Free A Gentleman's Luck by Nicole Hill

William was that beast.
    “ What do you suppose causes a man to lose his mind like that?” Maid two asked Maid one. Lisa was interested in this answer. What William did scared her and she does not want to be afraid of him.
    “ That’s easy. Sometimes I forget your so young and just assume you get things.” Maid one stated.
    “ Well. What is it?” Maid two asked. “Love.” Maid one said and Lisa caught her breath. “Say you are Sir William and you walk into the chambers of the woman you love and find a man on top of her hurting her. What do you do?” Maid one asked.
    “ Kill the bastard.” Maid two said emphatically.
    “ Exactly.” Maid one stated. Lisa was about to turn around and go back inside when she heard maid two's next question.
    “ If that’s true, then why is he going back to America?” Lisa heard no more while she turned and ran back to her rooms. He was leaving and he never even told her. She ran through the castle grounds not seeing anything or anyone while she tried desperately to get back to her rooms before she broke down into tears.

    William was on the training field when he first caught sight of Lisa. She was walking aimlessly not looking at anything in-particular. He could tell that she was lost in thought. He lost sight of her as she disappeared into the maze. He continued training and did not see her again for about thirty minutes. He looked up from getting water and saw her shoot across the grounds. She was running fast and she looked upset. His first thought was that she was running from someone but he saw no one behind her so he decided to go check on her. When he reached the door of her chambers he paused in the act of turning the knob as something crashed against the door. He twisted the door and it did not budge. He knocked. “Lisa. Baby are you OK.” He asked through the door.
    “ Go away!” She yelled and he heard another crash and assumed that she had thrown something else and the door.
    “ What the hell is going on? Na-Lisa Open the door.” He said more firmly.
    “ Leave!” She yelled. “I don’t want to talk to you ever again.” William had no idea what was going on.
    “ What did you do?” He heard Tis-Dale ask from behind him and he turned to look at the twin of the very angry Lisa.
    “ I have no idea.” He answered shocked that it could be something he had done. “I saw her running across the grounds and I followed. This is as far as I got.” Tis-Dale knocked on the door.
    “ Na-Lisa Can I come in?” Another book hit the door.
        “ I said go away! Both of you!” She screamed and there were more sounds of crashing.
    “ Oh forget this.” William said hitting the wall. “I’m going through the passageway. I'll find out what’s wrong with her.” Tis-Dale shook his head and walked down the stairs. This was so none of his business. William walked through the passageway and had to duck to avoid being hit in the head with a crystal vase.
    “ I told you not to come in!” Lisa yelled at him. He surveyed the room and saw that it was in shambles. What had upset her so badly?
    “ Lisa darlin.” He started but she screamed at him again. “No! Don’t ever call me that! I hate it when you call me that!” He grabbed her and wrapped her in his arms as she struggled and wailed while she pounded his chest with her tiny frail fists. She was going to hurt herself if he didn’t get her to calm down.
    “ Stop it baby. Please stop or you'll hurt yourself.” He told her trying to hold her still as gently as possible.
    “ No I will not stop!” She wailed “I hate you! I hate you! You are leaving me!” She was ranting while she continued to struggle in his arms. He doubted if she even knew what she was saying. “I love you and you’re leaving me and I hate you for it!” Will caught her in his arms tightly enough so that she could not move. Had he heard that right? Did she just say that? She gasped and he released the pressure enough so that she could
