So here it is the chapter were the craziness begins. I hope you will enjoy it. Just to answer one of the questions from the reviews, yes there will be a HEA for Ana and Christian I'm a sucker for romance and happily ever afters so I don't think I will ever write something without a HEA.

Since I'm not from the U.S. I don't know much about the american lawsystem I tried to find the information I needed but couldn't find much apart from three older cases so I made things up to fit my story. So please be gentle about that part of the chapter.

Also I wanted to thank all of you again for all the reviews, favs and follows I'm thrilled that you like my story since I have so much fun writing it.

Grace's POV

She is back. I can't believe that Elena came to my house and tried to harass my son again. Thank God for Ana. I knew that this girl is a fighter the moment I first laid eyed on her 4 years ago. I was sure she wouldn't be able to make a full recovery after that terrible accident, much less so that she would ever be able to dance again. But she proved me wrong and recovered from all her injuries.

Seeing her today with Christian was a pleasant surprise. Carla told me that she fears Ana will never let anyone in again. Yet she seemed to be quite taken with Christian. I have to admit that I was worried Christian would treat her like all the other women before Ana so I was amazed to see that he couldn't take his eyes off her. I prayed for years now that he would find a girl that could see behind the walls my son has build up around him over the years. Maybe Ana is that girl, the both deserve to be happy and in love so much.

But then Elena showed up. My God, I was so shocked to see her after all these years I wasn't able to do anything other than to stare at her. Even Carrick was too shocked to move. What she did to Christian... I can't even think about it without feeling guilty. After all I was the one who brought her into our home. I confided in her about Christian's issues and she took advantage of it. Preyed on a vunerable teenage boy who was willing to let her do all these horrible things to him because he was desperate to be a normal boy.

I will never forget the night he came home, barely able to walk and bleeding. That was the night he told us everything. I took care of his wounds and just cried with him. Oh my poor boy. Carrick of course was furious and wanted to call the police but Christian was so panicked and ashamed that I begged Carrick to call his therapist first, but Christian refused to talk about it to anyone else. In the end the therapist told us that Christian wouldn't be able to go through a trial, that it would break him even more maybe to the point beyond repair if we would force him to talk about it.

Carrick was restless. As a lawyer he couldn't let her just move on without getting punished for what she had done. So he hired private investigators, had her followed and watch 24/7 and finally came up with enough proof that she had engaged into sexual activities with two other boys who were also under the age of consent.

She was arrested the same day that Carrick handed all the evidence over to the police. Her trial took place only six weeks later and Carrick and I were there every day of the trial. Just seeing her say those boys wanted it and that she was helping them made me sick to my stomach. In the end she was found guilty for statutory rape in 10 cases, but since the boys said they wanted it she was only sentenced with 15 years of prison time.

When they walked her out of the courtroom she turned to Carrick and I, her face full of hate and screamed that she would make us regret it. She would destroy our family. I believed her I saw it in her eyes and since then it became my greatest fear that she would come out of prison and follow through with her threat. This is why I needed Christian to stay here tonight. That's why I needed Elliot to stay here and why I needed the girls to stay aswell. I would never forgive myself if she would hurt my family or the ones close to us. Carrick is still in his study with Taylor and Welch whom Taylor called and they are trying to gather as much information as possible.

Thank God no one at the party was really suspicious about what happened as no one saw Christian breaking down. Thank God for that. He is so determined to never let anyone see any weakness that this would have been a disaster for him. After his physical wounds healed he became so focused on proving the world that he was not weak that he could do what ever he wanted.

I remember when he dropped out of Harvard after two years. Carrick was so mad at him and of course I was mad as well but I could also see that Christian had a plan and knew what he was doing. So I gave him the money to start his business. I knew it was important for him to prove himself to the world and he did. It seemed like whatever he touched business wise became a success and still does today. I'm so proud of him but as his mother I want him to have more than just his carreer and while he is a master in his business, his social skills are still very poorly developed. Of course he knows how to behave himself and treat other people with respect, but when it comes to women he seems to forget all his manors.

Seeing his past I can't blame him, his trust in women was betrayed right from the start with his birth mother and Elena only made things worse when she betrayed the trust he gave her to help him overcome his issues. Now he only uses women for his needs and as much as I despise this kind of behavior I can understand that deep inside he is just too scared to trust again.

