Aluna POV

"Don't worry she's going to be ok,"
"she's is going to have some bruises from where the taser touched her skin,"
"but it will go away in a week."
The doctor said to Theo completely ignoring the fact the Theo tied me up and tased me.

I sat leaning on the headboard of the bed watching
as Theo gave the doctor a pile of money in his hands he packed his stuff with a huge grin on his face leaving the room.

"I guess money turns everyone into puppets."
I said making Theo turned his attention to me,
I quickly looked down not wanting to look at him in the eyes.

"Aluna I'm...."

"No Theo, don't say it, you are not sorry."
I said to him as a tear ran down my face.

"You did this yourself Aluna."
"if you didn't disobey me, none of this wouldn't of happened."
He said taking a step forward touching my shoulder.
Making me flinch instantly.

"Actually I am not sorry for hurting you."
"You deserved it and the next time disobey me I'll do more worst to you."
He said taking a step back.

"I'll call the restaurant and informing them you won't be in work for a few days."
He said before walking out the room closing the door.
I let out a sigh of relief leaning back on the bed.
I have never been so scared in my life.
I looked out the window watching as the sun began to raise sneaking its way trough the thick rain clouds.
The beam off the sun sneak into the room hitting my freshly bruised skin.
I had two small bruise mark on my upper thigh from the taser, but it wasn't as bad compare to the one Theo left with his hands.
When he squeezed my upper left thigh.
I could clearly she hid hand printed on my skin.
I'm ashamed to believe that I let my body be bruised by the hands off a man,
I don't know what I have done in my life to be put in this position that I am in now.
But then it hit me, god is punishing me for my parents death.
My rebellious behavior caused their life to be taken away from them and I'm being punished for it.

I got up walking to the bathroom getting in the shower turning on the water.
I grabbed my scrub and started rubbing it on my leg where his hand print was,
my mind telling me if I rub hard enough the bruise will go away, but it didn't it just looked even worse.
I gave up turning off the shower getting out
changing my clothes, getting into bed.
I promise myself if Theo touches me one more time I'm gonna kill him and I don't care if I end up in prison or die doing it.
Anything would be better than living the rest off my life here in this house with him.

Ryan POV

"Good work today."
Derek my coach said as took a sip off water.

"Oh by the way I'm sorry to hear about your old trainer Joe."
He said making me look at him confused.

"What happened to Joe?"
I asked with a worried look on my face because even though Joe and I parted ways I still care for him, he played a big role in my career as my past coach.

"I just got word that he is in the hospital."
Dereck said.

"Thanks for letting me know Dereck."
I said walking to my bag grabbing my phone.
I called Joe's number hoping a family member would have his phone and give me some more info but then it hit me, Joe has no family,
it's just him and Aluna.
After thinking a bit I called Sadie, Aluna ex best friend,
She lives not far from Joe probably she knows something.

Phone call

"Hello."

"Hey Sadie it's Ryan,"

"Ryan as in Aluna's Ryan?"
She said sounding unsure.

"Yes, Aluna's Ryan."
I said.

"I'm calling because I heard a rumor that Joe is in the hospital?"

"Yes it's true I heard there was a break in at his home, while he was trying to fight off the bugler he got a heart attack."
"One off the neighbors heard the commotion and called the cops, when they got there he was laying on the ground unconscious they rushed him to the hospital."
"I tried to visit him a few times but they said only family members are allowed,"
"I explained to them that he has no family but they still wouldn't allow me to see him."
"I tried calling Aluna and she wouldn't answer."
"Please Ryan, is there any way you can get to Aluna.
"Joe has no family other than her."

"No there is no way, I have tried calling and messaging her over a thousand times and she never responds."
I said taking a deep breath.

"Well okay I'll try go see him today hopefully they will let me in."
She said.

"Okay keep me updated."
I said before hanging up.

I through the phone back in my bag letting out a sigh of frustration.

"A penny for your thoughts."
Dereck said taking a seat next to me.

"I'm just worried about Joe that's all."
"He has no one."
I said.

"Ok, I'm going to give you a week break from camp,"
"Go to LA and see your old coach."
Dereck said.

"Really?"
God thanks Dereck I said giving him a hug.

"but I have some rules,"
"No one should know your their, Haney team is already questioning that you're not serious about this fight and leaving camp three weeks before the fight is going to prove them right,"
"so not posting on social media and no going out while in LA."
"Just try to be as discrete as possible while there."

"Ok I understand, thank you Dereck."
I said getting up.

"No problem Ryan."
"You're a good kid."
He said pating me on the shoulder.

I grabbed my bag heading out the gym, I took my phone calling my assistant asking her to book the first flight available in the morning.
