"Elena why have you sent her here?!" I barked into the phone.

"My, my Christian. What makes you think I sent her?"

I heard Elena smirk down the phone. It sickened me. Why was she doing this? What's was she getting out of this? Why now? No matter what, Leah Clarkson had to go. No way am I going to let a relative of Elena's to stay at my work place.

"Oh and Christian, don't think you can fire her and then that'll be the end of your problems because if you even think of firing her, I will make sure the whole world know what a heartless sadistic man you really are, and it will have nothing to do with me."

I slammed my hand down hard on the glass table,expecting it to cut my hand and break but no. "Elena, what do you want? Money?"

"No Christian. I want my sub back" I knew by her voice that she was being serious. I couldn't believe this. I hadn't been her sub in 16 years and yet she decides now she wants me back?

"What are you talking about? I'm not a sub anymore Elena. You know that."

"Do you remember Catrina Paddington?" Catrina? As in my first sub? The one and only time I actually hurt a sub. It hurt me to think about it, after all I never wanted to hurt any of my subs, well not actually hurt them without their consent. "I take it that you do remember her. Remember that I helped you pick her out at the dungeon? You hated that club but it was the best damn BDSM club around."

I growled in frustration. "Damn it Elena! I didn't want a fucking trip down memory lane!"

Elena simply chuckled at my sudden outburst. "Patience Christian. I hope you remember who you are speaking to." It might of been a long time ago but Elena's stern voice still had the same effect on me, making me instantly quiet. "Now Christian, if you will let me continue." She paused letting me calm slightly. "Remember all those years ago, I took you there? And I introduced you to Catrina? She looked so much like your birth mother you told me. You wanted to punish her for it; wasn't that what you told me Christian?" She was right. "What I left out from you that night is that Catrina is my niece. After her first session with you, she wanted you to be her master for life but you didn't want that and then she didn't understand why you wanted to take the pictures of her. Of course, you told me why; as insurance. Well Christian, I told her to do the same. So there is video of you beating her, whipping her, suspending her, oh and, here's the best part. It's in my hands right now." I stiffened.

"Elena please. Don't do this..." I managed to chock out. "I can't be your sub. You know I can't do that..."

"You keep Leah there and maybe, just maybe, I'll consider another way you can please me. Oh and if you dare mention this to mommy or daddy, I'll come after your whole family because there is a lot your mother confined in me and I'm sure she doesn't want you, Mia, Elliot or her precious Carrick to know."

The line went dead. I sat there, frozen in place. If word got out about who I was, who I still am to some extent, everything would be over. My parents would disown me, Mia and Elliot wouldn't understand. Would Ana understand? Would she be able to see what I was like and get past that? What about the kids? They are already in school, they would be bullied. My whole life would be over.

My anger boiled over and I flipped over the table making it smash in a million pieces, paper flying all over the place. Taylor and Ros immediately ran in.

"Ros, cancel everything for this morning! Taylor call Sawyer and tell him to pick the children up from school now! Then wait for me by the car. I'll be down in 10!"

I stormed out of the room, leaving Ros and Taylor in shock. They'd never seen me like this before because I wasn't just angry, I was also terrified. I walked into the coffee room and saw Leah talking to a few of the others.

"Peters, Brown, go back to your offices." I stated. Afterall, I am their boss. If I say jump, they better jump. They looked uneasily at each other then at Leah, then back at each other again. I guess they realized that in the mood I'm in, it's best to just do as I say or they could end up losing their jobs. They scurried out leaving us there.

"Is something wrong Mr Grey?" Why is she still acting all innocent and polite? Isn't she in on Elena's plan?

"What is your relation to Elena Lincoln?" My voice low but anger is clearly there. My fists, ready to jump over the table inbetween us and force her to speak, to hurt her for trying to hurt me, my family.

She smirked. "Elena's my mom's aunt."

Oh my god. "C-Catrina Paddington is your mother?" I asked in disbelief. How can this be? I didn't even know Elena had any other family. Running my hands though my hair, I tried to get things into perspective. Elena is using her grand-niece to get to me? But she knows I'm not a submissive by nature.

"My mom killed herself when she found out about Theodore Raymond Grey, your only son." My eyes shot up at her. "She loved you and never wanted you to let her go. She begged you to let her stay. She would've done anything for you."

I quickly did the mental math, Leah is 22 and her mother met me when she was 22 when I met her, making her daughter at the time 6. How the fuck could I not of known?! I did a background check on her and it was never mentioned that she had a child. "What about your father?" I breathed.

"She was young and stupid. I never knew him. She'd tell me stories of the man with the grey eyes and the silk bed sheets not like most mom's who'd tell stories about princes right? But, I loved the stories and then she found out about you and Anastasia Steele and it killed her. She hated Aunt Elena for wanting her sub back and she hated you for marrying that Steele woman. It killed her, you killed her. I don't know what my aunt's plan is but you better keep her happy, otherwise, you will see my true colours."

I stood there frozen as she walked out, innocent looking. My whole life is about to fall apart. Would Ana be able to look past what I did in the past? I mean she knew who I was from the beginning but would she be able to see it and get over it? Would my children be okay? They are in school now and parents might tell their children. My children parents, siblings, they would know what kind of fucked up bastard I am. I couldn't let this happen. No way in hell am I going to let this happen.


Hey guys! I have a few to say really quick.

First off,Chapter two, I was joking (bad joke, I know) about Christian cheating. I actually didn't realize how many cheating stories there are so.

Secondly, I wrote a PERFECT third chapter last night and like an idiot, today I decided to change it. I changed A LOT of it and then decided that I hated how I had changed it so I tried to undo all the changes and Libreoffice wouldn't let me go back that far so I retyped it to the best that I can remember it. Sorry guys. I'll never do that again.

Thirdly, to Viv, who posted the comment about University of Houston, I didn't just deicde to guess a name of a university in Texas. I looked it up, found that uni, looked at the majors and then I thought to myself, "I'm going to keep it in the style of Fifty Shades and abbrevitae the name." Now I didn't just think, oh it must be UOH. I actually looked it up. When I googled 'UOH', the FIRST thing it came up with is the University of Houston. THAT is why I used it. And for people who didn't know/wanted to know, all you legit had to do was google it. I'm sorry for the rant, but that comment just annoyed me. I want it to have some resembulance to the book since it's based on the book and I decided to do that.
