{{Thank you all for the wonderful reviews. Y'all make each day better and better with your reviews.I am so happy you all are still with me as I continue to write my story. I know it was a shock to everyone when all the secrets came out. I meant for it to blow y'alls mind and I believe I did that from the reviews I have gotten and the feedback and questions. I think I answered all of the reviews but not the guest but thank you all for your support and staying with me}}
I am going to continue from Chapter 10. Hopefully this will answer a lot of questions.
Mia, Jonathan and Carrick oh my. Grace and Elena say it ain't so. I am going to get into their heads and see what else these crazy people have been hiding. Grace is first
Grace and Elena have been friends for a long time. Not just childhood friends that y'all don't know about but as they were in their teens. Isn't that right Grace or should I say Barbara Fredricks at one time?" she looks at Grace
All you hear are gasping again
"What are you talking about Ana? I don't know anyone by that name." Grace says
"Well Grace pictures do not lie." and she pulls out a few pictures of her and Elena coming out of a BDSM club
Grace screams and faints
"Oh my God how is that possible?" Christian ask Ana and grabs the pictures and looks at them really closely
Carrick is trying to understand what was said and tries to get Grace to come to. He has so many questions but he has to answer some also. Mia doesn't know what to think about her dear mother. That isn't her mother but the only one she has ever known. She runs and grabs a washcloth and wets it with cold water and rubs it on her face and neck. They are acting like nothing is wrong but they both know there is. She starts to stir but doesn't wake up.
Elliot to the rescue he walks over to her doctor's bag and finds a small vial of smelling salts and cracks it open and holds it under Grace's nose. She stirs again and opens her eyes but she wish she hadn't because all eyes are on her
"Well now you are awake. We will talk about your time with your so-called best friend. But first these two are leaving." Ana says
No one says anything just looking at each other. Christian wants to know more especially about his dear mother and the bitch Elena Lincoln. But he decides to hold off until Carrick and Mia are lead away in handcuffs
"Time to go to jail you two. Mia Grey put your hands behind your back. I am going to handcuff you. FBI Agents Maddie Johnson and Gavin Langley will be taking you downtown to be questioned." Mia looks at Ana like she is crazy but she does as told
"Carrick Grey put your hands behind your back. I am going to handcuff you, FBI Agents Walter Bonds and Raymond Steele will be taking you downtown to be questioned." Carrick just looks at all of them but eventually puts his hands behind his back
As they are led out of the house neither look at Grace or Christian. They just hang their heads and walk out to the cars
"Cora you and Terry please stay, everyone else can go back to the penthouse. You are more than welcome to spend the night or go home if you prefer either way is fine with me. I will follow up with you all tonight if you decide to stay or tomorrow at the office." she tells them all
"Ms. Ana if it's alright with you all we would like to stay at the penthouse tonight and do all of the briefings in the morning if possible?" Nancy says
"That is fine with me and I am sure Christian is alright with it." she says
"Of course you are all welcome to stay and I am sure that there will be food there as soon as we are done here. I am calling Gail to order food for all of us." Christian tells them
"Alright then we will see y'all back at the house later. Thank you." they say
After everyone leaves there is complete silence. It is so quiet you can hear a pin drop. They are all looking at each other. Christian and Ana sit on one couch and Grace sits in a chair. Poor lost Elliot just stands and waits for whatever is going to happen next and see what they are going to say. He knows Christian is a powder keg waiting to blow
Christian gets up and walks back and forth looking at the liquor cabinet but knows he doesn't need to drink right now but he sure as hell would like to. He stops walking and looks at Grace then Elliot and sits down with Ana again and grabs her hand to keep him grounded
He takes a few deep breaths and looks at the woman he has called his mother for the last twenty three years. Wondering how she could let someone hurt her child like she let Elena do. How did no one not know about these two?
"Just for shits and giggles please tell me she was blackmailing you? I won't believe you but I will get a laugh out of how damn stupid you are." He glaring at his…hell what is she? She sure as hell is not my mother.
She just looked at him and said "Why would she blackmail me? I have as much on her as she has on me.
