This can't be happening. No! His family was not supposed to know about this . Fuck! He feel like walls are closing on him. He needed to get out of here, but where would he go. He didn't want to go to Escala and he is sure as hell he couldn't go to his parent's. She said she'll talk to them, make them understand that he needed this. He should wait here until she call.

"Christian!"

"No Elena. This is your fault. You let her cross her limits and now my parents know the only thing I never wanted them to find out".

"I know..."

" Don't even get started with this ''I know' shit Elena. You were there with Grace and Carrick when Leila showed up and created that fucking scene. All fake. Even you know what she said was a lie and you did nothing to stop. Why?"

Banging his hands on the table, he let out a growl. He was pissed at Elena, his only friend and she kept her mouth shut when that girl was painting wrong picture of him in front of his parents. He wanted to take her to his playroom and beat the shit out of her until he sees red.

He was losing control and he hated the fact that he's become so vulnerable. Only 24 hours ago everything was so fine. He had his birthday dinner with his family. His sister... what might be she thinking of him. He's a monster in his family eyes. He hated himself, despised himself...

Elena, sitting on the other side of the table, was trying hard to hide her glee. Her plan was in motion and the result was exactly the same she wanted. When Christian said he no longer wanted to be in that lifestyle, she couldn't believe her ears. She couldn't let that happen, she'll lose her boy toy and that's when she framed this plan to trap him back to the only lifestyle he'd ever known. He was becoming more attached to his family. He even started spending most of his nights at his parent's home. Grace, Carrick, Mia, Elliot.. everyone was over the moon. Christian was slipping through her fingers. And one day he called he doesn't require submissive anymore.

He was inclining towards the love his family was showing to him. She wanted him back, trapped in all the lies she'd told him over the years and she was succeeding.

"There's just one way left. I can't let this lie to shadow our lives."

Christian said with determination making Elena a little frighten. She didn't expected the control and firmness in his voice. She wanted him vulnerable, at her disposal.

"Wh..what way?"

"We need to come clean Elena. We have to tell them everything. What we had? How you helped me through my bad time. They will be angry I know.. but they will know where I was coming from. I can't lose them". His voice breaking.

Panic coursed through Elena's blood. Her plan was backfiring on her. She needed to do something asap.

"Christian, Listen to me. You are right and they should know the truth".

"Let's go then". Christian was out of his seat in a nanosecond.

Elena blinked rapidly at him. He really will do anything to make this right, she just couldn't let everything she has made for herself so far to crumble down.

"Wait..."

"What now ?"

Christian didn't want to wait anymore. The wait is killing him inside. Why this all has to happen only when finally, he was able to accept the love of his family.

"I think, I should go to meet Grace and Carrick. They are far too angry to face you, Christian".

Christian closed his eyes in pain. Elena had told him how angry they were. How they said they didn't wanted to see him ever again. How afraid they were to have him around their daughter. Mia.. his little sister. How will he ever make them believe that he was no monster. But then, he himself believed he was a monster. He smashed his blackberry on the wall. Elena jumped a little but she knew that she's got him. She needed to get out of here before Christian changes his mind. Pushing her chair, she stands and with a long stride she's beside him placing her hand on his upper shoulder. Christian didn't flinched away, he was used to Elena's touch and she knows the boundaries.

"Don't worry, darling. I'll do anything and everything. You can trust me".

Christian just nodded his head, too broken to say anything.

"Stay here until I call you back. This is my fault and I'll make this right".

His confidence trembling as he saw Elena walk out of the door.

Now, it's been 4 hours 20 minutes and 34 seconds but Elena hasn't called yet. Christian has a new phone now, thanks to Andrea. His mind blank. He trust Elena and if she said she will make this right then she will. Christian has been in his office since morning. Taylor has checked on him hundred times. Christian is too busy with his thoughts to notice that. Taylor knows everything and he has his doubts. He believes that Elena Lincoln has everything to do with this, but he needs to get all the proofs before he discuss that with his boss.

Suddenly the phone rings, Elena's name flashing on the screen and Christian's heart leaps out in his mouth. Too afraid to answer. He can't lose his family, not now, not ever. With a heavy heart he picks up the phone.

"Christian". Elena whimpers from the other side.

"What the hell, Elena? What happened?".

"I need you to come here. Please save me". Elena sobbing, with fake tears.

"Hold on, where Elena.. jus..just tell me where are you". Christian voice is panicked and laced with concern for his only friend.

"Lake Slyvia State park". She said breathlessly.

"What...what's going on? And what the hell you are doing in Montesano?"

"Just come Christian... please just come... and.. and ...don't don't bring Taylor or any security with you Christian...They...they will kill me".

And with that the line went dead.

"Fuck!".

All his worry about his parents took a back place as he rushes out of his office. What the fuck has happened? Though he can't comprehend, but he knew well if Elena has asked not to bring Taylor along then he better not.

