Theresa was so nervous. Today was her wedding to Ethan. It had been a few months since he had called off his wedding to Gwen Hotchkiss the socialite of Harmony. She of course didn't take it well and neither had her mother. However, they were out of the picture now. There was nothing they could do to her once she walked down the aisle. She and Ethan were leaving the states after the wedding was over. Ivy had arranged the plans for Ethan. 298 guests were expected to attend the ceremony. Only twenty the guests belonged to Theresa's family. Paloma had come home to attend the wedding and with her she had brought the Wheelers. Pilar had arranged for her sister and her brother to fly out from Puerto Arena as well.
Theresa's bridal party consisted of Whitney, her maid of honor, Kay, Simone, Jessica, and her sister Paloma. Last night they had gone out of town for a bridal shower. Theresa wasn't the only one that was getting married . Sheridan and Luis were having a double wedding with her and Ethan. Sheridan had made Gwen her maid of honor. Sheridan and Theresa had their bridal showers together at an exclusive night club thanks to Ivy. Unfortunately for Theresa, Gwen had to come.
During the shower, each person gave Sheridan and Theresa gifts. Gwen had given Sheridan a new colt. The colt was placed in her stable. She had also gotten Sheridan another colt for Luis. For Theresa, Gwen had gotten her ribbons. Theresa had thanked her and oddly smiled at her.
Ethan was standing in the church sanctuary early the next morning making sure the right flowers were decorating the aisle seats. The ushers and Ethan's best man, Chad, showed up a little bit later. Soon Luis had arrived with his best man, Hank. Sheridan and Theresa would be here soon.
Theresa and Sheridan were escorted to separate rooms to get ready. Their maid of honors accompanied them.
"Sheridan you're so lucky to have someone that loves you as much as Luis loves you." Gwen said.
"Oh Gwen thank you so much. Don't worry; you'll find someone that loves you equally the same. I'm sorry that Ethan didn't feel the same for you as Luis feels for me." Sheridan said.
"That's where you're wrong Sheridan. He did love me as equally as Luis loves you. Theresa just poisoned his mind against me. She's a snake Sheridan. There's nothing good or loving about her. Ethan will see that one day but it'll be too late then. He'll realize just how heartless and evil Theresa is and he'll come back to me." Gwen said angrily.
"Oh Gwen, you can't be serious. You know that he loves Theresa. He dated both of you and he decided that Theresa was the woman that he loved not you. You need to get over this and move on. It's not healthy for you to keep pinning after a man that's going to be married after today." Sheridan said.
"You don't know what it's like to spend years with someone for them to just walk away for the housekeeper's daughter." Gwen said.
"Gwen it's obvious that you and Ethan weren't meant to be. Now it's time to move on and get yourself someone new to love." Sheridan said.
"I will never love anyone else as long as Ethan's around. He'll come back to me. You just wait and see Sheridan. He'll come back." Gwen said.
"Gwen I wouldn't count on that. He and Theresa are leaving for Europe to start over. Ivy made the arrangements last week." Sheridan said.
"What are you talking about? He can't leave until he sees how evil Theresa is and comes back to me." Gwen said.
"Gwen, forget it. You lucked out. I'm sorry but I really don't want to argue about this anymore. Today is my wedding to Luis and I don't want it to be ruined. Now please just stop with all this crazy talk. Ethan's gone from your life. He's marrying Theresa today." Sheridan said.
"You're right. This is all crazy talk. I should stop it and just move on." Gwen said.
"I'm glad you agree. Now I'm going to go talk to Whitney to make sure that everything is alright with Theresa. Will you be okay by yourself?" Sheridan said.
"I'll be fine. Go on ahead and talk to Whitney." Gwen said.
Sheridan left the room.
"Oh Sheridan, you're wrong. Ethan will come back to me. Just wait and see. Soon I'll have what I want the most and Theresa won't ever come between us again." Gwen said.
"Whitney I'm so excited. I can't wait to walk down the aisle. I'm finally going to be Mrs. Ethan Crane and there's nothing that Gwen can do to stop me." Theresa said.
"Honey, I'm glad your dream is finally going to come true. However, I'd still be concerned about Gwen. She's not going to let you just have Ethan without a fight." Whitney said.
"Do you think she's going to do something to stop my wedding to Ethan?" Theresa asked.
"I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that you need to be careful of Gwen and her mother." Whitney said.
"I'm not worried about them. They can't do anything now." Theresa said.
"Honey, I'll be right back. I'm going to go use the bathroom. Just stay away from Gwen until I come back. The last thing I need is to pull her off of you." Whitney said.
"Don't worry about me. I'll be fine." Whitney said.
The door to Theresa's dressing room opened. Theresa turned around expecting to see Sheridan or Whitney but instead she found Gwen.
"What do you want Gwen?" Theresa asked.
"I want to talk to you about Ethan." Gwen said.
"I'm not in the mood. As you can see, I'm busy getting ready for my wedding to Ethan." Theresa said.
"I'm so sick of you acting like Ethan loves you." Gwen said.
"Gwen I don't have to act. He does love me. He's marrying me. Now get out. I have a lot to do and you are just cutting into my time." Theresa said.
"I'm not going anywhere Theresa. I won't let scum like you ruin mine and Ethan's happiness." Gwen said.
"Gwen, Ethan and I are going to marry in less than an hour and then we are going to go off on our honey moon." Theresa said.
"I've heard. I also heard that you and Ethan are leaving for Europe as well." Gwen said.
"That's right Gwen. We are getting far away from Harmony to start our lives over." Theresa said.
"I won't let you take Ethan away from me." Gwen said.
"What are you going to do to stop me?" Theresa asked.
"You'll see." Gwen said.
Theresa turned back around to put her diamond earrings on. She raised her arm but suddenly felt a sharp pain in her arm. She fell to the floor unconscious. Gwen freaked out at what just happened. Theresa had made her so mad that she pulled out the sedative her mother gave her to take after ceremony to relieve her stress and stabbed her. All of the sudden someone was outside the door knocking. Gwen looked around the room to find a place to hide her. She spotted a small closet and shoved Theresa in there. She opened up the door and saw Ethan standing out there looking suspicious.
"What's going on in here?" Ethan asked.
"What are you talking about Ethan?" Gwen asked back.
"Well, I heard a loud noise in here. Are you and Theresa fighting?" Ethan asked.
"Ethan, Theresa isn't even in here and the loud noise you heard was me. I accidently fell down." Gwen said.
"Okay. Well, where is Theresa at?" Ethan asked.
"I believe she went to the bathroom." Gwen said.
"I can't wait to see her." Ethan said.
Ethan left the room and Gwen breathed a sigh of relief. She picked up her phone and dialed her mother's cell.
"Hello." Rebecca said.
"Mother, I need your help." Gwen said.
"What's wrong Gwen?" Rebecca asked.
"I need you to clean up a mess for me." Gwen said.
"Does this have to do with Theresa?" Rebecca asked.
"Yes it does." Gwen said.
"I'll be right there sweetheart. Don't worry; mommy will take care of everything." Rebecca said with a sadistic smile planted on her face.
