The CEO's Painted Skin

When Catherine opened her eyes, she was no longer in the house made of wood, instead, she was inside a room made of concrete walls and mirrors. She panicked when she realized that her baby and Dana was no longer by her side, they were gone! They had been taken away while she was asleep... or she was drugged because she has no awareness of everything.

This is too painful!

This is too frightening and nerve-wracking!

This is too harrowing!

Now that she lost everything, it's about time to try to escape!

From now on she will devote her time thinking of a way to escape this place.

She roamed her eyes around the room, taking note of her surroundings. It's a spacious room, with its own small fridge, a dresser with mirror, a closet, a chair, a bedside table and she was currently lying in a queen-size bed. The bedsheet, pillows, and blankets were freshly laundered based on their rose petal smell.. The entire floor of the room was covered with a magnificent brown colored Persian carpet. On the left corner of the room, there is a 25 inches flat-screen TV.

She gets up from the bed and sauntered towards the dresser, she saw beauty products such as lipstick, eyeliner, make up kit, perfume, lotion, cotton buds, tissue, alcohol, and other personal grooming product.

She walked to the other door and opened it, she looked inside, it's a bathroom.

Then her eyes were drawn to the bedroom door, when she tried to open it, it won't budge, it's probably locked from the outside... no matter how hard she tried to open it with her hands it simply won't open, as expected she was being held prisoner inside. She stopped wasting her strength on something that would only drain her energy. She will save her strength to attack the first person that will come through that door.

She tried to find a weapon or any blunt object that she can use to defend herself. Sadly she can't find any, if only she can use the lipstick or the alcohol bottle to kill someone then she might have a uses for them.

She went to the closet and see several women's dresses, there were sexy clothes and lingerie, bra and underwear in the closet.

She had a feeling that a man will come soon, and she knew what it means. It finally dawned on her that she was abducted for this specific purpose. She shut off the closet's door and walked towards the small fridge and opened it... inside... there were apples, oranges, refreshing drinks, purified bottled water, and chocolates, it's a well-stocked fridge.

Suddenly her stomach rumbled, she's getting hungry. How many meals she had missed? Since there was no wall clock and no calendar in the room, she won't be able to identify what time is it now, the room has no window either.

She grabs one apple, took a big bite from it and finished one in just a few minutes then she took another one, she picked up five chocolate, bottled water and went back to the bed, she placed them on the bedside table. If she plans to escape she needs to be physically fit, she needs to eat everything and feed her body with energy-giving foods. She needs an alert mind and body so that she will be ready to escape anytime.

As long the door to the room opens, she will charge on anyone that walks in the door, kicking and pushing on that person and run as fast as she can away from the place. It looks so easy to do in her mind, she needs to do it! No hesitation and no fear this time! She will charge forward to regain back her freedom. This time she's ready to die trying to free herself from captivity.

While she was inspecting the room, she saw a small door near the fridge, it looks like a rectangle box sort of, there's a word sticker that says 'Food' ... she opened the door and behold there's indeed a cooked food in there arranged neatly in a food tray, such as rice, pork with sticky tomato sauce, fried fish, beef stew and two slices of chocolate moist cake.

She immediately grabs the food tray with both hands and put it in the bed, she went to the bathroom and washes her hands before eating. While she was chewing the foods in her mouth, she noticed that it tasted good, so yummy that only a chef cook could have prepared it, the foods were delicious better than her cooking.

The slice of chocolate cake was the last thing that melted in her mouth, it tasted amazing, so moist... so sweet and heavenly to her taste buds. It's been a long time since she had last eaten a mouth-watering cake, she would like to have more slice of cake but there's no one to ask.

Due to her hunger, she devoured everything, nothing was left in the platter, she smiled in amusement. From now on she will eat everything they give her so that she will have energy and strength to escape once the door will suddenly open.

Done eating she returned the tray and the dishes in the food tray and put it back in the food box. So... this is how they will feed her, they will place the food in that small wooden box attached on the wall. Ah, she got an idea! She will wait for the right timing when they will start putting foods in the box so that she will have the chance to see who is putting foods in there.

Since there's nothing to do inside. She wanted to take a bath, the bathroom has some nice bathtub, she will soak in that enticing marble tub. She went to the closet to find something decent to wear. She found a pair of black cotton shorts and a tank top, then there's also underwear and bra in there, she took one each. Then she also grabs one clean bathrobe from the lower drawer and went to the bathroom.

When she was already inside the bathroom, she filled the bathtub with water and poured a good amount of lavender-scented body wash and luxuriated in the tub for fifteen minutes soaping her entire body. Ten minutes later, she gets out of the tub and took a shower to wash away the soapy texture of her body. Then she shampooed and applied conditioner on her hair.
