Ch. 10
Teresa was speechless.
"Ethan, what are you talking about?"
He looked back at Fox who was also stunned.
"Teresa, I never meant for anyone to get hurt. I never wanted to take Little Ethan away from you…"
"Then why did you?" she yelled becoming angry.
He hesitated.
"Gwen told me she would leave me if I didn't go along with her and Rebecca's plan…I don't know I guess I was just scared of losing my wife."
"That Bitch," Fox whispered under his breath.
Teresa shook her head.
"Ethan, why would you want to be with someone like that who blackmails you into doing whatever she wants? Why couldn't you just tell her no?"
Ethan sighed.
"It's complicated…"
"Well please explain it to us Ethan." Fox chimed in.
"You don't know Gwen like I do. I mean she's my wife, I know that…but she isn't someone you want to mess with…she is very controlling and very powerful."
"What do you mean powerful?"
"I mean she has ways to get what she wants…she has connections with people. What can I say, she threatened me and I was too afraid to stand up to her."
"So why now?" Teresa asked. "Why are you willing to help me now?"
"Let's just say someone really talked some sense into me the other day…made me realize that I had made the wrong choice." He looked over at Fox.
Teresa followed his gaze.
"Fox? You did that?"
"I would do anything for you Teresa."
She smiled. She didn't understand why she was so lucky to have someone love her so much.
But she didn't dare question it.
"Thank you Ethan," she finally said, breaking her gaze away from Fox.
"I'm just glad you're ok," he said smiling.
"Ok!" Fox said. "So, now that you have crossed back over to the good side, we need a plan. How are we going to get Teresa's little boy back?"
The 3 thought for a moment, trying to come up with a plan.
"Legally, the only thing I can think of is finding away to make Gwen seem like an unfit mother…then once the courts take away her parental rights, we can try and work on Teresa getting him back."
"Ethan, I could never ask you to do that to your own wife," Teresa said.
He smirked.
"I'm going to do the right thing Teresa…for once I'm going to do the right thing."
He looked at Fox, smiling.
"Let that bitch get what she deserves.
