My deepest apologies on the delay of this update. I know it's been a VERY long time since I last updated. I have a wonderful beta who catches my mistakes and helps me out with things I struggle with in this story (in the end, all mistakes are my own). However, she works full time and also takes online courses, so that causes her to be busy. Yes, I could have a different beta for this story, but I choose not to as she's been with me since the beginning and I trust her immensely with the story. I have NO plans on abandoning this story, but yes, updates won't be regularly. For those of you who have stuck with me through this journey and are patient as I update, THANK YOU! For those of you that feel I don't update enough (I do understand as I'm the same way with stories I read, but every writer updates at different times) and in the end, unfollow/unfavorite me from their list, I'm sorry to see you go. I hope you will consider coming back as I will continue this story, even though it takes awhile to update. As for the reviews, I want to say THANK YOU! for the awesome reviews and for those of you who take the time. It means more than I can say. Every writer likes to hear how they're doing and what they think. If you don't review, how do we know if we're doing bad/good? If you don't like something, I hope you would be respectful about it as no writer is perfect. I respond to every reviewer that are signed in. For the guest reviews, I will answer in the next updates. I will also answer any questions in each update that you leave in your reviews (that I'm able to, anyway). For carla rbaptista, thank you for the compliment. Grey and Ana aren't technically together right now, but they are certainly heading in that direction. hehe. I won't say yes or no if Elena/Jose will stop stalking. You will have to continue reading to find out. I appreciate you reviewing. To mariam mccluskey, yes, I plan on finishing this story. However, between the amount of stories I'm currently writing and my beta being busy doing the above, I'm not able to update frequently. But I assure you, I WILL keep going. To Remembering Twilight, I'm not a fan of Jose either. lol. Maybe that's why I'm writing him as a villain in this story. haha. Miss N0el, don't worry. Ana/Christian will talk more. When Christian does hear what Jose is doing to Ana and he WILL hear it, just not right away, he will take care of the situation. If I didn't answer everyone's question, I apologize and I'll answer them in the next update so please leave them in your reviews. Thanks! For those of you that don't remember everything in this story, I have included a recap of the last 9 chapters. If you don't need it, feel free to skip it. It is for your benefit. I don't own fsog, just this story.

Chapter 1-9 recaps:

Ana discovered her boyfriend Jose cheated on her b/c she wasn't ready for sex. He asks for another chance, but is denied. Christian/Ana meet for the first time & he's cold towards her until seeing she's in pain & offers her comfort but she says she's okay. They can't stop thinking of the other after their encounter. Christian tries to find her by hiring his bodyguard Taylor, but isn't able to find her. Christian is hesitant on another relationship b/c of how Elena treated him. Ana b/c of how Jose treated her. Ana/Kate each applies to be Editor at a major company...Kate at Boston Legal and Ana at Christian's company. Jose vows revenge against Kate/Ana b/c of how they 'treated' him. Christian refuses to see Elena & Taylor supports him. Gail (Grey's maid) hates how Elena treated Christian & makes it known. Elena tries to get Taylor to talk to Christian for her but he refuses.

Chapter 10

Sometimes Life Can Throw You an Unexpected Curveball

(Kate is currently listening to music and doing some housework. She can't resist dancing to the beat. She is so into the music that she doesn't hear the knock at the front door. When the person realizes Kate didn't hear them, they knock louder. That catches her attention. She turns down her music and looks towards the door before opening it. Her smile quickly fades when she sees who it is)

Kate: "Jose."

Jose: (smiles politely) "Hello, Kate."

Kate: (rudely) "What the hell are you doing here?"

(Jose has a serious look across his face as he slowly walks into the apartment)

Jose: "I think it's time we have a little chat."

Kate: "I have nothing to say to you." (points to the door) "Get the hell out."

(Jose looks at her from the living room and smirks)

Jose: "Oh, I think you will want to hear this."

***Christian Grey Enterprises***

(Christian is sitting at his desk going through a few files when he hears a knock on his door)

Christian: "Come in."

