Xavier’s POV


    I fumed in anger immediately I got the message from Stone’s castle.


    “He dares refuse me? How is that even possible? Stone has never ever refused to hand over his ves once we choose any of them to buy” I growled in fury.


    “I’m sorry master, but this message came directly from Master Stone’s castle” One of the bodyguards exined, and I arched my eyebrows.


    “I thought I heard from Stone but the ve stepfather holds him a lot of money, and that you would like to recover the money as soon as possible? Why then doesn’t he want to sell the ve to me and regain the money that her stepfather had borrowed from him?” I thought out loud. What is going on with Stone. He has never been like this with any of his ves no matter how beautiful they look.


    “Just this once. This is the only ve of Stone that I got so attracted to, and he’s going to refuse me? Among all his ves, she’s the only one I want. Why won’t he let me have her if he ims he doesn’t care about her?” I continuedmenting with anger burning through my veins.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    “Master, why don’t you choose another ve? I’m sure he will sell to you another other ve that you choose” The guard chipped in, and I picked up the sword on the table. I pointed the sword to his neck, and he stared at me with fear written all over his face.


    “Who told you that you’re allowed to say anything? Huh? You think you have a say in this? If I hear you say a word again, I won’t hesitate to cut your tongue off, and have your head served to me on a tter of gold” I yelled at him, and he shivered in fear before going on his knees in front of me.


    “I’m so sorry Master. Forgive my carelessness, I didn’t mean to provoke you my Lord” He pleaded, and I stared at him for a few minutes before I withdrew my sword.


    “You had better bridle your tongue if you don’t want to get yourself killed” I mumbled sheathing the sword, and dropping it on the table again.


    I paced around with thoughts running through my mind. I thought of the ve Madison, and smiles escaped my lips.


    “Cyrus!” I called once, and he rushed to me kneeling in front of me with his head bowed.


    “Get the horses ready. We’ll have to pay Stone’s castle a visit. I need to speak to him face to face, and know the reason why he refused to sell the ve to me” I said with finality in the tone of my voice.


    Emery’s POV


    I stopped in front of Madison’s gate the moment Maria lured her out of her room to the field.


    Rodolfo sneaked into the room with the diamond ne. He was going to nt it into Madison’s bag. I’m sure the Master would look for it soon. Few minutester, Rodolfo sneaked out and I smiled at him.


    “I hope you did a clean job? I wouldn’t want us to be implicated. I just want that girl to be out of the way once and for all” I smirked at him, and he nodded his head in agreement.


    “Don’t you trust me? You should know what I’m capable of. I already nted the ne into her bag. Once the Master finds out that she’s the one who stole the ne like it will look, he will definitely order for her to be killed” Rodolfo assured me, smiles escaped my lips.


    The thought that she’ll be killed made me continue smiling like a fool.


    Let’s see how she’ll escape from the trap that I already set for her…..
