Reversal

"Great!" Alan exclaimed, running quickly to one of the rooms, looking carefully at the place "In the middle I'll open a walkway, on the sides I'll have big mirrors... I could also add a TV there... yes, I can also have a couch for when I invite my friends over"

Shaking his head, Christian looked at Aria and sighed "I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I want them to feel more comfortable inside the home."

"You don't have to apologize young man, it's your home and you can do as you please" Aria smiled softly, then pointed down a hallway "Would you like to see the rooms?"

"Fine" Turning to the children, Christian shouted "Come and choose your rooms!"

"Yes!"

"Mn!"

With a nod, the children stood quietly beside Aria, looking expectantly down the hallway.

"I guess the last one you see is the master bedroom, right?"

"Yes, it's the largest, usually used for the parents."

"Right" Nodding, Christian looks at Hailie and Alan "Play rock, paper, scissors, whoever wins on the first one gets to pick any room but the master."

Looking at each other, Hailie and Alan squint and nod, then stretch out their hands at the same time.

"Scissors!" Hailie exclaimed.

"Rock!" Alan exclaimed at the same time, then looked down and smiled disdainfully "Heh, loser!"

"NOOO!!!" Hailie exclaimed in frustration "Why do I always lose to you guys!!!"

"Loseeer~" With a grin, Alan looks at each of the rooms, then chooses the one furthest away from the main room.

Curious, Christian enters the room and raises his eyebrows "It sure is big..."

The place has its own closed fireplace, has a large Queen bed and a large closet open to one side, while, to the left, there a small rise with a place of rest and leisure, where you see a sofa and furniture.

Walking inside, Christian opens the bathroom door and is again surprised.

"Each bathroom in this place has double showers and a bathtub with water massage capabilities."

In the center of the bathroom was a large tub surrounded by small stones, while all the rest of the floor was made of some marble-like stones.

"Nice" Christian nodded, only to turn and see Hailie disappear.

"She went to see her room, she already picked one" Aria smiled.

"Let's see the master bedroom" Walking towards the exit, Christian looked at his mother and smiled.

Entering the room, the first thing Christian saw was another hanging chandelier, but not just one, but two "These people like chandeliers"

"I find them cute" Eva replied, looking around the room with interest.

The room had a great view of the courtyard with its own balcony, where ashtrays and couches were visible.

There was a large Queen bed in the center, while a small television was at its foot. To the sides were two bedside tables with a lamp on them, while to the left of the bed was the door to a large bathroom.

But the most beautiful thing about the place, is that it has a connection to something like a balcony, but all enclosed with a roof and windows, where 3 sofas and a coffee table adorn the place.

"The room has its own closed fireplace, but as in the whole mansion, it has automatic electric heating" Pointing to the wall, Aroa speaks "That black is a safe, there you can keep your valuables if necessary, the key I understand that came with the purchase of the house, you can change it obviously"

"Yes, we'll change it later" Christian nodded towards Eva.

"The entrance to the closet is on the other side, it's the largest closet, having the same size as the empty rooms on one side, it comes with separator furniture and drawers, everything you need to keep your clothes separated, it also includes a small TV inside"

"As you can see, this place is a sitting area inside the room, you can place a bigger TV on the wall if that's what you want" Pointing towards the sofas, Aria spoke.

"I would like to move the sofas to the wall and place a large desk even next to the windows, plus I want a library for my important books... by the way, do we have a library?"

"Yes, it's on the second floor, a few meters from the playroom, it's soundproofed so you won't have any noise problems."

"Perfect, that the desk is black, also I want a comfortable chair, the most comfortable you can find and that you can adjust the size please... to all this, do we have an office?"

"Yes, we have an office for the head of the household on the second floor."

"Well, that's mom's."

"Anything else?"

"Yes... I'd like to see the panic room."

"That's in the subway, please come with me."

"I didn't know it had a subway" Christian murmured, following the woman.

They walked down the stairs and arrived in front of the wall opposite the main kitchen.

"The former owners of this place were very paranoid, they hid the door behind the wall, only me and the former owners know about this place, and who built it obviously" Touching a button hidden in a corner, the wall suddenly split, while inside a light automatically learned, illuminating the entirety of a staircase in circles "I dispatched all the workers early today so they wouldn't see this place"

"Let's go down" Stepping forward, Aria went down the stairs, while Christian raised his eyebrows at the sight, following her step without hesitation.

Going down, Christian saw a large metal door, while a numeric keypad was visible on the edge.

"Here you have to place the key you were given, that I don't know, so I'll leave you for now" With those words, Aria went back up the stairs.

Looking at each other for a moment, Eva nods and Christian puts in the code "000001... we have to change that stupid key."

Placing the digit, the door started to ring loudly, so that after a few seconds, the door opened inwards.