(The door opens revealing Taylor. They say their 'hello's' before Taylor takes a seat across from his boss)

Christian: "What's new?"

Taylor: "Thought I would give you a few updates."

(Christian rolls his eyes before leaning back in his chair)

Christian: "Do I dare ask?"

Taylor: "One is about your ex."

Christian: (sighs) "Great. What did the bitch want this time?"

Taylor: "Well, for starters, she wants me to help her set up a meeting between you two."

(Christian looks at Taylor for a moment before speaking)

Christian: "I hope you told her where to go with that request."

Taylor: "I told her she had to be fucking kidding as there was no way in hell I was helping her."

Christian: (scoffs) "She's delusional if she thinks you would help her."

Taylor: "She had to know what I would say to her because I can't stand her. She's a needy bitch who I only tolerated because you two were together."

Christian: (shakes his head) "Now you don't have to."

Taylor: (raises his eyebrows) "She also tried to put doubts in my head on your trust in my work that I provide for you."

Christian: (weirdly) "Excuse me? Say that again?"

Taylor: (sighs) "She claims that you don't completely have as much faith in me as you used to."

Christian: (scoffs) "Now I know you told her where to go with that one."

Taylor: (nods) "I did. I told her she was a lying sack of shit who needs to spread lies elsewhere." (chuckles) "She wasn't too happy."

Christian: "I should have known all along Elena wouldn't leave her husband. I'm an idiot for even thinking of the possibility."

Taylor: (shrugs) "She made you think she would leave him. That's not your fault. She has a habit of twisting the truth to fit her needs."

Christian: "I guess. In a way, I should have expected her to try talking to you about me. If she can't get to me personally, you are the next best thing."

Taylor: (shakes his head) "She might have had a chance if she would have made a decision and stuck with it. It's obvious that she truly wants you, but she made the mistake in going back to Linc. Because of that, she lost her chance with you." (raises his eyebrows) "Unless you are willing to give her another chance?"

Christian: (scoffs in disbelief) "Fuck, no!" (sighs deeply) "Elena had her chance with me. For reasons unknown to me, she went back to him." (shrugs) "Not my fault she regrets her choice."

(Taylor couldn't help his next question towards his boss)

Taylor: (tilts his head) "What would you do if Elena came to you, right now, and opened her heart to you, saying she loved you and made a mistake in letting you go?"

(Christian was almost ready to say 'hell no', yet something stopped him. He didn't know why, but he couldn't. He thought he was a complete idiot for thinking such thoughts. Elena hurt him deeply. She broke his heart when she went back to Linc. She made him believe in her. That she was going to divorce Linc. Christian was completely blindsided when she went back to her husband. This is why he made the decision not to do relationships. If one person could hurt him like that, the next person could do it twice as hard. He was not going through that again. He couldn't. His heart wouldn't allow it)

(Taylor could tell his inquiry about Elena made his boss sad. He immediately regretted the question)

Taylor: "It wasn't my intention to bring you down, Mr. Grey. It is obvious Mrs. Robinson hurt you a great deal. If I would've known, I wouldn't have asked about it."

(Christian shakes his head and briefly raises his hand at Taylor)

Christian: "No, it's not your fault. Don't blame yourself. To be honest, I have thought about that question many times." (sighs deeply) "Taylor, I don't need to tell you about Elena because you were there. You witnessed it...all of it."

Taylor: (nods) "Unfortunately. She hurt you a great deal. It angers me that she treats you like that and then tries to get you back when she realizes her mistake. I hope I'm not out of line when I say she got what she deserved."

Christian: "No, you're not." (chuckles) "In fact, both you and Gail have the same opinion. You both feel she made her bed, now she has to lie in it."

Taylor: "Yes, we totally agree on that matter."

(Christian closes his eyes and sighs deeply. He looks down and thinks for a moment. He faces his friend and shrugs)

Christian: "If Elena came to me and opened her heart like you said, telling me she made a mistake in leaving me..." (shakes his head) "I honestly don't know what I would do, Taylor. That would be the million dollar question, wouldn't it?"

