The next few days all he did was take me every which way anytime he could anywhere he could. Whether it be anywhere in the room or in the bathroom. I'm laying here as he's getting dressed.
"I think you have learned plenty the last few days. Tomorrow is the big day. So today I want you to rest up, ok?"
He may seem like he asks questions but it's actually an order.
"Yes."
He looked at me for a moment before walking over to me. "I'll be back later. Be good for me." He said before he kissed my head. I didn't flinch or move. My body was too tired to care.

Hours later King came back with two women with him.
"This is Ava and Tasha. They are going to help you pick a dress for tomorrow."
I nodded and sat up as a stand full of dresses where rolled in. King walked out to leave us to it. As they were having me try on dresses I felt like a mindless doll. This should be me and Hero.
"You look so beautiful." Ava said as I stood on a stool looking into the body mirror.
"Do you not like it miss?" Tasha asked.
"It don't matter what I wear."
"Of course it does. You want you're wedding to be magical."
It would be if it was with Hero.
"Come in cheer up. Tomorrow will be fine. It will be the happiest day of your life."
"Yea it should be."
"What's wrong hun?" Ava asked.
"I know she has cold feet. Right?" Tasha.
"Do you have cold feet my love?"
I wasn't surprised to hear his voice but the dress designers were.
"Goodness you scared us sir." Tasha said.
"You know it's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding." Ava said.
"I have heard but tomorrow I will be the luckiest guy on earth."
"Aww that's so sweet. Doesn't she look lovely?" Tasha asked.
"She looks lovely in anything." He said never taking his eyes off me since he appeared.
"Do you like it miss?"
"It is beautiful." I lied. I hated all of this but I know King is getting impatient.
"Great. Well we will take our leave now then."
I took the dress off and hung it up. King approached me as soon as I hung it up. He wrapped his arms around my waist.
"There will be important guests to come tomorrow. I have doubled my men. You will stay in this room until the wedding just so it know you don't get cold feet. Now tomorrow is very important. These guests I will be having are very important to me in the mafia. They take things like this seriously so if you try anything their men will stop you and bring you back to me. And I promise you don't want that to happen. Ill beat you so bad you will never move again if you so much as embarrass me. Are we clear?"
"Crystal."
He chuckled. "I always love the spark you keep inside you."
He wasn't lying when he said I was to stay in the room until the wedding. He had two men posted outside the locked door. Below the window I could see guards constantly walking around. He even put portable cameras up around the room which I wasn't allowed to go near. He had two men down the hall sitting at a table constantly watching the cameras. For that reason there was no cameras in the bathroom but I had to keep the door open. One camera could see inside the bathroom but not the toilet or shower.

