Chapter 8 - Redeeming what is Mines

Gwen

Gwen fluttered her eyes open "Oh great where did he run off to now" She said when she realized that her husband was not in bed with her. This was pretty routine so she was used to it. Either he was running to be by his mother side or running to save Theresa he was barely with Gwen more that 5 minutes. How can someone get use to her Husband running off to save everyone else except his wife. It was hard to comprehend, hard to adjust to, but I suppose Gwen has no choice she had won the ultimate prize if you want to call not having Ethan Attention the ultimate prize no matter she had won and Theresa had lost that was all that matter and nothing else.

So Ethan ran off every now and again in the end he always came back to her. She heard the shower on in the bathroom and decided to join her husband in the shower. "Ethan is that you in there?" "Duh, Gwen who else can be in your shower!"

She proceeded to the bathroom and opens the door, she was disappointed when she notice Ethan coming out!

"Hey stranger, too bad you left so soon I was going to join you in the shower"

"Oh I didn't realize Gwen, I am sorry"

"Well you can always come back in if you want?"

"No I am going to get dress and check on Mother"

"O.k.!" Gwen said sounding very disappointed

She was disappointed that Ethan was more concern with checking on his mother than spending time with her. She had to get Ethan's attention back on her and the baby.

She proceeded to take a shower by herself. Her concerns mounted when she had thoughts of her secrets all coming out.

She knew that Bruce would never in a million years let the Bermuda secret out he had too much too lose if Gwen let out the secret she had on him. But she was worried about the paternity secret coming out. Why had she had to be so vindictive. She knew Theresa was right when she had said that her and Gwen was no different from one another. But there was a difference between her and Theresa, Gwen fought dirtier than Theresa. And in the end Gwen didn't care who she hurt as long as she got what she wanted.

Her secrets will never come out the only people who knew were her and her mother and the Tabloid guy but Gwen use a voice distorter when she talked to him. So what was she worried about she knew her mother would never tell. She was just worried for nothing. She proceeded to get out of the shower and dress. She walked down the hall and notice that she saw Fox Crane peeking in Theresa room.

"Hmmm, what is going on there, has THE FOX CRANE fallen into the Black Window Spider trap too, poor Fox he didn't know what he was getting himself into!" This was going to be interesting, Gwen thought to herself. Maybe Fox can help divert Theresa attentions away from Ethan. Maybe this can work in my favor after all.

Gwen walked into her mother's room to tell her the good news but her mother was nowhere to be found. "She must be downstairs at breakfast already, no matter I can tell her the good news there!"

When Gwen arrived downstairs she could hear Ethan and Fox arguing.

"Oh shit, the Choir boy speaks, who are you to tell me what to do, you who are so clueless about the things around, you who are blind to the lies and deception that is in front of your face and no I am not talking about Theresa. But look around you everyone has been lying to you, face the fact Bro, you're so easy to manipulate, to be lied to, you only believe what you want to believe!"

"What are you talking about Fox, tell me now!"

"I am talking about the real culprit who sent the email to the tabloid, I cannot say more but if I were you I would follow the clues that is in front of your face"

Could it be that Fox knows my secret it couldn't be we didn't tell anyone.

Gwen walked over and stood next to Ethan, then she walked in like a cobra sneaky and seductive with her eyes. God she hated the hold that she had on Ethan. Every time she was in the room Ethan seem to forget that Gwen even existed his whole attention was focus on Theresa and today was no different.

Gwen walked over to her mother

"Mother I have great news!"

"What is it now Gwen?"

"Looks like Fox has taken a liking in the Black Window!"

"What makes you say that Gwen?"

"Well I saw Fox peeking into Theresa's room this morning!"

"Oh Gwennie this might work in our favor!"

"I know mother, but do you suspect that Fox knows about our secret!"

"No, I think that he is just blowing hot air and that he doesn't know anything!"

Maybe her mother was right maybe she was worried for nothing, Fox didn't know anything and if he did why hasn't he come forward yet!

"There are secrets in this house and I intend to find out what they are, if it kills me!" "So the 3 of you better watch yourself!" She heard Theresa say

"What, What are you going to do, there are no secrets between us none what so ever, tell her Pookie!" She heard her mother whine on and on to Julian

"Rebecca put a can in it already!" That was the first time that I heard Julian talk to Mother like that.

Gwen grabbed her mother's arm gently and pulled her away from prying ears.

"Mother I think they know, what are we going to do, I didn't get this far with Ethan to lose him again and to that TRAMP, I will not lose I refuse to Lose!"

"Calm down Gwen, look they don't know anything we are safe I made sure that our tracks were covered!" "Now go after your man he just followed Fox and Theresa!"

"O.k. Mother, now are you sure!"

"Yes Gwen, Now go after your husband!"

Gwen took her mother's advice and followed Ethan out the door sure enough he was eavesdropping on Fox and Theresa conversation. She didn't understand how can someone have that mush of a hold on one person, what did Theresa have that she didn't have, she was beautiful, rich, successful, a debutante. While Theresa was a guttersnipe, a nobody from the wrong side of the tracks, she was the housekeeper's daughter for Christ sakes! But why did she have such a hold on these men she didn't understand it! She walked slowly towards Ethan she saw him his eyes told her that he was heartbroken, that he yearn for her, she forgot how easily Ethan could be read, his eyes always told on him. No matter how much he tried to hide it.

"Ethan.............." "What are you doing?"

"Nothing Gwen I just needed to get out of there for a minute"

"Yea me too, can you believe the Gall that Theresa has!"

"But Gwen Theresa has a valid point this is her house!"

"Why..........? Why are you always protecting her? Standing up for her?!" she cried

"Will I ever be good enough for you?" I guess he felt bad that he made her cry because once he saw the waterworks he gently reached for her and hugged her tightly. Maybe crying was a way to get his attention Theresa had the idea every time she wanted Ethan close she would cry now it was Gwen's turn and boy was she going to turn on the waterworks for him!

"Come on Gwen let's get out of here, I think we have a wedding to go to"

"Do you actually want to go to Miguel and Charity's Wedding"

"Yes they did give us an invitation"

"Well can I have a little of this..........." as Gwen gently grabbed on Ethan bulging manhood

"I supposed so!"

Ethan took her back to their room where they made love "Checkmate Theresa" I got him this time I won this round.

When we were done I decided that I needed another shower. Ethan went ahead and did the same we got dress and proceeded downstairs Ivy said that she wanted to go to the wedding to.

When we got downstairs we saw the one person we didn't want to see for the rest of the day HIM!

A/N: NEXT something happens at the wedding that will jeopardize the life of Gwen's baby!
