One week later
Michelle had watched everyone on her surveilance cameras that her team set up in the mansion. For five years, she watched everything, and noted everything that happened in that house, so she knew everything, and who was doing what when and in what room. Her boss wanted to go after the Cranes, and he needed the right evidence. So she thought if making a deal with the devil himself, not only would she save Sheridan, but arrest everyone involved in their devious schemes.
She watched Rebecca and Gwen talk about Theresa and Fox.
"That poor girl, that's ok, I'll get them for you, they were the death of my relationship with my love, but not for you. At least if he's not with me, let him be happy with you".
They continued to talk, and she listened.
"She never quits. By next year, she'll be the Crane Whore". Gwen said.
"I know, at least we have the rings on our fingers. But we still need to do something that is more permenant", Rebecca said.
Ethan overheard, and he was shocked. He knew something was up, but he was still fuming from the sight of Theresa and Fox. He decided talking with Sam would be best.
Michelle looked at her watch, and saw that it was time to meet with Sam Bennett. Her boss wanted her to inform him on the operation, and verify if he could cooperate in the night that they were planning to bust everyone.
Leaving, she didn't see him leave to his father's home.
He was leaving to his father's home, and his mind began to wonder. It wondered to someone he thought of someone he was searching for in both Theresa and Gwen.
FLASHBACK
"Ethan, I do love you, but I'm saving myself until we get married", she said.
"Alright, I can accept that . It will be hard, but I can deal with it. It helps that it will always be you", he responded.
"Maybe, you know that your family wants you to marry Gwen. I know that we have to sneak aorund to be together, but I don't like sneaking. What makes it worse is that we are both from the same backrounds, but since I'm african-american, it's not right", she sadly stated.
" We WILL be together", he said hugging her.
"Just remember, even if you marry Gwen or anyone else, I will always love you. Don't forget that", she said into his chest.
Not noticing he pulled up to Sam's home, he saw his mother from the window. She was still shocked to see the one girl who was better than Gwen and Theresa. She had tendencies of both women, and was very lovely. She was talking to Sam about something to do with police work.
Michelle Bradford.
Ethan walked in to se his mother first.
"Mother, how are you?", he said hugging her.
"Good, how are you, I heard about Gwen, I'm sorry", she countered.
"I've seen better, but I'm good, and she's still good. Is dad home, I wanted to talk to him about something", he said looking around.
"Yes, he's in the kitchen talking to an old friend of yours", she quietly noted.
" Mine? Who, because if it's Chads, I told him....", he started as he walked into the kitchen.
Walking into the kitchen, he sees the woman, he wanted to be with for the rest of his life.
"Ethan, HI, this is...", Sam started.
"Michelle Bradford-Smith. I know her well", he breathed out.
"It's just Bradford now", she added looking away.
Ivy came up tp Sam and grabbed him. She approved of this relationship, and wanted it badly to happen. It was like Sam and her, and she thought the Cranes would like it too, since they would profit, but sine she was black, they, meaning Alistair and Juilian said no. It was as if they took her son's heart away. He was never the same after that.
"Come on, I'll explain in the other room", she said pulling on Sam.
Sam walked out confused. He knew something was up.
Ethan approached her, continuing to be shell-shocked. It was as if she came back form the dead.
"Michelle, wow. You are as stunning as the last time I saw you", he said kissing her hand.
"Thanks, you're just as handsome as I last seen. How's Gwen?", she asked.
"Ok, what about Steven?", he countered.
"He's gone to China, on his honeymoon with his secretary", she said.
"Oh", he said bitterly.
He showed sadness for her, but secertly, he was estasticed for her being single.
"Look, Ethan, I'm going to be honest with you, I came here to give you some information. In this package is some news I thought you may want to know. Whether you want to believe it or not is up to you. I just thought you deserved to know. Just promise me something", she said.
"Anything", he walked closer to her.
"Talk to Theresa, she will need you", she said.
"But....", he asked confused.
"No, trust me, go with your heart. Meet me at the mansion later. I will be there, and we'll talk", she backed away.
"Gwen will be there, that may not be a good idea", he approached again.
"Just trust me".
"Alright, but we will talk, I've missed you", he said inching closer.
Michelle backed up and tried to walk away. He ran to block her. Feeling her scent again was intoxicating him all over again. He wanted to kiss her like old times, in her dorm, late at night. Their eyes met and he caressed her face. She closed her eyes to absorb that feeling. He inched closer and then she backed away opening her eyes.
"Where are you going?", he said frustrated.
"To see Luis", she said almost out the door.
"What for, you don't know him?", he asked confused.
"It's for Sheridan", she walked back to him.
"You know where she is?", he said excited.
"Ethan, if you still love me, just trust me, you will kow everything in due time", she explained.
"Um, ok, well what time should we meet up", he continued.
"We'll meet up at the cafe, around 7. Luis and I will fill you in on everything, ok?", she said.
"Alright. I thought you didn't like sneaking around?"
"Well this time is for a good cause. One thing after I....I mean we tell you, you have to help us, ok?', she explained.
"OK, deal, but we still need to talk".
"I know, just read everything first, alright?"
She handed him a yellow envelope, and his hands connected with hers. It was electricifying and their eyes met.
"Ok", he breathed out.
"Read this here, then meet us", she continued.
With that she disappered to her car. He felt as bad as the day they were tore apart.
