Marcus Pov.......
Emily my naive sister, there's nothing she would tried to hide that I wouldn't find. I sense something manly in her chamber. The guard man was certainly telling the truth but who is this man Emily was hiding in her chamber...
She might be best in lying to cover her trash but I know more wisely sister. After strode out of her chamber to given her the assurance of not applied men to watch over her, that even makes her more suspicious.
She's hidding someone in that chamber. But who?
I slaps my fingers, abd a guard man runs up to me. "Milord" he greeted, head bowed
"I want you to keep an eye on her sister chamber. Make sure to report whatsoever you see to me. Don't you skip a chance" I threaten coldly.
" Yes Milord"
There one matter to me was her life. She had been with me all these years. One certain thing, my sister love the most was security and fancy things. She love attention to be on her but refusing the offer to keep her safe, makes me more curious.... To know the fool who was playing hidden nest in my sister chamber!
I strode down the dark corridor, escort by the guards men even though Emily might have refused to be protected, I still instructed men to watch her secretly.
Just in the dark corridor, lit with light of the burning candle in the wall. I heard a whispering voice, arguing. I stopped also with the men.
"Milord, what's up?" A guard man behind me asked. He wasn't too far from me just some few feets.
"Keep your mouth shut" I said quietly. Bend my ear down to understand what argument was about.
"I told you, I need time, the mansion is more secure now after the death of the maid. We need to be more careful" the hidden said, telling it opponent.
My men want to steps in but I stop.if I want to caught the traitor without them knowing, I have to be more wise and careful...
"Milord, who did you thinks, is speaking?" One of the men asked. " I would advice if you shut that your mouth up without saying a word"
But the voice sounds familiar to me, a voice of a woman. Who would she been. Suddenly, them stops talking and we heard a feet steps coming behind the wall. ...
I compose myself, wave my hand to the men to keeps on walking. So, whosoever that was coming behind the wall would suspect a thing.
But freaking, a slender figure walks out of the wall. She was in her maid uniform, used a yellow scarf to cover her face. When she saw us, she was frightened, stunned at us.
Hurriedly she bowed her head without taking note of her face, bitting on her lip nervously. I looked at her, trying to examine where I have saw her before..
"Milord" she greeted, trying to hide her face from me.... But her voice point out her identity
"What's your name?" I asked, staring at her suspicious. Her head was still looking at the floor..
"My... Name..is Angela, milord" she stammer
"Hmm, Angela, have I meet you before?"
" Not really milord" she answered...
I'm sure I have meet her before but why she lying to my face. I clearly remember her well. She was one with Isabella who served the Duke. Why is she denying the fact I haven't meet her before..
"What's your duty in the mansion?" I further my question.
" I'm a cook, milord"
A cook, the same cook that have a scar on her face. I couldn't spot the scar because she quickly bowed her head... But that's was too smart my dear... I smirk at her amusing..
"Since, we haven't meet each other, I believe you should be on your way to attend to other duties"
" Thank you milord"
She raised up but still hiding her face with scarf and runs out. Rough steps closer to me after the lady left..
"Milord" he whisper, echoed enough in my ears for the others not to hear.
"What's up?"
"She's the same maid, we spot at night"
" What? And you didn't tell me?"
" But..... I just told you Milord" he tried to prove himself right. Why didn't anyone told me in time before she left?
"You all dumb ass!"
"We're sorry milord"
" Keep your eyes on that maid. There are more to her than you think. Understand!"
" Yes... Milord!"
.......................
Exhaustion of the day on finding the culprit in Emma death wasn't easy, since everyone seem as a suspect to me. It was going to be hard to break the dead news to Isabella and Lily about the death of their friend. I haven't thought on how they are going to feel when them heard Emma is dead....
I slumped tirelessly on the couch, close my eyes, breath in before I heard the voice that always lighten my mood.
"Milord, you're back?"
I slightly opened my eyes and saw a slender beautiful figure standing by the side of the couch, with her hands clenched on the top.
She wore a loosen nightgown, uncovering her reddish nipples tip, her blonde hair was untied, flowing freely on her shoulder. From the way she looks, she haven't been out of the room all day... What is this woman wearing! Was she sent to kill me? How could she wore this type of a gown in the daily sunny day!
"You must be tired after today work?"
Staring at her beautiful eyes, I nodded like a obedient child listening to his mother. With just the a glanced at her, I felt my monster raised up...
"What the hell are you doing? Wearing such a lacy light gown?" I scolded...
Did she just wants to tempt me?
"What?" She looked at herself. "What's worse with the gown?"
I swallowed, could let this temptation to just go away. I pulled her in arms, which she easily fall on me. Whlie my hands clenched her waist tightly.. she struggled
"What.... Are you trying to do!"
"Well, I wasn't the one who was tempting a poor man on his own"
" A poor man who?" She looked around and saw I was the only one with her in the living chamber....
"Oh you're the one, milord" she smiled charming. The smile that have a lot of meaning behind.
Gently she rest her hands around my neck.
"You know milord, I have wore this gown just for you" she whispered exotically into ears. Make the heat to burn up to my desire, she wore this gown for me? This woman was full with expectations, I smiled
"Do you like it?"
Like it? I love it!
" You can have me anyway you want. I'm all yours Milord"
" My spoil Lily"
I didn't waste a time to grab her on my arms head to the bedroom... Lightly I drop her on the bed, unbotton my shirt before slide in..
"Wait milord"
She stopped me from I could make any movement! " What's up?" I asked impatiently.
"But you before touch me, I have a request"
"A request?"
She nods firmly. '" you have to grant me access to go out of the this room to meet Isabella"
