"Mother I have great news. I got the job. You'll never guess what the name of the company is." Gwen said to her mother.
"What is it? Tell me." Rebecca demanded of Gwen.
"The name of the store is Theresa's out of all of the names for a store Theresa just happens to be the name of the store." Gwen said to her mother.
"You don't think that Theresa could own the store do you? Rebecca asked her daughter.
"No I don't think so. This store is worth billions and the owner is suppose to be extermly nice and but very competive." Gwen said to her mother.
"Plus Theresa doesn't know the first thing about business. She never even finished college." Rebecca said to her daughter as they both laughed over the phone.
"So what have you been up to lately mother?" Gwen asked her.
"Well, I have some terrible news. Someone bought the family estate along with the Crain estate. Now we'll never be able to get any of our stuff out of the Hotchkiss estate. The owner bought everything including our old stuff." Rebecca whined.
"Don't worry mother we'll find away to get it all back. Now I have to go back to work." Gwen said to her.
Gwen got off the phone and went to the new bridal section. She noticed two dresses sitting side by side. One was her old wedding dress before she found out about Theresa and the other was Theresa's dress from when the tabloid first came out. Two women came in and looked at these dresses and were amazed by their design. They asked for help and a sale representative came right over. Within minutes the dresses were bought. Gwen couldn't believe that she saw these two designs here. She was now becoming more worried that Theresa owned the place. She was able to calm herself down when she thought of how unmotivated Theresa was when it came to work. Theresa wanted everything given to her. She tried to mooch off of Julian once and she even tried to steal child support from Ethan. Gwen manipulated Ethan into making sure that no one knew where they had been for the last ten years. There was no way they were going to run into Theresa now; she was most definately sure of it. Still Gwen couldn't help but think that it was weird to see her first wedding dress there next to that slut Theresa's. After all, Theresa did design both of the dresses herself. Maybe she didn't design the dresses maybe she just copied off of someone else. She wouldn't be surprised if she did. Gwen walked back into her new office and sat down behind her desk. She couldn't believe that it was Felix that had hired her for this executive job. Felix wasn't even above her and he was the one to hire her. Felix was a bit of an annoyance though. She could see why the boss sometimes yelled at him. Gwen was beginning to like it here already.
Theresa walked back into the Crain mansion. She walked upstairs and went directly into the Ivy's room. It looked as though she had never had left it. Her pink walls were still the same and her bed was made as though Ivy was going to be up here soon for bed. Her make-up and her hair accessories were all in there same spots. What was even surprising was the fact that all of Ivy's old wardrobe was still in her closet; even all her shoes were laid out so nicely. The Crains had left everything as it was; probably thinking that the next owner would be in awe of the Crain's and its once large empire, but Theresa wasn't. Theresa knew that this house was filled with many secrets and lies. Some of which had destroyed her along time ago; but never again. Never again would the Hotchkiss and the Crain empire be able to ruin her life as it did. She wouldn't let it happen. It had to all go; everything had to go.
"Estella, that's your name right?" Theresa asked the woman standing next to her.
"Yes my name is Estella, what can I do for you Miss." Estella asked her.
"You work for me right?" Theresa asked this time.
"Yes I do Miss. Can I do something for you?" Estella asked her.
" I want you to go into that closet over there and take every bit of clothing and accessory out of there, now." Theresa demanded Estella.
"What would you like me to do with it?" Estella asked her.
"Take it home for all I care." Theresa said back to her.
"But Miss, there is at least a 3million dollars worth of clothing in there." Estella said to her.
" Well is there some sort of clothing store that will buy from me around here." Theresa asked her.
"Well there is Grace Bennet's little clothing store in town." Estella said to her.
"Grace Bennet owns a clothing store in Harmony? I didn't even know that she still lived here." Theresa said stunned by this information that she had just received.
"No her niece Charity Murdock runs the store right now. Grace Bennet passed away about three years from a heart attack. She was only 55 years old." Estella said sadly.
"I feel so sorry that I didn't know about Grace's passing. What about the chief Sam? Does he still live in Harmony?" Theresa asked.
"No he left after Charity married. He's now married himself and he has another little girl by the name of Sarah. He named it after his first granddaughter who died when she was just born." Estella said sadly again.
"Yeah well... I'm sure he is happy now." Theresa said sadly after hearing Sarah's for the first time in ten years."
"How much do you want for the clothes?" Estella asked her.
