The next two days go by fairly uneventful. I got a new bouquet of flowers today. It came with the same card as the first time with the name Grey on it. I don't know who they are from, but they sure are beautiful. When I got this bouquet of flowers it made me think of the man who had the most gorgeous set of grey eyes I've ever seen. I should apologize to him for running in front of his car, but how would I even find him.
*knock, Knock*
I look towards the door and my heart starts racing when I see the police officer from the other day walk in with Jose.
"Hello Ana" Jose says.
I don't say anything. I'm to scared to do anything. I stare down at my hands. I refuse to look at him because I don't want him to hit me. I've actually been able to eat here and I've been building up my strength whenever I can. I get winded easily because of ribs, but I'm trying regain some strength.
Yesterday when Kate was here. I told her everything about where I've been. I told her how Jose hit me over the head with something and I woke up in a cell. She was mortified. She told me I should talk to the cops. I told her I couldn't because the cop that came in my room to talk to me when she stepped out the other day slapped me twice. She was worried about me. She told me I need to learn to fight and stand up for myself. I agreed with her. The only problem is I don't know how to fight. She said she will be back tomorrow to try and help me escape. She's going to do some research and see what we can do since Jose has connections with the police.
"Well….Well...Well… look who finally let me in to see you" Jose says.
I just keep looking at my hands.
Jose grabs my hair and pulls it forcing me to look up "I said look."
I look up and see the police officer from the other day he wanted me to look at.
He looks at the police officer "See I told you. You just have to be physical with her to do what you want." They both laugh.
"What am I going to do with Ana? You ran away the first opportunity you got. I need you to be my little housewife. I need someone presentable to take to functions and charity events. I can't take you anywhere looking like this." he states.
I look up at him. I don't understand him. If he doesn't want me to look like this then he shouldn't be beating me and holding me hostage.
"Did I say you can look at me?" *Slap*
Crap that hurt. I look back down at my fingers.
"I thought we were past this. You will not look at me unless I tell you to."
The nurse and doctor enter the room.
"Mr. Rodriguez. How are you today?" the doctor says.
"I'm well. How is my wife's status?" Jose asked the doctor.
What? I'm not Jose's wife. I want to say something, but I bite my tongue because I don't want to get hit again.
"She will be release today as you requested. Ana must have some memory loss from the accident that didn't show up when we first did her evaluations. After seeing a copy of your marriage license and other documents you brought in we can tell that Ana is your wife." the doctor states smiling.
"Mrs. Rodriguez, you will be release today to your husband. We will be putting together your discharge papers and you should be able to go home shortly. You still have major injuries that will time to heal. You will need to see a physical therapist for your wrist once the cast comes off. We will see you next week for a checkup to see how your ribs are healing. I will be prescribing you some pain killers for the pain. So, take them as needed. Please stay off the heroin while you're healing. Do you have any questions?" the doctor tells me. "Do you have any questions?"
I shake my head no. I don't know what to say. How could he have a marriage licence. I never married him. I never used heroin willingly anyways. I didn't even know I was being drugged till I came here. What the hell is happening. I try to speak but nothing is coming out.
The doctor looks to Jose and the officer. "If you will follow me out here I will get all of Ana's paperwork together for you."
Jose walks over to me and gives me a kiss on the cheek. It's sends shivers down my whole entire body. "I brought you some clothes and shoes to change into. They're right over there on the chair. Why don't you take a shower and get dressed while I take care of the paperwork to get you out of here. The officer will be right outside the door if you need anything."
I just nod my head and everyone walks out of the room. I can't believe I have to go back there. What am I going to do. Crap I better go get in the shower before he hits me again. I go to the bathroom with the bag Jose brought me. For the first time in months I see myself in the mirror. I'm horrified by what I see. I can see my bones. I'm so thin. My hair is stringy feeling and I'm covered in bruises. My stomach has a few scabs from the beatings I've gotten. I try to turn to see my back but the pain shooting from my ribs stops me. I step into the shower and let the warm water run over me. It feels so good to finally be able to clean myself. I stay in the shower longer than I probably should, but who knows when I'm going to be able to shower again.
Once I'm out of the shower I put on the clothes Jose brought for me. It's my black skirt and white button down shirt that I wore to Olive Garden as my work uniform and my black tennis shoes. I start to sob, but the pain from my ribs quickly makes me stop. I wish there was someone way I could tell someone that Jose isn't my husband but kidnapper.
*knock, Knock*
"You almost done in there?" Jose states.
I open the door and Jose is standing right there. "I'm not a patient man. Let's get out of here. If you scream or make any noise leaving here you will regret it. Do you understand me?"
I nod my head "Good girl." He smiles at me. "The doctor says I have to wheelchair you out of here, so sit your ass down in the chair, so we can go."
I do as I'm told and sit in the chair. The police officer follows us out to a waiting Suv. Jose opens the door and I get up and get into the backseat of the suv. I scoot over and Jose gets in next to me. He says something to the driver and off we go.
There goes my chance of freedom. There goes my meals and my shower. I've never felt so low in my life. I want to cry, but I refuse to let Jose see me cry right now. I'm scared beyond belief.
As we drive it's pure silence. I look out the window and I start seeing a bunch of trees. Think Ana how the hell are we going to get out of this. I could just open the door and jump out, but I end up right back with Jose. I need to pay attention to where we are going. I need to see where I am.
