Hello, before I start the chapter, I wanna thank y'all for 6k reads. Never ever ever in my life did I think this story would that many reads in a million years. Knowing myself I probably would've canceled this book so you guys are the ones that keep it going. So thank you guys. Feel free to talk to me anytime. • • • Y/N's POV-
I had fallen asleep on the couch, the book on my face.
I sat up and grabbed the book, pushing my hair out of my face.
I got up and quickly changed into a new dressed and fixed my hair, walking back down the stairs.
I had the book in my hand finishing it and I got into the kitchen.
"What can I get you ms. Jefferson?" Layne asked
"Just... anything..." I said, not really paying attention.
She chuckled and I flipped another page.
I continued to read. Flipping page after page and finally I got to the last page.
"I'll treasure you for the rest of my life. Forever."
Wow.
I didn't know how to feel at this moment.
He had technically just poured his heart out to me.
I closed the book and smiled, hugging it.
Layne finished cooking and dad came down the steps.
"Get ready sweetie, we're going to the tailor!" He said
"What for?" I asked
"George Washington is hosting a masquerade ball. And we're going." He said
I smiled widely. "Really?"
He nodded "eat and then we'll go."
I nodded as Layne sat down my plate and dad went to his study.
"Layne... if you were free... would you be able to go? To the ball?" I asked
She shook her head "I'd have to buy my freedom as well. Just because you would unclaim me as a slave I would go to a different man. And frankly. I'd like to stay here. I may still work without pay and be a slave but you do not whip me. Nor yell. I have it lucky. Your father may sometimes but you control him, I probably would be dead by now if it wasn't for you. So thank you."
I smiled sadly "I want you free... why do we have slaves? It isn't fair,"
She nodded "I agree. But for right now. I'm going to be fortunate of how lucky I am."
I smiled, getting up. I went to dads study and we were off to the tailor.
We got there and I was fitted. Dad chose a mask to go with my dress.
