AS POV

A nurse came in as Christian tried to calm me down and administered medicine to calm me down.

Christian slowly moved back to the chair. He hunched over with his elbows on his knees, hands on his chin, staring at me like I had just taken his favorite toy. Well I guess I really did take it.

"What? Don't look at me like that!"

"Like what?" He said perplexed.

"Like you lost you favorite toy."

"I'm not." He said petulantly.

"Its not forever. Just for today." I said as I rolled my eyes.

"Ana, don't roll your eyes at me." He said using his DOM voice.

"DON'T TAKE THAT TONE WITH ME. I am not your submissive."

His eyes shot to mine not believing I snapped back.

CG POV

"I know you are not my submissive."

"I will no longer bow down to you. I don't trust you with my submission." She said as she glared at me.

I have lost her. She trusted me from the beginning and I carelessly threw it away.

"I'm sorry baby. I will gain it back."

"Christian, I am done talking about this. I am going to rest."

Getting sleepy from the medicine, she rolled over, and closed her eyes.

I pulled the chair closer to the bed and wrapped her hand in mine. She won't let me touch her when she is awake. But what she doesn't know won't hurt her.

Taylor POV

I cant believe that stupid bitch got bail. How the fuck did this happen? I personally handed her to the cops.

Christian just called to say Ana was awake and wanted me to notify the family. I am so glad she has finally woke up.

I haven't told the boss what I have up my sleeve yet.

It was a few days after Mr. Grey did the interview. I got a letter with a name and number on it.

Isaac Hayes

555-568-4598

I walked into the office and picked up the recorded line. It rang three times before he picked up.

"Mr. Hayes, this is Jason Taylor. I received your letter."

"Yes, Mr. Taylor. I would like to help with your investigation."

"I don't understand Mr. Hayes. I thought you were helping her."

"Isaac please and I was. I thought I was special. Now I know I was just another one of her victims."

"Isaac. What can you tell me about Elena?"

"I don't know if you know this or not but she has an apartment in Pike Market." I didn't let him know I already knew about the apartment. When I ran the background check on Elena's family. I found out her sister had an apartment here but has never stepped foot in this state.

"She has a place near Escala. Is that what you are telling me?"

"Yes. She also called me and told me she has a bail hearing in a week. She wants me to post her bail if she gets it but I don't have that kind of money. I don't really want to do it."

"She shouldn't make bail but look if she does, I want you to call me, and I will post it."

"Why are you going to do that?"

"I want to know her whereabouts and any of her plans before she can harm anymore people."

"Alright, I will call you." I gave him my burner phone number.

WEEK leading to bail.

I had to get a plan in place. I had Barney wire up a house just outside of town with hidden audio and visual cameras. Her apartment too. I had a feeling she would somehow make bail. She knew a lot of people in high places.

After he put the cameras in her apartment the guys and I ransacked it. We found her safe. I cant believe the shit she is in and how many people she had shit on.

INSIDE the safe was

45 videos. Each had a number on the side that corresponded with file that was in the safe as well.

1-5 were of prominent men being beaten and fucked by a man.

6-16 was prominent men beating and having sex with underage girls and boys.

16-28 prominent woman beating and having sex with underage boys.

29-45 were videos on Mr. Grey with his submissives and with the Mrs.

All accounts and info she had with bank ledgers for each.

On the day of the hearing

Isaac called and said she received bail.

The burner phone was ringing. I picked up.

"Taylor."

"Mr. Taylor, she just got bail."

"WHAT!" I knew the bitch would somehow get out. "Did the lawyer say anything?"

"No when the judge walked in I saw her smirk and touch her nose." Okay, I know that signal. She used to use it on Mr. Grey anytime he would try to pull away.

"Did you catch his name?"

"Judge Nichols."

"Alright. I will post the bail. Just take her to where she wants."

I knew when they got there what she would find. I have already searched the apartment and found her hidden safe. Of course I trashed the place so she knew someone had everything.

About an hour later he called again. As I answered the phone.

"Taylor?" He said quietly

"Isaac, what can I do for you?"

"She wants me to find her a safe place to hide."

"Why?"

"Someone ransacked the apartment and cleaned out her safe. She said she isn't safe here."

"Listen carefully, I have a place for you to take her. I will send you the address. I want you to put me on speaker phone and then I will text you. I want you to tell her you have a place and take her there."

"Okay. I will talk to you soon."

TAYLOR'S OVERHEARD CONVERSATION BETWEEN ISAAC AND ELENA

"Mistress."

"Isaac, did you find me some place safe where no one will know where I am. Someone knows."

"Knows what, Mistress?"

"Everything. My whole livelihood was in that safe." You could hear her pacing the floor.

"I texted my uncle about using his house. He is out of town and just bought a place we can stay at." I waited til he said that, then I sent him the address to the house.

