He showed her exactly how far he wants to go in \u201cpunishing\u201d her and even though she asks for it, she is left in tears and realizes just how sick and twisted Christian is.  She breaks off their \u201crelationship\u201d and starts focusing on her new career at a publishing house in Seattle. She still wants him and she is overwhelmed with thoughts of him.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nChristian is miserable without her. He\u2019s never felt this way, but, there\u2019s something about Ana and he can\u2019t go on without her. He was her to be his. He wants her to be his submissive. He doesn\u2019t know any other way. When she walked out, he thought he\u2019d lost her forever. He told her that he was Fifty Shades of fucked up and that his past made him who he is. He doesn\u2019t understand why Ana is different from the others, but, he wants to find out.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2017-02-14T18:04:29+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"The Good:\\r\\nE.L. expanded on Christian\\u2019s past and showed us what shaped him.

He makes some suggestions and promises to try harder to be the man that Ana needs. Christian is forced to start dealing with his past. He does go to counseling, but, now the game has changed with Ana being in his life. Ana knows that there were women before her, who accepted Christian\u2019s lifestyle. They embraced being a submissive, but she wants more. She does enjoy what they do in his playroom, but, she feels they can do that and have a more traditional relationship. They face many challenges and feel they are ready to take the next step. Danger is lurking and is closer than they think. Their lives are in danger, but, Ana wants to stay by his side and rescue him from his past. I loved this deeper look into Christian\u2019s past. It answered many questions and brought in some twists that make this a page turner!
