Chapter 29

Elliot's POV

We are all in the SUV heading to GEH for the press release. Everybody is on edge. When we get there it is crazy. You would of thought the president is visiting GEH its so full with camera crew. Luckily we can use the underground parking and avoid walking thought the mob. Anna holds onto Christian like he is going to disappear and he does the same by tucking her under his arm giving her little kisses to remind her he cares and he is near.

We are sitting in the boardroom and Anna is sitting between Christian and I. She is holding onto our hand so tight my fingers are going numb. We told her she does not have to say a word today. Christian will do the interview by answering all the questions. She just needed to sit there and show her pretty face for the public to believe she is back and alive. It's also so that the police can close all the cases opened for Anastasia Rose Steele.

Christian POV

My baby is sitting next to me looking so sexy maybe I can give her a private tour of my office. She is so nervous sitting next to me she is squeezing the shit out of my hand so I just smile at her. We agreed to go public with our engagement today as well. I greet the audience in front of us and then read the statement my team wrote.

We are here today to notify the world of the safe return of miss Anastasia Rose Steele. She was abducted from a holiday trip near Hawaii and has been missing for the past 2 years. We cannot go into detail of what did occurred because it is a police case that is still ongoing. Miss Anastasia Steele and I are currently in a serious relationship together. She has consented to becoming my wife. We and her family would appreciate if you would respect our privacy and give us some time and space to get back to our normal lives before you'll decide to hound our every move. I will give you'll 10 questions then we are out of here. The questions need to be directed at me not Anastasia. She will not be answering any questions. I will be the only person answering Questions.

"Mr Grey was Ms. Steele on the island the whole 2 years?" "Yes she was."

"Mr Grey Are you'll getting married soon?" "We are not sure we have not discussed that yet, but I do hope in the near future she will be Mrs. Christian Grey."

"Mr Grey our sources tell us she is already Mrs. Grey can you explain?" "Your sources are indeed wrong she was never legally a Grey she has always been Steele."

"Mr Grey is it true that M.s Steele was in fact first in love with Mr Elliot Grey?" "No Ms. Steele and Mr Elliot Grey were never in love but they are best friends."

Mr Grey is it true that Ms. Steele was imprisoned in luxury accommodation? Really guys do you'll really believe that? No she was not put up in five star accommodations and she was not living in luxury.

Mr Grey is it true that the people who took Ms. Steele want her back? Yes, it is true, but we will do everything in our power to prevent that from happening. She is the love of my life and I will not allow her to be hurt.

Mr Grey would Ms. Steele be going back to live in her home country, South Africa? I do not know the answer to that question because it has not been discussed yet, but I will support Ms. Steele with what ever she decides she needs to do. We are going to be marries so if she wants to go back to South Africa then I am going with her.

Mr Grey does Ms. Steele and you live together in your penthouse? For Ms. Steele safety we will not discuss were she lives or with whom.

Mr Grey is it true that Mr Elliot Grey is jealous, with the relationship you and Ms. Steele have with his so called best friend? Of course my brother is not jealous of our relationship. It does not affect their friendship. It is because of Elliot Anna and I are together again. He made this happen.

Ms. Steele did you choose Mr Christen Grey because he is richer than Mr Elliot Grey?

Ok that's it; this is over let's go. No more bullshit questions. I want to know whom the asshole that asked that question is so I can get his sorry excuse for a reporter ass fired. Then we all get up and leave while the reporters are still screaming dozens of questions. We walk out the boardroom straight into the elevators and go up to the top floor were my office is. Before we step out she asks me.

"Christian they really think I'm with you for your money? You do know I do not want your money don't you? I only want you."

"Oh baby. Hey listen to me, I'm not going to say this again and after I say this the subject must stay closed. Love, those are just some stupid asshole reporters looking for a story to sell. I love you and you love me, don't let them get to you. I know you are with me for me. You do remember you chose to love me before you even knew I was Christian Grey. and if I am not mistaken you have a sizable bank account on your own baby

"That is so true baby I forgot about that. Thank you for reassuring me. I love you to." And they start a real intimate kiss in the elevator. Forgetting about everybody else.

"Come on guys get a room please you'll are making me Horney now."

"Fuck off Elliot "we both say together and everyone starts laughing.

Elliot and Alex leave us at GEH and take one of the SUV's to Elliot's home to collect his office stuff. I can see those fucking reporters have hit a sore spot for Anna. She is a very independent person that is now been labeled as gold digger. I have to convince her those peoples opinions do not matter.