"Grace?" I look up from where I am sitting on the small bench by the window in our bedroom and see Carrick.

"Carrick why is she out of prison?" I ask and he sits down with me and takes my hands in his. "She is out on probation for 6 months now. We weren't informed since no one knows that Christian was one of her victims as well. I'm sorry Grace I never thought they would let her out earlier but they did. I tried to call a friend of mine who is a judge to get a restraining order against her though I'm not sure if we will get one for all of us at this point seeing that she has done nothing other than to come here tonight."

"I don't want her near our children Carry. She is pure evil she is up to something I just know it." I can barely hold back my tears. "I know Grace I have the same feeling Taylor and Welch will get security for all of us. Until we find how what Elena is up to no one will go out without security. Now it is late sweetheart let's go to bed and talk about all of this tomorrow, maybe by then we will have more information." he says and kisses my forehead. I watch him change into his pyjamas and we are just about to get into bed when we hear Christian scream.

"Oh no a nightmare" I gasp since I know my son is still plagued by horrible night terrors. Carrick and I hurry up the stairs to the third floor where his old childhood bedroom is but I stop and hold Carrick back when I see Ana who comes running from the guestroom following the screams and bursts into Christian's bedroom. It's clear she thinks he is getting attacked in there but Carrick and I wait. The screaming stops but Ana doesn't come out of the room. The door is still partially open so we tiptoe as quietly as possible over to Christian's bedroom at peek inside. What I see warms my heart. Christian is curled up in bed his head resting in Ana's lap and while she softly strokes his hair she hums a song I don't know.

Carrick and I retrieve as silent as possible into our bedroom and while I try to fall asleep I keep thinking maybe those two were destined to meet each other and maybe they can finally fully heal together.

Ana's POV

I wake with a start and need to take in my surroundings for a second before I know where I am. Yes the Grey mansion. It is still dark outside, the music isn't playing anymore so the party must be over. I reach for my purse on the nightstand get my phone out and see that it is about 2 a.m., I try to figure out what has woken me when I hear it. A long blood curling scream. Oh my god what is going on. I jump out of the bed run to the door and peek out. There is another scream and I decide what ever is going on I need to help I run out of the room follow the screams until I'm in front of another door. I open it and freeze for a second. Christian is curled up on the bed and screaming in pure agony. I can't watch this so I hurry over to the bed and start to shake him.

"Christian wake up. Wake up!" I shout and he startles awake and blinks at me his eyes full of panic, horror and things no human being should ever experience.

"Ana" he gasps and I sit on the bed and stroke his shoulder. "It was just a dream. You're ok now" I try to reassure him because he is still breathing heavily. All he does is curling up in the bed next to me and then he rests his head in my lap. I stroke his hair and start to hum a song my mother would always sing to me as a child when I had a bad dream. After a while he seems to have calmed down and sits up.

"I'm sorry I woke you."

"No, it's ok. Were you... umm...dreaming about her that woman from the party?" I ask and he shakes his head.

"It's other stuff from the time before I was adopted." he says but his tone shows me that he has no desire to give me any further explanations so I don't ask any more questions.

"Ok well I think I should go back to bed or do you want me to stay?" I have no idea what possessed me to ask this but for some reason I don't want to leave him like this.

"I guess your offer to stay means sleeping and no fucking?" he asks and this time I have to laugh.

"You are terrible you know that? And no, no fucking." He looks a bit disappointed but smiles. "I'd like you to stay." so we both lie facing each other and suddenly I have an idea. "Let's try something!"

He frowns "Try what?"

"Let's try to be friends and go from there. I have issues with trust but I like you and I choose to believe that you wouldn't ask me for a second date and stalk me if you really just wanted to fuck me. So why not get to know each other, hang out and see how that will work for us."

"Friends, what would a friendship include?" again I fully understand what he is asking. "Again no fucking. Besides are you in the habit of fucking all your friends?" I ask and his face falls.

"I don't have any friends" he confesses and that makes me sad but again this is to be expected if he can't let anyone in and is rude all the time like he was with me in the beginning.

"You have me now and believe me I'm a handful" I smirk and he chuckles "Oh Miss Steele I would never doubt that. Fine let's try for friends and see what happens."

