Reversal

This chapter will only serve as an introduction to the new house. For some it may be considered as filler, you can skip it if that's what you want.

"It should reach, send me the GPS location and I'll do the shopping, it should all arrive in like 3 days, you need people to arrange everything, right?"

"Yes, that too please"

"I will look for the people, I will send you the ballots with your aunt Sara, do you need anything else?"

"No, that for now, thank you"

"You're welcome~"

Hanging up the call, Christian sighs as he rubs his temples "What would I do without them."

"Facebook already announced the purchase of Whatsapp, I got a lot of requests for interviews, and I'm on TV almost daily as the youngest person to become a billionaire... when I get all the journalists together, I'll release the shit to the world."

Saturday, December 17, 2011.

Getting out of the car, Christian looked up and surveyed the whole place, while Alan and Hailie looked at the place with their mouths open.

"Wow..." Hailie murmured, then turned to Eva and pointed at the mansion "This is our new house?"

"Yes..." Nodded Eva in a daze, glancing sideways at the people installing gadgets all over the place.

"How amazing!" Alan exclaimed excitedly, as his eyes sparkled "It's just like the ones in the movies!"

"It's our new house, let's go inside and see it" Smiling softly, Christian ruffled Alan's hair and looked at his mother "This is your new house, it's in your name"

"I-it's mine?" stuttered Eva in disbelief.

"Yes, this is your house, you can do whatever you want with it" With a smile, Christian took his mother's hand and they walked towards the entrance, being instantly greeted by the housekeeper.

"Welcome, I'm Aria, the staff manager of this house, nice to meet you" Smiling professionally, Aria introduced herself.

Aria was a woman in her 60's, she had a friendly smile on her face and wore simple clothes.

Her face was white and her hair was already silver with age, her eyes were a brownish color and overall, the woman looked quite friendly.

"Nice to meet you Aria, I am Christian Grey and we are the Grey family, we will see each other often" Stretching out his hand, Christian looked at the woman with a smile.

"A pleasure sir" Aria smiled, shaking the little boy's hand.

"Aria, the stunned woman next to me is my mother, Eva Grey" Looking at his mother, Christian spoke "This woman will give a lot of trouble to your people, she likes to do everything herself, so don't hesitate to scold her"

"We'll keep that in mind" Stretching out her hand, Aria looked at Eva "It's nice to meet you madam"

"Nice to meet you..." Nodded Eva, squeezing the woman's hand awkwardly.

"Aria, these two little troublemakers are my siblings, Alan Grey and Hailie Grey, these two always cause chaos, so please bear with him" Pulling them closer to him, Christian ruffled their hair and smiled.

"You're the unruly one!" Alan exclaimed with a pout.

"H-hello" Hailie whispered shyly.

"What cute kids" Smiled Aria softly "I have granddaughters your age, so don't worry, I know how to handle kids"

"Aria, could you tell me how many people work here?"

"If we count the two staffs together, we have 35 workers, 5 people dedicated to taking care of the lawn and gardening, 10 people dedicated to cleaning this home and 10 in the other home, the other 10 are dedicated to keeping the yards clean, while I make sure everything goes well and nothing is ever missing, we can also do the kitchen paper if you need it."

"No need, mom cooks very exquisite food" Taking his mother's hand, Christian dragged her a little further, directly encountering two long staircases to the side, while the ceiling was incredibly high and beautifully painted with a drawing of a sky with clouds, while a large crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling.

"Let me give you a tour of the place" Stepping forward, Aria smiled and led them straight into the first room, where large glass windows gave a view out over the entire courtyard "This is the first living room, as you can see it has 4 sofas for 10 people in total."

The room was quite beautiful, all the walls were a beautiful cream color, while another large crystal chandelier hung on the ceiling.

On one side of the place, there was a big fireplace to keep the place warm, and although there were only 4 sofas in the center, next to it, there was a small coffee table with two more sofas.

There was the occasional painting in place, but Christian found them irrelevant and didn't give them a second glance.

"As you can see, the fireplace connects to another room inside the mansion, making the most of the warmth it gives" Walking towards an entrance, Aria continued speaking "On the other side we have the exit to the patio, which connects to the main kitchen of the home, the kitchen has a dining room and at the same time another staircase to the second floor."

The dining room was fully equipped and really big, to the point that it was literally the size of Christian's old house.

"On the whole second floor, we have 3 bathrooms that are usually used for visitors" Pointing to a corner, Aria continued "That door leads to the laundry room, it has washer and dryer, plus another small kitchen that is usually for the cooks to use, you know, people don't usually like some smells and they make us cook in those places"

"What bullshit is that" Eva muttered in disgust "These people think they're the big deal for having money."

Raising her eyebrows, Aria looked at Eva "It happens quite often with rich people, but I see you guys give a different atmosphere, does it bother you that I talk like this?"

"Not at all, I like your sincerity" Christian smiled, looking in passing at another large room that had comfortable sofas and a large television.