(Taylor decides to change the subject to a happier topic; at least he thinks it would be one)

Taylor: (smiles a little) "Courtney told me you met the infamous Ana again."

Christian: (nods) "I did." (smiles slightly) "I was beginning to wonder if I ever would."

Taylor: "What happens now? I mean, now that you have finally found her?"

Christian: (sighs sadly) "If you're referring to whether or not I'm going to be with her, the answer is no."

(Taylor looks at his boss in slight confusion before speaking)

Taylor: "I don't get it, sir. You found her. You finally found her. I thought you would've jumped at the chance."

Christian: (shakes his head) "It's not that simple, Taylor. Yes, I finally found her. but it doesn't change the fact that I got badly burned by Elena." (sighs sadly) "I honestly don't know if I can take that chance. As much as I wouldn't mind exploring something with Ana, I don't know if I'm ready. I may never be."

(Taylor studies his boss' facial expressions and saw his pained face. He knew Christian felt a strong connection with Miss Steele. That part was obvious. Taylor wanted to permanently handle Elena for all the pain the woman caused. Not just to his boss, but someone he considered a friend, too. He would never do anything against Elena because of Christian. That doesn't mean he wasn't tempted to, though)

(Taylor nods sympathetically as he speaks)

Taylor: "You know your own heart, Mr. Grey. You know what you can tolerate. I know you have doubts about your feelings. Please trust them. Your heart knows what it wants."

(Christian raises his eyebrows and sighs doubtfully)

Christian: "My heart may be able to tolerate it, Taylor, but I'm not sure if I can."

(Meanwhile, at Elena and Linc's condo, she walks through the front doors of the place. She sees Linc sitting on the recliner reading the newspaper. She rolls her eyes in annoyance)

Elena: "You're still here."

Linc: (snorts) "I DO live here, you know. I know you don't like that at the moment." (shrugs) "If you have a problem with it, you are free to leave. No one is forcing you to stay here."

(She stands in front of him with her arms folded in a huff)

Elena: "I live here."

(He briefly tears himself away from his newspaper to face his estranged wife)

Linc: "As do I. I'm not leaving, so you better get over it right now."

Elena: (shrugs) "I can always force you to leave."

(Linc bursts out laughing at her baseless threat)

Linc: "I'd like to see you try. In case you didn't know, my clueless wife, I own this condo. It's in my name."

Elena: (glares at him) "It's in both of our names and you damn well know that."

Linc: (raises his eyebrows) "So you know some things after all. I'm shocked."

(In a fit of rage, she steps forward and grabs the newspaper from him and rips it up. After watching her do so, he folds his hands on his lap)

Linc: "You DO know that it's going to take a lot more to piss me off than to take my reading material away, right?"

Elena: (spits) "Fuck you!"

Linc: (smirks) "No, thanks. I'm not interested." (smugly) "Besides, you were never that good in bed."

Elena: (nods) "Christian was a lot better in bed than you ever were."

(Linc points to the front door)

Linc: "Go to him then." (smiles) "Oh, yeah. That's right. He doesn't want you anymore." (shrugs innocently) "Who are you going to use to fill the void where Christian used to be, my dear? Something tells me you don't have any replacements. Concerning him, I think you know he probably found a replacement for you by now."

(She leans forward and narrows her eyes at Linc)

Elena: "We will just see about that, won't we?"

***Later that Afternoon***

(In Christian's office, he leans back in his chair and picks up his phone. After resting it against his ear, he dials a number. After several rings, the person on the other end picks up)

Person: "Hello?"

Christian: "Hello, Miss Steele."

Ana: "Hi, Mr. Grey. What can I do for you?"

Christian: "I was hoping you could come to my office tomorrow morning at 10am if that works for you."

Ana: "Yes, I can. See you then."

Christian: "I look forward to it."

(After they both end the call, Christian looks forward in doubt)

Christian: "Am I doing the right thing?"
