Chapter One
~*~
Fox Crane was sitting alone in the dark contemplating the things Theresa had said to him that night about her so-called "true love" that she shared with Ethan, his half-brother.
"True love, it's something that Ethan and I will always have."
"But Theresa, Ethan is married to Gwen. His heart belongs to her now. "
"No! It doesn't. You see he only married Gwen out of obligation. He still loves me. Ethan will always love me. His marriage with Gwen is only an obstacle that love will overcome."
Fox shook his head sadly. Theresa is still blinded by her "love" for Ethan. I don't see why she still thinks Ethan's so wonderful. Fox grumbled.
"Humph. Who am I kidding? I know exactly why she's so caught up on him. Ethan's always been numero uno, Mr. Perfect." Fox said aloud with disdain. "She's just like everyone else. They've always believed Ethan was perfect."
But no, something inside told Fox. She's not like everyone else. She's like no one you've ever met before, and you know it.
Deep down Fox knew it.
Theresa was different from any woman he had ever met. One minute she could be an ice queen. That was evident in the stunt she pulled when she kicked Ivy out of the mansion into the bitter cold. But the next minute, she could be so loving, so compassionate. Her compassion shone through when she was with her son.
She was so ambitious, so dedicated. Such a dreamer. Fox sighed remembering the way her beautiful brown eyes danced when she talked about love.
"Humph. Love," Fox said.
He got up and paced around the room; his thoughts still consumed with Theresa. What's gotten into me? Deep down Fox knew what had gotten to him, yet he stilled remained oblivious to the truth.
It was Theresa. She had gotten to him.
He was puzzled on how much of an effect she could have on him. His bemusement formed a wall that separated him from the truth.
Fox knew that he liked Theresa. However, he didn't know that he was slowly falling in love with her.