"Time to get up baby girl." I heard coming from King making me sit up. "I have guests to start greeting soon." He said fixing his collar. "There will be hair dressers and a make up artist coming soon to start getting you ready. I expect you to be good and let them do their job."
"I will be good."
He smirked then leaned down to kiss me. "I'll see you in a few hours."
When he left I seen breakfast sitting at the table by the window. After I finished off my breakfast I started some music and headed for the shower. As I stood waiting on the water to get hot I brushed my teeth and kept looking at the glass cup. I turned around just right as I grabbed the glass out of site of the camera. I hid it in a towel as I stepped in the shower. As soon as I got done I stomped on the towel breaking the glass. Unfortunately it was when the song had just gone off. So the guys outside the bedroom heard it.
"Miss are you ok? What was that sound? Get boss up here!"
They knew they couldn't come in in case I was in the shower or nude. I had to hurry. I grabbed the towel and removed the back of the toilet and dumped the glass in it before I heard heavy steps running down the hall towards the room. I quickly put the lid back.
"Mia!" I heard King shout as I heard keys in the lock. I grabbed the towel and wrapped it around my body quickly then grabbed another and started wrapping my hair as I stepped out of the bathroom bumping into King. I jumped back pretending to be surprised.
" What were you doing?"
"What?" I asked confused.
"What was that sound? "
"Music?"
"Don't play with me baby girl! " he said looking around the bathroom quickly.
"What are you talking about?"
"Let me see your arms!"
"What?" I said before King quickly snatched my arms and held them out straight looking over them.
"I'm going to ask one more time. What were you doing?" he said as his jaws clenched and his grip tightened on my arms.
" I..I wa..was ta..taking a sha.. shower." I pretended to stutter out.
"Do not provoke me."
"Sir?"
"What?!" King said looking over his shoulder.
"Um boss the artists are here to help miss Mia get ready."
King looked at me. " Do not try anything that you know I will make sure you regret later."
"Understood King."
As the make up and hair dressers entered King and his men left. After over an hour my hair and make up were done. I put the dress on and looked at the mirror. One thing was right about what the dress designer said yesterday. Today will be a day to remember. A knock on the door brought me out of daze.
"Little one.." Pierson said as he peaked his head in before entering. ".. it's time." He said sounding sad.
"He's letting you escort me?"
"Would you want anyone else?"
"I don't want this day to happen but at least I still have you."
He smiled as he stuck his arm out. I was about to grab it but then remembered what I was going to do.
"Wait a moment please. I need to use the restroom real quick."
"Of course." He smiled.
Once I got in the restroom I was able to close the door. No one was watching and no one would question since Pierson was in the room. I ran a small stream of water in the sink as I removed the lid to the toilet. I grabbed the biggest piece of glass out of it and left the lid off as I turned the water off then flushed the toilet. I lifted the side of my dress and stuck the piece in my leg piece that he's supposed to pull off after we say our I dos and kiss. I washed and dried my hands before opening the door.
"May I?" Pierson asked as he held out his arm.
"You may." I said smirking at him as I locked arms with him.
Two men followed a little ways behind us I'm guessing in case I tried anything.
"You look beautiful by the way if that makes you feel better."
"Thank you. Today is going to be a day for the mafia records."
"Mia I'm.."
"Do not be sorry for me but I want you to not think of me any different after today. Can you do that for me please?"
"I would never think less of you. You been through a lot and you are so strong, beautiful, and smart."
" I know and today's the hardest day I will have to face. "
"I wish I could.."
I cut him off as we reached the doors where behind them everyone was waiting for the day they would never forget. "I know you wish you could help me. I told you no one can help me. Promise me that after today you will remember me as the smart strong girl you spoke of."
"Mia what are you.."
"Just promise me Pierson."
"I promise."
"We're ready miss." A man said as he opened the doors. As I walked down the isle I seen a lot of scary looking guys around with whom I assume was their wives. I knew no one. There stood King up at the alter dressed up in his tux with his hair slicked back like usual. He had a smirk on his face as I walked up to him with a fake one on mine. After today everything will change. As I stood up on the alter and turned to face King he grabbed my hands and held them in his gently. People were looking at us with an aww.
As the priest started talking I zoned out. I have to do this.

Pierson pov
I'm standing here barely listening to what's being said all I can do is look at Mia and think about what she said to me. After a moment I ran as quick as I could back to their room. I quickly ran around the room looking for anything that would explain her actions. Not finding anything I ran to the bathroom. I seen the cover to the back of the toilet off and looked inside to see small pieces of glass. I quickly pulled my phone out and failed the last number.
"We're here now!"
"Get in there now! Mia.."
I was hung up on quickly as I ran back to the wedding.

Mias Pov
"Mia?"
My name brought me back to the current situation. I looked at King and he looked aggravated while he squeezed my hands a little tight. I can't do this I can't be stuck with him. I have to do this.
"I..I.." King started to relax. "I ...I.do.." King started to smile. "I do not!"
Gasps where heard around the room but before King could do anything I shoved him back quickly as I took the glass from the side of my leg piece the same time men started pointing guns at me but stopped when I had brought it up to my own throat.
I pressed it down and went to drag it across
"DON'T"
Everyone turned to the door.
"Mia don't." Hero said as he walked down the isle towards us.
"He won't let me go. He never will leave me alone. I can't do this. No one will stop him. I can't do this anymore." I cried.
"Please I love you Mia. Please don't do this."
"I love you too but no one can stop him. They never did. The fathers did nothing."
"I know one father who can."
I looked up at the door.
"Daddy?" I said in disbelief.
"Daddy?" King asked confused.
"Grab him." My daddy ordered and the men that were with the fathers before came and grabbed King.
As soon as I dropped the glass Hero pulled me into his embrace.
"I'm so sorry baby. I didn't know all of this was going on. You will never have to worry about any of this again." Daddy said.
"How?"
"Well just know that I'm a father too. I kept my distance to try to protect you. If it wasn't for this young man I would of never found out. The first time he came to the fathers I was out of country. If it wasn't for this other one we would of never found you in time." Dad said nodding towards Hero and Pierson.
I looked at Pierson. "I couldn't tell you. King would of found out that I reach out to Hero."
"He's a great man baby. I gladly give you my approval." My dad said smiling at me and Hero.
"Come on baby let's get you home." Hero said looking at me with loving warm eyes.
