Chapter 5 Five

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.

"You're awake Silic," Wim said when he entered the room with a paper bag. He sat at the side of my bed. "It would be nice if you will see this paper bag that I am bringing for you. Wrum wants me to give them to you."

He dropped the two paper bags on 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. He just ordered me to give it to you." I said.

"Thank you," I told him. An expensive dress came up in my morning. I will surely love the dress. This is the dream dress I want to buy. I even saved money from my salary but it can be sold out quickly. I just bought fake ones that looked 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.

I glanced back at the dress that I received. I may be lucky to have an elegant dress I dream but I am not lucky to be here at the mansion of the beast.

I pressed the button at the side that makes the water falling on my body. I closed my eyes and think about my family, the job that I left, and Luna that I left drunk in the middle of the dance floor. I cry. The tears flowing on my face, but no one can notice it.

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.

"What makes you so long?" he asked me seriously. He even looked at his watch.

"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.

"I did not tell you to prepare me." 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.

I want to curse a word at him. I want to slap his face again. I can't accept that this will be my fate. A fate to be his slave. He's a billionaire, but I do not want to be his slave.
