The events of this story take place after 'Welcoming Submission' but may be read as a stand alone story in and of itself.
After receiving a call questioning her daughter Ashley's mental health, Marina goes straight into protective mode. Getting what information the caller was willing to give, she went to the internet where she quickly discovered what sort of things Ashley had gotten herself into. Determined to make sure everything was on the up and up, she created a profile, signed all of the documents and uploaded more than a dozen explicit images of herself just to qualify to get through the front doors of Brentwood Manor where, to her utter surprise, she too was drawn into a life of masochistic submission. It all happened so fast. One second she was talking to Headmistress Vivian and the next she was being caned, but to her surprise, she not only loved the perverse act, she welcomed it.
