Mia wonders around the grounds taking in all the people mingling around. It was the night of her brother's Elliott's engagement party to Katherine Kavanagh. The party was in full swing. Everyone was here to celebrate; Grace and Carrick, Ana and Christian, Grandmother and Grandfather Trevelyan, and the extended family of Kavanagh's. There were also numerous friends of Kate's. She helped plan the party along with her mother. Kate had insisted that the party be held at the Grey estate in Bellevue because Ana and Christian's wedding had been held there two months before. It was small intimate wedding just perfect for Ana and Christian. Of course being Kate didn't want anything small. She had to outdo Ana. Elliott didn't want a big party but because Kate threw a fit, he conceded.
She smiled at how happy Elliott was now that he had found the love of his life. The only downside was that she didn't like Kate. She was too demanding, snobbish, and downright rude. She belittled her beautiful shy sister-in-law, Ana. She seems to dislike Christian and acted like she barely tolerated her mother, Grace. Grace had told her Elliott had made his choice and they had to make Kate feel welcome even if they didn't get along with her. In Mia's opinion, Kate was jealous of Ana. The way the family treated Ana was nothing like they treated Kate. Even Ana was beginning to feel Kate's hostility. Ana being the beautiful person she is just chalked up to wedding stress. Mia knew better.
Mia reflected on the one good thing that came out of all this. Christian found Ana, Elliott had found Kate and she had found Ethan. The Grey family had been through quite a lot in the last few months. There was that situation with Elena, which she didn't know all the details and she didn't want to know, and that terrible man Jack Hyde. She had been kidnapped with Ana but she had just been drugged while Ana had been beaten. She shivers when she thing back to Ana being in a coma for a few days. Christian was beside himself especially when we all found out that Ana was pregnant and the baby was fine. No one was expecting that especially Christian. He never left her side until she came home and not even then. Now Ana was happy and healthy carrying the heir apparent to the Grey Empire and they couldn't be happier. Everyone was happy and she couldn't help but giggle.
"What are you giggling at sis?" Mia looked up until the blue eyes of her older brother.
"Oh El, I'm just happy for you." Elliott pulled her into his arms and hugged her as she slid her arms around his waist and giggled again.
"I am happy Mia and I appreciate the effort that you are making to make Kate feel welcome. I know it's hard but she'll come around. I know she likes all of you too."
Mia doubted it but kept that comment to herself. It was his night after all. So she decided to change the subject.
"Have you seen Ethan? I've hardly spent any time with him since the party started."
"He is with some guys over by the bar." She turned to look and spotted him.
"Ok thanks. I'm going to see if he wants to dance. See you later." She kissed him on the cheek and left.
As she walked around the dance floor, she saw Christian and Ana dancing; her parents talking to some friends of theirs, and her grandparents were sitting at their table talking to Kate's grandparents. She notice Ethan had moved away from the bar to the outside of the tent. She was ready to walk through when she caught his conversation.
"So have you done it yet?' one man asked.
"Hell yeah! It took me longer than I wanted it too but it's done."
"And how was she?"
"Hell man, she didn't know what to do. She was a virgin and very shy. Considering her personality I wasn't expecting that. All these months to get her into bed were torture. She has no intellect; she's spoiled, and has no career goals. All she loves to do is shop and her brother gives her everything she wants."
Hey in the end you reached your goal." Another man said.
"Yeah, I get to say I fucked the sister of The Christian Grey."
Mia gasped and all four men turn around toward her. She can barely see through the tears but sees Ethan with a smile on his face. She stumbles and runs across the dance floor. She runs until she's on the patio of her house and falls down ruining her pale pink dress. She's sobbing her heart out and through it all she hears voices' murmuring to her before everything fades to black.

With Ana in his arms, he notices Taylor walking toward him with a concern etched on his face. He watches him cut through the people and stops dancing. He looks down at Ana and then back to Taylor.
'Sir, we have a situation. You are needed at the house."
"What's happened?"
"Sir, please. I'm going to find your parents and Elliott."
Taking Ana's hand he makes his way through the throng of people and across the grounds, dragging Ana behind him.
"Christian, wait." He looks down into Ana's face.
"I'm sorry baby; I didn't mean to drag you."
"It's ok. I know you are worried but I can run in these shoes."
"I'm sorry baby."
He continues his walk at a much slower pace, making sure Ana was fine. He enters through the kitchen and can hear the sobs. He walks to the family room and stops in his tracks. He sees Mia on the floor sobbing while being comforted by Sawyer.
"What the fuck is going on?"
Mia cried harder and Sawyer jumps up, clearly nervous.
"Christian, calm down." Ana says softly. "Mia needs you."
He takes a breath and walks slowly towards Mia and sinks down into the floor and pulled her into his arms. She wraps her arms around his waist and clings to his all the while sobbing. He turns to look at Sawyer.
"Explain."
"Sir I was making my way around the grounds when I saw Miss Grey fall to her knees. I alerted Taylor and we both reached her at the same time. We tried to ask her what was wrong and she passed out. I brought her in her and Taylor went to notify you and the others. She woke up and dropped to the floor and hasn't stopped crying since."
He turns back to Mia. "What happened Mia, talk to me."
Everyone knows how special Mia is to Christian and he would kill for her. He lifts up her chin and looks into swollen red rimmed eyes. He searches her face begging her to tell him what is wrong. Christian hears the door close and shoes walking toward them.
"He said … he said…" She sobs louder.
"Who said what?"
"He said … he said… he could say he fucked the sister of The Christian Grey." She slumps in his arms. He hears the gasps and the roar of "What the fuck?"