She knows if she tells on me I will tell everything on her. So no, no blackmailing." she tells them
"Come on Grace, we are all waiting with bated breath for you to tell us how you know the bitch and why you wouldn't tell anyone that she was your friend years ago." Elliot is asking this time and he has never called Grace anything but mom
Grace just looks at all of them and then back at Ana with such hate in her eyes. Because Ana is the one that outed her to her family. She knows she has a lot to answer for but dammit all to hell she wasn't prepared for this inquisition about her personal life. She hoped no one would ever find out what she had done and what she was doing now.
"Mrs. Trevelyan we are waiting on some answers. I am tired and want to go home and possibly get drunk. After tonight I never want to see your face again. Do I make myself clear Grace?" Christian sneers at her
"I Second, never again will I look up to as my mother. How could you let the bitch get her hands on my brother? I knew there was something wrong with her when she tired to come on to me." he heard gasps and looked all of them
"Elliot, she tried to get to you? Why didn't you say anything? Not that it would have mattered but then it might have helped. Nothing blaming you never. I blame the woman sitting in front of us. I want to know why Grace? Just give me that much." Christian says trying to keep his even
"Dammit Grace tell these boys what they want to know. I have more information on you and the bitch but I know they would like to hear it from their so-called mother." she hears Grace gasp and Christian squeezes her hand tighter
"Well then miss high and mighty. Why don't you just go ahead and tell all of us what else you have found out about me?" she glares at Ana
"Oh no Grace that is for you to tell them. I have the proof but it is your words they need to hear. After all, you have lied to them as long as they have been your sons. So it is only right that you come clean to them." Ana glares back at Grace and raises an eyebrow
"Just tell us. Do you even realize the damage you have caused? I am tired of waiting and looking at your pathetic face any longer than I have to tonight. Please stop throwing those snide and rude comments at Ana. If not for her I would never know why you made me go to her house in the first place. I thank god for Ana" Christian says looking at sadly
Grace just sits there with tears rolling down her face but no one cares. Neither Christian nor Elliot offer her their handkerchiefs. She looks at Ana
"You know Anastasia if you had kept your mouth shut none of this.. she says waving her hand around at her sons… would be happening right now. We would all just go on as before." She hears loud gasping and broken glass hitting the floor. She looks over and sees that Christian has broken her prized vase that was a gift that her daughter got her in Paris years ago
"Grace, how can you say that? I for one hoped to not find anything on you when I did my background checks. Lo and Behold I was checking Elena's and what do you know there you were popping up here and there with her when you were a teenager and then again in your early twenties." she tells her
"You can't hide this forever it was bound to come out if not by me someone else would have found it."she says
She just sits there staring Ana down
"So you would rather I did nothing about trying to find Christian's money or praying no one found out about your so-called life years ago?" Ana shakes her head
"It wasn't your place to tell him about me. It was mine and..
