Chapter 5

Tristana woke to find she was handcuffed to her hospital bed and Cristoff sitting next to her bed waiting for her to wake up.

"Where am I?" Tristana said groggily.

"Babe, I had you moved to another facility to protect you." Cristoff said.

"Protect me? From what?"

"The staff was abusing you, darling."

"Don't you mean, you took me away so they wouldn't catch on to what you were doing to me?!"Tristana accused.

Gina, the CNA assigned to Tristana for the shift, came in to check on Tristana, "I'm sorry to interrupt, but I was here to get Ms. Colbert's vital signs?"

"Yes, come in." Cristoff said, as Gina took Tristana's vitals while Cristoff stepped outside the room to answer his cell that was buzzing in his pocket.

"Yes?"

"Sir, we have a problem?” Cristoff’s Beta warned.

"What is it?"

"Justin is onto you and looking for your fiancée."

"D****t!" Cristoff said. "Thanks for letting me know."

Cristoff came back into Tristana's room to let her know he had to leave for a while to take care of some business.
