Chapter 15: Who Do You Think You Are
I Only Own The Plot
AN: I want to apologize for the delayed updates. It's been over a month. I know. I had some exciting news in my life. I am pregnant with a baby boy! My husband and I are so excited. Now that I am over being tired, I can write and post again. Regular updates will happen again (Once a week) and I will keep to that schedule until I pop. Enough of my ramblings. Enjoy! Read and Review. It makes me post bonus chapters ;)

"Why are you all standing in our living room?" I shout at the people in the room.
"Christian!" Mia squeals, throwing herself into me. I pull her arms from around me quickly and step behind my Beauty. I am shaking mad. What possessed her to hug me? She has never hugged me before today and I don't understand what made her think that today was the day to change that.
"Baby, feel me. I'm right here. It's okay. It was just Mia." My Beauty says burrowing herself into my chest and wrapping her arms around my waist. I wrap my arms tightly around her, breathing her in. I feel calm immediately. This is how I know she is my soulmate. Anyone else would have gotten pushed away, but I welcomed her touch.
"Christian! What the fuck? She can touch you, but I can't? You just fucking met her! I am your sister?!" Mia screeched at me.
"Of course she can touch me. She's my wife. You have never so much as touched my shoulder, let alone hugged me! What the fuck Mia? You know about my touch issues. Don't ever touch me again unless I give you permission to do so!" I say while looking her in the eyes so she knows I mean business. I am deadly serious. I almost saw red when she touched my chest. If my Beauty wasn't near me, I don't know what the outcome would've been.
"Well, Mom showed me the pictures of you and Anastasia at your wedding that she took on her phone and she was hugging you. I thought you got over your touch issues and that we can hug you now. If she can touch you, so can your family." Mia tried to give me puppy dog eyes during the last part of her explanation.
"I didn't give you permission to touch me, so don't do it again. End of story. While you're at it, watch how you speak about my wife. I am not going to repeat myself about that." I sneer at her. And so begins our showdown of stares. Mia thinks that if she stares at me long enough I will give in. It works with our parents. With me, she is sadly mistaken.
"Well, that was tense. Hi, I am Elliott, the big brother." Elliott says while holding his arms out to hug my beauty.
"Hi, I am Anastasia and I am not a big hugger of people I barely know." Ana says while chuckling.
"Oh I like her Christian." Elliott laughs with her.
This entire time, I see Carrick staring at us. Evaluating my Beauty mostly. It is starting to piss me off, but we have a more pressing matter to take care of. Like what the fuck are all these people doing here and how does the paparazzi know we are married. Just as I was about to ask these questions. Luke comes back into the room and Jason is hot on his heels. I didn't even realize they left.
"Why did you post the picture of my sister and Chris?!" Luke yells at Mia. "Do you know the security risk you put them in? Not to mention the invasion of their privacy?! I know you don't know my sister, but I know you know Christian and how private he is with his personal life. So why in the absolute fuck would you post a picture of them on their wedding day?! Where did you even get the picture? You weren't even there and I am the only one, besides them, with their wedding photos." Luke fires all these questions at Mia.
I can't believe it. I am struck dumb. I honestly don't know why I didn't suspect her of doing this. I had hoped all of my talks about privacy and respecting my privacy would've drilled in her head, but I guess not. How could she think that this is okay? I pull out my phone and call my bank.
"Hello, this is Christian Grey. I would like all accounts that Mia Grey has access to be closed and moved back to my main account. She is no longer an authorized user of any of my accounts. That is to be done today." All of my family members gasp as I give out these orders. I look Mia directly in the eyes as I speak so that she knows I am completely serious.
"Yes sir. I will contact Welch or Barney once it is done. I will get started right away." He says and then I hang up.
"Christian! You can't do this to me! How am I supposed to shop and do everything else?!" Mia yells at me.
"Mia, you think I give a damn about your shopping addiction you fund using MY money? I have preached to you until my face was blue about how I value my privacy. That's the reason why I was never on any of your fucking social media accounts. Jason, how many death threats did I have this week?" I don't even turn to look at him when asking him.
"I haven't caught up on everything just yet, but 16 so far, and quite a few have been in regards to Mrs. Grey now that the world knows of your marriage. We are going to have to get her an extra guard sir." Jason says as monotone as he can manage. I know he wants to lay into Mia, but he's letting me handle it.
"16 fucking threats Mia. And I haven't even been in the country for the past month!" I yell at the top of my lungs. I am about to continue to lay into Mia when what Jason says registers in my head.
" Oh God! Ana, baby, I am so sorry. I didn't know this would turn your life upside down like this. Please forgive me." I start to breathe heavily and hyperventilate. I fumble towards the couch and collapse on it. Ana has been in the papers plenty of times because of who her dad is and of course because of who she is as a business woman. It has always been good publicity, until now. All because of fucking Mia.
"Christian, calm down love. I'm right here." Ana sits next to me and grabs my face. "Jason and Luke, can you escort everyone out of our home please. We will deal with them later."
"Grace, I will call you tonight if I am able to do so." I hear Ana address my mother. I don't hear my mom's response because I am so wrapped up in my head.
"Baby, look at me." Ana pleads. I can't bring myself to do so. "Right now!" she demands.
I slowly bring my eyes to meet her beautiful blue-green eyes. I am sure she sees the storm in my gray eyes.
"Beauty, I am so sorry about Mia. I didn't want to hide our marriage, but I also wanted to enjoy our privacy. I want to shout from the world that I am your husband and you are my wife, but not like this. Not because my sister has a big mouth. Please. We can fix this. I know you haven't had bad publicity like this before and this is all new, but please let's fix this together. Don't leave. Please." I have tears streaming steadily at this point. I can survive a lot of things. I have survived a lot of things, but her leaving is one thing I will not survive.
