Master & Slave #1: Señorita's Master

Alicia cannot sleep as she decides to go to the balcony in their mansion. She took a cigarette in her pocket and lit it using the candle light that one of their female servants lit as they prayed in the rosary. She puff it making one of the servants, Maya coughed again. Now loudly. Not able to utter any words. She smirked knowing that Maya had a hard time reciting the prayer because of coughing. She puff a smoke again near the poor females face not caring if the other person is suffering from her actions. She found it amusing that the female butler of the house is now glaring at poor Maya. "Maya, if you can't speak the prayer without coughing, you just let Josefina take the lead. Have decency to Virgin Mary and her prayer." Her lips curved into a smile. Clearly, the blame would go to the poor girl and she found enjoyment as a tear escaped from the eye of the servant like she always does. She smiled to herself as Maya struggles to take a breathe. "Maya, go to your quarters and we will talk later." The female butler said- not angry enough for her liking. She rolled her eyes and strode to the maids quarters where Maya is now laying in her bunker with her eyes close. "I saw you." She said to the poor girl. "I don't know what are you saying, Señorita Alicia." The girl sit up but her eyes glued to the sheets not meeting her glaring eyes. "You snake! I told everybody that Marcello is mine and you are seducing him! You slut!" She slapped the poor servant. "I did not know what you are saying but, I did not seduce him." She said, voice cracking in between the sobs as she reached for her swollen cheeks. "I would tell mama that one of her muchacha is sleeping with my father." She announced with a devilish smirk in her face. "I am innocent, Señorita. I did not sleep with Don Fernando" "But, you are a liar. One of the maids saw you slept with Marcello. I warned all of you beforehand but, you are stupid to defy my warnings." She left the woman cried loudly. --- Matthias was so excited to see her step brother Marcello in Montebello's mansion. Matthias was the son of the billionaire, Don Fabiano Montebello in one of the maids in their house Melena. His father wants to marry her mother but she refused for she was married before. His married later on the daughter of one of his friends who was pregnant with her lover in Manila that time. The secret about Marcello's real father was not disclosed, only to the four of them. Even though they were not related by blood, they love and treat each other like real siblings. "Matthias, welcome back! How is England?" Marcello excitedly hugged him. "England is a wonderful country, I hope you can come with me next time I plan to go back." He told his brother. "Matthias, I hope our relationship won't change." "Marcello, I am a very open-minded person but I need to tell you the truth. I only look at you as a brother." He told him as he poured himself a whiskey. "What? Matthias!" "I am just joking, what is it Marcello? Is it really important that you waited for me to go home to tell me what you want to tell me?" "Yes. I want to ask you for your sister's hand in marriage. I am marrying Maya. I love her Matthias, I really do. She loved me the same and we are expecting." "Wow, I -" "Señor Marcello! Maya is in danger!" Gardo was out of breathe when he enter the mansion. "What happened?" "The evil Señorita Alicia spread a rumor that Maya is sleeping with the womanizer Don Fernando! Donya Rosalina was so furious that she wanted Maya to be dragged by the horses across the rose field!" They were both alert and bolted out. Maya was her only half sister and she is so scared for the life of her. She promised her mother that when he will finish his degree in England he will take Maya with him for her to study there. Marcello was running faster than him, scared for the life of the woman he love and the child that he prayed to have. They reach the stables and they each rode their own horses. The faster to go to Hacienda Asuncion is by the creek. It was too late when they got there. Marcello was hugging the bruised, injured, bloody and lifeless body of Maya on the ground. Some parts of her face is unrecognizable. Her cheerful and beautiful sister is now dead. "She will pay for this. They will all pay for this." He promised while he crumpled the white rose that pricked her dainty hands.
