The Wife of the King's Pay
Chapter 11 His Chosen Me (Part 2)
The squeaking sound of car tires was heard in front of the gate of Chrysant villa. Dion, the assistant, immediately opened the car door for the King.
Dion knew that the King could no longer wait to catch the girl named Cleantha. His experience accompanied the King for many years, making him memorize every meaning of his boss' expression.
"Sir, is it true that you don't want to meet the other two participants?"
"I changed my mind, Dion. I'll meet the other two girls first. I want to make that liar girl wait in anxiety before she falls into my hands."
"Good, Sir."
"One more, Dion. Please prepare a prenuptial agreement according to my instructions. I will force Cleantha to sign it today."
"Yes, Sir."
Dion escorted the King's steps into the villa.
While in her room, Moza was waiting alone in the uncertainty.
Throughout the morning, she had been groomed by a makeup officer sent by Ms. Siska. She was also required to wear a soft peach-colored dress made of silk. It seems that all special preparations were made to welcome the presence of the great master.
Cleantha and the other two girls were escorted back to the room. They had no chance to talk to each other.
The bridal tub to be pinched, they are not allowed out of the room before being called.
While waiting, Cleantha was made astonished to see her change. Perhaps due to the effects of make up and expensive dresses she wore, she has transformed from ash to princess cinderella.
"What are the standards of the rich so high, that their would-be babysitters should be this way?"
inner Cleantha wondered.
Cleantha put her earlobe on the door. Trying to listen to if there are any signs of King Adhiyaksa's arrival at the villa. But unfortunately there was no sound other than his own breath.
Not yet had he moved away from the door leaf, someone suddenly knocked on the door of his room loudly. Cleantha jumped in shock and almost lost her balance.
"Yes" said Cleantha hurriedly opening the door.
As soon as the door opened, Cleantha was greeted by the sharp gaze of Miss Siska.
"What's wrong, Miss Cleantha?" asked Bu Siska furrowed her brows.
"Nothing, Mom."
"Miss, it is now your turn to be called Lord King. Come with me. Don't make him wait a long time," said Ms. Siska immediately turned her body.
Cleantha's feet raced forward, speeding up her steps so as not to be left far behind by the nimble lady.
They walked down the corridor and stopped in front of the black wooden door.
"Miss, Master is waiting for you. Please knock on the door first, after that go straight inside. The door's not locked."
Without further ado, Miss Siska left Cleantha. He did not even look when Cleantha tried to call him.
"Now what should I do? Should I just knock on the door?"
Cleantha's palm suddenly felt cold and sweaty.
While biting his lower lip, he started knocking on the big door three times.
Silence, no answer. Cleantha knocked again on the door but again no one responded.
Cleantha just remembered Miss Siska's message that she could enter the room after knocking on the door.
With slightly trembling hands, Cleantha grabbed the door handle.
"Grandle."
As Cleantha expected, the door was indeed unlocked from the inside.
Cleantha pushed the heavy door leaf open in half.
Despite the hesitation, Cleantha forced her foot to step.
A well-built man was standing in the room. The man turned his back, facing towards the carved table and the towering bookshelf. It looks like the room is some kind of private library.
"Excuse me, Lord King," said Cleantha.
"Close the door and come closer" the king answered.
The King's voice sounded familiar to Cleantha's ears. Even he felt he had known the figure of the man before.
"Why so long? Quickly approach," said the King impatiently.
"This Lord King was indeed very fierce. I can't make him mad,"
Cleantha lowered her head as she approached her future boss.
Only a few seconds later, the King turned his body to face Cleantha. He squinted his eyes, then lifted the girl's chin to meet her.
Cleantha gasped at the King's unexpected actions. But the surprise did not stop there.
His heart rate seemed to stop, when he realized who the man who was now looking at him was.
As if seeing a ghost, Cleantha's face turned deathly pale. He just realized that the King is a man who used to have an accident due to his carelessness. And the man was now looking at him like a wolf preparing to swallow its prey.
"Tu.an," said Cleantha stammered.
The mysterious smile was on the King's lips. A moment later, he pulled Cleantha docked to his body, then locked the two girls hands behind him.
"Your thought turned out pretty good. You still recognize me, crafty little cat?"
Cleantha tried to avoid the King's face, but the man grabbed her even closer.
Their distance of only a few inches made Cleantha even more frightened.
"You've escaped your responsibility. Leaving me alone in the hospital. But ultimately fate gave me justice. I can catch you here," the King declared triumphantly.
A thread of tears began to flow from the corner of Cleantha's eyes. He did not know what to do but to apologize for his actions. It must be admitted that he had made a grave mistake on the man.
"Sir, I beg you to forgive me."
Instead of feeling sorry for Cleantha's face, the King grabbed her by the shoulder and pressed her body to the table.
"I'm sorry? It's as easy as that you apologize after what you did to me."
"See these wounds. You're the cause! Not to mention the damage to my car. You also dare to deceive me raw. Now I'll never let you go. You have to pay for all your mistakes to me" said the king.
In a pinch like now, Cleantha had no chance at all to run. He could only accept the punishment that would soon be inflicted upon him.
"You remember what offer I gave you back then?" asked the king to bring his face closer.
"I.yes, Sir."
"Then say it so quickly!" force King.
"Sa.yeah must be a second wife and you will pay a hundred million in return. But sorry, I can't fulfill Master's request," Cleantha replied in a raucous voice.
The king laughed for a moment at the reply that came from Cleantha's mouth.
"Do you feel you have the right to object?"
The king again launched his intimidation to render Cleantha helpless.
"Then why did you come to this behavior and enter the competition? Don't you want to get a hundred million?"
"I need a hundred million dollars. But, I'm in a competition to be the nanny of your son. Not a second wife."
The victory sermon was formed at the corner of the King's lips.
"You're a little con man who's easily cheated on me. You think I'm gonna dress you up this pretty just to be a nanny? I'm holding this competition to find a second wife, not a nanny. And you will be my second wife."
The teak that became the big question mark in Cleantha's mind was answered already.
It turns out that this nanny-seeking competition is just the King's wits just to fool the general public. The real purpose of the man was to find a young wife.
"Master, but I'm not fit to be your wife. The other two girls are superior to me" elak Cleantha looked for an excuse.
"Do you think I chose you because you're beautiful or attractive to me? Not at all! I chose you because you are a sinner who deserves to be punished."
"Master, please release me," cried Cleantha trying to free herself from the King's confinement.
"Yell as much as you can, no one will hear it" cried the King.
"Master, just make me a maid in the master's house. I'm willing to work without a salary to make amends," Cleantha pinta tried to negotiate.
"Heh, what a pity. The maids in my house are already very numerous. Right now what I need is a wife not a maid. Or maybe you'd rather be crouching in iron bars? If that's what you want, I'll call the police now" King threatened to lose his temper.
"Ja.ngan, sir. Fine, I am willing to comply with Master's request," Cleantha replied in surrender.
He was afraid that the King would do bad things to him if he continued to argue.
The king drew Cleantha's hand and threw her on the chair.
"Sit down and shut up here. Today we will also get married" said the King coldly.
