I do not own Fifty Shades of Grey.

Enjoy!

Anastasia.

Why did he have to call me now? Shane hadn't given me news in three days and he decided to give me a call while I was interviewing that handsome but arrogant and control freak CEO named Christian Grey. I really had to force myself to stay calm after that.

Now, I'm finally leaving this place. Mr. Grey is way too intimidating, let's not talk about his fortune.. His face, his intelligence, the way he looks at me.. All these things give me feelings I should not feel since I've already got a boyfriend. I feel so shitty.

I walk into the foyer and he follows me out, ugh. I can feel his look on my back. I thank him for the interview.

"It was a pleasure." He smirks. Oh my god..

The doors open and I hurry in. Kate, I hate you. I turn to look at him, and I blush when I realize that he is standing in front of me, leaning against the doorway, head-high. Why do I find him so attractive? I shouldn't, for fuck's sake, I shouldn't.

"Anastasia," he says.

I shiver. Shane is the only one who calls me Anastasia. Grey touched something way too private.

"Christian," Please, let me go.

Unfortunately, I freeze way too much and the sleeves of my shirt lift up. Too much. They reveal the bruise which is black now, on my right forearm. Thanks to the elevator which is being slow, Grey has enough time to see it.

Shit. I can see that he wants to say something, he now has a stern look on his face. Thankfully, the elevator closes its doors on time. Saved by the bell. I'm aware you are a control freak Mr. Grey, but you're not allowed to know everything about the persons you meet.

I only realize what has just happened when I arrive at the apartment I'm sharing with Kate. I surely met the sexiest man on earth but also the most mysterious billionaire CEO in the country. How can I think that? Damn, I'm not single. What is happening to me? Did he cast a spell on me?

I only did an interview, and Christian Grey already wanted to know everything about my life. So creepy. He better not know anything about me, for his own good.

I can't help myself, for the first time ever, I was not worried. Thanks to Mr. Grey. He has been the only one who could take my mind off my shitty life in a long time. It might be why I am so attracted to him. I had forgotten everything about my miserable life when I was with him.

As I enter the apartment, I find Shane out, lying on the couch. I gulp. Kate is standing in the kitchen, she gives me a ''sorry'' look and I can see the distress in her eyes. Shane did not leave it up to her, he enters our apartment, that is not his, whenever he wants to. I can't stand that anymore.

"Shane." I greet him with a forced smile. I must take part in the gig.

"So, where have you been?" He asks me, coldly. He gets up and walks toward me.

"I went to the library, exams you know."

He looks at me with his dark brown eyes. Then he sighs and goes back to the couch. He believes me. Thank God.

I join Kate who is waiting for me in the bathroom. She locks up the door. Yay, Kate the journalist is back. She questions me about the interview, I answer with nonchalance. I just want to be alone right now. What's the point anyway? Everything is written on the paper she gave me.

Just as I want to cut the conversation short, she tells me something that holds my attention.

"Damn, I had to fight so hard to obtain this interview.. And he offered you an internship, just like that." She gives me a smile full of innuendo.

"Come on!" I laugh. "You're right, he is sexy, determined, smart and so on.. But also fucking arrogant and lunatic. Nah, I'm done with weird men."

"Unbelievable," Kate can't stop smiling

"What?" I don't understand

"You had your head in the clouds when you came back home, Shane never had that effect on you!"

I frown. Damn, Kavanagh. She always notices things you can't. But I refuse to rule in her favor.

"Thankfully, I will never see him again."

"Stop making such a fuss! You said it, the way he looked at you disturbed you. He has the hots for you!" Kate seems so excited.

I sneer. She is talking nonsense. Not so discerning this time, Miss journalist.

Shane violently knocks on door, making Kate and I jump with surprise. My best friend suddenly looks sorry for me.

"Don't worry, I'm going to work for one or two hours since I finished the interview earlier. He's gonna leave the apartment, promised."

She smiles, sadly. She has known Shane since we've been dating, meaning two years. She liked him, at the very beginning. Then, she started to warn me about him. But I didn't want to listen, I'm so stubborn. He changed and I let him do so. I asked Kate to mind her own business, but now she's done with him. She can't take it anymore. And she's right, he is unbearable. I should have listened to her. But it's too late.

I go out the bathroom and tell Shane that I'm going to Clayton's. He frowns.

"One hour ago you told me that you hadn't heard from me in three days. Now you're leaving. I wanted to spend some time with you, Anastasia," He says, with a tone strangely sweet.

I shudder. I still can hear Grey pronouncing my entire name.

"I'm sorry", in fact I'm not sorry at all.

His hands are trembling. Great, he is getting angry. I should go now. He gives me a fake smile and kisses my cheek. Why am I not loving these attentions anymore? Maybe because his kisses are an excuse for what might follows.. And what follows is always unpleasant with Shane. What is more frightening is that I don't know what to expect from him.

I exit the apartment in a hurry. I get into the car and sigh lengthily. Welcome to my fabulous life.

And now I think back on the interview. It was truly a way-out for me. Grey made me smile. I can't even count the days since I last had a sincere smile on my face.

Sadly, I have to forget him. No one can save me from Shane.

So... Quite shitty I know. What did you think?

I hope you liked this prologue even so. I can't wait to have your thoughts on it.

Thanks for reading, you're awesome!