Before she could finish Christian cut her off
"And you would never have told me would you? I am not stupid I can read you now like a book you and your bestie bitch. Christian says
Oops there goes another vase a big and more expensive one this time
"Christian Grey, you will pay for that. Now clean that mess up." she says raising her voice at him
"Why should I pay for it when I bought it?" he says glaring at her
"Mia bought that in Paris." she says
"With my damn money." he says
Another one bites the dust this time it was Elliot
"Stop this instance both of you." Grace tells them
"Well then tell us the damn truth." they both say
"You all really want to know how I ran into Elena again after me and my family moved to Detroit?" she says
They all say yes even the FBI Agents no one can be quite now
"I saw a girl around my age walking out of the grocery store as I was walking by. It was around the corner from my home. We started talking and she introduced herself to me. At first I didn't recognize her because when we went to school together her name was Alice and she had brown hair. When I saw her that time her hair was a bleach blonde and she was calling herself Cindy, yes Cindy Roper. It had been a long time since I last saw her. We were in school together in Missouri. I don't know how she ended up in Detroit of all places. She invited me to join her at the club. I had heard about the club from people in passing but never got the nerve to go into one. Hell, I was a teenager and I was curious. I knew it was wrong and if my parents found out my dad would have killed me. He was one of the most well known attorneys in Detroit." she tells them all
She sits there looking at them waiting on someone to say something
'Continue Grace we are waiting." Christian says
"I waited a few weeks before deciding whether to go with her or not. When she called me I told her I wasn't old enough and that she wasn't either. She blew it off like it didn't matter and told me she had fake ID's for us. Well like I said I was curious and wanted to see what it was all about. So I told my parents that I was meeting friends at the cafe down the street for a get together. They didn't question me. So I left and went and met Elena at the club." she says not looking at them
They just look at her like she has lost her mind
'Elena had our fake ID's and gave me mine and we walked up to the door and showed them and they let us walk right in. I should have known something wasn't right because mine didn't really look like me that much. But I was just happy to get out of the house and do something besides studying all the time. Don't get me wrong I had privileges but I was always a good daughter and never did anything wrong. I was preparing myself for college as I was going to be a doctor so I had to keep my grades up so I could get into the best college for my career." she tells them
They all just sit there looking at her
"Anyway we walked on into the club and I had never seen what I was seeing before in my life. I had heard about this. Elena said not to look at anyone. We went and found a table toward the back and sat there for a while. The waitress that came to our table was dressed in nothing more than a G-string. I was embarrassed to see her and turned my head. The waitress and Elena laughed at me. Elena told her it was my first time. I ordered a coke but Elena laughed at me and said Barbara you need to loosen up. So I ordered a rum and coke."she said taking a deep breath
"Just get to why you gave me to the bitch that's all I want to know. I don't want to hear about your damn trips down memory lane." Christian says pissed off now
"Alright, I'll tell you what you want to know. Let me say this first. As my first time with Elena at the club I did enjoy it….she heard them all gasping loudly.. but continued… I didn't like the punishments that much but as time went on it wasn't so bad. The man that I was with wasn't into beating women really badly. He just wanted them to feel a little pain. I heard in the next room beside me was Elena and she was getting off on the pain then she wanted to beat the man she was with." she tells them keeping her down
They say nothing just keep looking at her and shaking their heads
"While I was getting dressed and waiting for Elena to come and get me. I heard the most god awful sound coming from the room she was in. The door was halfway open and you could see she was beating him badly with a whip then a belt. He was begging for her to stop using his safe words but she just wouldn't. She just kept on till the bouncers got her away from him." she says without looking at anyone
"I walked out of there and waited for her. I don't know why but I did. She was in a piss poor mood and I just wanted to go home. She told me she lost control and it was the first time she ever did that. I found out later that she was already a dominatrix and no one liked her." she said
"Then how could you remain friends with her? Why did you keep going back with her?" this was Ana asking
She glared at Ana then started talking again
"I wasn't just going back with her, I was going because I wanted to go." she heard them all sigh loudly and gasp. She looked up and remembered the FBI Agents that were still there. Oh well to late now
"I enjoyed my time there with the man that I was with. I told him this would be the last time because Elena wasn't going to be allowed back here again. She had already been thrown out and I was praying she wasn't waiting on me but damn she was. I imagine that is where the first picture you have came from. My father saw it and took care of it. At least we thought it was taken care of." she said snarling at Ana yes snarling
"She told me a few days later that she didn't mean to hurt the man she was with but he just pissed her off so bad that she couldn't help herself. I just stared at her without saying anything. I was thinking about what the man told me that I was with. He said you have to have control, you have to watch your partner and know how much they can take. But damn Elena didn't have control." she says
"But yet you let that bitch get me, how could you?" Christian says sighing
"She told me she wasn't doing that anymore, she was in control and would never hurt anyone again. And like a fool I believed her. So we went to a few more clubs in a different part of town on the bad side I guess you call it. She was in a room next to me again and I never heard her scream or the guy scream or safe word so I was under the impression that she was better." she tells them
"I never knew what a ball gag was but I found out later that was what she was using on the guy she was with. She had beat him so bad that they had to call 911 to get him to the hospital." she heard gasping again
"Oh my lord and you still let that bitch get her hands on Christian your son who had issues about touch and the trauma he went through when he was a little boy. How could you Grace, how could you do that to your son?" Ana glares at her and stands up walking over to her and looking down at her.
