😇 I have a billion dollar company and it doesn't always run so smoothly. This is one of the times it hasn't. Characters are from E L James books. Christian Grey has owned Seattle Independent Publishing for a year now. He hasn't had time to really change things around yet. The computers are archaic and everything needs updating. So he had to find a building in close proximity to Grey House. He finally saw the building opened today. They are moving in within the month after everything is given an okay by building inspectors. Elliott did all the work. Carrick helped push the sale through. The owners kids were fighting over rights to it after their parents died. Two long years and Grey finally got it. He wants to make a name in publishing as well. He thinks they write enough about him he can write as well. How to fall prey to your mothers friend. Elena Lincoln has came up missing after being found sexually assaulting a child in her dungeon. Warrants were served to any place her name was associated with. Including mine. Good thing they found nothing at mine. Taylor got a heads up and we got busy. Money gets things done. Mom is crushed, I had to admit to my family what Elena had done to me. I cut her off a year ago. But she had paperwork with the GEH contracts. Mia spit in her face as she was being taken into court. Grace has been depressed over it all. I have a new doctor and she is hot, but married. Genny Rivera. Mom now sees her as well. So this is one of the bad years. Anastasia Steele I am an employee at SIP we were bought out last year. Some updates were coming but haven't yet. I work with a lot of editors and am now a junior editor. They hired a new H R person just before they hired her friend. I don't like either of them. Elizabeth Morgan and Jack Hyde. Both give all of us the creeps.

Most people meet each other in a relaxed setting or through mutual friends but meeting because of a black cat? Now that is very different. The Characters belong to EL James to some extent I add my own to create the story line. This story has Ana and Christian Of course Elena will be involved as always evil incarnate. This story will not have sexual matter in it. It starts where Ana moves into Escala. The cat in the photo is Elmer Fudd Jensen she was a wonderful cat and I belonged to her for nearly 13 years. She protected me from her own mother when her mom attacked me. I delivered her and her brothers. I dedicate this to Elmer Fudd Jensen she was a sweet girl.

Ray Steele adopted Anastasia Rose after her parents were killed in a bombing of their car. She was being babysat by friends. Ray was left Ana to raise per her parents will. Her parents met in black ops assignment. They had no family and only trusted Ray Steele with her care. She was six months old when he had to retire and create a home for her. After creating a new life and a new name for them both he moved to Bellevue Washington. He hired a well known caretaker from a list from an agency who handled special assignments. Meaning they could unarm an assassins and protect a child as well. He hired three of them. He had safe rooms built in his homes and made sure they were childproofed and would keep a child entertained. Most people never questioned the interior dimensions compared to the outside.

E L James owns almost all the Characters in this story. Love the FSOG characters and I enjoy using them in homage to E L James and her amazing stories using these characters, Anastasia Rose Steele and Katherine Agnes Kavanagh seemed to like to compete against each other in everything including landing boyfriends. They had the looks and the money to attract the kind of boys their parents approved and disapproved of. Raymond and Carla hated that the girls were so competitive in everything. Up until now it wasn't a huge issue. It started when Eamon and Enid Kavanagh had a little race to see which of the girls walked first and bet on it. That was when they were toddling. They were born two weeks apart from each other and had dr Grey as their pediatrician. Enid and Carla met each other at one of the well baby appointments and hit it off. They enjoyed the same socio economic group and knew a lot of the same people. Other than being very competitive with one another they got along very well. Dr Grace Grey had a baby daughter the same age as Kate Kavanagh and Ana Steele. So Mia Grey became close friends with the other girls. Mia had two older brothers Elliott 8 and Christian 6. Mia was a month younger than Kate and Ana was two weeks older than Mia. All were able to start school at the same time. Their parents all enrolled them in the same academy. Seattle Progressive Academic Arts grades K -8. Now everything would have been fine except others had heard of how competitive Kate and Ana were tested just how far they would go to win against each other. But the competition started growing and drew others into it. Of course not all the competitive games were known by their parents or the parents of the other parents.

E L James gets credit for the characters names, but the idea is partly due to my weird imagination. Christian Grey is of course a billionaire, single and not looking for a wife. Anastasia Steele has been given no choice but to get married by her very insistent family. Her inheritance is at stake. So she creates a fake name and places and ad on line for a husband. Elliott Grey spots this ad and decides to answer it using a fake name as well. But he describes himself as Christian Grey his brother. He brings in Mia and his new wife in in the setup. He had Barney Christians IT expert trace the ad and find out who the person actually is and finds out the whole story. He decides with his three cohorts this young lady is the right person to get Christian to the alter. Carrick and Grace Grey are worried that Christian will not ever marry. He has had his share of women, but they all want the wedding and he is tiring of all the attention he gets from women who have one goal in mind a ring on his finger showing he is off the market.
