Chapter 51
Christian POV
I am so trilled to hear Bulldog is going to join us back in Seattle. He was so grateful about the orphanage ordeal. It was our pleasure to give back. When he showed us the video of them thanking us the entire room had tears in their eyes. We decided this would be our Christmas ritual. To help the needy kids enjoy Christmas every year. The cruise home was great. We all had fun. But there is nothing like been back home with the love of your life. Our house is complete and looks grand.
Ana POV
Driving up the driveway to our new house was overwhelming. It's so big. Wow it's a dream come true. We tour the house and its huge there are 4 guest rooms on the bottom floor, a state of the art kitchen, a dining room and TV room. The lounge has glass walls that slide away opening up the patio braai area that leads to the pool and back yard. We have a beautiful sea view and our own private beach. We go to the second floor and more bedrooms. 9 in total and a 30 seated Movie Theater, a gym with a fitted steam room and sauna. The third floor is out private floor. It has the master bedroom that is apparently sound proof. We have a gym situated in a glass room overlooking the sea, an office for Christian, and two spare bedrooms. There is a funny staircase that goes to the roof. We go up it's a private entertaining area with beautiful red sofas, a built-in braai, a heated pool and a Jacuzzi. The area has complete glass walls around and a roof that electronically comes out of the wall. It has blown my mind away. I turn to Christian and he is smiling.
" Do you like it all baby?" he asks me.
"Like it? Is that what you asking me? I can't even get the words to explain what I feel about the house. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever envision myself living in a place like this. So no I do not just like it. I love it. You have made me the happiest girl alive,"
"Well then my job is almost done. I am happy." Did he say almost done?
"Christian is there more? You said almost done." "Yes, baby just a little more come let me show you." I can see the naughty smile he has on his face. It's so cute I can't help smile to. We walk to the third floor and it's our master bedroom. It is absolutely magnificent. I gasp in surprise and I can tell he is pleased by my reaction. He shows me to a blank wall and I know he is using my security wall idea. I turn to him with a confused look and he wishers in my ear. "Who are you baby?" I giggle and say, "Mrs. Christian Grey" and the wall slides open exposing my huge walk in closet. All my clothes are on rotating rails it is so cool. I have a wall just for my boots and takkies and the few heels I own. This closet is a girls dreams come true. I can't help myself I take him in my arms and kiss him. We get a bit to passionate and manage to christen my closet walls and floor.
Christian POV
"Wow Ana that was hot baby you are amazing. Put your clothes back on, I got one more surprise." I help her put her clothes back on and take her to the back of her closet where the keypad and face scanner for an elevator is. I punch the code and put my face to the scanner. The elevator door opens and we step in and I press the button with the picture of a butterfly. It takes us down to her private lab. She is stunned to the spot. Very seldom I get to see a speechless Ana and I love that I can put that smile on her face. I explained what we have installed in her new lab and then left her to enjoy the space after I got another passionate kiss. I knew the first thing she is going to do is hit the gym. My Ana is so beautiful. So I went up to settle in the rest of my security team. I told Taylor to meet me in my office on the bottom floor in 1 hour for briefing.
Elliot POV
It's so good to be home. It's early and the sun is just coming up. I have missed this place and I have my special guest Katy. She is so sexy and she is a great lover in the bedroom. I changed into my gym clothes and went for a workout. My baby brother did mention he installed me a new office off my gym which was a brilliant idea. In there is a secret door that leads to an underground tunnel with a subway car that can carry 20 passengers. We decided to keep this a secret from everybody except our close security. It leads from my office to Ana's underground lab. He said if they or I, are under attack it a great escape route. So I go and check it out. It is the coolest thing I have ever seen. My construction team sure have been busy since we have been gone. Ana is surely rubbing off on him in a good way. I get in and put my hand on the palm scanner and the car moves. It takes 5 seconds to get to the other side. I get out and use my palm again and another door opens into Ana's lab were she is working the bag in her gym.
"Hey stranger enjoying your workout?" she spun around surprised to see me but she was smiling.
