Confronting the Truth

As Ethan strolls through the streets of LA, he can't help but remember times that he's spent with Theresa

Flashback

"Ethan, I want to make love to you tonight."

"We can't, Theresa, you promised your mother you'd wait until your wedding night."

"But Ethan, it is our wedding day!" She kisses him passionately, as he tries to gain control over his body's reaction.

"I know. But, I want you to be absolutely sure you want this, THersea?"

"I don't want to wait, Ethan. Please, don't make me wait."

Giving into passion, the two are joined as body, mind, and hearts, forever.


Present

"Our wedding that never happened. God, Resa, we've gone through so much heartache and joy. How could I forget you? I can't. I need you like I need air to breathe. How could I have been so stupid to have thought Gwen was the woman in my heart? It's been you all along, Resa, only you.

2nd Flashback

"Silly Resa, there's no such thing as fate!"

"Yes, Ethan, there is. When I was a little girl, my papa used to tell me that everything happens for a reason. Well, I think that fate is what brought the two of us together. We're meant to be."

"You think so, huh?" Ethan asks as he kisses Theresa slowly.

"I know so."

"Well, then, why would I say that my future wife is wrong?" They laugh as they kiss again.

"I love you, Ethan."

"And I love you, Theresa."

Present

"God, it's all true. I love Theresa so much. I can't let her leave LA, and me, forever. I need her in my life. I have to prove to her that she's the only woman for me." Ethan looks down at his bare left hand. "We should have been married all those years ago. I can't believe I fell for Gwen's schemes and lies. Theresa tried to warn me that Gwen was up to no good, but I never believed her. God, I am so stupid!" As Ethan walks through LA, he stops as he realizes what he has to do.

"I have to divorce Gwen. There is no way I can be married to a woman who prefers to lie and deceive me everyday. Granted, Theresa has lied to me before, but I know better. She lied because she did not want to hurt me. She had my best interest at heart. Divorcing Gwen is the only way I can be free to marry the one true love of my life. That is, if she'll still have me."

After placing a call to a law firm in Harmony, Ethan has the divorce papers drawn up and sent over to the hospital. "I can't be with a woman who would pass off her baby as my own when we know it's not. God, please let me get Theresa back."