"Mistress, lets go."

I heard them leave the house and get in the car.

It was quiet for about 20 minutes.

"Pet, I need you in position when we get there. I need to release some tension."

"Mistress, I have to be home."

"I did not ask you where you had to be. I said I need you in position."

I hung up and called his phone.

"Hello."

"ISAAC, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU? WHY THE HELL WERENT YOU IN CLASS TODAY?" I said sounding angry.

"Dad, I had an appointment."

"WELL YOU BETTER BE HOME BEFORE I GET HOME." I put the phone on mute so they couldn't hear me but I could still hear them.

"Mistress, please. I cant get in anymore trouble. I will come by tomorrow after class. I cant miss anymore or my dad will be on my case."

"You will be here as soon as class is over."

"Yes, Mistress."

I heard him enter the code to the garage and tell her he would see her tomorrow.

Phone call after Elena got out.

"Taylor, are you still there? Did you hear her?" I took it off mute and told him yes.

"Yes, I'm still here. I heard her. You don't have to go over there tomorrow."

"No I want to but I have something planned."

"Isaac don't do something you are going to regret."

"No, I am going to pay her back for everything she did to me."

"Isaac look let me handle her. You will get your revenge when she finds out you were in on her downfall. You are not going to do anything. I have a plan in place and I will take care of it. If she calls you I want you to tell her you dad wants you home everyday after class and you will try to get away as soon as you can."

"Okay, I wont go there."

"Look I have to go Mr. Grey is coming my way."

CG POV

Ana started to stir. I quickly removed her hand from mine. Then moved the chair back to its place.

Her eyes blinked open and closed a few times adjusting to the light.

"Hi!"

"Hi." She whispered. "How long was I asleep?"

"A few hours the doctor said they wanted to keep you a few days. Just until they can get your blood pressure stabilized.

"Can you see if I can have something to eat? I am starving. If they say its okay then go home get cleaned up and bring some food before everyone arrives.

"I'll have Taylor get something."

"No, I want you to go home, clean up, and see if Gail can make me some Chicken broth."

"Ana, I will just have Taylor get you something."

"No Christian, I am fine. Taylor can stay here. Sawyer can take you. "

"SAWYER!" She yelled giving me a smirk. He popped his head in the door.

"Yes, Ana."

"Will you take Christian back to Escala?

If he gives you any trouble you leave him there." She said with a big smile on her face then winks at me. Sawyer and I left the room and walked towards Taylor.

"Taylor, I want you to sit with Ana. Also, will you call Gail and have her prepare some chicken broth for her and dinner for me."

"Yes, Sir." He said as he walked into Ana's room.

"Let's go Sawyer. Apparently your boss has spoken." I said sarcastically.

"Right, Sir." He said smiling at me. I let out a little laugh. She was coming back to me.

He drove me to Escala.

"Gail, I be down in 10 minutes for dinner."

"Yes, Sir."

"Gail, I think you can call me Christian now. Did they get everything done?."

"Yes, Si..." I gave her a look. "Sorry, yes, Christian."

"Perfect." I head to my room and took a quick shower.

AS POV

I knew he held my hand while I was sleeping. I felt him grab it as I dozed off. He just cant help himself.

I just told Christian to go home. Of course he didn't want to listen. But he did in the end when he saw my smile.

A few minutes later Taylor walked in and told me all about Elena.

Holy cow! I can't believe that she had a videos of the judge and several other prominent people. She practically has a get out jail free card everywhere.

About Ninety minutes went by before Christian returned. He walked in the door with a beaming smile on his face. I have only seen this smile one other time. It was right after he returned from the crash and realized he had my answer the whole time.

"What has you in such a great mood?" I beamed back at him.

"Nothing for you to worry about. You will see soon enough." He beamed at me and I stuck my tongue out at him.

"Hey! Watch your tongue or I might have to put it to use." Winking at me.

He pulled out my broth from Gail. He helped me sit up and moved the tray in front of me.

CG POV

I set up Ana's dinner and watched her eat. This pregnancy seems to have given her a ravenous appetite.

"What?" She looked at me with wide eyes sticking the straw in her mouth. She gave up on the spoon and stuck a straw in the bowl and started drinking.

"Nothing. Just enjoying watching you eat." She just smiled at me. It seems like we will be able to find our way back to each other.

As she finished. I went to reach for hand that was lying on the bed. But she pulled it away. God this is killing me not being able to touch her. I really need to talk to Flynn.

AS POV

I could see the defeated look in his eyes as I pulled my hand away.

"Just kidding." I reached for his hand and interlocked our fingers.

"Christian..."

Just as I was about to say something to him. Our whole family walked in but Grace and Ray.

"GET OUT." I screamed. "ALL OF YOU."
