AS POV
I woke up to the sun in my eye. I glance at the clock 7:30. I cant believe I sleep through dinner and breakfast. However I feel so exhausted. I cried myself to sleep last night.
I roll over and the envelope is no longer there. Maybe Gail moved it. I cant believe I signed it. I was just so angry at my damn husband. I cant believe that stupid bitch at the doctor's office went to the NOZ. I really hope Taylor has gotten Barney to take that shit down.
I really need to get ready. I have a meeting this morning with a new author. We are looking to sign this morning.
I quickly took a shower, got ready and heades to the kitchen.
SHIT I just realized I am not at Escala. Gail isn't here. FUCK where is that envelope. I hope Christian hasnt got it. That's all I need add more fuel to this blazing fire between us right now.
I glance around for Christian but I dont see him. I guess he didnt come looking for me.
I pick up my phone to send Sawyer a text.
Be ready to leave in 10 minutes*
Sure thing Ana*
I headed back to the master and grabbed my briefcase and tablet.
Sawyer and I walked to the car to head to my meeting.
"Sawyer, I need to go to the Fairmont Hotel."
"Alright, Ana. Do we need to go to the office before?"
"No, Sawyer. We have to be there by 8:30."
We pulled up to the Fairmont and the fucking paparazzi are gathering out front. Just what I fucking need.
"Sawyer, can we go around back?"
"No ma'am, they are there as well."
I glared at him. "No more of that ma'am shit. I am ANA say it with me. A.N.A." I said my name slowly to make my point.
We pulled up out front and Ryan walked to the driver side door. I didn't even know he was here.
"I sent Ryan a text before we ledt to have him as back up."
"Thanks Sawyer." He got out of the front seat and walked around and opened my door. He helped me out and we walked into the hotel.
"Mrs. Grey, is this the father?"
"Are you here for an afternoon romp?" Are you freaking kidding me? Look at the shitstorm my idiot hisband has started.
"Mrs. Grey..."
"Mrs. Grey..."
"Mrs. Grey..."
"Mrs. Grey..."
They just kept yelling questions. I just went into my bubble. I quit listening. I walked to the hostess stand.
"Good morning ma'am. Do you have a reservation?" Is she seriously going to play it off like she doesnt know me.
"Yes, party for 2 under Grey." She checked the list.
"Right this way ma'am. Your party has already arrived."
"Great, thank you." She walked me to the table and he was sitting at the table already.
"Your waitress will be right with you." I sat down across from Michael Sterling.
"Good morning, Mr. Sterling. Hope you haven't been waiting to long?"
"No, Mrs. Grey. Just arrived a few minutes before you. And its Mike Please."
"Good, and Ana please." The waitress came to take out order. I asked for a stack of pancake with bacon and a glass of orange juice.
"You know what that sounds delicious I will have the exact same." Mike said. She walked away and soon came back with our juice.
"Your order will be out momentarily."
While we wait I had told him how much I had loved reading his story. Our food soon arrived. After we finish our breakfast. We got down to business, talking about his book, any changes he wanted on the contract, and when we hoped to have his book ready for publication. He handed me the envelope with his edited manuscript in it. I placed it in my briefcase and said I would have the revised contract sent to him in the morning.
We both got up and before he left he placed a kiss on my cheek.
"I am really looking forward to working with you on this. Thank you so much Ana. You have no idea how you have changed my life."
I just smiled and said. "Youre so welcome. I cant wait to get your story out there." As he left I headed to the elevator to go to the second floor to the managers office.
I walked out of the elevator headed tward the receptionist.
"Good morning, do you have an appointment."
"Yes, Anastasia Grey. I have a 10 o'clock with Mr. Mckinley."
"You can go right in, he is expecting you."
I walked towards his office and knocked.
"COME IN." I heard him shout.
I pushed the door open and headed in.
"Ahhh, Mrs. Grey how can I help you?"
"Good morning, Mr. McKinley. I would like to talk to you about renting our the ballroom for a party."
We went over the details. An hour later I thanked him and got up to leave.
"I'll walk you out Mrs. Grey. I have to head down to the dining room to another meeting."
We continued talking in the elevator about the party.
As the elevator was about to open I tripped over my oen foot. He reached out and saved me from falling. Just as the door opened the flashes went off.
What the fuck?
"Mrs. Grey is this the baby's father?" Was shouted from every damn paparazzi.
I thanked him for saving me and headed to the exit quickly. This is one big clusterfuck or epic proportion.
Sawyer helped me in the car and we quickly headed to the office.
Taylor POV
My tablet pinged with an alert from the NOZ.
To be or not to be. That is the question. Which one can it be?
This morning we habe some breaking news. Anastasia Grey met with two men this morning. We are wondering which one is the lucky one to be the father of her baby.
Below were pictures of a man kissing her cheek and also havkng breakfast together. Also a picture of her in the elevator held up against a man.
We are leaning towards the second man. Mrs. Grey was seen entering the elevator over an hour ago heading upstairs. We were able to catch her in the act coming from upstairs with the gentlemen holding her against him.
FUCK, FUCK, FUCK! I quickly grab my phone and called Sawyer.
"Hey T, Whats up?"
"Where's Ana?"
"We just got back to the office. She was bombarded by the paps after her meeting."
"I know Sawyer, there is an article on the NOZ. whatever you do, dont let her see it. I am going to get it down."
"T, how the hell am I suppose to stop her. I cant just take her tablet and phone."
"Just forget it. I'll call her."
I hung up with him and called Ana.
AS POV
My phone ping with an alert a few minutes ago. As I went to grab my phone it rang. Taylor's name came on the caller ID.
"GREY." I said laughing. "Sorry I tried to keep ot serious." He laughed with me.
"Ana." He said in a serious tone. Spmething wrong.
"What's wrong, Taylor? Is Christian okay, has something happened."
"Christian is fine, Ana. But there is a new article and I dont wont you to worry about it. I am taking care of it. Please don't read it."
I placed the phone on speaker phone. I hit the alert notification and gasped as I read it.

Oh my god, how much worse can this get. I started pacing the room screaming at Taylor to get this shit fixed.
"Taylor, I dont care what you fucking do, buy the fucking NOZ and shut this shit down now." I could feel my blood pressure rising. I started to get dizzy. I screamed just as everything went black.
SAWYER POV
I hung up with Taylor and waited outside Ana's office.
A few minutes later I heard her screaming. "Taylor, I dont care what you fucking do, buy the fucking NOZ and shut this shit down now."
"SAWYER." I heard her scream. Just as I bust in to her room I watched her fall. I tried to catch her but I wasn't quick enough. Her head hit thw side of the desk as she fell to the floor.
TAYLOR POV
I heard Ana scream Sawyer and then nothing.
"ANA," I screamed. What the hell is going on?
Next thing I know I hear Sawyer scream.
"Someone call 911. Mrs. Grey, someone help."
I ran to the boss' office. I burst through the door.
AN... Sorry this one is a little shorter. Hope you enjoy it. Next update soon
