Thank you all for the reviews and follows and favorites. Y'all are the best.

AN: I know I know I left with y'all with a cliffhanger but it wasn't a bad one. Now we are going to see what Elliot has done that has left everyone gasping and surprised. Are you all ready for the reveal? I know I am.

"Ok you all come on let me show you what I have done as we walk over to where everyone has to swipe their badge for work. I really hope you and Christian like it. This wasn't done last time you were here. It is my gift to you and your employees."

"Alright El let me see what you are so proud of. I can see your smile from over here and you wanting to strut around like a peacock."

"Keep in mind if you don't like it I can just paint the walls a bright color."

"Elliot let me see what you have done please."

"Christian cover her eyes please? No one has seen this but me."

Christian puts his hands over her eyes and guides her down the hall and stops.

"On the count of three, open your eyes. I am going to open the door first before I start counting."

"Ok just hurry up I am anxious to see what you have done."

Elliot opens the door.

"Alright Ana, one, two, three."

She opens her eyes and she can't believe what he has done. She stands there but no words are coming out of her mouth. She gasps out loud.

"Oh my lord what have you done Elliot? I can't, I don't have words to express what I am looking at. I am stunned."

"Elliot my lord this is beyond my imagination son."

"Adele would you look at? I have no words either Annie Rose."

"Elliot Trevelyan this never crossed my mind that you would do this."

"Bro, how did you come up with this?"

Elliot just stands there. He doesn't know if Ana likes what he has done or if she is speechless because she does like it.

"Ana, little lady please say something? Tell me you either like or hate it? The suspense is killing me here."

Ana looks up at him and then at the wall in front of her and then makes a complete circle very slowly looking at everything he has done. She has tears falling down her face. She swipes them away with her hands.

"Elliot if you can't tell I am blown away by this you need glasses pronto. Yes you silly man I love everything you have done. I wasn't prepared for something like this. I was well. I am not sure what I was expecting. Maybe more paintings of smiling happy babies and their families."

She walks over to him and looks up at him and smiles through her tears.

"Elliot, what you have done to these walls is beyond any words I could say. But I am going to try to bear with me."

He gives her his handkerchief and hugs her to him and rubs her back.

"Now, now it's alright. Dry those eyes and tell me what you think?"

She tries to giggle but it still comes out as crying even though she is giggling.

"Elliot this is more than I ever could have imagined. I was not expecting anything like this. I love it because it holds so many memories for me when I was younger, starting out in my daddy's basement - my first kitchen, my sidewalk sales, cooking baby food for the first lady and her baby girl, my first live cooking show and opening my first plant cutting the ribbons. My wonderful and faithful employees and their smiling faces. You not only captured my first moments but you captured some of the most important memories in my life on this wall. How can I ever thank you enough for all of this Elliot not to mention this wall here behind us."

Everyone turns and looks at that wall again. There are so many little things they missed the first time. The employees talked to Elliot about them dedicating a mural to Ana with them signing their name and writing a little something to her.

"This mural over here is dedicated to you, Anastasia Rose Steele Trevelyan. This mural is from all your employees. They love you Ana and wanted to do this for you. Why don't you read some of them?"

She is still choked up just looking at everything. She clears her throat and wipes her eyes.

"Dear Ana, you are a wonderful young lady and I am so glad that I am working for you. You gave a chance when no one else would. Boss lady I have been here since the opening and I can't begin to tell you how proud I am of everything you have done and are doing to make this a safer workplace. I am so happy you and the mister are here with us.

Ms. Ana I just have to say I love you little dear

Mrs. Dottie"

"Well my dear girl I told you you were going places with this one just like you took the bull by the horns with your very first plant in Atlanta. That's where we met and I followed you here. I told you where you go I go. My dear sweet girl you have matured and only gotten better and more gorgeous everytime I see you. You have not only made my life better but everyone else's too. I cannot thank you enough for giving me my job when no else would even look at me. Me almost sixty years old and they all thought I had one foot on the banana peel but we showed them didn't we girl.

Ms. Boss Lady I must say I love you little dear heart.

Ms. Adams."

