Oh I'm spoiling you today! Here is my other Fifty Shades I've been working on. It's going to be very dark at times and I will warn you some scenes will be upsetting for some readers.
Although there is no scenes of actual rape there will be conversation about it.
For curious readers the age for Christian will be 26 and Ana will be 24/25 as she will have a birthday in this story. And it will be a HEA with the possibility of going onto a sequel if proven popular enough.
Any questions please feel free to message me or leave a review and I'll try and get back to you
So…without further ado... Revenge….
Pulling up outside Grey Enterprises Holdings, Inc., Ana let a sigh pass her lips as she looked up to the beautiful building as she cut the engine of her car. Ten years. Ten years since she was last in Seattle. Ten years since she had spoken to anyone from here. Ten years since she had seen any of the Grey family. Ten years since she had seen him. Her childhood best friend. The boy she fell in love with. The boy she walked away from. Now he was a billionaire and from what his family told her, he was no longer the boy she knew.
"Surreal isn't it?" Came the voice beside her.
Snapping out of her own thoughts, Ana looked beside her and smiled to Elliot Grey as he sat next to her. "Very. I can't believe Christian owns this…hell can't believe anything he's accomplished." She mumbled before looking back to the building before looking to Elliot. "He doesn't know I'm coming right?"
Elliot shook his head. "No one has said a word to him." He promised looking to her. "He thinks I'm just popping in for a quick coffee to catch up. He hasn't been to the house in a while so it's quite normal for me to turn up here now and again just to check in with him."
Ana frowned as she looked to the elder Grey brother. "He hasn't? He used to love spending time with you guys."
Elliot sighed and shook his head once more and looked to her. "You need to prepare yourself Ana. He's changed. He's not the same Christian you once knew. He's distant, angry, controlling…when you left…he changed…I don't know how he's going to react seeing that you're back." He admitted to her. "He's basically an asshole and he'll probably be a prick to you."
"He'll understand when I explain." She whispered to him before looking back up to the building once more.
"You going to explain to me?" He asked curiously looking to her. "I mean don't get me wrong we are all thrilled your back…when you turned up last night we were shocked, mom and dad are over the moon you're back, we all are…but you didn't explain why you left, in fact you were extremely vague apart from needing to see Christian…"
"I'll explain when the time is right." She promised with a smile to him. "And thank you for doing this for me. I know its short notice. Will Christian be suspicious?"
"Nah. He'll just think I'm there to nag him." He shrugged before he frowned. "He didn't get you pregnant did he? That's not why you left was it? I haven't got a niece or nephew back wherever you came from?"
Ana couldn't help but laugh a little as she looked to him. "No he didn't get me pregnant. We didn't do anything like that. We were just friends, not to mention I was only fourteen. Nothing like that was even on my mind. But I promise I'll explain everything when the time is right."
Elliot smiled and gave a slight nod before he smirked and raised an eyebrow. "Friends in love with one another." Elliot commented looking to her. "You can't fool me Steele. I knew you two loved each other before you even knew it."
"Christian didn't love me." Ana told him. "We were best friends."
"Trust me Ana. He loved you and I know you loved him. Part of me suspects that you still do." He gave her a gentle nudge. "Come on. If I'm late he'll kick my ass and ban me from the building." He chuckled and got out of the car, closing the door behind him before he went around and helped Ana out of the car before he headed into the building.
Smoothing down her navy fitted dress as she got to her feet she smiled to Elliot before she stayed close to him as they headed into the building, her stomach doing somersaults. She was so nervous. The only sound she could hear was the clicking of her nude shoes hitting the tiles as she walked.
Giving people a wave as he walked past them, Elliot headed into the elevator, pushing the button to his brother's floor before he moved away from Ana and looked to her from the opposite side. "So on a scale of one to ten…how much you shitting yourself right now?" He asked leaning on the handrail slightly as he observed her closely.
Ana looked to him and sighed. "A solid fourteen right now. I know he's going to freak. Well if he even remembers who I am." She told her eyes slightly at the possibility.
"He'd never forget you Ana." Elliot told her with a smile. As the elevator pinged open he smiled and stepped out, giving a nod to Taylor as he greeted him.
Following Elliot out, Ana had noticed the guy. He was huge. Staying close to Elliot she followed him over to the desk.
