More info needed, please, to understand why you believe you own the rights to the story.
If this were a typical US magazine editor suggesting story ideas to a freelance writer, the writer would own the rights until s/he transferred them to the magazine. In a less typical US situation, the writer would have signed a work-for-hire contract before writing a specific story (not a story based on "some ideas"), in which case the rights to the story would belong to the magazine.
