" Fuck you father! I wish I never even had been born in this fucked up family then maybe I wouldn't be forced to marry someone I don't even love! " I yell to my father.

I run out of the house as fast as I can to my secret spot I use to get away from everything. I'm Christian grey, Son of king & queen Carrick & grace grey. I have two siblings a little sister & a little brother, since I'm the eldest I'm forced to take my fathers crown as king soon which leads to why I'm standing here kicking a tree. In just a few months I'll be forced to marry Anastasia steel. Though Ive never met her I have no doubt she'll be just another spoiled brat wanna be princess who's probably came from money which is why she's put in a position to marry me.

" you know kicking that tree like you are won't do anything except break your tiny little toes " comes a voice from behind me.

There's only one other person who knows about my secret hiding spot!

" I'm not in the mood Selina " I say to my friend.

Selina has always lived in the Castle with us as her parents are servants for my family. She's Someone who I can be myself around other then the royal " prince of London " we come here together for just a few hours we forget everything going on at the castle & we get to be just normal young adults.

" oh Christian, she's not that bad you know? Why do you hate her so much.." she asks coming to stand directly in front of me making me look at her.

She's wearing a brown sweater black pants & some ugg boots. her long blonde hair down straight as usual. Her chocolate brown eyes looking up curiously at me. Truth is I don't hate Anastasia.

Sure she'll probably be another spoiled bitchy, daughter of a wealthy family just looking to be royalty. Still I don't hate her, hell I don't even know how she looks. I just hate the fact that I'm being forced to marry someone that I haven't even fully held an entire conversation with. I'm not in love with her, I shouldn't have to spend the rest of my life with someone who I've never even been around long enough to stare at for more then a minute let alone someone who's name I only know.

" she's coming over to have dinner with me and my family tonight " i confess. " it's why I'm in such a shit mood dad says I have to spend time with her in order to get to no her..." I say sitting down rubbing my hair " girls here are all the same spoiled little brats the last thing I want is to spend an entire day with one" I huff.

"she's really not that bad" Selina repeats and it's my turn to look at her curiously.

"& how would you know?" I ask.

" I met her. She was really sweet to me. she even offered to help me clean. I was surprised, I told her princesses don't clean. " she says giggling. " I mean she will be the princess." She says flopping down next to me.

After talking to Selina for hours It's almost time for dinner and I know that Selina's hungry so we head back to the castle & go our own way to wash before dinner.

After I'm dressed and ready to head to the dinner table grace my mom walks into my room shutting the door before I can walk out.

" Christian I came to ask you to be on your best behavior at dinner tonight. Anastasia and her family will be joining us & I can't afford to have you embarrass our family " mom says with sympathy in her eyes " this isn't ideal trust me of all people I know" she says guiltily coming to sit on the chair next to my bed " if it helps Anastasia is a sweet heart I'm almost certain you'll love her" she's trying to reason with me. but I know she's just saying anything to keep me on my best behavior.

I nod.

We walk out together to the dining room.

My eyes go around everywhere looking for my future wife. I spot an older woman in her mid 40s. blue eyes, honey blonde hair, & pale skin. Shes very polished! there's not a hair on her head out of place. I look around the huge round table next to the older woman sits an older man also mid 40s, with dark almost black eyes.

" Christian this is Anastasia & her parents ray Steele & Carla Steele. Have a seat & introduce yourself. " dad says from his seat

My eyes finally fall on Anastasia. She's a blushing mess but I can tell she's pale just like her mother. & just like her mom she has big blue ocean like eyes. Unlike her mom though, she has deep dimples in her cheeks & dark chocolate brown hair that falls down in perfect waves pass her back. She's beautiful! I clear my throat,

It's just a pretty face grey! You've met plenty beautiful girls, you've fucked plenty beautiful girls! she's just the same. Probably can't even hold an intelligent conversation all they ever have to offer is their beauty.

" hello Anastasia. I'm Christian grey nice to meet you, mr & mrs steele." I nod my head towards the three of them as I sit down across from Anastasia.

