Happy Wednesday you gorgeous people!

Recap: Ana was at the office and has got 2 personal security guards; Luke Sawyer and Samantha Prescott. Ana had them sitting out the front of the building and she didn't like them hovering around her office all day. She let the other girls in the office finish 15 minutes early and decided to close up on her own. As she was closing up, her stalker broke into the office and held her at knifepoint in her office. Sawyer came in and went after him but he got away.

I love all of your guesses as to who the stalker could be! I will say that I have seen a couple of right guesses but I'm not giving it away that easily, please keep all of your guesses coming in, it's really interesting to see everyone's different opinions.

Stalked: Chapter 9: Seriousness (Tuesday June 28th 2016)

Christian
"Ana!" I called as I rushed into her office, she was sitting at her chair, at her desk, she was crying and her hands were shaking. I kneeled down in front of her and grabbed her hands, she looked me in the eyes and started crying fresh tears.

"He was here" She sobbed and fell into me.

I wrapped my arms around her as she sobbed into my chest "It's ok, I'm here, I've got you... you're ok" I murmured into her ear as I stroked her hair and held onto her.

"I thought he was going to kill me"

"Shh... take a breath, you're ok"

"He had a knife" She pulled away from me and took a deep breath "He had a knife, he could have killed me" It seemed like it was actually starting to hit her "Oh my God... he wants to kill me" She stated in panic.

"No one is going to hurt you or kill you" I replied.

I helped Ana back into her chair and handed her the glass of water sitting on her desk. I helped her bring the glass up to her lips as she sipped the water, her hands were still shaking. I placed the glass back down on the desk and noticed Prescott hovering in the doorway.

I want to know what the hell happened. I hired Prescott and Sawyer to keep Ana safe and to prevent something like this from happening, where the hell was they when this happened? I swear, Taylor better be grilling Prescott and Sawyer right now because I am going to want answers! How the hell could this happen?

"Can you stand up?" I asked Ana. She seemed to think about it for a second and nodded, I helped her stand to her feet and we stood there still for a moment whilst she got her footing.

I held onto her and took one step, she followed my lead and slowly we started walking out of her office, we were met by Taylor at the office door. His face was slightly red and he looked pissed, Prescott and Sawyer were stood towards the front of the long office hallway and they were looking pretty sorry for themselves. I'm guessing Taylor ripped them a new one and tried to find out what happened. For their sake, they better have an answer.

"Where to Mr Grey?" Taylor asked.

"Escala, have the police meet us there" I told him.

Ana stopped walking "The police?" She questioned.

"Yes, the police" I replied "Ana, this man threatened you with a knife and he is stalking you. We are getting the police on this, they are going to work with Taylor to find him and they are going to arrest him and throw him in jail to rot" I told her.

"Oh my God... this is crazy"

"Ana, everything is going to be ok"

Taylor approached us and put his arm around Ana in a protective way "Come this way Ms Steele, we'll get you home" He told her and started walking with her towards the exit.


Ana
The police have just left and I was assured that they were putting everything into finding this guy. They bombarded me with questions and it wasn't until I was speaking to them that I realised I hadn't really been taken notice of anything, not even when he was holding that knife up to me, they asked me what eye colour he had and I couldn't answer them. I was looking right into his eyes and I couldn't answer... how stupid I must have looked to them, I couldn't answer simple questions. Taylor and Christian answered a lot of the questions about the previous incidents, because I didn't take notice again. Why haven't I been more vigilant?

Taylor said he was going to work closely with the police; he has some connections from his military days so he can make sure he is kept up to date with everything going on in my case. I really can't thank Taylor enough for everything he has done. He really has been working hard on this, I couldn't believe it when he handed over a really large file to the police, and he's been collecting evidence apparently.

I felt really awful for Prescott and Sawyer, Christian and Taylor really tore them a new one after what happened. I told Christian it wasn't their fault but he was just so angry at them. I've never seen him like that before; it was like a different person.

Speaking of Prescott and Sawyer...

"Ms Steele, I just want to say how sorry I am today" Sawyer started.

"We never should have let this happen, I am very sorry" Prescott added.

"It really isn't your fault. There was no way you two could've known what was going to happen; since this whole stalking thing started, he has never approached me before like this. It has always been sending me things... I don't blame you and you shouldn't blame yourselves either. I am sorry that Christian and Taylor shouted at you, they were just worried" I explained.

"It was our job to keep you safe and we failed. From now on one of us is going to be at your side every time you step out of the door, we have come up with a system for the day at work and we are going to make sure that this never happens again" Sawyer told me.

"Ok, whatever you two think is best" I agreed.

"We've shown Taylor our plans and he agrees with it"

"Great"

Part of this is my fault, I insisted Prescott and Sawyer stay out the front and not 'bother' me at work. If I allowed them to do their job, nothing would have happened to me. I would've been safe because Prescott and Sawyer are great at their jobs, I've seen their paperwork, and they are very impressive. I should have just let them do their jobs... I put myself in a dangerous situation when I didn't need to. I wasn't taking this threat seriously, part of me thought it was just a joke but now I understand the seriousness of this and the risks.

"I want to apologise to you two" I started; they both look a little confused "If I had allowed you to do your job, this wouldn't have happened. It's partly my fault and I feel really bad that you got into trouble because of me and my idiocy" I finished.

"Ms Steele-"

"No" I cut Sawyer off "First off you call me Ana not Ms Steele... second off this is partly my fault so please just accept my apologies" I told them.

They both nodded and left the room.


Short filler chapter I know... I had a complete brain block yesterday trying to finish this. I had another go at it today but it just didn't go as planned so I do apologise it's not the best chapter but please hang in there with me, I promise next week is going to be much better!

Thank you to everyone who has followed, favourited and reviewed so far... please keep all the love coming in.
