Oh lordy mercy I just read all the reviews and I have just passed the 400 mark. Y'all are absolutely the best. I thank each and everyone of you for reading, reviewing and staying with me as long as you have. I will be very honest. I never thought I would make it this far or with this many wonderful people reading and reviewing. I have been crying off and on all day. You all just don't know what this does for me and how it makes me feel. From the bottom of my heart thank you all so very much.
Ana is home resting on the couch. She is tired and just wants to eat and go take a nap
"Ana, so glad you are home sweet girl. How are you feeling? Can I get you something to drink? Did either of you eat this morning before you left the hospital?" Gail as them both as she heads to the kitchen
She comes back with a coffee for each of them
"Gail no ma'am we didn't but whatever you want to cook will be fine. I can eat breakfast or you can make lunch since it is getting pretty close to noon by now. I didn't realize that while at the hospital." she tells her and leans her head back on the couch
"Love, are you alright?" Christian asked her looking at her
"Yes Boo, just tired." she tells him and closes her eyes
Gail sees this .. "Well I better get to cooking before you go to sleep. How does Chicken Ceasar Salads sound? It's quick and easy and will fill you up until supper." she asked Ana walking over to check on her
"Gail, that will be lovely, thank you." she says
They eat their salads and are sitting around talking and of course Christian is worried about her
"Ana are feeling alright? Do you need your medicine or anything?" he asked her feeling her forehead
"Boo I am alright just a small headache but you know Dr. Garrison said that will last a while. It's not bad enough where I have to take anything." she says smiling at him
"Where is everyone at Gail? I figured they would all be here to see Ana and El bugging her." he tells her and looks at Ana
"They are down at the gym. They said they needed to work some stress out." she tells them
"Boo if you want to join them you can. I am fine here with Gail and I am sure there are guys in the security office." she tells him
"Are you trying to get rid of me young lady? I think you are. Are you tired of me already?" he says smiling
Just before Ana could give him an answer the elevator doors opened and not only Ray, Elliot, Taylor and Davidson walked out but bringing up the rear was his and Elliot's grandparents
Gran ran over to Christian and grabbed him and hugged the stuffing out of him and sat down beside Ana and pulled her into a hug
"Baby girl, how are you doing? Bless your heart I am so sorry this has happened to you. These damn stupid women need their asses beat. I tell you and if you need help you just holler. You hear me baby girl?" Gran tells her hugging her again and looking at Christian
"Um yes Mrs. Trevelyan and thank you but I don't believe they will bother me anymore with the one that hurt me is in jail now." she tells her patting her hand
"Grandpa, what are you and gran doing here? I am glad to see you but I wasn't expecting you all." he tells them
"Christian you are all over the news hell the family is all over the news. We are so tired of seeing and hearing what everyone is doing to you. We heard you were bringing Ana home and we had to come and see how she was doing." gran tells him walking over and ruffling his hair like she always does and he smiles
"Besides, we are tired of talking on the damn phone and video calls. We wanted to see our grandsons and well here we are." grandpa says point blank and didn't want any lip from the boy
"Elliot did you know they were coming over to see us?" he asked him
"No bro, they just showed up at the elevator as we were walking out of the gym and rode up with us." El tells him
"Taylor, Ray did you all know? The reason I am asking is it is not safe for them to be out without security. You know this Taylor." Christian sounds like he os either mad or upset..i'll go with upset
"Christian my boy don't grill them, they had no idea we were coming and we had our security with us. He is in the apartment downstairs. I hope that is alright? We are planning to stay a few days and visit with you all." he tells him walking over to him and hugging him
"Well I am happy to see you both. It's just the look on your face is worrisome. What is troubling you old man?" Christian asked him looking worried himself
Gran and grandpa both look at him and sigh
Elliot shakes his head and knows more secrets are on the horizon for the Grey brothers….and he would be so right
'Boys there is something we need to tell you both but we want to wait until after dinner. Will you let it go until then please?" grandpa asked them boy
"Yes sir, we can now how did you find out about Ana being hurt?" Christian wanted to know cause he thought he had it all locked down and no one knew about Ana being in the hospital. Damn who the hell leaked it to the press will pay dearly
"Seems like someone at the hospital leaked it." grandpa said
