However, Jared distracts her and she loses.Jared swindles Nash Brennan
at a game of poker and buys Antonio Vega's shares of Nash's vineyard;
it revealed that he shares a secret past with Nash's wife (and
Natalie's fraternal twin) Jessica Buchanan. Jessica's former alternate
personality Tess had been responsible for sending Jared to prison,
thus ruining his chances at a good business job. Jared wants revenge
on Jessica, believing that she had set him up and not believing that
"Tess" had ever existed.Asa had died on August 16, 2007, soon after
Jared's arrival in town; Jared befriends Asa's widow Renee, who claims
to see much of her husband in Jared. Soon Asa's son Clint and butler
Nigel and later most of the family are suspicious of Jared's
motives. Jared and Natalie are attracted to each other, but she also
is less-than-trusting of his motives and angry at his manipulations
with her family. Jared boldly kisses Natalie at work, and she fires
him. Jared arrives at Nash and Jessica's cottage with proof that he
owns it as part of his stake in the vineyard, and proceeds to move in.
Natalie re-hires him to get him to leave.
