As Plain As Black And White

The door flew open and I tried to cover myself with his sheets.
"See I told you Sir." Isabella laughed. His father came running in and he grabbed me by my foot. Dragging me of his bed. I looked at James and cried.

"Father no. Please. NO!." His eyes became glassy while I was already crying.

"Yes James. This homo slave never does his work and he's always in your damn room. You need to focus on your marriage and you can't do that with him around." He dragged my naked body down the stairs by my door my foot. I knocked my head against every step.

"Yes I can. I will focus. Father please don't hurt him." We we're both naked and exposed.

"I won't. I'll kill him." He laid me on the floor and stepped on my ribs. Cracking them. Penny saw my naked body under his boot and she gasped. "Tell all the slaves to come out of the kitchen now." She ran back in the kitchen and within seconds, all of my peers lined up watch me struggle to breath.

"Guards. Beat him." Master pointed. I clench my eyes and I waited for the blows to come but I didn't feel anything except someone laying on me.

"NO! STOP!" They did as they were told "FATHER LET HIM LIVE PLEASE! HE HAS DONE NOTHING. I LOVE HIM." A tear fell from my eyes while plenty of tears fall from his. I watch him beg for my life.

"YOU DON'T LOVE HIM. YOU LOVE ISABELLA. HE KNEW THIS AND HE STILL PRESSED ON." I felt the gun go to my head. This is it. I'm a dead man. I'm just glad I died knowing I was loved, and that I'm black, and I'm strong. I looked into my lover's eyes. I put my hand on his face. I mouthed 'I love you too' "HE'S DONE." A loud bang and my eyes closed for an eternity.
