Chapter 3 - The Lost Child

Ana

We've been driving for hours and I have no idea where we are. We've driven down an old run down road and now we've finally stopped in front of an old farm house, which looks like it is about to collapse any second.

"What, not what you've expected? Well, we can't all live in mansions." The woman hisses and points her gun at me again.

Having no other choice I walk inside the building and the smell alone makes me want to vomit. The smell of feces and urine is so strong it's overwhelming.

"No bathrooms, you'll get used to it." She shrugs and pushes me onto an old dirty mattress by the oven. I somehow manage to land on my knees and not my belly and due to utter exhaustion I just lay down, even though the mattress smells just as bad as the rest of the house.

"Why am I here?" I finally ask and she laughs.

"I told you, your husband made my life hell... I'm just returning the favor." She laughs bitterly and I take a good look at her. She is short, has long brown hair and a petite frame just like... oh fuck!

"You are one of them... a former sub." I gasp and she claps her hands.

"Clever girl, I was his last sub... before you ruined him... before you ruined everything!" She snarls at me.

"I didn't do anything... we fell in love and..."

"And nothing, now shut the fuck up or I'll kick that little brat out of you." She screams and I wrap my arms around my belly immediately. She is crazy ... oh god, I need to come up with a plan to get me out of here!

"Momma?" I suddenly hear a small scared voice and my heart nearly stops when a small girl stumbles into the room.

She is dressed in a dirty old dress, which is ripped in several places and at least three sizes too large for her tiny frame. Her long hair is so greasy and dirty that I can't even tell the color and I can tell from her whole demeanor that she is scared of her mother.

"Did I allow you to come out?" She woman snaps at the child I get the urge to get up and hug the poor girl.

"I-I'm so-sorry momma... I-I'm hungry." She whispers in a small voice and as she steps into the light of the ceiling lamp my heart nearly stops. Her eyes... I would recognize these eyes everywhere... she has Christian's eyes.

The gasp escapes my mouth before I can stop it and the woman gives me a fuck you smirk.

"Looks like you weren't the first to give birth to Grey's spawn of evil after all." She says and I can't believe she would refer to her own child like that.

"She is Christian's daughter?"

"Yes... Emily get the fuck out of here or you'll regret it." She snaps at the child, which takes off immediately.

"Now, let me tell you a little story... I was a model... I had a great career ahead of me and I liked it a little rough. So, my friend Elena helped to become a submissive for the rich and famous in Seattle. Christian was my most generous Dom, but I knew that he had a reputation for getting bored with his subs fast... and that he didn't like to use condoms. So, I forgot to take my birth control every now and then believing that carrying the Grey heir would get me a good life. It didn't happen until the very last week of the contract we had and I made sure to stay away until an abortion was out of question... but then you showed up and fucked with his head. Elena told me he didn't even want to see our child, much less care for it. And there I was no money, no job, no Dom, just a fucking baby... No Dom wanted me after I gave birth, I was too fat and couldn't be at their beck and call with a baby. All I had were unpaid bills, shitty diapers and vomit. And then you popped back into his life and he became a family man. It's not fucking fair, but I'll have my revenge... first I make him go insane with worry and then, I'll go after his money. 50 million for your life and another 50 million for the life of the little bastard you are carrying... and just when he thinks all is going to be well, he'll find out that he had a daughter he couldn't save. A daughter who was beaten and hungry all of her life, just like he was back with his birthmother, only his own child will never get a happy ending and you are here to witness her death... poor thing hasn't had food for days now... what do you thing... how much longer can she make it?" The woman asks and I feel tears rolling down my face... she wants to kill her own child... let her starve to death... I have to keep the girl safe.

"Oh what's the matter, Anastasia? Are you sad?" She mocks me and I glare at her through my tears.

"Come on, momma bear... believe me that little brat is a waste of time, she is annoying and demanding and just as fucked up as her father... no one can love her, not even you." She says and I speak before she can say anything else.

"If you let her live I'll make sure you get double of what you want. Please, she is just an innocent child..."

"Innocent child my ass... she is nothing but an annoying piece of shit that has ruined my life! And if you want to live long enough to see your oh so perfect family again, you better keep your mouth shut! Now, hold your wrists together!" She orders and before I can do anything about it she has tied my wrists and ankles.

"It won't be for long, just a couple of days and we be all free... well in one way or another." She laughs and leaves me lying there on the dirty mattress, tied up and cold.

Even though I am completely exhausted I fight with myself to stay awake, too afraid to even think about what this woman might be capable of.

Sometime later I must have dozed off, but startle awake when I feel someone wrap me in a blanket.

"Shhh! Momma will get mad if she sees me, but you where shaking in your sleep." The girl whispers.

"Thank you, I'm Ana and you?"

"Emily... can I ask you something?" She asks while staring wide eyed at my belly.

"Yes, sure."

"What happened to your belly?" She asks and I frown, she must be ten most likely soon to be eleven, how can she not know what a pregnant woman looks like?

"I am pregnant, Emily... there is a baby growing in my belly."