"I'm on it sir, I will find out who did this." Taylor tells him
Christian looks over at Ana. She is so quiet. She has fallen asleep
He has a smile on his face when he looks at Ana
"What's that smile for son?" Ray asked him knowing what it is for
"Just look at her, she is so peaceful and resting so easy. I never want to see her like she was in the hospital ever again Ray. Not knowing if we were going to lose our girl or when she was going to wake up." he tells them walking over to Ana as he is wiping a tear from his face
"Christian we all know how you feel. Hell we all feel the same way and anyway from now on we can prevent this we will. But this was beyond yours or my control. Just remember she is doing better and she is here with us." Ray tells him walking over to him and giving him a comforting hug
"Yes sir, I know but it's just I have all these feelings and emotions going on that only my girl can help me through them. Our talks we have had are great and she understands me better than I understand myself and that is saying a lot." he tells them all laughing
"Yes I know son, how well I know. She is a very understanding young lady and an amazing listener." Ray tells him
"Now if you all will excuse me for a few minutes I am going to take Ana to her room so she can rest better." he tells them leaning down to pick Ana up
They watch how carefully Christian picks her up and looks at her….Yeah that boy is in love with my daughter
Christian carries Ana to her room, opens the door and lays her on her bed. Takes off her shoes and covers her with a throw that is laying at the foot of her bed. Then he leans down and softly kisses her lips and she smiles and he walks out of her room closing the door quietly
As he returns to the great room everyone is sitting around talking. He hears them ask what caused her to be in the hospital
"Taylor, would you play the video for grandpa and gran would you?" he asked him
"this will explain everything and save us from saying it again. It is easier this way." he tells them
"Hey, put it on the tv so that way the ones that haven't seen can see it on the big screen. Where Ana knocks her lights out two times." El says holding up two fingers
"Good idea, this little screen hurts my eyes." Grandpa tells him
"Gail." Elliot yells for her
"What is it Elliot?" she asked him and sees the tv screen with Ana on it and the crazy women
They all sit there and wait until Taylor redirects his phone video to the tv
Gran and Grandpa sit there stunned watching what is happening from the moment Ana walks into the interrogation room
They don't hear the volume cause this is not for anyone to hear but the ones present at the interrogation
"Where is the sound?" El asked Taylor
"Sorry Elliot but this is an interrogation for their ears only. You can only see it, not hear it." he tells them all
"Oh ok now I understand. Top secret but I would love to hear what they are all saying." Elliot says smiling when he sees what is happening
"Oh my God is that bitch crazy or what? Damn Ana you go girl." Gran says punching the air
"Gran such language." El says laughing
"Well sorry not sorry. That woman is absolutely crazy." Gran says to no one in particular
"Yes gran she is and you haven't seen it all yet."Christian tells her
"Do you know what they are talking about Christian?" Grandpa asked him watching the tv
"Yes grandpa, some of it, not everything. Ana wouldn't or couldn't tell me not right now anyway." he tells them
Now they are watching where Gwen is being handcuffed and they figure being read her rights. After she is cuffed she pushes past the officer and runs Pall Mall straight into Ana knocking her down again and hitting her head
Gran yells and curses when she falls
'Oh my goodness Ana knocked her ass out. My guess is that she broke that bitches nose and lost some teeth." Gran says
"From what Ana said when after she came out of the coma she also broke her jaw. She warned her not to touch her but she didn't heed Ana's warning." Christian told them
Ana stayed for the interrogation and got up to leave and headed toward the door and passed out hitting her head again
"Now wait a minute. Why was our girl in a coma? Ray, Christian one of you better tell me. No one told us that." gran said getting upset now
"Calm down gran no one was supposed to know about that or her being in the hospital. But the hospital part was leaked out." Christian tells them
"Well why was she in a coma?" she asked them
"She had some swelling on the back of her head but there was no brain damage. A small amount of swelling
from falling and hitting her head the doctor did not want her in any pain plus he didn't want anymore swelling. So he put her in a medically induced coma so she could heal." Christian told them
"My stars, poor dear, bless her heart. She has been so busy helping you with everything and putting up with all this mess. Has she beat anyone else's ass? How about Princess Mia, Grace, or the blonde botox bitch? I never liked her." gran tells them all
"No gran she hasn't yet." Christian says smiling
