Steele's Fifty Shades Darker **Book 2** (Completed)

Chapter 10

Anabelle Steele

When Christiansen told me there was someone in our room earlier I thought my heart has stopped working. I went into panic mode and just wanted to get out and keep him safe at all cost. I know Jackie could have shot Christiansen in his sleep if she had a weapon with her but thank the Lord above he is okay and although clearly in a mountain of pain with his shoulder I drove us as fast as I could down the I-5 and then back when I made absolutely sure no one has been following us. I booked us in once we arrived at the Four Seasons in Seattle that overlook the beautiful waterfront. Christiansen drank a couple of painkillers on our way back to Seattle and I could see he was in a ton of pain, he was so pale because of the pain he was in. The bell boy helped us with our luggage and to get settled.

'Mr. Grey, got to bed. I will only be a while, then I'll join you.' I said and gave him a kiss. He took off to bed and I phoned Taylor to find out where we stand with the search for our intruder.

'Ma'am.' Taylor answered.

'Taylor, good. Where are we on our intruder?'

'Ma'am the guys, have found that she indeed came up the fire escape, and she has tampered with the security camera. Before she tampered with the camera feed the footage showed that she indeed as a 9 mm gun in her possession and she changed her appearance.'

'Good work. Did she leave any fingerprints behind?'

'Yes, ma'am and a ton of them all over the place. The forensic team is collecting them now.'

'Excellent. I'm going to bed now. Speak to you later.'

'Good evening, Miss Steele.' We hung up and I paced around our suite thinking about what could have happened if Christiansen haven't woken up when he did. Come on Steele you can spend the rest of the night on "what if's", now go to bed and get some rest in the morning everything will look a bit better. I finally got in the shower then hit the hay. The next morning I was up before anyone else and gone through the property websites and finally found the place I love and near the water to so we can have 'the Carla' with us at all times and take her out whenever we feel like it, to take her out. I looked at the time it was 7 AM and I gave the realtor Lucinda Pickens a call and arranged a viewing for later in the day.

There were other properties to but this specific one caught my eye. Maybe if Christiansen doesn't like it we can search for something else. I got dressed and ready for the day and I ordered three breakfasts for the three of us and then set out to do some work. I called Ros and told her about our situation we had last night and that I'm getting Christiansen out of the city for today while Taylor and the team get all the info they need to do their work. It was just shortly after 9 AM when Christiansen got up and wander around to find me and he found me as I finish my breakfast. He gave me a good morning kiss. He started to eat his breakfast and I finish up with some work while he ate and got ready for the day.

Ros phoned me and gave the latest load down at the office and all around and everything is going relatively smoothly. Tokyo wants to have an answer and I am afraid to say but it looks like Ros and I have to fly out there and sign this damn deal before they just give it away to some other sod. Saw nurse Nora change Christiansen's bandages and it still had some blood on it. I watched her apply the ointment to his large wound. I really looked at his large wound and I feel so guilty for what he is going through. He did that to protect me. I looked away and just shook my head.

'What is it?' He asked me.

'It's really nothing.'

'No, what is it, Anabelle?'

'I was just thinking about something that's all.'

'Oh, about what?' He asked as he flinches a bit when nurse Nora bandage him up again with new bandages.
