Chapter 5

Chapter 5

I felt hungry before so I could do nothing but eat what Wim prepared. I'm sure it has no poison in it to kill it. After I ate Wim came over. He just told me that the maid would take care of cleaning the table. All I had to do was go with him to my room.

I asked Wim for some fun. So I cannot feel bored staying in the room. He gave me pocketbooks, for me to read. Maybe that’s all I did all day in the bedroom. And at least, the negative thoughts that once surrounded me were gone. But even so, I still couldn’t avoid that until the night came. Wim just brought me food here. Wrum never let me go because of what happened earlier.

The night got darker and darker. I still can't sleep. Events continue to haunt my mind. Until I just realized that I had fallen asleep.

I woke up to the sound of the door. They seem to be opening it so I quickly woke up from my bed. I saw it open and it gave Wim out the door. It was carrying two paper bags.

"You're awake Silic," he said and he barely approached from here on my bed. He was still slightly sitting on the side of my bed. "It would be nice to see that I bring it first."

He dropped two paper bags from the bed. It contains a dress and other women's accessories.

"That's a dress and other things you need to wear on your way with Wrum today. I don't know where he walks. We'll find out later." he explained to me.

"Thank you." I just told him. An expensive dress came up in my morning. It will be loved and I will make sure I am not mistaken. This is the dream dress I will buy. I even save it for my salary but it can be sold out quickly. I just bought fake ones that look original in the market.

"Just tell me if you don't want that so we can change it right away," he told me again. "Wrum's want you to be comfortable with what you wear."

"Thank you. It's okay with me." my only answer.

He just nodded at what I told him. "Okay then, I will go out. After you take a bath and get dressed, just go out and go down to eat and so that you will be ready for your departure. Did you understand?" he said and I nodded.

He even transferred something to me. That I should calm down in front of Wrum and just accept my fate in his mansion. I feel lucky here. How could this be luck in their eyes? Damn them.

I got up from my seat on the bed. I slightly lowered my dress until it fell to the floor. I did not have a blanket to enter the shower room.

I pressed a button on the side signaling for cold water to fall on my body. At the same time, my tears fell in my eyes. I better cry here in the shower room so no one will notice. My whole body is wet.

I can't help but cry this time. I have done nothing wrong in this world for them to give me such punishment. I want to denigrate myself as well as everyone in this mansion. I took a deep breath.

After I took a bath, I immediately put on my bathrobe and came out of the bathroom. I immediately put on the dress inside the paper bag. A paper bag only has a make-up kit.

I looked at myself in the mirror. I look good this time but I can still see the sadness in my eyes. I can do this. Fight.

I went downstairs then slightly turned to the side where the kitchen was. I saw Wrum sitting there. On the side are uniformed maids and on the other side are her two staff while Wim is just next to her.

When he felt my presence he turned in my direction. He looked at me from head to toe and I was sure I didn't look stupid in what I was wearing right now. I'm so beautiful now.

"I took a shower and got dressed. I probably can't speed up the preparation." I explained to him.

I approached the table. Wim pulled up the chair under the table. That was a signal for me to sit next to Wrum.

"Where are we going?" instead of answering his question to me, I just asked him back.

"Do not ask me. Just eat," he said. I saw him take his fork.

He motioned for his uniformed chief to serve the food from the table. The food was laid out one after another on the table. Many more times and I'm sure I'll gain weight here in the mansion.

"Eat. This is all for you," he said. "I told them to cook it just for you," he said as he referring to the chicken.

"I did not tell you to prepare me." char, I'm just really hungry. "I am just nothing in here but you're treating me like a princess. You should treat me as a slave." I said.

I started tasting the foods lying on the table. In fairness, the relish.

"Do you think I'm treating you like a princess?" he asked. "That's bullshit. I let you have the freedom to explore in my mansion."

"If my father is to blame for you, it should not lead to this," I said. "You better just look for a woman to marry. You are rich. For sure many women will be obsessed with you."

"I don't do romance," he said. "But you know what I can do?"

I tried to slice the chicken, tasted it, and turned my gaze to him. It was obvious from his face and what he was doing to me that it had no heart.

"What? You just play a woman?" I will ask.

"Exactly."

"I can give no mercy to you."

I just swallowed what he said. "You're going to kill me?" I asked him nervously.

"Not yet time for you to rest forever." he just answered me.
