A Dollar For Anastasia

Never Give Up

Christian
I just couldn't believe any of the information Gideon was feeding us and had my own people digging and digging and we found out that Gideon was behind it all and just found people he could take an easy fall for everything. I kept wondering how both couple were naked and did nothing and who did it t them and how they were in the best hotel and best rooms in the hotel. We discovered that the hotel was recently purchase by a subsidiary of a company that was owned by a corporation that we found was owned by a company that was owned by Cross Industries and they were given orders to handle the couple with kid gloves and to get everything done. We finally got originals of the photos from the tabloid again owned by Cross Industries through several other companies. We found the people who got them married and they were paid very well and they posed the couples for the photos and they were dressed in wedding garments.

Gideon
I should have known that Grey would dig until he found my hand in all this and he released the information that had me losing money in the stock market and police knocking at my door taking me into custody. They took me out in handcuffs and it made the international news and I lost out n a billion dollar dill that Christian swooped in and got a day later. My attorneys can't get me out of this and I am trying to get both sets of twins to drop the charges but they aren't even speaking to me or my attorneys. My family is beyond mad at me and they think I put both couples in danger and I didn't at all. I had people watching both sets of twins at all times. The police got search warrants for everything they could and every place they could. They found all the videos and photos and now have a choice of pleading guilty and spending time behind bars for each count. I have to get someone to run my company and they have to come to New York fast otherwise Grey will be taking over a few of my companies that's how fast Cross Industries is losing money, investors don't want to be associated with my antics. I thought the jail sentences were the worst I could go through. All the twins sued me civilly and won fifty million each for what I had done to them. I might get out in seven to fifteen years time. I screwed up big time and Carrick brought some heavy hitters in to assure I got time and had to give up a nice chunk of money to each f the twins.

Anastasia
I want to personally kick Gideon in the balls and I told him that outside the courtroom. Rose and Ruth had to testify against him and tell what they recalled happened along with all the battles to get their annulments. Then the Cross twins told their version of everything that happened. Boy he was lucky they had a closed courtroom and a gag order as well. If the investors who were still with him heard everything he had done to these four people and everything he put them through afterward he would be broke. Christian thinks he should break up Cross Industries and I am sure not going to stop him after all the girls have been through. All four of the twins were happy with both outcomes and the size of the settlement for each of them.

Carrick
I wasn't happy he only got seven to fifteen years for what he did to both sets of twins. He had the home court advantage until we got to the civil action and they hit him below the belt. I earned my fees that day and so did the other attorneys. Sadly Gideon couldn't win the case because we had him dead to rights. The more he covered his tracks the more we were able to find the fresh dirt he threw on his tracks. Christian was right about Gideon being a slime ball who would try anything to get what he wanted, even if it meant trying to take his nephews inheritance away from them. I had heard numerous stories about him but they were soon put to bed with his PR teams.

Grace
I was very happy that everything was solved and Carrick was able to rest finally. He flew back and forth to New York a lot. Anastasia and Christian traveled with him and the girls and everything was finally settled and signed and the checks were distributed because Gideon wasn't filing an appeal on anything. His company is being ran by his nephews now. Investors are starting to come back as long as they are running it honestly now. Christian said they are doing their best to run it honestly now. I am just glad they have Gideon behind bars.

News Flash
It has been reported that Gideon Cross has been found dead in his prison cell and no one knows how he died. An autopsy has been ordered. The family has identified the body.

Dexter
Gideon had a lot of enemies and being behind bars was not something that was conducive to his staying alive. He only lasted two months and he was found dead in his cell. We called the attorney and found out he left everything to us in his last will. Ireland is going to be angry. She is his half sister and he gave her an allowance monthly. She hates us and will fight us for her share of the company.

Drew
Ireland showed up and demanded her share of the company, but it wasn't going to happen because she wasn't in the wills at any point. She is taking it to court yeehaw another visit to court. This will definitely cause news yet again. We have tried to settle with her but she is being unreasonable.

Ireland Cross
I had proof that Gideon was giving me an allowance monthly and I am living in one of his homes. His mother is my mother, but his father is a Cross. She kept the Cross name after she divorced Alexander Cross.

The will

Dexter and Drew Cross were left all of the estate of Gideon Cross and settled with Ireland for her monthly allowance and gave her the penthouse she was living in and kept her on staff until she retires. It was easier that way.

Rose
After all the legal fees were paid we were left with 35 million dollars each and we decided to invest in our own companies that dad recommended. We hired a CEO he recommended to us and a CFO as well. They were working as interns at GEH and highly skilled and very honest. Plus very hot looking.

Ruth
If Rise can get over how good looking the new CEO and CFO are we can get an HR position filled and start getting people hired to fill positions within the company. We are manufacturing various products food and vitamins are our main focus. We are thinking of adding dishes of Mia's to our production line and she is helping us with the recipes.

Things are looking up for all of us. I am now an aunt. Theodore's wife had twins while all the court battles went on. They look like his wife Caren Rose and Carol Grace Grey are trying to crawl now.