On the other hand Taylor is busy tracking Leila down. She's the only person that can answer the questions to which Taylor needs the answers.

Ana wiped her tears away as she drives from Seattle. She left behind her friend, her dream job, her future. She just couldn't handle. Kate was not home and this was best time for Ana. She didn't want to hurt Kate. It was easy for her this way. She left a note for her, apologizing for leaving and thanking her for everything she's done for her and promising her that she'll call soon. She knows Kate would have never let her leave, so when she was out with her new bf, Ana took full advantage of the opportunity. Packing up her bag, she just left.

Ray's death has made Ana vulnerable and exposed. With both her parents dead, she couldn't help but feel alone. Kate has always been there for her but it wasn't just the same. Her mom died four years ago due to cancer, but Ray was there to get her through. She graduated four months ago. She remembered how happy she was, waiting for Ray to come. But he never came, just a phone call to inform that he's been in a car accident. He fought for 7 days.. seven complete days but then he left her, too.

Since then, she wasn't herself. She felt like there's no motive in her life, no one was there to be proud of her, to tell her they were with her through thick and thin. She tried hard, so hard to fight her emotions but she couldn't. She started working At SIP, her dream job. It's been a week there. She thought this will help. But she was wrong. With each passing day she felt more alone. Kate said she just needed a boyfriend. She smiled through her tears as she remembered her friend.

But she has left everything. She doesn't know yet where she'd go, but she drives through the dark.

Traffic was light. She glanced up at the board that reads "Montesano". She smiled to herself. She's just few minutes away from her dad's home. She will stay there for few days and then decide what she has to do. Maybe return back to Seattle? She doesn't know yet. But she needs this break, away from everyone she know to work out through her inner emotions.

BAMB...

Ana hit something. Oh God! Ana screamed. She leaps out of her car rushing towards the body laying in front of her car. Her heart beating frantically. Oh God! What have I done. She bends down, tears running down her face.

"Hey, I am so sorry".

She hears the whimpers of the man and her heart clenches at the sound. She sat there horrified as she register the blood flowing down his head. He's moaning loud. This blood isn't the result of the hit by her car. She instantly knew something is wrong. Someone tried to hurt this man.

With great difficulty, she dragged the body, as gently as she can, to the passenger seat of her car. The moaning became louder and she felt the man shaking.

"I'll make you sit in the seat. Due you understand? I am here to help you".

The man nodded his head a little, and Ana sigh in relief. Surprisingly the man held his wait as Ana tried to lift him up. With some difficulty he was finally in the seat. Ana puts the seat belt. She hurriedly took out her old top and water bottle from the back seat. Wetting her top, she wiped his face. Blood was still running down his face. She needs some ice pack first, then she'll take him to the hospital.

Hastily, she gets into the driver seat, driving through the dark roads, she knew a hospital, 15 minutes drive from there.

"Waaaa..terrr". Says the man with shaky voice. Ana mentally kicked herself for wasting all the water while wetting the top.

"Just wait a little...please... Please stay awake". Ana says.

Taking the left turn, Ana saw a cafeteria, her spirits lift up a little. She parks outside and turns to the man.

"I'll be back...just a minute...".

Ana runs to the cafeteria, there's a long line at the counter. Fidgeting on her feet, she mentally cursed the people ahead of her in the line. To her right, there's lady sitting with four men. They were whispering to each other. Don't know why, but Ana felt herself wanting to know what they are talking about.

"I want him dead". Ana gasped but quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

"You all understand. we have left him there in the park. The blows given to him were pretty brutal, I don't think he'll survive. But I don't want to take any chances. You go there in the morning to check on him. The chances are low of anyone being there this late, but still if anyone takes him to the hospital..I can't risk that. So, I want you all to stay here for next couple of days to make sure he's dead. Check every hospital in the 100 metre radius if required".

They all nod at her.

"If you want your money, Make sure he's dead".

With that she walks out of the cafeteria. Ana breath has been caught in her throat. She can't believe what she just heard. She was so lost in the thoughts, that she didn't realized it was her turn to order. She quickly bought a water bottle and some ice packs and runs out of there. She knew they were talking about the man in her car. She panicked as she saw that same lady standing near her car, while talking on her phone.

Ana stand on her place, frozen. After few minutes a black Audi comes to halt on the road. The lady quickly heads to the car. Opening the passenger seat, she enters the car and flew away in speed. Ana breaths in little relief she felt. She walks to her car. Opening the passenger seat, she brings the bottle near the lips of the man, try to make him drink some water.

"Here, A little sip." She cooed as if talking to a small child. She puts the ice pack on his head.

The man grunts in pain. Ana's heart clenches once again.

"Don't worry, I'll keep you safe from that lady or anyone else". Ana says with new determination.

So, this idea was floating in my mind from quite a time now. Do you like it? Want me to continue? Do tell guys.

Update for my other story will be tomorrow.
