Chapter 2
A long while after Christian lay me down in the back of the car, they got back into the car again and the three of us drove off.
'Where to sir?'
'The hospital Taylor. My mother is awaiting our arrival.'
'Yes, sir.' We drove off in the direction of the hospital. At the hospital Christian carried me into the emergency room. My arms and legs are having a burning itch to them. I bet it is where Jack scratched me to get to his target.
'Christian darling what happened to pour Ana?' Grace asked.
'Ana's boss attached her like this.'
'What? Poor angel.' Grace and the sympathy in her voice was genuine.
'Mom, I was so scared. She press her speed dial when all this started and I heard ever single thing he was doing and saying to her. I didn't know what we would find once we reached her at SIP.'
'It's okay angel we notify the police and report him and give them all the evidence we find on her.' Grace gave Christian's hand a good squeeze. As she disappear with the rest of the emergency staff.
Christian sat in the waiting area, awaiting for any news. He bend over, rest his head in his hands as his fingers racked his hair. An hour later Grace strolled over to Christian.
'Mom.'
'Christian, we really have a fighter here. She put up a great fight her hands, arms and inner thighs all have long rather deep scratch marks on them. We found seamen on her inner thigh but nothing inside of her. I have to warn you honey her face is turning blue. He must have hit her really hard.'
'Yes he did I could hear it through the phone. He have done that three times to her.'
'Wait and she still put up one hell of a fight?'
'It looks that way, mom. We just left Grey House when she called me and we really hurried over to her once I heard what was going on. Traffic was bad and held us back quite a bit.'
'Still you got to her in time honey.'
'Yes, we could have been there sooner. Mom I can't afford to lose her she really means to the world to me.'
'We all saw when you two came around to the dinner the other night, and of course at the charity gala. We are all so happy for you. You finally found someone. We are all so happy for you darling.' He gave her a tired smile and she took his hand.
~~~~~OoO~~~~~
The next morning I woke up and I was laying on Christian's lap in our room at Escala. Christian was asleep laying his head back against the head board as he slept sitting up watching me. I couldn't move or else I would wake him up. The event's of what I think was last night came rushing back to me and I tense up and tears started running down my face silently. My slight movement must have woke Christian somewhat as he stir and brush my hair from my face. I flinch a little when he touched my face.
'Hey.' He whispered as he dried my tears.
'Hey.' I sniff. 'How long have I been out of it?'
'A whole day.' He responded.
'What?' I sat up to quickly and the whole room spun out of control.
'Steady baby.' Christian said laying my back down on my pillow gently. I ache all over like someone got to me with a ten pound hammer all over. I screw my eyes shut as to get rid of all the spinning.
'What happened?' I manage to speak a few words.
'Well when you pressed your speed dial, Taylor and I just left Grey House and we raced our way to pick you up. When you called me and I heard everything that low life where saying to you. I told Taylor to drive as fast as we could to get to you. I got Berney my IT man on Taylor's phone and told him what I want him to do. Then I heard loud noises on your end and I guess now that it is when he gave you this.' Christian hand me a large hand held mirror and I saw my black and blue face. Yes I remember Jack slapping me around. I touched my cheek.
'Ouch…' I whispered.
'Easy now. You were in a rather intense fight. He scratched you and you clearly fought him. I am proud of you baby and I am also really mad at you. I have told you countless times your e-mails are being monitored that you should use your blackberry for our e-mails. I took care of everything, so please- please use your blackberry in the future.'
'Yes, sir. I really am sorry Christian.'
'It's okay now baby. So when we got the SIP your were being violently ill in the building flower beds, once you were done you staggered to your feet and by that time I was at your side and your fainted a little into my arms. You came to just to whisper and answer me where that … beast was. If I think of it now I should have killed him for what he has down to you baby. So I carried you to the car and also went into the building where Taylor tied him up with an unused telephone cord and he called police and filed a assault and we later added a attempted rape charge against Jack Hyde once my mother looked you over.
We drove you to the hospital where my mother and her team looked you over from top to bottom. She took pictures of you for the police and she showed them to me and it made me so furious, what that good for nothing excuse of a man done to you. I wanted to strangle him with my bare hands for what he done to you and how he treated you. You have scratch marks on your arms and inner thighs and around your ankles.' Christian clenched his jaw the whole time to control his anger.
'Thank you for coming to safe me, when you did.'
'Thank you for pressing speed dial when you did.' He said kissing my forehead lightly.
'Then what happened after your mother looked me over?'
'We brought you home and you where still out of it till you woke up a while ago.'
'I see. What happened to Jack?'
'I fired his ass on the spot. The things Berney found on his computer at work was, rather disturbing and alarming.'
'So I guess I don't have a job anymore.' I spoke turning to look at Christian better.
'No baby, you still have a job. Just because Jack is gone doesn't mean you're without a job. I promised you I wouldn't interfere with your career baby and I haven't. Roach on the other hand told me to tell you that you take your time healing and once your better you should go and see him.'
'Oh, okay.' I looked over to the alarm clock over at Christian's side of the bed. Nine, twenty five PM.
'You hungry?' He asked me.
'Yes but only a little. This whole episode has suppress my appetite somewhat.'
'Mrs Jones made us some great omelets and we saved yours in the microwave. Would you like it now?'
'Yes please.' I spoke and slowly tried to sit up. Christian strolled out of the room and I took up my blackberry that was on my bedside table and I have three text's two from my mother and one from Ray. Christian must have called them with news of what happened to me. I don't think I can deal with mom or Ray at this time. I just read their text's and put my phone back on my bedside table. Christian strolled back into our room with a tray he was carrying. He placed it on my lap and I started to eat.
'It is so great to see you awake and eating.' He spoke and took my one hand and kissed the back of my hand. I pulled his hand towards me and kissed the palm of his hand. I continued eating and we talked about this and that.
'This is really delicious as always.' I spoke as my face started to ache and I wench a little in pain.
'What is wrong Ana?'
'It's my face it's aching really bad, my cheeks are really sore now.'
'Mother prescribe you some medication and gave you two weeks sick leave note.'
'What two weeks? I can't stay of work for two weeks Christian. I have to get back to work I have a huge student loan I still have to pay off.'
'Ana please calm down. All is taken care off. Would you really like to go out with your face all bruised up like this?' He spoke wanted to hand me the mirror again. I just shook my head. Maybe he is right. No amount of make-up will ever cover all this black and blue bruises. I started to cry again as the event with Jack flash through my head again and I lost my appetite completely.
'Hush now baby. You're safe now.' Christian moved to my side again taking the tray from my lap and placed it on the end table near the door. He folded his arms around me.
'Christian do you know how wonderful you really are?' I told him through my tears.
'You're the one with super powers here baby.' He spoke kissing the top of my head. I wrap my arms around his waist. We later on took a shower together and he looked me over from head to toe. I could see his anger very clear on his face as he sponged me down. He ordered me not to move around too much. So he is washing me. He ordered to turn me around and he set in to wash my hair. It all felt so nice. He quickly washed himself and we got out. He wrapped me in a large fluffy white towel and carried me back into our room.
'Christian you know I can still do things myself.'
'I know baby, but please let me do this for you please.'
'Very well.' He carried on drying me and getting me dressed in one of his t-shirts. We both got into bed.
'Did you call my mother and Ray?' I asked while we lay in the dark.
'Yes, I had to Ana.'
'I understand why you had to do it. I'm not mad, I just don't have the energy to face them both right now.'
'It's understandable baby. Now calm down and sleep. Your safe, now.' He said kissing the side of my head as I drift off.