"Well my dear sweet girl what can I say that the others haven't already said? Ms. Ana when I first saw you on that live interview about opening this plant here in Charleston. I could believe my eyes. I was preparing to send my resume to your company in Atlanta but changed it to here. I am so glad I did. I have never felt more at home in a plant than I do here. The atmosphere is family friendly and that's what makes this company prosper. Oh it's the foods that are made here but it is so much more. All of us think of you as family and we are friends just working together. I love my job and thank you from the bottom of my heart sweet girl.

Ms. Ana, you hold a special place in my heart. I love you.

Ms. Beck."

"Well now I am not going to go all lovey dovey like the rest of them did little missy. I am just going to say from the moment I met you and you showed me what I would be doing my life changed for the better. You taught me your most prized recipes for how to prepare your Cinnamon rolls and so many more appetizing baby foods. You showed me that quality is more important than quantity. You said anything worth doing is doing it right the first time. Little lady I am so glad to be working for you Ms. Ana this is my home away from home. This is not just a job, it's an amazing job.

Missy I love you little lady.

Mrs. Tooley."

"My dear sweet Annie, yes I know I am just about the only one that has the privilege to call you that. They all know I was your very first hire so I can say that. Sweet girl you were there when I was down on my luck walking the streets with nothing but my clothes on my back. Eating whatever I could find. Then here you come all dressed up and I am so embarrassed I tried to hide from you. You walked up to me and asked if I would like a job. You didn't know me from Adam's house cat but you took a chance on me. We talked and asked me to come with you. Well I took a chance and I did. Now look where I am at. I have a home, a husband and kids. Friends and a wonderful job I love. If not for you walking down that street I would probably still be out there. Ms. Ana you are the best thank you sweet girl for everything. I love you honey.

Mrs. Hardy."

"Ms. Ana I am so proud of you little lady. I can't call you a little girl any more. No siree I sure can't. I remember when your granmomma would say she won't be little for long. Well my dear girl you have become a very beautiful young woman. I have seen you grow from an infant to an adult and god rest her soul. Your sweet mama is looking down on you and watching her little girl become a woman and the woman she is proud to call her daughter."

Christian sees she is about to fall on the floor and runs up and grabs her and she slides down his body to the floor.

"Shh it's alright love, it's alright angel. I'm here."

"Paula, will you finish this one for me?"

"Yes Annie I will."

Paula clears her throat and with tears in her eyes she reads the rest of the message.

"My sweet girl I don't mean to make you cry but I just wanted you to know your dear mama is your guardian angel. She is always watching out for you. With that being said I will say this: we all love you and thank you everyday for making our lives better. There is no other company we want to work at but here for you Ms. Ana.

I love you little girl, little lady and boss lady

Mrs. Albertson."

"Oh my lord Annie Rose, are you alright sweet girl?"

"Yes granmomma I am good. I just wasn't expecting that but I am glad she wrote it. Mrs. Albertson and momma grew up together y'all."

"Annie Rose read this one?"

"Annie Rose Steele yes I know you are married and what a lovely wedding ceremony it was. Thank you again for inviting me and my old man. Yes he is old older than dirt. Anyway little miss I just want to say I am so dang proud of the woman you have become and all the wonderful things you and your handsome husband are going to be doing for our community and others here and around the world. I want to thank you everyday for giving me this awesome job. You are the bestest boss lady ever. Love you to pieces sweet girl.

Mrs. Dickerson."

She laughed at that one.

"Thank you granmomma yes I needed that and Mrs. Dickerson is one of a kind. She is a sweet lady."

They all read some more and looked at the murals again before walking back outside.

Ana walks over to Elliot and pulls him into a hug.

"I can't ever say what all this means to me Elliot. Just know that what you have done will be with me for the rest of my life. I love you brother, you mean the world to me."

"Thank you little lady and I love you too."

"Alright you all we have been walking and looking for what seems like forever. I am hungry. Let's go find some good carnival food?"

Christian looks at his watch and sees it is seven o'clock.

"Wow yeah El it is seven o'clock. I am getting kinda hungry. How about you angel? Anyone else hungry?"

"Yes I want two chili slaw dogs with the works and curly fries please."

"Ok love, come on let's find the hotdog truck."

They walked past the shooting game and the bouncy house.

