I DO NOT own the books or the characters. This is just a FanFic.
I haven't had any time to check for errors so there is probably a lot!
Everything moves past us at above ninety per hour; I'm practically glued to my seat.
For the first time ever, I'm actually terrified that Christian is behind the wheel of a moving vehicle. He's never been this reckless before and I'm starting to worry. Horns have been firing at us for the past ten minutes but not once has he bother to take notice; he just keeps looking ahead and continues to speed. His back is slouched over the wheel far too much as his hands are firmly clutched over the leather steering wheel; he looks like he's concentrating real hard. I guess I should at least be thankful he's not distracted.
I've asked Christian to slow down but he wont. It's like he cannot hear me as he's in some sort of trance like state. I've pondered with hitting the emergency break but I know that would be even worse as there are cars behind us. I yawn and look out the window.
I'm more than disappointed about the possibility that Rick might be after me-us. He was pleasant to work with as he was quiet knowledgeable with English Literature. I even considered him a friend. It's hard thinking that Elena was the one who 'hired' him to do this to us and all this time he was nice to me was all an act. How did I not see that?
I wonder what's going on with her anyways. She has turned very hateful towards both of us. It use to be just me but now Christian has been wrapped into it as well. I suspect that maybe she has finally realized that Christian will never be hers.
There are mounds of worry between Christian and I. But thanks to having each other by are sides, we manage to not be as worried as if we were apart. The way Elena has chosen to deal with this has gotten out of hand. He tried the simple closure rout years ago when we were still dating and noting came of it. Nothing since has. In reality, it's just gotten worse. Much much worse. I trust whoever is watching her for us is as good as Taylor.
There's a set of lights ahead and we come to a stop. Christian remains in his position; not even moving a finger. I have a few more fears than normal right now. Number one; I don't want us to be the cause of a accident and number two; I don't want us to be in one-especially with the unknown state of my womb. I can't even bare to think of what that would do to us, especially if Christian never knew about the pregnancy in the first place. I suspect Christian would spend the rest of his life blaming himself and would most likely get into a depressive sate. Me on the other hand would probably go the same way, just the majority of my guilt would be for not saying anything to slow him down.
I can't risk having any that happen. If telling him I'm pregnant is the only way to slow him down, I'll do it.
"Christian?" My hand brushes his shoulder and I run it back and forth softly. He doesn't react.
"Christian? Baby?" He growls as I shake his shoulder quite roughly. He snaps his head over to me and I'm taken aback. Both his eyebrows are frowned as his eyes are burning with something far more worse than I've ever seen. They are far past his dom eyes as I am use to those.
"What's Anastasia?" He asks slowly.
I take a gulp of air before I speak. Is now a good time to say I might be pregnant?
You have to, it's the only way he'll slow down!
She right, I have no choice. I look down at my hands and fumble with my ring."C-Christian, I'm a bit scared of-"
"Me-You-You're scared of me?" My head darts up and I meet Christian eyes. The've softened and his hands have fallen from the wheel. I open my mouth to say something but he takes over. "Is it my driving? Ana I'm sorry it's just we need to get back quickly. Taylor and Sawyer are waiting for us and I need to figure some stuff out. I'll slow down for you, ok?"
I nod. This was not how I envisioned this conversation going but none the least it worked. Now I can take the test without him knowing. And possible not having an argument in this car.
He studies my face for a moment while he grinds his teeth, "Is there something else Ana?"
"No." I lie. He raises an eyebrow. "Maybe."
"You know I'll find out." His eyes move towards the bag in which I push back with my foot. Christian sighs with frustration and looks ahead. We spend the rest of the journey back in near silence, going at a reasonable speed.
We enter our room...apartment whatever it is and see Taylor and Sawyer around the mahogany dining table looking at quite a few papers. Christian tells me to go back to bed and let him handle this but I'm not going until he does. This after all is about my former boss who took that photo of me-not him. But I do understand that he is just trying to protect me from harm. With everything that's going on lately, I do have to let him get his way sometimes. This however will not be one.
"Mr. Grey, Mrs. Grey." Taylor greets us while Sawyer vigorously copies something down into a small notebook. He stands, excuses himself and leaves the room.
"What's do we got?" Christian snaps and Taylor doesn't even flinch.
He clears his throat "Sir we don't know much about him yet. I would like to ask Mrs. Grey some questions about him to find out."
Before Christian can answer I do. "It's fine. What is it that you need to know?" I take a seat and Christian follows.
"Ma'am did you notice anything odd about Wilson?"
I shake my head, "No. He was quite educated and friendly. We got along perfectly fine."
"There were no times you thought you might be in danger?"
"No. Like I said we got along perfectly fine. He was kind and helpful. He told me a lot about himself and his life as did I. Minus the part of being married to Christian."
Taylor raises an eye brown and as does Christian, " After everything went on, I didn't want to be hounded by questions and everything. I told him that Miller and Andrew were my friends that worked at the cafe across the street. He didn't suspect a thing."
Taylor looks down at his papers and back up at me, "Did he tell you he was married and had kids?"
"Yes. Why?"
Taylor sighs, "He was telling you the truth. But if he was spying on you, he most like of not have told you that. It just doesn't add up...Mr. Grey can I have a word in you study?"
"Yes." Christian quickly stands as does Taylor. I stand up and follow them in. Christian turns back and comes over to me.
"Ana why don't you go to bed. I'll be in to join you shortly." He wraps me in his arms and kisses my head. I know what he's trying to do. No it's not going to work. I need to know what's going on. This was me in the photo and not Christian. I have a right to know. I struggle out of his arms and he looks dumbfounded at me.
"Christian, it was me in the photo. I was the one who worked for him and know him better than you. You need to let me help with this one."
"But-" He looks hurt for some reason. I look over and see that Taylor has disappeared from the room.
"Christian, have you noticed that when we are both aware of a problem or something, that we can work it out better?"
He doesn't answer.
"Remember what happened with Lila. You refused to tell me any details and then she showed up and my apartment armed." I look up but his eyes remain on the ground, I continue. "And the time Hyde was looking for us and you never told me anything that was going on and I ended up rescuing Mia and put myself in hospital." I take a breath, "And the time that we had a stalker and you never told me about it until you were in hospital with a broken arm and a black eye. Or-"
"Ana I'm just trying to protect you-"
"Christian, don't take this the wrong way...but every time you try and do these things to protect me, one of us lands in the hospital. Or on the floor in a submissive state."
He sighs, "Fair point, well made Mrs. Grey." He murmurs defeated. We walk into his study and Christian fixes us all a drink. Taylor declines as well as I and Christian decides not to have one himself.
"Taylor..." Christian starts. Taylor shifts uncomfortably and looks over to meet Christian's eyes.
"It's not Rick sir. It's Miller. We have video footage from the building across the road that he was dressed as to look like Rick while outside 's Ana's window. He was not alone but with a man about your hight with dark brown hair."
Oh my god!