" hello Christian it's Ana um, you can just call me Ana" she says sweetly but firm. Her voice sounds very professional as if she's practiced speech her entire life. Her parents say hello to me & they start to ask me about myself as I do them.

We eat in silence as usual my parents don't believe in talking while eating it's rude to talk with a mouth full of food as mom would say. I can't stop looking at Anastasia or should I say Ana? I really like the name Anastasia... she even eats as if she was trained to do so. Cut fork, cut fork, she eats one tiny piece of corn at a time I find it intrusive so I look over to her parents to see if they eat the same way & sure enough they do.

" grey you will give Ana a tour around the castle then you will show her out in the back. After you will take her back to your room to get to know her. " mother says after we all finish eating.

I nod & push my chair back holding my hand out to Ana. She smiles showing off her adora- ahh, cute dimples & walks around putting her tiny hand in mine.

I storm off walking fast in front of her once we are out of eye sight of my parents.

" grey, wait up " Ana says coming running behind me.

" if you think for one minute that I actually want to marry you or spend anytime getting to know you for that matter you are even more delusional then I thought " I stop to say. Turning around, I'm surprised to see it's not shock or anger I see in her.

She's... amused!

"so let me get this straight you actually think I want to marry you" she says looking Appalled at me. " my normal life with just a few close friends was fine with me. my parents forced me to go along with this I'm actually hoping I can find a way to get out of this before we manage to tie the knot." She stands with her hands cross distaste clear in her futures.

" maybe we can work together and make a plan to somehow stop the wedding " I blur out. Now very interested in working with her since she seems so determined.

...

Over the last 2 weeks Ana & I have been meeting up in my room planing our way out of this marriage that's just a month away. Nothing worked though we tried pretending to hate each other so our parents can take some pitty on us & call the whole thing off, but they said that we'll learn to tolerate each other which only seemed to piss me off more.

I jump when I see Selina bust through my room door soaked in what I'm guessing water, scowling at me. I stand in confusion & quickly go to get her a towel.

"what's happened" I ask because she's glaring at me & if looks could kill...

" your precious little fucking fiancé & her dick head friends are what happened!" She yells pushing me " I was outside cleaning the backyard. Ana two girls & a boy comes walking back long story short both girls non including Ana started to bully me about being a servant nothing I'm not used to." She stops rolling her eyes.

" they started laughing about how dirty I am & how I needed to be clean. Ethan I think his name is told them that they should stoping being jealous of me. The girl Kate got mad when Ana nodded in agreement & she took her entire water bottle & threw it at me along with the other girl who's name I can't remember" she huffs.

I still don't get why she's mad at me? I haven't even seen Selina in 2 weeks the castle is big enough for me to not see her if I don't go looking. She's a servant so unless she has a pretty good excuse such as cleaning or something she's not allowed to come much in this part. Though I've snuck her in plenty times,

" Selina I am really sorry you have to deal with that truly I am. but why are you so mad at me " I ask the question I just can't seem to come up with an answer to. I mean she just bust threw my fucking door glaring & pushing me.

She pouts flopping her wet body down on my bed. I want to complain about her getting my bed sheets wet but I can see that she's already in a shit mood so I let it slide.

" you haven't talked to me in 2 weeks Christian! Every since you met perfect little Ana, had you been with me you could have protected me" her voice breaks at the last part I see her break down in tears. " you'll never know what it's like to live my life Christian. I have nobody, you were that one person that I had & now I can already see that once you marry Ana you won't have time for me. People will go back to running all over me because I won't have the prince Christian grey protecting me. I won't have my friend"

I soften.

When I first met Selina she was just this cute little shy servant. After just months of us hanging out she gained so much confidence you can just see the difference in looking at her. She Always kept to herself most people didn't even know what her voice sound like, but not anymore. Back then me having nobody & her having nobody we clicked instantly & became good friends. Plus she's not like other girls, only in it for something that's going to benefit them. Selina just wanted a friend. Once my brother told me I shouldn't hang out with servants ... I punched him in his face & it's not a topic to be brought back up. I have protected Selina since we both were about 14. And she's always been my rock whenever I just want to talk I go to her.

