My Sincere apologies to everyone who is following this story. I have been having sorting out some RL issues which took most of my time. I am still sorting out few more issues. Once I have sorted out everything, I promise to update all my stories regularly.

'Your arm x-ray shows that the hairline fracture has healed. I will get the nurse to remove it later. Do you have any headache, vomiting or dizziness?'

'No… I am fine.'

I can't wait for this cast to be removed from my arm in fact, I add to myself.

'How is Christian?' Dr Grace asks me. I can't stop smiling.

'He is fine. He took good care of me.'

'I am glad that he did.' She smiles sheepishly. It has been a week I am staying at ESCALA and Christian took good care of me. He made sure I took proper food, medicines on time and he spent every evening talking to me. Over a week, I have learnt a lot about him. Even with all those shit he does behind those closed door, he is a very good man. His charity work impressed me. The number of people he is supporting is enormous. Gail kept the accident news away from my mom and she promised to keep it away. My mom will go ballistic if she knew about it.

'Alright Ana, you are good to go. I will give you few more days of MC and you can go back to work after that.'

'That won't be necessary. I would like to go back to work on Monday. It has been one whole week and I actually just joined a publishing house. It won't be appropriate to take such a long leave at the beginning of my career.'

'Very well then Ana. Take care… and take good care of Christian.'

I smile to myself thinking about Christian. Grace is a wonderful mother and I hate to think that Elena is a friend to this loving lady. But again, it is Christian's call on Elena. He kept mum when I asked him about the drive who hit me. Jason too. Something is telling me that they are keeping something away from me. I just can't lay my finger on it. a nurse then comes in and I asked if Gail could come in. She smiled and walked out to get my Aunt.

'I am going to be free…' I whispered like a school girl to Gail as she enters. The nurse started arranging different sizes of scissors and a mini saw.

'Is she going to cut the cast off or cut my arm off?' is whispered and Gail started laughing.

'It is standard. It depends on how hard your cast is. That saw is just to cut of the cast. It won't cut your arm off. Don't worry.'

Few minutes later, the nurse switch on the mini saw and she started to cut through the cast. Christian enters at that very moment and I saw a streak of horror on his face.

'What the hell is happening here!' he yells. The nurse jumped a little. Luckily she wasn't sawing at that moment.

'Rrrreemm….'

'Are you trying to cut off her arm?!'

'Christian…She is removing the cast. Stop shouting.' The nurse hurried out and returned just as I finished my sentenced.

'Christian Trevelyan Grey! Stop shouting within the hospital building.' Grace gives a stern warning from behind the nurse.

'Nurse Kelly, please continue.' And she sits beside me.

'Christian, you have to stop shouting. The nurse is just doing her job.'

'She is trying to hurt Ana!'

'She is trying to remove the cast! Christian, why did you come here?'

'I didn't know what is happening so I came over to check on Anastasia.'

'I am not a child Christian.' I tell him but couldn't stop laughing at his behavior. Gail too started laughing at his antics. The nurse started cutting through the cast after gaining her confidence that Christian will not say or do anything. She is done within few minutes and Dr Grey started checking my arm. Once she is happy, I got ready to leave.

'Anastasia, I will see you later for dinner. I have a meeting to attend now.'

'Thank you for coming Christian.' With a sweet smile, he leaves with Jason in his black SUV.

I leave with Gail to ESCALA. Gail got into preparing dinner and head to the library and decided to indulge myself in a book.

XXXXXXX

'Welcome on board.'

'Thank you Mr Grey.' Taylor finally found the perfect body guard for Anastasia. Luke Sawyer has worked with Jason before and a very reliable guy. He has signed he NDA and Jason has briefed him. Now it is up to Jason how is he going to explain it Anastasia.

'She will throw whatever that she gets in her hand to me.' I say holding my breath but it was loud enough for Taylor to hear. He laughed out loud and nods. To think of Ana throwing a fuss over the bodyguard plays in my head.

'I will talk to Annie. She is stubborn but we can't tell her the actual reason why we are putting a security with her.'

'Elena will strike back. She is a wounded snake now. She will definitely strike back. I am sorry Jason. I didn't want to put Annie in danger but…'

'Christian, I know you are a good man. I know you have Annie's best interest in heart. I know you won't break her.'

That little speech touched my heart. I must win Anastasia's heart.

'Give me few minutes to wrap up. I will leave in another 15 minutes.'

'Sure. I will bring the car to the entrance. Luke will be meeting us at ESCALA at 9 tonight so I could brief him on all the necessary protocols, procedures and hand him all his gadgets'.

'Hopefully that will give time for Ana to settle down.'

'Hopefully…' he breathes and leaves my office. Thank god he took the responsibility of talking to Ana about the bodyguard. After wrapping up for the day, I head home, to Anastasia.

I know she is well now and she would like to go to work. She would like to move back to her apartment. I can't stop her… I could if I want to but I won't She must come to me willingly.

'Where is Anastasia?'

'She said she will be in the library.' Gail replies and heads to the security room with a smile on her face. I head to the library just to find a fast asleep angel with Tess D'Urberville on her chest. She looks so peaceful. Even after knowing all the shits I have gone through, she is still smiling away in my house. She trusts me. She slowly started to trust me. I trace my thumb along her jaws and she stirs and opens her beautiful big blue eyes.

'Christian…' she says with a just woke up voice.

'Anastasia… sorry if I woke you up. '

'I was trying to stay awake but I dozed off.'

'It's fine. I just came back and Gail said you are in library.'

She smiles and starts to get up.

'Dinner?' She asks while slipping the book back to the rack.

'Famished.'

As we walk to the breakfast bar, Anastasia asked about my day. After serving us, Gail disappears to the security room. We chatted away through dinner. After dinner, Anastasia dropped the topic that I was dreading.

'I would like to go back to work on Monday.' She says biting an apple. What?!

'Anastasia, your arm … it is …'

'Doctor said that I am fine… The doctor is your mother. I trust her.'

'Take another week off Anastasia.'

'No… I am bored. I am going back to work. Could you please send me back to my apartment tomorrow?' she asks with a raised eyebrow. Is she trying to challenge me?

'Mr Grey, code yellow.' Taylor's strained voice catches my attention.

'Security room?'

'Immediately sir.'

'Anastasia, I will see you later. I need to attend to something.' I look at Anastasia and she smiles.

'Code yellow eh… quick before it becomes orange. See you tomorrow Christian.' And she sway away to her room upstairs.

'What is it Taylor?' I asked Taylor and he looks strained.

'Sir, someone is trying to hack into our network at ESCALA. If they hack, they will also gain access to the apartment.'

'Get Barney to trace the source.'

'Barney is on it now. I need your approval to change access code to the apartment.'

'Let's go to the security room. I want to see where the threat is originating from.' We walk to security room and Sawyer, the new security is also typing away on a laptop.

'Sawyer is assisting Barney in the trace. Sawyer has done his masters in Network Security.' Taylor fills me with Sawyer's details.

'Good team member. Do we have a suspect?' I get down to business.

'I have traced the location. It is originating from a residential area. I need another two minutes.'

'Is my home office computer protected?'

'Yes sir. Sawyer has disconnected your desktop from the network and disabled your laptop's network connection the moment we detected the threat.

'Got it!' Sawyer says. Within seconds her hands me a paper with the address.

'SHIT!' I whistle silently.

'This is messy Christian..' Taylor says staring at the monitor which is also blinking the address.
