Ethan paced up and down the front of the new hotel in Harmony. He couldn't believe that he had actually come back to Harmony. After all of the heartache that he had endured here you would think that he would have left for good; but no he couldn't. He always believed that he was doing the noble thing when he married Gwen. He thought that he was doing the right thing by giving Sara a real family with a mother and a father that loved her. After her death, he felt so guilty about how he let his relationship with Theresa flourish again that he made a promise to never leave Gwen. So after ten years of blissful marriage, or so he thought, he couldn't get over how Gwen and her mother had been manipulating him from the beginning.
Here he thought that Gwen was the innocent bystander in all of this only to find out that she was nothing but a manipulative bitch like her mother. He gave up his future with Theresa and their son just so that he could make Gwen happy. She had pressured him into making sure that he paid no child support and had cut his ties with Theresa. Now Theresa hated him more than ever and he was stuck being married to a spoiled bitch. He had never really thought of her as being that spoiled but after what he had heard of her tonight calling her spoiled was being much too nice.
Gwen had made him feel guilty for killing Sara; but she wasn't even his little girl. She was someone else's daughter. Gwen probably had a one-night stand with one of her business associates in NY. Gwen came between his and Theresa's chance at finally being happy and she had killed his potentially half brother or sister. The pain and anger he was feeling was driving him crazy and it wasn't about to get any better.
"So you must feel like an idiot." Fox said to him.
"Go away." Ethan said.
"No big bro, I don't have to go anywhere. So how does feel knowing that your wife is nothing but a whore." Fox said.
"She's not a whore." Ethan said.
"Well then what is she? An innocent bystander in this whole mess. Face it man, she and her mother screwed you over big time. She destroyed your chance at inheriting the Crane money and power, she destroyed your relationship to Theresa, and she conveniently got pregnant right before you were about to propose to Theresa." Fox said.
"I know what she did. Fox, just go away. You would never understand what it's like to try and do the right thing." Ethan said.
"You know Ethan everyone things you are this noble righteous person who's only trying to do the right thing but all you are is an insipid coward. Don't ever try to tell me how I don't know what the right thing is when you yourself have no clue at all. If anything I'm a much better person then you'll ever be. Why don't you go back to your room and sleep on that little statement." Fox said and walked away.
Gwen sat in her dark cold hotel room crying. How could Theresa do this to her and her family. Yes she was thinking of leaving Ethan but she wasn't sure if she could actually leave him. Now that the truth was out, he would be the one leaving her. Theresa had done it again. She had destroyed her and Ethan's happiness all because she needed a little revenge against her. This was all Theresa's fault; no one else's. Theresa made her send the email to the tabloid, she made her poison her that night, and she made her loose her precious baby girl Sara. It was all of Theresa's fault. Gwen heard her door open and quickly picked her head up.
"Mother, it's you." Gwen said.
"Well who else were you suspecting Gwen." Rebecca said.
"I thought that Ethan might have come back after he took off at dinner tonight." Gwen said.
"Listen honey, I know how upsetting this whole situation with Theresa has been but I don't think you will have to worry about loosing Ethan." Rebecca said.
"Why shouldn't I be worried about loosing him?" Gwen said.
"There is no way he's going to give up on a marriage that has lasted ten years and that has produced four kids. Not to mention that you are about to have twins soon." Rebecca said.
"Not for another three months mother." Gwen replied back.
"So does that really matter? Gwen if Ethan wanted to be with Theresa he would have gone back to her. He wouldn't have stayed committed to you." Rebecca said.
"I guess we'll soon find out." Gwen said.
"Well, I'm going to bed. I'll see you in the morning dear." Rebecca said.
"Good night mother." Gwen replied.
Gwen heard another knock at her door. When she opened it, she found Theresa standing outside the door.
"Well, well, well, look who's here the little tramp." Gwen said.
"Well Gwen, it seems that after your little secrets came flying out tonight, everyone seems to agree that your the tramp. So let me guess, Ethan got tired of you and decided to bail on you." Theresa said.
"No he's out on a walk." Gwen said.
"From what I saw it looked like he was sprinting out of here." Theresa said.
"I'm not surprised that he's mad after you tried to ruin his life again." Gwen said.
"I didn't have to do anything; you did that all on your own. What kind of person leaves their diary on a disk for someone else to read? Gwen you are pathetic and soon I'll get everything I always wanted and you and your mother can count on not liking it at all." Theresa said and then walked out of her room.
