I finally did it I claimed what is mine and she claimed me in the process. I feel like I am truly master of the universe now I know Ana will want to talk about what's next and what kind of relationship we will have but I have to deal with the fucker in my basement first. I need to end him once and for all so me and my girl can be together and be happy. I am so glad that my mother had her trusty video camera with her so I can get the pleasure of watching Ana dance over and over. I am angry other men got to see it but now everyone knows she belongs to me.
Ana gets into Mia's car and I am pissed off as I wanted her to ride home with me but I know how my sister can be. I tell Ana to come up to my apartment as soon as she is ready so we can have dinner together seeing the shy look she gives me is so hot. Once I am back in my apartment I bring my laptop out from my office and sit on my breakfast bar going over emails while I ask Mrs. Taylor if she could make a nice dinner for me and Ana. Instead of working I can't help but watch a video on my laptop to try and happily pass the time. I press pause immediately as I hear the elevator ding thinking its Ana I rush to see her. I am more than disappointment when I see that it's my dumbass brother.
"Chris Dad wants Hyde taken care of now. He said you have had your fun now it's time to end it."
"For fucks sake EL. I am waiting for Ana so we can have dinner together like that fucker can't wait a few hours."
"I am just following orders bro. I know you're gagging for some of Ana but just slit the fuckers throat and walk away quick and easy."
"Let's go"
I would say I was pissed off now but that would not even begin to describe how am feeling. I know the life I lead and I understand that the job comes first but all I wanted was to spend a little time with my girl is that too much to ask. It's like fucking Carrick knows when am about to have a bit of happiness and wants to shit all over it. I will have to have a serious conversation with him about Ana as he needs to realize that she is mine and she will be a part of this family if he likes it or not.
Once I arrive at the basement I can see that little fucker smirking at me it's like he is enjoying being tortured by me he is such a sick fuck.
" Aye Grey you do know I fucked your girl really good I had her screaming for me and begging me for more." my be quick and just kill him attitude has now gone out of the window as I am now going to make that fucker pay for what he has just said.

"We kissed OMG!" I scream while Mia is driving I think I nearly caused her to crash. I can't believe that me and Christian finally kissed and wow just wow I imagined it to be good but it was so hot and steamy. I know I have failed in my mission to stay away from him but there is only so much a girl can resist I mean look at him you can't blame me for wanting him. I am glad he has asked me to dinner tonight so we can actually talk and I can maybe put my mind at ease a little. My main worry is his appetite for women and then my second worry is his dad I don't want to be hated by the parents of the man am dating as that only causes trouble for everyone involved.
"Hello Ana snap out of it I have been talking to you."
"Am sorry Mia I guess I am a little distracted."
" I wonder who could be your distraction I guess my brother has charmed you more than I thought."
"Yes it's your brother who is on my mind. I just have a lot of questions and things I need to know before anything develops."
"ANA WE ARE GOING TO BE SISTERS ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Ouch my ears Mia why are you shouting."
"I am excited you and Christian will have a beautiful wedding and make some beautiful babies I am so excited."
"Slow down there crazy we have only kissed and you're already planning the future. I think Christian wouldn't be happy with you
filling my head with nonsense."
"You just wait sister all those things will be happening and you won't be waiting long trust me."
Mia decides to help me pick out an outfit for tonight and I think she has gone overboard as I am only having dinner at Christians apartment and you would think I was headed to the Ritz. I take a shot of vodka before I make my way up to Christians place as I am so nervous I really want to kick my heels off and run back to my apartment once I am in the elevator. The elevator won't allow me to go to Christians floor so I call Mia and she gives me to code and tells me the Elevator will open directly into his place.
The ride is quick as Christian lives directly above me I wish we lived further apart as I would have had more time to calm my nerves. Once the Elevator doors open and I step into his apartment I feel more calm and excited. I call out for Christian but I get no answer I make my way to the kitchen as I thought I saw someone in there. I get a fright when a woman pops out at me introducing herself to me as Taylor's wife. She tells me Christian will be back soon and I should take a seat and she will get me a drink.
Mrs. Taylor places a glass of wine in front of me and I grab it a little too quickly and knock Christians laptop in the process. I see the screen light up and I can't help but look at the screen. I am in shock to what I am seeing Christian has watched me in the shower I thought I was crazy feeling like someone was watching me in there but now I know it is true. Before I can even react I hear a voice behind me.
"Now what do you think of my pervert son now Anastasia?"
"Mr Grey why are you here?"
"I came to speak to my son. How about we go and see him and get to the bottom of his peeping Tom antics."
I feel like I have no choice but to with Mr Grey I send a quick text to Mia just so she knows what's going on well I left out the pervert brother bit as I don't think she needs to know about that. I see Mr Grey click basement when we are in the Elevator and I start to fear that he will do something to me.
"Don't worry Anastasia I am not taking you the basement to hurt you Christian is down there I am just taking you to him so relax." Am I that easy to read as he knew what I was thinking.
After what feels like hours we finally arrive at the basement. I hear a lot of noise but do not see anyone. Mr Grey directs me around a corner and That's where I see Christian. All I can do is scream as I am frozen in place. Christians extremely dark eyes meet mine and he looks more panicked than me. Mr. Grey heads towards Christian and I instantly run back to where the Elevator is. The doors shut as I see Christian running towards me. I take my phone out and call the only other person I really know in Seattle other than Mia as I need to seriously get away from Escala and anything Grey related.
