Laura was finally awakened, she was trying to stretch her body but her arms hit the wood instead. "Ouch!" A frown appeared on her forehead. "Huh...where am I?"
Her eyes opened up wide, blinking rapidly...as her vision sweeps the area where she was in. She hadn't seen much because there's not much to see anyway, her face was just a few inches from the wood cover. Her shock was great, it took her breath away after discovering that she was locked up inside a chest. It only took her a few seconds to fit the pieces of the puzzle together.
She remembered this chest... it was the one that her father and the servants constructed for her in the basement!
Dang!
Her father got his way and put her inside the chest without her permission, he must have drugged her! Or else... how they will be able to put her inside if she was conscious?
The truth is...unknown to Laura... she awakened inside a room in a big house, located at a 5-hectare land surrounded by towering trees and mountains, far from the neighboring town.
She stays quiet for a moment, trying to hear any movement or sounds outside the chest, she can't hear anything and one thing for sure she was no longer traveling on the road because no movement or sound can give her indication that she was still inside the wagon.
Did she already arrive at her future husband's place?
Maybe...
Because the chest was steady...she must already have arrived in South Pond Town. But why they still locked her up inside the chest? Why not put her in a bed instead? Did Cooper already had seen her face? He didn't like her appearance and plan to send her back home?
Sighing...she tried to find out the lock of the chest...Where is it? She wants to get out! It's becoming hotter inside the chest, she wants to breathe fresh air!
"Hello...somebody there?" she tried calling anyone for help.
When she attempted to push open the chest, it opened up a little on the first try, she used all her strength and pushed it away, it's a bit heavy... but she managed to open the cover of the chest and breathed in relief after seeing the ceiling of the room.
Whew... free at last!
She slowly crawled out of the chest and saw the king size bed. She moved towards it and climbs on the bed and lay her body down, she closed her eyes for a moment, enjoying the comfortable bed.
She opened her eyes...and noticed her dress...she can't remember wearing this dress last night because she was wearing her sleep attire to sleep. Her mother must have changed her clothes while they drugged her.
Where is everybody? Where is Cooper? Why she was dumped in a room and no one bothered to put her in the bed at least? Her eyes landed on the window.
Then she felt uncomfortable down her abdomen, her body urged her to empty her bladder, she needs to pee! Her eyes darted around the room trying to find a toilet!
She saw another closed door inside the room, that must be the bathroom! She sprinted towards it and opened the door hastily, she can no longer hold on! As soon she saw the toilet bowl she lowered her underwear in the speed of lighting and sat on the clean bowl and relieved herself. Ah, she feels good, the discomfort of her abdomen was gone.
She flushed the bowl and washed her hands in the sink. She looked at her face in the mirror. Her hair was a mess. She combs her hair using her fingers, trying to make herself presentable just in case her future husband will enter the room unannounced.
She went back to bed thinking what to do next? Should she just wait here? Or leave the room and find her future husband? Damn, her stomach was already grumbling! She's getting hungry!
Sighing, she got up from the bed and went to the window. She looked at the surrounding areas of the house...oh my...all she can see was endless trees and mountains!
