Never underestimate the commercial value of mental illness.
Vachel & Tia
Vachel Whittaker, 26. Né Eric Cipriani, commonly known as “Junior”; general manager, Whittaker House Inn; MBA, Georgetown University; CEO, OKH Enterprises. Not bad for a neglected and abused kid from a filthy trailer home who’s been used to needle an innocent man. It’s amazing what someone can accomplish when he has a loving family behind him.
Tia Yohe, 24. Née Regina Westlake; former party girl; owner of chichi furniture store, Twenty-Dollar Rag. Not bad for a neglected and abused poor little rich girl who’s been used as a weapon against yet another man her mother married for his money. It’s amazing what one can do when she gets a harsh lesson delivered by someone who cares in spite of himself.
