Chapter 18:
All night Theresa was crying. She had to protect her family. She had lost Fox in order to do that. She couldn't tell Fox about Ethan's death threat. Fox would be terrified or hate Theresa. He does now.
"Oh Lord when will I find my one true love?" Theresa said tearfully looking up at the ceiling.
Suddenly a white glow came upon Theresa's room. Theresa looked away as it was so bright. When she looked back she saw a young girl with a white robe on staring at her with loving eyes.
"Do not be afraid Theresa." the girl said, it was the Angel Girl.
"How can I not be afraid? I lost Fox, and Ethan might kill my family!"
"Tell the truth Theresa. It is the right thing to do."
"No! I can't risk losing mama or anyone for that matter!"
"Your family will be fine. God is looking after them. All you need to do is tell Fox and Gwen the truth, that you lied to protect your family. It's completly understandable Theresa. I'm 100% sure Fox will understand."
"If God is protecting my family then how come Antonio is in jail and how come Ethan raped me and now I'm in hospital?"
"There are many things you do not understand. These things happen for a reason."
"I don't understand."
"I didn't expect you to. Please just take God's advice. Do Good not bad."
The Angel girl vanishes.
"Please come back I have so much more to ask you!"
Those words kept on haunting Theresa for days. 'Do Good not Bad.'.
Theresa sighed as Dr Russell came in.
"Right Theresa you can go home today."
"Thank God. Dr Russell can I ask you something?"
"Certainly."
"My mama's not been herself lately. Do you know why?"
"She's probably under a lot of stress that's all."
"Oh. She's been going pale and that. Is she well, I mean she's not sick is she?"
"Errr. No Theresa she's fine."
"I just had the feeling she was keeping something from me."
"Pilar would never lie to you Theresa. She's a good woman."
"Can I go home now Dr Russell?"
"Sure, Just let me get you some medication to control your blood pressure. You may get dressed while I'm gone."
Lopez Fitzgerald Home:
Theresa has just arrived home and talking to her family.
"I'm so glad to be home again!"
The doorbell rings.
"I'll get it." Luis said as he got up to answer the door.
"These are for Ms Theresa Lopez Fitzgerald." a man said to Luis as he handed him a big bunch of roses.
"Thank you." Luis said as he shut the door.
"Theresa!"
"Luis... Oh my God."
"Their for you."
Theresa gasps "Their so beautiful! Who are they from?"
"Don't know."
"Terrisita theres a little note."
"Oh there is to." she opens the note.
"Dear Theresa, I love you with all my heart. Will you marry me?" Theresa stares at the note.
"Oh my God! Fox wants to marry me! I have to tell him my answer! I'm going to marry Fox Crane!" Theresa screamed running out of the house and over to the Crane Mansion.
Crane Mansion:
"Well Gwennie I'm glad Fox has finally broken up with Theresa."
"So am I mother. She lied about Ethan raping her. How could she do that to Ethan?"
"Ahh the mysteries of life."
"Fox!" Theresa yelled as she ran into the mansion.
"Err Excuse me Theresa but do you want to go to jail again?" Rebecca said smiling.
"Wheres Fox? I need to talk to him!"
"Fox doesn't love you Theresa."
"Fox! Fox!"
"Theresa? What are you doing here?" he said coming downstairs.
"Yes Fox I will marry you!"
"What? Theresa what are you talking about?"
"Those flowers, the card saying you wanted to marry me. Yes Fox I will marry you!"
"Theresa I didn't send you any flowers, or propose. It's over remember?"
"But what about the card?"
"It must of been from someone else."
"What? Someone else? But Fox... I don't understand who would want to propose to me?"
"I don't know but it wasn't me."
"Ethan."
"Why would Ethan want to propose? Your still married."
"No. We've signed the divorce papers."
"Then maybe Ethan still loves you."
"Well I don't love him, Fox are you sure you didn't send that card. I mean you could of forgotten-"
"Theresa stop! Your only in for more heartbreak. I mean it's not like your pregnant."
"Oh."
Rebecca laughs.
"Seriously Theresa you thought Fox would actually propose to you? You Theresa Lopez Fitzgerald?"
Rebecca laughs again.
"Please leave Theresa." Fox said pointing to the door.
Theresa left humiliated. She actually thought that Fox wanted to marry her. Instead she had a secret admirer. It was probably Ethan.
"Got my card Theresa?" Theresa turned around and saw Ethan standing there smiling.
