So, that’s why a woman is fragile?
Do all women suffer like that?
And the smell…
((SEAN))Nazi explained to me why Sena prepared an instant noodle as my lunch that day. Sena said we have a mutual taste. How ambitious was she?She’s obviously suffering with her menstruation, which was a good sign that she wasn’t sexually assaulted when she was kidnapped.
((SENA))My abdomen would hurt even more if I just lie down and notice the pain. I also already took a quick bath with warm water. I really wanted to use the bathtub but thought that there might be a red tide inside if I bleed on the water. Jane and Lea tirelessly took care of me throughout. How much were their salaries? Though I could say I didn’t really need the assistance because I could take care of myself.
Suddenly, my attention went to the paintings and the furniture around me. Even though the paintings there were almost all traditional and ancient, the lighting of the room gave it a modern appeal. Some of Sean's staff that I met on the hallway immediately bowed as courtesy so I also bowed to them. Everything about Sean's mansion was so over the top! I guessed it was a place of mixed race and culture. There’re Japanese, English, and what else were the nationalities there?Cecile also appeared out of nowhere.
( Sena POV's)As Cecile led me to another hallway and I was looking at the wall paintings, I heard the sound of a piano. It was actually my dream to learn how to play at least one musical instrument because I wasn’t an inborn musician. I could only listen to and feel music. Paint brushes and computer mouse were all my hands could handle. Out of all ‘arts’ there is, I could just draw or paint.Cecile talked to the two guards but they shook their heads as they denied us entrance. What a wasted chance. I really wanted to know who was playing the piano.
( Sena's POV)Cecile continued touring me around the mansion. And when we went outside, I was overwhelmed with fascination again. A large fountain was in the heart of a flowering garden. There were Koi fishes in the water and butterflies above the plants. I didn’t know where they came from but they made the place more beautiful. I was walked around until I saw four men in a conversation. They stopped talking when they saw me and bowed. Why were they so formal? I wasn’t even a princess. Did I look like a princess? Duh!
( Sena's POV)Before nightfall, I looked for Sean. I wanted to gossip or try and bully him because it’s too unfair for me to get teased all the time. That’s too unflattering. Cecile said he’s in the study room near the library. I sneaked from Cecile’s watch because I knew how tired they were earlier. I just went to Sean alone.I wanted to interview him about his wealth so in case he dies, I’d inherit everything. I doubted that he’d share his secret to me. That selfish man, if he could tell me how to get rich, I might immediately pay the trillions that I owed him. What’s his secret?
((SENA))I almost never ran out of the word ‘wow’ for that day and hopefully that dress would be my final wow. It was a cocktail dress for my graduation. Cecile prepared it earlier along with three boxes of jewelry as options for what I could pair for that attire. I closed the boxes and thought that my classmates would wonder which pawnshop did I holdup.Suddenly, there
((RHEN))“So, Leon… when are you getting rid of Sena?” It was the first time in ages that I get to talk to Leon again.I was friends with his late wife, or should I say, he liked me