"Well dang she needs to. They all need it." she tells them
"Gran are you alright?" Elliot walks over to her sits down beside her and pulls her into a hug
"I am doing as well as can be expected, Elliot. It is hard but we are all going to make it out of this damn mess that they all created with our heads held high. Do you all hear me?" gran says looking at everyone
"Yes ma'am, we do loud and clear." they all say
"Good that's good. Now Ms. Gail, let's start some dinner. Whatever you are preparing is fine with us. We are not picky
"Alright Mrs. Trevelyan but you do not have to help me. Thank you though." Gail tells her walking into the kitchen wiping her eyes
"Nonsense I want to, besides we have a lot of hungry mouths. What are we going to have?" she asked her looking for an apron
"I thought about making one of Ana's dishes. Maybe her spaghetti and meatballs. Everyone loves it and have a salad and french bread as Ana the fixins. Good thing she made her bread and froze it. My word Mrs. Trevelyan it is so delicious." Gail tells her smiling
"I will take your word for it Gail. By the smile on your face I know it will be good. Now what can I help with?" she asked her
The ladies get everything they need to start cooking. Good thing Ana made sauce and meatballs ahead of time
In the meantime Ana is waking up wondering how she got in bed. Last thing she remembered was sitting on the couch talking to Christian's grandmother. Oh my goodness I fell asleep. She gets up slowly and makes her way to the bathroom does her business and walks out into the great room
"Hey y'all sorry I fell asleep. Where is Mrs. Trevelyan? I need to apologize to her for falling asleep on her." Ana says looking embarrassed
"Now none of that young lady you have been through enough these last few days. You were fine falling asleep. My grandson picked you up and put you in bed. You need all the rest you can get." grandpa tells her walking over to her and kissing her cheek
"The women folk are in the kitchen cooking." he says
"Ladies, what are we having? Something smells good." Ana tells them walking into the kitchen
"Young lady, you come right here and sit down. Did you have a nice nap? You look better now. You have some color in them, lovely cheeks my dear." gran tells her
"Yes Mrs. Trevelyan I feel better thank you for asking. I am sorry I fell asleep on you earlier." she tells her
"Now, now that is quite alright. You needed to rest and we just barged in without a "how do you do." she tells her
Christian walks in and sits at the bar with Ana
How are you feeling sweetheart? Did you get plenty of rest? I know you needed it." he tells her kissing her temple as always
"Better thank you and thank you for putting me in bed." she tells him
"You are welcome Ana. Now what are we having for dinner?" he asked her
"Well I believe Gail said Ana's spaghetti and meatballs and the fixings." She says laughing
"Ana I just love your southern accent sweet girl." she tells her
"Well thank you ma'am very much." Ana says giggling
"Ana, would you like something to drink dear?" Gail her
"Yes, a cup of coffee. Why I don't know but I think it might help my throat. I'll have a glass of ice cold water too please." she tells her
"Coming right up. I have a fresh pot just made." she tells her
Gail places a hot cup of coffee and a glass of water on the bar in front of Ana and turns around and starts back to cooking
"Gail are you alright?" Ana asked her getting up slowly and walking over to her
"Yes hun I am just relieved that you are home and better." she tells her hugging her tight
"Thank you I feel better being home and that nap helped." she tells her
Ray, Taylor and grandpa walk up the bar where they are all talking
"Daddy, where have you been hiding? I only saw you once when you got off the elevator with everybody." she says
"I wasn't hiding I just walked down the security office for a moment to talk to Davidson." he tells her
"Anything wrong? Anything I need to know about?" she asked him
"Oh no all is good. We were talking about getting your car here. It has been at SPD. We just got it here. Nothing to worry about I promise." he tells her
"Ok then just making sure. Gail, is it supper time I am starving?" she asked rubbing her tummy
"Yes ma'am it sure is. Would you like me to make you a plate? I even made your dressing for the salad. I hope I did everything right." she tells her rubbing her hands on her apron
"I am sure you did especially from the smell of everything." she tells her smiling
"Alright ladies first and then men dig in. There is plenty. We have spaghetti and meatballs, salad with dressing and Ana's homemade french bread. All of this is Ana's recipe." she tells them
They all dig in as Gail says and take their plates to the table. Christian helps Ana and Ray takes her plate
They all sit at the table and eat, moan and groan. It is so good I am full
"Gail, that was some mighty fine eatin there. You did an amazing job." Ray tells her
"Lordy yes it was." you could hear them all agree
"Anyone for dessert? I have Ana's homemade cinnamon rolls, she made them, not me." Gail tells them
