18. Chapter 18

Chapter Sixteen

Our honeymoon were extended by only a week. Christian and I both learned how to scuba dive in Bora-Bora everything were really pretty. Then we sailed all the way back to French waters and we flew back. Yes, we both rested a lot and we also had wonderful adventures together. Christian and I have been talking about our financial future and in so he wants our finances joined. I don't argue with him over that since he is head of our house now after all.

On the jet phone Taylor got a call and he looked sharply from the carpet in the main cabin to Christian and Christian looked at me. Oh, no. I don't have a great feeling about this. Christian kissed my hands and walked over to Taylor and Sawyer joined them now as well. I looked out my window over the clouds at the setting sun. I got my laptop out and started working and I have a few new manuscripts to work through. I was about half way through my first of four new manuscripts when Christian re-joined me.

'What's going on Mr Grey?'

'Okay, I'm only telling you this because we decided to be brutally honest and open with each other.'

'Christian you are scaring me. What is going on?'

'Someone posted bail for Jack.' He finally lay it out for me.

'What?' I felt like hyperventilate.

'Welch is working on finding out who posted the bail for Jack but in the meantime our security will be tight until we catch Jack again.'

'Oh, okay…'

'Hey, we will catch him.' He cupped my face and looked directly into my eyes. My e-mail pinged. I opened it and it made my heart stop altogether.

'Well you better do it fast Mr Grey, look…' I showed Christian the e-mail that just arrived.

'Turn off your wi-fi quickly.' I did what I was told.

The e-mail reads:

'Die! Die! Die!

You stole him from me, and for that you will die Anastasia Steele.

Mark my words you will die by my hands.

Count your days with your husband because you will not have long.

See you real soon, gold digging whore.'

I was in tears how can someone just randomly make death threats like this. Christian was instantly pissed off. He held me to him as I cried. I later turned in and Christian showed the e-mail to our security. I just lay in our dark room, silently crying. Why would anyone want to even kill me? Have I done something wrong? I worked back over the past eight months and really nothing comes to mind at all. An hour or two past and Christian came to look in on me.

'Ana, baby?' He called to me.

'Yes.'

'Are you alright my sweet girl?'

'No, have I done something wrong to offend someone this badly?' I asked sitting up.

'No sweet girl you have not, you don't have a mean bone in your stunning body Mrs Grey. This e-mail sounds more like you are targeted because of me.' Christian aired.

'What are you thinking baby?' I asked wrapping my arms around my legs.

'I have my suspicions; I think it could be Elena. I could be wrong. Welch is on the line with Taylor now and our guys will trace the IP address from the sender. We will catch these intruders. I promise you love.' He pulled me closer and kissed my forehead. I lay my head on his shoulder and we descended to Sea-Tec.

'I can't believe our honeymoon is over.'

'Yes time does fly these days. There is also a possibility Mrs Grey that I might have to fly out with Ros to Darfur to make sure the air drop is going over smoothly and after that we have to fly out to Taiwan for two weeks to look at their shipyard they want to sell.'

'Why Taiwan?' I asked curiously.

'The unites we assemble is cheaper in Taiwan then shipping everything here. So if we have a good functioning ship yard there we can save and make a bit extra profit.'

'Oh, that's good.'

'I would really like to take you with me Mrs Grey. I want to show you the world.' He cupped my face again as he looked into my blue eyes.

'I would really like that but I don't know if Roach will let me go this long again. We already pushed our luck with me being gone a month now.'

'Oh I can talk to him.'

'Please Christian I don't want to trouble you while you're on a business trip or having poor Roach have a meltdown when I'm gone for another two to three weeks.'

'What if we make it a business trip for you to. While we're in Asia, why not use the opportunity to go look at those huge printing machines and we can have a look at the building next to SIP to buy and have the printing house right next door. Then you guys still have your own printing house and this way it may even cost cheaper then to take over an existing print house.'

'That can actually work love, but what about the night club?'

'We won't be leaving for the next two to three month's princess by then everything should be up and running right.' He hugged me tighter to his side.