Opening the patio door, Aria stepped out "Outside we have handmade beach chairs for your enjoyment, the pool and hot tub has an automatic cover, just push a button and everything closes, the pool and hot tub have heaters to heat the water, plus the pool cleaner comes every week to keep the water always clean."

"Wooow!" Hailie exclaimed, quickly running to the side of the pool, where a small slide could be seen "Looks fun!"

"The pool has a depth of 2 meters, so you have to be careful with the kids, we still have floats that came with the house" With a soft smile, Aria continued walking, following a path surrounded by bushes, while on the banks there were numerous benches "Further ahead we have the tennis court and next to it is the Basketball court, both are taken care of by the gardeners, so you will have no problem with them, the courts have a changing room and showers on one side, plus it has its own gazebo"

"Aria, is it possible to take out those stones and change it for grass?" pointing towards the surroundings of the pool, Christian asked.

"Of course it is, we have to tell the gardeners and they do the shopping and installation."

"Thank you, I'd like them to do that please."

"At your orders" Aria smiled, then pointing towards different cement circles "Those are gas braziers, they are perfect for use during the night, while around all the paths we have gas torches, they are automatic so it's a matter of pushing a button and they all light up"

"Now as you will see" Pointing towards the house, Aria continued "The house has different balconies, one of them is the main one where we have more tables and lounge chairs for you to use in whatever you want, the house has 3 floors, on the top floor you have 4 large rooms with their own balcony"

"The house has 4 exits to the backyard, and 3 exits to the front, counting with the parking lot" Pointing to another side "There you have the gym, fully furnished and all new for use, even side is the Sauna with different air fresheners for better care for the skin"

Walking up, Aria led them to the second floor "On the second floor we have another kitchen, 2 living rooms and 3 guest rooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, counting 5 bathrooms in total."

"We have two staircases to the third floor, where we have 4 large bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and large closets for clothes, but we will see those later" Walking to a corner of the second floor, Aria opened a large door and showed the inside "This place is the cinema, it has 15 fully reclining seats lined in leather, the seats have the ability to massage. In the back we see a state of the art projector that broadcasts Full HD, the room has ambient sound, having 12 speakers surrounding the place, it also has intelligent lighting that you can modify to your liking"

"A movie theater!" Alan exclaimed, quickly sitting down in one of the seats "And they are very comfortable!"

"Alan, we'll look at that later, let's go check out your new room!"

"Yes!" nodded Alan energetically.

"On the other side we have another living room and a game room, the game room only has a pool table, the rest can be filled in at your choice"

"Billiards?" With a burst of excitement, Eva walked quickly and looked around the whole room "It has a bar too!"

"Yes, it has a fully stocked bar, it has a few complimentary drinks, but the rest you fill in yourself."

"I guess this is mom's room" Smiled Christian.

"We can add a Rockola to the side, a dimmer light and-"

"All the lights in this house are modifiable, you can change them with the controls."

"Perfect!" Nodded Eva quickly, looking all over the place with a big smile "I could also buy a drum set and add it to the side, so I can play whenever I want to"

"Mother, we'll see about that later, let's keep looking at the house" With a soft smile, Christian took his mother's hand and forced her out of the place "We'll skip the guest rooms, let's go straight to the third floor please"

"Okay" Nodding, Aria led them towards the staircase, which also had its own chandelier "On the third floor we have the 4 main rooms, and apart from that 3 empty rooms for whatever you want to do"

"Let's go to the empty rooms first" With interest, Christian spoke.

"Follow me" Leading them through the house, Aria arrived to a large living room with plenty of sofas and another large TV "If you look at the sides, we have 3 doors, each guiding the rooms I told you about, they are all the same size, only the view changes"

Nodding, Christian walks and opens the doors, finding a rather large white room, while the whole floor was lined with a kind of cream colored carpet.

"Does this whole floor have carpeting like this?" noticing that since they went up the stairs, everything had the same kind of flooring, Christian asks curiously.

"Yes, this floor is the one that is considered familiar, everything is carpeted, including the personal rooms and closet area."

"Perfect" Christian nodded, then turned to Hailie "Come, take a look at this."

Rushing over to her brother, Hailie pokes her head out "There's nothing in it..."

"Yeah, would you like this room as your play place? It could be painted any color you want, add couches if you want, put a big TV in there for you, you could even buy another big desk and put your computers next to it."

"..." Processing for a moment how amazing everything would be, Hailie turns with excitement and shouts "I really can!?"

"Sure you can, this will be your own place, you can do whatever you want with it, just tell me what idea you have and we'll talk to the people to set it up the way you want it."

"Thanks brother!" Hugging Christian quickly, Hailie shouted with excitement.

"Thank mom, it's her house" With a soft smile, Christian stroked the girl's head, then turned to Alan and smiled "You'll have your own room too, you can do whatever you want with it, just tell Aria what you need and she'll get it for you, isn't that right?"

"It's like that young man, it's my job" Aria smiled.

"Whatever I want?" Alan asked suspiciously.

"Yes, whatever you want."

"Can I turn it into a beauty salon?"

"Yes..." Sighing, Christian nodded.
