Christian's POV

I got in my car and drove off as fast as I could. Elena sent me a picture of me with Carina. She wasn't joking. She was going to ruin me and I couldn't allow that to happen. I needed to stop it before it turned into that. I needed to stop her. I need to protect my family. I need to save them from knowing what a sick bastard I am because if I don't, I'll be alone forever.

I pulled up at Elena's house. Her car already in the driveway. I typed in the code to open the gates and before I knew it, I was already inside. Elena wearing a white Dolce and Gabbana mini-dress, smirking at me. She knew I would come. She planned for this.

"Welcome Christian. Would you like a drink?" She held out a glass of wine.

Ana's POV

I sat home worried about Christian. It had been six hours since he left and he wasn't answering his phone. I contemplated asking Taylor to look up his car's location as Christian insisted on having GPS tracking system in every car. I watched Teddy drawing – something Christian thought of as a waste of time – and Fee playing with her custom-made doll house. Christian got her that last Christmas and she still plays with it almost every day. Usually watching the kids calmed me but today, every second of not knowing what Christian is doing is like a punch in my chest.

I had to know where he is. "Teddy, look after your sister for a minute please." I asked as I got up and walked to Taylor's office. I knocked on the door lightly.

"Come in."

I opened the door slowly, hoping I'd hear the ping of the elevator so I wouldn't have to trace Christian but no such luck. "H-Hi Taylor." He immediately looked up from his laptop.

"Mrs Grey. How many I help you?"

"I need you to trace Christian's car. It's important." I was terrified Christian had hurt someone or is doing something he'd regret. I need to know what he's doing and where he is. I need to know. Taylor nodded and began typing on his laptop. It was a top range GPS system Christian put in place which would find out what building name/number he was outside of.

"Mrs Grey, Mr Grey's car is downstairs. It has just pulled into the garage." He typed something quickly and turned the laptop towards me and I saw Christian stepping out of his car. He looks calm but his clothes are ragged – shirt not tucked in, top buttons open – something Christian normally couldn't stand and his hair is all over the place.

"Thank you Taylor." I raced out of Taylor's office back into the living room. "Teddy, Phoebe please go to your rooms." Teddy stood up but Fee crossed her arms and looked at me. Great, a tantrum.

"But mommy!" Fee whined. "I wanna play with my dolly house!"

I looked around for help, but the only other person here is Teddy.

"Fee, come with me and I'll let you play with my helicopter." Teddy said gently.

"Yay!" Fee screamed, running towards Teddy's room.

Teddy looked up at me. "Will you be okay mommy?" That's my little man. Christian tough Teddy to be the man of the house if he wasn't home and that meant protecting me and Fee from anything and anyone, including Christian.

"I'll be fine Teddy. Thank you." I smiled. Sometimes, he acted like my husband and it made me smile. He is going to be a very good husband and father when he grows up. "Go play with Fee." I kissed the top of his head and he ran off just as the elevator bell pinged.

As Christian came in to the living room, I saw he had a small amount of blood on his shirt collar, his hands were bruised and red, he looked like he'd been slapped a few times and he walked with a slight limp. My mouth fell open.

"C-Christian. What have you done?"

He looked up at me. His eyes looked lifeless, no readable expression on his face. He cocked his head to the side slightly. "Nothing Anastasia."

He full named me. He doesn't want to tell me. "Christia-"

"Enough Anastasia. I said nothing happened."

"Fine Christian!" I shouted. "Don't fucking tell me. The kids and I will be at a hotel until you decide to tell me!"

"You can't take my children away!" I barked at me making me jump slightly.

"Oh yeah? Watch me!" I challenged him. I turned around and walked toward the Teddy's room.

"I hit her." His voice low. "And threatened her then I left." I turned around and looked at him. His eyes focused on the floor.

I can't believe he admitted it. In fact, I couldn't believe that he hit a woman, not for sexual gratification but to hurt her. "One hit Christian?"

He looked up at me. "I had to stop her Ana."