'Okay we'll see, when the times comes.' I smiled at him. He leans in and gave me a kiss. Our jet finally touched down and we're officially back in Seattle. We got all our things in our waiting cars and drove home. While we were away on our honeymoon, our real estate agent got my old apartment sold and the transaction is now done. I have a ton of money back in my pocket, that I can use to doll up my night club with.

I don't want to ask Christian for money for my night club. So I'll use the cash from the sale of my apartment. I have such plans. We are all in route to Escala. Gosh I am so tired, why is traveling always to tiring. Christian got out when we came to a complete stop in the parking garage of Escala. He helped me out of the car and with our personal belongings we carried it ourselves as we head towards the elevator. Taylor pressed the call button and we waited.

'Thank you for going with us Taylor, you probably miss Gail like crazy.'

'It is my pleasure Mrs Grey.'

'Taylor please it's Ana.'

'Very Well Ana then, yes I missed her very much.' He smiled at me. Christian just held me to his side as we climb into the elevator as it arrived. Taylor pressed in the code for the penthouse and we all head up. The elevator arrived and the whole place is upside down, the Madonna and child in the foyer lay on the floor, the vase on the foyer table is in pieces along with the double glass doors. Shot's were fired and the sound of struggle coming from the great room. Sawyer and Taylor pressed us back into the elevator and Christian pressed me in the corner behind him. With their guns drawn they rushed into the penthouse. More shots were fired.

'Love I'm not keeping you here, you've been through enough. I'm getting you out of here.'

'Wait, we're not leaving them. Where is Gail?'

'You want to go towards the flying bullets?' He asked me. 'No Ana you are not going out there.' I pulled my whip from my bag and untangle it as I step out of the elevator. I got to the shattered double doors and lean with my back against the wall. I saw feet peeking out from behind the kitchen counter and it looks very much like Gail. I peeked around the corner from where Taylor, Sawyer, Ryan and Prescott are fighting with an unknown masked man with a rather large gun in his hand and his back were towards me. Christian was frantic behind me.

I stepped out of my shoes so that I don't make much noise. There are pieces of glass everywhere and it's cutting the soles of my feet but I couldn't make any sound as I hide behind a couch, now. I told Christian to stay behind a solid wall in case the shooter shoots again. I sneak up till I were a good few feet from him and got to my feet silently while Taylor and the guys they're keeping him busy. I took in my stance and I crack my whip all over the length of this persons back. Prescott finally found a gap and knock the gun from the intruder's hand. I told them to step back. They did, Taylor and Sawyer were the only ones that ever really saw me very angry. I crack my whip over his behind.

'What is your business here?!' I yelled above the man's cries.

'To kidnap Christian Grey's fiancé…' The man breathed hard.

'Who send you?' I asked as I gave him another whipping.

'My employer is anonymous.' That was all I could stomach and I knocked the man out cold with one punch. I turned around and Ryan and Prescott took over as Taylor finally saw Gail. The intruder knocked her out pretty good.

'How did this guy got in here?' Christian yelled as he stormed into the room towards me.

'We just made our rounds, and when we caught a glimpses of him on the fire escape and it was too late sir. Ryan had a solid plan until it back fired and the shooting started just as all you fine folks arrived.' Prescott explained. I rushed to Gail where Taylor lay her down on her bed. I got an ice pack from the freezer and held it over her huge bruised cheek. Ryan and Prescott haven't even seen Gail knocked out.

'Gail honey open your eyes.' Taylor cooed her awake. She slowly opened her eyes as she looked at Taylor with a lovely smile. She'll be alright.

Christian pulled me away so he can attend to my injuries.

'Mrs Grey this is officially our first married couple fight. You will never ever do a thing like this ever again! Are we clear!' He yelled at me as his face got a bit red.

'I'm sorry Mr Grey. I saw a situation and I rectified it.'

'What if he turned around and shot you, Ana? Don't have any regards for your own life and the people that extremely love you, baby.' He stepped closer to me and took my face in both his hands as I sat on the breakfast bar stool, my feet are really starting to hurt and there are bloody foot prints everywhere.

