CPOV

Ana leaving never really surprised me, she needs air if everything in her head gets to be too much and she still wears tracking devices to calm my nerves. These past few days have been a lot on both of us and she has always been one to hit her breaking point but push beyond that all the time I have known her. Leila is something else, for everything she has been through I figured she would be more like Ana in that mental health way but she is brilliant. She seems to have managed to find a way to survive and not withdraw and lose herself, too bad Ana didn't have those skills in life.

"Christian, you okay? Worried about Ana?" Leila inquires.

"No, she does this sometimes and you just have to let her have her space. So, have you thought about what you want to do?" I change the subject.

"Where ever you want to put me it will be great, it's all what I like to do so no worry there. What does Ana do, sitting at home can't be good for her, she's always been a little different in the head. How has she been doing?"

"She's been okay for a few years now, everyone stumbles at points but aside from that it is all good. She has really grown in the past seven years. More then I expected, but I can't really talk for her. Listen, if you don't want to stay here we can set you up in a smaller apartment. This place is huge and lonely if you live alone."

"That would be wonderful, when should I meet with you about the job offer?"

"Come with me to GEH tomorrow and we can set you up."

"Great, and thank you Christian."

"For what?"

"All of these opportunities, without you and Ana I would be with my mom and dad doing god knows what, god knows where. I'm just really grateful."

"No problem, you're Anastasia's sister."

"You'd do anything for her, wouldn't you," She says it as a statement.

"Of course I would, that's not of consequence."

"Then why hit her? She's that important to you, yet you hit her. I don't get that, I mean I have grown up around it, we both have, which is why she won't let you suffer the consequences because she thinks its normal. We both know it's not, so I am still trying to figure out why."

"So am I," I admit. "I've never hit her before and I have no clue what came over me yesterday and I have tried to reason with myself and I know it was wrong. Still can't figure out what happened. Thanks for looking out for her."

"She's my sister, like you she is my person. The most important one I know… can I ask a question?"

"Of course."

"How long have you known Ana? Taken care of her? Been there for her?"

"She was fifteen, nearly sixteen and she tried to pickpocket me so I allowed it then followed her. Found her hiding out in an alley but brought her home, and then you probably know the rest. We fucked, a lot, she got pregnant and moved to Boston with me where I went to school. We've been together for a long time, and I would never give up a moment of it. I have tried to be there all that time but she ran off for ten years right after Maia was born, I lost her but when she came back I made sure she knew that I would always be there for her."

"It sounds like a remarkable relationship."

"It is. Have you been seeing anyone?"

"No, wasn't allowed. Ana and I must have just missed each other then between being around mom and dad, we haven't seen each other since we were twelve. I seriously thought she had forgotten me."

"One thing I learned is that she doesn't forget people, especially those important to her and you are very important to her."

"Did she ever mention me?"

"No, but we never talked about her family. It was a hard limit for her so I dropped it."

"Well, I can't wait to get to know you and your family. Your kids are incredibly well behaved for having four of six under the age of ten."

"We try, but all of that is on Ana. She pushes them to be amazing people."

"When do you send out the dogs to look for her?"

"Once we hit midnight."

"I see, you aren't scared she'll try anything drastic?"

"Why? Do you, Leila?"

"I would, you could see how week and devastated she was earlier. She is fringing apart and I don't think you all should allow it."

"You think we are allowing it?"

"You saw her and yet you are sitting here, I'm here now which should help level her out a little it but you're her husband and maybe you have gotten too close to her. Maybe you are unable to see what is in front of you because you are always there with her. I have barely seen her since she found me and I can see it in her eyes."

"It's a good thing you are around then, you do carry a different view on the situation and Anastasia," I agree. "So you think I should send someone to pick her up now?"

"I would if I carried the amount of power that you have."

I leave her be and hail Elliot and Luke over, explaining to them that we need to get Anastasia back here and soon as possible. All the kids are being put to sleep in the dance studios the floor below us because they will have to be up an hour earlier to get to school on time. All the adults are settling down and moving into spaces for some quiet and down time, however it takes forty-five minutes for Elliot and Luke to arrive back with Anastasia who does not seem happy and looks as though she has been fighting them on this.

Ana follows me to our room, I set Leila up in Maia's room because its the only bedroom up here with a single bed because that is what Maia prefers. Ana throws herself on the bed, screaming into the mattress. I role her onto her back, latching my lips onto hers because this is how I fix all my issues with her, we fuck like rabbits into the night.

I pull the t-shirt over her head and rip her bra off, latching on and suckling onto her nipple while teasing the other with my hand. She wiggles and grinds against me, pushing me further to my breaking point. Freezing all actions I undress myself then finish undressing her so she lays spread open and naked in bed. I move down to her dripping cunt and lap up all of her delectable juices, making her squirm around more.

"Christian, why did you bring me back?" She asks as I am about to thrust into her.

"I wanted you home," I nibble on her ear.

"Usually I get more time, I needed more time."

I flip her onto her stomach and spank her ten times, and then pound into her until we both explode with our orgasms.

She's out soon after but I pull on my boxers and go to do some work in my office. I think I will put Leila into our human resources division, she fights for whats right and does not seem to back down from a fight. I like that in people who work for me, and I will get a loft for her in Tribeca which will be smaller and fit he better. Thinking about it I will probably need to stock the place with clothes and furniture so I will do that before we move her in there. The place should be ready by the weekend, three days from now. Ana is probably thrilled that this mess is sorted and Jose will be sorted with tomorrow by her, life is on track. All my shipments are good and on time, nothing is out of place and no one is trying to pull a hit on our family. The Feds have given up as well as all local police departments, life is sweet.

When I look up from the emails I have been reading and shooting off Ana is standing in the doorway naked, tears flowing down her face. I wheel back the chair and open my arms which she runs into, making herself comfortable in my lap. Leila's is right, she is very fragile right now and we need to look out for her. I shoot off and email to Emily asking her to come to the apartment in the morning after everyone else has left to meet and be with Ana while I take Leila to GEH, that way she will not be left alone.

"What do you need, Kitten?"

"Please, just hold me right now. I need you to hold me if you are not going to let me go out and get air. Please hold me."

"I'll never let you go as long as you need me," I coo.

She snuggles into my chest and I hold her tight, lifting her up and carrying her back to bed where I lay with her. We both fall asleep quite quickly, only to wake up to her trashing and crying at seven in the morning. It's a fight to wake her up only for her to cling onto me like a koala bear, tears flowing out of her eyes and the heaves paired with them shakes her whole body.

"Kitten, what is it?" I try and calm her.

"Don't leave me Christian, don't let me go. Please don't let me do, I can't do it anymore it's too much for me. I can't do it Christian, don't let them make me go."

I rub her back, really trying to soothe the pain and fear that she must be feeling. I have never seen her like this, and where would I let her go. Does she want to stay in bed all day and accomplish nothing, I am all for it but I do have to take Leila to set her up at he office.

"Where do you think I would let you go?" I try.

"Don't let me go, don't let me run," She whimpers.

"Do you want to run?" She nods agains my chest. "I won't let you, I will keep you safe from everything in your head and in our world. I promise Anastasia."
