A Day in the Life of Grey Marraige

Hello everyone. This is the new chapter of Fifty Shades Destroyed. The response to the story has been good so far, though one review was critical of the time it took for the previous chapter to appear. For that, I apologise, college and exams have been taking up quite a lot of my time. Having said that, I need to prove my vow of finishing this story by continuing to update as much as I can. For now, here is the new chapter.

I own nothing associated with Fifty Shades. And I will never want to.

(P.S. If anybody is going to see Fifty Shades Darker in the cinema, let me know what you thought about it.)

Exclusive Interview with Grace Trevelyan Grey, mother of former-CEO, Christian Grey

We took the opportunity to talk with Doctor Grace Trevelyan Grey, the adoptive mother of Christian Grey, the now disgraced CEO of Grey Enterprise Holdings.

In the last year, her life was turned completely upside-down by her son's unbelievable and horrific actions that ultimately, destroyed his and so many other lives.

'I didn't recognize him at all.' wept Grace during our interview. 'He had just turned into a complete and utter monster. I never really knew what sort of a person my son really was.'

Dr. Trevelyan Grey says that she will always regret not looking deeper into the scars of her son's past. 'I never realized how deep his past affected him. But at the same time, that's still no excuse for what he's done.'

Ana

I stare at myself in the mirror, blue eyes wide, hair brushed out. As I tie my hair back, I notice the new red weal marks on my wrist. Sighing, I let my sleeves down, covering up. Taking a deep breath, I make my way out of the bathroom.

Gail, Christian's housekeeper, is in the kitchen making breakfast. I force myself to smile at her.

'Breakfast Mrs. Grey?' she asks. Inwardly, I wince. How many times have I told her not to call me Mrs. Grey?

'Yes please Gail.' I say smoothly. Normally, I'm not very hungry, but I know what will happen if Christian finds out that I didn't eat anything.

I eat some French toast and drink a cup of tea, while Gail prepares a bottle of formula milk for Teddy. This is no sign of Christian which is a silent relief.

Once I finish, I take the formula and go into Teddy's room. He's lying in his crib, legs kicking happily. He doesn't have a care in the world. I smile and pick him up, cradling him close.

'My beautiful little boy.' I say, feeding him his bottle. My very beautiful, happy little boy. My mind wanders back to the argument I had with Christian after he went out drinking with his molester. I said that I would choose my baby over him… and I still mean it today.

How could he have ever wanted me to abort this little angel?

'Anastasia.'

Oh no, speak of the devil. I swallow hard as I turn to face my husband. Christian is standing in the doorway, smirking. I force myself to smile at him, Teddy gurgling in my arms.

'Good morning Christian.' I say calmly. I place Teddy back in his cradle, straightening my shirt. Christian strides over and wraps his arms around me, trapping me in his grip. He leans in to my ear.

'Do you really have to go to work today?' he whispers, his words sending a chill down my spine. I know what he's trying to do. I know that he had his way, I would stay at home all day. Time and time again, we have argued about me going to work. I'm not handicapped and I certainly wasn't raised to be a housewife, for goodness sake.

Thank goodness today I really have to go to work; I have a very important meeting with a company from England, looking to invest. Christian can complain but this could mean big business for my- his - company. I can't call the business by its real name - Grey Publishing. It's just another example of the hold that he has on me.

'Yes Christian, I must.' I say firmly. He growls softly but releases me. 'Alright, alright, if you insist on going. But you know just how better off you'd be working from home.' he says.

Oh yes, Christian, I know that I am. It would mean that you'd have me all to yourself.

Thankfully, I have to meet the people face-to-face, so I can't stay at home anyway. 'I'll see you this evening Christian.' I say softly.

He smirks, kisses my cheek before he finally leaves the room. I wait until I hear the elevator doors that I sigh with relief. Another reason why I prefer going to work? It gives me a few hours away from Christian.

I turn back to Teddy and brush a lock of hair away from his face. 'See you later, my little man. Mommy loves you so much.' I whisper. So, so much.

Hannah is already in the office, when I get to work. 'Morning Ana. Do you want tea or coffee?' she asks brightly. I smile fondly at her. 'Tea please, Hannah. When you're ready, we'll discuss the plans for the meeting.' I tell her.

As I settle down at my desk, my phone buzzes with an email.

From: Christian Grey

Subject: New York

Date: May 17 2013 06:45

To: Anastasia Grey

Anastasia,

I have to fly out to New York which means I won't see you until tomorrow evening. I have unexpected business with Thinknum to attend to.

Don't try and go out for any sneaky catch-ups tonight - I'll find out any way.

Until tomorrow,

Christian Grey

CEO, Grey Enterprises Holdings Inc.

I smile to myself as I read the email. A day-and-a-half without the Red Room, without Christian's insane jealousy and control. Bliss.

My smile fades a little as I read it again. Don't try and go out for any sneaky catch-ups. Of course he would remind me of the last time he went out to New York.

Kate and I had changed our plans and snuck out for a few drinks. When I got back, security had caught Jack Hyde in the building. And how did Christian react? He was like an iceberg, he was so cold towards me. He gave out to me for disobeying his orders to stay in and later in the evening, he forced me into very brutal, controlling and uncomfortable sex.

As much as I would love to go out for a few drinks tonight, I really don't want a repeat performance of that night. Of course, he didn't say anything about Kate coming over to Escala….

Taking the plunge, I dial Kate's number.

'Ana?'

'Hey Kate! Christian's gone to New York for the night. Do you fancy coming over tonight for a drink?'

'Why not? I'm doing nothing exciting. See you at eight?'

'See you then.'

I hang up the phone smiling to myself. Seeing Kate this evening, makes me feel a little better. It's been ages since I've last seen her. I can actually hear Christian's voice when I think about all the times I've asked if we could visit Kate and Elliott, her fiancé.

'Why are so desperate to see her? You have me Anastasia.'

At least tonight, I have Kate and not Christian. I have no doubt that Christian will be mad about Kate coming over. But I'll worry about that when he comes home.

For now, I think I'll just enjoy myself tonight.

To Be Continued. This is not my greatest work but I did as best as I could. In the next chapter, Kate appears and is shown a little insight into how much Ana is suffering. Later on, things get a lot worse. Until the next time, let me know what you think.