"You have to remember it has been a lot of years since I last saw her again. Hell what thirty plus years. How did I know she was still into that? She didn't tell me but she said she could help Christian with his anger by working it off cleaning their backyard. I didn't want to have anything to do with her when they moved here especially next door my God I was speechless when I saw her. I had to act like I didn't know her. If I did it would raise a whole lot of questions that I knew that I never wanted to answer. So I did like we had just met and soon became best friends." she says
They all just sat there stunned unable to speak and trying to comprehend what was wrong with the woman
"Mrs. Trevelyan, how could you let that woman into your home knowing what she was like? How could you let her be around your children? They were young and impressionable, that's when they were the most vulnerable and yes as they grew up and became teenagers she already had Christian getting used to her touch whether he wanted it or not. Just a touch here and there is all it takes. I am sorry Christian but it's the truth. But you had a younger daughter, did you not care about her well-being?" Cora ask her
She just looked at Cora like she was crazy
"Excuse me but who are you?" Grace ask her
"My name is Cora Dawson ma'am. I am an FBI Agent and I am really trying to understand like everyone else that is here how could you do that." she says
"Well Ms. Dawson for your information like everyone else here I was under the impression that she wasn't doing BDSM anymore. That is what she told me not long after she and her husband moved in next door to us." she says not looking at anyone again
"My God Grace you believed her and you haven't seen her in over thirty years? How could you not at least ask more questions and find out what she has been up to in the oh let's say thirty plus years." Ana says
"She seemed so sincere that I didn't want to ask too many questions at once." Grace says
"Grace I am going to show you something and you can believe me, take it for a grain of salt or whatever but this is what you let your son get involved with by being with that pedophile. Look at these photos and tell me do they look familiar to you? Not the person but the beating. She did that to Christian too. She wanted to make him just like her. No feelings, no love as she always told him Love is for fools. Did you want your son to end up like her? Beating young women like she did him and so many more?" Ana says looking at her but Grace won't look up
Ana says showing her photo after photo of a young boy that the bitch almost killed while having him tied up in her playroom
Grace gasps loudly and hangs her head and goes to the kitchen to throw up. You can hear her. She walks back into the great room and sits down looking at Christian with tears rolling again down her face
"Now does that look like she has given it up?" Ana ask her
Grace has nothing to say just looks at her son both of them.
"You knew what she was into back then and how bad it got at the clubs. How in the blue blazes could you send me over there? I damn sure want to know. You remember me telling you that she was always trying to touch me and talk to me when I was younger? I ask you to tell her to leave me alone. Then when I got older before my fifteenth birthday she was telling me how she could help me with my anger and touch issues." Christian tells her
"Yes I remember I told her not to touch you and she said she wasn't that you were just making it up. I told her I saw her touching you. She said it was just a touch on the arm." Grace said
"Ok now I have some more questions. I want to know what you and the bitch was discussing about my birth mother in Carrick's study before you told me I was going to start working for the Lincoln's because I was having so much trouble in school." he ask her staring at her
"Um, what do you mean we were talking about your birth mother? We talked about a lot of things and yes your birth mother did come up but I don't recall a certain one." she says
"Well then Grace let me refresh your memory because I haven't forgotten a damn thing you said to her." he tells her
Everybody is sitting and waiting for Christian to elaborate on that conversation they had in Carrick's study
"First off I don't think it was any of Mrs. Lincoln's business to know anything about my life with my birth mother do you? She wasn't in the picture. She is dead. You had no right to tell her things that happened when I was a small child before you adopted me. That was for me to tell who I wanted to know what kind of a life I had.
That was private and personal. But no you thought that you would tell the bitch that my mother was a crack whore and a prostitute didn't you? You didn't know my mother you only knew what the papers said and how she died." he says yelling now
"I was just talking and she asked about your younger years and I started telling her and she kept on at me until I told her everything. I am sure that is where you got those words from was from me talking to her and her telling you that because that's what you started calling her not long after you started at the Lincoln's.
