A Real Bitch

Mia
I have been going to the same salon for years and now I am rethinking my patronage at this point. It has been bought by a mr and mrs Lincoln and they have tripped the costs of their services. I got a shock when I went to pay the bill. They failed to tell any of us regular patrons they had raised the rates. So I asked for their price sheets and they hadn't received them yet. So they charged us without notifying any of us of the price hike. So I am taking my business elsewhere and informing my friends of the price hike. I don't take kindly to people doing business in such ways. Mom, Kate and Anastasia are all with me on cancelling all future appointments with Esclava. They changed the name of the salons to that strange name. I guess it means slave. Word got around and Esclava is offering discounts now. I throw all their advertisements and coupons away. My favorite people left there and they are working for a smaller salon. Mrs Lincoln raised their rent on the chairs and it was tripled as well. I told Christian that we should open our own beauty shop and he told me to look at it and see if we can get the people from the old salon to join us in creating our own place. Elliott found a building perfect for it and can take more clients and offer more service four months later we open the largest beauty salon in Seattle. Mrs Lincoln and her husband attend the grand opening of Mia's beauty for those on a budget. We found a way to offer better services for less than the original salon. So we get more customers and more customers mean more money for everyone. Security finally asked the Lincoln's to leave. Jason was the genius that insisted on all sorts of security and fire alarms along with fire suppressants. What we caught was the Lincoln's and a few boys setting fire to my building. It didn't go up in flames like she had hoped. She, her husband and the three fifteen year olds are being held for trial. My insurance covered my damage and we were up and running in three weeks. We cut the rents for two months. I sued the Lincoln's and won, then sued the boys parents and won. All three boys had no idea that mrs Lincoln and her husband were both pedophiles. Both preferred males. It all came out when it was discovered they had a criminal record and what was even more shocking is they were Roberts biological parents. They left him at the hospital after he was born. They found baby photos and videos of him as he grew up. Ray saw the pictures and showed the cops. Robert visited them according to Anastasia and both Elena and Richard told him to get lost. Ray told him not to go, but he just needed to meet them. Sadly he started seeing Ethan Kavanagh for psychiatric care. Kate saw him there and he was a mess. Ray was with him. They placed him in a psychiatric hospital Anastasia is using her inheritance to see he gets the best care they offer.

Elena
I couldn't allow Mia Grey to destroy my business so I and Richard use our boy toys to try to burn down Mia's salon. It wouldn't burn, the windows wouldn't break and the cops and fire department arrive when we were still setting fires around the place. We were all arrested on the spot and they took the gas cans and everything else in as evidence. Then they called the boys parents and all hell broke loose and charges were added and they found out about us escaping from charges in other places. Then our son finds us because of a DNA search he for his family. We are in the national DNA database because of our criminal background. So he decided to visit me first. I told him the truth Richard and I never wanted him and waited too long to abort him. So we left him at the hospital when we should have just left him at the cheap hotel he was born in. I think that I broke him.

Richard Lincoln
After hearing the last name I thought we could get the kid to bail us out. Well it didn't go that way because he doesn't have money to bail anyone out with. His sister does but she is married to the brother of the girl who owned the shop we tried to destroy. That bail was never coming. He wasted my time talking to him. I told him if we hadn't been on the run we would have aborted him. At this point I regret dropping him off at 5he hospital rather than leave him the rent by the hour place Elena gave birth to him. I tell him to never come back unless he can bail us out.

Robert
Both my biological parents are worse than Ray said they were. He found them years ago and chose to never tell me. Now I know why. Both are piles of donkey doodoo and not worth it to use for fertilizer. As much as my family tried to guide me through to the right direction I just kept going the wrong way. Who knows how many children I have out there that I might as well have done the same thing as my parents did to me. I broke down and Ray or my dad should I call him now, took me to see a psychiatrist and here I am in a psychiatrist hospital. Anastasia is paying for my treatment to assure that I get well.

Penelope
I can't believe Elena came back to Seattle after all these years. She must have thought my threat wasn't real against her. Carla and her really thought they ran Seattle back then. Little did they know that they had very little time left according to my clock. One down one to go and let's not forget that awful husband of hers.