"She is… alive?" My heart pounded. If he killed her…

"Of course! I'm not a murderer Ana!" That question clearly irritated him. "I had to stop her Ana. I called an ambulance. She was breathing and conscious. I'm not that much of a monster Ana."

I sighed. I'm happy Christian stood up to her but I'm hoping he didn't go too far, although, she deserves every punch she gets. "You should've told me. We could have gone together and tried other ways Christian. Not everything can be sorted by you punching or buying off people."

"I don't buy off people!" He scoffed as he sat down on the couch.

I raised an eyebrow at him. "You brought SIP to fire Jack."

He sighed. "He fucking kidnapped my sister, attacked you and then blackmailed you. He's lucky I didn't kill him Ana."

I smirked. "But you brought the company to get rid of him or you probably would've ended the company."

"Mrs Grey, are you smirking at me?" He said playfully.

I know where this is leading and now isn't the time for sex. "Christian. Call your father and explain what you did."

He looked confused. "Why?"

"Because she could call the police and the kids need a father here not in jail and then if you go to jail, I will kill her Christian and the kids won't have a mother or father. I need you to tell Carrick, for our family. I love you and will back you up 100 present but Carrick needs to know."

"Ana-"

"Daddy!" Christian cut off by Fee who jumped into his lap with Teddy shouting at her to come back.

"Mom, I'm sorry. She heard dad and wouldn't stay in my room."

I didn't respond to Teddy. I looked at Christian playing with Fee. For some reason, I knew Elena wasn't just going to stop like that.

Christian's POV

The weekend had past and I hadn't heard anything from Elena. Ana kept on at me to tell my father what I had done but I knew that if I did, it would open up questions like 'What kind of pictures does she have?' and if my parents saw them, they would disown me for sure.

In the elevator, I typed rapidly on my Blackberry to a new company I wanted to invest in. The doors pinged open and I took my eyes off my Blackberry and saw Leah, standing there holding a cup of coffee. I swallowed what felt like a rock in my throat.

"Good morning Mr Grey." She smiled at me, being friendly and 'nice' again. "Coffee?"

I stood there, unable to move. I didn't tell Ana the full extent of what I did to Elena but I thought that Elena would take Leah away after what I did. My heart started to pound hard and I couldn't breath. How could she still be here?

"Mr Grey?" Taylor stood next to me, holding the elevator doors open. "Are you okay?"

All I could do was nod. I took a step out the elevator and continued walking to my office. Several people tried to speak to me but I couldn't speak. Elena is out to ruin my life, my family. I stood over my new glass desk and looked at the picture of Ana, Teddy and Fee. My perfect family.

You don't deserve them. You are a screw up and you are ruining their lives.

My wicked subconscious is back. It haunted me for my whole childhood and everyday until I met Ana. I couldn't take him any more. It would kill me this time.

They will leave you and you'll be all alone. Then you'll have no one. Just your money because you know Ana won't take it. Everyone is about to find out how fucked up Christian Grey really is.

"No!" I shouted. I picked up my phone and dialled Elena.

"Hello, Elena Lincoln speaking"

"What do you want me to do?"

"Ah, Christian. How are you?"

"Elena, do not fuck with me now. What do you want?"

"Christian, that is exactly what I want."

"Elena I told you on Friday, I will kill you if you hurt my family in any way. I don't think you should test my patience. Now, I will not have sex with you. I will not be your submissive so what else do you want." I whispered angrily.

Everything was quiet for a few seconds then I heard Elena laugh. "Oh Christian. Do you remember when I suspended you from the wall and spanked you until you cried like a baby? Remember how good that release felt after that? You said that was one of the best times you've ever had. We could do that again."

"I was a 16-year-old kid. You are sick."

"Maybe I should teach young Ted the right ways."

The phone went dead.

No, not my son...

Sorry for the long break. I've been sick but I hope this chapter makes up for it. Oh and to the comment about Christian not being controlling in this situation; his biggest fear is losing Ana. When he lost Ana for the first time in the book, he said he was a mess and it never goes into detail how he was or what happened. Just because he cried doesn't mean he's weak. It means he's scared of losing his family and he has human emotion.
