Chapter 1--Finding out the Truth
It was a typical day for Ethan Winthrop: Rising early in the morning to head to work, and is still at work at 8 pm. He refuses to go to his home, because he would rather look at a dog then his wife, Gwen. Lately, the two have had marital problems, resulting in constant arguments, glass throwing, and separate bedroom arrangements.
Sighing, Ethan opens his desk drawer, and takes out a picture of his one true love.
"Oh, Theresa, where did I go wrong?" He asks the picture, and of course, not receiving a response.
Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald could do no harm in Ethan's eyes. She was the love of his life for so long, and yet, due to family obligations at the time everyone thought him to be a Crane, he was forced to marry Gwen Hotchkiss. After the truth was revealed that Ethan was Sam Bennett's son, he was ready to pick Theresa as his bride, until Gwen approached him with the news of her pregnancy. Opting to do the right thing, as he was brought up learning, Ethan broke off his relationship with Theresa, and married Gwen. Ethan would never forget the look of hurt and sadness that crossed Theresa's face when he broke it off with her.
Flashback
"But Ethan, we can still be together! Don't let this obstacle get in our way!" An optimistic Theresa tried to explain to Ethan.
"Theresa, I can't. I need to marry Gwen. It's only the right thing to do." Ethan said as he stared into the eyes of the one woman he never wanted to hurt, but was forced to.
Back to the Present
While staring at the picture, Ethan thinks outloud. "Oh, Theresa, if only things were different."
Seeing the clock flashing the time of 9pm, Ethan decides to call it a day, and head home. He laughs ironically as he realizes that the only "home" he wants to be in is Theresa's.
"One day..." Ethan thinks to himself.
When Ethan arrives home after his long day of work, he notices the music blasting, and clothes strewn everywhere. "What the hell?" He thinks to himself as he starts walking through his house carefully.
"Baby, don't worry, that twit Ethan will never find out I'm having an affair! He is too stupid to realize anything! He'll never realize I just married him to get that bitch Theresa away from him! And the idiot thinks I was pregnant! What a laugh!"
"Get out of my house, Gwen!" Ethan suddenly yells, as he stands in the living room, watching his "wife" on the phone discussing Theresa.
"Gotta go, bye baby." Gwen hangs up the phone. "Ethan, darling, I'm so glad you're back!" Gwen attempts to hug Ethan, and is knocked to the floor by his sudden movement away.
"You bitch! First, you have an affair behind my back, and then you call me all these names, and on top of all, you have played me for a fool this entire time! What gives, Gwen, what the hell possessed you to mess up my life?!" Ethan screams as he tries to control his anger.
"Oh, get over it, Ethan, this was the only way I could get Theresa away from you. Quite clever, if I do say so myself." She laughs, as Ethan gets madder by the second.
"You have five minutes to pack your things and move out, or else." Ethan warns as he feels his blood boil.
"Or else what, Ethan? What are you gonna do, call the cops on me?" Gwen asks curiously.
"Watch me." Ethan grabs the phone, and places a call to Harmony P.D. "Hi, Dad, it's Ethan. Look, you need to come over to my house. I need you to arrest Gwen for adultery, lying, deceiving..." Ethan vents to his father, Chief of Police Sam Bennett, in hopes that his life will finally become better.
"On my way, son." Sam says as he hangs up the phone.
"Get ready, you bitch, The police are on their way to get you." Less then five minutes later, Sam comes to personally arrest Gwen and take her away.
"Ethan, I am so sorry this happened. What are you going to do now?" Sam asks his son curiously.
"What I should have done a long time ago, Dad, I'm getting my woman, Theresa, if she'll have me."
"Good luck, son."
"Thanks, dad, I'm going to need it...."
