Ana POV
I have a lovely shower and decide I will not shed another tear. I am stronger than this. I need to speak to Christian and sort this out because that bitch troll is not going to win. I did realize Christian was a lot younger in those pictures and I was not around then. I overacted and didn't even give Christian a chance to explain himself. I need to set things right. As I exit the shower Elliot is there in my room. Luckily I changed in the bathroom.
"Hey whats up?" I can see he wants to say something but is battling to put it into words.
"Ana we need to talk."
"Ok I am listening." I have to keep an open mind.
"Taylor was here just now to collect the envelope. This whole thing was a set up. The penthouse has been bugged. Elena found out that Christian was going to be honest with you about everything tonight and then he was planning to ask you to marry him. That is why she chose today to get her plan into action." I can't believe what I am hearing. He wants to marry me. I have been such a fool to believe that bitch and run. I need to make things right.
"There is more Ana. She has hired a hit man to kill you and one to kidnap Christian. Taylor has a plan in action and we will leave in an hour. We have to keep you and Christian safe. She is trying to have him as her slave Ana. We can't allow that to happen. Get your stuff together and meet me down stairs." I feel as if my ears are ringing. My mind cant process all this info. All I can picture is Christian being taken away from me by that bitch and I get a stab of pain in my chest. I can not lose the love of my life. Yes, I was the fool to walk out but I am the one that is also going to try and make this work if he will still have me.
"Ok I am on it." I knew it. I will not allow that bitch to hurt the love of my life. Never again. I have to keep my family safe. I pack my stuff and run downstairs just as the doors open and Taylor walks in. I can't help it I run right into his arms and hold him. I can tell he is surprised by my actions but I don't care.
"Taylor I am so sorry for believing her."
"Ana Its ok. You had every right to think it was all real."
"Were is he?"
"Ana baby I am here. I am so sorry baby." I can't resist. I leave Taylor and throw myself into his arms and just let it all out. He carry's me into the car and we leave. I refuse to let him go the entire way.
"Christian I am so sorry. I should of talked to you first."
"No Ana I am sorry I should have been honest with you from the beginning."
"She is a sick women Christian."
"I love you Ana and I am not lettering you run away ever again." We board the GEH jet and soon we are in the air. Christian takes me to the bedroom and drops to one knee in front of me.
"Ana the moment I met you I knew you were the women for me. We have been through good times and bad and have stuck together and come out even stronger. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to love and cherish you till we old and grey. Please do me the hour of becoming my wife."
He opens the box and there is the most beautiful square diamond set in platinum. I am speechless.
"Christian. You still want me after all this? After I abandoned you without an explanation?"
"Ana I never want to ever be away from you. These last 3 hours have been the worst of my life. I have experienced a few hours without you and my life was miserable. Without you I am nothing. Please be my wife."
"Yes, Christian I will marry you." I know in my heart I have made the right choice and Christian and I are destined to be together.
"Lets turn this jet to Vegas then we can go to Aspen from there." Typical fifty everything needs to happen now.
"What? You want to do this now. What about the rest of the family."
"We can have a second wedding when all the shit calms down. What do you say? I don't want to be without you in my life ever again Ana." What do I say? I am so confused but I also know I never want to be away from him again. Can I do this?
"Ok lets do it." The smile on his face is priceless he picks me up and kisses me so passionately.
"Ana I am the happiest man alive."
Elliot POV
Everything seems to be going according to plan. I have asked Kate's father for her hand in marriage and he has given me his blessing. I walk up to her and drop to one knee and say.
"Kate you are my soul mate and I can't see my life without you being in it. Would you do me the honor of accepting my hand in marriage. " I pull out her ring and she has tears running down her cheeks but she is nodding yes.
"Yes, Elliot I will marry you." I take her into my arms and it just feels so right.
Christian POV
The love of my life has just agreed to marry me and I am not wasting anymore time. We live together already so we might as well make it official.
"Taylor"
"Yes Sir."
"Get the pilot to detour to Vegas for an hour I am getting married then we can head to Aspen."
"Yes sir." He has the biggest grin on his face.
"Wow Bro you don't play slow do you?"
"Elliot I love her. She is my whole world. I will give it all up just to be with her. I am not wasting anymore time. Will you be my best man?"
"Of course I will stand by you. Mum is going to be so pissed off at you."
"No we are going to have a second big wedding when we get home an all this shit goes away."
"Ok that will make the news easier for her."
"I am proud of you Christian. And I love you Bro. Don't ever forget that."
"Thank you Elliot. I love you to."
I left Elliot with Kate and called the Vegas hotel and arranger everything with Taylor.
"Taylor they have delivered 20 dresses and shoes to Ana 's room for her and Gail and Kate to choose from. The license is in check and the chapel is booked. What am I missing?"
"Sir you need hired cars and a photograph and tux for the men and the rings sir. Ana needs hair and make up and we need to throw a small reception with a cake on the plane to Aspen sir."
"Yes I am on it. Inform the flight crew what's going on and for them to set up as soon as we leave. They will have 1 hour. The hotel has given us there photographer and they have all signed NDA's. The suites for us are there already."
"Ok then we are all set let me go and brief security."
Wow this is really happening. Nothing can stop me now from marring the love of my life. I need to call Ana's dad and get his permission again, then call Mom and explain what is up before the media get wind of this.
