Realizing the Truth
The next morning, Ethan goes to Theresa's house to spend the day with her.
"So, baby, what do you want to do today?" Ethan asks, as he cuddles with Theresa on her bed.
"Well, as much as I would love to spend the day cuddling with you, I think should get Chad and Whitney, and see if the four of us can come up with any ideas to find out the truth as to who sold out your mother's secrets to the tabloid.
"Sounds good. How about I call them and have them meet us at the Book café?"
"Sounds like a plan." They share a kiss as Theresa climbs off the bed and gets on the phone.
(After the phone call)
"Okay, Chad and Whitney agree to team up with us, and find out the truth!"
As Theresa talks, she notices a pensive look on Ethan's face.
"Baby, what are you thinking?"
"How could someone stoop so low to reveal the truth, Theresa? I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm so glad I'm not a Crane anymore. Sam and I are doing great together with our father/son relationship. It's just...being a Crane was all I knew at one point. Why would someone gain pleasure out of exposing secrets?"
Theresa hugs Ethan, and then looks into his blue eyes. "Ethan, I don't know why the person or persons who spilled the beans were hell bent on exposing the truth. What I do know is whether your name is Crane, Bennett, Winthrop or Smith, I love you for who you are on the inside. You are one of the most caring, honest, trusting, respecting men I have ever known. And now, I have the privilege of loving you for the rest of my life as your wife."
Ethan caresses her face lightly. "God, I love you."
"And I love you."
(At the Café)
"Hey guys!" Chad greets Ethan and Theresa, as the two couples sit at a table.
"Okay, so here is what we know. We know that Theresa did not spill the beans to the tabloid. We know that whoever did called that morning to make sure that the tabloid was out that day could not have been Theresa to start with since we were together that day. Theresa and Ethan look at each other, as a smile forms on their faces as they remember that day.
"Okay, guys, back to the present, please!" Whitney says, as the four of them laugh.
"Okay, sorry. Anyway, as I was saying, whoever leaked to the tabloid leaked through Theresa's computer, which means that it came from the Crane mansion, since that is where Theresa always had her computer for work reasons."
"Well, we can eliminate the maids and butlers, right?" Whitney asks curiously.
"Yup, they'd be fired on the spot by Julian." Ethan confirms.
"Okay, let's think then. It couldn't be Ivy, obviously, because she would never want her important secrets to be revealed that way." Theresa supplies.
"Which leaves only two people..." Chad says.
"Rebecca and Gwen!" Ethan and Theresa say simultaneously.
"It has to be, Ethan, think of it: You chose Theresa over Gwen the first time, Rebecca plays on Gwen's emotions, they snoop on Theresa's computer, and boom, they find their "revenge" if you will on Theresa." Whitney says as she thinks the plan through.
"How could they stoop so low though?" Ethan asks.
"It's simple, my man. They were so desperate to get you to marry Gwen so that a Crane-Hotchkiss merger could take place, that they'd felt they could do anything and everything to get you back to Gwen."
Ethan looks at Theresa slowly, thinking of what he's heard. "It's a possibility. But how can we prove it?"
"We have to somehow catch them in a conversation about it. Wait, aren't there cameras everywhere in the mansion?" Theresa asks.
"Yes, there are. Alistair and Julian would always watch over everything that happens in the rooms at the mansion.
"Well, maybe the tape is still there from that time, and maybe it will show who tampered with my computer?"
"Wow. I never thought of that. How about this, Chad and I will go to the security office at the mansion, and we can meet up with you lovely ladies afterwards, and then maybe we can finally put all this behind us?"
"Agreed."
(Hours later)
Ethan and Chad come back to Theresa's house, and discuss all they've learned.
"We have to call Luis and Sam, get them over to the mansion. I can't believe that Rebecca and Gwen are the ones that did this to me and my mother! What did they think they would gain from this?"
"Ethan, I know you're hurting. IF you want me to leave you alone, I will?" Theresa asks.
"No, baby. I never want to be separated from you again. You have been with me through all the good and bad in my life. From now on, we are going to be happy. I love you, Theresa."
"And I love you, Ethan. Never forget that."
"I won't."
"Come on, guys, lets get these two women behind bars."
The two couples drive over to the mansion, where they are met up with Luis and Sam. The couples share the information, and Luis and Sam charge into the mansion, and arrest Rebecca and Gwen. As they come out handcuffed, they stare at Theresa.
"You bitch! You'll never get away with this!" Rebecca yells.
"Ethan was MINE, Theresa! And so help me, I'll get him back!"
"Not on your life, Gwen. Goodbye!" Ethan yells as he holds Theresa close to his body.
Once they leave, Ethan and Theresa are assured by Sam that they will be put away for life.
"It's over baby, it's finally over!" Ethan says as he kisses Theresa.
"Now, we can concentrate on our future."
"Our future." Ethan repeats as he kisses Theresa again.
