LOVE AT FIRST BITE
Love at first bite
Tagged as an adulterous woman, Branded as a slut, Stripped of her heirloom, Bereaved of her child..
Sapphire felt the earth repelled her existence, people laughed, mocked and ridiculed her
"A one time slut"They sang
Alone between the heavens and the embers,All that Revolved when she had a Bite Of The Notorious Lord!!!!!...
"Take me with you"
With a cynical laugh he asked
"Why should I?"
"Milord, I can be of help to you, you have no child" she gathered courage to say as she watched the look in his eyes change for a brief second before he narrowed his eyes at her.
"Woman you are in no position to bargain with me, go home" his reply was curt
"Home! She scoffed "I've no home, No family waiting for me"Sapphire lips quivered as she spoke, she fought the tears that threatened to roll down her eyes, she had to be strong for her son..
She was in a sorry shape, she had taken a ferocious whip to her back and her skin had been shredded into bloody fibres, her legs and the bottom of her feet had also taken a beating as blood dripped from the deep gash on her right leg .
He clasped his hands behind his back
"I feel offended woman, are you so desperate to climb to the top"
Sapphire could not argue with his conclusion, she needed his protection for her son's future, even though for a temporary abode. She had made up her mind.
"My apologies milord----" she began
"But if worth it, I'll use every fiber in my body to protect my son".
Lord Typhon wasn't certain how to proceed, in truth he was astonished that she would turn to him for protection. Didn't the daft woman realize what she was getting herself into? He decided to enlighten her.
"You won't survive for so long even with my protection, if words got out not only you would pay the price even your son will be tinted, even the Esporio's family can't protect him"
She attempted a smile and said
"I have thought of all the possibilities that could happen and I'll use it as an advantage to climb to the top with your help milord"
This craze woman wasn't embracing reality, he looked at her eyes which held emptiness, death, she wasn't far from it.. her resilience preyed him to lend a digit, he was a man of reasons and she gave him one.
After a moments thought, Lord Typhon finally considered her request
"It'll be thrilling to see that resilience of yours been trampled to the ground Woman...."
She gave him a reason.....
The love of a MOTHER!!!!...
