She paced back and forth becoming angrier by the second. All she wanted to do was to go back and kill that bitch Gwen. Fox came up to her and blocked her from pacing.
"Maybe it's not Gwen I mean Felix didn't say that it was Gwen." Fox said to her.
"He didn't have to say that it was Gwen I know by the reaction that that bitch got from the dress that was on display. You know what I'm not going to let her ruin this for me. I'm going to put a stop to her once and for all." Theresa said to him.
"Theresa let me talk to Felix." Fox said to her.
"What's that going to do? It's not going to get rid of that stupid stuck up bitch." Theresa said to him.
"Maybe it's not and you're just misunderstanding the situation." Fox said to her.
Theresa reluctantly handed him the phone he took it from her and began to speak to Fox.
"Felix, it's me Fox Crain. Tell me about this new excutive that you hired." Fox asked him.
"Well she's from that family that is getting the charity from Ms. Lopez-Fitzgerald." Felix said to him.
"Well Theresa problem solved. She's the lady who's going to get the charity money from you. What would Gwen need with charity money anyways; she's rich." Fox said to her.
"No she's not her insipid father lost all of his money. That's why we got that house for so cheap." Theresa yelled at him.
"The paper never said whether or not she lost her inheritance. She could have made out with it like my aunt Sheridan did." Fox said to her.
"Well I guess you're right but I still think it could be her." Theresa said to him.
"I'll make a deal with you. Once we fix the mansions up for hotels I'll leave for NY and see who the new executive is. If it turns out that that Felix hired her, I'll just quietly dispose of her and Felix." He said to her with a smile.
"Fine. Tell Felix that he better hope that he didn't hire Gwen I'm going upstairs to see how the tearing of Ivy's room is coming." Theresa said to him before leaving.
"Felix let me talk to the new executive right now." Fox demanded of Felix.
"Yes sir." Felix said to him.
"Hello. I'm Gwen Winthrope." Gwen said over the phone.
Gwen wasn't able to get a response because as soon as Fox heard her voice and her name he hung up the phone immediately. Who couldn't believe that after ten years of having to watch Theresa rebuild herself up, her past was going to come back and bring back down. He didn't want to see her revert back to her old ways of waiting for Ethan to give her the time of day because he was too busy with Gwen. He had to watch as Gwen and Ethan both blamed and even ridiculed her for the death of their baby girl Sara. At that time it didn't matter to Theresa because she held onto this hope that Ethan would still come back to her. She held on to this until the very last moment when she finally realized that Ethan was never going to come back to her. He was leading her on like he always did. He didn't care about her at all, he only let her think that there was a chance because he liked having her on the side for those just incase times. Well this time it wasn't going to happen that way. He was going to take care of Ethan and Gwen once and for all. It was the only way he knew how to repay Theresa for the kindness that he had shown her over the past ten years.
"Well, what did he say?" Theresa asked him in a desperate voice.
"Don't worry he didn't hire Gwen. So would you like me to still go back?" Fox asked her.
"Yes, I want to be on the safe side." Theresa said to him.
"Okay then I'll go. What do you want to do now?" Fox asked her.
"Let's take a trip into Harmony. I want to visit Charity." Theresa said to him.
"Okay then." Fox said happy to get out of that disaterous situation.
They drove down the path and Theresa was finally back to normal. She began talking and there was now a smile appearing on her face. When the limo reached Grace's little shop Theresa quickly hopped out of the limo and ran inside. Charity was at the register ringing up customers. Charity looked up and saw Theresa and couldn't believe that she had come back to Harmony. She looked very different since the last time I saw her Charity thought.
"Theresa wow! It's been a long time since I seen you. How have you been? Did you hear about aunt Grace?" Charity said in a sad voice.
"Yes I did and I am so sorry for you. I hear that you are now married." Theresa said to her.
"Yes I did. His name is Alex Murdock, he's a prominent realastate agent in Harmony. He's makes really good money. We were thinking about moving four years ago but aunt Grace got really sick and then a year later she passed away. I wanted to stay and run the store and keep her legacy alive. In a way I wish that I could leave but I don't want to give this store up to anybody that's not family." Charity said to her.
"What about Kay why doesn't she take over for you? It's not like she's married." Theresa asked her.
"As you know Kay and I don't really get along. She said that she didn't want anything to do with this store; plus her modeling career is doing quite well. She's on a photo shoot over in Europe. It's a shame that she didn't even come to her mother's own funeral. She hadn't talked to Aunt Grace or Uncle Sam since you left." Charity said again.
"Um... so when did the Russell's leave Harmony?" Theresa asked Charity hoping to avoid the whole Kay situation.
"About five years ago. Mrs. Russell still comes hear once a month to do fill in work for the hospital. Ever since she left Harmony and exposed Liz her marriage to T.C has been stronger than ever. She also had another girl; her name is Mary Lynne Russell. Whitney and Simone don't visit their parents or their new sister anymore. In fact, they've both only seen Mary once; and that was when she was first born." Charity said to her.
"Listen Charity I was wondering if you have heard from Gwen and Ethan lately. I'm not still after him I was just wondering if you have." Theresa said to Charity.
"No I haven't; just like you they disappeared off the face of the planet, well that is until now." Charity said to her.
"I was just wondering that's all." Theresa said to her.
"Would you like to join me for lunch?" Charity asked Theresa.
"Actually I half to get back to the Crain mansion." Theresa said to her.
"Why?" Charity questioned.
