Chapter 12
Things were becoming to get complicated for Fox. There were two women that he loved a lot. There was Danielle, the first love of his life. And Theresa, who meant so much to him. He didn't want hurt either of these woman, they both had done alot for him. But Fox knew he had to be fully committed to Theresa because he had asked her to marry him, and if he just backed out now, she would hate him for the rest of her life. He didn't know what dramatic things Theresa could do.
Fox loved Theresa a lot, she loved him for who he was and she never left him even though she knew what a player he had been. On the other hand, he would be lying if he said he didn't love Danielle at all. The day at the creek had changed everything. He had told her his hidden feelings. The kiss had meant so much for him. But how did he know that Danielle wouldn't just leave him again if he broke things off with Theresa?
Secretly he had been seeing Danielle late at night. He just told Theresa, he had some buisneed to attend to or that he was just really tired. He would meet Danielle at the creek where they would fool around. This made Fox feel awfully guilty.
He compared the two women. Theresa was more serious about their relationship, but he enjoyed it. She made him feel loved and wanted. With Danielle, they could be more free and relaxed, Fox felt a lot younger just like old times. This was so difficult, either way, they loved them both very much.
But he didn't have much choice. His wedding with Theresa was coming up very soon. Everytime he wanted to tell her about Danielle, she would begin to tallk about their wedding and how much she loved him. He couldn't tell her, the way she suffered over Ethan was horrible. Imagine her experiencing pain that Fox caused her would be too much.

"You may now kiss the bride" father lonigan said.
Fox grinned and leaned in a deep, passionate kiss with Theresa. They were officially husband and wife. The wedding had been beautiful. But for a few seconds, he saw Danielle's face in his mind. Now that was majorly bad, here he was marrying a woman, vowing to love her for the rest of his life and he was thinking of another woman. What kind of person was he?
Theresa and Fox marched down the aisle smiling, she squeezed his hand.
"I love you." she whispered.
"Love you too." he was telling the truth wasn't he?
________________________________
They were back at the Crane mansion, having the wedding reception party.
Fox and Theresa were dancing to a slow song, while people kept congratulating them.
Fox noticed Danielle sitting by herself at a table wearing a beautiful dress.
"Hey, Danielle is there, why don't we go say hi to her?"
"Um, sure." Since when was Fox that friendly toward Danielle?
"Hey Danielle." he called out.
She quickly stood up, smoothing out her dress, she wanted to look sexy for Fox, she flashed on a big grin.
"Hey guys, Congrats."
"Thanks." Theresa said sincerely. Though she noticed her new husband couldn't get his eyes off Danielle.
"Honey, I'm going to get a drink, you can continue talking with Danielle." she gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Sure."
Theresa walked over to the refreshment table getting a glass of wine.
Before Fox could compliment Danielle on her beauty, the door burst open. The police walked in and glanced at a paper and marched over to Danielle.
"Miss, are you Danielle Larousse?"
"Um, yes."
"Apparently we have traced down to your own house that James De Calvier died in your house, we have found the body in the park nearby."
Danielle gasped.
[i]*Flashblack*
"James! Get off me, you're drunk!"
"Come on baby, you know you want me." he slurred.
"Leave me alone!"
James grabbed her forcefully and kissed her. He began to rip the clothes off her.
"Nooo." she cried weakly
Danielle grabbed the knife from the table and stabbed him in the back.
"What have I done?" she looked down to her bloody hands.
*End of flashback* [/i]
Fox looked at Danielle surprised.
"Danielle?...is that true.." he asked hoping it was all a lie.
She broke down crying. "I didn't mean to...It was an accident."
"Miss, that's a serious crime...." the police took a pair of handcuffs out of his pocket and cuffed it around her hands.
"No, let me go!" Danielle struggled, she just wanted to be Fox's arms.
Fox looked at her seeing all the pain in her eyes, he knew it was just an accident.
The police dragged her out the door while she screamed out.
"No! I'm not leaving! Fox! Help me!"
Everyone looked toward Fox wondering what he had to do with Danielle. Fox couldn't let her get taken from him again. It had taken too long for them to get reunited.
"No, Danielle..." he whispered.
"Fox! Don't let me take me away! I need you, I love you!"
