I don't remember falling asleep but got woken up by a loud horn and bright lights. King and I both slowly sat up before there was a knock.
"Sorry boss the ocean boarder patrol is requesting to come on board. Do you want us to get rid of them?" One of his men asked.
King thought a moment before responding. "No if they going missing it will draw too much attention. They can come on board."
The man left and King turned towards me. "You're going to be a good girl right?" He said smirking while buttoning up his pants.
"Yes sir." I said nervously.
"You know what will happen if you don't right. Those men out there have families to go home to and I'm sure you don't want to face be punished again right!"
"No sir." I said looking down.
"Put a gown on and say nothing when we go up there."
I nodded as I did what he ordered.

"Good evening officers. What can we do for you this lovely night?" King said as he wrapped his arm around my waist and stood behind me before resting his head on my shoulder.
"What are you all doing out here?" One asked looking at us thinking we were a loving couple.
"My wife and I are on our honeymoon. Did we drift into an forbidden zone?"
I internally cringed when he called me his wife.
"What about everyone else here?" Another asked.
"Oh they are friends. We decided to make it a big getaway for our closest friends."
"Oh." The third one said.
Oh no they are believing him. I need to get away from him. I felt my chest tighten. My only chance to escape and I can't take it. I felt my eyes starting to sting.
"Why isn't your wife talking?" One asked looking at me.
I felt a sob coming on and I knew King would punish me so I quickly turned to bury my head in his chest.
"She's been through a lot officers. She's afraid of new men."
"Is that true miss?"
I did nothing but nod into Kings chest resulting in him squeezing me. He looked as consoling me but I knew it was a warning.
When I was calm he released me. All of a sudden a call came over one of the officers radios.
"More officers are on the way." One said.
"Is that really needed officers?" King asked calmly.
"We need all passports of everyone on board. It's just to make sure no one has warrants. You understand don't you?" The officer said as all the officers put their hands on their holsters.
"Yes yes of course we have nothing to hide." King said then nodded at one of his men who went downstairs.
A moment later the man came out holding a stack of passports as more boats with more officers arrived. Officers started piling on as others grabbed passports calling them in to check to see if there were any warrants. As they started coming back as no warrants King leaned down and kissed my shoulder.
"It's almost over. You're doing so good baby girl. Keep it up."
That made me more upset. He knew it was my chance and he knew I was afraid of what he would do to me if I tried anything.
"What about little miss' passport?" The head officer asked looking between King and I making us look at him.
"Well we just got married so it hasn't been fixed yet?"
"We need her name." Another said.
"What's your name miss?" The head officer asked.
"Her name is Annabelle King. Her social is +++++++++." King responded leaving me in shock.
"Birthday?"
"It's ++++++++."
The officer nodded as he called it over the radio. Oh no they are going to believe him! The more he said the more sad I got. The officer looked at me and I looked down as King squeezed me more and ran his hand gently up and down my arm. One of the officers pulled the one watching us around and they started whispering to where we couldn't hear him. Making King tighten his grip on me.
"You better hope they don't take you from me." He whispered angrily in my ear making my breathe hitch.
After a moment the officers turned around with their hands on their guns.
"Miss I need you to step away from your husband, turn around, and put your hands up."
My eyes widen and jaw dropped.
"What?!" King shouted as he quickly stood up in defense.
All of the officers pulled their guns out quickly and we all had guns pointed at us and Kings men.
"Why are you arresting her?!" King demanded.
Two officers grabbed me and quickly turned me around.
"She has an outstanding warrant for her arrest."
"Arrest. Arrest for what?" He asked as they were putting handcuffs on me. I felt one of them slowly rub my scars, of the first time I fought against the ones King used, as he clicked the handcuffs.
"First degree murder." He answered as the two officers turned me around to take me off Kings yacht.
"No." I shouted as I fought against the guards. I can't get charged for something I never done. My name is not Annabelle. I fought to turn to King. "Please don't let them take me! Tell them its a mistake. Please! I'll do anything you say!" I couldn't get lose from the officers.
"Gentlemen, can't we just talk about this?"
"If you want to talk then meet us at the local station shout 5 miles north of here you will see an island. It won't be hard to find." They said before dragging me off and shoving me down on a bench on their speed boats.
"We'll be there shortly." King responded.
We took off fast towards the north then we turned west. I got nervous. One of the officers came near me quickly making me try to scoot back. He quickly put his hands in the air.
"Its ok I won't hurt you miss. I just want to take those cuffs off of you."
I turned my body to the side and let him take them off of me. Then the head officer came over.
"We been officers for years and we know distress when we see it. My man informed me of the scars around your wrist. Do you want to talk about it?"
I shook my head no as I looked down. I felt something drape over me making me jump and flinch back.
"Easy there easy. None of these men will hurt you."
"So now do you want to tell us you're real name?"One said making me look up at him.
" We know you're not a killer so tell us who you are so we can help you."
Oh no if King finds out he's going to think I gave them clues and he's going to hurt me so bad if I stay gone. I started shaking my head no.
"Hey hey calm down."
I have to get back to King before he finds out. The longer I wait the worse it will be for me.
Two officers came closer to me making me stand up. I need King to believe how sorry I am. If I call out he will come take me back but if I scream for him maybe he won't hurt me too bad.
"KING! KING! KING!" I screamed.
"Stop her!"
"KING! HELP ME!" I screamed before I was forced down and someone was grabbing my head. I started struggling more.
"Sorry miss we're just trying to help you." One said before tape went over my mouth.
I was sat up but kept sitting on the ground between two officers who each held one of my shoulders to keep me still. Tears started falling knowing King is going to be pissed at me.
"We're truly sorry miss. We're not trying to hurt you. This is for your safety."
