Chapter 38 Winning the slave
Madison’s POV:
I gradually opened my eyes, and looked around the room in confusion. I can’t even recall how I got to my room in the first place.
“You are awake?” That was Lady Delia’s voice, and I quickly jumped up from the bed. She smiled faintly at me, and I gulped hard.
“How did I get in here, my lady?” I asked with eyes narrowed. The last scenario I remember was singing for the Master while he sleeps.
“It was Axel who brought you in this morning. The Master told me to give you some contraceptive herbs” Lady Delia handed the piping hot substance in the cup.
My face countenance changed immediately I saw the cup of herbs. I don’t need anyone to tell me that the content of that cup is really very bitter.
“Do I really need to take this Lady Delia?” I cried out, and she feigned anger at me. I bowed my head in guilt immediately.
“This is for your own good young lady. I’m sure I told you already what will happen to you if eventually you get pregnant” Lady Delia snapped, and I gulped hard.
“I’m going to be killed?” Goosebumps ran down my spine, and I quickly took the cup from her.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
“You need to take the herbs as soon as possible. We can’t let you get pregnant no matter what. The master will not have any pity on you if you get pregnant” She replied, and I nodded my head.
Covering my nose, I gulped down the content of the cup with face squeezed.
“Now, you should get ready to go back to the fields. It’s been long since you did any work there. You know how strict the field master can be” Lady Delia walked towards the door.
“Lady Delia?” I called, and she turned her gaze to me with her eyebrows raised. I opened my mouth to speak, but I closed them again.
“What’s the matter Madison? Did something happen? Is there anything you’d like me to know?” She anxiously inquired, and I reluctantly nodded my head in agreement.
“Yes there is” I mumbled biting my fingers, and she walked back to me sitting on the bed edge.
“Tell me sweetheart. What happened?” She asked, and tears circulated in my power eyes the moment I wanted to speak.
“I don’t know how you feel if I ask you for this, but I think there’s someone else who needs the contraceptive herbs” I exhaled deeply, and she widened her eyes.
“Someone else who needs the contraceptive herbs? Who could that be? I made sure that I get the contraceptive herbs to all the slaves who had s*x with a Master” Lady Delia snapped, and I nodded my head.
“Mona… I think you need to give Mona as well” I sniffed, and lady Delia glared at me.
“Why should I? She hasn’t had s*x” Lady Delia stared at me in confusion.
“She went with me to The valleys, and she disguised herself just to help me. No one else knows about this except for you, herself and I” I started, and Lady Delia gasped in shock.
“What? What would she take such a risk? Does she have a death wish or something?” Lady Delia freaked out, and I sniffed even harder.
“She did it for me, my Lady. She did it because she wanted to help me, knowing that almost all the Masters chose me” I burst into tears.
“She took such a risk just to ensure your safety? She was ready to sacrifice her own life for you to be alright?” Lady Delia sounded so emotional, and that made me cry the more.
“Please don’t tell this to anyone my lady. I do not want her to be killed. I rather die than watch her being beheaded or hang to death” I fell on my knees holding Lady Delia’s leg.
“You have nothing to worry about. I assure you, no one else to know about this. Don’t worry, I’ll get her the contraceptive herbs” Lady Delia helped me up, and I smiled at her.
“Thank you so much my lady” I bowed at her, and she nodded before leaving the room.

I walked to the field in my sack dress. One thing I can’t tell is why I still look good even while putting on the sack dress. In fact, my figure seems to bulge out of the sack dress the more.
“Here you are again, silly” I don’t need anyone to tell me the voice was Mateo’s. I gulped hard, and turned to him glaring fiercely at him.
I’m no longer the fearful slave they used to know. The little torture I’ve gone through has made me so strong.
“Where’s my work portion Sir Mateo” I went straight to the point, and he walked closer to me, and hit my butt. I pushed his hand away, and the other slaves gasped, but they turned to their duty posts anyway.
“You’re still as stubborn as ever slave. Who do you think you are?” He glared hard at me, and I turned away from him.
“I thought you would have stopped this by now Sir. I’m really not in the mood for this, I just want my duty post” I snapped, and he stared at me in surprise. I’m sure he didn’t expect me to talk back at him. Furthermore, I’m just done letting them trample all over me.
Likewise, I could see anger boldly written on his face, okay! Not only that, but I was really afraid this time. Who knows what he’s going to do to me?
He grabbed my wrist, and I winced in pains cos the grip was too tight that I felt he was going to break my wrist.
“You really want your duty post?” He slapped me hard across the face, and my face turned red immediately.
He dragged me along, and I ran after him. Likewise, he didn’t care if I was getting hurt. Furthermore, he pushed me into the cow dung, and the other slaves laughed. Do they enjoy me getting humiliated and hurt?
I struggled to get up, and Mateo raised his hand to push me back into the filthy cow dung, but a voice stopped him.
“Do not dare” A voice was heard….
