The Search For Mystery Girl

Things Are Looking Up

Isabel
Anastasia has been very helpful in my studies and we are going to our classes together and she works at a book store close to the college. So I can pick her up later. We have met a few other students and I am stunned by the fact they have more students Anastasia's age. She added Steele to her legal name and on all her documentation. Including her original birth certificate, what is ironic is they nearly had the right date of birth on it. Dad and mom had that done, she did it for them after the DNA test. If it were left up to her she would have just stayed Anna Rose Smith. We met Kate Kavanagh and Mia Grey of all people and both are well known in the area. They were both taking courses to get ready for college. We met them in the registrars office and then again at the college book store, so we had coffee or tea and became fast friends. Kate invited us over to meet a few of their friends.

Anastasia
I am unsure about meeting all these friends of Kate's and Mia's. But I do it anyway because it is easier to make friends with Isabel around. Leila Williams is not my first choice for a friend but neither is Lily Johnson, then there is Gia Matteo now her I have met. She caused a foster parents marriage to break up and she dumped the guy afterward. I don't trust her. She might not remember me at all. After hearing that Mia is sister to the young man who is making headlines about his abilities to make money every second of the day. He is on his way to becoming a billionaire. So is his brother. Mia is spoiled rotten by them and her parents. Isabel likes being friends with her because she is generous to us. I just don't like her spending money on us all the time and I don't accept her gifts or purchases of my meals. I get the feeling that Kate and I would be her only friend if she didn't spend money on the others. Isabel has been told to stop taking gifts from Mia by mom and dad and she has abided by their wishes. We actually were all invited to Mia's birthday party and my brother was invited and so were my parents and Kate's parents. We bought a nice gift for Mia and it was amazing to see the house was so close to ours. Ours is huge but theirs is twice the size. Dad renovated the house they bought here in Seattle and got it for a song because it need a lot of work.

Mia
Of course my parents have invited some of the parents over to help celebrate my birthday. I am turning 18 today and glad it was a Saturday. Mom has insisted on inviting the Kavanagh's, the Steele's including the brother, then the Williams, Johnson's and the Matteo family over. I told mom that her painting looks like Anastasia and I show her a photo of her and it looks like the girl in the painting, just older. She looks at it and she says that it reminded her of a young girl that was brought in to the ER a long time ago and she bought it because it looked so much like that girl. She was her doctor while she was in the hospital. We stand there and she tells me that the artist is new to Seattle and is also a college student. The girl was someone he knew when they were in first grade together. She apparently disappeared from the town they lived in and has never been found. My party started out great and then something happened. Gia Matteo happened.

Elliott
I swear I wished my parents would have screened Mia's birthday invitations and checked with me about Gia because I have been ducking her since she got me drunk and had her way with me. Since then she has been showing up at my office every chance she gets. Security has told her she is not allowed on the premises and then she tried the I might be pregnant routine and I took her and got the girl tested and she wasn't pregnant and we didn't have an STD. I told her we were done and if I have to I will get a restraining order against her. Now her whole family is here and I am avoiding them like the plague. There are only so many places that I can hide.

Christian
I am laughing at Elliott because he didn't heed my warning about Gia being a sexual predator and he needed to stay away from her. They went out and he ended up drunk and in her bed and I have no doubts they did more than sleep in that bed. He really regrets it now. I am staying busy and trying not to get into the same situations and I have security keeping these kind of females away from me. I have dates occasionally and they know that I am not looking for a wife and I tell them up front that I am not monogamous at this point and not to expect anything permanent with me. I make sure they are on birth control and use condoms every time. They need to prove they are clear of STD and they are on birth control. I have an NDA they have to sign before I go out with them. Mia's girlfriends are always trying to get me alone and I avoid them like the plague. She has new ones since she started going to college. Kate Kavanagh might be an issue because she is Eamon Kavanagh's daughter and they have ran articles on me and she now has the inside track on information on me. Mia tells me to get over myself and I tell her not to discuss me with anyone especially Kate and she says they don't talk about me.

Kate
I am really hung up on Elliott but Gia has been making it known that they are an item, but it seems like they aren't even talking to each other. He seems to be hiding from her and her family. Mia told me later that Gia told me that to keep me from going after him myself. I have heard the Grey brothers were players so I am not interested in them no matter what. Plus if Elliott was with Gia at one point I can imagine he would be interested in me.

Lily
Mom and dad are here and they are both trying to get closer to the family in hopes they could get me set up with either of the Grey brothers like I am merchandise for sale and to the highest price. They have no idea what I want and it's not for them to choose my husband. Both the Grey brothers are definitely worth my effort but the invisible hands on my back pushing me in their direction makes me want to run the other way. I know how these kind of marriages end up and my marriage to the person of my choice is going to be of my own choosing of the man, the time and the place and hopefully for life.

Leila
My parents have their sights on Christian as my husband are trying to impress his parents with my achievements. I am embarrassed but glad they are helping me get me an in with the Grey parents after all they have influence on their sons choices of a spouse. I keep trying to sit by Christian but he keeps moving around and his bodyguard has blocked me from following him.
