The bed dipped towards the end of the bed waking me. He was now up and about - I turned towards the direction of the clock and saw it was only 3:23 am. Why on earth was this devil up so goddamn early?!

I had to piss extremely bad but he was taking the longest time to hurry up with whatever he was doing. I crossed my legs together, rocking myself back and forth trying not to release all over the bed.

The door opened "Why are y-" I cut him off when I ran into the bathroom slamming the door behind me. Once I finished I came back out. To a dangerous sight. He was back to his old self again... delightful.

"Get dressed, we are leaving."

I nodded and caught the clothes he threw at me. I went back into the bathroom to get dressed, fix up my hair, and brush my teeth. "So, about last night"

He stalked slowly up to me "What about last night? Last time I checked your pathetic ass laid down on the floor like the dog you are. Don't get familiar, pet"

I bit my tongue to stop myself from doing anything rash. He grabbed my face roughly examining me before he swiped his hand off. His fingertips felt like glass cutting me. It felt like my body was a system and it was overloaded with so many thoughts and actions I could act on. It was best to leave it alone, after all, there was no point in starting something.

He looked so offended once I dared to mention what happened last night and so I took a mental note not to bring it up again... unless of course, I need to use it for... reasons. 

"Ace will come to get you dressed for the event." He went towards the door but he stopped once his hand touched the knob. "Behave for today," And with that, he left me alone in the room clueless as if to that last statement has a double meaning or not.

The biggest question that swam through my mind was why did I get dressed if I just going to have to put on something more or different. Lucius was a confusing and dangerous man. His actions were different almost every hour making him unpredictable. I couldn't figure out what his plan was and why I was still around.

It didn't take long for Ace to come. But Misha stood there on the right side of him. Misha, I stood wary of. He didn't seem all that stable nor all that simple-minded.

"Azami, nice to see you're still alive and breathing. Although it's not very fun to see you alive. I expected to see you six feet under but hey it's not my call,"

Geez, thanks. I decided to ignore him because I already knew Misha was about to say something more.

"I'll lead you to your dress. Follow me." Ace instructed. I gave a quick nod and followed him to the stylish room I didn't even have knowledge of. It shocked me, to say the least.

"Your dress is right there. Connor will assist you with putting it on and he'll do your hair,"

Purple hair caught my attention right away. "Ah, you must be Azami! Lucius was right - you are quite curvy,"

Suddenly I felt fat, my hands subconsciously tried to cover my body from plain sight. "So, Which dress is mine?"

He points to a beautiful royal blue dress. "And I didn't mean you were fat. You are curvy in all the right places,"

A small smiled appeared on my face from embarrassment from his description as well as happiness from his compliment. "Thank you,"

A dress felt soothing against my fingertips. It was expensive that's for sure. I didn't know for sure if I would be able to make it wherever we were going. And the heels I saw staring back at me in the corner made me gulp. I've worn flats but heels? I was lucky if I could even stand in them without falling. And my ankle burned just imagining myself in them.
