"Man will you look at this place." Fox said to Theresa.
"I can't believe that this used to be one of Harmony's richest families." Theresa said back to him.
"There is going to have to be some major cleaning done in here before this place can even begin to be remodeled." Fox said.
"Well I want to look around the rooms. I just have to see how Gwen and her bitch of a mother entertained themselves." Theresa said to him.
"Be my guess. I'm going back to the Crain hotel to see if everything is ready for opening day. We need to think of a better name for the hotels." Fox said to her.
"I know that. Hey we could name them after you." Theresa said to him.
"Sure why not." Fox replied and then got into the limo.
Theresa made her way up to the double wooden doors. She could tell by the outside that porch, the stairs, and the wood on the door had all been polished at one time or another. She opened the doors and was annoyed by how much dust and cobwebs there were. Everything had piles of dust on it. All the furniture was covered with dust as well. There were cob webs hanging from the ceiling. Theresa looked to her right to find the grand stair case that led to the room up above. The staircase was made out of old fashioned wood. By the looks of the Crain mansion from before, when Gwen, Ethan, Rebecca, and Theresa all lived there, she could tell that it wasn't Rebecca's taste for the old fashioned wood at all. She walked up the dusty stair case until she got to the top and went into the master bed room. This must have been Gwen's father's room. The first thing that she had noticed was the picture of her father and her on a fishing trip on the Hotchkiss yacht. Next to that was some old dusty files. Theresa went over there and started going through each file.
Most of the files were business related, but then Theresa came to one file marked Gwen. She opened it up and found that it was a statement on her trust fund. She read the bank statement and noticed that a million dollars had been drawn out. That left the trust fund with only two million left. Gwen wasn't even the one to have withdrawn the money from the trust fund; it was her father that had withdrawn the money. Theresa started to look at each statement until she came to the last one. There was no more money left in her bank account. Gwen didn't receive a single penny from her father after he died because he had taken it from. He had taken the money after some business adventures had gone wrong. Just like the Crain's had done. If Gwen didn't have any of that money then that meant that her and Ethan could possibly be broke. The thought of this excited Theresa more than anything else could at the time. She felt as though they would finally pay for ruining her life. How much more could she ask for then that? Maybe there was more yet to come for them. She hoped that they had experienced terrible pain these last ten years.
Ethan woke up late and noticed that Gwen was already gone. Her suitcase was packed and the kids were in their rooms quietly sleeping. He had also noticed that Rebecca and her suitcase were gone as well. Morgan saw her dad standing in the hall and went over to see him.
"Hey daddy guess where mommy is?" She said to him.
"Where is she pumpkin." Ethan asked her.
"She and granny went to a hotel in Harmony. It's new." She said to him.
"What hotel in Harmony? There are no hotels in Harmony." Ethan said to her.
"Yes there is, it's called the Crain Hotel." Morgan said back to him.
"No there is no such thing as the Crain Hotel. There's the Crain mansion but there is no Crain hotel. I'm sure of that sweetie." Ethan said to his little girl.
"Actually there is. I heard mommy talking to granny about the reservations. Man mommy is right. You are stupid." Morgan said in a teasing voice.
"Excuse me Morgan what did you say?" Ethan asked his little girl.
"Mommy told granny that your stupid and then she said some big C word." Morgan told her father.
Ethan looked at his child and then realized that Gwen did go away with her mother. He didn't understand why Gwen treated him the way she did. She was estatic when he chose her over Theresa. Now she was acting like she couldn't stand to be around him. He just didn't understand why she was like this. He knew that she went away with her mother for the weekend but he didn't believe that she went to someplace called the Crain Hotel.
Ethan picked up the paper and began thumbing through it. He came to the back page and was startled by the advertisement; it was for the new hotel in Harmony. Why was he the last to know of these things. Ethan suddenly got an idea in his head. He called the kids down stairs and asked them if they wanted to surpise mommy and granny by going to the Crain hotel. They all giggled and smiled at the thought of getting to surprise their mother; she hated surprises.
Theresa kept going through files until she had read them all. She then got up from her seat and walked down the hall until she came to Gwen's room. She walked into the room and looked around. Despite all the dust, it looked as thought Gwen had never left the room. She saw Gwen's laptop next to her dresser on the bed. She sat down on the bed and opened up the dresser drawer; inside the dresser was a floppy disk and Gwen's journal or diary, she didn't know which one. She looked at the floppy disk and decided to take a look at it. She couldn't believe that Gwen's computer actually booted up. She put the disk into the computer and loaded it up. She opened the document and was soon filled with rage and pain at what she saw.