'I'm really sorry.' I felt the tears sting my eyes as my tears started to build. 'I'm really-really sorry, Christian.'

'It's all alright now angel girl.' He kissed my forehead and finally looked at my feet. 'Oh my god, look at your feet.'

'It was for the greater good.' I spoke through my sobs. He lifts my leg and looked at my one foot then the other one.

'Oh no, Ana baby this looks bad, we need to get you to the hospital.'

'Great this is the needle prick of our happy bubble. Hold on I just want to go strangle that asshole real quickly.' I wanted to get up and knock that ass to a pulp.

'Hey, you're not going anywhere with these feet and look there are blood everywhere.' Christian pointed out on my trail of bloody foot prints.

'I'm sorry I got the floor all dirty.' I wanted to start crying out of frustrations now.

'Okay that's enough, we're going NOW.' He picked me up and we head to the elevator and took the car we came home with. We drove to the hospital and they had a look at my feet and they gave me something to put me under while Christian could be by my side. They immediately started with my feet and for the next three weeks I have to use a wheelchair to get around in so that I don't have to walk on my feet.

Oh, great. We got back home and I was just so tired but the nightmare were not over, the police are here and they wanted to take my statement as they took the intruder away. I gave them my statement ever second of it and then they were all gone and we all can finally clean up and go to bed. We are all already three hours into the new day. It's Saturday and Christian and I finally gone to bed after a well deserved shower. I took my medication and was out like a light.

A bright day woke me and it was already ten-thirty in the morning. Christian was working on his laptop in bed. I sat up greeted my husband and pulled out my own laptop.

'Roach e-mailed me yesterday.' Christian utter as he typed frantically.

'Oh, what did he want?' I asked.

'He said and I quote; "Anastasia worked harder this past month and got four new authors to sign with us. Her work volume increased".'

'Really Roach said that about me?'

'Yes, he did baby. You can read the e-mail he send me.'

'That's okay Mr Grey I believe you.'

'I'm so proud of you baby.' He pulled me closer and gave a nice kiss.

'Thank you, but it really didn't feel like I worked that hard at all while we were on our honeymoon.'

'Well clearly you have been. So four new authors, huh?'

'Yes, their work is the most original I have read in a long time.'

'Well if it's that good then get me a copy please.' He smiled at me and gave me another kiss.

'Oh, before I forget Mr Grey, don't forget to ask Roach about our 'business trip' for our own printing machines we're going to have a look at and that the board have to approve this.'

'Yes, Mrs Grey I haven't forgotten about that and I have already send an e-mail off to Roach about that matter. We'll only find out on Monday about this decision.'

'Good. We have to go by the play house later to go see the progress of the construction later if it is okay.'

'Yes, I wanted to asked you if you will be up for it later.' He countered.

'Of course I will love.' Christian's phone rang and it's Grace. I got to my own work while Christian talked to his mother and then my mother called to find out if we are still fine and then right after mom's call ended Ray called. He is hard at work on the base in Vancouver. Later on we got ready for the day and got dressed so we can drive out to the play house.

We got to the new property and they are already busy with the first floor and even though it is Saturday our contractors are hard at work. They took us through the already build parts to show us and in so I can't really go there with my wheelchair and what Christian did, he called me on Skype video chat and took me through the building as he saw it. I was in my office in my play house as I watched them walk through the property. Everything and more I expected for this major step towards my one dream was now being visualized.

'What do you think princess?' Christian asked me as he turn his device so I can see his face again.

'It's all so great thanks for all your hard work so far on this project Mr White.' I smiled at him as I whip away my happy tears. Christian shook our contractors hand and walked over to the play house.

'Baby, are you okay? What's with all these tears?' He asked me as he pulled me out of my wheelchair and into his lap when he got back into my office.

'These are happy tears Mr Grey, I never thought I could build my dream like this and it is better then I even imagined and thank you Mr Grey that I could do this.'

'You're welcome princess. So how does it all look here?' Christian asked as we both look over the financial books.

'Goodness business is booming.' Christian finally utter when we did the final calculations.

'It would surely look that way love.' We did the salaries for all my dom's here and in Portland.

