Chapter 1


Here I am working late so I can see Jack off to his conference in New York. I realized that I haven't had anything to eat today and with that knowledge of Christian getting mad at me for not having anything to eat all day is going to be much worse to my behind than anything else. Oh, my fifty and his twitchy palms. Hmmm…. The thought of it somehow is kind of delicious when that silver balls is worked into the mix of things.

I made sure all my days work is done and saved on my computer as I turned off my computer and got all Jack's things ready on my desk for him to take along to New York. Once everything with all done, Jack's documents were ready on my desk for him, I made my way over to the kitchen to see if I can find any form of cookies or something with some tea.

I was still busy rummaging through the cupboards for any form of a quick fix of food when the kitchen door open and a click of it being locked. I turned around in a hurry. It was Jack and he had such dark sinister look in his eyes following me up and down the length of my body. Giving me shivers as huge warning bells signal in my head.

It gave me the chills and I continuous shivers ran up and down my body as he walked over to me. With my blackberry in my sweater pocket, I quickly press the speed dial on my phone. I faintly heard Christian's voice on the other side.

'Jack, what can I help you with?'

'Stop giving me that innocent act, Ana. I know your rich ivy ledge boyfriend somehow screw with the New York trip.'

'I have no idea what you are talking about Jack. Are you alright?' My voice sounds even filled with panic to me.

'I have took the liberty to check your e-mails and found you have mailed your boyfriend more times, then you should have work. But what I found very interesting Ana is all his e-mails to you where missing. Now why is that? Hmmm…' Oh crap, our back and forth banter today. I forgot to delete all of them. My heart is in my throat as it tried to chock me with fear. I feel the bail raise in my throat.

'You know I had to fight Elizabeth to get you. She wanted to get someone better qualified for the position but I saw the potential in you.'

'What are you babbling about Jack? You are making no scenes.' If I keep him talking maybe I can figure out what he is thinking or planning since he locked the kitchen door.

'Are you a spy for you're ivy ledge boyfriend?'

'Huh? You just said you had to fight to get me to be your assistant. How can I be a spy then?'

'Your work has became sloppy and we can make some sort of arrangement to erase this current situation. Maybe if you keep me happy, we can erase this misunderstanding.' What? Is he blackmailing me? For what, "sex"? This is just way beyond sickening. I just kept staring at him in disbelieve. More fear is set in and I am starting to feel really nausea's and I had to fight to not to faint at all. I was completely immobile with fear. He swaggered his way closer to me and stood right in front of me. My breathing is so irregular like when you just finished a hard run on a tread mill.

'That's a good girl. See you are already do turned on. I can tell and read all the signs.' He spoke and with the back of his index finger slide it over the contours of my face to my chin. The whole time swallowing back my gagging reflexes. He moved down to my throat and to my chest where the top button of my blouse were open. His next move I did not for see coming at all. He tripped me and was on top of me so fast, on the kitchen floor, in a mille second. He was pinning me down, pulling my gray skirt up and when I tried to fight him off.

'Get off me Jack!' I repeated a couple of times. He ignored me, then just hit me twice across my face really hard then, I calmed my mind while he tried to find his way to my panties he tore to pieces along with my stockings he ripped to bits. He hit me one more time across the face that I saw stars. I never stopped fighting. He force his way between my legs and almost found his way in. When I gave him a really hard elbow in his stomach then with the rest of my strength I went for his groin. Then when I got to my feet again, I saw that he already had a certain part of his anatomy out hang through his pants zipper. He held himself and when I stood up again I kick him in the groin once more.

'You bitch!' He yelled.

'Don't you ever touch me again! And in the future get your own damn coffee, you lazy bastard.' I yelled back at him. I unlock the kitchen door and ran for my things at my desk while I try to reassemble to straighten my cloths. I grabbed my jacket and handbag. I was running to the exit door at the front of the building when I could still hear Jack cursing in agony on the kitchen floor.

I got out side of the building, right into the night's light drizzle of Seattle's rain. I faintly notice the black Audi SUV pulling up at the curb when I was really sick in the buildings flower beds. After I was done, I sunk to the ground on the SIP side walk. Two figures dressed in black suite ran over to me in slow motion.

'Ana!' Christian yelled as he reached me first.

'Ch-Christian…' I muttered and I finally fainted. I came too slightly with my eyes rolling to the back of my head.

'Where is that bastard?' Christian insisted.

'Kitchen.' I muttered. Taylor's hovering face disappeared into the building and unconsciousness took me completely as Christian's arms of safety wrapped around me. I felt myself being picked off the cold wet side walk and being carried to the car. I was lied down on the back seat of the SUV and locked in. I'm safe and I'm with the man I love. I never thought I would ever be this grateful for the safety and security of Christian, he always makes me feel so safe when we are together. Then total darkness took me completely.
