After he left, the door opened and a maid walked inside with piles of books. Did he have to buy the whole store? Kim thought in her head. They placed the books on the shelf and left.
Kim spent the rest of her day eating, reading, and watching movies. It felt so good to be treated like this after a long time.
When it was nighttime, she took her bath before laying on the bed to watch some film. The door opened and she saw Alexander walk inside. He was feeling exhausted as he sat down opposite her.
He had forgotten he had another mistress. This one was really fun teasing, unlike Olivia. Up till today she still hasn't told him her name yet. He thought of giving her a nickname that only he would call her.
"What?" she gave him an angry look before turning to the Tv.
"You haven't told me why you planned on overthrowing me. Enlighten me with the full story I'm bored" he smiled.
"Huh?"
"And don't even bother to lie to me. You know what I can do"
"Will you kill my friends?" she asked quietly. Even though she was a soldier, she was still scared of what he will do to her men.
"That's if you disobey me," he said.
"I don't know" she answered his question.
"Lie" he leaned his back on the chair.
Kim decided to tell him the truth but she would remove her friends from it. She didn't want anything bad to happen to them.
"Because you're evil and heartless," she said trying to see how he would react but instead he smiled at her.
"Interesting. But I haven't punished you or done anything bad to you" he chuckled darkly. "Or should I start with the punishment so you can see how cruel I am? I won't be surprised if you killed me one day"
Maybe she would, Kim thought. If he pushed her to her limits she wouldn't hesitate.
"But you should know I have subordinates who watch me like ghosts. One movement and your head will be out. Troublesome looking mistress"
"I'm not—"
"Are we back at it again? You want to quarrel more, right?"
"You pushed me to it"
"I was surprised at first to hear you and the General were leading the team. And from what I've confirmed, you weren't that experienced. So how did you manage to kill up to hundred soldiers?"
"Should I use you as an experiment?"
"I wouldn't be surprised if you do so"
She pulled the blanket reaching her chest. She wasn't comfortable with him sitting and watching her.
"I told the maids to bring you food every three hours. It's past three hours already" he took out the cell phone and made a quick phone call.
Within a blink of an eye, a maid rushed inside the room with a tray of food.
She didn't dare to look directly at the President as she walked past him with the trolley.
"Come here!" she heard him say. Instantly, cold sweats formed on her forehead.
With her head bent down, she walked slowly to him.
"Do you remember the instructions I gave to you?"
"I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't know it was up to three hours already" the girl explained. "She also told me not to bring food every three hours"
"Was that the question I asked you?" he asked. "You would need to be punished for starving my precious mistress"
The girl didn't dare to utter any word because that would only increase her punishment. She had thought working here was like a dream come true. But truth be told, she wouldn't wish her enemy to work here. Even though the Pay was higher than expected, the punishment was like a horror film
"I told her to give me food thrice a day. Besides I'm not an animal who needs to eat every three hours. Spare her, she's not at fault here"
"Hey! I've warned you not to interfere in my business" he gave her a warning look making her frown. What kind of President was he? Punishing his people for the slightest mistake.
Tears were beginning to flow from the maid's eyes as she wondered what kind of punishment that would be given to her. She opened her mouth to speak but couldn't say anything.
He made a quick phone call and in less than two minutes, two soldiers came inside.
"Take her to the cell and lock her up for this night. She should clear the open field tomorrow"
They took her out of the room. He changed his expression as if he didn't do anything. Kim looked away in disgust.
She focused her gaze on the film she was watching. She thought of her next plan of escaping. No! She can't escape now. She would need to reach her friends first to ask if they're out of the cell before planning her escape.
With the calm air blowing against her, she started to doze off. Slowly, her eyes closed and she was drawn into Dreamland.
In her dream, she saw her parents but she couldn't see their faces. They were back facing her.
Without saying a word, they began to walk away from her. She ran after them not wanting them to leave again. Just when she thought she was walking to her parents, she saw Alexander.
He pulled her into a tight hug before whispering into her ears, "My troublesome mistress"
His face was beaming with a smile as he felt her cold body around her.
Alexander who had been watching her, smiled when he saw her sleep. He stood up and sat close to her patting her head.
"My troublesome mistress"
She looked calm and peaceful, unlike the woman he first met when they were overthrowing him. She was fierce and cold back then. Her lips slightly parted as she said some words.
"Please don't go," she said as if she was about to lose something precious to her.
He planted a kiss on her head and stood up to go but she held him tight.
"Don't leave me please"
Alexander smiled to himself. Was she dreaming about him? Seems like there was a human blanket for him.
"I'm not going anywhere" he pulled the blanket over him and slept close to her with his head on her chest.