"Ana asked me why I would call my birth mother a crackhead and whore when I was just four, yes four years old. I didn't know what either of those words meant not at four years old. You told her what she looked like." he said standing in front of Grace with his fist balled up
"Christian you have to understand over the years we became good, well best friends and she was there for me when I was having a bad day. Yes I knew none of you liked her but I wasn't going to be rude and tell her to stay away. I am not that kind of a person." she says
"No but you are the kind of person to send your young son over to the damn bitch pedophile let her beat and fuck him and hurt him so bad that he had to crawl home some nights and you nor Carrick ever cared to ask if he was alright. By George I think I hit the nail on the head and you are speechless again." Ana says looking her dead in the eyes
"Anastasia if I had known what she was doing I would have stopped it but I didn't know dammit. She always told me not to worry that he was doing good. His grades were better and he wasn't fighting that I should be proud of him and not question him. And like a fool I listened to her again and again. I am so sorry Christian she said she would never hurt you, that she would help you by letting you get off steam in their backyard by working hard." she says not looking at anyone
Ana knows she is lying to them all. The woman knew what she was doing. She was trying to get us all to think she was innocent in what Elena has done to Christian
{This part is about some of the abuse that Christian went through with the pedophile. If you don't want to read skip this paragraph}
"Why did you never ask me or question me about what I was doing? Not one time did you say how it is going. How much more do you have to do? Are you having time for homework? Because I was up late at night doing my homework? Do you want to know why? I'll tell you why it was because she had me on her Saint Andrews Cross beating me with a cat o' nine tails then a belt for being late to class one day. Then she would stick a butt plug up my ass and make me scream. After I stopped scream she would grab one of her strap ons and fuck me in my ass. I don't know how many times I safe worded but the bitch didn't know what a safe word liked to hear me in pain. The bitch got off on it."he tells her with tears in his eyes
{Paragraph over}
"So you see dear Grace she is not your friend and never has been. Why didn't you question your son anyway? You had to know something was going on. He changed in a matter of days not months." Ana tells her
"For once in your life tell me the damn truth, did you know what she was doing to me? I have a right to know why you wanted me over at her house so bad that you wouldn't even talk to Carrick about it." he says
"Yes Grace, inquiring minds want to know. Did you know what the bitch was going to do to my brother for fuck sake? I like everyone else who wants the truth and then gets the hell out of this god forsaken house. Yes yes it's not a home." Elliot says raising his voice
She just looks around at everyone not saying anything like she is thinking
"Grace, as I said I have more on you. Do you want me to share with everyone here? You need to own up to your own damn… hell I can't say mistakes because you knew what your best friend had planned for your son. I have phone recordings about both of you talking and planning what was the best course of action..as you said to make Christian a better person. That you were sick and tired of him he was nothing but a wasted piece of a crack whore who didn't care for her son. Remember that conversation Dr. Grace?" Ana dares her to deny it cause she has proof
"Oh what the hell, yes I knew are you satisfied now? But I did not know she was beating you like that. I told her to help you control your anger but nothing else. I told her you were out of control fighting all the damn time and getting expelled from different schools. She said she would help you. I never asked her how she was going to do it. I just wanted you to be a better son. I was sick and tired of all the people saying that we were bad parents and didn't know how to raise you right or help you." she says not looking at Christian
"Grace, why do you continue to lie? I just told you I have phone recordings of that conversation
Then she looks over at Ana
"Damn alright I knew exactly what Elena was going to do hell I gave her my permission to do whatever it took to straighten his ass up. He was nothing but an embarrassment to me and his family and I was so disappointed and wishing we had never adopted him. There you have now." Grace says looking at all of them with so much hate in her eyes no love for her sons at all
She sat there with a smug smile on her face
"And you know he was only good for his money. He liked giving it away. I took advantage of that. Hell I had cars to drive or someone to drive me around. I never wanted for nothing. Mia took advantage of him; he would do just about anything for her as she was the baby. Baby my ass. Elena took and took and like the damn fool he is he let her. You know for some with a genius IQ you are really stupid when it comes to women.. Well almost but you never really gave up on Anastasia." she says looking at Ana
Ana has heard enough she walks over to Grace and slaps her so hard her damn head almost spins off her shoulders.