"Sell half the clothes for $40 bucks a piece and put the other half of the clothes in storage with the other stuff for now." Theresa said to her.
"Yes mam." Estella said.
"What's your name?" Theresa asked the other servant.
"Jordan miss." Jordan replied to her.
"Jordan I want you to clear this whole room. Get rid of everything; hair accessories, make-up, bed sheets, pillows, plants, everything. Then I want this nasty wallpaper torn down. I won't be here tommorrow, but you need to continue on to every room. I want everything into storage for now this mansion is to be cleared of the Crain's forever. Instead of having the party tommorrow; I'll wait for next week." Theresa said to her then left the room.
It had been along time since he had been here. He was sure happy that his mother and his father no longer owned this place. He walked down the stairs all the way to the cellar. He had never been down here before. Security was so tight down here that it was basically impossible to even get past security without anyone knowing. Now there was no security and he was free to roam. He walked down the hallway until he came to a black door. He slowly opened the door and was startled to see what was inside of the small dark room. Inside there were control panels and about twenty different tv's . The TV's were displayed different rooms in the Crain mansion. He pushed a button and the volume came on to one of the rooms. It was the room that Theresa was in. He could hear her giving orders to the maids. He then realized that Julian and Alister had more televisions installed on the other side. What was on the other televisions was the most shocking of all. The other televisions portrayed the inside of people homes and other various places around Harmony. Grace Bennet's clothing store, the beach, and the park were just some of the places that the TV's had shown. Julian and Alister had cameras planted all over Harmony. They were spying on the good citizens of Harmony.
Fox came upstairs and tapped Theresa on the shoulder she turned around startled that he had snuck up on her so easily.
"Fox I didn't hear you come in." Theresa said to him.
"Theresa if you keep ordering the maids to get rid of everything and to tear down the wall paper then this place will never be ready for the ball next week." Fox said to her.
"How did you know that I ordered the maids to tear down this ugly pink wallpaper and how did you know that I wanted them to get rid of this crap?" Theresa asked him curiously.
"Oh I heard and saw you on the TVs downstairs." Fox said casually.
"What?" Theresa yelled at him.
"Yeah it appears that Julian and Alister had some time of cameras placed all throughout this house and Harmony. I mean you can see into anybodies home you want to Theresa. You can even hear what they are saying." Fox said to her.
"Wait are you trying to tell me that this house and the rest of Harmony are rigged?" Theresa asked him.
"Yeah that's exactly what I'm trying to say. Alister even went as far as to rig your old house the one that you use to live. Well now there is young lady living there. She's upset because she got dumped. I think that I'm going to go give her call. After all I know what she's going through." Fox smiled at Theresa.
"Fox's that horrible and besides we now have a bigger problem on our hands. We have to remove those cameras before Alistair sets us up big time." Theresa said to him.
"Don't worry I'll have the ones in the town removed as for the ones here I don't think they need to be removed. When the hotel is finally finished we can ad more cameras. We'll used the cameras for security." Fox explained to her.
"When do you think the hotel will be finished?" Theresa asked him.
"I would say anywhere from six months to about a year; but if we hire 24 hour workers and split the shifts into three eight hour shift then it shouldn't take that long." Fox said to her.
"Then get right on it." Theresa said to him.
"I will then." Fox said to her as her phone rang.
"Hello." Theresa said to her.
"Ms. Lopez-Fitzgerald, it's Felix." Felix said to her.
"Felix what could you possibly want?" Theresa said to him in an annoyed voice.
"I just wanted to tell you that I hired a new excutive for you." Felix said to her.
"So, do you want a pat on the back for doing your job." Theresa said rudely to him.
"No. I just wanted to let you know." He said to her.
"Good what is she doing now?" Theresa asked him.
"She is looking at new designs for our fall wedding dress display. I think that she really liked that wedding dress that you put up on display about a month ago. She said that she hadn't seen one like it in ages." Felix said to her.
"Are you talking about my first wedding design?" Theresa asked him.
"Yes, that's the one she seemed most caught up in." Felix said to her.
"Felix does she happen to I don't know have blonde hair?" Theresa asked him anxiously.
"Why yes she does. How did you know that?" Felix asked her.
"You hired GWEN. Felix I could kill you." Theresa screamed loudly over the phone while Fox looked at her mortified at what she had just said.
"What is it? Tell me." Rebecca demanded of Gwen.
"The name of the store is Theresa's out of all of the names for a store Theresa just happens to be the name of the store." Gwen said to her mother.
