Chapter 38: Chapter 38

35.1

"They never treat me as a slave?" I asked myself when I faced the mirror, combing my hair. "If they are not treating me as his slave, then, what are they doing? They are just hiding me here in the mansion?" I added figuring what might be the treats they had shown to me these past months. Maybe, they are right that they are not treating me as a slave, but what they did to me was completely wrong. And that's what made me become his slave.

The way I think might be wrong. Damn, this made me awake this evening, and cannot even sleep peacefully. Stupid thoughts pop my head already.

Okay then, let’s just say they didn’t consider me a slave. They are just hiding the daughter of Emmanuel, their enemy. They are trying to revenge using me and that's stupid. They sympathized with me and I was suddenly surprised that my father was to blame for them. Damn.

Sighing, after combing my hair, I go out of my room and today was another day that I need to face.

I didn't see Wim and Wrum and I don't know where they are. I can only see Wrum's people roaming around. The mansion was tightly guarded as if there was a diamond they are protecting, afraid of people might steal it.

I went back to the second floor of the mansion, then I looked for Wim in his room here which is next to my room, but I could see him. The room was empty, the bed was empty and for sure Wim is not inside of his bathroom, peeing. Also, I tried to look for Wrum inside his room and went in and just looked around his room. He is not here.

Where are those two? I was about to leave his room when I suddenly heard the door to his restroom and shower room open. Immediately, I turned my gaze there then I saw Wrum come out of there.

Amazed at what I saw and I could almost step out of his room because of his well-carved abs shown to me.

I had already seen her body, but I was still shocked. I shouldn’t feel this way anymore. I should have gotten used to it, but I didn't. I saw the towel is wrapped around his waist. He took a bath and shit, he's too fresh. I cleared my throat and tried not to look down at his body again.

"What are you doing here?" he asked me. He had a serious look that seemed to be wondering why I was here in his room.

"I just want to check if you're here in your room. I didn't see you in the living room, even in the kitchen." I explained. "I didn't see Wim there either, so I was wondering if you left and left me here alone," I said.

He turned slightly away from me and faced the closet. He opened it as if he was looking for something to wear. He is looking for a long sleeve and trousers.

"Why are you looking for me?" he asked me and he immediately turned his gaze back to me. "Maybe you just missed me," he added.

"I did not miss you because I did not see you, I already told you why I was looking for you." explaining to him again.

Because he was still going to be dressed, I go out and closed the door. Afraid that I might see something and something might happen to me in his room.

I went downstairs and then I saw Wim. Thankfully, he showed up. He was talking to someone on his cellphone but he immediately put it down when he felt my presence.

"I saw you Silic," he smiled at me. I wondered what he meant when he saw me. Most likely, he will see me because he has eyes.

"What?" I just asked him.

"I saw you enter Wrum's room." and I know he was thinking that I and Wrum had done something inside. "Did something happen to you there?" my eyes just widened at what he said.

"Such dirty-minded person, I want to slap you now, if you already knew," I told him. "I enter his room to check if he was in there, for I did not saw him here," I explained to him.

I nodded at him and just saw him smile. He didn't seem to believe what I told him. Oh God, do I looked like lying at this moment.

"There's food ready on the dining table." he changes the topic. "We're just waiting for Wrum to come down now."

I looked up again and saw that Wrum was still not coming down. I turned my gaze back to Wim.

"I have something to tell you Wim," I said. "Didn't you mention last night that you didn't treat me as a slave here?" I asked him.

He nodded at me. "Maybe I and you feel that too, you just feel that Wrum just forced you to live with him," he said to me. "Maybe, he did it on purpose." he just told me.

"He did it on purpose?" I can't believe I asked him.

"Maybe. I don't know exactly about it." he sits on the dining table chair. "You'd better ask Wrum himself about that since he's the only one who can answer your questions Silic," he said once turning his look on me.

My God. I thought he would answer my questions to him, but he didn't. I just followed him to the dining table and sat near him.

"Why don't you just answer it Wim?" I asked him again. He faced, took the chair under the table, and sat down opposite me. "I know you know this. I know you know a lot about Wrum and his secrets."

"Yeah, I know Silic, but I don't know everything." he just answered me. "And I have no intention of telling you this either."

"Stop stressing yourself," he said to me again. "You probably don't have to find out Silic anymore. Just think about this, Wrum only wants to protect you. That's all."

"Fine." I just answered him.
