Prologue: After Sarah Death

Life goes on 

After two weeks of Sarah's death, everything went back to normal like it never happened before, that's the stupidity that kills us there, even if someone dies in the wrong way we accept it as common and moves on. The best the mothers can afford to tells you never to near the white because it's is forbidden.

All our lives have been guiding by one rule or the other. We accept the fact even if we don't like it, have no right to stands against it.

Black means poverty in my world! "Isabella, not that way," mother warned "pack it's little by little, that's way it would be easier for you" 

"Okay mother" I reduced the way I was packing the grains into the basket. "Good job, girl, "she praised me, giving me the guts to do More.

"Why are you all slow?" Lady Eleanor asked when stepping in at the backyard of the kitchen wall. "We're sorry, lady Eleanor, we'll make it fast" my mother apologize on our behalf. I suddenly increase my capabilities to be fast with the packing of the grains while mother should busy herself with the other job inside the kitchen with her follows workers.

Lady Eleanor went along to supervise the cooks. "Why so fast?" Little clam voice said to me, I raise my head and was surprised! Extremely surprised! Does a little white kid speak to me? He was dump good looking, I have never seen any white boy should be this handsome at a little age. "s-sorry young L-lord, I was asked to be fast" I bow down my head showing my respect to him. Not to get eyes to contact with him. It's forbidden to look into your master or lord's eyes when speaking to you.

"Hmmm" he sighed, "Then lets me help"

I was shocked, "N-no lord, it's is forbidden. I all do it myself"

"I said I want to help and am not taking no for answer" he warps up his long hand shirts and pack some grains into the basket, standing close to me! It's was unbelievable act I must say, seeing a white helping a black. Maybe mother was right, some white has a heart for black. He smiles at me makes me blush, of course, I did! " What's your name? Beautiful"

Did I just hear beautiful? That's the first time I have received a compliment in my life!

I looked at him, he chuckled lightly, "m-my n-name i-is isabella" I shyly reply taking my face down again. "Wow! Beautiful as you" he exclaims. "I love your name, mine is Marcus"

"Sir Marcus" I applied "no just Marcus" he corrected, "don't be afraid, just call me Marcus"

"Okay"

"You haven't said it"

"M-Marcus" I slowly call. "Good" 

"What are you doing with a maid!" Lady Eleanor roars walks closer to us. I was frightened because I know am already in trouble again! " You slut! " She drags me by my hair. "Let's her go! "Marcus screams.

"Shut your mouth!" She slaps back at him.

I was dragged painfully on the ground, Lady Eleanor doesn't care if I was a child or not!

My screaming draws out the attention of my mother and the other women inside the kitchen. "Guards!" She calls " flogged her twenty strokes!" She commands, " you would dare do that!" Little Marcus roars again, 

"Take him to his room!" She ordered, Marcus was carried by one of the guards to his room ignoring his yelling. "As for you," she turns to me 

"You'll regret your life today!" 

"Please!" mother calls ran towards us "leave her, she's a child, lets me take her place whatever offense she has done I'll take it" 

"Ever well then flogged the mother!"

My mother was put in my place "mother!" I called crying watching the way she was flogged all because of me, she does turn, she turns to see me as she smiles even in pains.
