After accepting entrepreneur CEO Christian Grey's proposal in Fifty Shades Darker, Anastasia Steele must adjust not only to married life but to her new husband's wealthy lifestyle and controlling nature.

Returning home, she finds that her former boss, Jack Hyde, who was fired for attempting to sexually assault her, has been apprehended by the security staff.

Duct tape is found in his pocket and in his van there are tranquilizers and a ransom note—all indications that he intended to kidnap her.

He returns the next morning drunk, claiming Ana will choose the baby - whom he believes to be a boy - over him.

Ana becomes furious when she discovers a text message on Christian's phone from his ex-lover Elena Lincoln, the woman who seduced him when he was fifteen and introduced him to the BDSM lifestyle.

The next two mornings, Anastasia and Christian barely speak to each other, though he insists his and Elena's relationship is long-since over.

She then approaches a waiting car, shocked that Hyde's accomplice is Elizabeth Morgan, her co-worker.

With her real phone in the bag, Christian and Taylor, who have already learned of Mia's disappearance and called 911, trace Ana's location.

Despite having made a pass at him, Elena realized that Christian loved Ana and agreed to leave on good terms.

Christian tells Ana that after learning about the affair, Eric severely beat Elena and divorced her.

Seven months later, Ana and Christian have a son named Theodore Raymond Grey, nicknamed Teddy.

After having BDSM sex, Ana and Christian get ready to celebrate Teddy's second birthday with their family and friends.

Fifty Shades Freed entered The New York Times Best Seller list at number three.