"Hey you. How did you get in?" I showed her what my baby brother installed and she was as totally impressed as I was. All she could do was burst into a fit of giggles and shake her head.
"I think you are a very positive influence on my baby brother Ana. Next he is going to be taking over my construction company. Better watch out you might be kicked out of your own lab soon." We both laugh and hit the mats together. We don't do any hard hitting just a bit of sparing and mat drops. I went back home and she went in search for Christian. Of course when I got home there was a very pissed Katy.
"Were the hell have you been Elliot? Oh let me guess at your brother's house?"
"Oh hello to you to baby. Did you have a good nap or did you get up on the wrong side of the bed? May I suggest you go back to bed and then try getting up on the other side, this time it might help you feel better." I could not help my sarcastic comment.
"Don't be a prick Elliot and answer my question."
"I was hitting the gym can you not see that?" And she storms off. What the fuck just happened? Do I have another Stacey on my hands or is this just the stress from the long trip?
Ana POV
My husband outdid himself as always. The house and lab is amazing. The subway is so cool. I can't wait to use it. It looks so fun to ride. We settled in well in our new life as husband and wife. The New Year party at Elliot's was fabulous. The surprise wedding the next day went off without a hitch. Gail was so overwhelmed. Taylor kept thanking me. They spent a glorious honeymoon in aspen. Christian went back to running GEH. It was a little lonely in this big house in the day. But all was good in the world. It was my birthday coming up and I wondered what my man has planned. He left early this morning for an early conference. I was in the kitchen when there was a knock on the door. I was surprised to find Christian's lawyer standing there.
"Good morning Mr Darcy but Mr Grey is at the office this morning." I tell him while still standing in the doorway.
"Yes Mrs. Grey I am aware of that. In fact it is you I need to speak to. I have legal matters we need to discuss." I escort him into the bottom office and tell him I will be back soon. I needed to change. He nodded and I left. I just have a funny feeling about this whole thing.
I pulled out my phone while running up to my bedroom. I need Christian or Elliot with me for this meeting. Since Elliot is still home because Katy is still around he can be here the fastest. It rings a few times and Katy answers his phone.
"Hello Elliot's phone can I take a message?" she says making me giggle.
"Hey Katy its Ana may I please speak to Elliot."
"He is unavailable at the moment Ana so no you can't speak to him." Why has her tone changed she seems angry with me. This is weird. Katy has never been that girl. I wonder what happened?
"Katy please this is very important. Its kind of an emergency. I have to have him with me to hear what the lawyer says. I think it is to do with Mr Paul and the stuff he has to give me. So please put him on the phone." Why the hell am I trying to convince her? What is her fucking problem?
"Ana I told you once and I am going to tell you again. Elliot is unavailable to you so please sort your shit out on your own from now on. If you have such an emergency I am sure your husband can come to your aid. My boyfriend is here to tend to my needs and you and you're controlling freak of a husband always seem to come between us. Every time you call he leaves me high and dry and runs to your rescue. It is starting to get very pathetic now." I can't believe what I have just heard. My eyes are full if tears and I take a huge breath of air to calm myself down and hang up the phone. Maybe she is right I can do this on my own I am a big girl.
Katy POV
I am sick and tired of Elliot always running to Ana and Christian. Ana, Ana, Ana it makes me fucking sick. He is so fucking pathetic. Why the fuck do I still stick around? She has a husband who she can rely on so why does she need my man to. I only answered his phone because he was in the shower and I saw it was her. She deserved to know the truth and it is time for her to move on. Yes she is my cousin but that still that does not give her the right to control my man. As for Christian I am going to have a word with him too also ask him to back off a bit as well. Everybody seems to be crowding us and I just want to have Elliot to myself.
"Hey Katy baby. Did I heard my phone ring just now? Who was it baby?" Elliot asks me so I lie a bit and tell him it was Ana saying she will be unavailable today and for us not to disturb her because she is working on something big in her lab. So he says we will spend the day relaxing by the pool together just up my ally. Finally I get him all to myself. Maybe I should suggest he move to South Africa with me then I don't have to share him with his family. Maybe we will.