"Good morning Andrea." Elliot purred leaning on the desk. "You are looking extra beautiful today."
"Ever the flirt Mr Grey." She mused back to him as she stayed sat at her desk, keeping her eyes locked onto her computer screen.
"How many times do I have to tell you to call me Elliot? Mr Grey is the stuffy guy in the suit remember?"
"Well Mr Grey is in his office waiting for your arrival." She informed him with a smirk.
"Well slight change of plan beautiful. I'm going to hang with you while my friend here goes and see Mr Stuffy." He gestured to Ana.
Andrea raised an eyebrow and glanced to Taylor who was making his way over.
Elliot held his hand up. "Stay where you are big guy. She's an old friend. She's here to surprise him."
Taylor looked to him, his lips pressed into a hard line. Glancing to Ana he then gave a reluctant nod to Andrea.
"Excellent!" He beamed with a grin before he then looked to Ana. "In you go kiddo." He mused. "Don't worry about knocking."
Ana looked to Elliot before she took a breath and looked to the doors. Heading over to the doors she headed inside, frowning slightly seeing the office empty. Heading inside she looked around, looking back slightly as the door closed behind her.
"I'll be out in a second Elliot." Came Christian's voice from somewhere.
Ana raised an eyebrow before she then looked around at the office before she then headed over to the windows and looked out to the view. It was truly beautiful. She could see why he had his office all the way up here. Heading over to the couch she popped her bag down before she headed back over to the windows, wrapping her arms around herself slightly as she kept her eyes locked out to the view in front of her. She was taking a huge risk coming back here but she couldn't do it any longer. She had everything she needed and she was going to do this with or without Christian. The choice was down to him.
Stepping out of his private bathroom, Christian frowned spotting a woman in his office. Glancing around and not seeing Elliot he frowned once more and looked to the woman once more. His eyes roaming up and down her body before settling onto the long wavy hair cascading down her back, settling just above her ass. He couldn't tell who it was. Hands moving into his pockets he leant on the door frame as he looked to her. "You're not Elliot."
Hearing his voice, Ana froze to the spot. Swallowing hard she kept her eyes ahead of her, not being able to face turning around just yet. "You would be correct." She replied bluntly. More bluntly than she intended but her nerves were getting the better of her.
At her tone, Christian frowned. "Well care to explain who you are and why the fuck you are in my office?" He snapped at her.
At his snap Ana rolled her eyes, her jaw tightening slightly. "Elliot said you had a temper these days. I was hoping he was wrong. Should watch your language Grey."
"Who the fuck are you? How do you know Elliot? Is this his sick idea to set me up with some random desperate chick?"
Ana rolled her eyes as she finally turned to face him, her arms still wrapped around herself, her blue eyes meeting his grey ones. "I don't think I'm classed as some random desperate chick do you?"
As soon as he saw those blue eyes, the colour drained from his face his face. He knew those blue eyes anywhere. "Anastasia…" He whispered as he looked to her. It was a blast from the past and it was something he would never expect.
"Hello Christian."
"What the fuck…"
"That's the third time you've swore now. Don't make me get the swear jar out…"
"What are you doing here?" He asked looking to her.
"Isn't it obvious?"
"Considering I haven't seen or heard from you in ten years. No it's not." He snapped at her as he headed over to his desk. "If you're here to play games, go bother someone else. I'm busy."
"Was waiting to see how long you'd throw that back in my face." She rolled her eyes as she looked to him. "Whatever you think about me is wrong."
Christian scoffed as he sat at his desk and went back to working on his laptop. "I highly doubt that. Just go Anastasia. Tell Elliot not to bother coming back either. I gathered it was him who got you in the building."
"So you don't want to hear my side of things?" She asked looking to him.
"There's nothing to hear." He stated. "You left without even a goodbye. Not even a phone call. Hell you disconnected your number. Think that proves how little you thought about our friendship. How little I meant to you. Just go. I have nothing more to say to you."
Moving in front of his desk, Ana slammed her hands down onto it as she glared at him. "Don't you dare." She snapped at him, her own temper getting the better of her. "Don't you dare sit there and act like I didn't care about you when you were the most important person to me. You might hate me for leaving but I left to keep you safe."
"Save the bullshit lies for someone who cares Anastasia cause I certainly don't."
