Fifty Shades of Mr. Grey(Complete)

10

Claire and I exchanged quick pleasantries before I head to my office. Sawyer settled in at his desk at security. I'm just glad it's Friday. Hanna is not in yet, so I got busy with work. Checking the new cover proofs and awaiting on a printed copy from Rick this morning. Starting on my mountain of work. By the time Hanna arrived, I was more or less on schedule for the day.

I hand her some letters that need typing and asked her to file some manuscripts I read last night with my detailed notes and reviews. Got a couple of blushing e-mails from Christian on my phone. E-mailing him right back just before lunch time. I was done with my daily work. When Hanna came and remind me of my fitting appointment.

'Thanks, Hanna. If there's anything, call me.'

'I will. I'll get Sawyer ready for you.'

'Thank you.' I gave Christian a quick call before I head out. His phone goes straight to voicemail. That's strange. He usually answers straight away when he sees it's me. I left a message then head out to the waiting car. Something foreboding came crawling over me. Seeing perky Mia helped a little with this strange feeling I am still having. Getting into my custom made wedding dress. Walking out to the mirror room of the store to look at myself. Kate's mother hovers over me and Grace like we were the most important people on the planet. My dress is perfect. Grace had tears in her eyes when she looked at me.

Cupping my face in her hand just like my mother would do. Grace phone rang and Kate head into the dressing room helping me get out of my dress. I got dressed quickly then head back out wondering through the boutique. I found my maid of honor and brides maid gifts. I got them wrapped and paid for. Now only for Christian's wedding gifts.

Mia and Kate both walked out in their dresses, they both looking so beautiful as always. Grace love the pink shade we have chosen. Grace's phone rang again and her face fell looking at me, then Mia. She hung up then pulled up closer. Kate walked to my side. Kate's mother stepped closer. She looks Mia and me deep in our eyes.

'Christian has been kidnapped.' Grace let us know. We all gasped. As for me, I could not breathe and I sunk to my knees on the spot my legs are unable to keep me standing. Kate and Mia helped me up, they let me sit in a chair. My whole body turned to ice then started to shake uncontrollably.

Kate and Mia change their clothes and we all head back to Escala. Kate phone Hanna to let her know that I have a family emergency and won't be back this afternoon. I just shook too much and tears ran down my face silently. Where is Taylor? How can this happen? Who would have taken him? Was just a few of the zillion of questions running through my head. Oh, please, please let him be okay. Please let him be okay.

I prayed over and over in my head. We enter the great room Sawyer and Ryan sat on the phone to figure out what the hell happened to Christian and Taylor. Mrs. Jones moved to my side asking me what is going on. Grace told her and Mrs. Jones got busy in the kitchen. Carrick, Elliot, and Ethan strolled in two hours later. Sawyer who I only notice was on his phone, as is Carrick. Kate asked Mrs. Jones for a blanket. Elliot got a fire going in the heart. Kate wrap a blanket around me. Mrs. Jones carried out a tray with coffee and tea. Then got busy on some food.

Elliot holding Kate in his arms in the door of the library where the TV was monitored on any news on Christian. Grace walking up and down the glass wall of the great room. Kate and Mia each held one of my still shaking freezing hands. There is still no new news after five hours since we heard the awful news. Tears spill over my cheeks in waves. Carrick came out and spoke.

'All the police can tell up by the CCTV cameras footage is that after Christian's meeting was done two large SUV's pulled up and a bunch of guys jumped out and as Taylor tries to protect Christian they beat Taylor up badly and is in the hospital in Portland. Christian's kickboxing classes paid off as he tries to fight them off for a while then they managed to shoot Christian in the calve and knock him out cold and drove off with him.'
