Erica checked everything one last time. Her guests would likely be arriving soon, probably within the hour. Ofcourse that was assuming they came at all. All ten of these guests hated Erica, but she had promised each the possibility of one hundred million dollars. Just about anyone would set aside their hatred of a particular individual for that much money. These ten included Erica's daughter's Kendall and Bianca. Erica and Kendall had never gotten along, partly due to the fact that Kendall was concieved when Erica was raped on her 14th birthday. But Erica had been close with Bianca once. She couldn't understand how Bianca had chosen to have her own rapist's child. Erica had made it clear she would never accept that child. Miranda died shortly after being born, Bianca blamed her mother. Even five years later she couldn't forgive Erica. Erica also blamed Kendall for marrying Michael's brother Zack, likely did it to flaunt to her mother. Despite the marriage Kendall was having an affair with Ryan, trying to steal him away from his wife Greenlee. Erica and Greenlee had since been involved in a number of business disputes, tempers had flared. Erica had also been involved in disputes with Adam and his son JR. Adam had disowned JR after he murdered Marissa. Her only crime had been leaving JR for Bianca. JR was aquitted at trial, but everone knew he had bribed and threatened the jurors. Despite this Erica and Adam had briefly been lovers again. She felt he used her to try to steal her company. This affair had also ended Erica's engagement to Jackson, he couldn't accept her for the narcicist that she was. Erica also blamed David for driving the wedge between her and Bianca, she felt it was his fault Bianca carried her pregnancy to term. And there was Annie, Ryan's ex-girlfriend, mother of his child. Annie had tried to kill Erica once. And after a year in Oakhaven she was released, trying to regain custody of little Emma. These ten people, Bianca, Kendall, Zack, Ryan, Greenlee, Adam, JR, Annie, David, and Jackson, were Erica's guests tonight.