"Over there son to your right."

"Yeah I see it now thank Ray."

"Do you all know what you want?"

"Yes I will order mine then everyone can order what they want."

"Sounds good granmomma."

"What can I get you sir?"

"We would like four chili slaw dogs with the works and two fries. Oh add two bottles of water on that please. They are all with us."

Everyone gave their order and now they were sitting and talking and waiting for it.

"Order up for Steele."

Elliot and Christian goes and gets all of their food and drinks.

"Oh my goodness, nothing like a carnival hotdog. Well except a Coney Island hotdog on the boardwalk."

"I have never had a Coney Island hotdog. Maybe when we go back to New York we can get me one or two?"

"Christian Trevelyan you mean as many times as you have been to New York and Jersey you have never taken the time to try one not even one from a street vendor?"

He looks at her like she is crazy.

"Well umm no I have not. For one I never had the time or took the time and two those carts are and vendors are dirty."

"Are you afraid of a little dirt Mr. I Eat Where The People Are Clean And The Place Is Sanitary?"

"Well yes yes I do. You never know how long the food sits and even if they wash their hands."

He looks at her, wiping his hands.

"Christian my Boo we are going to New York and New Jersey one day and you my love are going to eat a hotdog from a street vendor."

"Better not argue with the little lady bro. Looks like she means business."

"My Boo have you forgotten that is how my business started? On street corners in Washington, DC."

"Uh oh she got you bro."

"El shut it."

"Yes angel, I will try one for you."

"Thank you, love."

"Come on Ana let's go ride the tilt a whirl? Anybody else?"

"Boo you coming?"

"Nope, I am going to sit right here with everyone. I can see you all from here. Luke and Dav are coming with you."

"Are you guys going to ride?"

"No Annie we are not. We are just going to make sure y'all are buckled in nice and tight and right."

"Ok well looks like it is fixin to start. See you later."

They move off the ride and stand to the side watching them go around and around. Laughing and having a big time.

"You know Luke I used to love to do things like they are doing but since I became her security I act my age now."

"Yeah I know what you mean but when I am not working and there is a carnival close by I take my cousins with me. We ride anything and everything. Then when I was living in Rome and Italy there was a carnival just about anywhere you looked."

"Really you still ride those rides? I mean there is nothing wrong with them but I just figured we were too old to do that now."

"Oh come on stuck in the mud Dav. I love riding the rides. Do you think Ana and Paula think they are too old to be riding the tilt a whirl or shooting targets or any other rides they want to go on?"

"Hell no, I know those girls don't care about their age. Look at them as they come around to us. They are smiling and their eyes are shining and their faces are glowing. You wouldn't think just to look at her that she is a trillionaire many times over. They are having a ball. Did you know Ana tried to get Chris to ride the bumper cars but he flat out refused and then demanded that Ana not ride. Well that didn't go over too well. He apologized and asked her not to so she didn't but I know she wanted to."

"Yeah man I know she did. She is a little dare devil and go getter. At least I can say one thing. She got him out of his shell he was stuck in for so long. That Bitch and his no-good-for-nothing-bitch -of-a-supposed-to-be-mother almost killed him. Jason and I prayed everyday that she would be back to help him. I think he did too. I believe he finally realized that Ana was going to be there for him no matter how he treated her when they were younger"

"Yeah that fool thought he knew it all. Yeah I meant to call Christian a fool that's what he was. Jason said so himself. But Ana showed him the real world. He didn't know what to do when she showed up at his clinical museum, that's what she called it. He knew she was coming but not as soon as she showed up.

"Yes I know all about their younger days. Ray told me one night. Ana said he could and that she couldn't do it right now. He was such a dick to her the way he treated her. Yeah man I know it was the drugs and the pussy but my god couldn't he see the pain she was going through?"

"I'll answer that myself."

They both jumped and looked behind them and there he stood listening to them.

"As I said I will answer that myself. At the time I didn't know much about what was going on with me. All I knew was I was getting laid by an older woman. I can blame it on hormones and yes I was a virgin. It was good until she started beating me with whips and belts. Yes I was getting beat everytime my so-called-mother would tell the bitch that I talked to Ana or Ray. Or that I was fighting again. That bitch beat me so bad at times I could barely walk. I did make it home and to my room but just barely before I passed out."