'I would like to drive out to Portland soon to go check in on everything there. But that will have to be next weekend.'

'Good idea, maybe we can take Charlie Tango out there. I miss flying her and maybe we can stay over at the Heathman for a few nights then fly back here.'

'That would be great.' I smiled at him and gave him a kiss. His phone rang and I closed the door so he could take it. It's Grace again and she and Carrick would like us to join them for dinner as a welcome home get together. Christian looked at me and asked me if it's okay. I just smiled at him and nod my head in agreement. Sawyer drove all back to the penthouse. We later got ready for our dinner at the in-laws and Taylor and Sawyer drove us out there with extra security following us with Jack on the lose Christian is not taking any chances. We got there and Sawyer got my wheelchair out of the truck of the car and Christian pushed me in my wheelchair up to the front door.

'This will be interesting.' Christian mumbled to himself as he rang the doorbell. The front door open and Gretchen open the door for us and Christian with Sawyer picked my wheelchair up and put me down inside the house.

'Thank you Sawyer.' I smiled up at him as he smiled down at me.

'You're welcome Mrs Grey.' Christian pushed me further into the house and Carrick, Grace and Mia came to greet us. They gave us warm hugs and cheek kisses with the most confused look on their faces.

'What happened?' Grace asked us.

'Well mother, my wife wanted to be G.I. Jane and she attacked her kidnapper we had at the penthouse last night when we got back and because there were scattered glass everywhere she sliced open her feet rather badly hence the wheelchair.' Christian explained.

'You attacked a person who wanted to kidnap one of you two?' Carrick asked and his building anger is quite clear.

'Yes, daddy, you see after what happened to me with Steven all those years ago I always keep an emergency whip on me person to defend myself and so I lay a few stripes on him. He even knocked poor Gail out cold.'

'Why haven't you told us this- this morning Christian.' Grace asked looking from me to him.

'Because there were no cause for alarm.' He added, helping me from the wheelchair to the couch next to him.

'Speaking of alarm, Jack my former boss is out on bail and…' I trailed off as Christian continued for me.

'And we are bumping up all your security for a while till we can track him down. That means you as well Mia. I know you and Elliot are not very fond of the security I get you two but you two would just have to deal.' Christian spoke up.

The doorbell rang and Elliot and Kate stepped in. I wanted to run to Kate but she came to me since I can't walk around with the stitches on the bottom of my feet.

'What happened?' Kate asked me almost immediately when she saw me.

'Long story. It is only temporary though so it is nothing major promise.' I smiled at her. It looks like my reassurance worked for now and they all sat down. We talked about our honeymoon and all the adventures we had. It was clear Kate longed for an intimate time with Elliot. All though I know from my past experience with Elliot, is that he's a real ladies man yet sometimes ladies men can be a little thick and not get certain things like when we would like to spend more time with our men alone, and they want to hang out with their mates and watch football or baseball. I mean seriously do we have to spell everything out for some guys.

As for Christian being what we are he's learning how to read people to, and he just gave me a smirk when he picked up on Kate and Elliot's tension. Gretchen the Grey's housekeeper called us to the dinner table and we all set out to the dining room. Christian pushed my wheelchair to the dining room. I smiled up at him, he leans down and give me a kiss. Dinner were perfectly prepared and the conversation was just as delightful.

Then Christian lay out the urgency of all our security and what the next steps are and why I'm in the wheelchair. Kate were shocked by this news as she just looked at me. Christian spoke long and hard to Mia and Elliot with the help of Carrick in this matter. Now with everyone finally agreeing on their security. I looked at Mia. Her whole body language said she's annoyed by this turn of events.

'Mia…'

'Yes, Ana…' She smiled at me.

'I can see by your body language you are trying to think of ways of getting a strategy together to out maneuvering your security detail already. Please don't we are only doing this for your safety. We love you really much that is why we are doing this. So please bear with us it is only till we catch these evil people.' Her mouth drop to the table.

'How did you even know what I was thinking?' She asked.

'Well let's just say I developed an extra sense over the years to read people's body language to a fine art.' I confessed.