All you could hear was gasping and heavy breathing. Christian trying to catch his breath
"Christian breath come on breath for me. Damn it Christian look at me listen to my voice come on sugar
Grace doesn't seem to care about Christian just looks at him and continues talking like Ana never slapped her
"Christian sweetie come on breath that's it come on back to me. I am right here and so is Elliot, we are not leaving you." she tells him rubbing his back
She starts talking like nothing is going on with Christian
"Then you and Ray moved back and you and Christian got close. You were helping him get his grades back up and I was so proud of him but wished like hell he did without you Anastasia. You were good for him as a tutor but nothing he would start fighting again and I was fed up with it." she says
"So when you told me that you didn't want me helping Christian what did I do wrong?"
Grace says nothing
"I remember I asked you to give me some time with Christian to see if I could maybe help his anger and fighting and you told me I was just a teenager and didn't know how to cope with Christian and it was better to leave it to the adults. Do you remember that conversation Grace?" she ask her
"Yes Anastasia, I remember it quite well. I told you that because I didn't want you interfering with what Elena was going to do. She was going to put him to work to work off his anger and stress and she said you were a problem and didn't need you around him. Yes I listened to her. She never lied to me and always helped me." she said sighing loudly
"Why would you let her do that? Oh yes you gave her your that a woman that you knew was into BDSM Lifestyle, married with no children of her own knew how to help a young boy that had touch and anger issues a fifteen year old with hormones raging? Please help me and everyone else here understand what the hell was going through your damn mind at that time?" she said walking around the room
Grace doesn't say anything nada, nothing, not one damn word
"That best friend of yours wanted your young impressionable son so she could do as she wanted with him. You knew that and you let it happen. She talked to him. Hell the first day she slapped him and sucked him off. Come on Grace get the real picture here. The bitch used you to get to your son and for whatever reason you let her. But I will tell you one reason you did well, maybe two." she says
Noone says a word they are waiting on revved up Ana to say her piece
"Grace, she manipulated well let's say for the sake of saying she did but you agreed with the bitch to help Christian. She waited until Christian got older then she wanted him, a young boy with issues. She tried all through the years to get closer to Christian. She used your friendship to corsier you into believing she could help him and you knew and you let her take control not only of you but your son. You wanted him to do better cause dammit you were embarrassed to be seen with him and was tired of the way he was acting out. So you let your best friend, the pedophile, have your son to teach him a lesson not to be a bad boy and your friend screwed him up worse than he was. AM I getting close to the truth Dr. Grace? You basically gave your abused son to a damn pedophile and you knew it." she said all this calmly not once raising her voice but looking deadly at Grace
All you could hear were gasps all around, not a word was spoken. They were waiting to see if Ana or Grace spoke first.
