CHAPTER FIFTEEN: HIS ILLNESS
Immediately the car got to the compound, King opened the door and angry dragged her out from the Car.
He dragged her inside the living room without sparing her hands.
"Ple...ea..se... can we talk". Rosie pleaded she was scared because this was the first time she was seeing him this angry.
It was different the anger was dangerous and scary.
The butler saw them coming in and she was surprised seeing King drag Rosie inside.
What caught her attention was his eyes it wasn't normal It was...
Immediately she realized what it was, she was alerted and was on a full panic mood.
She knew what was going to happen and it is going to be dangerous.
She immediately went to her room to call the doctor because It was something out of her knowledge.
King dragged Rosie to his room, locked the door and forcefully threw her to the floor.
Rosie hit her back on the table, the pain shot through out her body and she let out a scream.
"Please... please...please... I'm sorry, I don't even know what I did but please can you calm down let's talk about.....
Before she could even finish her sentence King held her neck and pushed her to the wall.
That is it. Rosie thought she was going to die tonight. She was hardly breathing, he was strangling her, she was losing her strength, any moment from now she's going to die.
Tears filled her eyes as she could only think about her family. She was going to die without seeing them for the last time.
Without eating together with them, talking, laughing, hugging and sharing her thoughts with them.
She started hitting him on his chest with her hand trying to get him back to normal but he wasn't yielding.
He threw her to the floor again. This time around both her hands and legs were bruised.
"Leave... before I do something I would regret later". King said in a dangerously low voice
Rose did not look back, she ran out of the room.
As she ran out she could hear a shattering sound.
When she came downstairs, she met a worried look from the butler.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" She asked concerned.
Rosie was more than injured, her neck had his hand mark on it, her elbows, hands, legs and bones were bruised and in pains.
'What is happening? "Why is he acting strange".
"It's not for me to answer. Go freshen up the doctor will be here to treat your wound.
"I almost died today, I deserve to know"
"Ask him when he recovers".
Growing up King had to deal with lots of things as a child. The trauma, pains, lose and hardship cost him his mental health.
He suffers from traumatic explosive disorder.
He has to keep his emotions in check or else, if he gets overly emotional It causes his Illness to resurface and that could cause harm to people around.
Whenever it resurfaces, he loses control of his state of mind and he becomes super aggressive, he wouldn't stop until someone's blood is being shed.
For some unknown reason, he was able to let her go before he did something he would regret later.
After some minutes the doctor came in and went straight to his door.
"King are you calm now? Can I come in?"
"Yes"
The doctor came in to meet everywhere in disarray and of course King's injured.
He gave him the suppressant to help keep his emotions in check, then he treated his wounds.
"What happened? I thought you had your emotions under control? What got you excited?"
"Nothing I'm fine".
"You need to be careful, your health is more important than anything, do take care of yourself".
After that the doctor left to go check on Rosie, he treated her wounds before leaving the house.

Back to the charity Gala.
"Where is she?"
"She's in my car, you can go see her over there. I don't want her to be seen by anybody".
Rowell followed Mr. Martins to his car to go do the checks himself.
When he got there, he was met with a dangerously beautiful girl.
After scrutinizing her and asking her questions, he was more than hundred percent sure that she's the perfect candidates.
The way she speaks with confidence, her appearance and everything was in check.
He left them and went to his car, and drove back home.
At least One third of his problems, It's been in motion of getting solved hopefully.
Ann, listen, no matter what, you answer to me. I will tell you what to say to Rowell and what not to say.
I can't trust him, he's cunning and has a way of manipulating people, so you better be smart and speak to me before you speak to anyone else.
"Okay, can I go now?" Ann asked simply uninterested in the conversation with this old man.
Ann is an orphan, she was adopted by Mr. Richard at a very young age.
She has been through intensive training, she does all his dirty works. Practically, she's his pun, used whenever he needed his job done.
She became uninterested in life, because there is nothing to hope for. She serve her purpose as his pun, knowing that she will die one day in it. She hoped death would come faster.
For a twenty-two years old she has seen and done this beyond imagination.

She felt rage, humiliation, wronged and vexed.
She is known as the princess of the country, but this evening an uncultured element made her a laughing stock.
She had to exit the building through the private door. To make matters worst, some people recorded the altercation.
It will be all over the internet before morning and she will be laughed at.
"Rosie!! I promise you, I will ruin your life till the extent you wish for death and it will be far from your reach".
Clara said with her voice filled with malicious growl.