"I now own it and we're getting ready for a big ball and then we're going to be transforming the mansion into a beautiful huge hotel." Theresa said to her.
"Wow! I guess you have been busy since you left." Charity said to her.
"I'm governor of NY, I own a multibillion dollar fashion company, and I am now going to try my luck in the hotel business." Theresa said proudly.
"Wow you have been busy. How's Miguel?" Charity asked her quite casually.
"He's doing fine. He's studying at Berkley I think he's going to be a doctor." Theresa said to her.
"Um Theresa the maids have finished with Ivy's room and I called a nearby storage area in Harmony they're coming to pick-up the items." Fox told her.
"Charity how would you be interested in buying half of Ivy Crain's wardrobe?" Theresa asked her.
"I would love to. How much?" Charity asked her.
"Forty dollars an outfit." Theresa said to her.
"Yeah sure that's cheap." Charity said.
"Well I'm glad that you decided to buy half the wardrobe. Well I got to go now Charity maybe I'll see you before I go back to NY." Theresa said while waving goodbye and then proceeding into the limo.
(3 ½ months later.)
"I can't believe that we're finally done with the Crane mansion. This place looks absolutely fabulous." Theresa said to the architect.
"We added five more stories and 110 rooms just like you asked. That brings the total to 365 rooms. I also included the other original rooms into the total room figure." The architect said.
"Fox were you able to hire new staff members?" Theresa asked Fox.
"Yes I did. The hotel is ready to be opened on time just like you requested. We can open next week." Fox said to her.
"Perfect. Now on to the most important question, is the other building ready yet or not?" Theresa asked him.
"Yes it is. We can start moving stuff right away." Fox told her.
"Perfect they'll never know what hit them until it's too late." Theresa said while Fox smiled at her comment.
Gwen and Ethan had finally moved out of the Sheridan hotel and into a nice little apartment in upper Manhattan. They both had good jobs and money was flowing in faster than they could have possibly imagined. Gwen could finally afford clothing for her daughters and Ethan worked so late that Gwen hardly ever saw him. Rebecca was complaining about how she had to work when Ethan and Gwen were making good money between each other. Gwen had to remind her mother that they wouldn't always have this luxary once she got her divorce from Ethan. Gwen could tell bagging grocerries at Shoprite was really starting to stress her mother out. She decided that it was time for her mother and her to get away from Ethan and the kids. It had just so happened that Gwen had finally found the perfect opportunity to do this. On the front page of the NY Times there was a report about how the Crain Hotel would finally be opening. Gwen and Rebecca hadn't been there since Julian kicked her mother out. Well Julian doesn't own the mansion anymore and I bet mother would love to go there for a while. I wonder what it looks like now. From the outside it looks much bigger and more alive. Gwen thought to herself. She knew that her mother was totally heartbroken when she gotten kicked out of the Crain mansion. It was her mother's goal to become a Crain. Who wouldn't want to be a Crain? They were at one time one of the most powerful families in the world alongside the Hotchkiss family. One day the Hotchkiss name would regain all of it's power again. Gwen would see to it. This job was just one step in many to come. Gwen knew that the only way of regaining her rich status was to get rid of Ethan and to get rid of him fast. Winthrope was a name of really old wealth. Once Ivy's father died their family wealth died with it. Although her plan to make Ethan a Crain failed, at least Theresa didn't get him. She was probably off somewhere with that little brat of hers collecting food stamps just to get by. Ethan could be dumb sometimes; she couldn't believe that he had actually listened to her when it came to child support for little Ethan. He played into her hands just like she had hoped for. Now there was no support coming to little Ethan from his father. Life was good for Gwen and it was only bound to get better. She knew in her heart that it was only going to get better. After all, she was a Hotchkiss to the core and a Hotchkiss got everything that they wanted or they wouldn't be rich.
"Hello, this is Gwen Hotchkiss and I would like to make a reservation at your new hotel." Gwen said over the phone to the hotel clerk.
"Well it looks like were book for opening day and the week to follow but let me see if there is anything available anyways." The clerk said to her.
Gwen wait impatiently for the clerk to come back on the phone. During the time she had to listen to Latin music over the phone. What's with this Latin music? Gwen thought to herself. She was surprised to here Latin music because she had never heard it played while waiting on the phone. It reminded her of Theresa. She had to stop thinking about Theresa every time she saw a similar wedding dress or heard Latin music. Theresa was finally gone from her life and that's all that mattered to her; nothing else.
"Ms. Hotchkiss I have two rooms opened up in the royal suites hallway. It is on the tenth story. That's all I have after that." The clerk said to her.
"Fine I'll take it. How much?" Gwen asked the clerk.
"400 a night." She replied.
"Book me for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday." Gwen said to her.
"How will you be paying for your stay?" The clerk asked Gwen.
"Charge it to my visa card." Gwen said to her.
"That'll be 1400 dollars." The clerk said.
"That's fine." Gwen said then hung-up the phone and went back to work.
"Make reservation at the new Crain hotel and make sure that Theresa' opening doesn't survive past the night." Alistair said to Julian.
"Yes, father. I'm on it." Julian replied to Alistair.
"Maybe it's not Gwen I mean Felix didn't say that it was Gwen." Fox said to her.
"He didn't have to say that it was Gwen I know by the reaction that that bitch got from the dress that was on display. You know what I'm not going to let her ruin this for me. I'm going to put a stop to her once and for all." Theresa said to him.