"You were so desperate to have a good son that you were ready to try anything and I mean anything. You had a reputation to uphold being the best pediatrician there was around. You couldn't have a son that was fighting and getting expelled from school all the time and breaking things. No that would not do for the Great Dr. Grace Trevelyan would it now Grace? You didn't want Christian to embarrass you and make you look like a bad mother but you know what you are a bad mother, a sorry excuse for a mother. You should never have adopted any kids and especially not Christian with his issues because you were never there for him. You didn't try to help him and you and Carrick pushed him off onto therapist after therapist and never tried to help him on your own." she says getting louder and louder until Christian grabs her hand and pulls her back to couch
"Ana take a break. She knows what you are saying is all true. One therapist told me one time that if my parents had pushed the issue about my touch when Mia was a baby that maybe just maybe I would have gotten used to being touched because I came out of my shell and they never tried to touch me or help me in any way." Christian says
"You know Grace I have to agree with everything Ana is saying and then some. You were never there for us and especially not Christian even Mia at times. She was being taken care of by Christian everytime I looked in on her he was with her. Where were you mommy dearest?" Elliot finally got his two cents worth in
Grace hasn't said a word, she just stares at all of us like she can't believe we said that about her. But it's all so damn true how could she do that. She stands up and starts laughing like she has gone crazy
"Well as I said it once already it is time to hear more now." she says
"Let me tell you all something and then get the fuck out of my house all of you because none of you will never be welcomed in my home again. Christian I knew exactly what Elena was doing. I told her to do whatever the hell she needed to to make you a better person. I didn't ask you about how things were going I already knew. She said she would make me proud to be your mother by helping you curb your fighting and stop being a little bastard to everyone. I did know she was beating you when I told her you got into a fight at school. Hell, I told her every time you messed up. She said the punishments were going to make you better but I did want to stop it one time when I saw how badly you were limping but then again why stop something that was working in my favor. You were doing good in school and yes you were away from Anastasia Steele. She was a bad influence on you whether you knew it or not. I did and I made sure Elena told you about her."She said
"So the truth comes out you thought more about your damn reputation than you did me. You are a cold hearted bitch." Christian tells her
Ana stood up and walked to Grace looking at her and can't believe the hatred she sees in Grace's eyes for her.
"Why do you hate me so much? I have never done anything to you. Daddy and Carrick and you were all friends or at least I thought you were. Maybe I was wrong and it was just daddy and Carrick but that still doesn't tell me why you hate me." She says
"Anastasia it's like this you were trash you were never supposed to amount to anything but look at you now you are a billionaire many times over. I never thought you were good enough for Christian he grew up with two very successful parents, not like you with just your father. Yes he is a very important man way up in the ranks of the president and Marines but look at me I am a world renowned pediatrician parents come from all over to see me. Carrick is a prominent successful lawyer." she says
"But you thought no one was better than you right Grace?" Ana says looking at her
"Now today The Great Christian Grey knows all right son? I have told you everything your little heart desires." she says smirking at Christian
"I am not your son and you are a bitch." he says
No one says anything Ana just looks at her
"Then you my dear you come back after college, travel the world and become a success overnight with your baby food business. Oh wait you started it in your basement of all places and your first customer was the president's baby girl. Then onto television and my God became a billionaire. Never would have I thought you would make it but damn if you didn't. See if I knew you had the potential I might have pushed Christian to be with you but hindsight is twenty twenty they say." She tells her
Christian is a very powerful man here in Seattle and beyond now. Elliot is a very successful business man with his degree in architecture. He has built some very impressive buildings and homes. Mia well she is just Mia sorry but I love her." She says
Everyone gasp loudly and then they hear a roar yes a roar from the mighty Christian Grey
"Grace let me tell you one damn thing you are the most back stabbing bitch I have ever had the umm pleasure to meet and hope to never see you again. See if I wanted to rub it more in your face I would. But I am not like you. I don't have to show my wealth to have friends and good friends. I don't have to pretend to be something I am not like you and your so called society ladies that are all a bunch of hypocrites. I didn't have to rely on a trust fund. Yes I had one one bigger than you or Carrick hell even bigger than your kids had. But I didn't use it it is still there but I made without one, Not like you."she says
She just stares at Ana not knowing what to say now
