"You want me to do what?" Ana thundered.

"He wants to tell his story, I mean every single last detail." Elliot pleaded with Roz looking on.

"You are asking me to sit in a room with that man and…" She sighed knowing full well she couldn't say no. If there were two people she was indebted to it was Roz and Elliot. "This is not fair you both know I can't say no to you." She lamented.

"So how long will this take anyway?" If we can get it down in a couple of days… we can have it out by the end of the month.

"That's in less than three weeks." Elliot chokes out surprised by how fast it was all happening.

Soon though Elliot's planned had snowballed into the addition of his family. Everyone wanted to tell his or her side of the story and the three-week window was now a very tight three weeks. It was a way for his family to get out from under the media glare and accusations. But what this episode had thought this family was who their true friends were.

Excerpts of their story will feature in Seattle times in the days leading up to the release of the free eBook. He feared for Christian who was determined to tell the whole story, the whole ugly truth. Elliot prayed that the public would come around like he and his family had when they heard Christian's story. His only worry was Christian's BDSM lifestyle, it was a hard enough lifestyle for most people to understand but finding out why Christian felt the… "Hey… where are you?" Kate asked straddling his lap.

"Kate I'm not so sure about this… Christian telling his story, this could ruin him and not just him, his employees."

"Elliot if he doesn't and somehow the press find out, that's what would ruin him. They will know if he's leaving something out and dig. Someone will come forward hoping to cash in. What about his subs, what if one of them decides to come forward during all this. It's best for him to come clean once and for all."

Ana couldn't believe she was doing this, but if she was being honest with herself she was curious to learn how one woman manipulated an entire, not just any family, the Grey's. Carrick was a lawyer, Grace a doctor, surely the signs must have been there. But then again people like the Lincoln woman and Morton were masters at hiding their true nature. "Hello." Ana recognized the woman as Dr. Grace Trevelyan Grey. "I knocked, but you seemed far away," she said with a smile that lit up her face.

"Sorry, I was daydreaming there for a moment," she says welcoming her into my office.

"Thanks for doing this. Elliot speaks the world of you…" Ana knows she wants to say more but is unsure.

"You are about to tell me about the most trying episode of your life, you can ask me anything you want." She giggles.

"He told me Christian is in love with you." Her saliva goes down her windpipe and her eyes tear up as she coughs trying to clear it. "I take it you didn't know this?" She asks amused.

"NO." She struggles to speak. Ana isn't sure how she feels about the information; she hasn't been cordial to the man. So when did he fall for her, if it was true? "We'll start when you are ready," she says moving away from the subject.

"She came from nothing. Got a job at a high-end hairdresser's in New York where she met Michael. They got married and well she was bored. He travelled a lot with his job. I felt sorry for her and invited her to one of my luncheons to make friends. She wasn't judgmental… I guess that was why I felt I could talk to her regarding Christian." She sighs heavily. "She used it as a weapon. I confided in her and she used it as a weapon against my son." A tear drops and she quickly dashes it away.

"Can I get you something to drink? Tea, coffee, a shot of whiskey." Ana asks with a smile making Grace chuckle.

"No dear I'm fine. I take care of kids; I know the signs of abuse when I see it. How I missed it on my own son I still cannot get my head around it." Her anger starts to surface. "He had suffered so much by the age of 4 and she knew that and yet had no qualms about enticing my son into a lifestyle that isolated him more from us, from our love and…" this time she let the tears fall.

Ana felt drained and this was only the first interview for the eBook publication of Christian's story. Elena Lincoln was evil personified; the woman took advantage of an entire family and fucked up a boy who was already a mess. Ana couldn't express how happy she was that Christian has realized that bitch didn't help him but, in fact, messed him up and turned him into a man that was far from happy and was controlled by a lifestyle she introduced him to. She was sure Grace only told her hoping her anger towards Christian would wane. Clearly Elliot had told his mother the whole sordid tale between her and Christian.

Christian paced his office hoping and praying his mother would up and say hello. He will ask her to stay for lunch; unfortunately she had a lot of time on her hands thanks to him. Boy, talk about a turn up for the books, him in desperate need for his mother, even if it was just a hello. There was a time he grumbled when he was told his mother was on the way up. He'd make up a meeting or conference call just to get rid of her.

If he had to go home for Sunday lunch, he'd moan because it was taking time away from his subs. "Sir, Dr. Grey is here…" he pulled the door open with enough force to break the ridiculously expensive door handle.

"Mom." He walked out to her and pulled into a hug. "Come in… Andrea order some…" he stopped and stared at his mother's entertained face. "What would you like for lunch?"

"I'll have whatever you have," she said doing her best to hold back her laughter. Despite the horrendous situation the family found themselves in, Grace Grey couldn't be happier. Talking to Ana had helped; that young lady was a thing of beauty and brains… no wonder Christian was enthralled.

"Hey, Andrea." Christian froze at the door when he heard the voice, the voice he'd heard so much in his dreams. Every fiber of his being willed him to enter that office and ignore her, but he couldn't.

"Hello dear." His mother, his angel, his salvation greeted her with a warmth reserved for her children and husband.

"Hello, Grace…" She paused looking at Christian who looked tense as though he was expecting to be… she didn't know what he expected, but it certainly wasn't what followed.