"I am still damn curious why didn't you say anything? Even though that bitch filled your head with your parents won't believe you bullshit. You still had Ray and your grandparents to talk to? Hell for that matter you had Ana."

"Chris, you don't have to tell us. It's alright we know you were scared fifteen, sixteen years old and you didn't want Annie hurt. So you did what you thought was right and ended your friendship with her. But let me tell you I saw that girl a week later when she and Ray came down to see granmomma. She was drawn into herself. She wouldn't talk to me or anyone. She had lost weight. She'd sit and cry when she didn't think she saw anyone watching her."

"Please stop. I know I hurt her but I had no idea it was that bad. I loved her when we were kids and I loved her when I told her we couldn't be friends anymore. God I love her so much now it hurts me to know I put her through all that."

"I am going to tell you both something and it goes no further alright? Ana knows but no one else. I never even told Ray about this. You remember when we were at her house and we walked down to her yacht?"

"Yes I remember that."

"Well that night I laid out everything to her. I told her why we had to stop being friends because the bitch gave me a warning that if I didn't stop talking and being friends with Ana she would cry rape and say I had been doing that to her. She said I would go to prison and no one would believe me. Fuck guys I was scared shitless and I didn't want to go to prison and I didn't want Ana hurt."

"I walked over to her house and told her we weren't friends any longer. I had to walk away and not look back. In school I would look at her when she wasn't looking at me. I hated myself for the way I was treating her. That was the day that I put my foot down and told the bitch no more beatings. I wanted to be a dom. Hell, I was only seventeen at the time. There was no more sex and pain from her. That's when she trained me to be a dom. I beat her and sometimes I didn't stop when she would say her safe words, hell she never stopped when I said them."

"Chris that's enough we have heard more than we wanted to."

"No, I need to get this off my chest once and for all."

"No love you don't I have heard all of it and more."

Hell, all three jump.

"Where the hell did y'all come from? The last time I looked you both were still on the ride."

"We walked around here with Carter and Wayne. Y'all were so engrossed in your conversation that y'all didn't hear us."

"Well I am glad they were with y'all."

Come on Boo let's go get something to drink. I'm thirsty."

"Umm how much of that did you hear?"

"Enough that you don't need to say more. I know what you were going to say. The bitch told me word for word. So this subject is closed for now. How did this start anyway? I thought you would be waiting on us over there with everyone else."

"Well um he walked up on us talking and one thing led to another until you stopped it just now."

"Ok let's go! I want another funnel cake and then we need to make sure all the items are set up at the tables. This is going to be so much fun. If this works out like I hope it does, we will be doing this for the concerts and Carnivals both here and in Italy. I'm thinking about doing things like this for charities when we get everything up and running."

They walk over and get more funnel cakes and go find their family.

"Where in the world did you all go? We were starting to worry."

"Oh granmomma we were alright. We were all talking and then decided to go find the funnel cake truck again. Didn't mean to make you worry."

"That's ok but next time I am keeping one of them walkie talkie thingies you hear Jason Taylor, Luke Sawyer and Bradley Davidson?"

"Yes ma'am we hear you loud and clear."

"Good, good now what time are we going up front?"

"We can head up that way now. I want to make sure they have everything set up right. I think this is going to be so much fun. I was telling Boo and everyone if this works out like I want it to we will be doing this again and again."

"Well we will keep our fingers crossed that it will be fun for everyone."

"Ana, Chris are y'all going to ride or walk on up?"

"We are going to walk, Dav."

"Carter, you and Luke walk with them. I will have Pete and Louise meet y'all halfway there."

"Ten four see you all up front."

"Don't get lost again young lady?"

"Yes ma'am I won't but I wasn't lost before."

"Don't sass me young lady."

"I love you granmomma I am sorry."

"That's more like Annie Rose. I love you too."

"Come on, El, walk with us."

"Alright."

They all walk toward the front of the plant where everything is set up to play the games for prizes.

"Ana love do we have enough prizes for everyone? There sure are a lot of people here."