I am relieved that the ground floor entrance is only two floors up I run out of the elevator and out of the front doors so fast I am breathless. I get a cab so quickly which shocks me as they usually take forever. I am in the cab for fifteen minutes and I remember to switch my phone off as I know Mia mentioned that Christian has tracked her down via her phone. My cab stops and I pay the driver and get out. Kate is standing at the front of her building waiting for me.
"Hey Ana you sounded really upset on the phone are you ok." She reaches out and hugs me and I hug her back and just cry.
"No am not ok Kate thank you for this I know we have not really gotten close but I appreciate this."
Once inside she tells me that she has left some pajamas in the bathroom for me and I can shower and change if I like. I am in the shower far longer than planned I have spent an hour in here I feel really rude that I have just left Kate to it. I head out and shout for Kate and apologize and I am met by someone I did not think I would see here.
"Hey Ana how you doing?"
"Hi Elliot."
CarrickPOV
My wife always said that I get some sick pleasure out of fucking with Christians head and I can honestly say I know believe her. I made sure Ana came down to the basement with me so she could see my son cut the throat of that Hyde fucker. I know Anastasia would run from him and I can honestly say that I am beaming with joy at my son's misery it's the only way I can make him learn. I have never wanted to hurt my children but Christian needs to wise up if he is going to take my place. I can't allow some piece of ass coming around and throwing him off his game.
I can be a reasonable man I really can and if Anastasia was going to be some girl he just fucks then I would have no problem at all but my son Is all mesmerized by her and I know he wants more of a relationship with her. If we Grey's get into a serious relationship, we marry weeks after we get together and now I don't want marriage and a family for Christian as I know he will want out. I know he will pick her over the family business and I won't stand for it.
My wife has not given it up to me since that fucking disaster dinner I am actually growing sick of her denying me of what is mine. If our relationship was different she would be taught a lesson and would never refuse me again but I love my wife more than life itself and I won't resort to those types of behaviour. She even told me to get a mistress yesterday as she is that angry with me she said go put your dick in another bitch because I am closed indefinitely. I know she doesn't mean it and she knows I would never stray away from home.
I will be honest if Christian wasn't set to take over from me I would allow him and Anastasia to be happy and do as they please. If it was Elliot with Anastasia, I would have welcomed her with open arms but Christian needs to keep his focus. Yes, I am soft with Elliot and Mia and I am very harsh with Christian but I am just teaching him valuable lessons he is going to need later in life. I seem cruel and a complete ass but I do what I do to protect him and the business and the family.
"Carrick are you fucking out of your mind. You brought Ana down here knowing what I was doing how could you fucking do that?" Great my son is having a hissy fit.
"I was in your apartment when Ana saw the video of her showering on your laptop and she wanted to see you so I brought her to you."
"I am sure your loving this Carrick you knew exactly what you were doing by bringing her here. If anything happens to her while she is running scared, I am going to come after you father or not you will be sorry if even one hair on her head is out-of-place."
ELLIOTPOV
My dad has finally done it this time no woman should have to see anything we do behind the scenes it is just wrong. I chase after Christian as I know he will go straight after Ana but I can't allow him to leave covered in blood.
"Don't fucking try to stop me EL I need to go after her"
"Not full of blood you don't go upstairs get cleaned up and ask T to check the lobby security cameras to see if Ana left the building."
He just nods at me and heads up to his room me on the other hand I am going to visit my secret girlfriend as I need a good tension release and she knows how to make feel good. On the drive to see my girl I can't help but think about Christian I hate the way our dad fucks with him so much I really like Ana and I know she would make Christian happy and that's what he needs. Dad has no faith in him where I do I know he can be the Don be CEO and be a husband and a father I just know he can.
Once I see my girl open the door my troubles are instantly gone. I push her back into the apartment and have her pinned against the wall before she can even say hello. I am ravishing her but she pulls away and puts a stop to it which confuses me.
"Elly we can't do that now as Ana is here she is really upset but wouldn't tell me what has happened."
"Babe why don't you drive to our favourite Italian and get us take out am sure Ana will be hungry to."
"Anything for you hot stuff. If Ana comes in here, tell her I won't be long and be good company."
I know I shouldn't have got rid of Kate but I know there is a risk of Ana saying something once she sees am here so I thought it would be best all-around for Kate not to be here. I see Ana panic the second she sees me but she doesn't look scared which is good I thought she would think I was here to hurt her. She calmly sits down in the chair facing me and just looks at me as if she is waiting for me to say something. I get my phone from my pocket and tell her Kate has text me but I am lying. I am letting Christian know where Ana is and that she is safe.
"Elliot I am really confused and I have no idea how to process all of this. Are you here to hurt me." I feel bile rise up into my throat as she speaks as I would never hurt a woman.
" I know shit is confusing but trust me Christian will explain everything and help you to make sense out of it all and no I am not here to hurt you Kate is my Girlfriend we have kept it a secret for a while now."
"So I am guessing you have told Christian that I am here." I can see the panic on her face and I actually feel guilty.
"Yes he knows but please Ana give him a chance to speak to you I know what you saw was horrific and you should have never seen it but Christian can be more honest with you know. Please believe me Ana that my brother would never harm you or allow you to be
harmed if he can control it."
I don't have any more time to talk to her as there is a knock on the door and I know it will be Christian. He looks like shit I see the way he looks at Ana and I know he is in love with her, I just hope he can talk to Ana and hopefully she will stay with him. I know it's a huge thing to ask of someone but I know these two would make such an amazing couple. I see Kate park her car into her driveway and I get into the car and tell her to drive us to our hotel we use in emergencies and I will try to explain on the way what's going on.