Swallowing saliva, Christian looked at the door carefully "This door is more than six inches thick..."

Stepping inside, Christian looked around the place, finding a metal box as big as his new room.

In the corners there was furniture full of canned food, while, in the center attached to the wall, there was a big Queen bed with no sheets or anything, just the mattress.

To the side were 3 large sofas, while a rug adorned the center.

"That's it..." Walking quickly to a piece of furniture taking up all the space on one wall, Eva looks at it with sparkling eyes "This is an electric liquor rack... if you put the liquor in the hole, it cools around it, always keeping the bottles at a good temperature."

"How do you know about that?"

"I saw it on TV."

Shrugging his shoulders, Christian opens some of the furniture and finds something that made him raise his eyebrows "Lots of air bottles, also gas masks with connector to the bottles..."

Looking at the bed, Christian walks over to it and picks up a piece of paper that was on it.

"Panic room specs: If you check even side of the door, you will notice the inner lock, when you activate it, the room will only be possible to open from inside, no matter if the person outside has the key..."

"That's good" Eva nodded.

"The room has its own batteries that are kept constantly charged, if the power supply is cut off, the power will last for 5 hours, including the air cleaner."

"The panic room filters the air to the outside, but in case they try to introduce gas or smoke, they will close automatically, leaving only the internal filter, creating 3 hours of air for the moment... after that they have the air canisters, that should last them 4 more hours, all this time was calculated for 7 people, if they are more, it will last less"

"If you open the cabinet next to the water canisters, you will notice that there is a screen there, that screen transmits what is recorded by a hidden camera at the exit of the panic room, you will also notice that underneath there is a big red button, that button activates an alarm that will be sent by satellite to all the police in the area."

"That would be it..." Putting the paper aside, Christian looks with amusement at the only toilet in the place, a toilet that is in plain sight with nothing to cover it "I guess if you need to go to the bathroom, nothing else matters".

"I like this house" Eva spoke, looking carefully at the 4 bottles of wine that were there "And these shits are expensive"

"They must be" Christian nodded, then exited and proceeded to change the panic room password "The password is 723230"

"Why that password?"

"It's the birthday number of the 3 of you, but all the numbers turned around"

"Well... 723230... 723230" Eva murmured over and over again.

"Let's get out? We have to get our stuff out of your car and get sheets from Aria"

"Okay" Eva nodded, trying to awkwardly close the door behind her back, getting nowhere after a few seconds.

"It locks with the key" With an amused smile, Christian looked at the woman's futile effort.

"I knew it" nodded Eva with a serious expression "I just wanted to see how heavy it is".

Rolling his eyes, Christian climbed the stairs, only to notice that the exit was locked.

Looking sideways, he finds the button at the bottom of the first step "These people sure were paranoid."

Opening the door, Christian steps out and stretches.

"This place is unbelievable" Eva's voice sounded beside him "When are the guards you hired supposed to arrive?"

"Today, now they were setting up the motion sensors and cameras, the cameras will transmit in the guards' house and also in ours, I was told they occupied a small place on one side of our door, let's go see"

Arriving at the entrance, Christian opens one of the doors and finds a small closet "This is not it".

Opening the other door, Christian sees what he was looking for, 7 monitors placed one on top of the other, where each monitor showed 6 different videos.

"42 cameras in total should cover the whole area of the house, including the outside parts"

"You never told me where you found these people" Eva spoke curiously.

"Internet, I actually hired mercenaries with specialization in VIP protection."

"Like the presidents?"

"Exactly."

"Wow..."

*Ding*

Picking up his cell phone, Christian read the message and raised his eyebrows, then quickly opened the outside door and watched in real time as car after car entered his backyard home.

The first vehicle to arrive was an armored truck, where from one second to the next, the back doors opened and multiple women in black suits got out, curiously looking around.

The other 5 vehicles were black pickup trucks with tinted windows, Christian instantly recognized the model of the car.

"Chevrolet Suburban, armored vehicles all around..."

"They look imposing" Eva murmured in awe, watching as the women scanned the entire area with narrowed eyes.

The women wore a full black suit with a white shirt, wore sunglasses and a black earpiece in their ears, while a small microphone hung from their shirts.

From the 5 vehicles, more people got out, while one particular woman without glasses got out with a serious look on her face and looked at the rest of the women, then approached them and shouted.

"What are you waiting for? Unload the damn boxes!"

"Understood!" the women shouted, then climbed into the truck and took out 6 large green wooden boxes between two people.

Nodding, the woman looked sideways and looked at the people at the door, and then approached them.

Standing face to face, the woman looked at Eva and Christian "Who is Christian Grey?"

"Me" Christian spoke, looking up to see the woman.

"This is the first time I've ever been hired by a child" With a stoic face, the woman spoke, then pointed towards the boxes "We have weapons in that box, do you need to see them?"
