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

Chapter 11

Christiansen Grey

My darn shoulder, it just getting really worst as the cold weather starts to set in. According to my specialist, I'm healing just fine. I still have a week and a half at home. All my work is up to date and I had a conference call with Roach and a few of my colleagues. Roach even talked to me after our meeting was over, telling me they put an ad out to get me an assistant to help me. The more I think about it the more it sounds like Anabelle had a take with Roach. Today while we are driving back to Escala from my doctor specialist, we stopped at the suit rental store and then I got to order my wonderful future bride's wedding ring.

Sawyer drove me to this great jeweler he knows. The jeweler can even hand make anything you have in mind. Mr. Wilbur the jeweler waited for me to draw the ring I had in mind for Anabelle. He gave me a price and with the very real diamond I picked out and it still falls in the budget I have set out. Then the really big bonus of this whole trip is that Mr. Wilbur can have my designed ring ready in 2 weeks for me to collect, leaving a whole week before the wedding.

We got home and I started to research wedding vows once we got back to Escala. Some of the wedding vows were so creative. I got some paper and a pen and I started writing out my vows then I rewrote it and then when it was quite shorter and to the point, I started to memorize it. My Anabelle wasn't home yet she has a million meeting at Steele House. Mrs. Jones set out my dinner and I ate it and placed Anabelle's food in the oven for once she is home. After dinner, I got back to work and was almost done with my last report for the evening when Ryan ran into the library where I was working and told me to lay down on the floor behind the couch.

'What is going on?' I asked him.

'Sawyer saw Mrs. Jackie Hyde enter the service elevator and decided since we are searching for her we have her here in the apartment and caught her here.'

'Do you guys think it is a good idea?' I asked Ryan as I lay down on the floor as my sore shoulder protests badly. I heard some woman yelling, then there was a couple of rounds of gunfire with my good arm I just held my head when I heard a huge struggle as glass things being broken then everything went all quite. Ryan was on his phone with what sounds like a spitting mad Taylor. He got off the phone and helped me off the floor. Mrs. Jones and nurse Nora both emerged from Mrs. Jones living quarters. Nurse Nora rushed to me when she saw I was bleeding through my bandages and clothes, Mrs. Jones helped her.

'Are you two ladies okay?' I asked as I sat down heavily on a bar stool at the breakfast bar. Sawyer was bleeding badly from his shoulder and Ryan helped Sawyer to tie the now unconscious Jackie Hyde on the floor of the great room with strong looking cable ties. Nurse Nora got me out of my shirt and was busy taking off my bandages. Sawyer fell to his knees and Ryan helped him to lay down on the tile floor keeping pressure on Sawyer's gunshot wound. I pulled out my phone and called for an ambulance and the police. Anabelle and Taylor came rushing into the great room as everything got organized. Anabelle ran to me dropping her work suitcase and laptop bag at our feet.

'What happened?' She asked me cupping my face with her delicately soft and tiny hands. I held her hand and kissed the palm of her one hand.

'I'm fine it is Sawyer that needs to get to the hospital. She shot him.'

'Who?' Anabelle asked confused.

'Jackie, she got in the service elevator and Sawyer let her in so they could catch her, Ryan ran into the library were I was finishing up my work, when he told me to lay down on the floor and that is where all my blood happened I think I might have pulled some of my stitches.'

'Yes, you have pulled five of your stitches.' Nurse Nora confirmed.

'You said Sawyer is hurt?'

'Yes, I have called for an ambulance for him and the police to come take Jackie away.' Anabelle let out a large breath she must have been holding till she saw I was okay. I just pulled her into my good arm.
