Fifty Shades Of Hope

Ana's POV : Today is 1st January 2018 and here I am with my daughter, Phoebe. My angel. My princess. My lifeline. My hope. Phoebe Hope Steele. Just thinking about her makes me smile. She is the reason which has made me live all these years. She is cute and naughty but I love her the way she is. "What are you thinking about, little sis?" Luke, my bodyguard comes while I am lost in my thoughts. I look at him and pass him a smile. He repeats the process and hugs me. "How life has changed? I never expected to be a multi billionaire and single mom at the age of 25. If some one had told me this 4 years ago I would have laughed at them." I discuss my thoughts with Luke as I know that he never judges me and is a better listener than speaker. He is a man to remain firm on his decisions and gives good advice. While Christian kicked me out of his life I dint knew what to do, it was Luke's idea to start media business and see where I am. I never thought that I would become this successful, I had my problems but Luke helped me and always remained with me. "Don't think about that fucker. He does not deserve someone as lovely as you." He says with pure venom. He hates Christian for not trusting me, he is not wrong in it. When Christian decided to love me, he should have also trusted me but he chose those fake pictures over me. "Rose, when are you thinking about buying the Kavanagha Media in Seattle?" Gideon asks me as he enters the living room with my hot chocolate. I look over the mug and lick my lips and quickly snatch it from him. What I truly need is my hot chocolate I will do business later on. I take a sip and sigh, damn my brother does know how to make hot chocolate. Never thought Gideon Cross would be my half brother. My mother lied to me about my biological father. Mine and Gideon's father are the one. I got to know about this because 3 years ago I was fighting for my life and he was the one who gave me blood. Out of his wife's curiosity, Eva, I got to know that he is my half brother. He is also worried about me because Christian once broke my heart. He fears I might get hurt once again but what he doesn't know that I'm changed and will not fall in any of his traps. I am no longer a naive, sweet girl out of college but I am a confident, sexy and powerful women and mother to a beautiful daughter. "Uh, I am sure bro, just believe in me and I know no matter what will happen in Seattle you will be with me." I hug him and use the sister card. It always work and helps me to get away too. I inwardly smile at the thought. "I am damn sure my big brother will always protect me. After all I am your little sister." I say giggling. "Allow me once to teach that f*****g asshole a lesson about how to treat a lady. How dare he not treat my Rose in a way she has to be treated. Just like a princess."He says with anger and clenches his fists. He also emphasizes on f*****g asshole. If there are two persons who hate Christian Grey more than anything, it will be Luke and Gideon. " Mommy, mommy happy new yeaw."Phoebe comes running to me in her night suit and I set her on my hip. She looks so cheeky and cute.I welcome her with kisses all over her face. " Happy new year to you also, baby girl. "I pinch her cheeks and she scrunches her nose like her father and I laugh at her. She is so adorable and perfect. " Happi new yeaw, aunt Ana" Ryder says running towards me behind Eva. Ryder is Gideon and Eva's son. He is 2 years old. I love my nephew as I love my daughter. Phoebe gets down and hug Ryder, soon both of them run towards Phoebe's room and I am sure that my daughter is showing off her gifts to him. Her actions are similar to Christian, knowing or unknowing she always supports her father. I run into her room and see that my assumption is right. I cough and make my appearance in the room. "Happy new year to you, my gentlemen. So, where is my kiss?" I ask him by pointing towards my cheek and a pouting face. He gives me a sloopy kiss. Phoebe comes near me and wipes off the area where Ryder kissed me, she gives me a new kiss and hugs me. "My mommy." "Happy new year Ana and Phoebe." Eva says and I reply her back. She is like a sister to me and loves me more than anything. "Am I late?Happy new year to all of you and my lovely Luke" Nina asks excitedly as her hands are covered with shopping bags. She can shop for any occasion and I mean it. Nina is Luke's girlfriend and my good friend and stylist. Damn if she is not present, I do not know what I will wear. "No, you are not late. We are still waiting for Alex and Melina to arrive." I say and brush her inside the living room. We all take a seat while Phoebe and Ryder race to Phoebe's room. "Sorry we are a bit late. We had to pick some groceries." Alex and Melina comes. Alex is my stalker and employee. He works for SMG and Melina is his girlfriend and my lawyer. She has her own firm. She has never a lost case yet and is damn expensive. "No problem. So let's enjoy this year and wish it to turn to be the best." I bring my homemade brownies with ice cream as I know that everyone loves it. "Happy new yeaw Alex and Melina. You know my biwtday is coming. I am so excited. All will weaw pink... " Phoebe comes excitedly and claps her hand. My daughter is lost in her own dream. She loves attention and is close to Alex, computers are her life. "Hold on, peanut. No need to speak so fast. I am here and I will be here for your birthday too. What makes you think I will miss it? Huh, never I am gonna miss my peanut's birthday party." Alex says chuckling. He treats Phoebe as his own daughter and he can kill a person for Phobe. He will do anything for her happiness. He goes and shakes hand with Luke. They share a silent conversation. "The party has begun without us. I am so hurt you dint wait for us." Elliot enters the house. Mia was not able to come since she is needed in Bellevue too. They were the one who trusted me when nobody does, not even Christian. They knew I could never betray Christian. It is so difficult to see that the person who promises to love and cherishes you leaves you if it gets tough whereas your friends don't. This proves that never leave your friends for the person you love. It's my personal advice to all of you. "It might have but you are in time so no worries." I say and run to hug him. They are my bro and sis. I know I can trust them with Phoebe's life.