"Oh my goodness I am full but I will not turn down your cinnamon roll. I have heard how good they are." gran tells them
Gail sets the plate on the table and brings coffee cups and coffee to the table
They all take one and cup of coffee
"Ana you made these? This is your recipe? Wait a minute is this what Barney was talking about when he mentioned your cinnamon rolls and the baby food dessert?" Elliot asked her taking another bite
"Yes El this is what he was talking about. So glad you like them. What do you two think? Everyone else has had them before." she tells them
"Ana, these are delicious and you have a dessert that tastes like this in your baby food company?" grandpa asked her
"Yes sir, this is basically the same recipe I use for my baby food. I can't have it too sweet for the babies that eat it." she tells him
"I agree with you on that. No it is not to sweet it is very good." he tells her
"Thank you sir. I appreciate that." Ana tells him smiling
"Well let's mossy back into the great room folks. Time to relax." Elliot tells them all getting up and helping gran up as Christian helps Ana
"Come on Gail leave the dishes for now you are part of this family and this is family time."grandpa tells her
They walk back to the great room and sit down on the two big oversized couches that Christian has. Ana is thinking why so damn big he doesn't entertain anyone
"Would anyone care for something to drink?" Elliot asked them
"Not now I am good." grandpa says and everyone agrees with him
"Well I…I mean we have put this off long enough. We didn't know for sure if we should tell you all this now with everything going on. But we sat down with Ray and had a long talk and decided it was the right time. It will be hard hearing this and then again maybe not. Depends on how you boys will feel after you hear what we have to say. What I am going to tell you you were never to know. Not that we are ashamed to tell you we just thought that no one needed to know yet. Because the main person doesn't even know this but they will when it comes out in the open." he tells them sighing loudly
"Ray you talked to our grandparents?" Christian asked him
"Yes son I did. Your grandfather called me and asked me to come and visit them. He wanted to talk about something important and wanted my opinion on it. I was floored that he wanted me to know but I believe in my heart that this will help you both tremendously." he tells them
"Um ok grandpa tell us." Christian says grabbing Ana's hand and holding it
"Christian, Elliot this is going to be hard for you both to hear and I don't know how you are going to handle it after everything you have been through. I just want to make sure Christian after everything that has happened not only to Christian but you too Elliot. You have been put through hell with the family. So you tell me if you want me to tell you more secrets or wait? It's all up to you." he asked him
"Well it has been a rough few months. I don't know if I or we can handle anything else bad in our life right now grandpa but I would like to know if it is bad and will I have another anxiety attack like I had once before?" he asked him looking at him
"I am not sure if it is bad or good but I am leaning toward good. As I said I spoke with Ana's father and he seemed to think it would be a good idea to tell you and maybe you would feel a bit better. But it is up to you and Elliot" he says
"Well I have been talking to Ray most of the day and if he thinks it will be good then tell me. I mean tell us about it for me and Elliot cause he is here with me. He has been with me through all of this that has happened." he tells his grandpa looking at Elliot and smiling
"Are you sure you want to hear this now, son? Elliot, are you ready to hear this secret?" Ray asked him
"Yes you said it would make me feel better so I want to hear it. I need a little good news." he says
"Of course I want to know and if you all think it will make us happy by all means tell us." Elliot says
"Um boys what I am going to tell you is something your well Grace doesn't even know or I am pretty sure she doesn't know." he says
"Ok grandpa tell us please." he tells him
"Your gran and I couldn't have children." he says and waits
Silence you could hear a pin drop
They just look at each other then back at their grandparents
"We adopted Grace when her mothers bus she was riding on in a snowstorm ran off the road and rolled down an embankment. She was the only survivor; her mother didn't make it. We didn't know anything about her at all. My sister told us about her because she knew we wanted to foster or adopt a child. Anyway we had to wait for a period of time as you know before we could proceed with the adoption. When no one came forth to claim Grace we went ahead and adopted her. Like I said as far as we know she doesn't know this but right now I don't give a rats ass if she does." he says
