Heartbreak Hotel

Steele Trio

Raymond
I watch as my daughters are selling off their first dance, they don't know that I have arrived. So I bid on both of them, I just don't let them know that I was the bidder until I won both of them. Twenty thousand dollars is very little to donate to the charities that this event supports. I also know that all GEH employees were sent invitations to it. All types of various clothing is being worn from high end to whatever nice clothing looks appropriate for the event. Both my daughters are wearing both types of attire. Ariana really has went overboard on the high end and typical Anastasia she is wearing something she has owned for years just jazzed it up a bit. I take both my girls from the stage and I hear rumblings and my girls smile and make their way to me and we hug and I kiss their cheeks and we go to the dance floor and take our places on the dance floor and get ready to dance our trio dance. We twirl, whirl, spin and then bow to the audience as we go sit at their table. I grab an extra seat and sit between them as they introduce me to co workers. They weren't sitting together when I arrived, but they are now. Now everyone knows that they are my identical twin daughters.

Christian
Elliott and I were bid on by Mia's friends and they won. Stella Lincoln came with a guy from the mail room. But I knew she forced the poor sap to bring her. I was thankful for the short song. I couldn't keep her from grabbing my butt. I swear it is black blue from her grabbing me so hard. Security came to my rescue. Elliott had the same problem with another of Mia's friends she arrived with the janitor. Both spent quite a sum for our first dance, but they thought it would become more but sadly for them it didn't. I think Belinda and Mia had to escape their own bidders as well. Some people have no boundaries they won't cross and security had to separate them from the people they won the first dances from and a few were asked to go home. Too bad they didn't work for me I could have fired them.

Eamon
I was able to get Enid and our children into this gala. We came as guests of employees. We all sat at the same table and watched and waited for our time to send Ethan and Kate off to meet the Grey siblings. We want the best for them and the Grey brothers and sister are the best. Of course we are dressed in high end attire but we noticed that a lot aren't.

Enid
I don't want to be here at all. I argued with all three of them about coming to this party because Eamon wants to marry our children to the Grey siblings. He figured he could get them together at this party. So far it's not working. So he sent them over to introduce themselves to the Grey family. I think they have had enough of people trying to make friends with them just to get a date with their children. One has a date.

Ray
We go meet Grace and Carrick Grey and I write out my check for the auctions and add more money to the amount to benefit the charities. Ariana has after party plans and I don't like the sound of that and tell her to be safe. She is an adult but she takes too much risks. Anastasia is going home and I am going to stay at her apartment for the night. After Jose told me about the lurker at Ariana's building I decided to check it out before Ariana gets hurt by him. I am going to find out who he is and then give him an incentive to leave Ariana alone. Anastasia doesn't have the same problems with guys like these. She sets the ground rules up front.

Carrick
Mr Steele came and introduced himself and his daughters Ariana and Anastasia to us and thanked us for the invitations and everything else and he is thrilled to donate to the charities we are involved in. He was a very generous and even though he had a military look about him he also had an air of aristocracy. Both young ladies emanated both those traits as well. But once you knew their names you knew the difference in their personalities. Ariana was flirtatious to the extreme and Anastasia was just friendly but not overly so.

Grace
The Steele's were very pleasant, but Ariana is a wild card with her outrageous flirting. It sends the wrong signals the way she does it. Anastasia is friendly and she knows her sister is going overboard but ignores it. I like Ray and Anastasia but Ariana worries me. Roz said the same thing about her. Gwen agreed.

Mia
I went to the restroom and after I left it I was asked to dance by Ethan Kavanagh. I don't know how he is here at all, because no Kavanagh works for GEH. I want to find out how he got into the party, so I can find out how he was able to get into this party.

Ethan
I finally found my way to Mia and she agreed to dance with me. She was shocked to see a Kavanagh at the party because she knew Nobel worked at GEH. I finally told her we were invited by employees that worked at GEH. Of course I didn't tell her we paid them to allow us to be invited, well dad paid them and very well. He bought them what clothing they have on tonight. I point out our table and the employees we are here with.

Mia
Why did you choose to come to this party?

Ethan
Dad wants my family to marry you and one of your brothers. Me marry you and Kate marry either Christian or Elliott. Sorry but Mia you and I both know we have nothing in common, my dad wants it to happen so he is going to try again and again. I still have my psych degree to get and get my license to practice. Plus you have no goals in life and you have a degree and aren't using it. Do you work at all? Seriously I see photos of you shopping and partying. I hope Kate isn't going to be dependent on our family's wealth and then her husbands wealth like you are doing right now. I personally think of you as a horrible choice to be a wife and mother. Until you work for a salary you will be dependent on everyone else to support you. Okay I come from wealth but I am working hard to become a psychiatrist and not going to be handed my career on a silver platter like Kate thought she was. Dad is making the prima dona works her way up from the bottom. Granted he is paying all her bills and rent until she has a good career of her own and he wants her to take over the company. This is where him wanting us to marry a Grey doesn't make sense to me at all. It's got to be him wanting power and using us to get it by marrying a Grey.

Mia
That might just be it, he wants power and the Grey name is a powerful one in Seattle. Well thanks for knocking me off my pedestal. I am glad Ethan and I spoke. I actually ask him for his number so I can keep in touch with him. I might be getting played, but I don't think so. He gives me his phone and I add my number to his contact list and he adds his to mine. We separate and go back to our families. Christian is ducking Kate and Elliott is with Belinda. The Steele family said goodbye to all of us and thanks us again for having them.

Christian
I finally get to meet Anastasia and Ariana along with their father Raymond Steele. I happened to be coming to see mom and dad about something and they were saying thanks for the invitations to the party. Roz was the one who hired Anastasia for Grey Publishing so she knew her. She knew about Ariana as did I but now I know who I had sex with In Portland and it wasn't Anastasia. I did run into both at the hardware store the personality change is obvious to me now. Ariana is definitely not the one I saw later, but she was the one I saw earlier in the hardware store. I also know it was Anastasia with the guy at the door as I made my snide comments to her as I left. She looked surprised and the guy told her Ariana was at it again or something like that.