Ana clenched her jaw. He never called her Anastasia. "Lies?" She whispered looking to him. "I've never lied to you."
"No you just upped and left me. Just leave Anastasia." He got to his feet as he looked to her before moving around and went to grab her arm.
Ana closed her eyes briefly to take a deep breath. As he touched her, panic set through as she snatched her arm away and shoved him away from her, her breathing rapid as she moved away from him, her cheeks reddening from embarrassment. She didn't think she'd react like that to him but it just proved her fear was there, even with him.
Stumbling back slightly as she shoved him away from her, Christian frowned as he looked to her. "What the hell is your problem?" He asked with the shake of his head. "I suggest you leave of your own accord before I get my security to escort you out."
Once her breathing returned to normal, Ana looked to him, still keeping her distance from him. "I need to ask you a question and I need you to answer me honestly."
Christian rolled his eyes and folded his arms across his chest. "What?" He asked with a snap to her.
"When I left…did…Elena Lincoln ever try anything with you?"
Christian frowned at her question. Why the hell would she bring up Elena? "What are you talking about?"
"Just answer the question. Did she?"
Christian looked to her before he turned away from her, refusing to answer. He didn't know what it was about Ana but he could never lie to her. It was like he was physically unable to do it.
The second Christian looked away from her she knew. She felt sick. "I'm going to ruin her." She whispered before she grabbed her bag. "Goodbye Christian." She mumbled as she headed to the door. She needed to get out.
Hearing her Christian frowned before he quickly went after her. Boxing her in as she reached for the door, being careful not to touch her. He didn't fancy her shoving him away again.
As he boxed her in, preventing her from leaving Ana sighed. "Let me go. You wanted me gone remember?"
"I think you need to do some explaining before you leave." He whispered with a sigh. "Why did you ask about Elena? How did you know?"
As the tears pooled in her eyes, Ana sighed before she turned to face him, leaning against the door as she looked to him. "Because she promised me that if I left she would leave you alone."
Christian frowned as he looked to her. "What are you talking about?"
"She's always wanted you. I heard her. The day before I left my mom asked me drop some bottles of wine over to her house. Elena's always had an open door policy with my parents so I thought the same would apply for me and she always seemed so nice to me so I just headed straight in and that's when I heard her. She was on the phone talking to someone about you. Telling them how much she wanted you but she couldn't because I was always with you. I was in the way. She was planning on getting you over to the house without me. Help with her garden. The things she said she wanted to do to you, I felt sick…I ended up dropping a bottle out of pure shock. She caught me…when she realised I had heard everything…" She trailed off and sighed, a stray tear running down her cheek as she locked her eyes onto the floor. "I threatened to go to the police to tell them what I heard, but she said I had no proof and no one would believe a stupid kid like me so I said that I'd warn you. Make sure you stay away from her. She said she would leave you alone on one condition…" She looked to him, her watery blue eyes meeting his shocked grey ones. "I was to leave and never come back…I had to have no contact with you and if I did she would do to me what she wanted to do to you…but now I know she broke that promise and still went after you anyway…" She quickly wiped her eyes. "I've spent the last nine years gathering what evidence I can on her to destroy her. Building up the courage to come back here to face her again after what she did."
Listening to her, Christian felt sick. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. His jaw tightening as he tried to process everything he then frowned at her last comment. "Face her again after what she did?" He asked looking to her. "What do you mean?"
Ana looked to him, lifting her hand up she traced her fingers lightly over his stubbly jaw. "I can't…not yet." She whispered before looking to him. "But know I didn't leave because I wanted to. I left because I thought I was protecting you." Moving her hands to his hips she gently pushed him back away from the door. "You mustn't tell her I'm here." She told him. "But she'll get what's coming to her when the time is right." She promised before she sighed and pressed a kiss to his cheek. "Goodbye Christian." She whispered before she quickly left his office.
Christian was stunned. Everything Ana said…it was playing on his mind too much for his liking. He thought Elena was helping him when in reality she was praying on him. He knew Ana wasn't lying to him. They were never able to lie to each other and even after all this time it still seemed that was the case. Sighing to himself he looked to his slightly ajar door. He wanted to confront Elena. Wanted to demand answers from her but first he needed more answers from Anastasia. There was more she wasn't telling him and he was determined to get the answers he needed.