Christian is looking at his grandparents like they have grown another head or they are aliens from another planet. He all of a sudden let's out the biggest gasp you ever heard because he was holding his breath. He didn't know what his grandpa was going to say but that sure as hell wasn't it. Then he started laughing so hard he was crying
"Christian, Boo you alright? Talk to us, come on." Ana says
He stops laughing and looks at all of them and says
"You know grandpa, that is the best news I have heard in a long time. I was wondering how she came from you and gran when she turned out to be the biggest bitch in the country." he says
"So you are okay with knowing this son?" Ray asked him
"How about you Elliot you aren't saying anything." gran asked him and walks over to him
"Oh my goodness yes I am Ray. I am so happy that that bitch is not grandpa and gran's daughter. You all don't know what a relief that is. Elliot, how do you feel about this?" he asked him
"I am happier than a pig in shit if you want to know the truth. I was wondering how she came from your loins myself. I knew there was no way she was related to you both. I could tell because she didn't look like either of you." Elliot tells them
"Well I be damn son when did you realize that?" grandpa asked him
"It was after I was in college. I kinda figured it out. I would sit and look at Grace then you both and never saw a resemblance in her from either of you, none at all. I never said anything because I might have been wrong but damn I was on the money." he said
"Well hell Elliot you could have told me you know?" Christian says pouting again
Elliot looks at him like he is crazy and says… "You know bro if I told you you would have confronted either Grace or grandpa. And you know I am right." he tells him
"Yeah you are probably right man." he tells him
"Now what are you going to do about Grace grandpa?" he asked him
"Christian my boy, that is a hundred thousand dollar question. But I will tell you this I am going to announce that Grace is not my biological daughter that is one thing for sure." he tells them all
"Are you really going to do that grandpa?" Elliot asked him
"Of course we are Elliot. We are not going to have our name smeared by that woman we thought was heaven sent to us and turned out to be the damn devil." Gran tells all of us
"Boys are you both sure you are alright with all this?" gran asked them walking over to Christian this time and hugging him not even thinking about his issues but they seem to have flown out the window
"Alrighty then I think we need to get out of here and let Ana rest and the boys think about what was revealed tonight." grandpa says
Grandpa and gran start to head to the elevator
"Why don't you stay here with us? We have plenty of room." Christian tells them
"We have all our things downstairs. Why don't we just come up here in the morning and have a nice breakfast and talk more about what we plan on doing and when we are going to the world about our so-called-whatever-she-is-no-more-daughter."gran says laughing so hard she is crying
"Alright we will see you in the morning say around nine o'clock or is that too late for you two?" Christian asked them
"Oh no that is perfect. We try to sleep in once in a while." grandpa says
"Alrighty then see you both in the morning. Love you both very much."Elliot says walking to them and hugging them both…so glad you told us. Christian really needed good news…thank you…he whispers all of this
"We love you both so much."gran tells them
"Ana, would you stay up and talk to me for a little while please? That is if you feel like it?" he asked her
"Of course I will Boo." she tells him
"Goodnight Mr. and Mrs. Trevelyan see you tomorrow." Ana says
"Now none of that. How many times have I told you it is gran and grandpa young lady?" she asked Ana
"Yes ma'am I remember." she says
They all leave and now it's just Ana and Christian neither are saying anything for now. Just looking at each other and he is still holding her hand
Christian starts talking and seems like he can't stop. He is on a roll and wants Ana to know how sorry he is for everything that happened between them back then
Hell he doesn't know himself what all happened back then. He felt like he was in a fog most of the time. He hated himself but he didn't know what to do about it. It was strange
"Ana, can we talk about some things about us? Back when you know? Hell I don't know all that went on. I was in a fog it seemed like. Yes I remember you telling about them bitches hypnotizes me" he tells her
He just let's his heart pour and starts talking from his heart
"Even though I have treated you so badly at times back are always here for me. I still don't understand how you could be but I am so thankful you are. Not just for what you have done and are still doing for me but for just being here for me through all of this. I know over the last few years we have gotten closer and again I am so thankful to have you in my life. Ray told me to give you time and I have been doing that for years. It has been tough." he tells her looking at her