Ana POV
I go down and sit in the chair opposite MR. Darcy and he hands me a folder. I am blown away when I read what is in there. It is legal documents stating that from the time I turned 21, I became the owner of API the biggest shipping company in America. I also now own an equestrian farm out west and I got a check for 12 million dollars. I go cold because I know the meaning of that figure. The amount the fucker paid for me at the slave auction. I take deep breaths to calm myself so I can deal with this lawyer. I don't want to show him how rattled I am.
"Mr Darcy I do not want or need any of this. So please do me a favor and tell MR Paul and his lawyers he can keep all things."
"Mrs. Grey, but I am sorry you do not have a choice. This is already in your name. You have legally signed all the documents already. To make things more complicated you done it in front of a commissioner of oath. It is all very legal and legit. Everything is already transferred over to you. I just came to drop off the final paperwork and all the keys. The farm is values at 6 million dollars and the company is worth billions. Thank you Mrs. Grey and have a good day." And he gets up and sees himself out. I sit there with this info in my hands and cry and cry. I thought I got rid of this man. Even in jail he is still trying to control me. I decide I need to see my husband.
I run up to my room and find my riding gear. I put it on and look at myself in the mirror this leather suit looks so hot and sexy. My husband is going to object to me going out in public looking like this but I feel so good. It highlights all the right curves. I walk downstairs and go to the garage. I put the documents safely under the bike seat and leave for GEH. I am so stressed out I completely forget about security. Fuck Christian is going to be so pissed off at me but I can't worry about that now.
Elliot POV
Where the hell is Ana going? I can hear by the way she is revving her bike she is angry. i wonder what happened? Katy told me she was busy on a secrets project and didn't want to be disturbed today. I looked over and Katy and I can see she is hiding something from me. What the fuck did she do?
"Katy did Ana really phone to say she didn't want to be disturb today?"
"Listen Elliot. Hear me out please. Every time we are enjoying each others company someone always interrupts. It's always one of your family members that always spoils it for me. Almost every time it is to do with Ana or Christian. They are smothering you and it is not fair nor is it good for you to rely on them all the time. You have a life of your own and you have me now baby so technically no she did not call for that but I told her how I felt about you. I also told her she needs to grow up and stop depending on you. I told her she is too emotionally dependent on you and it is not healthy for her. I told her to not rely on you again and if she is in trouble she should call her husband. I was only looking out for you babe."
What the fuck is wrong with these controlling women in my life. I sure as hell got terrible luck when it comes to women. She has a fucking nerve interfering in my fucking personal life. I do hope Ana is ok. Christian is going to have my balls on a platter when he hears about this. I am furious and can't help the rise in my voice.
"What the fuck is wrong with you Katy? Are you fucking crazy? You had no fucking right to interfere in my personal relationship with Ana. Or to be fucking concerned about the amount of time I spend with my brother. Now tell me what the fuck she phoned for? You better not fucking lie to me again."
"I'm sorry Elliot. Calm down. She called to ask you to come over because there was some lawyer guy there, wanting to give her stuff from a Mr Paul dude. She said it was an emergency and didn't know if she could do it alone. So I told her that everything with her is an emergency and she must suck it up and sort it out alone. Then I hung up. And we went to the pool. See no big deal baby."
I had no words for her. Shit this is fucking bad. I call Bulldog and ask him where are they going? He sounded confused and said he was at home and was not going anywhere. I informed him I heard Anna's bike drive out and he cursed said he will meet me at the main gate in 10 minutes. I informed Katy that Alex is on his way to escort her to the airport. She needs to pack her fucking shit up and be gone by the time I get back. I will not be around untrustworthy people who are out to get my family. She was furious but I didn't care. I ran upstairs and changed into my riding gear, got on my bike and rode to meet with bulldog. He is on Christians bike. We leave the property to go find Ana
