Summer Of Secrets: A Fifty Shades Of Interracial Love Spin-Off

Thirty-Four

Destiny

My head was throbbing and I no matter what I took, the pain wouldn't ease up. Not to mention the constant ringing and pinging of my cell phone, that only seemed to make the pain worse.

"Do you need to get that?" A good friend of mine, Caleb, asked me as we went over a few things.

"No, it's just my ex-husband. Please, continue." I told him. I hired Caleb and his team to get proof of the unsolicited video that Ana had on her computer, and because these guys are the absolute best...they didn't waste any time.

"For someone who is married to one of the richest men in the world, you'd think she'd have better protection on her computer."

"I know right. So how do we move forward from here?"

"We could do one of two things. We could confront her and let her know that we know she has the video and that she needs to delete it, along with any other available copies, or we'll be forced to take legal action. Or we could just send this information to the police and let them handle it." He explained. I sat there for a minute, thinking long and hard about my decision. On one hand, I'd love nothing more than to confront that bitch, but on the other hand...I just wanted this whole thing to be over.

"Let's confront her. Maybe she can do this and still leave with what little dignity she has left." I said, making him laugh. This meeting could go one of two ways: She and I could have a civilized conversation as adults, she deletes the video and other copies if she has them, and lastly...she signs these divorce papers that I had Christian send over to me. Or...and I'm almost positive this is the route we'll be taking...she'll play dumb, try to get under my skin, and refuse to delete the video or sign the papers. Then, my legal team will spring into action, and things will officially be out of my hands.

I arrived at Ana's job, with Theo in front of me, and Sawyer standing behind me. They both thought I was crazy for doing this, but they assured me that they wouldn't let anything happen to me.

"Hi, how can I help you?" The receptionist smiled, eyeing Theo up and down, like a thirty dog in heat.

"I'm here to see Anastasia Grey." I spoke.

"Okay...do you have an appointment?"

"No, but this is important."

"Mrs. Grey is only taking appointments for right now, but let me see if I have something available for tomorrow." She said, as she looked down at her book. I shook my head, walking straight ahead, as I opened Ana's office door. She looked up from some papers she was reading, her eyes growing wide as she looked at me. "Excuse me! You can't just go in there!"

"Too late, I'm already in here. Thanks love!" I smiled, slamming the door in her face.

"Well, well...to what do I owe this visit?" She spoke, leaning back in her chair. "Do you do this everywhere you go? Just barge into people's offices?"

"When the moment presents itself, I do." I sat down and crossed my arms. "I'm going to make this quick. I know that you have a video of me and Christian, and I'm sure I don't have to tell you that recording two people doing...adult activities without their consent is illegal, so I'm here to ask you to delete that video."

"I'm not sure what you're talking about." See what I mean? Her voice sounded all too innocent, but that smirk on her face told me she was anything but innocent. "I'm sure you can understand my position in all of this. A hardworking, loving wife, finding out that her husband is cheating on her with his ex-wife. I'm the victim here!"

"The victim? Girl, bye! You pretend to be the victim, but in reality...you're just the same sad, scared, insecure Ana that I met that night in the bar. Waiting on a man, who really wanted nothing to do with you, to call your phone so you could feel important." I said to her. I could see her squeezing her hands into fists, glaring at me as if she wanted to kill me. "Let's face facts, Anastasia. Christian doesn't love you and he never will."

"HE DOES LOVE ME!" She shouted, slamming her fists down on her desk. I threw my hand up, letting Sawyer and Theo know that everything was fine, because they were about to rush into the room. "He does love me and once you and those bastard children of yours are out of our lives for good, he'll see that everything I've done was for us!" I let out a small chuckle, standing up, as I walked around her desk. She reached for her phone, but I slapped it out of her hand, and leaned down so that I was in her face.

"Speak on my children again, and I promise you...you will regret it! You should be lucky that I'm not even beating your ass for that stunt you pulled, having Christian cut them off, but my kids are smarter than you think. They already know about the sneaky, conniving bitch that you are, which is why they weren't upset when he said those horrible things to them! They knew he didn't mean it!" Okay...so I'm lying a bit, but whatever. She don't know that. "Now, I'm going to ask you again, Ana. Delete those videos or I'll be forced to take legal action against you, and I'm sure you don't want that."

"Or...I could leak this video and show the entire world how you and Christian are cheaters! Not to mention show everyone about his...secret fetishes, which you clearly enjoy so much."

"Okay fine. Go ahead and do what you gotta do, but just know...when the leak is traced back to you, and trust me...it will be; you'll wish you would've taken my offer. But hey...you got it all figured out, right? So go ahead. Leak that video and show everyone a hot little flick. It did Kim Kardashian a world of good, so I'm sure it'll do the same for me. But keep in mind...not only are you hurting Christian, but you're hurting Teddy and Phoebe as well." I told her. Her expression softened as she looked away from me, taking a deep breath.

"I'm not gonna let you get inside my head." She murmured. "And leave my kids outta this!"

"If my kids are gonna be fair game, then so are yours! I'm offering you a way out, Ana. You need to take it and also..." I pulled out the envelope and slammed it down on her desk. "You need to sign these papers." She opened the envelope and quickly looked up at me.

"Where did you get this? I destroyed it!"

"I'm done answering questions. You either delete that video and any copies that come with it, along with signing those divorce papers, or I'm going to let the police handle it." I said. I sat down and crossed my legs, pulling my phone out, and dialing the police's number. "The ball is in your court." Her eyes glistened with tears as she glared at me, before she looked down at the files.

"I'll get rid of the video, but I'm not signing-" She began, but I cut her off.

"You aren't making the demands anymore, sis, I am!" I snapped. "Delete that video, hand over all copies, and sign those damn papers!" A single tear fell from her eyes, as  she reached into her desk and pulled out her laptop, wiping her eyes. She turned the laptop towards me and deleted the video, before handing me a flash drive.

"I only made one copy."

"Thank you." She nodded, grabbing a pen, as she began signing the papers.

"What am I supposed to do now?" She asked, looking up at me. I know she wasn't looking for any sympathy from me, because if she was...she was shit out of luck. She's made my life a living hell and karma was finally coming back to bite her in the ass!

"I can't answer that for you." I said, dropping the drive into my purse. "But if I could make a suggestion...move on with your life. Find someone who actually loves you and be happy."

"I'll never truly be happy without Christian." I had to restrain from rolling my eyes, cause this girl was seriously delusional. She handed me back the file and I stood up. "He'll never love me the way he loves you."

"It's not a competition, Ana. It never was and yet...I still won." And with that, I turned and walked out of her office, closing the door behind me as she let out a loud, shrieking sob. Welp...my work here is done.
