My Shadow

A Match Made In Heaven

Ray
I knew when I saw Anastasia dancing around with Christian they were a perfect match. We wanted her to have a normal life and even though he's a billionaire she still wants a family, a husband and children who are safe at all times. We couldn't give that to her, but we are ready to see she has it now.

I am amazed that Christian is still single. The man has women drooling over him and they can't get him to look at them. He has been looking at Anastasia since the anniversary party. It's been six months and he has asked her to marry him and she said yes. I knew that they were seeing each other a lot. Christian even asked Ray for his blessings, not many do that these days. Grace and I are thrilled our children are getting married. The wedding is going to be small but beautiful and Mia is creating the wedding cake and has created a simple wedding fare for them. Nothing exotic food wise, just something simple.

Mia
I am frantically working to get everything done for Anastasia and Christian's wedding. Josh and I have been working hard and I have promoted him to my second in command. He has went out of his way to make sure everything runs smoothly. He has hired exceptional staff as well. He has developed a Human Resources department as well. I can't believe my luck and the fact that Christian hired him for me. My second restaurant and catering has opened up. We have managers who run the restaurants and the catering. We are expanding into wedding, anniversaries, baby showers, bachelor and bachelorette parties. The newest are more solemn events, like funerals. I started thinking of wedding dresses and everything that goes with having a wedding. I had to buy the building next to us and Elliott designed it and built and walkway from one building to the other. It will open up soon. I have a CFO now to keep me on track money wise. The wedding is simple enough for Anastasia and Christian and the numbers attending are less than a hundred people. Security is very tight. Kate Kavanagh sent her minions to gain information by pretending to be a couple wanting my services. Their acting was horrible.

Grace
I am glad to see Anastasia and Christian getting married, he made a great choice. She is very smart and beautiful and a great surgeon in the making. Everything is right on schedule and attempts at getting the wedding date and place have been thwarted by everyone involved. Mia said Kate sent a fake couple to her place to try to get the information and she got rid of them.

We are very excited to see our son get married and to a brilliant young woman. We are finally getting a daughter in law. Plus we like the Steele's as in laws. We feel safe with them around and they make sure we are safe. We don't see any of the people that are around and assuring everyone's safety. Christian's men are obviously around. They somehow coordinate with each other. I found out there are women as well. I guess they are needed to check the women's restroom before any of the women go to the restroom. We have had a few issues with paparazzi and reporters from Kavanagh Media. The wedding was everything that Mia said it would be and more. Everyone enjoyed the food, the cake and the alcohol she served.

Christian
Seeing Anastasia walking towards me on her parents arms was great. Elliott told me that I got very lucky when she said yes to marrying me and I agree with him. Our honeymoon is going to be just a week and we have to come back to work right away. Once we said I do and kiss we are announced man and wife. The reception was great and the cake was delicious.

Anastasia
Everything was great and Mia did a great job. We gave her permission to use photos of our wedding for her new wedding planning business. She is going to be opening a new business soon. She is hands on, but she needs to have guidance and she's getting it from everyone. Finally we are married. It can get confusing sometimes when you have too many irons in the fire or chefs in the kitchen in this case. I was given a week off for our honeymoon. Only security knew where we were going to because of the paparazzi and a few other people trying to get us to do an interview. We finally allowed Gia Matteo to interview us using FaceTime. She tried to slip a few questions in and they were benign so we answered them. She was a good friend of mine from my first foster home. I remembered her from my time with Mrs Watkins. Gia saw my parents and knew they were real, but she was asked to keep quiet about them and she did. We lost touch with each other when she moved in with her grandparents in another state. So when she contacted us about an interview we decided to hear her out. Now Elliott wants to be introduced to her. He will need to fly to New York to meet her though, I think that dissuaded him.

Gia
I wrap the interview up and get the final approval for airing it and soon after it was aired I get a call from Elliott Grey asking me out on a date. I just got engaged and had to turn him down telling him I was taken, little did I know I was faithful but Lewis wasn't and I walked in on him having sex with three women. I just asked him to leave and take the women with him. It's a good thing he hadn't moved in with me yet. He just stood there and I dialed security to remove him and to change all the locks and handed the engagement ring to the one who was performing oral sex on him and said good luck with him. Lewis Randall and all his things were taking out along with the women and their clothing. I burnt my sheets, well threw them in the dumpster. Our photos are in a box in my closet now. I give Elliott Grey a call and he will fly in to have dinner with me.

Elliott
Gia Matteo has black hair and violet eyes and I am stunned by my luck. I'm am flying to New York to meet her and have dinner. This Lewis guy was an idiot for cheating on her. I met her at her office in a suit Mia told me to wear. She actually chose my wardrobe for the trip. Christian got me a reservation at a top restaurant in New York and he's letting me stay in his apartment during my stay here. I think the second Gia and I saw each other it was love at first sight. She had her assistant reschedule everything and we left to go sightseeing.

Gia
Elliott spent a week with me and he had to go back to Seattle. What I didn't expect was him to ask me to marry him and think about coming to Seattle to do my job there. I thought he was crazy and he pulled out an engagement ring and wedding bands. I think he is kidding, but he's very serious. I think we only have known each other for a short time, but I knew Lewis for about six years and I was very shocked about his cheating. I say yes and we are flying to Vegas to get married. We landed and soon I was buying my wedding dress and shoes. We had a small ceremony at the hotel. It was great. Now I am going to be meeting the family.
