MISTRESS
«
BLACKWOOD ESTATE
Tucked behind tall gates and a winding
stone driveway, the estate stood like a quiet
symbol of timeless wealth. The three-story
mansion blended modern glass with classic
architecture, its wide terraces overlooking rolling lawns and a mirror-like pool.
Inside, sunlight poured through floor-to-
ceiling windows, glinting off marble floors
and gold-trimmed chandeliers. A sweeping
staircase curved beneath a skylight, leading
to private suites, a personal gym, priceless
paintings hung along the stairway and a rooftop garden with panoramic views.
Surrounding the home were manicured
gardens, a tennis court, a guesthouse, and
just enough distance from the outside
world to keep everything peaceful, private, and untouched by noise.
Ring Ring
An alarm clock rang in the quiet and dark
bedroom, a hand stretched out from
beneath the quilt turned off the alarm.
A gorgeous face that could cause a massive
stir in the entertainment industry, messy
hair, dazed eyes from sleep, ulterly sexy, his
pajamas could hardly hide his well built
body, abs and six packs, the tattoo on his fair skin adding a touch of mystery to him.
The time read 7:00am, walking to the
massive jacuzzi bathtub stripping off his
clothes to take a bath.
»Some minutes later
Going through elevator, Xander pressed the last floor button.
Ding the elevator open, maids could be
seen going about their duty in an organized manner.
"Gretings eldest young master they saluted as I walked to the dinning room.
A couple could be seen talking and laughing
together the ambiance so sweet soon
turned still at Xanders arrival.
The middle-aged couple turn their attention to the intruder.
"Come come Xander right timing breakfast is ready.
" Go get the eldest master cutlery"
she spoke to the maid beside her.
"Yes madam she replied walking towards
the kitchen and soon return and placed them before him.
"You may all leave".
Evelyn spoke gently dismissing them,
they all scrurried off
"We didn't know you would join us for
breakfast as you mostly eat in your room,
sorry for the delay she smiled warmly.
Sitting opposite the couple, he swoly ate his
meal elegance etched in his bones as
though in a royal banquet, giving her chattering deaf ear.
They all ate quietly.
After the meal.
"Xander, your mother and I have a made a
discussion about your younger brother
return and everything has been finalized,
we hope you could look out for him in sch…
"No need am busy. As far as I can
remember my mum had no other
child before her death. An indifferent expression on his face.
"Slam. The table resounded front the slap
How dare you, we have put up with your
rebellion for far too long, Evelyn is my legal
wife and by status your mother, the earlier
you come to terms with it the better for you".
"Honey please cool your anger he is still
young, i know I can't replace his mother in
his heart but have being trying to get along with him these few years.
Tears dropped down her face, you don't
need to acknowledge me I won't force you.
"Enough even with your tantrums your
mother still speaks up for you, you are an
adult still thinking yourself as a child, ever
since you mother passed away we have
turned an eye away thinking that when you
grow up you would understand. But I guess we spoiled you too much.
"Honey have a sit and some tea, she
gently settled him on a sit, don't be angry
anymore do well to take care of your health,
being healthy is way more important don't
allow anger affect you. Her gentle voice
laced with concern.
I am also to be blamed if I had tried harder maybe…
"When is it the turn of a mistress to have a say in my matter".
The viens in His eyes red like a fierce beast
glarring at his prey. She tremble from fear
retreating some steps back subconsciously
her tears flowing so heartbreaking that
could men to protect her, even at age forty,
she possess a mature charm, years of
maintaining her skin and figure added a
seductive alure in contrast with the tears which made her look pitiful and wronged.
He stormed out of the house towards the garage, getting on his bike and drove out
Bang a slap on the table echo inside the house
Cough cough how dare that brat utter such
rubbish, darling am so sorry I have wronged you.
"What wrong have I done why would he say such hurtful word Evelyn sobs
"Darling you are my legal wife and nothing can change that.
He console her.
Someone clear here up
"Yes sir, the maid busied themselves.
"Honey let's go back upstairs you need
to rest"
They walked up the stairs.

The conversation among the maids grew
louder at their master absence.
"The eldest master bad temper is
increasing becoming worst, a waste of such gorgeous face".
"Come of it do you think you have a
chance, a toad like you lusting after a swan".
"So handsome if his temper had being
better
I would have given it a try, but too bad, but
thank God he doesn't come home all the time".
"Haha haha what a big dream won't that his icy glare scare you nuts."
"Just can't forget the day Sara made a
mistake in front of him that glacier ice berg
glare was so frightening almost urinated on myself.
He is staying at an apartment outside."
" Heard Sir asked him to come back more
often and spend fewer times out".
"The madam is such a gentle and nice
person and still yet he pours out his
dissatisfaction on her".
"I still remember
the second master
when he was young was also kind and has
an amiable smile always giving way to him."
" Sh sh
you wouldn't want the eldest master to hear you,
so scary when angry like a wounded beast looking for prey."