'Very well Ana, just because you asked me so nicely.' Mia continued.

'Thank you Mia.'

'Since when can you read people like this?' Kate finally asked.

'Since before we met my dear Kathrine but it is a sense you have to keep in training everyday.' I added.

'So what do you read from me then?' Kate asked.

'Well you are clearly frustrated with Elliot here, you two seriously need to talk things through in the privacy of your own home. You're current job application and interviews failed by the look in your eyes and your in need of some extra cash. Living with Ethan is also working on your nerves judging by your frown lines and your also in desperate need of an adventure.' By the tears in her eyes I would say I triggered all the right buttons.

'Elliot, you're an egotistical ass, your whole body screams it out. Your girlfriend is a true beauty in the rough that is seeking your undivided attention yet your years old settled ways sometimes get the better hand over you. If you don't give better attention to my best friend here you might lose your soul mate.' Elliot's eyes widen in surprise as I spoke very directly to him. 'You can be a very romantic man when you want to be, why not use that passion you show in your daily work toward your better half.' He turned to me.

'And me?' Mia asked me. Okay since the family asked for this. I lay it all out for them since they want to know so badly.

'Mia, energetic lovely spring fountain Mia. Always so full of live. Your passion for food and your family is very important to you. So embrace that sweet girl and we all have to except Mia for who she is, change is very hard for you sometimes and you have to guard your heart above all things Mia. Your better half will have to be like you to keep up or he will trail a few miles behind you.' I looked at her as I took her hand and squeeze it a little. I finally shut up and just looked around as they all stare wide eyes at me. I sat back in my wheelchair.

'And us Ana?' Grace asked me. I looked long and hard at Grace and Carrick.

'Mama, you love your work very much but your family is everything to you. You have difficult employees at work and you sometimes want to strangle them. You work extremely well under pressure. You love being a general surgeon but the ER is where you love to be. Your family time is very precious to you and you value every second of it with your kids and husband.'

'Papa, you're a workaholic and every case your take on is for the greater good. You don't take losing cases very well. Yet you rise above it and take one the next case to fight evil. Being a lawyer was your childhood dream ever since you saw your own father work on his case. Yet owning your own firm is your ultimate dream ever since you started on this career path. Then…' Oh dear I can't say this in front of everyone.

'Then what…? Ana?' Carrick prompted.

'I'll talk to you and mama privately later, about the rest.' Was all I said then looked at my hands in my lap.

'Very well.' He said as his voice broke a little. More silence fell around the dining room.

'Okay people come on now why all these long faces. Ana and Christian just got back from their lovely honeymoon, we should be celebrating not mope around about things that we already know of ourselves.' Mia spoke up and jumped up to grab the champagne.

'To Ana and Christian's continuing happiness into forever.' Mia cheered.

'Here! Here!' Everyone yelled happily. After that more casual conversations continued all over and I just sat quietly as I think over of the things I picked up on Carrick. He had a swift affair in his office but he got to uncomfortable about it and called it off. Later Carrick pushed my wheelchair to the den with Grace in tow we closed the door.

'Daddy I know this is none of my business that is why I haven't said anything in front of the others. You will have to tell mama about your affair.' Grace's head snapped up to Carrick and were instantly in silent tears. 'You picked up on that, sweet girl?' Carrick spoke and look a little defeated.

'Yes, that is an added sense on top of everything I can read.' I let them know. 'I am sorry daddy.'

'It's okay honey. It's better this way.' Carrick let me know. I wheeled myself out and the rest of us saw ourselves out while Grace and Carrick talk. On our drive home Christian asked me what I picked up on Carrick and I told him no need to keep secrets, not from one's husband. He wasn't even shocked by this news.

'I ruined everyone's evening, didn't I?' I asked as we were driven home.

'No, they wanted to know so you told all of them.' Christian turned to me and cupped my cheek. Taylor speed up as we started to swerve through traffic. 'What's going on Taylor?' Christian asked as he held me closer to his side.

'We are being followed Mr Grey.' Sawyer spoke up as he got on the phone with Ryan to open the basement parking lot door for us to just drive into. We raced from lane to lane as we raced towards the city.