"Good" I yawn turn around to face away from him and fall asleep almost immediatly.

When I wake the next morning I can't move. Christian is wrapped around me like ivy. One leg hooked over both of mine, one arm wrapped around me to hold me close and his chin is resting on my shoulder so I can feel his warm breath on my neck. I try not to move so he won't wake and actually I just feel way to comfortable and safe to wake him. I reflect on last night and I know this woman has abused him in some way, but what shocks me is that he must have been through worse before he was adopted as he said his nightmare was about the time before he came to the Grey's.

Elliot said he was 4 when he was adopted. Who the hell would do something bad to a small boy, but thinking about it you just have to read the papers or watch the news and you will hear things so terrible that I decide not to think any further about what might has happened to Christian.

Maybe now that we decided to take the friendship route first he will learn to trust me and tell me what has happened to him. At least I hope so, after all he could also discover that he really just wants to fuck me and I think that's why I can't give him more than my friendship right now. If I allow myself to fall in love and he is just using me I don't think I could deal with it. So I chose the safety of friendship over the uncertainty of falling in love and maybe with time I can trust him and allow myself to take the next step.

I'm startled when Elliot opens the door and Christian wakes. "Well fuck bro don't you know anything about dating no fucking before the third date" Elliot snickers and Christian sits up and flips him off. "Fuck off Elliot, we just slept no fucking" he mutters and rakes his hands through his hair while I get up. "I'm going to get dressed" I murmur and leave the bedroom.

When I return to his room 30 minutes later he isn't there so I make my way downstairs and find Mia, Kate and Grace in the kitchen. "Anastasia we need to talk, now!" Kate hisses and I have no idea what is going on but she is not to be argued with and pulls me out of the kitchen.

"What the hell is going on Ana. Elliot told me he found you in Christian's bed! He is a douche Ana and I can tell there is some serious shit going on here. Did you fuck him?" Wow I haven't seen Kate that mad ever.

"No Kate, he had a nightmare so I stayed with him we just slept calm down and anyway we decided to be friends." Kate gapes at me like I've grown to heads.

"Oh Ana you are such an innocent. A nightmare really and anyways a friendship between a guy and girl will never work out especially since he wants into your panties."

"First he had a nightmare, a bad one. Jeez didn't you hear him scream? And second of course a friendship between a girl and guy can work I have been friends with Jose for nearly 12 years now"

"Because he is gay Ana and believe me Christian is a lot of things but gay is not one them." Well I have to agree with her on that one but anyways it doesn't matter. " Kate I like Christian I think there is much more to him than he lets people believe. He agreed on beeing friends. I have no idea if this will work but I think this is a good thing for both of us. You know build a foundation with our friendship and maybe later on when we really can trust each other and opened up try for more."

Kate sighs. "Ok I'm not happy about it, but I can see your point Ana and if you feel this is the right way for you then I'll support your choice. If he hurts you though..."

"I know you'll kill him." I finish her sentence and we hug. "Thank you Kate."

"You're welcome now what was going on with that woman from the auction and your completely over the top bid?" Kate changes from worried friend to journalist in a nanosecond.

"I'm not sure she was creepy though and I wanted to dance with Christian." I lie but of course Kate detects my lie and narrows her eyes in a ' tell me now ' kind of way.

"Fine she has something to do with Christian I don't know the details but she was making him uncomfortable and so I decided to bring her bidding to an end by making a bid high enough to win no matter what and it was for a good cause so I feel good about it."

"Did he tell you more about the woman?" Shit Kate is sensing a story. "No, ask Elliot maybe he will give you more information. I'm hungry let's do breakfast." I try to distract her and this time it works.

"Good morning darling how are you this morning" Grace greets me warmly when we return to the kitchen. "Good thank you. Where is Christian?" I ask wondering if he has left without telling me.

"He is in Carrick's office Taylor has the new team together. As long as we don't know what Elena is up to there will be security on all the Grey's and you as well."

"Me" I ask startled why do I need security. Grace sighs and takes my hands. "Elena was a friend of mine until she got arrested through evidence Carrick found about her. When her trial ended and she was sentenced to a 15 year sentence she swore to get her revenge on all of us. Now she saw you with Christian and he won't take chances with your safety Ana. Believe me he would never forgive himself if anything would happen to you because he left you without security." Wow 15 years that woman must have done some pretty bad things but I don't want to ask any further since Kate is here and her journalist instincts are telling her that there might be a good story.

