Chapter 27:
Revelation
A/N: Sorry it's late, my computer didn't save the document so, I had to write it over.
*Note: This chapter will take place after the prologue so, I'd advice you read it to revise your memory.
"Theresa, honey have you read that letter, Fox left you ?", Kathelina asked.
"No, I'm afraid to, what if he hates me ? What if he regrets ever getting involved with me ?", Theresa asked.
"No, Theresa, he doesn't…ok, he gave me that letter when everything was peaceful. He told me he had a feeling, things weren't going to be good for long.", Kathelina replied.
"What made him think that ? Did he know something ?", Theresa asked.
" I don't know, all he told me was if something was to happen for me to give you that paper and he made me swear not to read it.", Kathelina replied.
"I'll read it, but I hope it's not what I think it is."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Theresa,
I know you and you probably thought this was some sort of note to say how much I hate you and the fact were married, but it you couldn't be more wrong. I wrote actually to tell you the opposite.
Theresa, I was blessed, to have had you, yes it may have start out as a selfish act to get what I want. But, everything changed…I fell in love with you, no matter how hard I tried not to I did.
I cherish, every moment we had together. Yes, we had our bad times but, through it all you remanded strong. I need you to stay strong for not only your sake but, for everyone else. Theresa, I made a promise along time ago, to never leave you, and I never will I'll remain forever in your heart. All you got to do is close your eyes and I'll be there.
~~~Fox~~~
Theresa sit there soaking in what she just read, he couldn't die. 'God, please don't take him, not yet, I need him, this baby needs him. God, just given us one more chance…that's all I'm asking. Let him finally have the life he always deserved.', she pray.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Fox, you lost…Theresa's better off without you. Yes, she'll grieve but, eventually she'll get over it. It may take month, years, but don't worry half brother, I'll take real good care of her and her child. The baby will never have to know you're his father. With luck he won't get any of your character traits.", Ethan said stand over Fox's bed. "Darus, really did a good job, you'll be dead in hours and then Theresa will be mine."
"Ethan ? What are you doing here ? Lord knows you hated him…You did everything to make his and Theresa's life a living hell.", Kathelina fumed. "Get Out !!! Fox, wouldn't want you here and I sure as hell don't."
"Rena, are you going to deprive me of a good bye to my dear half brother ?", Ethan asked.
"Ethan ? What kind of sick game are you playing ? Do you really think, Theresa's going to forget about Fox ? Come on, dead or alive Fox will always be in her heart.", Kathelina replied.
"That never crossed my mind, I'm worried just as much as you are.", Ethan lied. "Why would I wish death on anybody, much less my half brother ?"
"I don't know, but I swear if you had anything to do with what happened to Nicholas you'll pay. I'll make sure you do.", Kathelina replied.
"Rena, it's good to see just whom you care more about.', with that Ethan left.
"Fox, come on. You can't let him win you got to show him, nothing not even something that seems un possible to survive, will keep you and Theresa apart. You got to fight…come on your too strong to die like this.", Kathelina pleaded. "Foxworth, you finally have everything going for you. A wife that loves you, a little boy whom adores you and a baby who will make the bond between you and Theresa even stronger.", she added.
"Kat, can I…can I set with him ?", Theresa asked.
"Yeah, honey, of course.", Kathelina said getting up and walking out of the room.
"Fox, I read your letter, I can't stay strong, with out you I'm nothing. You said no matter what I stayed strong. Do you know why, I stayed strong ? I had you, you are my heart, my soul, without you I'd be lost.
I can't live without you. I need you to be here…I want to raise our kids together. Little Ethan adores you, he told me once he wanted to be just like you when he got older. Fox, please come back to me we've over came so much already.", Theresa pleaded. "Please, Foxworth just open your eyes.", Theresa said caressing his hand.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"How's Fox ?", Julian asked.
"The same. Dad, he looks pretty beat up. The nurse said, 'that he had a cracked rib and a 2 breaks in his right arm'."
"Katherine, all we can do now, is pray and have faith that God will bring him back to all of us.", Julian advised.
"Dad, I just don't get it.", Kathelina began. "Fox is and excellent driver. Yeah, he may have been drinking but, it takes a lot to get him drunk, so drunk that he's mind impaired."
"True, Katherine what are you saying ?", Julian asked.
"I'm saying someone set this up ? Come on dad, you know just as well as I do that Nick has a lot of enemies.", Kathelina replied. "And him being a Crane, yet alone the heir…It's highly likeable."
Flashback
"Whit, you couldn't have been more right.", Ethan mumbled.
"Well, from the way I see it Ethan can't do nothing to them. Theresa pregnant with Fox's child and there as close as ever.", Kathelina replied.
"Yeah, Ethan didn't pull them apart in fact he pulled them closer.", Whitney agreed.
