Previously, Alessia and Maxim got engaged! And they’re going to be married IN A WEEK!
The Mister Chapter 33
The chapter begins with Maxim reeling over the fact that they only have a week to get married. Given this entire book has taken place over maybe two weeks, you’d think he’d be used to the pace by now.
Maxim watches as Alessia runs into her mother’s arms and…feels feelings. I think.
They embrace and cling to each other as if they’ll never let go, and both begin to silently weep in that way that women do.
It’s … affecting.

Was anyone else unaware that silent weeping is a classic component of being a woman? I had totally missed the memo on that one.
Her father watches them and turns to me.
‘Women. They are so emotional.’ Thanas translates his words, but Demachi looks relieved, I think.
‘Yes,’ I answer, my voice gruff, and I hope I sound manly. ‘She’s missed her mother.’

This chapter is brought to you by…men! If you need astute commentary on your experience as a woman, call men! From the makers of toxic masculinity.
Maxim stays at Alessia’s house that night, and she sneaks into his room to see him. They have sex, and then Maxim reflects on everything that’s happened in these past couple chapters and how “affecting” it was. I feel like Maxim is robotically telling us over and over again how affected he is by everything, and it’s weirding me out.
I ease her onto her back to make love to her once again.
Mindful. Beautiful. Fulfilling. Love.
As it should be.
Later this week we’ll be married.
I can’t wait.
I just have to tell my mother …

Uhhhh and that was it! That’s the end! Maxim bones Alessia and thinks about his mother. I guess technically you could say the book went out with a bang? Ha?

Mindful is such a strange word for this context
So … some time ago EL James mentioned that for her next book (Heavens, why?! -_- ) she wants to go back to a BDSM-focused story. Because if she can make money by writing about stuff she has no clue about, why stop? To stay on topic with the “No clue about anything”, she also mentioned that she would like to write a gay romance novel. And some time ago she tweeted that she is rereading and rewatching the whole Harry Potter-stuff.
I can only draw one conclusion, dear friends, and you heard it here first: EL James’ next book will be “Voldemort whips Harry”, also starring Draco Malfoy as The Evil Blonde ™.
Oh my g-d, if E.L. James writes a gay romance novel I will disintegrate into ash
This may be the most underwheming ending I’ve ever had narrated to me? Even Twilight managed to go out with some real plot and action happening. I can only thank you guys for falling on this grenade for us.
Well that certainly had an ending.
For someone as in love with the thesaurus as E.L.James, you’d think she would be able to find a better word than…affecting. Or hell, don’t tell us what he’s thinking or feeling at all. Have Maxim develop a lump in his throat, or have his eyes start to water or something that shows us he is…affected by this reunion between mother and daughter.
I always thought silently weeping was an entry level requirement for womanhood. Along with getting hysterical for no damn reason, buying all the shoes and having pillow fights in lingerie. Or have I been lied to all these years?
Don’t forget singing while using a kitchen whisk as a microphone while having a fun even at home with the gals.
… at least it’s ended, I guess
Unless James is planning a sequel (oh god please don’t)
casual reminder that fifty shades #2 ended with them getting engaged and fifty shades #3 began… after their wedding for some reason. idk if we can learn anything from history. james hasn’t.
It seriously ended with him thinking about his mother? While making love? Does James not have ANYBODY read her stuff ahead of time and say. “Ummm, about this part…”?
Well…Christian Grey did exclusively fuck women who looked like his birth mother, so it’s par for the course for James really.
In one book our hero obsesses over his dead mummy and fucks woman who look like her and in the other our hero obsesses over his dead brother and fucks his widow. Never say E.L.James doesn’t know what women want.
That is a sad but true fact.
