Finally You

Chapter 12

CPOV

The last month has been tense for my whole family and there isn't an end in sight. We have tried to eliminate the threat but we aren't any closer to the culprit and it's pissing me off. My girl has been extra clingy, not that I'm complaining because there is nothing I like more than a snuggly Ana but it's not because she is feeling extra lovingly. She talks in her sleep and every once in awhile I hear her begging for my life. I wish I could have kept this threat a secret but I know they deserved to be informed. Each member of my family and executive staff have 2 protection offices following them at all times.

Ros, Mia and Elliot fought me more than anybody but after Taylor and Grace got involved everyone took it in stride. My brother calls me everyday saying how having two hulk light babysitters is fucking with his game but I told him to suck it up.

Leila and Ana took it the best. Leila was more worried about CJ getting hurt so she asked to have someone specifically assigned to him. I let her choose him and she wanted Eric Donaldson. The look shared between those two did not go unnoticed. I want my sister to be happy but she needs to let him do his job while this threat is active. I'm brought from my thoughts when Taylor and Welch run into my office.

"Sir, We have found out who has been making the threats. This whole time we believed it to be from either a hostile takeover or a deal you pulled out of, but we were wrong." I roll my hand for them to continue.

" It was Connor McMennis. His father Gary McMennis sold you his company the first year GEH opened."

"I remember him, he was one of the only companies that didn't try to undermine the deal by overestimating the companies worth. He knew that his company was dying and wouldn't be around another 6 months. Our deal ending with us both being happy and we still in contact time to time." Why over 2 years later would they try something?

" It appears Connor McMennis was only 17 when his father sold the company and he always thought he would take over. It seems the deal was signed and it wasn't until months had past before Connor was made aware. He is under the impression you stole his future and now wants revenge."

"Why know? We signed they deal 4 months into GEH's opening. GEH has been up and running for three years now, why wait so long?" Welch pulls some paperwork out of a file and hands them to me.

"It appears Connor has a drug problem since starting at the University of Seattle. He was using what was left of his trust fund but now he's broke. His father is refusing him any money until he gets help. Like Taylor said it appears he is attacking your family because he believes you stole his future. The part that makes this worse is he is unpredictable because of his drug use. We have tried to track him but his last known location was on the campus of US but that was 3 days ago." Fuck..

Drugs always has to come screw up my life. First my birth mother and now this asshole wants to hurt my family.

"Have you talk to his parents? I know he is mad about them cutting him off but they are still his parents. Maybe they could help us get him to a specific location and grab him before he does something much worse then send letters?"

"I haven't talked to them yet sir, but I will now that I've notified you." I nod my head and dismiss them both. This is something I never expected when I started my company. My goal was to help change the world. My first threat I ever got was when I made my first million and it was also the first time I appeared in the fucking tabloid. It was all about the twenty something kid that created the fastest growing M&A company. They staked out in front of our 250 square foot office building waiting to get a glance of the "new kid" but quickly they got bored with me ignoring their questions. I wish they would leave me alone completely but I "hot material" for them.

Two hours later my PA Andrea notifies me that the McMennis are here. "That was quick" I mumble to no one but myself. I tell her to send them in and when I look up I see Welch and Taylor are following right behind them.

"Mr. Grey, We hear that our son is causing you some problems?" I nod and glance at Welch and he hands them the threatening letters.

"We have evidence that your son sent those threats."

"NO, our son would never do anything like that." Mrs. McMennis yells before her husband touches her hand and glares at her.

"I apologizes for my wife's outburst. As you can imagine this is a shock that our only child would threaten someone's life, let along 3 lives." I nod and I feel bad for them but I can't forget that my family is under attack but their son and I won't feel pity for them.

"We haven't seen Connor since before Christmas. The last time we saw him he was begging for money and we had just found out he was using drugs. His roommate Mitchell, called us because Connor hadn't been going to his class all last semester and has been hanging with the wrong crowd. Connor also wasn't paying his share of the bills so Mitchell was going to kick Connor out. He wanted to let us know ahead of time because Connor had become more violent and didn't want us to be blindsided. Our son is apparently a violent drug addict that is now broke. He is desperate for money to buy drugs, so I would not be surprised if he threatened you." He looks like he is trying hardest not to cry but slowly tears start running down his face.

"I'm sorry for my failure as a father is causing you problems but I will do anything to help because I don't want my son to do something he can't come back from." His wife goes to open her mouth but he shakes his head and continues

" Just tell us what you need and we will do everything to help you and our son." We spend the rest of the afternoon coming up with a plan to find Connor and get him help before he destroys everything I love.

One week later.

"I can't believe Valentine's Day is next week. It's our first together!"Ana says while dancing in circles. Now that we have a plan underway to find Connor, everyone is slightly more relaxes but we have a face to look for instead of being completely blinded to his threat. I plan on creating the most romantic Valentine's Day of her life. We have been living together for almost 3 months and I think we are ready to take the next step in our love story.

"What is Valentine's Day?" She stops dancing and glares at me before starting to laugh.

"Good one, you almost made me believe you didn't know what the day was. Haha. I know everyone loves Roses but can you get my either Daisy or Tulips? No jewelry required because I already have to two best gifts you and Charlie. I don't need anything else." I smile before grabbing her and covering her mouth in the most passionate kiss. This is why I love her so much. She doesn't need anything expensive, my girl is happy getting flowers and spending a day with me and Charlie. I have no idea how I got so lucky but I will never take her for granted.

Valentine's Day

I asked Mia, Leila and Mel to help me create a romantic setting for Ana and I on the Grace. My company just finished building her and making sure she is water safe. My plan is to celebrate our first Valentine's Day and the weekend on there.

I decided since my sisters and Mel know all about what females want for a dream Valentine's Day I'd let them have almost all the control on decorations. I did tell them my ideas but they quickly shot them down and said they weren't romantic enough. Whatever, as long as my girl loves it I don't care what they think. I look at my watch and see that it's 10 past when Ana was suppose to be here. Just as I'm about to press send on Ana name, I see Taylor running towards the boat. I immediately have a sense of dread take over my body.

"Mr. Grey, We have to go now. Miss Steele and Sawyer were in a car accident." Without evening a second thought I jump off the boat and run towards the car. I slowly take the ring box out of my suit pants and just pray that my love isn't hurt. God, please let her be okay. I can't live without her.
