Fifty Shades...Full Circle

Book III

A continuation of the Fifty Shades Trilogy

*A Writer's Coffee Shop Featured Story May 2013*

Thank You.

This story  continues where Fifty Shades...Clarity left off. Ana and Christian have endured a hard year, scandal, heartache and Christian finally recognizing and  accepting his past  have plagued them. Yet they remain strong with their love for each other and  their family. Will new revelations tear them apart? Will the coming changes divide them or make them stronger?       This is Book III. You will probably want to read 'Fifty Shades More', Book I and 'Fifty Shade Clarity', Book II first. They are both posted here.

Hmmm again.... Just speculating.... The way you emphasized Harold and Maggi's approval of happy marriages made me wonder.  What if Christian, who left for Pittsburgh considering if he could stay with Ana after she betrayed him, only decided to work on forgiving her after realizing how important a happy marriage is to the Vanderbergs?  What if Christian were biding his time to really deal with Ana's betrayal until after the purchase was complete?  The only thing that keeps this evil idea in check was Christian's obvious contact with his grandmother, plus, he would not be so duplicitous with Ana - would he?

I am going to take the time now to thank you for writing this story.  I have been engrossed in all three books and I am ecstatic to know that you are still posting and I have over 100 chapter left to read.  I want to commend you for giving Christian the maturity to handle the Virginia Douglas situation the way that he has.  He felt betrayed, hurt and disappointed -- but he did not try to punish Ana physically or sexually at that point.  He removed himself from the situation, and sought help and guidance.  Finally, he reconciled with Virginia and Ana.  Kudos!

Hmmm.... Lorna seems stubborn.  If I had to guess, I would think that Lorna is about to come to some tragic end, and Ana and Christian will end up adopting Tommy.  Is that the full circle that the book title references?  After all, Ana cannot have anymore children, just like Dr. Grace.  Lorna and Tommy seem like a reincarnation of Ella and Christian.

Is it weird that I feel like I am still grieving for Sam.  The death of Elena helped.  These lemons DEFINITELY help.  I am enjoying the rollercoaster ride that your story has taken me.

I guess we know where the engagement ring is. Little Grace's purse - I love it.

Beautiful chapter.  I am glad that Ana and Christian are turning to each other while they are still grieving for Sam.  As an avid reader, I love stories where I end up feeling like a part of the family.  Your story has certainly made me feel that way.  As a member of the family, I am still grieving for Sam myself.  I still I could dig up dead Elena and kill her again - her death was too easy.

OK - this cold is lingering.  I hope Christian does not have some un-diagnosed medical condition.  Heal our Christian :)

I am getting a little nervous. I am about to start Chapter 139 which means I am catching up. I have gotten quite attached to this family you have created. I am not looking forward to the story ending, but I want to thank for your tireless effort and dedication to this story. I know authors can feel unappreciated sometimes, but rest assured, you have done an excellent work here.

Summary:

"And even though I know somewhere in his twisted heart he loved me as much as I still love him—maybe more, in some ways—I know I couldn't stand to live with him anymore. He was killing me, slowly and painfully, and I had to go."

I hope you are well. I just discovered this story and I am thoroughly enjoying it.  It seems as though there has been no activity since early 2014.  As it is 2015 now, I am assuming you have abandoned this story.  That is a shame because I loved your slant on the Ana/Christian story.  There were many plot points that I wish were resolved.  Will Ana and Christian stay together through all their issues?  Where is Ana's drunken mom and stepdad - will they re-appear?  Will Elena get out of prison, and what hell will she wreak?  Also, I noticed your use of the sub names (Leila and Susannah) and the birth moms name (Ella).  Will these characters prove true to form?  So many possibilities.... please reconsider completing this story if you are able.



Author's Response:

Thank you for the review! I have continued this, you can find it on Fanfiction.net, same penname and same title. Time just wasn't enough to keep the story up to date on multiple platforms... I look forward to reading your take on the rest of the story (not quite finished yet)  if you decide to continue reading it!

Summary:

She could love me. She could even hate me. She could loathe my guts but she was not allowed to forget me. Love and hate, both can pave the path to obsession, especially when the thin line that separates them begins to blur. Warning: Dark!

I discovered this story and read it within a weekend.  I have noticed that it has been a while since you posted a chapter; I hope you are doing well, and real life is not interfering with your writing. 

I love the darker turn you are taking with this story.  I have fear for Anastasia's welfare in this Christian's hands.  Normally I do not side with Kate, but the last couple of chapters makes me think Christian may actually abduct her for a TPE.  I have not read a story with that distinct possibility before.  I am beginning to wonder how she will get out of the restaurant.

I know you promised that this was a darker story, but after 27 chapters, even I am tired of Ana's virginity.  I only hope that she gives it away willingly, not have it taken from her.

I was hoping they would have a hot one night stand.  Then Ana would leave, not wanting to be clingy while Christian continued to pursue her.

Please come back to this story.  Your fans are waiting with baited breath.