I look at her in the dim light of the room and it dawns on me that she really doesn't know what I am talking about.

"When was the last time you have left the house, Emily?"

"Back when Grandma and Grandpa were still here." She murmurs sadly and all I want is to help this poor child.

"Do you remember how old you were when they died?"

"Five or six."

"I'm sorry, Emily... do you want to feel the baby? She is moving." I tell her and very tentatively she puts her hand on my belly.

"She?"

"Her name is Aria, she has to stay in my belly just a couple more weeks, then she is ready to be born."

"Aria sounds pretty... don't leave her here, momma will hurt her." She whispers and I wish I wasn't tied up, so I could hug her.

"That's momma." Emily gasps when we hear a noise and runs back to where she came from.

I lay awake for most of the night, trying to come up with a plan to get myself and Emily out of here, without putting Aria or myself at risk... fact is, I won't watch this little girl die... I'll bring her home!

Taylor

The last 24 hours have been a nightmare. Ana is still missing and we have no clue who kidnapped her. All we got is a blurry picture of a traffic camera, which only shows very little of the driver. Just enough to tell it's a woman. So now, we have compiled a list with every woman we know of who might have a reason to hurt the Grey's.

On top of that list was Sam's birthmother, but she moved to California right after she was released from jail and she is still there. We could get a hold of 13 out of the 15 former subs of Mr. Grey. They are all in the clear, but there are still Susannah Evans and Bethany Potter, who we couldn't find so far.

These two bitches better not be involved or I'll kill them myself. I want say that all of these women were bad news, but both Susannah and Bethany were nothing but gold digging sluts.

Apart from that we have people Grey put out of business and of course the possibility that it is just a crazy stalker, which in my opinion would be worse, because it would make tracing them even harder.

All the Grey's and Ana's family have gathered in the Hampton residence of the Grey's and Welch has sent down 15 security guys from GEH, making this place as safe as it gets.

I'm worried about Mr. Grey though. He has holed himself up in his study and is staring at his phone, waiting for the kidnapper to make his demands. The police is listening to any incoming call, but so far we have heard nothing and deep down I know that it is a bad sign.

Luke wanted to resign... Grey however wouldn't let him, instead he beat the hell out of him and told him that if it was up to him, he would fire his ass on the spot, but Ana wouldn't want that.

Luke's days as Ana's CPO however are over. Fucking hell, what possessed him to let her walk into the fucking woods alone? We all know that Ana likes to be independent and sometimes doesn't see danger where she should, but Luke should have insisted to go with her or get the damn soccer ball for her. Instead he allowed her to go alone and now she is missing...

I know he regrets it and feels this is all his fault, but I can't find any sympathy for him right now. He is trained for shit like that, he always has to be on alert, but he allowed the friendship Ana and he have built over the years to cloud his judgment and it could result in Ana's death and the death of her unborn child.

The police wants us to go public if the kidnapper doesn't get in contact with us within the next couple of hours, but I'm not so sure. This could turn into a manhunt pretty fast and while it would be good to have even more people looking for Ana, it could also mean that we are exposing Ana to even more danger.

Cross and Grey both told the police no for now, but maybe if we can't find Ana quickly, this will is what is need to be done.

"Taylor?" I turn around to find Elliot walking towards me... his usually smiling face is as serious as it gets and I am again reminded that we have to find Ana ASAP.

"Any news?" I ask.

"No, look, I don't want Christian to know, because he is already at breaking point, but Gideon just told me that Ana where having braxton hicks all the time yesterday and he thinks... you know that it might have been actual labor... we need to find her Jason, there is no more time left."

"Fuck! Fuck, fuck, fuck!" I yell out and punch the wall. This is a nightmare... if Ana doesn't make it... damn I don't even want to think about it.

"Jason, don't sugarcoat me okay... if this was about money, they would have been in contact with us by now, right?" Elliot asks and slowly I nod.

"Fuck! I should have gone with her... why did I decide to stay here with Kate... I could have prevented this from happening..."

"Son, please, blaming yourself is not going to help Ana." Carrick Grey says as he approaches us.

"Who would do that, Dad? Why would anyone be crazy enough to kidnap a heavily pregnant woman?" Elliot asks and judging by the look on Carrick Grey's face, he is thinking the same thing I do.

The kidnapper is a female, there hasn't been a call demanding money and Ana is a heavily pregnant woman. Some women go insane when they can't have a child and very few are crazy enough to kidnap a pregnant woman to cut the baby out of her or wait for the woman to give birth to steal her child... I hope to hell this is not what the kidnapping is all about.

"Elliot, you should go and sit with your mother and wife, they are both very upset and crying again."

Elliot turns to leave, while Carrick Grey stays with me.

"You know what I am thinking right?" He asks in a low voice.

"Yes, but I can't allow myself to think like that, Sir. Not as long as there are other possibilities. We still have a couple of open leads."

"I know... I just feel like we need to prepare ourselves for the worst." He says sadly and for the first time since I have met this men, he really does look his age.

"We'll find her, Sir. I promise." I mutter and excuse myself as my phone rings. Please let this be good news...
