Chapter Fourteen
(Gwen sits on the bed next to Ethan)

Gwen: Honey, this is a nightmare. Theresa marrying Alistair...

Ethan: I know, I never imagined something like this happening.

Gwen: Now she has the power to take Jane away from us.

Ethan: Lets not think about that right now, okay?

Gwen: How can I not? Ethan I can't lose another child, I just can't.

Ethan: Everytthing will be fine, come here.
(Ethan hugs Gwen as Gwen holds onto Ethan)

Gwen(thinking to herself): I can't lose Jane and I can't lose you Ethan to Theresa, not again.

Ethan: So after tonight I think you need to relax, we both need to get some sleep.

Gwen: You're right, we can deal with this tomorrow.
(Gwen kisses Ethan)

Gwen: I love you.

Ethan: I love you too.
(Gwen lays down as does Ethan turning his head away from Gwen)

Ethan: How did we get here? How did it come to this? Theresa is married to Alistair and I... I am married to Gwen. I feel like I'm living a nightmare that I just can't wake up from.
(Ethan falls asleep)
(Dreaming)
(Theresa walks in the room)
(Walking over to a sleeping Ethan and kisses him on the cheek)
(Ethan opens his eyes)

Ethan: Theresa? What? What are you doing here?

Theresa: I here to see you Ethan.

Ethan: You shouldn't be here,Gwen...

Theresa: Gwen left, she's not here.
(Ethan sits up and Theresa sits on the bed in front of him)

Theresa: It's just you and me.

Ethan: Theresa still, you shouldn't be here.

Theresa. Ahh, is that your favorite word or something? Shouldn't be here, shouldn't do this, shouldn't feel this, shouldn't live... Tell me what you want Ethan. Do you really want me to go?

Ethan: No I want you to stay.

Theresa: That's why I'm here Ethan because you want me to be. You love me as much as I love you.

Ethan: Don't do this to me.

Theresa: You can convince you head to lie, but your heart can't.
(Theresa brushes Ethan's face as he takes her hand and pulls away)

Ethan: Stop, this can't happen. Not now and not ever.
(Theresa shakes her head and smiles)

Theresa: Prove it.

Ethan: How could I..
(Theresa pulls Ethan toward her and kisses him passionately)
(Ethan blinks his eyes)

Theresa. Now let me walk away.
(Theresa stand up and starts to walk to the door)

Ethan: Never.
(Ethan grabs Theresa as she falls on top of him)

Theresa: See, I know you better than anyone. You can't deny it, you don't want to. You know I'm the woman you truly love.
(Ethan looks deep into Theresa's eyes and pulls her toward him as he kisses her passionately)

Ethan: Theresa, I love you.
(End of dream)

Ethan(whispering in his sleep): Theresa I love you, I love you.
(Gwen turns to Ethan)

Gwen: Ethan?
(Ethan wakes up)

Ethan: What is it?
(Gwen smiles)

Gwen: You were just muttering I love you in your sleep.

Ethan: Was I?

Gwen: You were dreaming about me, weren't you?

Ethan: Of course I was, who else?

Gwen: Mmm, I love you so much.
(Gwen kisses Ethan and holds him in her arms)
(Ethan glances around the room)

(In Alistair's bedroom)
(Theresa lies cold and saking on the bed)

Alistair: Oh Theresa, what's the matter with you? Don't you enjoy our time together as much as I do?

Theresa: You're sick.

Alistair: Ahh, thank you. You're too kind. I'm sure you are getting used to it by now.

Theresa: I hate being you, you make my skin crawl.

Alistair: And you think I care what you want? It's your job as my wife to fulfill my needs.Oh don't be a cold fish,. You know you enjoy our daily role play as long as you're thinking about Ethan while we're going at it. I'm sure it's as good for you as it is for me. Tell me what's it like tinking about having sex with Ethan when he's actually have sex with his wife, Gwen?

Theresa: Go to hell.

Alistair: Been there, thank you. Ethan belongs in his wife's bed as much as you belong in mine. Ethan could never touch you much less have sex with you ever again knowing you've had sex with me.

Theresa: You don't know Ethan.

Alistair: Oh, but I do. You see Ethan hates me and he hates you for being with me. He could never love a woman who gave herself to me.

Theresa: I never gave myself to you. You're a dirty old man who forces himself on me. You blackmail threatening to hurt my son, Alistair.

Alistair: Call it what you like. Ethan will still never be with you again now that you've been with me.

Theresa: I do not belong to you.

Alistair: That's were you're wrong. Theresa you belong to me, you are my property.

Theresa: I am no one's property.
(Alistair laughs)

Alistair: I marked you, you are my territory now. I could hire some male escorts to satisfy your pleasure if you'd like. But you can forget about Ethan, he will never want to be with my whore.
(Alistair leaves laughing and shuts the door behind him)
(Thereresa throws a glass at the door)

Theresa: damn you Alistair! Damn you to hell! You old bastard!
(Theresa lies on the bed crying)
(Ethan walks in the room and rushes to Theresa's side)

Ethan: Theresa, oh my god. What happened?

Theresa: Ethan, please just leave me alone.

Ethan: No I won't, you're in pain.
(Ethan takes Theresa's hand)

Ethan: Theresa you're bleeding, you threw that glass didn't you?

Theresa: Why are you here?

Ethan: I hate seeing you like this, tell me what happened.

Theresa: You know how Alistair likes rough sex.

Ethan: He raped you again, didn't he?
(Theresa paces her hand over her eyes to hide her tears)
(Ethan embraces Theresa and takes her in his arms)

Ethan: Come here, it's okay. Everything will be okay, I promise you. Alistair will have to go through me to ever hurt you again.

Theresa: When you hold me in your arms I believe everything will turn around for the best.

Ethan: It will, trust me.
(Ethan rubs Theresa's back as she closes her eyes and holds on tightly to him)

COMING: Gwen finds Theresa in Ethan's arms!
