I hated the concept that I couldn't even meet up with an old friend without some security following my every move. I had to give it to Sawyer though; he was doing a good job at following close behind without hanging at my back. I liked him for giving me my space, that's something that I needed right now. I needed to feel in control and when Christian is hovering over me I don't have any say in things. Jose was hanging out at the bar talking to some blonde.
"Hi," I say as I approach them. Jose drops her hand and turns to look at me.
"Wow, Ana you have lost some weight. Doesn't that man of yours feed you?" he questions eyeing me up.
"Jose, I eat. I have been so busy lately with work and all that I just look good," I say looking around to pinpoint where Sawyer was. I noticed him about half way across the room trying to act casual. I smiled to let him know I saw him, and then turned my attention to José.
"So what is it like being Christian Grey's wife," Jose asks almost snippy like it was killing him. I knew Jose didn't like Christian but I thought that things would be better once he knew I would never be his.
"It's not really different than my life before. I mean we go out to dinner like normal couples, hang out at home together and just enjoy each other's company," I say trying hard to keep a calm face knowing that this was what we did before I got knocked up.
We spent the next half hour chatting about his work; I learned that he had spent the last several weeks touring the landmarks here in the states taking pictures for various magazines. It was nice to hear how excited he was over his work. I knew he was a great photographer, but never really heard how passionate he was about his work. I listened very closely as he gave details of all the different sights he had seen and the news that he was asked to go to Puerto Rico to do a photo shoot there in the next couple of weeks.
I must have sipped on my drink all throughout him talking and was getting dizzy. I was having a hard time focusing on him at the moment or what he was saying. I felt sick to my stomach. I tried to stand but clumsily slipped back up against the counter of the bar. I tried to find Sawyer, but just as I found him I had the need to throw up. So I quickly but wobbly pushed people out of my way to get to the bathroom just in time to fling myself down in the first stall and start to heave.
"Mrs. Grey," I vaguely heard Sawyer ask. My head was spinning faster and faster as I retched into the toilet.
"Christian," I mumbled as darkness took me.
**********************Fifty Shades Shattered**********************
I watched Mrs. Grey carefully walk into the bar and look for the person that she was meeting up with. I noticed that he was leaning into another woman before Mrs. Grey had gotten to them. It was kind of strange to watch Mrs. Grey interacting so easily with this man. I had taken a photo and sent it to Taylor to let him know who we were dealing with.
Taylor had sent me his info; Jose Rodriquez a photographer. He had just come back from several photo shoots of the national landmarks here in the states. I was impressed this guy didn't seem to fit the bill of a photographer. Taylor told me to keep an extra eye on Mrs. Grey because of a run in a couple of months ago with him before she married Mr. Grey.
It must have been some time later that I noticed Mrs. Grey seem to lose her balance and then half run wobble to the bathroom room. I phoned Preston to detain Jose as I followed Mrs. Grey. I found her half way into the first bathroom stall all hunched over the toilet dry heaving. She didn't look well at all.
"Mrs. Grey," I ask but she only mumbled one word, "Christian." I tried to wake her but she was lifeless. I checked her pulse and called both 911 and Taylor.
"Taylor, we have a problem," I say as I go into detail of what was going on. I was reassured when he told me to stay with her and go to the hospital with her. He would have Christian and meet us there.
"Hang in there Ana," I say trying to hold her, she was so still. I kept checking her pulse to make she was still alive, it was still very faint. I heard a commotion outside the door and knew it was either the one person who could kill me or if I was lucky the Police. As the door open in came a monster.
"What the hell happened?" Mr. Grey yelled as he pushed me aside to take my place with Mrs. Grey.
"I don't know," I said.
**********************Fifty Shades Shattered**********************
I was sitting in my study going over some of the concepts for a new business I wanted to buy when there was a knock at the door.
"Come in," I called out as I continued to work.
"Sir, Sawyer sent over a photo of the person Mrs. Grey was meeting up with," Taylor said carefully.
"And," I questioned tensed now looking up from my files.
"It is Jose Rodriquez, Sir," He replied.
"What?" I questioned. I had half a mind to go to where ever she was and place her over my knee. Right now she deserved a good spanking.
"Sir," Taylor questioned me bringing me from my thoughts.
"Have Sawyer watch more carefully and if she needs removed from the situation make she he does his job," I say trying to keep my tone even.
"Very well, Sir," Taylor says as he exits the study.
I was not very happy right now. I thought Ana would be trying to work things out with me and not some dirt bag who tried to use her. Just the thought of her drinking with that lowlife dug at my soul, didn't she know what I felt for her. Was she trying to send me a final notice, was this her way of telling me we were over?
No, this can't be how it ends. She promised me to always love me and to stand by my side. She can't leave me. Hell, I won't let her leave. If it means I'll have to tie her to the bed, that's exactly what I'll do. I was interrupted yet again by a knock on the door. I was pissed.
"Come in," I yelled.
"Sir," Taylor said sounding alarmed.
"What," I snapped.
"Sawyer, just called. There seems to be something wrong with Mrs. Grey. Sawyer thinks she was drugged. He's called the….." he was speaking but I cut him off.
"What the hell are you waiting for?" I snapped as I jumped up from my chair. He was behind the wheel as we sped through town to wear Ana was. Shit, I will kill the person who hurt her. If it's Jose, he's dead. Taylor explained to me that Sawyer was with Ana, and Preston was keeping an eye on Jose. He even went on to tell me that Ana asked for me before she blacked out.
I jumped out of the car before Taylor even pulled to a stop. I made my way quickly to the bathroom.
"Hang in there Ana," I hear Sawyer say as I barged through the door. I know I must have looked livid because he seemed to tense up at the sight of me.
"What the hell happened?" I yelled as I pushed him aside. I wanted to hold my wife. God I wanted to hold her, but not like this. I wasn't happy at all that my love was just a shell of a person and it was my fault. I made her this thin. If I hadn't made her live when she told me about the baby. Shit!
"I don't know," he said. I wanted to punch him for those words. How the hell did he not know what happened. He recounted the evening and there didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary. He went on to say Ana only sipped on the wine, but stuck mostly on water. I was proud of her.
As he finished up with his details the paramedics started to enter. I allowed them to take her. I grabbed Sawyer's arm as I began to follow them out of the bar, to the waiting Ambulance.
"You are coming with me," I say as I let go of his arm looking over to Taylor I nod knowing full well he knew what to do. Sawyer followed me into the back of the Ambulance much to the paramedics dislike.
Once we got to the Hospital My mom was waiting there in the ER for us along with my dad. I numbly climbed out of the back of the Ambulance.
"I will take care of her," my mom said trying to reassure me. All I could do was make a small nod. My life was empty without her.
"Come, Christian," my dad says as he gently leads the way into the waiting room where Sawyer follows me. For some reason I needed him close to me. He was there for Ana when I wasn't.
**********************Fifty Shades Shattered**********************
Damn it, again that Bitch seems to have more lives than a friggin cat. Why couldn't I see the security following her. Shit, he isn't leaving her side. How the am I going to get to her. I thought for sure she would have downed the wine. I am glad that she drank most of the water. I knew for sure there was no way she would be able to survive the toxins. It was enough to kill an army. I'm surprised she even made it to the bathroom without dropping dead. Soon enough though she will be gone, out of the picture, then I will take back what's mine. Grey likes it dirty I can play dirty just as well.