After a forty-five minute drive we arrive to my cell. The house itself is beautiful. It's the biggest house I've ever seen. When we pull up someone opens the door and Jose gets out and I get out after him. He puts his hand on my lower back and guides me into the house. The foyer is truly breathtaking. It has has high ceilings with a huge chandelier hanging from the ceiling. It has a grand spiral staircase that leads to the second story. I would have never guessed that this is the house I was locked up in. It's amazing. Jose must have money. I turn to look to my right when I get kicked right behind the back of my knee causing me to fall on the ground.
Jose stands over me. "Now that we're home you are going to be my personal bitch. You will cook and clean this house. If it's not done to my liking you will end up downstairs with the rest of the trash that I keep down there. There is a room for you to stay in upstairs. You will attend public events with me when I say so. Get use to your life here. I own you. Try and run and I will have my police friends bring you ass back here. If you so much as try and leave me again I will kill you. Do you understand me?"
"Yes" I say.
"Good girl. Now wait here till I come back." Jose storms off somewhere.
He will kill me if I try to leave again. No one knows where I am. Kate is suppose to come visit me tomorrow in the hospital, but here I am back with Jose. She was going to help me get the hell away from me and now I'm stuck. What am I going to do. I start to cry. I cry for a long time. The sun is starting to set and before I know it's dark. Is Jose every coming back? I don't want to stay here where he left me. But, I don't dare move because I don't want to get beat or hit again. My ribs are killing me from all of the crying I've done. I wish I had my medicine right now to take the pain away. It must be really late because it's very dark in here. He could of at least left the damn light on for me. He told me I had a bedroom, but I'm not moving unless he tells me to. No damn way. So, I lay down on the floor where Jose kicked me and fall asleep. Today has been an exhausting day.

I wake up on the cold floor. I must say I rather wake up here then in the cell with the concrete floors. This is much better. I try to sit up, but I'm sore.
"Good morning." Jose says from behind me. "Now that you are finally awake go to the kitchen and make me breakfast. Follow me."
I follow Jose to the kitchen and it's big. Why one person would need a double oven, stove and all of this counter space escapes me. I open the refrigerator and pull out some eggs. It's the only thing I can think of that will be easy and quick me make. Jose shows me where skillets and plates are. I quickly scramble three eggs and give them to Jose. He's sitting at the counter island eating when I'm assuming the doorbell rings. "Wait here Ana."
He walks away and come back in with him. It's the man who hit me with his car. "I wanted to see how you are doing mrs….?"
I look at Jose and he nods his head, so I answer "Anastasia." I couldn't say Mrs. Rodriguez because his name sickens me.
"I'm Christian Grey. It's nice to meet you."
I just look back down to ground while he speaks. "I feel terrible about hitting you with me car. If you need anything please let me know. I haven't been able to get you out of my mind. Did you get the flowers I sent you?"
I look up and see red in Jose eyes. Oh fuck he's going to beat the shit out me once this man leaves.
"Why don't we come over here and have a seat." Jose state's pointing to the seating near the kitchen. There's two sofas and a coffee table in the area of the house. "Would you like something to drink?" Jose says to Christian.
Christian replies "I will take a water thank you."
Jose walk into the kitchen and grabs two bottles of water out of the fridge. He walks over to me and whispers in my ear "Remember say something, or try to run and you're dead." He walks over to Christian and hands him a bottle of water. They start to talk. Jose back is facing me, so I look around the kitchen to see what I can find. I need to find a weapon. I see a block of knives on the counter. That's it. I take a knife and stuff it in my skirt and let my shirt follow over it to hide the knife. Jose gets up and leave the room.
Christian walks over to me "Doctor Grace is my mother."
I'm shocked. She was so nice to me. Unlike the prick of doctor who came today and gave me my release papers. "Is someone abusing you?"
I tell him no, but I'm shaking my head yes.
"Fuck I knew it when I saw your marks when you were laying in the street. You have to get out of here." He states.
"I know." I whisper.
"Let me help you." He says.
I whisper "How can you help me. He has friends who are cops. He will find me and kill me."
"Come with me right now. We will walk out of here. I can't leave you here." He states.
Jose comes walking back in the kitchen. "If you don't mind Mr. Grey my wife and I have a busy day you must leave now."
Christian smiles at Jose "I understand. I'm glad you are doing better Anastasia. Mr. Rodriguez do you mind if I stay outside for a few minutes to take in the view. It truly is amazing with all of these trees around here."
"Of course not. Here I will show you out." Jose walks out of the kitchen with Christian.
There goes my chance to get the hell out of here. I have to leave. As soon as Jose walks back into the kitchen he punches me in the nose. I take a few steps back trying to regain my balance. "What were you thinking flirting with that man. Why the hell is he sending you flowers?" He says angrily. "Answer me." He kicks me hard in the stomach. This knocks me to my ass.
"I don't know." I say trying not to let the tears fall from my eyes.
He starts to take his belt off. Hell no he will not hit me again. He struggles getting his belt off and take this chance. I pull my knife out from my skirt and stab in the leg. He screams out in pain and I run to the door. I start to open the door when Jose grabs me by my hair and pulls me back. I fall on the ground hard. Jose turn to face towards me and Christian runs in the house. Jose turns towards him only to get punch in the face by Christian. He hits him four of five times in the face before he falls to the ground. Some other man comes in and continues that beating on Jose.
Christian comes to me "Are you alright?" I just shake my head yes, but it reality no. I'm in so much pain. He puts his hand out to help me get up, but I can't. I'm having a hard time breathing. Between my bruised ribs and I'm sure broken nose I'm struggling to catch my breathe. Christian picks me up bridal style and puts me in the backseat of a car. I can't breathe….everything is turning black. Darkness overcomes me.
