Chapter 5- Lies
Gwen- (Talking to herself) I'm trapped! Theresa is allowed to visit Ethan anytime in the mansion filling his head about how they're in love! I wish there was a way Ethan could remember how he loves me.. Well, if Theresa can do, I'm as sure as hell going to try too!
(A few days later)
(The butler meets Ethan in the den)
Butler- Mr. Winthrop, a guest is at the front door waiting for you
Ethan- Thank you
(Ethan gets up and opens the front door)
Gwen- Hello Ethan
Ethan- Hello…Gwen right?
Gwen- Yes! I'm glad you remembered my name! (She hugs Ethan) You don't look too excited to see me…. You thought I was Theresa at first didn't you?
Ethan- Well… a little yeah…
Gwen- Well I just stopped by to take you off for the day to show you a little fun, are you up to it?
Ethan- Anything to help me remember about myself
Gwen- Fabulous! I rented a limo from Crane Industries with your mother's permission
Ethan- Well, where are we going?
Gwen- That's a surprise. Let's hurry and go
Ethan- Let me just go and get my cell phone before we leave…
Gwen- No, I want this day to be fun and I don't want you to be getting calls from work all day
Ethan- I suppose you're right…. If I get any calls, they can just call and leave a message on the mansion phone
(Ethan and Gwen leave in the limo)
(Ethan and Gwen arrive at the park about a hour later)
I'm Gonna Getcha Good
Don't wantcha for the weekend
Don't wantcha for a
night
I'm only interested
If I can have you for life
Yeah
Uh,
I know I sound serious
And baby I am
You're a fine piece of
real estate,
and I'm gonna get me some land
Oh, yeah
So, don't try to run
Honey, love can be
fun
There's no need to be alone
When you find that someone
Ethan- A park huh? Bringing back some child hood memories?
Gwen- Actually- I wanted to show you some memories of us
(Gwen takes Ethan over under a tree by the swings)
Gwen- Do you remember anything about this tree?
Ethan- Not particularly…
Gwen- We engraved our names in this tree one night… it was one winter… and it was so cold outside but the stars were shining ever so bright that night…. it was magical… you kissed me over here (She points by the swings) and told me you wanted to spend the rest of your life with me
Ethan- I… I actually remember some of it…
Gwen- I knew if I brought you here you would remember! See, the tree still has our names on it
Ethan- (Looks and touches the names on the tree) I don't understand… Theresa said I was going to marry you but if I was so in love with you, I'd still love you…
I'm gonna getcha while I gotcha in sight
I'm gonna
getcha if it takes all night
Yeah
You can betcha by the
time I say "go,"
you'll never say "no"
I'm
gonna getcha, it's a matter of fact
I'm gonna getcha, don'tcha
worry 'bout that
Yeah,
You can bet your bottom dollar,
in
time you're gonna be mine
Just like I should
I'll getcha
good
Gwen- (Talking to herself inside her head) This is it! I can finally turn Ethan against Theresa! Ethan, Theresa failed to tell you something… the one reason you couldn't be with her… the one reason you were going to marry me and not that bitch Theresa…
Ethan- What was it?
Gwen- Theresa had known… for some time.. that you were really Sam's son.. And not Julian's…
Ethan- Why would that matter?
Gwen- Because that damn Theresa his it all along so she could have you! Sorry to use such a… loathing tone… but I just can't forgive her for everything she has done to try to steal you away from me…
Ethan- I don't believe that… Theresa isn't that kind of person…
Gwen- If you don't believe me then ask your mother, she'll tell you. See Ethan, Theresa has been trying to make me look like the bad one here… I just want you to remember the love that we used to have
I've already planned it
Here's how it's gonna be
I'm
gonna love you and
You're gonna fall in love with me
Yeah, yeah
So, don't try to run
Honey, love can be
fun
There's no need to be alone
When you find that someone
(Meanwhile)
Theresa- Damnit! Ethan's not answering his cell phone… where on earth could he be? I'll just walk over and talk to him myself
(Back at the park)
Gwen- I'm sorry… I know I'm overwhelming you.. Let's just take it one step at a time for now ok?
Ethan- Alright
Gwen- (Talking to herself in her head) Yes! My plan is hatching! Ethan believe that fake story about the tree… good thing I carved that earlier by the way… I shouldn't deceive Ethan but I had to in order to make him remember he loves me, no matter the cost… I did get away with sending that information to the tabloid about Ethan's paternity test and Ethan didn't believe her then and I'll make sure he won't now
I'm gonna getcha while I gotcha in sight
I'm gonna
getcha if it takes all night
Yeah
You can betcha by the time I
say "go,"
you'll never say "no"
I'm
gonna getcha, it's a matter of fact
I'm gonna getcha, don'tcha
worry 'bout that
Yeah,
You can bet your bottom dollar,
in
time you're gonna be mine
(Back at the Crane Mansion)
Butler- I'm sorry Miss Lopez Fitzgerald, but Mr. Winthrop is gone for the day
Theresa- Do you know where he went?
Butler- I do not… but I know that the young woman rented one of the limos..
Theresa- Young woman? Not to sound nosey or anything, but do you remember her name?
Butler- Miss Hotchkiss I believe
Theresa- Thank you
(The door closes)
Theresa- (talking to herself) No! Gwen is trying to pry her claws into Ethan! I know whatever she was planning, it was to keep Ethan away from me… I can't let her cajole and turn him against me!
(Theresa leaves the mansion grounds)
(Around 7 p.m.)
Gwen- I had a wonderful time Ethan
Ethan- Actually, I did too.. I do want to thank you for trying to help me remember things… it really meant a lot to me
Gwen- You're welcome Ethan. Well, you must be exhausted so I'll let you rest.
(Gwen begins to walk away)
Gwen- Ethan?
Ethan- Yes?
Gwen- Ask your mother… if you have any doubts about what I said earlier…
(Gwen leaves and Ethan walks inside the mansion and shuts the door)
Ivy- Honey, you're back! How was your day?
Ethan- It was… ok… Gwen took me to the park and we talked a while about my past…
(Ethan walks a few steps up the stairs)
Ethan- Mother…. Did… did Theresa ever do anything involving me and information about my father?
Ivy- Yes, she sent information to the tabloid that sad Sam was your father and not Julian. She apparently had known for some time but didn't tell you… why do you ask?
Ethan- No reason really… I had just heard something and I wanted to clarify it
(Ethan goes upstairs)
Ivy- Gwen… you are just too good…
(Upstairs)
Butler- Mr. Winthrop, you had a visitor while you were gone
Ethan- Who was it?
Butler- Miss Lopez Fitzgerald. Would you like me to call and tell her you're home?
Ethan- No, that's all right
Just like I should
I'll getcha good
