Chapter 52
Ana POV
I pull up to GEH and it is swarming with paparazzi. I am so nervous so I decide to leave my helmet on because I know they can't see who I am through the tinted glass. I dismount grab by papers and stroll towards the doors but I get jammed between the mob of reporters. All I see are flashes and all I can hear is shouting. Who are you? What are you doing here? Are you Mr Grey's mistress trying to disguise yourself? Then I feel these strong arms surround me and he scoops me off my feet and carry's me into the building. He walks with me straight into the waiting elevator. He does not attempt to put me down but I can see he is furious. His whole body is tense. We go into his office and he guides me onto his lap behind his desk. He picks up his desk phone and shouts orders.
"Andrea, cancel the rest of my meetings today I am going home early." And he puts the phone down.
"What no please, thank you or goodbye? You are very rude Mr Grey and I don't like it." I tell him. He picks up the phone again and says.
"Good afternoon Andrea I apologize for been so rude on the phone earlier. My lovely wife has just scolded me for it. So could you please cancel all my appointments for the rest of the day and please no more interruptions? Thank you. Have a good day. And he puts the phone down.
"Much better Mr Grey you make me proud." I take my helmet off finally and I know my face is a mess from my tears. I stand up and go wash my face and he gasps out loud making me jump. When I come back he is glaring at me.
"Ana what the fuck are you wearing? You were not just out in public looking like that. That fucking outfit is a sin. I do not want you to be in public wearing something so sexy. Look at yourself. You are going to be on the front page of every newspaper by the morning in that skin-tight leather pants. You will have the whole male population of Seattle pinning you're fucking sexy ass on their walls so they can look at you and jerk off. To make things even worse you were almost crushed by the paps. What the fuck Ana. What are you doing here without your security? Are you fucking crazy?" Hell fucking no. My CEO billionaire husband did not just say that to me.
"Excuse me Christian? I manage to squeak. "Are you trying to control what I wear and I can't believe you said all that shit about jerking off to me. You should appreciate that your wife looks so good. Why would you want me to change? This is a Christmas gift from Elliot and I love it. It's my riding gear." This is fucking Elliot's doing. He has done this to piss me off.
"I must admit though baby you are making me hard just looking at your curves all covered in leather." I can never win with this man.
"I am still going to ring Elliot's fucking neck." Just then there is a knock on the door and Elliot walks in furious and says.
"Ana what the fuck were you thinking disappearing without security? Bulldog and I have been searching for you. Taylor called to chew Bulldogs ass out about you been here and almost mauled by the paparazzi. So we rushed right over."
"Ah finally There is the culprit" Christian says.
"Elliot why the hell did you buy Anna such sexy riding cloths?" I cant help but laugh is that. All he is interested in is the men that are looking at me.
" Your wife was almost mauled, she had a visit from you lawyer about Paul and that's what you ask me? I didn't buy them because they are sexy. All riding clothes look like that. See I am wearing a set to. She just makes the clothes look sexy not the other way round."
Christians POV
As Elliot spoke all I heard was Paul's name and my blood went cold. When security called me to inform me there was a woman in biker gear stuck in the middle of the paparazzi I knew it was my Ana. I ran out and flew into the lobby. I was so afraid that she would be hurt. When they saw me the sea of people parted a way, giving me access to her. Shit she looks so sexy. I bent down and scooped her up giving those vultures a few good pictures to write about. I carried her straight into my office. When the helmet came off I could tell she was upset. But me being the asshole I am, I ask her about her clothes instead. Elliot came in chewing her ass off and I caught Paul's name. So I took her into my lap and cradled her and asked.
"Baby what did Mr Darcy want with you? If you had called me and told me I would have come straight home to be with you or you could of called Elliot he was just next-door. Why didn't you get him to sit with you?"
"Elliot was unavailable. And I realized I am ruining his love life with my drama and it's not fair to him. I called his cell and Katy picked up and she said some nasty things that make sense. See I run off and here he is with me instead of Katy. And you Christian have an empire to run. I handled the lawyer then needed to get to you to talk. No big deal."
"Ana" Elliot says. "No big deal? Just like that. A jealous cousin of yours says nasty things to you and you just assume I agree with it and you shut me out. That is not fair. Katy manipulated the whole situation. I am sorry I let her into my life. I now see her for what she is. Did she tell you that she wants me to have no contact with my brother anymore because she feels he gets too much of my time?" Did she also tell you that she feels my whole family is suffocating me. it's not just about you Ana. You are just the easier target to attack."
"No, she didn't tell me all that. And you can't do that."
"I don't intend to, she should already be on a plane back home. Alex took her. I got no time for lies in my life."
I hand the envelope to Christian and he goes over it. He pulls out his cell and calls Carrick saying we will all be there for a meeting in half an hour. Then he turns to Elliot and says.
"Shit bro. That fucker sighed over his entire company API, a 6 million dollar equestrian farm and a 12 million dollar check to Ana over a year ago. Her signatures are on every document. It looks legit but dad can confirm it for us."