"Boo we have plenty. The big prizes are going to be given on cards so they can go and pick up their own prize at the stores. I just hope everyone enjoys the way I am doing this. From what I have seen it looks like fun. All they have to do is follow the directions we give. The ones not winning the raffle will receive a consolation prize."

"Alright love, let's do this and go home. I want to feast on your delectable body tonight."

"Oh my darlin why do you have to say things like that to me when you know there is nothing you nor I can do?"

She says biting her bottom lip.

"Stop that Mrs. Trevelyan or I will be tempted to carry you off to your new office and have my way with you on everything.. Starting with your desk."

"Now Christian you started it but we have to stop. Maybe one day my office and the next yours."

"I love you Ana so damn much. Come on love."

"There y'all are. Come on up here both of you. Ana you can make the announcement telling everyone that the raffle will be starting in thirty minutes. You can explain to them how the prizes are going to be won."

"Ok I got this Jason thank you."

"Yes ma'am my dear."

Ana takes the microphone and does a test check on it. They have some of their guys stationed all over the grounds. If they can hear her they will radio back to Jason all is a go.

"Ana, it's all yours."

"Good evening test one, two, test one, two."

Jason gets word back from all the guys that the testing was good.

"All good Ana."

He gives her a thumbs up.

"Good evening everyone and welcome to the Opening Day Weekend Raffle. I hope you all had a great time, ate plenty of food, played games, and rode rides. I know we did. It is good to see all of you and your families here. I am excited to be opening Monday morning. I hope you all are as well?"

They all yell hell yeah we are.

"Well I believe that answers my question. Now are y'all ready to win some prizes and have fun?"

"Yes Ms. Ana we are. I just want to say on behalf of all of us. Yes ma'am they appointed me to do this."

"Mrs. Dickerson, please come up here with me for a moment?" Guys help her up the steps please."

Mrs. Dickerson is standing beside Ana.

"As I was saying my dear on behalf of all of us, we could not be more happier than a pig in mud for opening day. We have all looked forward to this day for months. Now it is a reality and we are all going back to work. Ms. Ana you are a bright star in all of our lives. Without you we would be making food at Waffle Houses, IHop and lord knows where else. But you saw a diamond in the ruff in all of us and gave us a job. You truly are a an angel as Mr. Christian says you are his angel. Well let me tell you sweet girl you are mine and everyone's angel. Now with that said. Let's get this party started."

She hugs Ana and whispers something in her ear and wipes her tears.

The guys help Mrs. Dickerson back down the steps to her husband.

"Oh my goodness I don't know what to say except thank you and you all took a chance on a twenty two year girl that was learning the ropes same as yourselves. We have made this plant into the number one best business in South Carolina for the last five years. Yes go ahead and clap, don't just clap for me, clap for yourselves. Because without you all this would not have been possible. You all are the backbone of this great plant. I just gave you all the recipes and you all ran with them. I cannot thank you all enough for everything you have done for this company."

She is in tears and Christian walks up to her and wipes her face with his handkerchief. "Shh love it's alright."

"Ms. Ana, may I come up there for a moment?"

"Yes Mrs. Adams you can. Guys help her please."

She walks up the steps with Luke and Jason.

Ana hugs her.

"Ms. Ana and Mr. Christian I just want to say on behalf of all of us that we are so glad that you both are better and doing well. I was so happy to see you both today and your family. I can't wait to start to work Monday morning and I have to say I love the new kitchen and appliances Mr. Elliot put in for us. We all appreciated him asking us what we needed and what needed to be updated. He is truly a gem. Ms. Paula don't let him get away."

"One more thing and I will let you have your microphone back sweet girl. We saw the murals on the wall and what Mr. Elliot did when we all wrote something to you. Every word we wrote is the god's honest truth. We love you Ms. Ana and we praise you for giving us not only a very good job but new friends and a better way to live."

"Oh my goodness thank you Mrs. Adams. You all are truly the ones that deserve the thanks. As I said, without you all this company would not be what it is today."

They hug again and the guys help her back down to her husband.

"Alright everyone let's get this party going."

"Christian will you explain what we are doing with the raffle ticket winners?" She says still trying not to cry.

"Of course angel. Stay with me."

