Confronting the Enemy
"You bastard!" Ethan says, as he punches Alistair, causing him to fall down the stairs.
"Ethan!" Gwen yells, running out of the living room, watching the fight in front of her eyes.
Running down the stairs, Ethan grabs Alistair by the neck, and punches his face again. "You son of a---how could you do this! How could you be so cold to harm Theresa? Damn you, Alistair! Damn you to hell!"
"What's the matter, Ethan? Jealous that I got into her pants and you didn't?"
"You jerk!" With that, Ethan pushes Alistair's body against the wall, and stares into his cold, soulless eyes.
"Just because you run this damn mansion does not mean that you're god. You have NO right to do what you did to Theresa. You are nothing but a selfish, coldhearted, lying scum of the Earth, and I would be doing a big favor to this town by getting rid of you now."
"You're nothing but a bastard child, Ethan! You never were my favorite. You think just because your father is the Chief of Police that you will be scott free of charges? I can make charges a mile long against you."
"You are in no position to threaten me, Alistair." Ethan says, tightening his hold on Alistair."
"I want YOU out of this house!" Alistair says through clenched teeth.
"Believe me, I'm taking MY daughter and MY stuff and I'm getting out of here." Ethan says. With one final push, Ethan throws Alistair against the wall, and walks away, turning around briefly when he hears Alistair's fall down the stairs.
"Ethan! Help him!" Gwen yells.
"Forget it. Let the man burn in hell where he belongs." Wiping his hands clean of the mansion, Ethan goes to the nursery, putting Jane's things into a bag, and then looks at his little girl sleeping.
"You look just like your mommy, sweetie. Your face, your eyes. I look at you and I see her. I'm going to take you back to your mommy where you belong. And then, you, me, your mommy and big brother are going to be a family. The way it was supposed to be all this time."
Smiling for the first time in months, Ethan packs his things, and then takes his and Jane's stuff to the car, returning to the mansion to get his daughter, and with a final look around the house, begins to leave the mansion, just as Gwen stops him.
"Ethan..please..don't go.."
Turning around, Ethan reaches to his left hand, pulling off his wedding band and throws it to the ground. "Goodbye, Gwen." With that, Ethan walks out of the mansion, taking a deep breath.
"Free. I'm finally free to be with Theresa. Dear God, let us have our chance."
Coming Up
ET see each other!
