Chapter 33: Trying to Escape Him
"This is the last time I'm telling you Fox! Teresa and your kids are not here!" Dylan was screaming to Fox who was on the other end of the phone.
"You're lying to me Dylan!"
"Why would I do that? I have nothing to gain or lose from your problems."
"Where is Teresa?"
"Am I her keeper?"
"It damn well seems like it."
"She's not here."
"I'm coming over there and I swear if she's there I'll kill you."
"Like hell you will." Dylan slammed the phone back onto the receiver and turned around to face Teresa who was standing behind him shaking. Dylan stared at Teresa and said, "Get your stuff. We have to go and fast."
Teresa didn't even reply. She nodded and quickly followed his orders.
*~*~*~*
"Dylan, I'm scared."
"Of what?" Dylan asked Teresa who was sitting in the seat besides him in the car.
"Fox."
"Why? I'm here and he's never going to hurt you again."
"Dylan?"
"Yeah."
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"Helping me out like this."
"Don't mention it."
"No really Dyl, thanks so much."
"I said don't mention it Teresa. It's not a problem okay? I'm doing it because I want to."
Teresa nodded and sighed as she looked at the palm trees as they passed them. Dylan had used his private jet to take Teresa and her kids to Palm Springs, California. Teresa looked at Dylan, "Things are so beautiful here."
"Just like you."
Teresa turned her head towards Dylan and said, "What?"
"Sorry. I forgot . . . no hitting on Fox's lady. I forgot."
Teresa laughed, "I never said that."
Dylan laughed back, "I know. I thought it would be funny since you look so serious."
"Serious? How so?"
"I don't know. You seem so distant."
"Well, I'm not."
"Anyway, Teresa, do you have a passport?"
"For what?"
"You and the kids, just in case."
"No."
"Well, that's the first thing we're doing when we get to the house."
"House?"
"Penthouse, beach house, party house, family house, whatever you want to call it, it has bedrooms and bathrooms so its good enough."
"I'm sure a Banning wouldn't let money go to waste."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, is this house furnished and used by the Bannings?"
"Yeah why?"
"Nah, it's nothing. Now, I know I'll be living in luxury."
Dylan laughed, "You work at Crane Industries sweetheart and date Fox Crane. I think you'd know luxury by now. The Cranes do it the best."
"I quit that job."
"What? When? Why?"
"I quit the job in my 6th month of pregnancy because I wanted to be with Fox and our child."
"I see that worked out well."
Teresa laughed, "So very well."
*~*~*~*~*
"So should I go after them?"
"Yes, Fox (Mark). Drive her away as far as possible and you bring those little Crane heirs back to me." Alistair replied.
"What about Dylan and Teresa?"
"Kill them."
*~*~*~*~*
NEXT CHAPTER: Fox (the real one) tries to contact Dylan. Teresa and Dylan are getting closer and Dylan is getting closer to the kids (Ariel and Lucia).
Review please.