"Not, for long, once I'm done they'll be no Fox and no baby.", Ethan mumbled to himself.
End Of Flashback
"Ethan.", Julian said more to himself. "Katherine, do you think it's possible that…", Julian began.
"That he wanted Fox dead so he could have Theresa all to himself ?", she finished. "Very possible."
"So, how would we go about proving so ?", Julian asked.
"I don't know, but there's got to be some sort of way.", Kathelina said picking her brain for an idea.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Theresa sat there with her hand in his. "Fox, come on please just open your eyes come back to me.", Theresa pleaded. "Fox ? Come on open your eyes, I'm so sorry for what I said earlier. I'll never leave, I don't want to be nowhere with out you. Fox, you were never my substitute for Ethan. I love you, not because you're a Crane, or because you're rich, or because your Ethan's brother. I love you for just being you. So, please Fox if you hear me come back to me, I can't lose you now that I finally found you."
Theresa sat there not caring that tears were coming down her cheeks.
She felt him squeeze her hand. "Fox!!! You heard me didn't you? So, please just come back don't leave me here in this world alone."
"Theresa.", he moaned.
"I'm right here.", Theresa said tears streaming down her face.
"Where am I ?", Fox asked.
"You're at the hospital, you were in an serious accident.", Theresa replied with a sigh of relief. 'He is ok, he came back.'
Flashback
"Get out, now damn it. You got what you wanted. Theresa loves you, not me.", Fox replied.
"Yeah, that's what I've been telling you for years. Now, that the secrets out I'll tell you a little secret…", Ethan began. "That's probably my baby she's caring.", Ethan lied. 'Oh hell what will it hurt he'll be dead just a soon as he gets in that car.'
"What ?", Fox yelled.
"She and me have been having an affair…she comes over every night about 2 and we have…", Ethan began.
"Fuck You.", Fox exclaimed.
"No, that's what your wife's been doing.", Ethan replied smugly.
"Shut up, you selfish bastard.", Fox said grabbing him by the shirt collar and punching him in the face.
"The truth hurts doesn't it ?", Ethan asked getting up off the floor. "Why don't you just leave ? Get in your car and drive to the airport and catch the first plan out of here to where ever you want."
End Of Flashback
"Resa, how could you ?", Fox asked.
"How could I what ? Fox, what are you talking about ?", Theresa asked.
"Don't act like I'm stupid Resa. Ethan told me about you two.", Fox replied.
"What ? Ethan ? What did he say ? ", Theresa asked.
"He said that…", Fox began. "Ouch, he said, 'that you and him had been having an affair and that you were carried his child'.", Fox finished winching in pain.
"His child ?", Theresa repeated. Fox nodded. "He's the biggest liar, Fox you've got to believe me when I say you're the only man I've been with since we were married and you're all I want or will ever want.", Theresa replied.
"Then why'd Ethan say that ?", Fox said more to himself.
"I don't but, I'm sure as hell going to find out.", Theresa began.
"Find out what ?", Kathelina asked.
"Why Ethan would lie about us having an relationship.", Theresa replied.
"I'm felling great, thanks for asking.", Fox said getting her attention.
"Oh My God!!! You're awake.', Kathelina said walking over rapping her arms around him. "When did you wake up .", she added.
"About 10 minutes ago, and yes Ms. Katherine I was going to have Resa tell you.", Fox replied.
"Ok, so I'll…we'll being going. You really need your rest.", Theresa replied. "I'll be back later, I promise."
"Katherine, what's up ? I mean you came in there to tell me something and I have a feeling that Ethan is some how involved.", Theresa asked once they were outside Fox's room.
"Theresa, I have a felling that Ethan had something to do with or knows something about what happened with Nick. Like I was telling Julian earlier Fox hasn't ever got that drunk….", Kathelina began.
"I agree, and I do think your right. That Ethan has everything to do with what happened tonight.". Theresa replied.
"What was you talking about earlier, what did Ethan tell Fox about you two?". Kathelina asked.
"He told Fox that I was pregnant with his baby and that we had, was, are, having an affair.", Theresa replied.
"What ? Oh My God!!! Ethan, Ethan tried to have Fox killed.", Kathelina said shocked by her realization.
"What ? Katherine, do you know what you're saying ?", Theresa asked. 'Yeah, Ethan has changed but, would he really try to kill his own brother ?'
"Yeah, I do. Everything adds up, Ethan telling Fox about you're health condition, then you two get in a fight and what does he do he goes and fills Fox's head with a bunch a lies and then Fox gets in that accident and well what Ethan said earlier to Nick. He planned this.", Kathelina replied.
"But, how do we find out for sure ?", Theresa asked.
"Alistair, he's got the whole house under severance.", Kathelina replied.
