Trident Kings

Chapter 30

Diana woke up and looked around, why was she in a hospital? Memories came rushing back and she blinked back tears. "Hey, calm down Little One," Doc Warren said coming into the room. He slipped something into her IV and soon the pain started to go away. "How are you feeling now?"

She nodded and he helped her sit up. "Your throat is going be very sore but thankfully no permanent damage. I don't want you talking for a few days so it can keep healing okay?" She nodded and frowned when she noticed her bosses asleep in the beds next to her but they were injured. "Yes, about that..." Doc cleared his throat, "Something happened while you were unconscious. I need you to just listen before you panic, okay? They are okay, I promise." She nodded and Doc Warren then gave her the details of what happened. She gasped but let him continue. "Like I said, they are okay, mainly just bruises, small cuts, and very exhausted. Henry is extremely exhausted, he's been watching over everyone since you were first brought in. I had to give all of them some sleeping pills, that's why they aren't waking up right now. I promise Little One, they are okay." She nodded and nibbled on her lip. She pointed to the bathroom and he nodded. "I've got a few more rounds to make but I will come check on you once I am done, okay? The hospital is the safest place for all of you to be right now, so don't worry about anything happening." She nodded and he left after watching her head to the bathroom to make sure she was stable on her feet.

Diana stood in front of the mirror and stared at herself. She was so confused. She was scared but also pissed. She didn't want this kind of life, being a target and being in the dark side of her bosses' lifestyle. But at the same time she hadn't felt this alive in a very long time. She was shown the kind of attention and care that she desperately craved but it always seemed to come with consequences. She didn't want to walk on eggshells all the time, worrying if someone that was pissed at her bosses were watching her but she also liked the kind of respect she was getting when she was with them also. She was so torn it was giving her a major headache.

In fact her whole body hurt and for what? She didn't even know why someone would try and poison her, what had she done to deserve this? She hadn't hurt anyone so why was she hurting? She just wanted to go back to when her life was simple and she was the measly personal assistant that didn't know anything about her bosses other than how to run their company. Sure she was in abusive relationship at the time but her life wasn't in danger. Shit, she sighed, that was a huge lie, even before her life was in danger. Too bad she couldn't go back to before she ever became their personal assistant when no one knew who she was. Shit, she didn't want that life either, it was dark and depressing where she was constantly debating whether her life was worth something. She frowned at her reflection, why was it she felt the happiest when she was with her bosses who were constantly putting their lives and hers in constant danger instead of when her life was the least stressful but also the darkest time of her life? She was all kinds of fucked up that was for sure, she thought as she gently touched her throat and winced at the pain that shot down into her chest. Just what was she going to do with her life?

"Motherfucking Hell!"

Jason, John, Gabriel, and Henry jolted awake to Doc Warren's shouting. They jumped up on high alert and started looking around.

"Where the fuck is she?" Doc Warren asked from the bathroom doorway.

"What?" Gabe asked confused.

"Where is she?" Doc Warren asked again. "She isn't in her bed or the bathroom."

"Where could she have gone?" John asked.

"I'll go check the cameras," Henry said as he stormed out of the room and headed to the security room.

"Do you think she was taken?" Jason asked.

"I don't know," John shook his head. "If someone took her why would they pass up the opportunity to kill us while we slept? But why would she leave also? Neither makes any sense."

"She's not on any floor and there's no video of anyone entering our room either besides Doc," Henry stormed back into the room. "There's no video of her leaving either."

They looked at each other in confusion, then where was their Queen?
