An:: first off so sorry for the long time to update. I've gone back to college but have adjusted to my work. I hope for more updates. By the way I hit a 100 followers for this story! Yay me! Okay enjoy the chapter.
Christian POV
The night had been so incredible long, and oddly enough I didn't have one nightmare. I felt so bad because I don't think that Ana got much sleep. Once I had thought that she was sleeping peacefully she would start to scream and cry so hard. The worst part was that I didn't fucking know how to make her feel better. I wasn't good at the kind of stuff; I've never been the type to comfort anyone. I stood staring out her bedroom window, as she finally laid asleep. I sighed softly, and knew that this was all my fault.
"What are you doing?" Ana's still half asleep asked me. I spun around to her still covered by the blankets. "Why don't you come back to bed?" She asked softly, her eyes showed the lack of sleep.
I walked back over to her and sat on the edge of the bed. "Baby," I whispered and pulled her face to mine. "You're exhausted. You need to get some more sleep." My tone was stern, but light as I didn't want to scare her. "Go back to sleep." I encouraged.
Ana sighed and slightly rolled her eyes. A soft growl escaped my mouth as she knew that I hated when she did that. "Will you join me, Mr. Grey?" A slow smirk spread across her face.
"To sleep. That's all," I told her as I got into the bed with her. I leaned down and whispered into her ear. "Even though I want to fuck you so bad right now; I won't. You need sleep."
"Yes, sit," she replied mocking. She laid down on her pillow and sighed. "It's over, Christian," she spoke softly, closing her eyes. "Hyde and Lelia are behind bars right now."
"I know. Sleep baby," I whispered, and had not realized just how tired I was. I closed my eyes, and before I even knew anything I had fallen asleep.
I woke to the sound of my vibrating blackberry. I slowly tired to get out of bed without waking Anastasia. "Grey," I answered into the phone as I stepped into the hallway to find my brother and Kate in the living room. Elliot attempted to make some attempt to talk, but I held up a hand as I made my way into an room that seemed empty.
"Sir," Taylor voice floated through the phone. "I just wanted to call with some news. And to make sure you and Ms. Steele were fine," he quickly added. "I didn't hear from you yet."
"We're fine, Taylor," I quickly responded, but knew that I needed to talk to Sawyer and Taylor. I had left Sawyer in charge of Ana's safety and he didn't do that. "What do you need to tell me?"
"There's no easy way to tell you this sir," he was nervous. "Jack Hyde made bail." The words came out in a nervous strutted.
"Fuck!" I yelled into the phone, and had to resist the urge to kick something. "Fucking A!" I hissed out, and took a deep breath. "Who?" I wanted to know who the hell would have that kind of money. I didn't know that Jack had any friends with that amount of money.
"We don't know yet. We're working on it." Taylor informed me, and quickly cleared his throat. "I promise that I have a team on the way for you and Ana. I also sent men with your mother and sister."
"Thank you, Taylor. Keep working!" I ordered, and hit the end button on the phone call. I walked back out into the living room to see Elliot and Kate.
Kate jumped onto her feet, and narrowed her eyes at me. "What are you doing here?" She hissed. "You're the whole reason that Anastasia was taken. Ever since you've been with her you've done nothing but hurt her."
"Babe," Elliot scowled, and stood on his feet placing a hand on her shoulder. "Go easy on him."
Kate turned to face Elliot and scoffed. "Why?" She demanded. "Ana's my best friend, and he's done nothing but hurt her!"
"That isn't true!" Ana stood on the edge of the room. Her hair was still messy from sleep, and she still looked exhausted. "Kate, I know you care but..." She trailed off.
"But what, Ana?" Kate crossed her arms across her chest. "This guy beat you. He got you kidnapped. He's not what you deserve." She turned to face Elliot, and gave him a 'I'm sorry' look.
"You just don't understand why I love this man, Kate." Ana shook her head. "There is no way that you would even begin to understand."
"Enlighten me then, Ana."
I couldn't help but start to chuckle as Kate told her that. I looked over at Ana to see her laughing as well. Confusion washed over Kate and Elliot's face as we started to laugh harder. I slowly walked over to Ana. "What are you doing up?"
"I woke up, and you weren't there." She replied, and looked over at Kate. "I know you care, but this is my life. I love him." She spoke softly, and reached over gently taking my hand.
"I love her too." I reached down and lightly kissed her. I pulled her close to me and simply held her. I had come so close to losing her last night and Mia. I kissed the top of her head.
Elliot cleared his throat making me turn to face him. "Mom called," he held Kate around her wait. "She wants to have dinner tonight with everyone. She's worried." He sighed softly.
"Alright," I turned back towards Ana. "You up to going to dinner with my parents?" I didn't want to put too on Ana but I knew that I had to go dinner. My mother worried much more than she should.
"Of course," Ana took my hand and looked over at Kate and Elliot. A soft yawn escaped her mouth. "Tonight right?"
"Yes, but let's get you back to bed Ms. Steele." I ushered her back the bedroom, and could still feel Kate's glare on me.
