Updated A/N: Hello Everyone! This story has long been completed. I am thankful for those who gave it a shot. I have received a lot of feedback that the first few chapters are confusing. I am so sorry about that and this shall serve as a warning. On the bright side, things will get better after Chapter 15 I think and I hope you will stick till then. Unfortunately, I will not re-write the first chapters because if I decide to start with another one, this story will serve as a proof of how I have improved or not. Sorry about this long note but you have been warned that it's going to be a bumpy ride at first. If you decide to read till the end though, I am sure you'll agree that it was worth it. Thank you! Cheers!

Ana's POV

Present Time

Gray sky. Cold breeze. Wet ground. The rain has just stopped and I'm standing in front of the man I love.

Today is the 150th day since he left me. A lone tear escaped my eye when I remembered the look on his eyes before they closed - full of love, reverence and gratitude. Even if it was his last breath, he left me with a smile. My beautiful and strong man.

I can't stop the other tear from falling but the wind gently swept it from my face. I closed my eyes. I know he's here, watching me.

"Baby, why did you have to leave me?" I asked and waited for his answer that will never come, his masculine voice that I will never hear again.

I felt a strong hand on my shoulder. I look up and see the man who stood beside me and became my rock in the past months.

"Ana, we need to go." Sawyer said looking at the grave of the man who I know holds his utmost respect. His green eyes dull and I know he's feeling the same way I do. We both lost a friend. Him, his best friend. Me, my boyfriend.

Luke took off his jacket and wrapped it around me. "Taylor is waiting in the car." I glanced at the black SUV parked a couple of meters away. I sigh.

"Five more minutes Luke, just..." I wasn't able to finish my sentence. Sawyer understood, nodded and walked towards the vehicle.

I looked back to the stone in front of me, my hand tracing the letters of my beloved's name. I knelt down and kissed the smaller stone beside it. I braced myself for the hardest goodbye.

"I'll visit both of you as often as I can. I'm heading back to the city now. Don't ya worry about me too much. I'll be alright with Luke and Jason. My love, you can rest now, you've been through a lot. Little one, be good to your daddy. I will always love you both." I forced a smile trying to ease the pain in my heart. I am strong, I am tough, I am loved. I repeated the mantra that my Dad has taught me since I was a little girl.

Raising my right hand, I stood straight, saluted and turned back. I, Anastasia Rose Steele, will now be reporting for duty.

A/N: Hello! This is my first Fanfiction. I came up with the plot last month but only had the courage to post it now. I know this chapter might lead to different assumptions but I hope you'll humor me and join me in this journey. This is an AU story and Ana and some characters is OCC. Our beloved Christian Grey is still the controlling, dominant, hotshot billionaire CEO that he is. Till the next chapter! Have a Nice Day!
