Later that night, Theresa gathered everyone in the mansion's living room for a big announcement that she had to address to all of them. No one expected what it actually was…they just thought it was a scheme to get Ethan back.

"Hello, I'm just so pleased to could make it here tonight. What I hold in my hand is something that will change your lives forever"!

"Theresa you're holding a tape player…how could that possibly make a difference in my life?" Gwen questioned.

"Patience Gwen, patience…In my hands…I hold the proof I've been searching for for years".

"Theresa would you just get on with this…I have plans with Sam tonight"!

"Oh, I assure you Ivy that once you listen to this you'll be sick to your stomach and want to shut yourself from the world for the remainder of your life…and also you might actually beg me for forgiveness".

"Sure…like that'll ever happen".

"Mother…I'm starting to get worried…what could Theresa possibly have there? What if its proof that we were the ones that leaked the information to the tabloids"? Gwen whispered to her mother.

"Gwennie don't worry, I'll figure out something…even if it isn't proof…it doesn't sound too good"!

Rebecca walked closer to Theresa…and pushed the tape recorder out of Theresa's hand and said, "Oops, how clumsy of me"!

"Rebecca, because I know you so well,I assumed you would pull something like this".

Theresa walked over to a desk and pulled out of the drawer another tape recorder. "But I bet you didn't expect this. How about now you all just stay a few feet away from me."

"Oh my God mother! This isn't happening is it?"

"I'm afraid so my dear"

"Theresa, just play us the tape so we can see what is on there".

"As you wish Ethan" And with that Theresa played the tape.

Mother, please tell me one thing, you don't have another disk lying around proving that we were the ones that sent the email to the tabloids about Ethan's paternity"?

Ethan's face dropped and he stepped away from Gwen with a disgusted look on his face. Ivy did the same; she couldn't believe all this time she was getting back at Theresa for not doing anything. Gwen just looked at Ethan with a frightened and worried look.

The tape kept playing.

"Well you know thanks to you you've kept Ethan away from Theresa".

"What do you mean Rebecca"?

"Don't you remember…with that whole bit of planting the "Ethan killed Julian" tape.

"Oh yes, of course…it wasn't long before Theresa went running to police saying that she killed Julian and ended up on death row…if only the bitch had died"!

"What? You two were the ones responsible for that tape? Well…I'm impressed…wish I could've thought of something that genius"!

"Oh my God, mother you and Rebecca made that tape…Theresa nearly died"! Ivy didn't look at him at all and she said nothing.

"Well, I think we've heard enough Theresa, Gwen said and she went to attack her but Ethan stepped in front of her and said, "No Gwen, let her finish the tape".

"Ethan, you do not honestly believe this crap, are you?"

"I said let her finish."

"Oh yes…and also remember when you fell down the stairs at Sam's …in your wheelchair? You totally blamed that on Theresa too…saying that she pushed you…now that was a great day"!

"What about you…it was only a little while ago you did the same thing. You an Theresa were arguing over Jane… and you fell down the stairs too…blaming it on Theresa too and even took away some custody rights from Theresa…now that wasn't too bad of a day either.

Theresa turned the tape off. No one could move or talk so Theresa broke the silence. "So there you have it…it seems I wasn't the only one keeping secrets from you Ethan."

Theresa went to Ivy first, "You know what Ivy, I thought it was low for you to push yourself down the stairs and blame me for it, but making a tape with Ethan killing Julian on it so that I would turn myself in for it, is beyond evil, its disgusting." Ivy looked at her for a moment but had to look away because of how much guilt she was holding.

Theresa went to Gwen, "I don't even want to say anything to you, you lying bitch! Or you Rebecca because the sight of both of you sickens me".

She walked slowly to Ethan,"I can't believe it took this much for you to see the monster you're married to. You took everything that I had, you had taken little Ethan, and now you still got my baby Jane up there…away from her mother……and you took you away. All of this was because of the things that I had done…well open you freaking eyes and look around you, you're surrounded by people that you thought you could trust…well except Rebecca, but the person that you couldn't trust was actually the only person you could trust"!

"Theresa, I'm sorry----"

"No! Not this time, I don't even want to hear it! Don't you remember when we were engaged and how you said that you trusted me completely?"

"Yea…."

"I don't…because there was never a time where you completely trusted me"!

"Theresa that's ridiculous…of course I trusted you".

"No, not really…because you would've believed me when I told you that I didn't send that email to the tabloids!"

"That was only because you knew that I was really Sam's son all along".

"Oh Ethan please, don't you remember all the times I almost told you…when I would start a sentence saying that it was time you learned about your real father…but then I would start saying stuff about Julian"?

"Umm…I think so…."

"Ethan, don't you understand…I wasn't the only person who knew…mama knew, you mother knew…so what makes them any more available to your trust…you've forgiven mama and Ivy, haven't you? Don't you see? It wasn't my secret to tell, the only person who had the right to tell was your mother."

"Theresa, I don't know what to say. I'm so sorry…and you're right…you're absolutely right".

"Now look at us…we've lost more than four years that could've been so happy and full of love…but it wasn't. You're married to Gwen, and I'm married to Alistair."

"I know---"

"Actually…you know what…I not really in the mood to discuss this anymore…thinking about it just makes me upset! …I'm going to bed"

"Theresa…we have to discuss this…"

"No, not tonight…maybe tonight you should think about all the things you've put me through…maybe you should think about what you're going to do…or maybe Ethan for the first time in your life…follow your heart, do what you want to do …and not what you think you have to do….

Next Chapter Morning after, what happens what Alistair rapes Theresa….again!