Ana POV
Christian and I had spent most of the rest of the day sleeping but I still couldn't get the images out of my head. Hyde was the last person that I would have expected and the motive. It was no secret that Christian was adopted but Jack had been too. I was just glad that had gotten caught, but Christian seemed to avoid the subject and kept pushing me to sleep.
I yawned as I dressed for dinner and sighed softly. The nice t-shirt that I had chosen looked nice and sparkled, and I had chosen a cute mid heigh black skirt. I walked over to see Christian as we had to stop by his apartment so he could get dressed. I had urged that he go but he didn't want to leave me alone. "So?" I questioned, as his grey eyes just stared at me.
"Fucking beautiful, Ana," Christian stood off the bed, pulling me into a kiss. He broke the kiss and groaned. "The things that I want to do to." He murmured.
"It will have to wait. You have to get dressed and we have to go see your parents." I tried to hide my grin as Christian face turns stunned. His mouth presses into a hard line and I wonder if I have angered him.
Christian shakes his head and pins me against the wall. "I remember the last time you went to my parents you went without your panties." He reached down under my skirt and found my panties. He frowns. "Not interested in revisiting old memories?"
"Nope," I mocked and kissed him pushing away from him. I smirked and knew that I needed the confidence in dealing with Christian. "Come on, your mom will wonder why we're late."
Christian and I went to his apartment, and he changed into a nice shirt and pants. I couldn't help but sigh at how easy it is for Christian to look stunning. Christian and I tired to keep the conversation normal but it was hard because everything that happened was still there.
After a few moments we pulled into Christian parents house. I couldn't help but be nervous as this was Christian parents. He opened the door for me, and smiled as we walked to the door. The door opened and we walked in to see Elliot and Kate already there.
"Christian! Ana!" Christian mother Grace exclaimed walking over to hug us. "I'm glad you could come to dinner."
"We wouldn't miss it," Christian replied, and walked over to Mia. He pulled her into a hug. "How are you doing?"
Mia sighed softly, and shrugged. "I'm okay," she looks over towards me. "I'm fine, Christian, really." She spoke turning towards her mother. "Can we eat now?"
"Of course," Grace replied, leading everyone towards the dining room. She walked over towards me and smiled. "I'm glad that you're okay." She whispered, giving my arm a small squeeze.
"Me too," I murmured. Even since my talk with Grace I couldn't help but feel closer to her. I walked into the dining room. On one side of me sat Christian and the other Kate. "Please be nice." I whispered as I caught a look that she gave Christian.
Kate sighed softly. "I'll try." She replied, but I knew that Kate was so protective over those that she cared about.
Soon dinner was served and the conversation began to flow. I could see that both Christian mother and father worked on keeping the conversation normal, and off of what happened last night. It drifted to graces day at work, to what Elliot was planning on next.
It was nice because I began to relax and feel better. It felt normal and I needed normal more than I realized. Suddenly as we were getting ready for desert phones began to go off at the same time. We all looked over at each other.
Elliot and Christian took out their phones, as did Kate and I. It was a text message from an unknown number. "Our story isn't done yet," Kate read out loud. "Go to the link to find out the beginning." She finished and looked over at Christian.
Grace sighed softly and her eyes went towards Christian and Mia. "What is going on?" She questioned.
"I don't know," Christian whispered, the temper threatening to spill out. "But I need to find out." He replied, pushing himself away from the table. He headed towards a room, as everyone followed after him. Christian got to a computer, and looked at his phone as he typed into the address.
The address comes up as an empty web page but has a video in the middle. Christian clicks on the video and it starts to play. "We've seem some interesting things from Christian Grey, but no one saw this coming. At the age of 15 Christian Grey began sleeping with married Elena Lincoln," a picture of Elena flashed across the screen. "She taught him everything he knows, and and now it's time for the world to know." The mysterious voice stopped and the video ended.
The room stayed quite no one saying a word. Finally after a long moment Grace turned towards Christian. "Is that true?" It was a soft whisper.
Christian turned off the computer not turning around to face anyone. He sighed softly and turned to face us. His eyes burned with fury at whoever at been responsible. "I have to have Taylor trace this." He stood and headed for the door.
Elliot reached up grabbing Christian by the sleeve of his shirt. "Answer the question," Elliot voice had turned and it was dark. "Did she seduce you?"
Christian shrugged Elliot off and shot him a warning glance. "What does it matter?" His voice was dangerous cool, and calm. "This isn't fucking happening again."
"Christian Grey!" Grace snapped out in the stern mother voice making Christian stop. "It matters a lot, son. Did Elena seduce you? Did she take advantage of you," suddenly worry washed over her face. "Oh my god I invited that woman into my home! I brought her around my children. Around Christian."
Christian signed softly and walked over to his mother. "This isn't your fault. This isn't anyone fault. It happened long ago," he trailed off, and sighed softly. He pulled out his phone. "Taylor," he snapped into the phone. "Get Jack's location!" He snapped and hung into the phone.
"Jack?" I demanded, staring at Christian stunned. "Jack got you? You knew?" Fury hinted at my voice. Who did he think he was keeping that from me?
"It doesn't matter, Anastasia. Stay here: lock the door." He orders and headed for the door. "I'm going to take care of this once and for all."