"Grace, I never want to see you again. You are not my mother and never will be. You are a bitch like your best friend who is going to jail for a long time. You have no right to talk to Ana like you are doing. She is the best person in the world and if it wasn't for her well I wouldn't have my money back. I wouldn't have known what you had planned for me and how you used me. I am sure you started Coping Together to make yourself look better in the eyes of your friends. You didn't do it to help people you did for yourself. How pathetic is that?" Christian tells her
She doesn't even acknowledge what he says
"Grace I will say this and I hope to never see your sorry ass again as long as I live. You are one uptight bitch not worthy of anyone in your family. You are a sorry excuse for a human being and let me say I am proud of myself. I worked for everything I have ever had. I don't need to brag about what I have and what I know and where I stand in society. I am proud of my father no matter what he does. My mother God Rest Her Soul she was a heart specialist bet you didn't know that did you Dr. Pediatrician? She was more than you will be. When we moved here after my birth daddy was so sad and did his best to raise me. You should have told him that you didn't like us around you and your family. I'm sure he would have made other arrangements for my care. But you know you helped take care of me for nigh on six years until we moved to Washington, DC. So you see Grace..she sneers at her…I wasn't trash as you put it. You should have known what my mothers profession was after we moved here when she passed away. I am sure Ray Steele told you and Carrick but you are still so damn stuck up on yourself that you can't see anything beyond your damn nose that's always stuck up in the air." She tells her
Grace gasps loudly and raises her hand to slap Ana
"Oh no you don't." Ana says, grabbing her hand. "You ask your bestie what I did to her when she went to slap me? I'll tell you I put her ass on the floor and I'll do the same to you as I did while ago but this time you will be on your ass on your very expensive rug" Ana says
Grace jerks her arm away from Ana
"Now all of you get the hell out of my house. Your time is up."She tells them
"Oh so sorry Grace but this is my home and you will pack your shit ASAP and get the hell out. It has already been sold. You are no longer allowed on the premises.
Take nothing but what you bought the rest stays because I paid for it you didn't." he walks off laughing
Grace can't believe he just said that to her. She runs after him and goes to grab his arm
"Take your damn hands off of me. Never touch me again you stupid bitch. I don't want you anywhere near me now or ever. Just remember what I said get out of my HOUSE and never step foot in here or in my presence again." he shouts at her
"I hope you rot in hell you are nothing but a bitch just like your friend is. One other thing, there will be no visits to her in the hospital. She is under heavy guard and you are not allowed to see or talk to her. Those are my orders and if you try you will be arrested." She says walking over to the door
"Oh one more thing Dr. Trevelyan one day in the near future you need to be on the lookout for a very special announcement. You better be sitting down when you read it if you think I came from the trailer park. You have no idea who my grandparents were on my daddys side and what about on my mothers side? Nope but you will." Ana just walks on laughing
"Let's get outta here, friends time to blow this popsicle stand." She says
"Lead the way Captain. Let's get the hell out of here."They say
"Christian I'm coming with you, is that alright?"
Elliot ask him
"Of course bro let's go. I have to call Gail to place a big delivery order. She is going to order a little bit of everything. I would like Ana to cook but she has been up all morning and now going through hell. Bro you have missed some mighty fine cooking Ana is the best." He says
No one looks at Grace as they walk out of her house for the last time
"Christian we need to talk when we get back to your penthouse. It's very important."She tells him
"Ok anytime you know that. Want to eat first?"
He ask
"Yeah I guess that will be best cause what I have to say might make us lose our supper." She tells him
He just looks at her and shakes his head. Not knowing what she is going to say
"Gail everyone is staying and we have Elliot he is with us. Order some of everything and have it delivered to the front lobby and one if the security guys can go down and get it." He tells her…. "Yes sir Mr. Grey I'll get right on it. Thank you for letting me know." She tells him
The ride to the penthouse is quite too quiet. Christian knows Ana and there is a lot going on in her head. Damn Grace talking to her like that but Ana gave as good as she got. Now what does she want to talk about seems serious. I know I am to blame for staying with Elena but why did my so called mother turn on Ana like she did? I have a lot of questions and not enough answers. I know I have to answer Ana's questions. I know they are coming and I dread them but I will be honest with her about everything she wants to know even if it hurts her. I just hope we or I can repair the damage that I have caused over the years. We will see
Christian Lordy mercy how am I going to tell him this about his so-called mother? I bet he hasn't realized what she said about her knowing what Elena did to him. Dammit why do I always have to be the one with bad news?" She sighs loudly and hangs her head
Well that is for Grace for now. More to come with the talk to Christian about his so-called mother. Also the briefing at Escala and the questions and answers from Carrick, Mia and Jonathan. Who do you think will roll over first and spill the beans? Remember there are more involved…
