When Kim opened her eyes, she felt something heavy on top of her. She raised her head and saw Alexander. His head was on top of her.
She pushed him off her body with full force causing him to wake up.
"Ouch!"
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
He stood upright. "This is my house and I have the rights to be anywhere I want to"
"So shameless of you"
"Get ready we're going out" he said.
"To do what?"
"The world needs to know of your presence"
"Meaning?"
"You'll be announced today as the first lady of this country"
"I'm not interested. I don't need attention" she blurted out.
"Stop testing my patience. Get ready we're leaving after the doctor comes to check up on you"
The door opened and the doctor came in. He examined her and smiled upon seeing she was fine now. He closed his box and left the house.
Kim hesitantly stood up and walked to the bathroom to shower. As she came out wearing a white robe, she saw that he was done already. So fast.
"Come here" he said. "I selected one of the most classic and expensive dress in this country for you to wear"
"You don't chose what I would wear" she frowned.
"You're becoming more stubborn every day. Come here, unless you want to push me to do something bad"
She frowned before walking to him. He picked the red gown from the bed and look back at her.
"Remove your robe and wear this"
Just because he's the President doesn't mean he would order her around.
She took the dress forcefully from him before turning to the bathroom. She pulled the robe and wore the dress gently.
Coming out of the bathroom, a small smile crept into his lips seeing how the dress looks on her.
"Red suits you more. I will instruct the stylist to bring more red clothes for you. I need you to look more attractive everyday"
Kim didn't say any word. She sat down on the bed looking at nowhere.
"I would have bought you a phone but I think you will run away if I do. I still don't trust you"
Suddenly the door opened and two girls dressed in same uniform walked inside. They bowed their head at Alexander before walking to Kim.
"Sit down there. They'll need to style your hair" he said.
Kim stood up and sat down close to the mirror and watched as the girls styled her hair and did her makeup. Once they were done, she looked at herself in the mirror. The girls had turned her into different person.
She followed him out of the room to the dining room and sat down opposite him making sure not to glance at him.
"What is it with the distance?" he asked.
"I am alright here"
"No, sit closer. Stand up!" he ordered.
"Sit here" he pointed to the chair next to him. Taking five steps, she sat down next to him. She just had to act cool so he won't suspect suspect anything. When the time comes, she would escape.
Once they were done eating, she followed him outside. There were more than ten men outside. All dressed like an expensive business men.
"Mr. President who is she?" one of them asked pointing towards Kim.
"My mistress" he said swiftly as they led the way outside.
A cheuffeur standing close to about five cars opened the door for the President and Kim to get inside. Getting inside, she sat far from him looking through the window. She watched the beautiful street, admiring them. The calm air slammed against her making her feel like sleeping.
"You should try to be more subtle instead of sitting far away from me" Alexander spoke up. He tilted his head to see Kim's body pressing tight against the door as if wishing for it to open and she would escape.
When Kim didn't reply, he turned to see her. He noticed that she had fallen asleep already. Not wanting to disturb her, he kept quiet during the drive.
When the car pulled over, he gently touched her. At the slightest touch, she opened her eyes.
"Sleeping beauty. Come down" he said. Kim first stepped out of the car before Alexander came down. A huge building stood right in front of her. Immediately the reporters spotted them, they came closer but the soldiers stopped them from going close to the President. They were all surprised at the mysterious girl the President was holding.
He held her hand as they walked inside the huge building. She trailed behind him as she looked around studying the environment.
Getting inside, she marveled at how beautiful the inside was. They were escorted into a large room where there were lots of reporters. She sat down close to the men they came with while he walked on stage. Adjusting himself, he said.
"Fellow citizens of Country Z, the past twelve months has been a difficult periods in the history of Country Z. Our original priorities for this year is to continue stabilizing our economy following the deep recession."
"I have directed the minister of finance, budget and national planning, health education and science and technology to work with the citizens of Country Z and International pharmaceutical companies and research organizations to enhance the people's domestic pharmaceutical capacity."
"Lastly I would also like to introduce the new first lady of Country Z" Alexander stretched his hand out for Kim. She held his hand as she climbed up stage with a smiling face.
The first thing that greeted Kim as she climbed the stage was the flashes of cameras.
"We shall continue to serve the country; listen to all and protect our democracy and country."
And with that, they emerged down the stairs and walked outside. Reporters flickered their cameras light trying all means to speak with the President.
One of the reporters secretly sent the pictures and videos of Alexander and Kim to Olivia. She was out of the country to run few things.
