“General, the maid refuses to talk!” Brandon reports to me.
Currently I’m in the balcony of my study, looking towards the garden.
“Keep torturing her, she’ll speak”
“Yes, sir”
He turns to leave but I stopped him.
“Tell the kitchen staffs, all the food items should be replaced before dinner!”
“Yes, sir!”
I waved him off and he leaves.
It’s a good weather today, maybe I should take a walk in the garden.

I fall on my new bed and breath out heavily.
I’m finally done unpacking my luggage, it’s all I’ve been doing all morning and finally it’s done.
Soon my phone starts beeping. I reach for it and check the caller, a long, loud gasp escapes my lips.
Brittany!!
I’m done, I’m done!
I press the answer button and bring it closer to my ear.
“Hey, Britt?”
“Don’t hey, Britt me!”
I quickly move the phone a little away from my ear, else her loud voice would deaf my ear.
“I told you to call me when you arrive, I said it many times, call me when you get there but what did you do?.
You didn’t call me, it’s noon already, Rora! I thought they found out you are a fake and did something to you! Why are you keeping silent,,,, say something! At least say you are sorry,,,,, ”
“Britt!” I called her back, cutting her off.
“What?!”
“You haven’t given me a chance to say something”
She huffed.
“Fine, say something”
I roll my eyes, she’s such a drama queen.
Oops! I’m the biggest drama queen!
“Ok, I didn’t forget to call you on purpose. Something bad happened when I got here,,,,, ”
“Something bad happened? Oh my God! Rora, are you ok? I knew it’s gonna get ugly, I shouldn’t have let you leave,,,,, ”
I roll my eyes again.
“Calm down, Britt!”
“Calm down? You said something bad happened and you expect me to stay calm?”
“You didn’t even asked what happened!”.
“Ok, ok! What happened?”
I sigh.
“Please don’t panic, but the General’s fiancée is dead”
She gasped loudly.
“The General’s fiancée is dead?!”
I nod, but remember she can’t see me.
“Yes”
“Does it have anything to do with you?!”
“Kinda,,,,,,”
“Kinda?! This is bad,,,,, you have to leave that place right now, you must leave ASAP!”
“No, I won’t. The General has given me a chance to prove my innocence”
“How?”
“I’m investigating the case, I will be fine”
“Really?!”
“Yeah,,,,,”
I hear her sigh.
“Thank God! I wouldn’t forgive myself if something happens to you,,,,, ”
“I’m fine, Britt”
“Ok, gotta go, I’ll call you tomorrow,,,,, no, you call me tomorrow!”
“Ok!”
I hang up and toss my phone on the table.
I can finally take a nap.

At night…..
I stand by the back gate, waiting for our spy. Soon, I see her rushing towards me, watching her back as she comes.
“Here!” I hand her the bottle of poison.
She frowns in confusion.
“Boss wants you to poison Miss Macfarlane’s maid before she confesses everything”
“Ok”
“Not just ok, do it right away or you’ll be exposed too”
She nods and rushes off.

I walk towards the dungeon, I spots four guards standing at the entrance.
I already practice how to distract them. I ran panicky towards them, I use a handkerchief to cover half my face and start coughing.
“Guards, guards!”
“What?” One of the guards asked.
“The gen,,,, general’s mansion is on fire,,,,go”
“What?! Fire? How come?” Another guard asked.
“We don’t know where the fire came from,,,,, it’s fierce,,,,,the chief guards demand all guards to go help put off the fire!”
They nod.
“Let’s go, let’s go” then they runs out.
I smirk. Fools, they fell for that lame trick.
I take out my extra key and unlock the door and steps into Miss Macfarlane’s maid’s cell.
My boss is so wise, he has key to any place in this mansion.
“Are you here to rescue me?” The maid ask the moment she saw me.
I drop the bottle of poison in front of her.
“What is this?” She ask.
“Boss said, either you drink the poison willing and he’ll keep your family out of this,,,,,or you cause him the trouble of coming here to kill you himself,,,,then none of your family members will be spared!” I pass on boss’s message to her.
“What?! T-that wasn’t part of our deal!”
“I’m just a messenger, the choice is yours to make!”
I didn’t waste anytime, I ran out immediately before the guards would come back.

“Phoebe! Phoebe!!”
The little girl didn’t stop, she simply turn away from me and start running.
I chased after her.
“Phoebe, wait! Don’t run! Wait!”
She doesn’t stop, rather she increases her pace, running faster and faster with each step.
Finally, she stops running and turns to me. Tears stains on her face, her eyes red, very red.
She shakes her head.
“Liar,,, they are dead,,,, you killed them,,,,”
I shake my head.
“No,,, I didn’t,,, I didn’t kill anyone,, no,, I didn’t”
“You killed them,,, they are dead,,,, murderer,,, murderer,,,, murderer!”
Then she falls, I rush forward and reach out but it was too late,,,, she already fell.
“Phoebe,,,, I didn’t kill them,,,, it wasn’t me,,,, it wasn’t,,,,”

I sit up and breath heavily, I reach for a glass of water. I take a few gulps and keeps it back.
I glanced at the wall clock, it’s just 11:15pm.
I sigh frustratingly.
The door open and Brandon walks in.
“General, you are awake”
I nod with a frown.
“General, it’s still too early, I’d advise you go back to sleep”
“No!”
“But you only slept for 25minutes or less”
“That’s enough sleep for me!”
We stayed in silence, me pondering on my nightmare. And Brandon, well I don’t know, he seems to be in deep thoughts.
Then he speaks.
“I have a suggestion, General”
“What?!”
“Doctor Aurora, was able to get you to sleep for three hours this afternoon”
I furrow my brows.
“So?!”
“Hm,,,, what if I get her here and,,,,”
“No!!”
“Maybe she can also help this time”
“No!!”
There’s no way I’m letting that stupid doctor into my room, she might clumsily break something.
“General,,,,”
“I. Said. No!! Get out!”
“Yes, sir!”
He turns and start walking extremely slowly, I narrowed my eyes and grind my teeth against each other in irritation.
I didn’t fall asleep because of her this afternoon, maybe I’m starting to overcome my fears.
But what if I fell asleep because of her,,,,, maybe I should do an experiment tonight.
“Wait!” I said.
He stops abruptly and turns around quickly, a smile on his face.
I eyed him.
“Yes, General”
“Calm her in!”
“Yes!”
He leaves. I’ll prove him wrong,,,, I didn’t fall asleep because of her.