"Christian Grey, I will say this once and never repeat myself again. We are married. Nothing else matters. We are here forever. No one and I repeat NO ONE will EVER make me leave you. I never wanted to hide our marriage. I would've preferred to do a press release to try to control the mayhem that I knew would ensue, but we don't always get what we want. This is the one conversation we will have about this and then we will never have any questions like this again. No leaving. Ever. We talk through everything immediately. No running. We are a team. It is us against the world. We have teammates on our side, but at the end of the day, it will always just be you and I. We are solid. I can understand this one moment, but after this nothing will shake us again. Deal?" she holds her hand out and I just stare at her in amazement.
"Deal." I breathe out and grab her hand and bring her in for a searing kiss. We fight for dominance during the kiss and when she finally gives in our kiss slows to a passionate and loving kiss. I feel all of the fear leave my body.
"Beauty, I need you." I whisper against her lips.
"I'm yours whenever you want. Take me to bed Baby." she says, kissing down my neck. I pick her up and plant my hands on her soft ass and carry her to our room.
We spend the rest of the afternoon in our bedroom making love and speaking words of love. Confirming everything I already knew. I don't know why I panicked, but my Beauty brought me right back to Earth. I made a vow to myself that I will never behave like that again. I had to believe that I am good enough for her and her love and that I deserve both of them.
"Ana? Christian? Can we speak to you both in the living room please? It's about security." Jason says after a couple of light knocks on the door.
"We'll be right out. Just let us get dressed. Give us 10 minutes." I say while hugging Ana a little closer. She giggles when she realizes that I am not making a move to get out of our bed.
"Gross! Get your grubby hands off my sister and get out here Grey!" Luke shouts out. Ana's sweet giggles get even louder. She pulls me out of bed and after we get dressed we head to the office space with Jason and Luke trailing behind us.
"Okay so here is the rundown. I hacked Mia's phone and saw that she more than likely sent the picture from Grace's phone to herself to post it on her Instagram. I have scrubbed her phone clean of everything and changed her passwords and have deactivated her accounts. She would have to create all new accounts if she wants social media again. This picture she used has been used for every major and minor tabloid in the country. Your faces are everywhere. I know you wanted to live in your bubble for a little while, but I think it's time to release a public statement. Sis, this is where you come in. Get Jose to write a statement, be very vague, and let the whole world know you are now Mrs. Grey. Steele-Grey? What are you?" Luke asked, looking confused.
"I am a Grey now. Just Grey. I want to tie myself to Christian in every way." my Beauty answered him while looking at me. I leaned in for a quick kiss wanting so much more, but now isn't the time.
"Gross. Okay Mrs. Grey," Luke smirks at her, "Get Jose on the phone so we can set this up."
"Ana! Hi, how are you? I miss you. When are you coming back to the office?" A guy, who I presume is Jose, answers the phone very cheerfully. I try not to get pissed off and let my Beauty handle it. I can hear in his voice how in love he is with her. I know it and so does Luke by the way he is trying not to laugh while looking at me.
"Hello Jose. I am great, thanks for asking. I'll be back Monday to look into moving office buildings. Look, that isn't why I called. I need you to write up an official statement on behalf of me and Christian Grey so that we and Grey house can release it. The statement needs to be very vague and just confirm that Christian and I are indeed married, are very happy, and we want our privacy. Just give them the typical "they met, got to know each other, and fell in love" happily ever after story. Got it?" She asked and was met with silence.
"Hello?" she questions looking at the phone to make sure he didn't hang up.
"Yeah, I'm here. Um, you got married? You didn't invite anyone? What about Kate? What about your family? What about me?" he asked that last question quietly.
"Yes, I am married and my family was right by my side. We can discuss the rest at a later date. Can you write the statements up or do I need to get Christian's people to do it? If I have to do that, I am going to be pissed." she growls into the phone.
"I got it. Anything else, boss?" Jose asks abruptly. Luke is about to lose it and watching him try not to laugh is making me laugh so I had to cover my mouth.
"Okay. I will see you on Monday." Ana says and hangs the phone up.
Luke and I let out a loud laugh and we both grip our stomachs to stop the pain from laughing so hard.
"Yeah yeah yeah. Laugh it up." she sighs and that sets us off again. Jason is just standing there smirking and shaking his head at us.
"Ana, what do you mean about wanting to switch office buildings. We would need to check them out first." Jason said and we stopped laughing immediately.
"This is something that I wanted to talk to Christian about in private and then we can fill you both in with whatever we decide is best." Ana says leaning into me.
"Okay, we can talk about it in the morning. Come on Luke. Let's do last minute checks before we head to bed." Jason says tugging on Luke.
"Good night Christian and Ana" they say together before heading to the security room.
"Christian. I want to say thank you for not blowing up about Jose. I know he likes me, but I never ever returned affection or even let him believe he had a shot." she says, picking up my hand and kissing it. We really need to get rings by Monday.
"As long as he knows his place. I am not into sharing. Especially sharing you, Mrs. Grey." I say with my signature asshole smirk.
"I'm yours. You have to deal with me now." she says laughing.
"As I am yours" I whisper and lean in to kiss her.
AN: So we find out that Mia is to blame for the leak. Not really surprising lol, but just know she will be handled. This story will not contain a lot of drama and the drama it does have will not drag on for too many chapters. Laters, Babes 3
