It's Only Business

Wedding Bells

Anastasia
I am so glad today is done and Christian and I are finally married. Everything went off without a hitch and without any comments about me being selfish. Kate apparently got reamed by her parents, Ray, Jennifer, Mia, Tia, Elliott, Grace and Carrick for her comments and her expecting us to give her our venue. I was raised a lot differently than she was. She felt entitled and was spoiled by her parents. Well she finally apologized and we made room for another wedding at the venue. The party was huge now that she invited the world to her wedding. Mine and Christians was performed first. Then we shared the father daughter dance and the mother son dance had to be twice. The bouquets were thrown one after the other and the garters the same. Photographers were grouping us together and separately and in the end the whole event was perfect. We headed to the airport for our honeymoon. We took one jet and Elliott and Kate took the other one.
Christian
I am so glad that we had the weddings the same day it solved all the issues that Kate and Elliott were having finding a venue to allow the number of guests Kate had invited. Anastasia was beautifully attired and so happy when everything went off perfectly. We had everything we wanted and Kate had everything she wanted. My parents were finally thrilled three of their children are married now. Mom wants grandchildren right away. She told me and Elliott during our dance with her. We compared notes. Our grandparents also wanted them. We have a month of fun in the sun and other places. We brought some work with us as well. Barney and Anastasia have a patent that they developed and have ideas how to implement use of the items in security and toys.
Kate
I am so glad this wedding is over and we are headed to somewhere quiet and peaceful. Elliott and everyone finally made me see how horrible I was treating Anastasia and how she was being generous by sharing their venue and their day. It turned out perfect and all my guest arrived on time and were happy as well. Christian has allowed us use of his jet and paid for our honeymoon. Elliott and I gave them a gazebo for their home on the sound that they purchased. Elliotts crew and Ray are all working on getting it ready for move in after the honeymoon. I saw it and it am jealous because it is such a beautiful home with a view to die for. It has homes for staff on the grounds and they are building more. We live close to Grace and Carrick. Elliott said once we get back we can find a home that I will be happy in, after all he bought the house in his  carousing days and we have women knocking on the door to see him at all hours. The first time it happened we had just made love and were stunned by a drunk female walking through the door stripping as she walked toward our bedroom. Elliott had to stop her and hand her the clothing she tossed and I helped her along with Elliott out the front door and locked the door. We had to finally call the cops to get her to leave the property. Elliott and I both got around, I finally started answering the door myself and told the women that he was not single any longer. Two actually didn't care and asked if I would join them. I slammed the door in their faces.
Mia
The wedding was so beautiful and I was hoping it might give Ethan some ideas, he got ideas alright. I caught him with a close friend of Kates making out with her. I had my CPO drive me to our place and had everything of mine packed and I moved out the night of the weddings. I have blocked his number, he had his mother call me and I just told her that cheating is a deal breaker for me. Tia and Barney consoled me and tried to get me to go out with a friend of his. They told me I could come live in their guest house since it is empty right now and I took them up on it. They have a fortress so Ethan can't arrive unexpectedly. If he does he can't come onto the property. Play I still work on designs for them and we found it easier to get things done after the move.
Jessica Lambert
I pressed charges against Jack Hyde, when they went to arrest him they found him in bad shape. They questioned me and found that I had been in an ambulance on the way to the hospital and couldn't have caused his injuries. I guess he was branded like me but worse. He was left drugged and cuffed to the bed. No one saw anything they just had gas receipts showing he had stopped for gas as I was on my way to the hospital in an ambulance. I guess I arrived naked and not coherent. They did rape tests and I guess I was not the only rape victim of Jack Hyde's. They had victims across the country, he left Detroit after being released on bail for branding and raping at least one woman, but two others had no idea who had done this to them and now they know. My ex husband bought me a home in a better area and had my things all moved into it and hired security to assure this guy didn't come after me if he got out. My ex has been very kind and I have never been kind to him or our babies. He had a plastic surgeon take a look at the brand and he is going to have something done to try to remove it at least. The Ob was giving me some very bad news I am pregnant with Jack Hyde's babies. I have to give them up for adoption. Abortion is not an option.
Jack Lambert
I ran into Grace and told her about Jessica and what happened to her. I also told her that she was pregnant by Hyde and was wanting to give up the babies for adoption. She told me there are a lot of good people wanting babies and they would have a good home with a blank slate.
Grace
I know Jack has divorced Jessica and there is no doubt Hyde is the father of the babies. He is in the hospital under arrest for his actions here and skipping out on bail in Detroit. The plastic surgeon and urologist had to consult on his case. I would say he won't be sexually assaulting woman any time soon. He is definitely headed for jail, I am reminded of other branding and start thinking of the names. I see so much, but branding is not a common thing. So I go check on my theory. I tell the police they need to find out if there are cases like Jessica's any other time.