"Danielle! I love you too!" he called out, suddenly realizing he had that out loud.
There was utter silence but suddenly a glass crashed onto the floor becoming a million shattered pieces. It belonged to Theresa. She looked toward Fox hurtfully.
"Fox...?" her voice was barely a whisper.
Fox made his way through the crowd beside Theresa. He took her hand.
"Im sorry..."
That wasn't even an answer but she knew what it meant. She angrily snatched her hand away. Tears began to fall, this was supposed to be the happiest day of their life but it seemed like it would end very soon.
"How could you?"
"Theresa, Danielle was an old girlfriend of mine years ago."
She laughed bitterly. "Old? The term should be the woman you've been sneaking behind my back with."
"It's not like that."
"Oh really? Enlighten me.You think the excuse 'I'm tired' or 'I have a lot of work to do' is that believable? It only works for so long. There are countless times when I've smelt perfume on your clothes. So now, explain it your way."
Fox was speechless, this wasn't happening.
Theresa slapped him.
"You told me you loved me, I guess I was too stupid to believe that wasn't I?"
"No, listen to me."
"I don't want to, perhaps you were just pitying me the whole time."she smirked." And I actually thought you were different...different from Ethan and Julian. You were there the whole time to comfort me saying that they were fools? Look at yourself, you're going the exact same thing."
Fox looked at her shamefully, he hadn't meant to cause her so much pain.
"Why Fox, why? Couldn't you have told me? Instead we wouldn't have to go through this whole marriage crap! I have no idea why I would want to marry you. And I actually loved you? Unbelievable...."
Those words hurt his heart terribly, he did love her.
She collasped in a heap sobbing. Why couldn't God let her be happy just once? She had lost so many things in her life already. Fox gently out his arms around her but she just moved away from him. He could hear Danielle's whimperings begging for him to go back to her, but he didn't care nor want to. Nothing mattered at the moment, except for getting Theresa to understand him, but that seemed unlikely to happen anytime soon.
Ethan who had been quiet through all this came by Theresa's side and gently rubbed her arms. Gwen and Theresa were friends now, but who wouldn't get jealous when their men touched other women. Gwen glared at Ethan but didn't say anything.
Seeing Ethan touch his woman unappropriately was very disturbing.
"Ethan, back off man! I can take care of her."
"It doesn't look like it, considering you're the one who's causing her all this pain."
"She's MY wife, so if you don't mind, you can go back to Gwen."
"Apparently husband's don't sneak behind their wife's back."
Fox knew Ethan was right. He hadn't even considered Theresa's feelings, how selfish of him. Theresa stood wiping her tears with her sleeve.
"How could just throw away all our happiness away like this? But I guess just as long as you get more women into bed with you, no one's happiness matters but yours!"
"Please..."
"If only I hadn't fallen in love with you..."
"Don't say that, Theresa..."
Theresa took the ring off her finger and threw it at his chest watching it fall to floor with a small clank.
"Everything we had, would've had is over.And to think I believed you everytime you said you loved me. Once a player always a player."
She couln't believe it was over between them. She lifted her shoulders and faced him once more.
"I'll stay if you can tell me you don't love Danielle."
He couldn't say anything , he couldn't lie, it turned into too many problems.
"I knew it..it's over between us...actually over..If i thought one relationship would end up good, I thought it would be with you..but I guessed wrong."
"No! You won't leave me, you can't ..."
"Watch me!"
She marched off toward the door. Fox was about to run after her.
"If you even consider going after me, you're going to be seeing that dead body of that blonde over there, very soon." she threatened. Fox backed off, Theresa was a woman who was true to her words.
Theresa opened the door and was about to step out but turned around once more. Fox looked at her hopefully.
"You said meeting me was the best thing that happened in your life, but meeting you was the worst in mine!" she slammed the door shut leaving the room in silence.
Tears slowly went down his face...he was crying....a thing he never did. Nothing could change what had just happened. There was one thing he wanted so desperately that would make him smile...and it was if his angel Theresa would come back to him.
Things were becoming to get complicated for Fox. There were two women that he loved a lot. There was Danielle, the first love of his life. And Theresa, who meant so much to him. He didn't want hurt either of these woman, they both had done alot for him.