"As you all know we are having a huge raffle so get your tickets out and listen closely for your numbers to be called. When you win, come up to the table that has the same color as your ticket. You will give your ticket to the person that is standing in front of it and they will tell you what you have to do. I am sure when you all see how Ana has everything set up you will know what you have to do, I don't doubt everybody has seen these games on social media and other places. With that said, let the fun begin."

They have a round cage like for bingo. They spin the cage and gran and granmomma are the ones that call out the winning numbers.

"Are we all ready to win some awesome prizes?"

They all hear yes, yes, yes.

"Alright Jason spin that cage."

Once it stops, gran reaches her hand in and grabs a purple ticket.

"Alright all of you lucky people the ticket is purple and here is the lucky number seven thousand twenty one."

They all hear that's mine.

"Come on up son and and go over to the purple canopy and Carter will explain what you have to do for your prize."

"Let me see your winning ticket please?"

The young boy gives him his ticket.

"What is your name?"

"My name is Trey."

Alright Trey all you have to do is throw this ring on any bottle you see and I will pick it up and show you the winning number on the bottom. There are two sets of buckets each with numbers on them and they are covered with paper. You just stick your hand through the paper and pull out your prize. You either choose the one on the right or the one on the left with your number on it. You have three rings good luck. Got it young man?"

"Yes sir."

Carter gives him three rings. He throws the first one and it lands on the bottle. He walks over and brings the bottle back and shows Trey that it is a five.

"Alright Trey you have a five and two choices one on the right and one on the left."

He walks over to the left side and punches a hole in the number five bucket. He pulls out a brand new IPhone and ITunes card with an amount of two hundred dollars on it.

"Oh wow I needed a new phone and this is the newest one on the market."

"That was fun, let's do it again."

Jason spins the cage and granmomma reaches in and grabs a gray ticket.

"Alright everyone the lucky ticket holder has a gray ticket and the number and the number is five forty three."

They all hear screaming from the back.

"I'm coming, hold on, I'm all the way in the back."

Everyone laughs.

"Take your time hun we don't want anyone to get hurt."

"Come on up young lady and go over to the gray canopy and Paula will explain what you have to do for your prize."

She walks over to Paula.

"Hey there hun what's your name?"

"My name is Shelly."

"Aright have you ever seen this on social media?"

"Yes ma'am I sure have."

"There are six amounts showing all you have to do is roll this bottle down and where it stops that will be your prize. Are you ready and you understand what you have to do?"

"Yes ma'am I do."

"Good luck hun."

Shelly looks at all the prizes and she has her eye on the biggest one. She gives the bottle a little push and closes her eyes.

"Oh my goodness would you look at that Shelly. Open your eyes hun."

She opens her eyes and sees her bottle stopped in front of the biggest prize Five thousand dollars.

"I will give you a master card with that amount on it. We do not want anyone walking around with cash on them."

"Thank you, yes I would not want that either."

Paula hands her a mastercard with the five thousand dollars on it.

"Now I can buy my school books for college. Ms. Ana is the best."

"Yes hun she is and congratulations."

They continue back and forth like this for a few hours then they start getting down to the final tickets.

"Now here is the next winning ticket. It is orange and the number is five five zero zero. Come on up."

"Lands sake I won I won."

"Mrs. Dickerson walk on over to Luke. He is at the orange canopy dear."

"Mrs. Dickerson, how are you tonight ma'am?"

"I am right as rain young man."

"Are you ready to win a big prize?"

"You better believe it."

"All you have to do is roll the dice and the number it lands on will be your prize. Now you have two choices on either side of the table. You can choose the right side or the left side with your number on it. The buckets are covered in paper. All you have to do is punch it and reach in and pull out your prize. Are you ready ma'am?"

"Yes I am."

He hands her the dice and she rolls it and lands on a six.

"Mrs. Dickerson you got the number six. Choose the one you want."

She walks down the left side of the table to the bucket with the six on it and punches a hole in it and pulls a Mastercard with an amount of fifteen thousand dollars on it.

"Oh my goodness gracious is this for real young man?"

"Yes ma'am it is congratulations Mrs. Dickerson."

"Ms. Ana you bring yourself over here right now young lady."

