So, here it is the last chapter of The Betrayal, thank you all for your support and going on this journey with me. I have to say, I was never as hesitant to post a story as I have been with this one but you all have been so amazing and I can't wait to share my new story with all of you. Tomorrow I'm going to upload the epilogue for this story and next week I'm going to start with my new story which is going to be called The Choices We Make :)

3 months later

Kate

I cannot believe this is happening. I'm outside the courtroom with my three lawyers waiting for them to finish their briefing. As if I would listen to any of it. I'm the victim in this situation. I may have pushed Ana, but this is ridiculous, I have been in prison for over eight months now, fucking Elliot has divorced me and my own parents are no longer talking to me. Ethan has visited me twice and left angry both times because he doesn't want to see how all of this is Christian's fault and not mine.

Oh, I hate the fucking son of a bitch. If it wasn't for him none of this would have happened!

„Let's go inside, Miss Kavanagh." My lawyer says and I glare at him, but start to walk. Inside I look at the people watching the trial and stop when I see Christian glaring at me, one arm wrapped around Ana who is obviously pregnant again. Urghh, I hate them both. Next to them is Elliot who is looking at me stone-faced and then I see that he is holding someone's hand and I see that next to him is the fucking nanny. This is ridiculous, he went from being married to a woman like me to fucking a little lamb like Cadie? Looks like that is the best he can do now.

I still want to take the stand, I know I can make the jury and the judge understand that I only did what I had to do. If I'm good at anything, then it's convincing people to be on my side. my lawyers, however, are strictly against it and so I have to sit here, in a fucking courtroom and listen to people talk about me like I'm some sort of monster. I mean seriously, Ana is fine, Arielle is fine, so why are they making such a god damn fuss. I just hope this is going to be over soon, so I can finally leave this shitfest behind me and start over, preferably as far away as possible from Christian fucking Grey as humanly possible.

Three hours later I'm horrified, Elliot made it sound like I'm the most despicable person on earth when I have done nothing to deserve all of this and the fucking shrink says while I'm able to tell right from wrong, I'm showing tendencies of being delusional and sociopathic. What a fucking idiot, I'm neither of those things and if I would just be allowed to take the stand I could prove it to everyone.

After another hour of so-called evidence, there is a break and I'm led outside the courtroom and down a hallway when I see Ana with the little slut Elliot is now fucking.

„You have to tell them, Ana! You know I'm a good person, I'm your best friend, god damn it!" I yell at her and she doesn't even look at me.

„Come, Ana, don't even listen to her." the little bitch says and I want to strangle her.

„Who the hell do you think you are, you little slut?!" I snap at her ignoring my lawyers who are trying to force me to move.

„Oh that's simple, I'm her sister in law and by the way, it's Mrs. Grey to you." The little bitch says just as Elliot and Christian reach them.

„You married that little bitch?"

„Careful Kate, I don't like the way you are addressing my wife. Oh and before I forget it since you lost all parental rights to my children, Cadie didn't just marry me, she also adopted my children... have a good one, Kate." the bastard says and has the balls to fucking smirk at me before they walk away.

„You fucking son of a bitch. I hate you, I always hated you!" I scream and as a result, end up being restraint and dragged away. I hate the fucking Greys, all of them, I hope they all will burn in hell one day!

Christian

„Are you okay, baby?" I ask Ana who seems a bit shaken by her encounter with Kate.

„Yes, I'm fine, I just really didn't want to have to talk to her. Can we go and have lunch now?"

„Sure, let's get out of here. We don't have to be here for the pleas. We can come back for sentencing which won't be until tomorrow."

„That's good." She says and so we leave the courthouse and head to a restaurant along with Elliot and Cadie. Mia and Ethan wanted to go to watch the trial too, but changed their mind last minute and took their kids on a family trip instead. I get it, she is his sister and it's easier for him to not see what she has become. If the roles were reversed and this was my sister, I don't know how I would be dealing with it.

The next day Ana isn't feeling well, so I met with Elliot and Cadie and we go to court together. The jury has already found her guilty after only an hour and this morning the judge is going to sentence her. I'm just glad that it is over. With Kate being dealt with, I feel like this entire nightmare of everything that has happened to us is finally completely over and we all can move on.

