Two Can Play That Game

Chapter Fourty-Two

Kivana Stewart

I gasp for air as I sat up, I held my chest as my breath began to slow down...I felt someone squeeze my hand causing me to flinch and pull back. I closed my eyes and pulled my knees to my chest as I began to rock back and fourth.

"Ms.Stewart."

I opened my eyes before looking at the man, I backed away and shook my head as he reached out for me.

"No." I mumbled.

"Ki, you're safe now. You're in the hospital." Kivan said.

I shook my head as I placed my hands on my ears.

"Darling, calm down." Simon said.

"NO! you're not real...none of this is real....LEAVE ME ALONE!" I yelled.

Multiple came into the room before pinning me down, I kicked, fought, and screamed but that didn't stop them. I felt a sting in my arm before I slowly began to feel sleepy.

Kivan Stewart

I shook my head and left out of the hospital room before sitting down, I placed my head in my hands and cried...the fear in her eyes. The scream...she was still scared.

"It's going to take time." Simon said sitting beside me.

I sniffed and wiped my eyes.

"I know." I mumbled.

"We just have to be patient, we still don't know everything she endured." He mumbled.

"The way she looked at me...like I was going to harm her...me? I would never ever hurt her." I cried.

Simon sighed before embracing me in a hug.

After a few hours Kivana was finally up, Simon and I decided to stay out of the room until the doctor gave us the clear.

Kivana Stewart

I pulled my knees to my chest as the doctor continued explaining my injuries and treatment, I heard her but my mind was else where.

"Are you listening Ms.Stewart?" She asked.

I looked at her and nodded.

"Ok, you'll be able to return home tomorrow. Since your test came back good, do you have someone you can call?" She asked.

I shook my head, I didn't want to see anyone...I felt disgusting.

"There are two young men-"

"No men." I said.

"It's your brother and boyfriend." She said.

"No men." I mumbled.

She slowly nodded before leaving, I looked out the window as tears formed in my eyes. I had many questions...how did I get here? Where is Byung? and what the fuck happened? I stood up going to the medical desk.

I grabbed a handful of needles before returning to the bed, I clinched them for dear life as I began to fall asleep.

The Next Day

I signed my discharge papers before going to the pharmacy getting the load of medicine I was prescribed. I pulled my hoodies over my head and tied my pants tighter, I kept my head down as I walked out of the hospital.

"Darling."

I stopped not daring to turn, I wasn't ready...wasn't ready to face him.

"Where are you going to go?" He asked.

I didn't think about that...I wasn't comfortable riding in a car with him though, not right now.

"I understand how you're feeling." He said.

I turned to face him, I looked at the space between us causing him to back further away.

"I'm sorry if I was too close." He said.

He stuffed his hands in his pocket causing me to grip the needles in my pocket tighter.

"I understand you don't have anywhere to go, that you're comfortable with so you can have my penthouse and car." He said dropping the keys on the ground.

I looked at him as he held my gaze.

"The fridge is stocked, once you get there you can change the code and everything. Stay as long as you need." He said.

I watched as he backed far away enough for me to feel comfortable grabbing the keys, I looked at him before quickly walking to the hospital parking lot. I got into the car and checked the back seat before pulling off, I noticed the console directing me to his penthouse.

I parked and took a deep breath before getting out of the car, I walked into the building to see a woman at the desk.

"Hi Ms.Stewart." She smiled.

"How do you know my name?" I asked.

"Mr.Dominic informed me of your...situation." She said giving me soft eyes.

I nodded before walking toward her.

"What happened to the man who use to work here?" I asked.

"He was transferred to another building, per request of Mr.Dominic." She said.

I nodded before giving her a new code, she passed me the key before I walked away. I stepped onto the elevator and let out a breath as I felt like I could breath again, I stepped off of the elevator before dropping my things on the floor.

I went to the kitchen grabbing a knife before patrolling the house, once I checked every corner I was comfortable enough to place it back into its correct spot. I turned off all the lights making the house pitch black, I didn't see any camera reflections...I turned the lights back on before going downstairs.

I flopped on the sofa before turning the tv on.

"Lee Byung was denied bail and will serve his time in prison until the trial is finish, if you don't know Mr.Lee was arrested for numerous charges. Carrying an illegal weapon, kidnapping, rape, and murder...he is facing the death penalty. This is the first time in over a decade that a sentence like this was offered up...right here on WYZT."

I scuffed before turning the tv off, I rubbed my hands through my hair before I stood up. I made my dinner before taking my medication. I ate in silence before I finished up and went to shower.

"Come on Ki." I mumbled hugging myself.

I felt tears swell in my eyes as flashes of Byung hosing me down crowded my mind. I shook my head and quickly turned the shower off, I went to the bedroom and flopped on the bed curling myself into a ball.

I couldn't shower....I didn't want to bathe....hell I didn't even want to look at myself. I was broken and damage trash...just like Byung said.