"Christian we really need to talk about what went wrong with us back then. Or what happened to you. I appreciate you giving me time but a lot has happened over the years that we need to talk about. A lot has happened that we don't know yet. I still have to confront the bitches and get them to open up about everything they have done and wanted to do to you. I have files on them but I need to speak to them and that is what I will be doing while I am stuck at home." she tells him smiling
I feel like right now isn't the time with everything going on. I am not trying to make you feel like it isn't important cause believe me it is. It's just what has happened to me in the last few days that you are very important to me. But I need to get my head straight before I tell you how I really feel and what I want." she tells him squeezing his hand
"It's just there is so much you.. hell don't even know about what happened with those bitches. But I will find out. I care very deeply for you always have and always will, hell Christian I love you that has never changed even when you were cruel to me. But as I said we will save all of this for another time." she tells him pleadingly squeezing his hand tight again and looking at him
"Ana I have always loved you too. But as you say we will talk about us another time. Just know I am ready when you are. I know it won't be pretty hell. My life has never been a bed of roses and the only time felt alive was when I was with you. But enough of that for now." he says
"Thank you for understanding. We will make it but it will take a little time. Do you know where my pain pills are? I need one." she asked him looking for her pocketbook
"Yeah Ray put your purse in your room. I'll go and it for you." he says kissing her head
He walks back in with her pocketbook and gives it to her
"Thank you Boo." she says
"I think you and I should jump in a jet when all this shit is over and get the hell out of dodge…so to speak…I mean the sentencing and seeing them all in prison where they belong. I think it would be a good idea for you and Elliot to be standing in the courtroom when the judge sentences each of them. It will be y'alls final fuck you to them. What do you think Boo?" she asked him looking at him and she sees the biggest smile on his face she has ever saw in a long time
"I believe that would make our day. You and Ray will be there with us right?" he asked her
"Wouldn't be anywhere else Boo." she tells him
"Sounds like a great idea to you and I on some tropical island with no worries in the world. Yes it would be a perfect place to sit and talk about us before and now. Because Ana I will tell you now I want you in my life." he tells her hugging her tight
"I want you in my life too Boo. I have missed you over the years. We will just have to take one day at a time. If love is in the cards for us it will happen. It happened before and it can happen again." she tells him looking in his eyes
They lean toward each other and their noses touch. He kisses her nose and then kisses her soft lips very gently and feels the spark he felt when he kissed when he put her in the bed earlier
When he opens his eyes hers are still closed and they are still close together. She opens her eyes slowly and smiles at him
"That was a very sweet kiss thank you Boo." she says kissing his nose
"Now you know this doesn't mean I am going to fall right into your arms don't you?" she asked him
"Yes love I know. I have a lot of explaining to do and I need to gain your trust back. Trust is very important in any relationship. I know I have to work for us." he tells her
"By George I think he has figured it out or is pretty close." she says laughing
"Ha, ha funny. Yes I am starting to understand. Just one last time…I am so very sorry…and that is all I am going to say until you want to hash everything out. The ball is in your court my love
"Ok now enough of this. Let's talk about something else until my pain pill makes me drowsy. It has stopped the pain but not sleepy right now."she says
"Whatever my lady wants to talk to about I am all ears and if you fall asleep I will just put you over my shoulder and carry you to bed like a sack of potatoes." he cracks up laughing
"If you do, I will retaliate and you won't like it Boo." she tells him looking him dead in the eyes laughing
"Ok, Ok." he says still laughing
"Ok now I am dying to know what you think after hearing
your grandparents reveal their secret to all of us. Seems like you are happy and Elliot he well he is Elliot. I still can't believe he knew." she says
"I am so happy they are not her parents. How could she be and turn out like that? You know my guys checked Grace's background again. Hell you pulled everything on her. Do you think with my grandpa being a lawyer he had the adoption hidden so no one could find it? But why do that if her mother was dead and there was no one else to come forward and claim Grace as a baby?" he asked her
"Christian I don't know but it wasn't on anything I found and I did the deepest deep sea diving there is even going as far as the black net. That's how I found out about her an bitch troll and BDSM. Her photos were hidden well enough.
