Fox felt an array of emotions flood through him. He felt anger and jealousy when he saw Dylan's lips touch Theresa's. He desperately wanted to be in Dylan's place. Fox felt as if his heart were going to burst out of his chest. Anger, confusion, jealousy, love, hurt, and an assortment of other emotions overwhelmed him. Disappointment in himself finally sunk in as Fox realized the truth that had been in front of his eyes all along. I love Theresa. Fox shook his head and cursed himself for being a fool.

Theresa pulled back and looked at Dylan. "I think it worked." Dylan said softly.

"What?" Theresa asked in confusion. "Why'd you do that?"

"Fox was watching us. I can tell by the way he looks that he's probably realized something."

Theresa glanced at Fox. She couldn't bear to look at him because it hurt so much. She ran off again as Fox went up to Dylan.

Dylan put his hands up in defense. "You look like you're about to hit me."

"I've been thinking about it." Fox said threateningly.

"Look," Dylan said. "I only kissed her because I knew you were watching."

"You sick bast~"

"Wait a minute." Dylan interrupted. "Hear me out. You're in love with Theresa, not Whitney, and you were being a complete idiot for trying to deny your feelings for Theresa. You two are meant for each other."

"Since when did you believe in fate?" Fox asked.

"Theresa." Dylan said simply. "She has that effect on people. Now, go find her, all right?" Dylan said as he walked away.

Once Chad finally broke away from the crowd, he ran off to find Whitney. He saw her dress sparkle in the moonlight and rushed over to her.

Whitney looked up and avoided Chad's eyes. "Go away." She murmured.

"Whitney, no," Chad said leaning down on his knees. "Syd planned that. I had no idea that was going to happen. I'm so sorry baby, please, you have to believe me!" Chad pleaded. Whitney remained silent.

"I should've listened to you." Chad moaned. "You felt something bad would happen tonight to break us up, and look, it's happening." Chad bowed his head sadly. Tears fell down his cheeks. "Whitney," He cried, "I love you so much it hurts. I don't want to lose you. I don't know what I would do without you."

Whitney began crying with Chad and pulled him close to her. "I love you too," She whispered. "But I can't stand being hurt repeatedly like this."

Syd walked in on them and eyed the couple with an envious look.

"I'll quit my job if I have to." Chad said. "That way Syd can't get in between us again."

Shocked and angry, Syd rushed off to find Mr. Philips and Vivian.

"Mr. Philips, Vivian!" Syd said breathlessly. "I just overheard Chad Harris say that he wants to quit his job!"

"What?!" Mr. Philips cried. "He's one of the best we've got! What nonsense is this?" Mr. Philips and Vivian headed outside to talk to Chad.

~*~

"I love you, Chad." Whitney said hugging him tightly.

"I love you too, Whitney." Chad said.

"Mr. Harris!" Philips boomed, rudely interrupting their moment.. "What is this I hear of you quitting your job? Do you have no consideration for the company and your client? Do you know what damage you will do to Sydney's career?"

Sydney was overjoyed. Vivian stood there silent and observing.

"Syd is the reason why I choose to leave." Chad said evenly. "I don't want to work with someone who keep reeking havoc in my personal life. I almost lost my fiancé because of Syd. I won't let that happen again."

"He's lying!" Syd cried to Mr. Philips.

"Oh my God," Vivian said quietly. "I'm so ashamed of myself. I'm partly responsible for conflict in your relationship with Whitney, Chad." She said. "I had you two working so long together, I~"

"It's not your fault." Chad said softly.

"But I shouldn't have paired you and Syd up with the intent of getting you two together. It wasn't until I saw how much in love you and Whitney were that I stopped entertaining the idea of you and Syd as a couple."

"This is ridiculous." Mr. Philips said. "You know what, Vivian. I'll let you handle this. I don't need to waste my time." Philips stalked off angrily.

"Well, what do you propose we do?" Syd asked crossing her arms haughtily.

"Chad, you no longer have to work with Syd anymore. I've got other clients who will need your attention."

"What?" Syd said. "No! I won't allow it!"

"You're not the boss here, Syd. I am." Vivian said in a firm tone.

"I'll~" Syd began, "I'll sue the company!" She threatened.

"Go ahead." Vivian said in an even tone. "But you'll have one hell of a battle if you try.

"Ugh. Of all the nerve!" Syd yelled as she walked off furiously.

Whitney sighed. "Serves her right for being such a bitch."

"Gwen!" Ethan called as he rushed after her. Gwen slowed down after awhile, but never stopped moving.

"Gwen!" Ethan called again more desperately. Gwen walked down to a fountain and sat down. Ethan sat down beside her trying to catch his breath. "Gwen." He said again.

"You bastard!" Gwen yelled in anger. She pushed Ethan into the water and walked off.

"Gwen!" Ethan sputtered as he jumped out of the water. "I promise I'll be better to you and the baby!"

"I'm tired of this Ethan! Why does Theresa always interfere with our relationship? I can't take it! I think it's best if we just~ just divorce!" Gwen cried.

"No!" Ethan pleaded. "No, please don't Gwen! I swear on my life that I will be more faithful to our family!" Ethan stood pathetically, soaking wet in his tux. Gwen sat down and looked at him doubtfully.

"Gwen," Ethan kneeled in front of her. "I'm sorry for not telling you about the paternity test. I was going to tell you, but I was just afraid~" Ethan trailed off. "When I held our little girl, I felt this connection to her. It was like this confirmation that the baby was a part of me. It was the same feeling I felt when I held Little Ethan after he was born. I hated to think that Little Ethan would have to grow up with  Julian as his father. Then, the idea to have a paternity test popped up and~"

"You turned out to be the father of Theresa's son." Gwen finished.

"Yes. But just because Little Ethan's my son, it doesn't mean that I'll forget you or Samantha. Gwen, I swear to you that I will be there for you and our little girl one-hundred and ten percent. Please, honey, please tell me you believe me."

Gwen sighed. "I believe you, Ethan, but honey you and I have major relationship issues to work out. Look, since you are Little Ethan's father, you and Theresa need to talk. Figure out how you can get to spend time with your son."

"You're wonderful." Ethan said kissing Gwen on the forehead. "I love you so much."

"I love you too, Ethan, but remember, we've got a lot of things to work out."

"I know." Ethan said holding Gwen's hand. "But I promise, I'm going to make sure we work all our problems out."
