Playing with the Devil
Watching her mother walk away from the Mansion, Theresa stops in her tracks and looks back at the house. "I have to find some way to get my daughter back, I can't give up the fight for my baby."
"It's funny you say that, Theresa, because I am the only one that can help you." A voice says suddenly.
Turning around, Theresa comes face to face with the most powerful man in Harmony. "Alistair."
"Yes, my dear?"
"What do you want?" Theresa asks cautiously.
"Well, to help you, of course. See, I know that you want your daughter back, and I'm just the man to help you."
"At what price?"
"Oh, Theresa, you wound me." Alistair says, holding his hand to his heart.
"Please, Alistair, you couldn't be hurt with a gun never mind my words."
"You know, I always loved that feistiness about you, Theresa. You are a strong willed woman, perfect for the Crane name. It's a shame that Julian divorced you."
"Alistair, whatever it is that you want, you aren't getting anything from me."
Trying to walk away, Theresa is pulled back when Alistair grabs her arm. Looking down at his hand on her arm, then up to his cold eyes, Theresa fumes. "Let go of me this instant."
"Theresa, Theresa, when will you learn? Women never say no to me." With that, Alistair pulls Theresa into a kiss, which she forces her way out of.
"Don't touch me!"
"Let me tell you something, Theresa, if you want your daughter bad enough, you'll use me to get her."
"I would rather die than make a deal with the devil."
"Are you calling me evil?"
"I call it like I see it."
"Well, Theresa, before you go, let me offer you one more incentive to getting your daughter.."
Coming Up
What bargain chip will Alistair use and will Theresa fall for it?
