The Promised Bride

23

As they walked towards her Grandfather Anastasia squeezed Ravens hand he returned the squeeze bringing her attention to him he gave her a smile and wink which caused her to blush

" Hello Granddaughter "
" Grandfather " Anastasia said she was about to drop to her knees To kneel from the stare he was giving her
But Raven kept her up and when he sat down he pulled her into his lap

Grandfather gave her a look then turns his attention to Raven

" Ravensthal has she been a good wife " Grandfather asked

"Da She has " Raven answers

" Then why the cast on the arm She must have done something to be punished she has a cast so do tell"

" No She has been a very good wife this was caused by her falling out a tree getting frisbee down " Raven told him

" I hope you punished her for causing you to spend unnecessary money " He said

" No I did not she didn't do it on purpose and the discomfort from the cast is enough punishment " Raven said then kissed her forehead

The waitress came up to ask if we were ready to order which we did only a small amount but Grandfather ordered a whole meal

"Let's talk about her and her performance in bed My Hope is that she was up to your satisfaction she was trained to do what ever you wanted She should have taken anything you gave her and I hope you used the whip on her she just loves it " Grandfather said you could see the gleem in his eyes he was throughly enjoying talking about what he did to Anastasia

Raven stiffens under her , Anastasia turns her head to look at him she can feel the anger rolling off him
Taking her hand to cup his chin to bring his attention to her when his eyes meet hers she gives him a smile
Raven relaxes just a little then turns his attention back to Anastasia's Grandfather

" Let's Just get one thing Straight Old Man , Anastasia is no longer your concern She is my wife now what I do to or with her is my business not yours and I suggest you get that through your head now or you won't make it back to Russian in one piece " Raven growls

Anastasia watched her Grandfather sit back in his seat shock went across his face before he schooled his face

" Anastasia go sit over at another Table Your Husband and I need to have a talk " Grandfather said his voice was cold

" No Whatever you have to say you say it in front of her " Raven growls
His anger is rising

" Fine then Do you Anastasia know that your husband sent me a video of you and him having sex"
" Of course she knows Both of us know what kind of sick pervert you are that you get off on watching her suffer at your hands " Raven said
He tapped Anastasia leg to get her to stand up which she did

Raven stood up next to Anastasia
" The Debit has been paid and As of Now Anastasia is no longer your concern She is my wife I will see to her needs wants desires and the one desire she wants the most is to see you dead and I Raven Ravensthal will see to it I am not the Most Feared Russian for nothing " Raven says

Anastasia eyes went back and forth from Raven and her Grandfather she knew her Grandfather was becoming angry

" Are you threatening me " Grandfather asked snidely as he stood up from his chair

" Oh I don't Threaten I Promise" Raven said

Anastasia began to look around the room which had been full of people was now almost empty
Only Her husbands , North is at the Bar , A few waiters and waitresses remained

Raven leans in to Anastasia and whispers
" Go to North now Little Sparrow Go Now No questions asked" He says

Looking up at him she sees the anger in his eyes
She steps back and walks Away towards North  he's at the bar he's the closest to them
Only a few feet away when North stands up glancing over her shoulder she sees him nod then looks back at her

" Come on Let's get you out of here " North says as he takes Anastasia arm leading her out of the restaurant
As they walk North says out loud " Raven is ready for phase 2 , Little One is out the door with me Henry come around get her so I can head back in "

Three more steps Henry pops around the corner making her jump a little
" Come on Ana lets get you to the house " Henry says

" Is Raven going to be okay " Anastasia asked

"Yes he will be fine " Henry said as he led them to a car opening the door for her she slides in the backseat, Henry leans in and buckled her up then went to the drivers side and got in

They left the restaurant as the buildings go by Anastasia gets lost in her own thoughts until she hears Henry cuss looking up at him she sees he's staring into the rearview mirror
" We got a tail " Henry says
Anastasia looks out the back windshield to see a small car following them

" How the hell did he get here " Anastasia says out loud
" Who " Henry asked her
"That's my uncle " she says

Henry let out a syringe of cuss words
Picking up his phone again dialing a number it rang through the speakers in the car

" Her uncle is the one tailing us "

"how the hell did he get in" Owen said

" I don't know but Ana said that's her uncle in the car" Henry answered

"Harry and Jack will be there in five keep going towards I-26 get on the interstate head out of Charleston you know where you can go " Owen said

"Owiee " Anastasia says
" Yes Sunshine "
" I no want to go back to Russia "
"Sunshine you aren't going anywhere with them "
" Otay"

" Henry I'll  be in touch " Owen said as the dial tone came across the speakers

Riding in a car always makes Anastasia sleepy her eyes close against her will

Waking up when she was being picked up she started to cry it scared her
"Oh Ana Banana no need to cry "
"Harrryyyy" Ana whined
" Yes It's me let me get you into the house and I will give you a binky "
She lets him carry her into the house

Sitting her down on the couch she lays down curling up still filled with sleep her eyes close again but then she feels something rub across her lips so she opens her eyes to see Harry rubbing the binky against her lips to which she opens her mouth and takes it sucking gently as she goes back to sleep

Loud noises made Anastasia wake up again she sat up on the couch looked around didn't hear anything so she got up off the couch to go find Harry and Henry as she walked through the house trying to find them they weren't in the house so she headed back to the living room she thought she saw one of them out back so she went through the kitchen to the back door

Turning the knob she had to pull hard to open it which it creaked as she did

Pushing the screen door open no one was out back but she did see something or someone go around the corner so she stepped out
" Harry , Henry " she hollers but it's muffled she realized the binky is in her mouth so she took it out and hollers again " Henry , Harry please come out I no like playing "

" What has Ravensthal turned you into "

Anastasia freezes that voice