"I understand" I murmur and take the glass of orange juice Mia is offering me. "I'm sorry but this seems a bit over the top it's just one woman" Kate mutters.

"Kate you've heard Grace that woman was in prison for 15 years, you don't go to jail for that amount of time for stealing bubble gum or not paying a ticket. So I'm pretty sure what ever she did was bad. Maybe she made connections to God knows who while in prison and she seems to have money judging from the dress and jewelry she was wearing last night. All of that makes her dangerous so I think it is a good move to be on high alert until Elliot and his family can figure out what she up to."

"Ok, I get it Ana. Well if she is after revenge she sure has chosen the wrong family. I mean with all his money Christian can hire as much security as he wants. If you ask me it was a pretty dumb move to show up here yesterday" Thinking about it she is right now they know she is up to something but maybe she just wanted to rattle the cage and make Christian and his family worry what her next move will be.

Oh this is just too much. Even trying to figure all of this out is giving me a headache so I decide to let it go for a while. Christian has staff to figure this out for him and with all the security I'm sure we will be fine.

Christian, Elliot and Carrick come in a little later and we all have a nice breakfast together, having small talk and the cougar is not mentioned once thank God. After breakfast Christian has to leave since he has a tele-conference later today and so we leave together. I look out of the car window when I remember something.

"You know you owe me a dance, Grey" I smirk and he makes a face. "Well, I'll try my best though I have already given my father a cheque for your bid."

"What, why you know I have the money"

He looks all serious suddenly "Because I have the money as well and no one is ever going to pay for me." Ok now that comment gives me a whole lot more horrible thoughts of what might has happened to him but I nod.

"You are good with money right?" I ask to change the subject. He smirks "I'd better be, why?"

"Well as you know I have all the money from my father but since no one knows I'm basically just sitting on it. I want to put it to good use and donate a lot of it to charities. I thought maybe you can help me with that so no one can find out that I was behind the donation."

"Yes of course I can work something out for you. Just give me a couple of days and I come up with something. Are we still on for the flying?" he asks and that excites me.

"Yes I can't wait."

"Good next weekend would fit my schedule how about you?"

"I can make time though my rehearsal schedule is really picking up now with the world championships in December."

"Are you qualified?"

"Of course, I would ask you to come watch but I guess that won't fit into your schedule."

"No I can make the time after all it is just August so if they are in December I can make the time. Are they in the State of Washington?"

"No they are in Seoul this year." he gapes at me. "Seoul like South Korea?"

"Yes, thats why I thought it wouldn't fit your schedule."

"I have to see about that, but I would like to offer you my private jet for the travel. It's much more comfortable than a commercial flight."

"Wow, you have your own jet?" I'm impressed though actually with his wealth that was to be expected after all he has a lot of business traveling to do.

"Yes, so give me the exact date and I will see what I can do."

15 minutes later we arrive at Escala and while the guy who is following me from now on, I think his name is Sawyer, is going to park the car he lets Christian, Taylor and I get out, out front of Escala.

"How do I contact Sawyer when I leave my apartment" I ask Christian but he is staring in horror to the other side of the street. I follow his gaze and expect to find the fucking cougar again but all I can see is a petite woman with long dark hair. She looks jaded like she is older than her years and she is staring at Christian in a really scary kind of way.

"Sir, is everything alright" Taylor asks following his gaze but he doesn't seem to know the woman. "Christian what is going on. Come on lets get inside." I try to get his attention but he is still staring at her and the whole situation is creeping me out.

"Christian please come on." Suddenly the woman turns and leaves while Taylor and I manage somehow to drag Christian into the lobby of Escala. Once we have entered the elevator and Taylor has typed in the code for the penthouse I try to get Christian to talk again. "Christian please talk to me. Who was that woman?"

He looks down at me completely lost and when he finally answers his voice is not more than a whisper. "My birthmother" what?!

Ok ladies let me know how you like this twist and sorry for the cliffhanger but I always wanted to do one and this was the perfect opportunity. I promise to update again tomorrow. Until then please leave me a review :)
