Sold To The Wicked Him

Never once in my life that I felt like this. I thought I was going to die that every minute that I stay inside this room would get intern to be crazy.

It is not as if I am a good girl back when I was a little. Studying something that I don’t like but even so, I do have a talent on it.

“You are a fast learner Madame”

Yeah yeah, say whatever you want. But instead of complementing me, I would much appreciated if it you would help me in this.

Look, it doesn’t seems like I am halfway there. It’s been an hour yet… hah….

“Do you know that when you were not here I am the one who was handling this matters? Ot was so nice of you to come in this place. I am really sure that you would be a good madame of this house”

Do old man said as he smile as if he was so happy about the thing that is happening. Well indeed, maybe for him it was a happy location to celebrate since who would even want to handle this kind of matters.

I then stop on my thoughts as I saw something that is not that good.

Why does the sum of the total expenses last month doesn’t suit what it should be?

The total expenses was way more bigger than all of the expenses added.

Looking at the old man he didn’t react on my reaction. Wait, it is perhaps a challenge for me?… a some quite of a test maybe?

“Mister head butler I think that there was something wrong about expenses last month”

“Yes madam what is wrong about it?”

The way he answered me just confirmed my thoughts about them making this part of a test whether I would just let go such trivial matters or should I face it head on.

So that they couldn’t in yet until I didn’t notice that it was already time for dinner.

Stretching my hand aa I let my back rest on the chair, it was a tough day indeed. That’s was so lucky me that I do have some knowledge about this kind of thing.

Standing up, I almost fell on the ground as I lost my balance but luckily I have a hold on the table making me regain my balance and foothold.

It was so lucky that they had but there was already gone or else I would just make a call out of myself.

” oh my, that scared me”

I mumbled as the door suddenly open revealing the head butler.

” It seems like you are already done with your works madame”

“Yes, It seems like it”

And just like how he used to smile just a while ago, he then offers me the way towards the dining hall.

Silently following him, I stretches my hands and fingers and I feel like I needed to do it or else my hand would be stiff as tone. I wonder when was the last time I write and focus my mind like that. Maybe that was way so long ago.

And by that we already reach the dining hall. It reveals Aiden who was already eating. With the way his food looks, it seems like he is already finish.

Somehow I wonder why I felt strange. The thoughts of someone waiting for you before they eat. The thoughts of someone smiling it he was she welcomes you on the dining table.

‘Lea, lets eat while the food is hot. It would be tasty if the soup is cold’Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

The thoughts of someone being happy to see you as you dine them in their meal.

I wonder why I suddenly felt so unhappy right now.

“What are you standing there for?”

He asked with his cold voices as he wipe his mouth using that white handkerchief on his hands.

“Nothing…”

I didn’t know the words the direction of the chair that was assigned for me. Looking at the view I have, even if the food in front of me looks delicious, I can’t help but to have no appetite to eat.

” so you already finished those files?”

Hey ask pertaining about those files I managed to finish a while ago. I then nodded my head as a reply.

Feeling how does pair of eyes was looking at me, I wonder what is his motives this time.

Do he want me to clean this plates after he finish eating? Or maybe he do want me to clean the whole mansion before I go to sleep?

I am not really quite sure why I am thinking like this but one thing is for sure, I am not happy any bit.

Standing up he didn’t utter any more words. He left, just like that. He left, not even looking back at me.

It seems like… it would be just me to eat in this place huh…

The silence that I was feeling right now, isnt the silence a been wanting to have. It wasn’t pleasing in my ear. It was way more hurtful than any noises created by a falling bomb.

Closing my eyes, I remember how I would put my hands together and give thanks for the food that I would eat. Looking at my right side, it makes me feel empty somehow.

.

.

.

The light suddenly touches my eyes. It is blinding. I can’t help but cover it using my hands. I was just sleeping yet, that kind of thing makes me be awake. Opening my eyes I have no idea why there are people in front of my. Again, it was the three person who fixed me while I was asleep. But this time, there are two more people. It was the maid with jolly personality with curly hair and the maid with a poker straight hair.

Now… what is it this time?

.

.

.

“I would like to ask if it would be alright to refrain your people in touching me without my consent…”

I am not sure if I do have the rights to say this. I am but his mere slave.

“After the breakfast, you will come with me to the work. It would be better if you would make good connections with them. Do not let them think that we are not married. For them, we married year ago. You came back from the other country after you lost your family. It would be much believable than to say you are working there”

He stated not even minding my words. It seems like, just like what I thought , I have no rights to say words as that.

Still, that kind of situation… is he aware of my background story?

I wonder..

As soon as the breakfast ended, again, those people changed my clothes for the second time this day.

I am portraying to be his wife whom he married year ago. He also said that I am a consultant. That is my job in that country I am from. Acting… it was easy and hard at the same time. But if you are serious, it would be easy as one plus one. It would even be much better if those people you are fooling have no idea who you are.

“Is she ready?”

“Yes sir”

And so, we went on the office he owns. I can say that this building was pretty big. I have no idea how many floors it have. Unlike the surrounding that I always see before.. this was… quite a new scenery.

Closing my eyes, somehow… I miss the smell of grass freesia. That fruity scent that can be compare to fresh strawberries…. So calming-

Before I even have a happy time in remembering things that makes me happy, it was all suddenly became a bubble that someone deliberately popped. And yes, to state that someone, it was Aiden.

“Hurry, the time is ticking ”

He stated as he fixed the curl on his coat.

There is nothing I can do but do just as what he said. We entered the building. It was… more advanced than what I have thought. It is not that I am not familiar with this inventions. Even in the place where I lived with my grandparents, we are aware of the existence of this things. Even so, seeing it for yourself, truly is some good experience

“Good morning Sir, the- good morning Madame”

I then look at the person who just greeted me. Slightly nodding my head in reply, he continued to explain his words to Aiden.

“And this would be the schedule for today”

That do sounds so full. I wonder what task would be given to me this time.

Looking at Aiden, I was surprised when he already entered the elevator. Wait, did he just left me?!?!