"Christian let me see that." Shit it is legit all the paper work is signed and approved. He gave it all to Anna even before he knew where she was. Why? This does not make sense. What game is he playing?
Ana POV
I feel a lot better now. I just needed to be in Christian's arms. I am upset about my cousins behavior. We all leave GEH to go to Bellevue. Elliot, Bulldog and I do the same thing like when we entered. We put our helmets on so our identity is safe. We walked out together and the mob attacks again, flashes going off everywhere. We mount our bikes and start them up. We wait for Christian to appear out from the underground parking and Elliot tells me through our two-way radios to follow Christian. We tail Christian for a little while. Then Christian beautiful voice comes in my ear.
"Hey baby I need you, Bulldog and Elliot to lose the paparazzi. They are tailing you dangerously. Someone is going to get hurt or worse. Anna get to Bellevue safely. I will see you just now."
Without another thought Elliot nods and we take off. I truly appreciate the power of this bike. It is a dream to ride. We get to Bellevue safely so I call Christian.
"Hey Ana is everything all right? You are on speakerphone and Taylor is with me." I inform her just incase she decided to get naughty on the phone.
"Hi Taylor are you keeping my man safe?" "Yes, Ana he is safe." Taylor says with a chuckle.
"We arrived safely. Were are you baby?" I ask.
"Ana are you at Bellevue already?" Does he think I am joking?
"Yes 10 minutes ago actually. You said to lose the paparazzi, so we did. We had a great ride. It felt so good Christian. And we are safe." That is fucking crazy. How fast were they riding? Oh shit I don't want to know. I look over at Taylor and his face says it all he is shaking his head. But I have to ask.
"Anna we are still half an hour away and we were driving above the speed limit. What was your top speed?" I am so not ready for the answer. We both hold our breaths and wait.
"My top speed was 180 mph baby." What the fuck? That is fucking obscene. The speed limit is maximum 75 mph. Taylor bursts into laughter and I just join him because if I don't I am going to blow my top. I hang the phone in her ear and settle into the seat.
Taylor POV
180 mph that is fucking crazy. Do they have a death wish? They sure did make good time. At that speed there is no way they would have been tailed or caught which is not such a bad thing. But I can tell the boss is fuming. Elliot and Bulldog are going to get the worst end of it.
"Boss they are safe." I bravely say as we pull into the driveway. He just gives me a sideways glance and jumps out. Bulldog comes to me and asks what's so funny? So I tell him.
"The boss is pissed at you'll because you'll got here so fast. He made the mistake to ask her what her fastest speed was."
"And what did she say?"
"Well, she said. 'My top speed was 180 mph baby.' He almost died. I burst out into laughter. What else could I do?"
"Taylor what is that speed in km?"
"Oh boy Bulldog. Well, let me see. That would be 299 km/ph for you."
"What the fuck are you serious. That is incredible. I wondered what my speed was. It felt so good riding with them. They both handle those bikes like professionals. When I get time off I am buying me a bike. Do you think the boss will sell me his. He doesn't seem interested in it and it rides so smooth."
"Good luck with that. I don't think he will allow her to get back on that bike. Mark my words. What Mr Grey wants he gets?"
"I say she rides it home from here. I bet you 100 dollars on that Taylor."
"That's a deal Bulldog. Now let's do our job."
Christian POV
I walk into my fathers study and they are all chilling and laughing when I am fuming. I can't hold it any more and I scream at both Anna and Elliot.
"180 fucking mph. Are you two fucking brain dead. What the fucking hell were you'll thinking, I am so fucking pissed with you'll two. I don't even want an answer because I already know it. Did you'll take into account what would happen at that speed. Death. No hospital trip. Those fucking bikes are out of here. Anastasia Rose Grey you will never ride that fucking death trap again or so help me. I have had enough of this bull shit. No fucking regard for your own fucking safety. Elliot how dare you. This is your fucking fault. You bought this fucking bike now take it back. And the one Anna bought for me is going to. Get rid of them. FUCK."
Before I even realize what is going on Anna slaps me across the face and storms out of the office. Before I can stop her mom jumps in and says to give her time. I tell Elliot he better go with her and he scowl's at me and walks out without saying a word.
Elliot POV
My control freak baby brother just blew his fucking top right off. I have never seen him like that before. Anna stormed off and I followed her out to her bike. She was just sitting on it.
"And where are you planning to go young lady?" I ask her and she bursts into laughter. I think it's the adrenaline rush from slapping my brother even though he deserved it. She removes all the things on her with trackers, her anklets, ring, watch, and cellphone. Then she takes my watch, ring and phone and hands them to Bulldog then she speeds off down the drive way. I follow her for a while then ask her over the two-way.
"Ana let's go to my friend's house for supper. We can chill there till you calm down then we will go home. How does that sound?" I ask her
"Lead the way Elliot because I am not going home anytime soon." She tells me.
