Heartbreak Hotel

Burial At Sea?

Ray
I just can't bury Carla because I don't want her buried near any of us so Jose Sr and I decided she should be cremated and we throw her ashes into the sewer where they belong. Morton can rot in the morgue as far as I am concerned. I should do the same to Carla but I like my idea better. Carrick helped me get the body to cremate her and he thinks we can't do the sewer thing. So Jose Sr has an idea. He is mailing it down to Florida and having his cousin throw it out amongst the gators down there. Poor gators. Both girls don't want anything to do with her ashes or anything she left behind. Her belongings were offered to them seeing they are the on,y kin she has left. Guess who had a million dollar life insurance policy on Carla if she died. If she was killed in an accident it doubled to two million. Guess who gets that money now. The girls are waiting for that money and they have plans to donate it along with the settlement from the wreck that is several hundred thousand dollars. They are giving that money to the grocery store and the victims of the shootings.

My psychiatrist said that I don't feel anything because she was never a mom to us. I do feel anger about her trying to kill me and going to kill Anastasia after that. The search they did found proof of it. Morton even had insurance policies on us and he was the only beneficiary listed. He planned to get rid of us and Carla. Mom didn't have life insurance on us at all. Guess she thought she would get us to hand over the trust funds without batting an eye. My psychiatrist said that I do things that make me feel good in the moment, but I feel dirty afterward. Ethan and I are enjoying each other's company when he comes up to see me and his family. He has introduced me to his mom and dad and Kate when she was at dinner. Dad told me to start looking at the person and boy the designer they are wearing. He says that wearing designer clothing means you are trying to impress others by how much you spend or others spend on you and that creates the wrong messages to others. He keeps telling me that and I am not sure exactly what he means. Ethan has told me that wearing expensive clothing is usually on special occasions to him. He wears jeans and sweaters or jerseys if we don't go to his parents home or out to nice place for dinner. Dad likes him well enough he just doesn't like his parents attitudes about marrying into the Grey family.

Anastasia
I am coping with my mother's death and how she died. She was going to kill me and Ariana and probably dad. Dad took care of her ashes and there was no fanfare for her at all. Jose Sr handled disposing of the ashes. He just smiled when he said his cousin took care of them. My psychiatrist told me not to worry about it or her ashes because she never worried about us. All she wanted was our trust funds. She and her husband came in time for the fund to be turned over to us. Both are dead now. My confusion is not easy. I don't know how to feel right now, but I will know soon. I throw myself into my work and get things ready for tomorrow. My house is spotless and my fridge is full along with my freezer. I think about the grocery store and Ariana nearly being killed by our mother and her husband all over money and nothing else. There was no love for us from her, there was only love for men and money. I knew the truth if it, but now I know the facts of it all and so does Ariana. Both of us have issues regarding her deserting us and they came out in different ways. I hope her therapy is going as well as mine. Ethan seems to be helping her with her issues when he is in town he sees her. I am glad she's not going to the clubs anymore and taking all those risks. Dad comes and visits us regularly as well. Ariana has joined us for dinners and invited us to dinners. She has learned how to cook, clean and do her own laundry. She no longer buys just expensive clothing. She took me to a second store to buy a few things to add to her wardrobe.

Ethan
Ariana and I are getting closer, but I want to take it slow with her after her admission about her boyfriend cheating on her at the Heartbreak Hotel in Portland, she was faithful to him and he cheated on her in their favorite room. So she had sex with guys and didn't care what their names were. Now she just wants to get past all the pain she feels. The attack in the penthouse was the catalyst for her to get therapy and her mother and her current husband wanted to kill her for money. Who knows what number husband Stephen was for Carla. I am very attracted to Ariana, when I finally saw Anastasia cooking in our kitchen I was drawn to her, but Ariana brings out my protective nature and she hides the pain deep inside herself and she is finally letting it go. Dad wasn't happy when I told him about dating Ariana Steele but he can't do much about it. He tried to use my trust fund against me, but mom stopped that quickly. She asked him if he wanted everyone to know that he turned his back on his only son trying to become a respected psychiatrist. She made a valid point and he shut up.

Cousin Jose sent these ashes to me to spread amongst the gators in the nearby waters. He said the ashes were of a woman who was no good money worshipper who died after trying to murder her daughters to get their trust funds from them to support her criminal husband. I found the perfect location and soon I used a drone to drop them in the water where the biggest number of gators would be dusted by them.
