Chapter 26….

In washington adam was sitting in his hotelroom,thinking about what he could do to get his wife back,when there was a knock on the door and to his surprise he found m.j. outside of his door in her wheelchair;"Hi,adam,can I come in?"

"Sure."answered her husband;"What are you doing here,Michelle,isn't today aaron's funeral?"

"That was this morning and there are still some people at the house,but I couldn't take it anymore and I didn't know where else to go."said she as adam helped her into his room;"I'm sorry."

"Hey,don't be sorry and I'm glad that you came here."started adam with a faint smile;"Do you want something to eat or drink?"
"No,I want answers."answered his wife tired;"I want the truth,adam!"

"About what?"asked he hesitating;"Have you talked to karen or Charlie about this yet and do they even know where you are?"

"No,I left without telling them and I can't talk to them about it because neither of them will tell me the truth anyway."said m.j. softly;"That's why I came to you,because I thought that maybe you would would tell me the truth."

"I'd love to tell you whatever you want to know,michelle,but I'm not sure what that is."began her husband slowly;"Besides,didn't the doctors warn you that finding out things before you're ready might do you more harm then good?"

"To hell with those doctors!"yelled she suddenly furious and grabbed adam's arm;"Why am I so attracted to you when my husband just died and I'm suppose to be mourning him,adam,why do I have all these confusing feelings and why have I never felt like this about aaron from the moment I woke up six months ago,even though I must have loved him enough before my accident to marry him?"

"Because…."answered adam stuned about what his wife had just said and without giving it another thought blurted out the truth;"Because you weren't his wife!"

"What are you talking about?"asked his wife confused;"That's a crazy thing to say,adam,why would you say something like that?"

"But it's the truth!"said he and sat down infront of m.j. as he took her hands into his and stared her right in the eyes;"You're my wife,m.j."

"Why are you calling me that again and why would you say something like that?"started she in shock and wheeled her wheelchair away from adam,towards the door;"Is this some kind of sick joke?"

"It's no joke and you're my wife!"answered her husband and stopped m.j. as she tried to leave;"Where are you going?"

"Away from here!"said m.j. still in shock while she rolled out the door;"Please don't follow me,adam,just don't!"

Around three that afternoon ginny was looked at the clock and thinking if she should leave early because she was feeling really bad,even worse then she did that morning,when lucas walked in;"What are you still doing here?"

"Working!"said ginny annoyed;"What else?"

"Not anymore!"answered her boss and pulled the papers away from ginny;"You're going home right now,ginny!"

"Why?"asked she;"It's not time yet!"

"You're sick and you should be in bed!"started lucas worried as he felt her forhead;"You're also running a fever I think,so get out of here and don't come back untill you're better!"

"You can't tell me what to do,lucas!"said his friend angry while she got up and quickly grabbed hold of the desk to prevent herself from falling down;"You can't!"

"I'm the boss,so I can tell you that you can't come back to work untill you're better again!"answered he and put his arm around ginny's waist when he saw how unsteady she was standing there at her desk;"Come on,I'll drive you home."

"No,I can drive myself home!"began ginny even more angry as she walked away,praying that she wouldn't fall down and wishing that her headache would go away;"Go to hell,lucas."

At the -mansion in Washington Karen was furious at adam;"How could you do that,adam,today of all days?"

"She knew that there was something that didn't add up,Karen,what else was I suppose to do?"asked he;"M.j. knew that there was something going on because she has feelings for me and not for aaron!"

"This is all your fault!"said Karen;"If you hadn't come downhere then she wouldn't be confused right now!"

"That isn't true and you know it,mom,m.j. must have had those feelings even before I brought adam here."started her daughter slowly;"Besides,it's good that things are coming out into the open now because this was wrong from the moment that uncle aaron made adam and his family believe that she was dead and then took her here,to a fake life."

"Don't talk about your uncle like that!"warned she her daughter angry;"He did what he did for a reason and it's not like he enjoyed going through so much effort to make it look like m.j. was dead,planting a fake body,moving her to Washington under a different identity and watching her in a coma for like 2 years,not knowing if she was ever gonna come out of it and then when she did wake up having to lie to her about everything!"

"There's nothing that can justify what he did or what you did,mom,making m.j.'s family believe that she was dead and making her believe that she was married to uncle aaron!"answered Charlie;"That was cruel and that is why I brought adam downhere when I found out about what uncle aaron had done!"

"And with what result?"asked her mother;"That m.j. is out there somewhere in a wheelchair in Washington,in total shock about finding out the truth on the day that she buried her husband."
"He wasn't her husband damn it!"said adam angry;"I'm her husband,Karen,I am!"

"I know."started she softly and the look on adam's face made her realize what she and her brother had done;"I'm sorry and I will tell you everything that I know about what my brother did and how he did it."

"We're waisting time here with this,guys,we need to find her!"answered her daughter and grabbed her keys;"Now!"

Mandy was laying in bed while devlin was sitting at the side of the bed when alison came in;"Hi,how are you feeling?"

"I'm bored."answered her sister with a faint smile;"But other then that I feel fine,ali,how about you?"

"I'm not the one who fell down the stairs and ended up with a concusion."said she with tears in her eyes;"I'm so sorry for what todd did."
"Hey,don't be,ali,because it's not your fault and you couldn't have know what was gonna happen."started mandy softly as she put her hand on alison's arm;"That jerk hurt you too."

"That son of a bitch hurt you both,mandy,so he'd better stay clear of me from now on!"began her boyfriend angry;"If he's smart he'll leave town or something."

"What are you gonna do now?"asked she and looked at her sister;"Devlin told me that you ran into todd at the apartment when you went to get some things."

"I wish I hadn't run into him and I was glad devlin was with me when I did."answered alison;"I told him that I'd be staying here for now and that I would send somebody to pick up the rest of my things."

So,are you really through with him?"started her sister curious;"Are you done with him,ali?"

"Ofcourse I am!"said she angry;"After what he did to me and to you I'm done with todd forgood."