Though looking at my brother, he already has moved on. Christ, first he needed months and nearly losing Cadie to see what all of us already knew and then only a months after she was back he proposed to her and they got married last month. I have to say, I get a kick out of her family. All of her brothers still try to take the piss out of Elliot at any given chance and her Dad would never admit that he actually likes Elliot, even though it is pretty obvious. But my brother happily ignores all of that, mainly because he only has eyes for his wife and kids.

„Let's hope this goes quick, I didn't get to have my way with my wife this morning." Elliot mutters and I laugh when Cadie kicks him.

„What, I didn't." He smirks.

„Honestly, how did you get through life with no filter until now?" She mutters and he kisses her.

„Pretty good actually, and I still got you." He grins, but then we have to go inside and watch as Kate gets led into the courtroom with her lawyers. For someone who just was found guilty of attempted murder she looks pretty relaxed, almost as if the crazy bitch still doesn't realize that this is going to be her last trip out of prison for a long time if not even the rest of her life, which is what I am hoping for.

We get up as the judge gets in and he seems to want this over with to as he starts right away.

„Miss Kavanagh, I have seen and heard a lot of things in my time as a judge. You, however, have managed to surprise me. Not only have you not shown any kind of remorse for your wrongdoings, you also have not stopped to see yourself as the victim in this trial. So, let's talk about your role in all of this. You are from a good, well-respected family, grew up being handed all your hearts desires. You went on to get a good education, got married, gave birth to three healthy children and still, you never appreciated any of it. You in fact, as testified by your husband had to be bribed into giving birth to your children and never actually cared for them, which is a pity, because most often our children will teach us the most valuable lessons in life. You, however, have decided to waste all of your adult life by being obsessed with your brother in law and the fact that once upon a time he rejected your attempts to get to know him. And it wasn't because you were in love, a feeling I'm not quite sure you are capable of in regards to other people. No, you got obsessed because by rejecting you, you didn't get the dream life you wanted as a billionaire's wife. You watched your best friend get married to the man you wanted to use for your benefit and got married to his brother just to get a prestigious name, which is despicable. Now, this should have been the end of it, but when you saw your chance for your revenge you took it. I don't believe for one second that you pushed Anastasia Grey, who has highly pregnant at the time, down those stairs to keep Mr. Grey away. No, you pushed him because you knew that by murdering his wife and unborn child you would break him too." The judge says and there are gasps throughout the courtroom when over the monitor everyone in attendance can see the small smirk on Kate's face.

I knew the bitch was crazy, but right now I want to get up and beat the hell out of her.

„Ignore her, I promised Ana you wouldn't do anything stupid and we both know I can't hold you back if you try to jump the bitch." Cadie says quietly and I look at her.

„Is it that obvious that I want to snap her neck?"

„Yes, so please don't make me break my promise by getting arrested." She says and gets a flipping stress toy from her purse which she hands to me, making Elliot cough to hide his laughter, just before the judge continues.

„Miss Kavanagh, frankly, I want you out of this courtroom as soon as possible, so I will not tell you how I truly feel about your behavior right now." He says and gets up.

„Katherine Kavanagh, you are hereby sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for the next fifty years." He says and I sigh in relief.

We continue to listen until everyone can leave and we are just outside when Kate is led away screaming and cussing until she sees me.

„I hate you, you fucking son of a bitch, believe me, if you are still alive in fifty years from now, I will fucking kill you!" She screams before she is dragged away.

„Man, did I mention that I like your second wife a lot better than the first one?" I smirk and we all have to laugh before we leave the courtroom and this nightmare behind us for good.

3 1/2 months later - Christian

„Can't sleep?" I murmur when I here Ana move in bed in the middle of the night.

„No, my back hurts so bad... Christian, I don't think this child is ever going to come out."

„He will." I say calmly and start to rub her back.

„I was due five days ago and I have tried everything to get labor started, but this child does not want to come out... and we don't know if it's a he or a she because it also didn't want to show us that." She whines and I try not to laugh. I know she is just exhausted, but everyone keeps telling us that the baby is fine and that we don't need to think about getting induced until we reach the seven-day mark.

