Chapter 16
Theresa didn't talk to Fox for as long as possible, whenever he called for Jacob, she would hang up the phone. If he came to their house, she wouldn't open the door. One time she had bumped into him at Crane Industries when she was there to see Jacob. She had tried to avoid eye contact but it was difficult, she loved his eyes, gorgeous brown. Fox tried to talk to her again but she refused and walked away.

Fox had called Jacob to his office and he came in.
"Hey Jacob."
"Hey, what's up?"
"Nothing much except for the fact you're going to Hawaii for a few days." Fox waited for his reaction.
"What?! Me, going to Hawaii? Why?"
"There's a client that needs to close an offer, I can't go, so I'm assuming that you could go instead.It's kind of short noticed, the flight is in two days, but with your skills, I know you can get everything done."
"Wow, I don't know what to say, I'm flattered that you want me to go.."
"Say you'll go."
Jacob grinned. "I'll go."
"Great."
Jacob walked out.
"So perhaps you won't mind me paying a few visits to your beautiful wife..."

Jacob left in two days, he would be gone for a whole week which was perfect for Fox. He had already planned everything out for what he would do to get Theresa back. He would go to her house at midnight, it would be all be excellent.
That night, Theresa wasn't coping with things very well, she had gone out to a club with some friends and gotten drunk. She tried to drown out her pain with alcohol, and it seemed to work. She didn't know how she was going to explain everything to Jaccob.She drowsily walked back to her house and opened the door.
Fox was watching her the whole time in his car, seeing that she was drunk helped him out. He quietly followed her into the house. Theresa grabbed a few advil and climbed into bed, she immediately fell asleep. Moments later she was woken up by the gentle caressings on her cheek. She opened her eyes but couldn't see straight.
"Jacob,baby, you're home so early. Aren't you supposed to be Hawaii?" she slurred.
Fox didn't know what to say, he could lie for now.
He settled himself on top of her and started kissing her passionately. He could do the explaining later.Theresa assumed that he was Jacob and kissed him back. Fox rolled her over and began tugging at her night gown.
"My, Jacob, aren't you aggressive tonight."
Fox just grunted, he didn't want to give his voice away.
Moments later, their clothes were all over the room, and they continued to make love all night long.

It was a fresh new day and Theresa just woke up, she had a major headache and couldn't think straight, all she remembered that she had gotten drunk and she went to bed early. Suddenly she realized that there was an arm around her waist and that she was naked under the covers. She felt a warm kiss on her neck.
'oh my god, please let that be Jacob' she prayed.
"Morning Gorgeous, last night was amazing." the voice said.
Theresa slowly turned around and looked into his eyes.
Fox.
"F-F-ox...No, no, tell me that we didn't....."
His grin came off his face.
"....I thought you would be happy..."
"Happy?!" the memories came flooding back, she had gotten drunk and thought she was making love to Jacob. "I thought you were Jacob! How could you take advantage of me like that?!"
"I did not, is it my fault you had gotten drunk?"
"You bastard! You KNEW I was drunk and you still...This was a huge mistake...." she shook her head fearfully and looked around the room for her clothes.
"You do not mean that, I've apologized countless times and I know you still want me Theresa."
"No, I do not! How many times do I have to tell you that?! I am happily married, with a family and it's going to stay that way. Just forget everything we ever had Fox..."
"No I can't, you meant the world to me and still do, just come back to me and we can be happy again." he placed his hands on her shoulders. "I know you have confused feelings about me, otherwise you wouldn't have gotten drunk trying to drown out all your pain..."
She looked at him in the eyes and she saw the love he still had for her.
"Fox..it was over 3 years ago, just move on...you're hurting yourself like this."
"Move on?! How can I move on when I'm still in love with you?"
Theresa shuddered by his loud voice, he noticed and calmed down, he pulled her for a hug, his head buried in her hair.
"Theresa, please, don't leave me....I need you.."
She pulled away from his and tried to look stern. "Listen to me, I don't love you anymore." but the tears were threatening to fall.
"I know you don't mean that...."
"Well believe it."
"If the issue is Jacob, I'll talk to him."
"No, it's not him...luckily he's not going to see us." she muttered.
Suddenly the door opened
"Hi Honey--I'm...."
Theresa closed her eyes praying she didn't just hear the familiar voice, she reopened them and saw Jacob.
"Jacob...this is not what it seems."
He stood there with a shocked expression on his face.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Baby, this is just a misunderstanding, I got drunk.."
"Fox! You bastard, I thought you were my friend!" he yelled.
"I'm sorry...please, it's not Theresa's fault."
"It's yours too! I knew something was up between you two, the way Fox kept looking at you Theresa."
"Jacob, aren't you supposed to be in Hawaii?" she wanted to change the subject which obviously wouldn't happen.
"Well of course you want me to be, so you can Fox can sneak behind my back. Well since you ask, the flight got delayed til next week due to weather conditions, so I stayed at the airport all night and arrived home this morning assuming that you would miss me, but it looks like you didn't." he glared at Fox.
"No, it's not like that."
"Theresa you slut!" He reached over and slapped her, making her topple over onto the bed, she regained composure and held her cheek in her hand while tears ran down her face.
"Don't you dare hit her again!" Fox exclaimed.
"And why shouldn't I? This is my house and I'll do what I want!"
"Listen, you hit her again...I swear.." Fox got up from the bed and slipped on his boxers.
"You'll what? Call your rich daddy?"
"Shut up!"
Fox rushed to Theresa's side and bent down to look at her.
"Are you alright?" he wiped the tears away with his thumb.
She nodded.
"I can't believe you would something like this to me, I trusted you, it's over!"
"No, Jacob, just let me explain, Fox ..is my ex-husband."
"And you didn't tell me?" he shook his head in disgust.
"But it's over between us.." Fox wanted to protest but this wasn't the time.
"Whatever Theresa, I'm going to get my daughter and get the hell out. Goodbye!" he yelled.
"No, Jacob!!" she had to tell him now.
He turned back and looked at her.
"Sarah isn't your daughter....."
His jaw dropped open with surprise.
"S-she's what?" he really did love Sarah.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you..."
Jacob turned red with anger.
"Whose the father?" he glared at Fox "Don't tell me he is."
Silence.
"Slut!" he raised his hand to hit Theresa again but Fox caught his hand.
"I warned you not to hit her again, get out, or I'm calling the police."
"Fine , whatever, I hate you all!" he stormed out the door cursing a lot more.
Theresa collapsed onto the bed crying, she couldn't believe that had just happened. She knew how Fox must have felt the day of their wedding. Fox didn't know what to say or do, so he just lay down next to her, he would be there for her, to hold and comfort her and most of all, to love her.
Theresa didn't talk to Fox for as long as possible, whenever he called for Jacob, she would hang up the phone. If he came to their house, she wouldn't open the door. One time she had bumped into him at Crane Industries when she was there to see Jacob. She had tried to avoid eye contact but it was difficult, she loved his eyes, gorgeous brown.