"As I said earlier I am happy about it. I feel sorry for my grandparents when they make the announcement that Grace is not their biological daughter. I know that will be hard on them but they have Elliot and I to stand with them. And I know you and Ray will be there too." he tells her
"Absolutely we will be right by your side and theirs. How do you think this is going to affect Grace and my God even though those two Carrick and Mia are assholes? How do you think they are going to handle this truth? Oh lordy mercy I would love to see them especially princess Mia. she tells him
"You know Ana I could really care less how they feel or what happens to them. I am pretty sure Grace will faint and when she comes to say they are lying and poor princess Mia she will probably have a major anxiety attack. I can just see the lawyer Carrick in disbelief hanging his head. I know they have proof of this adoption and will prove it to all." he tells
"I can just see Princess Mia crying and saying it ain't so. Then when the proof is brought forward she will probably keel over; she is such a drama queen." Ana tells him laughing
"Anyway I am done talking about all of them for now. How about you?" Christian asked her
"About who?" she asked him giggling and rolls her eyes
"Yeah who I don't know." he laughs with her
"OK now let's talk about your baby food business. When do you have to be back there in Georgia or whichever one you need to check on?" he asked her
"Boo I don't have to go back anytime soon. Everything is well in hand. I have all my staff taking care of all of them. If there is a problem which there hasn't been, they will call me. They check in on Monday and Friday and send me a copy of the week's progress report. Everything is running smoothly like clock work." she tells him
"So all is good then? You wouldn't just be saying that would you?" he asked her
"Christian Grey, when have I ever lied to you? I am offended, young man." she asked him but she is giggling so he knows she isn't mad at him
"Never, never I just wanted to make sure you didn't need to leave me right now." he tells her
"After all of this is over I am going to go home to Atlanta, Georgia and check in with my office there and then fly down to Charleston, S.C. and check on that one. I am thinking about building one in New York State, not the city. There is too much commerce going on there now as it is. Besides I know some of them don't like southern people especially our accents. Not sure when I will check on the one in Madrid yet"she tells him
"Wow you will be busy for a while. Do you have any companies out of the country that you are going to have to check on? And you have a new one starting what.. in a few months? Where did you say it was going to be I forgot?" he asked her
"Yes I will be busy for a while but I am only going to spend one day at each place unless there is a problem but I don't foresee any. I have one in China that is almost finished. I am thinking of having one built in Hawaii. I have already spoken with some people from the government groups, committees, land owners and so forth because you know you have to do everything the right way." she tells him
"Oh how well I know.' he tells her
"Wow you have your plans laid out for quite a while. Do any of these new plans involve Elliot?I am asking because he is in construction and you said he checked out your house and did some TLC on it. I know he is good and he would do an amazing job." he tells her
"I haven't talked to him about any of them yet. But I am thinking about asking him to do the one in New York State if I decide on that one." she tells him
"You know I am not going anywhere until we get your company back up and running you know that right? I will never leave you to deal with the aftermath of all this. Besides, we are a long way from talking about me leaving. I might just ask you to put everything on hold and travel with me in my luxury jet." she tells him
He looks at her like she has grown another head. When did she get a jet? he says to himself
"Wait a cotton pickin minute..when did you get a jet and a luxury jet at that?" he asked her looking at her wide eyed
" Really Boo you haven't been keeping up with me? I would have figured Taylor or Barney would have kept you in the loop about me." she tells him
Christian looks a little crestfallen because he didn't feel like he had the right to check up on Ana. He did it a few years but not for long. Besides, she would have found out sooner or later.