„Do you want me to draw you a bath?" I ask knowing that it helps with her aching back.

„No... I don't know... Christian, why doesn't our baby want to come out?" She asks and I kiss her shoulder.

„He will, Ana. I promise you by the end of the week he will be there."

„How can you be so sure it is a boy?" She asks.

„Well, if you try to snap a nude of a girl without asking they would try to cover their boobs and privates... this little guy was only trying to cover his junk." I joke and hear her beautiful giggle.

„You are terrible... and on second thought I take the bath... care to join me?" She asks.

„Want me to try to fuck you into labor again?" I smirk.

„Are you complaining?"

„No, I'll get you when the tub is filled." I say and kiss her before I leave the bed, draw the bath and then carry her into our bathroom.

„I can get in myself." She protests when I pick her up bridal style after she is undressed.

„Ana, you can also slip and fall, thereby assuring that I get a heart attack, so no, you cannot get in by yourself." I say as a matter of fact while slowing sitting her down in the warm water before I get in behind her.

„Better, baby?"

„A bit, I'm sorry for being so whiny, Christian, but I'm just done with being pregnant." She says and I wrap my arms around her.

„I know, baby and you don't ever have to apologize for that, I know you are exhausted and uncomfortable." I murmur and kiss her neck while my hands cup her breasts.

„So, you want me to try to get this show on the road."

„Yes." She sighs as I start to play with her nipples.

„You like that?"

„Yes... uh-oh!" She suddenly says.

„What?"

„My water just broke." She says looking at me.

„Are you sure?"

„Yes, can you please get me out of here." She asks and for a second I'm frozen, fuck, it's happening.

„Christian!"

Shit, get it together, Grey! After a moment I compose myself, get out of the tub, quickly grab some towels and wrap her into one, after I have gotten her out of the tub and carry her back to the bed, where I quickly get dressed and then call my Mom, Ana's doctor and, the midwife, while constantly checking on Ana who seems calm and collected, while I'm scared that I'm going to lose it any second now.

Until the sun comes up everything is relatively calm, Ana has contractions, but they are still over ten minutes apart, so we have decided to go out for a walk to help her contractions to pick up.

Around nine Mia stops by to pick Arielle up and we just wait. At one point Ana and I are on the bed playing cards, which I have never envisioned to do while my wife is in labor, but something about her going through this at home is just so relaxing and calming that I now finally understand why this has been her wish for the delivery of our child.

When noon comes around Ana is fully dilated and her contractions are coming in about every two minutes, still, she surprises me by joking around with her doctor and the midwife. Since Ana wants to do this without any pain relief, I had her midwife teach me some acupressure techniques which seems to help her whenever a contraction reaches its peak and it makes me feel not completely useless in this situation which is also good, because this gives me something to do to stop me from panicking while watching Ana go through this.

In the early afternoon I'm convinced that my wife is the strongest person on earth because there is no sound coming from her lips even though she is in full blown labor, instead she is holding my hand and the hand of my mom while pushing to the count of the midwife and before I can fully understand what is happening she lifts something up and onto Ana's chest.

It all happened so fast that I need to blink several times until I finally realize that it happened, the baby is here.

„Do you like your son?" Ana asks me with the biggest smile and we all laugh when just like he did in the womb he is trying to cover his little junk with his hand.

For the next fifteen minutes we just look at the little guy who is now asleep swaddled in a soft blanket, then my mom and I go to the bathroom to check on him and bath him while the doctor is making sure Ana is fine and only an hour after our son has been born we are alone with him in our bed.

„Time to negotiate his name, Mrs. Grey." I tell her with her smile because until now we just couldn't agree on a name for our child. I had two names I liked for a boy and a girl respectively, but Ana liked different names.

„Open the drawer on your nightstand and take out the little box with the blue bow." She says and curiously I do. In the box is a tiny platinum bracelet and engraved on it is the name Wyatt Theodor Grey, the name I had picked.

„Are you sure."

„Yes, and maybe next time you can open the other box and we'll have a Phoebe Grace." She says and I lean in to kiss her before I put the little bracelet on our son's wrist.

„Thank you, baby, thank you so much. I love you."

„And I love you, Mr. Grey... always have, always will."

The End