A loud bang on my door woke me up from my sweet slumber. I got off my bed with a tired and sleepy groan.
I walk slowly towards the door, I open the door and come face to face with Brandon.
I quickly sober up.
“Brandon?” I called surprised.
Why is he here?.
“Doctor, General requests your presence!”
I point at myself.
“General wants to see me?”
“Yes!”
I frown.
“Why?”
“You’ll know when you get there!”
Why would the General wants to see me, it’s so late in the night.
What does he want?
“Fine, I’ll be there!”
“Do you know the way to his room?”
“No?”
“Then you’d better come with me”
I grunt in reply. I lock my door and went with him.

“She is here, General” Brandon reports.
The General nods and wave Brandon off.
When Brandon is gone, the General stands up and starts removing his robe.
I quickly close my eyes and turn away from him.
Is this why he called me? Did he think I’m those kind of girls?.
“W-what,,, are you doing, General?” I stutter.
“Taking off my robe!” He states.
“D-don’t,,, I’m not t-that,, kinda girl”
The General didn’t say a word for a few seconds.
“Turn around!” He commands.
I shake my head.
“I said turn around!” He growled out.
I quickly turn around but I still kept my eyes shut.
“What kind of girls are you talking about? Aren’t you a doctor?!”
I nod.
“Then open your eyes!”
I gulp and open my eyes.
He lays on his bed, lying on his back he turns to me.
“Come over here!”
What?!
“O,,,, over there?”
“Are you deaf?”
“N-no”
“Then stop making me repeat my words,,,, come here!”
I take slow steps towards him.
“W-why?”
“Give me a massage!!”
I halt.
“Massage?”
He glares at me.
“Just massage? Nothing else?”
“What were you expecting?”
My cheeks flame up in embarrassment,,,, I guess I shouldn’t have let my mind got into the gutter.
“Get into work!” He commands.
“Oh!”
I move closer to him and sit on a low stool next to his bed, then my skilled fingers start working.
After few minutes, I see his eyes closing and I smile.
“Don’t stop even after I fall asleep!”
I paused.
“You want me to do this till dawn?!”
“Yes! Got a problem with it?!”
“Yes! I can’t stay up all night just to give you a massage while you are enjoying your sleep!”
“Well, you can stop and I’ll tell the mayor you poisoned his niece!”
“What?! I didn’t poison her!”
“The choice is yours”
He’s blackmailing me,,,, he should thank his stars I came into his mansion on a mission in the first place.
Or else, I wouldn’t fall into his trap,,,,, I’ll just endure this until I complete my mission,,, then I’ll kick his overpompous ass before I leave his mansion.
I chuckle sarcastically.
“Don’t worry, General, I will massage you”
I resume my work.
Few minutes later,,,, I hear soft snores.

“General, General, General”
My eyes snap open and I quickly sit up, my hand reaches for my gun under my bed.
But I pause when I see Brandon rushes in.
“What?!” I growled angrily.
He just woke me up from my nightmare free sleep.
“Something bad has happened!”
“What?”
“It’s best you see it yourself!”
I nod.
“Pass me my robe”
He passes me my robe, I wore it and made to leave but something pulls me back.
I frown and look down.
It’s that stupid female doctor, she grabs my right leg in a tight grip, but her head rests on my bed.
My frown deepens when I see her drooling on my sheets.
“General, it seems like my suggestion worked”
I unconsciously glance at my wall clock.
It’s morning already, 7;58am.
“You slept soundly all through the night, she did a great job”
“She didn’t do any great job!!”
“What do you mean, General?”
“I told this imp to continue massaging me after I fall asleep and not to stop,,,, but she did!!”
Brandon chuckles.
“I guess she was tired and did know when she slept off”
I glared at him and he shuts up immediately.
I kick her off my leg and she lands on her butts,,, she opens her eyes and glares at me.
I can feel flames coming out of her eyes.
“Why did you kick me off like that, couldn’t you be a gentleman and wake me up like normal people do?!” She said sassily.
I stare at her in great shock but I didn’t show it.
She’s the only one that has got the guts to speak to me in such manner. In fact I don’t spare people that speaks to me in this manner that she does.
Why is she so different?
Why do I always let her have her way?
Why am I so lenient with her?
I watch as she marches my glare with hers,,,, she doesn’t seem to fear me at all.
My gaze zeroed on the trail of drool on her right cheek, then I look at the wet spot on my sheets.
“Remove these sheets and wash them,,,, then replace them with new ones!”
She frowns.
“No can do! I’m not your maid or laundry woman!”
“You don’t have a, you’ve got your drool all over it,, of course you have to wash it!”
She turns her gaze to the sheets and smile nervously, her cheeks suddenly turn pink and she avoid my eyes.
“I,,,, I will wash them” she said and starts removing them.
“Don’t bring them back to my room, give it to one of the maids or throw it away”
She paused.
“Then what’s the use of washing them?!”
“It’s your punishment for falling asleep while massaging me”
I turn to Brandon.
“Let’s go!”
“Yes, sir” then we head out.
