After a week I was finally let out of the hospital room. Pierson walked me back to Kings room.
"I don't know what happened but I'm happy you are ok."
"Thanks." I said lowly.
"You know I may not be the best person but I do care for you like a sister in this strange situation you're in. I want to let you know you can always talk to me about anything you feel or think. You know that right?"
I barely smiled up at him. "I know tha.."
"Pierson you're dismissed." King cut in while grabbing my arm.
As we walked in Kings room he shut the door. I found interest in the floor. I couldn't look at him after what happened.
"You can go take a shower but you will leave the door open. I do not trust you alone anymore."
I said nothing as I headed towards the bathroom. He grabbed my arm stopping me.
"Look at me." he commanded.
I kept my eyes on the floor.
"I will not say it again." he growled making me shiver in fear.
Yet I still couldn't force my head to do as he asked. He pulled my hair to make me look up. I closed my eyes tight.
"You will follow my orders when I give them! Now open your damn eyes and look at me."
I could not do that either which caused him to pull my hair harder earning a whimper come from my lips.
"Do you understand me Mia?"
I said nothing.
"Answer me!" he shouted.
Still no words would come from my mouth. A second later I'm on the ground with a stinging pain on my cheek.
"You are so disobedient! From now on you keep your eyes down! You are not to speak a single word to anyone. If you do..." he leaned down near my face. " well lets just say you will wish you were able to kill yourself the first time but I will not let you."
He stepped away from me. "Now go shower."

King was not lying when he said he did not trust me. He was with me all the time. Whether he had to go to a meeting or to a club for businesses and fun he drug me with him. I would wear what he wanted, eat what he wanted me to eat, and sit where he wanted me which was either right beside him or on his lap. If I had to use the restroom while we were out he made sure to have a female guard with us at all times to escort me and watch me while I used it.

Here we are at yet another meeting at another club. People are dancing below us as we are sitting up in the VIP section. Around us are female waiters who are serving drinks and passing drugs between the men. I'm sitting here against King bored. I try to block out everything around me because it is none of my business. After awhile I gently tug on Kings sleeve near his hand. He looks down at me for a second before he knows what I want. It's the only time I actually touch him on my own.
"Anna, mostra Mia am bagno." King says then nods to me to let me know I can get up. (Anna, show Mia to the restroom.)
I follow the female guard to the restroom, do my business, wash my hands, and then follow her back to King. When walking back in I was waiting for one of the waiters to move so I could go sit beside King. I forgot and looked up to King. He slowly looked me from my feet up to my face and when our eyes met his lip lifted into half a smirk. I quickly looked down. The waiter moved and I approached King.