Ana looks at Christian and they walk over to her.

"Yes ma'am."

"Young lady, do you realize this card has fifteen thousand dollars on it?" She whispers to Ana.

"Yes ma'am I sure do. I set it up like that. Enjoy it my dear."

She grabs Ana and Christian and squeezes them tight.

"Thank you both so much. This is going toward our grandson's college tuition."

She walks off and Ana and Christian go back over to their family.

"Here we go again. The ticket color is blue and the winning number is three thousand. Come on up Ms. Izzy, I see you over there waving that ticket."

"Lordy mercy I have never won a thing in my life."

"Well sweet lady, today is your day. Go on over there to the blue canopy and see Gail. She will tell you what you have to do."

Ms. Izzy struts over to Gail.

"How are you tonight Ms. Izzy?"

"I am doing very well and you Gail?"

"I am doing well, thank you. Are you ready to win a big prize dear lady?"

"You bet your bottom dollar I am dear."

"Now all you have to do is flip this bottle and make sure it is standing up. Everytime you it stays up you win a prize. Are you ready?"

"Oh lordy I remember doing this when I was younger we would play games at home. Yeah I am ready."

Gail gives her a bottle and she flips it. It stands up. She does it again and again and the fourth time it falls.

"Wow Ms. Izzy you have won three prizes. There are ten buckets covered with paper. All you have to do is punch through three of them to receive your prizes."

Ms. Izzy walks around the table and looks at the buckets like she can see inside them.

She punches the red paper on the first bucket and pulls out a card that says washer and dryer and a year's supply of laundry products.

She punches the green paper on the third bucket and pulls out a card for an eighty inch tv.

She punches the blue paper on the tenth bucket and pulls out a card that says new kitchen makeover.

"Ms. Izzy you hit a goldmine my dear friend."

Ana hugs her tight.

"Don't cry, all this is for you. All you have to do is go to any appliance store and pick out what you want. Don't worry about the price you won and you pick what you want. The same with your tv and oh my goodness you are getting a new kitchen makeover with everything. All you have to do is call my P.A. and she will set up an appointment for your kitchen makeover. Someone will come out and you tell them what you want. Don't worry about the amount."

"Ms. Ana you have to set a price for the kitchen makeover."

"I trust you Ms. Izzy now go find that husband of yours and show him what you won."

She hugs Ana one more time and walks over to her husband smiling.

"Well that was a lot of prizes. Let's see if we can do that again. The ticket is yellow and it is a special ticket. The winning number is thirty two."

"Oh that's me."

"Come on up sir. Just walk over to the yellow canopy where Jason is standing and give him your ticket."

He walks over to Jason.

"Hello, Matt, how are you doing?"

"Doing good Jason and you?"

"I am doing good, thank you."

"Nice to see you young man. Now all you have to do is pull one of those strings on the table and your prize will come up as you pull it. Are you ready?"

"Yes sir."

He looks at the strings and decides to pull the middle one. He pulls and pulls and finally his prize is on the table. Jason walks over and brings the card to Matt.

"Oh my goodness I won a trip to Disneyland. Oh my lord my kids are going to love this. Thank you Ms. Ana." He yells at her.

She walks over to him.

"You are welcome Matt and you can take it anytime you want to there is no time limit on it and everything is paid for. All I need for you to do is get in touch with my P.A. and she will make the reservations for you and your family. You will be flying in my private jet to California and back. All expenses are paid for five nights and five days. Hope you all have a great time."

"Now I just have to talk to Elliot about time off."

"I am sure he can arrange it for you. You all have been working your butts off here. I think you deserve a vacation. Well all of you do."

They did more prizes and boy there were nice ones. From trips to the Bahamas, Hawaii and Mexico. More household items and jewelry to phones and laptops.

"Ana I need you and Christian front and center for the Grand Prize please."

"Yes gran we are coming."

"Well folks I hope you all have had a great time. We are down to the Grand Prize. Now for those of you that didn't win in the raffle all you have to do is give your ticket to the guys as you are walking out and they will give you your prize. Yes, everyone will receive a prize."

"Now ladies and gentlemen we have one golden ticket and there is someone holding it. There is no number on it. Will the person holding the gold ticket come up here with us please?"