'Are we going to die?' I ask starting to feel my eyes tear up.

'No, we are not. Taylor and Sawyer are both excellent at their jobs. We are safe in their hands.' Christian spoke looking into my eyes. We kept racing between the mild flowing traffic but the car that's chasing us just keeps up with us.

'Take the next exit Taylor we can cut him off?' I spoke up. We drove across two open lanes and waited till the last minute to shoot down the turn off. Our chasing car drove right pass us and we even have a green light at the traffic light Taylor almost drift around the right corner and raced off. We pass a shopping center parking garage and race in there and hide here for a few minutes. Sawyer let Ryan know to close the gate at Escala we are hiding in a parking garage.

Taylor jogged off to the opposite side of the floor we are parked on to see the main road below. Sure enough he saw the car drive past and down towards Escala. Once the car were out of sight, Taylor took off the number plates from the front and back of our car and lay them in the trunk. We drove on to Escala searching for the car that chased us. I was in shock and started shaking. Christian shrugged out of his jacket and wrapped me in his warm jacket.

'It's okay now Mrs Grey, everything is okay now.' He kissed the side of my head while he rubbed my back up and down. I just lay my head on his shoulder as he held me to him. We got to Escala and we raced into the basement garage. The basement garage door swiftly close behind us as we pull in on our parking space. Since I can't walk I'm being carried around like a rag doll. I was sat down in my wheelchair and we make it for the elevator. The elevator arrived and we all stepped in and head up.

Taylor punched in the penthouse code and we continue up going home. Christian lean down and kissed the top of my head. I smiled up at him. We arrived home and I was wheeled straight to our room and to our bathroom. Christian got our bath water running and I just sat there and thought about everything that happened tonight. I just sat forward in my chair and now with my head in my hands I started to cry because of the stress. I'm not a teary person I would rather flog or cane a client then cry like this.

'What now?' Christian asked clearly very annoyed with me tonight.

'Why couldn't we just stayed in Europe, we were so happy there. The millisecond we're back all this shit happens.' I finally look up at him as he sat on his knees in front of me.

'We're back because in the end of all fairy tale baby, reality sets in for all the princesses and everyday life happen. You don't think the queen of England get death threats like we do. She has MI-5 to handle all her death threats, we only have each other and our highly paid security to do it for us. As long as we stay close to our security we will be in safe hands.' He sat up on his knees on the tiles of our bathroom floor.

I just nod my head then whip my tears from my cheeks with my hand. He got up and turn off the water for our bath. He threw Epson salt in out bath for my feet and stir our bath water. Meanwhile I got undressed and ready to take my bath with Christian. I got in and the healing salt sting my feet. I bit my bottom lip not to yell and I got in and started to wash really fast then when I wanted to get out, Christian got in. I were about to get out when Christian stopped me.

'Come now, I know your feet hurt love. Please just try and stay a bit longer in the water.' I sat back against his chest as he sponge water over me. It would have been nice if my feet weren't hurting so bad. Come on Ana what is a little pain. You let your husband flog you to kingdom come and whip you senseless what is a little pain. I lay back and my head rest on Christian's shoulder and I fell asleep.

'Ana princess?' He called to me later.

'Mmm…' I mumbled.

'Come on baby wake up so I can get you out of the tub.' Christian spoke up. I drowsily woke up then was helped out of the tub. I dried off and got dressed for bed then I was carried to bed and tucked in. 'Come on angel, open your eyes and drink your medicine for me please.' I took my medication and drank it with a bit of water. I lay back down and saw Christian make for the door.

'Please Mr Grey don't leave me tonight. I'm… I'm still scared after what happened tonight.' He closed the door switched off his light on his night stand and climb into bed with me. He pulled me into his arms and kissed my forehead.

'Sweet dreams, Mrs Grey. I love you so- so much. I'm not going anywhere. I'm right here.'

'Love… you more, sexy… th… thank you for staying with… me…' I mumbled some more and I was gone as I feel Christian's chest rumble as he must have chuckled at me as I slur my sleepy words like an alcoholic.
