CHEN
After enjoying the water, it was still not morning so I didn't know when I slept off, inside the bathtub. Not until I started hearing someone call my name with panic, that I opened my eyes and realized that I had slept off in the bathtub.
"You scared me, Chen, "I heard a feminine voice.
I wondered who cared so much about me like that. I'm sure it's not my family and my maid doesn't sound that way.
I looked at the one who called me and I saw that it was the Alpha King's mother. She Was really worried because it showed in her eyes.
"I'm Sorry, I slept off while bathing," I said to her.
I stood up from the water and she used a towel to wrap my body. "How long have you been sleeping in that bathtub?" She asked me.
"Well, the bathtub is more comfortable than the chair I slept on last night," I said in my heart. I wish I could tell the Alpha King's mother but I know that I will be calling more torture upon myself.
"I don't know. I only want to bathe," I replied.
The Alpha King's mother took me to the bed and made me sit down.
"How was your night? Hope he didn't give you any trouble?" She asked with both concern and curiosity.
"My night was the worst I have ever had in my life. I don't wish to repeat it."
That's what I wished I could tell her but I didn't. The coward in me couldn't bring me to tell her. Moreover, I just got married and I don't want me coming into this place to start making families fight each other. It will further prove that I'm not a good idea to them.
"My night was good. Although he didn't talk to me, at least he didn't kill me" I replied with a smile.
I didn't fail to remember that he was planning to kill me. But then that would be the last because today I will move to another room.
She smiled at me. I know she must have thought that I was joking. "I was scared all through the night," she said.
She was using another towel to dry my hair before she brought the hair dryer to dry it. I tried collecting it from her but she wouldn't allow me.
"I wish I had a female daughter to do this with. So from now on just see me as your mother" she said with a smile.
The way she was doing, it showed that she was happy with me but then she has a very bad son. Just wish I'm her real daughter. I smiled at her but said nothing.
I got dressed and the Alpha's mother took me outside for breakfast. I wish to sleep more but what can I do? I don't want them to think of me as a lazy one so I just followed tiredly.
When I got down, I discovered that my family was still there.
"Why come down so late? Do you want them to think we are some lazy ones here?" Jie said firmly.
I ignored Jie because I know who she is. I gesticulated and greeted the Queen and the others seated.
"Don't scold her. She's just too tired from yesterday's tossing" the Alpha King's mother said with a teasing smile.
This made me shy even though her words were not true. I was stored from sleeping in a position.
We sat down to eat and had a discussion or let me say Jie was just asking after the Alpha King. This didn't even bother me. I would have gladly swapped places with her if I was allowed to.
After a while, everyone left except for Jie. She had claimed that she wanted to stay to see if they would take care of me.
"It's just for a month and I'll leave" she had said.
Those that heard her will think that she cared about me but they wouldn't know that all she wanted was to get close to the Alpha King. Well, that didn't disturb me. The man doesn't even like me at all.
"Please where is my room, I'm feeling sleepy?" I whispered to the Alpha King's mother's ear.
She gave me a weak smile.
"You can't have a room to yourself for now. We can't let your sister think we don't care about you and report to your family. Just go to Longwei's room" she said.
This was like me experiencing a horrific thing. I dragged the woman to a corner.
"Don't tell me I'm going to stay in his room till Jie leaves?"
I felt like shouting because I can imagine sleeping on a chair for a month and staying with that angry beast also. It's suicide to me.
"You will have to be my darling," she said calmly.
I shook my head.
" I won't do that. It's torture" I couldn't help but raise my voice.
The woman took my hand and looked at me pitifully.
"I know Longwei wasn't on his best behavior yesterday but I promise you he'll be nicer today," she said softly.
I wish her words were true. I just looked at her with sad looks.
"Come let's get you rested," she said.
We both went back to the room I least thought I would return to. I had thought that yesterday was the last night I would step foot in this room but here I am back again.
I looked at the bed that contained that large man and I sighed. I don't know if I'm signing my suicide myself. I was so reluctant to sleep on the bed. I do not want trouble. I just wanted to sleep.
When I laid down and closed my eyes the Alpha King's mother patted my head and left after she covered me with a quilt.
Immediately she closed the door behind her, I opened my eyes. I was so reluctant to close my eyes again because I don't know when the raging Lion will come for me.