" Selina, I'm sorry I haven't been able to keep in touch with you these pass weeks trust me when I say I've been busy. I don't even want to get married neither does Ana we can't stand each other we've been trying to come up with some type of plan to get out of this marriage" I say lifting her up & ruffling my hand threw her hair playfully in an attempt to cheer her up. " I won't let anybody replace you Selina you've been there for me when I didn't have anyone never forget that. I will get Anastasia out of my life so I can have a chance at marriage with my actual true love if I ever meet her" I smirk at the thought.

at only 18 years of age I'm definitely not looking for a true love at this point in my life. Which is why I'm fighting so hard to get out of going threw with this marriage.

" bango " Selina & I both jump apart knowing how this must look us cuddled close together like this.

Anastasia walks in smiling at us both clearly not caring to give what we must look like right now a second thought.

"I think I found a way out of this marriage"

" oh hey Selina " Anastasia says just now looking her way. Guilt flashing over her face when she sees Selina's red eyes & her wet clothes. " Kate & jasmine can be bitches sometimes I think I agree with Ethan though, they are jealous of you. Don't let them get to you" she sits down in my chair crossing her legs.

My eyes can't help but travel down as her black skirt raises up. I don't really care for her but she's fucking beautiful I can't denty that! I wouldn't mind those creamy legs wrapped around my neck. Still I don't want to marry her...

"why would they be jealous of me? I'm just a poor servant" I hear Selina mumble.

Before I can say anything Anastasias London accent rings in my ears.

" JUST A SERVANT? You can't be serious Selina? Jeez go easy on yourself you're beautiful I'd kill to have your natural blond hair, I'd kill to have a body like yours."

"but you have perfect brown hair & your body is also perfect" Selina says confused.

I stop them there, no fucking way will I listen to them throw compliments at each other when me & Anastasia have business to get down to.

" how can we force our parents to end this marriage what steps closer can you take us?" I ask quickly changing the subject to what's more important.

" oh yea that " she blushes looking shy about what she's about to say. " I over heard your dad asking if I was still a virgin. He said it was important for you to deflower me on our wedding night & that he wouldn't let his son marry some used trash." She finishing rolling her eyes.

" & if you lose your virginity to someone else then you wouldn't have to marry Christian" Selina finishes clapping her hands " then you wouldn't have to take my friend away from me " she adds looking over at Anastasia giving her a shy smirk.

"I wouldn't dream of it" Anastasia says smiling back.

First time since I've met her she didn't sound like she's getting a job interview. Her words always well thought of, worded completely right, always the perfect barely human "miss I make no mistakes Anastasia."

"so wait, you're a virgin" ? I ask surprised. For a virgin she's very comfortable in her sexuality. Just yesterday while we were in my room she took off her shirt because she was hot. I nearly had a fucking heart attack but she just casually shrugged & said "I'm hot" my dick hadn't ever been that hard! I wanted to fuck, I want to fuck her. But that's it, I just want to fuck her and get her out of my system just like I do plenty pretty faces.

My question though, causes her to blush again.

"yes I am" she answers clearing her throat. "But not for long. If it's the price I have to pay to get out of marriage with you I will gladly give my virginity out"

I would laugh because I find it funny that she blushes every time she uses the word "virginity" but I don't like the fact that she's just going to go out & fuck someone. & I don't know why!

You no why grey. It's because you want to fuck her!

"With who" I grit out. " who will you just have sex with? & how are you sure that this will work" I ask frowning. I don't think it's fair that she has to rush to give out something so precious just to get out of marriage with me. It's what we both want yea, but isn't this just wrong of her to sacrifice?

She shrugs.

" Ethan's always had this huge unhealthy crush on me though I've always turned him down maybe I'll give it a try "
