A Shadow Of Doubt

The Wind Beneath My Wings

Mia
Graham and I are ready and our skydiving gear is created to look like a wedding dress and a tux. So when we land we are ready for the reception. I hope it does get dirty. We are going to try to land on the target area so we don't. The target area has people ready to take the parachutes off.Graham's idea. He had some great ideas for our wedding and his home is being upgraded by Barney, Elliott and a security company that Taylor recommended. After the two women got onto Christian and Anastasia's property by way of Elliot's truck he decide to find a way to find someone before they get that close to the house.

I love that Mia is adventurous, our honeymoon is going to be great. A lot of activities we can do together. Things we haven't done before and want to try. She is going to fly a helicopter, she took lessons in secret and next is flying our jet. We are rarely home because we do a lot of things. Between her businesses and our activities we just barely make family events. After the two women psychos made it into Christian and Anastasia's property and one was armed and pretty serious about killing Anastasia. Both had loose screws. I saw video of Gia Matteo, talk about a determined female and her attire said it all. A street walker wears more clothing. I did like how Roz was making her feel as uncomfortable as Gia was making Christian.

I am so worried about Mia and her skydiving, and now she is getting married while skydiving. Carrick has told me that she and Graham are trained in skydiving and a few other things. I was hoping for a big wedding for Mia and I didn't get input on her wedding dress. She and Graham worked on everything together and hired someone for the reception. I barely got input into it. Carrick said when Elliott gets married, if he marries Kate, Enid and Kate will drag her everywhere for the wedding. He is right about that.
Carrick
No walking my daughter down the aisle and giving her away. But the wedding is all about the couple not the parents. I am a bit sad, but they want to marry while skydiving and I am not skydiving for any reason. It will be videotaped, so we get to see it at the reception. They found a minister that skydives to perform the ceremony and two of their skydiving friends are being witnesses and the people filming all of it.
Christian
We are waiting for the couple at the reception and it is beautiful. A screen is set up so they can show the wedding ceremony while they sign the marriage certificate. The place is gorgeous. Mia and Graham hired someone to do all of this. Her catering team was involved and followed the directions given to them, I watch and notice a red haired woman breeze by us as she has everything placed very quickly. She has not stopped since we have gotten here. Finally I see her head towards Mia's assistant and she gives him instructions and food is being brought out and sat at each table and in ten minutes everything is in place and the bride and groom arrive . All of us are seated and the speeches are done after we have eaten and had our drinks. We toasted the bride and groom. Mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, me, Elliott, Raymond and Anastasia say a few congratulations and the cake is cut and served and then the father of the bride dance and mother of bride. My grandparents danced as well. I have never seen Mia and Graham so happy.
Anastasia
Christian is amazed at how organized the reception planner has been. He thinks Mia should hire her to help run her restaurant and catering company while she concentrates on clothing designs. I am in agreement. We don't even know her name, but I am sure dad and Taylor do. Mia has been allowing her second in command to run the show, but not on her reception.
Taylor
I swear that woman moves so fast she looks like a blur Christine Blair is doing a great job. Rick Washington was not the best choice of a second in command, because he is a great chef, but not a great organizer or anything like that. So he stays in the background and Mia has to take over on all the events. Miss Blair is well trained and her background check tells me she has had a battle to get to this job. Mr Grey had me check her out and he told me to make sure she is kept safe and inform her she will have a CPO while in Seattle. An ex of miss Blair's is bad news, he has a history of assaulting women. She unfortunately got pregnant after he raped and beat her bad enough to put her in the hospital. She came here to live and became a party planner. Graham found her a gave her the job, because she was new and desperate for a job and he found out about her daughter and hired her on the spot and gave her a job as a live in chef. They had Elliott come in and create a separate entrance and living area for her and Stephanie. He also created a play area for the child. Mia had told her second in command that Miss Blair will be his boss from now on. He was relieved, Stephan Lewis has been second since he started, but he is best and cooking and preparing meals than giving orders or bring the person in charge.

I have been working for Graham and Mia since a week after I arrived in Seattle. When they offered me a live in position I took it. Graham and Mia explained that I would be getting my own CPO for me and Stephanie. He explained that because his fiancé is the sister of Christian Grey she has CPO's and with my ex that they felt a live in arrangement would be safer for me and Stephanie. They also want me to plan their wedding reception and be in charge of Mia's restaurant and catering business so they can concentrate on getting their actually wedding coordinated. For some strange reason I really trusted these two and took the job and moved our things from the cheap hotel into their home. Elliott Grey went above and beyond to create a separate entrance and living area for Stephanie and I. He created a child's fantasy play area out of his own pocket. He will definitely make a good father and husband one day. I must have looked pitiful with my two healing black eyes. The doctor said I was lucky to be alive, a neighbor called the cops on Sherman Samuels after seeing him raping me after punching me in the face. I woke up in the hospital with a female cop and a female doctor looking at me. I had been there four days and my brain had swollen and they had to put me in a coma until I woke up. They had to perform a rape kit immediately even though a witness saw me being raped. Sherman was still in jail when I was pregnant and had Stephanie so he had no idea when he got out and found me and again beat me up, but luckily someone got him off me before he could rape me. That was two weeks ago and I have to testify against him once again. I have to go to Portland to testify. I had just enough to get to Seattle, I was called on my cell about working for Graham Jameson Jr. a friend if his recommended me. I suspect they were trying to help me get out of Portland and far from Sherman. It worked.
