AN: Hey guys, thank you so much for reviewing...it always makes me update faster, because I know that people actually like my story...And, so sorry for the delayed update, I wanted to finish this chapter sooner, but then I jammed one of my fingers...so typing was a bit difficult

CPOV

Usually I wake up way before the alarm clock due to my insomnia. Today, I had the pleasure of being almost thrown from my bed before I woke up. Have you ever been thrown while you were practically still asleep? Yeah, it doesn't feel so good.

I blinked several times until I could see clearly. I could Ana jump out of the bed ungracefully and nearly peed in my pants. She just seemed so calm and collected that I would never expect her to be the one to jump out of a bed frantically. And, I also noticed what she was wearing...HOLY FUCKING SHIT. A silk camisole and short shorts with no bra. I groaned. Jesus, is she trying to get me to have a boner in the morning?

I could feel the sun shining on my face...wait what? What time is it? And, that is when my jaw dropped open. I have never slept this late in...forever, and I was late for work. Although it was my own damn company, I had to set an example, not to mention that I had to finish my work today. Hence, that is why I jumped out of bed ungracefully...just like Ana had moments ago. I tried to brush my teeth as quickly as possible and rushed my shower. I pulled on grey slacks. a crisp white shirt, a silk grey tie and pulled on my suit jacket. I walked into the Great Room while I buttoned my suit. When I looked up, I saw Ana looking at her phone intensely. She looked motherfucking hot in a grey pencil skirt, and a light blue silk blouse that brought out her eyes. Her feet were clad in black fuck me Christian Louboutins and her hair was pulled up in an impeccable bun. She looked like a take no prisoners business woman...something that I admired about her as most people cowered in my presence.

"Good morning Ana" I approached her. She looked up from her phone and gave me a small smile. A smile that didn't reach her eyes. Her face gave nothing away. Something was wrong. I looked into her eyes and I saw sadness, and a slight hint of fear. Fear? Does she fear me? Did I do something to her.

It then suddenly occurred to me that she was in my room this morning. I vaguely remember asking her to stay the night with me. Had she been afraid of me after seeing my nightmares? Oh, Ana. I felt like such a dick. Maybe, I didn't deserve anyone.

"Ana, I-"

"Christian, can we talk about it after work? I am running late right now, and I am sure you are as well, we might as well have a well thought out discussion in the afternoon." How did she know what I was going to talk about? I didn't get the chance to ask though because both Sawyer and Taylor approached us.

"Ana, your car arrived early this morning." Sawyer says. My head snaps towards Ana in surprise...I was actually expecting to drop her off at work this morning because I thought she wouldn't have had a car here...but apparently she does now. For the first time since yesterday, I could see a grin on her face and her eyes were practically dancing. She bounced on her heels like a little kid waiting for chocolate. Fuck, she was too cute. Cute?

"Can I drive it Sawyer?" she asked like a small child. Adorable. Too cute. Oh my god, I turning into a pile of mush. What the fuck?

Sawyer gave her a smile and there was a twinkle in his eye. She's mine, fucker! I looked at her hand to see if she was wearing her ring. She was. For some reason that made me feel like a proud motherfucker. That I could claim to the world that I was married to Anastasia Steele.


When we approached my private garage that was filled with my audis, there stood a car that I had not noticed before. It was a sleek black Maserati Granturismo. In my peripheral vision, I could see Ana run towards that car. Fuck! Is that her car?

"Ana, please tell me you are not going to drive that."

She stood up with her back straight. Oh, Shit! "And why not Christian? It is my car. I bought it. I've driven it. I am a safe driver. Just because you have been my husband for a day does not mean that you can boss me around." She glared at me to the point that I flinched. God, she was frustrating! I realized that arguing was pointless and was probably only going to make her hate me more.

"Fine, but is Sawyer coming with you?"

"Yes" With that, we stared at each other. I knew it wasn't polite to just turn around and leave. And the last thing I wanted to be was rude right now, especially to my wife. So, I stepped closer and gave her a small peck on the cheek

"I'll see you in the afternoon Ana". After she gave a nod, I turned around and stepped into my own car. As soon as we left the garage I could here yelling and flashes.

Fuck! The paparazzi. We decided to release it to the public after we told family first. Ofcourse, when I had mentioned family, Ana visibly stilled but then, relaxed into the chair...she didn't say much for the rest of the night. Family was a pretty touchy topic for her...that much I could decipher. I could easily order a background check on her...but I wanted to learn about her on my own, besides I knew that she was no threat. Thus, the public didn't know who I was married to and neither did my family...yet.

By the time we could get out and finally reach my office, it had already been an hour. I turned my phone on for the first time in a day, because I had wanted a day of peace before everything came crashing down.

53 missed calls, 77 text messages all from my parents and Mia. I groaned. I got ready to call them.

My door slammed oped and a fiery red head stormed in. Ros. "Is this for real Grey...you are married?" She threw her head back and laughed. Haha, very funny. Laugh at my expense Ros.

"Yes, Ros, now leave, I need to call my parents." She looked at me with bewilderment...there were only a handful of times that I had voluntarily called my parents...not that I hated them...I just kind of separated myself from my family..but this was something they had to know and I couldn't keep from them forever..might as well. I dialed Grace's number...almost hoping she wouldn't pick up..but she did

"Christian, son, I have been trying to reach you forever...Why haven't you answered me and when on Earth did you get married and why have you told me yet?"

"Hello mom, Sorry, I had my phone turned off...And, it was in the spur of the moment wedding, but don't worry, we love each other" She couldn't know about the business deal, I wasn't sure how she would take that.

"Spur of the moment? Christian..you are not one to be impulsive...and why don't we know about her?" Her voice was laced with concern.

"Mom, look, We are just bothh private people, and we decided to ...settle down." That was the worst explanation possible, but it was all I could give her.

"Christian" She sighed. "Alright, um, why don't you bring her to dinner today so we can meet her."

"I have to ask her mom, she has work too"

"She works?" she asks surprised.

"Yeah"

"Alright, bye Christian, take care son" I finished that call...and now it was Mia's turn.

AN: What do you think is going to happen at the dinner...are they going to go...what will be revealed? I'll update as soon as possible...so sorry for the delay