"Ana I did for a few years after I got my company running strong and had the right people working for me. But I felt like I didn't have the right and didn't deserve to know about you because of the way I treated you so badly. I hope you understand what I am saying. I cared about even though we were not together. It was just hard. I am so sorry I hurt you so badly. I hated myself and still do." he tells her with tears in his eyes
"Christian it's alright. Don't worry about it. I was just kidding trying to get you to smile. I am sorry I made it worse." she tells him
"Get some sleep Boo. Tomorrow is another day, today is almost over. We will get through this all of us one day at a time."she tells him walking over to him and kissing his cheek and hugging him
"So true Ms. Steele so true. Tomorrow is another day and I pray that what comes my way I will be able to knock it in the ass. Because I am not going to let this get me down anymore. I have to be strong and with you, Elliot and Ray and our grandparents in my corner I know I can face it all. It will be hard but I am going to do it." he tells her hugging her tight and kissing her temple
"There is my Boo, my Christian. I knew he was in there, he just had to find himself." she said smiling at him
"Alright Boo my i'm getting sleepy. I am going to bed. Night sweet dreams." she tells him and kisses his cheek
"Come on sleepy head I will make sure you make it to your room." he helps her up and walks her to her room
"Goodnight love see you in the morning. Sweet dreams to you too." he says hugging her and kissing her temple
Ana walks in her room and changes into her night clothes, walks into the bathroom brushes her teeth and uses the potty and walks back to her bed and decides to text her partner in crime
Steele: "Donovan how is our prisoner doing?" she asked her
Donovan: 'Captain she is restless as hell. She keeps screaming your name and calling you bitch. I am about ready to go in there and tape her damn mouth shut."she says
Steele: "Donovan doc said she is doing better. He is releasing her in the morning and you and Owens are taking her to the prison and then later in the day I am going to question her from here."
Donovan: "Ten-four Captain will see you tomorrow. Oh by the way how are you doing?" she asked
Steele: "I am doing a lot better. Just got to get rid of this infernal headache"
Donovan: " My goodness. Yes, Ray called me and told me what happened. You should have put the bitch out for good."she says
Steele: "I am at home for a few weeks and going to be doing my questioning from Christian's study or office
Donovan:" Alright my friend I will see you sometime tomorrow after I drop her off at the prison. You are up for visitors right?" she says
Steele: " Yes and goodnight see you tomorrow" she tells her
Ana gets off her phone and goes to sleep
Oh my goodness why did I let Christian kiss me? It felt so sweet and tender. I knew he could be gentle and he does have the most amazing heart. He just has to learn how to be a better person.
I do believe we have a chance to be together but he has a lot of work to do on himself. I am not just going to jump in his arms and say I forgive him and forget the way he treated me all those years ago. I know they messed with his head but he got away from them. So how did she keep control of him all those years? What did she do or say to him? I know I need to talk to that damn doctor Abigail that hypnotized him.
I'll put the fear of God in her and hopefully scare the shit out of her. I remember the bitch saying she was a submissive maybe just maybe she will submit when I scare her enough. Stupid bitch lost her job, her license and everything else. These women are plumb crazy
This is going to be fun questioning Elena and Grace via Christian's study . They both know what it looks like. I bet my bike that the bitch troll will blow her top and I get all kinds of information out of her…we shall see tomorrow
Oh my gracious I can't wait for grandpa and gran to out Grace. She is going to have a cow
Oh well life's a bitch
Well my wonderful ladies that's it for now. Hope you all enjoyed it. Now next chapter Ana is going to make some prisoners squirm…I love it I love it
As I said Elena will blow her top when she sees me in Christian's study
Thank you again lovely ladies