They look around and don't see anyone. They hear crying and look down and see Mrs. Beck.

"Mrs. Beck, do you have the winning gold ticket my dear?"

"Yes Ms. Ana I do. I am shocked that I have it. Happy that I do but what do I need to do with it?"

"All you have to do is tell us where in the world you would like to take seven days all expense paid vacation in our private jet and we will make arrangements when you are ready to go."

"Do I have to decide right now?"

"No ma'am you do not. You think about it and talk it over with your husband and let us know. We will take care of everything for you. Congratulations sweet friend."

She hugs Ana and Christian and he walks her back down and over to her husband.

"Oh my lord, that was so much fun and I believe everyone had a great time. I know I did. How about you, my love?"

"I had a great time angel. Are you ready to slip out of here and go home?"

"Yes I am, I just need to make sure everything is taken care of first. Let's go and talk to Mr. and Mrs. Nightingly and thank them again for doing this for us."

"Luke take us over the Nightingly's camper please?"

"Yes sir,"

They ride with Luke over the grounds to the Nightingly's and see them sitting outside.

"Good evening I hope you all had as much fun as we did today?"

"Lordy yes Ms. Ana we surely did and all the family really enjoyed everything."

"I hope some of you and your employees won tonight?"

"Yes, a few of them did. They won phones, laptops, household items and a few trips. You two are very generous I must say. Not too many people would share their wealth like you have done."

"I know and we want to give back. Now are you all set for the night?"

"Yes ma'am we will be pulling out before dark tomorrow evening. Thank you for everything you have done for us. We really have enjoyed our time here."

"I am glad to hear that. We will be in touch with you all when we are ready for the concert. We would like for you all to come back and provide the games, food and rides for everyone."

"Thank you both so much. Just let us know when and we will make sure we will be here."

"Sounds good to us. Well goodnight we are going home. We have security around so no one will bother you all."

Thank you, yes I have seen them goodnight."

They ride back over to where their family is waiting for them and they all get in side by sides and ride to the front.

"Are we ready to go home y'all? I know I am. I am tired."

"Yes Annie Rose I am tired too, let's go sugar lamb."

They all get to the front gate and are stopped by everyone wanting to thank them again and again and for the ones that got the consolation prizes.

"All we want to say is thank you both for everything and good night."

"Good night all, we will see you Monday morning at eight o'clock. There will be lunch served for everyone in the front picnic area."

They all walk off to their cars. Ana and Christian ride back to their house with Gail and Jason.

"Goodnight y'all we are going to call it a night and go to bed. Thank you both for everything you have done. We appreciate you both so much and love you."

"We love you two as well."

"Tell everyone we are sleeping in, in the morning. It will be a lazy Sunday."

"Not a problem I will get word to them all good night you two."

Jason opens Ana's door and Christian is waiting for her. He takes her hand and helps her out of the car.

They wave bye to Jason and Gail.

"Come on sleepy head let's get you to bed angel."

"Yes, bed sounds really nice. Boo will you rub my feet for me please?"

"Yes my sweet girl I sure will. Let's brush our teeth and do our bathroom thing. Then I will undress you and put you in bed. I will rub your feet and your gorgeous legs."

He picks her up and takes her to their bed and stands her up taking her clothes off.

"Angel, you are the most gorgeous and sexiest woman I have ever seen. I love you Ana so much."

"I love you, my beautiful sweet man."

He lays her down on the bed and walks back into the bathroom to get some lotion to rub on her feet and legs. He walks back in the bedroom and sees his angel has fallen asleep.

"Well I just rub my angel's feet and legs and cuddle with her. I know she is tired and so am I. But there is always morning time." He says.

He finishes his rubbing Ana with lotion and climbs in the bed with her wrapping his arms and legs around her.

"I love you my darlin sweet wife goodnight."

He kisses her head and holds her to him.

Well that is all for now. Sorry it is so late but I am trying to get back in the groove with it all. Thank you for reading and reviewing. You all are the best.

I hope you all enjoyed the open house and fun and games not to mention the raffle. Just a fun chapter we all need to laugh once in a while.

Thank you

Linda ( Octobermist11)
