Chad felt like a child in a candy store with no money. He now knew everything he needed to destroy Fox and Kay but what he hadn't any idea on how to go about it. Fox hadn't spent the whole summer longing after Whitney. Instead he was spending his time romancing Kay Bennett. He didn't really want to hurt Kay but he knew he was going to. In order to ruin Fox he had to make Kay look like the bad guy as well. It wasn't Kay's fault that Fox was such an ass.
They were now sitting in the living room waiting for Tabitha to come back with tea and sandwiches. To tell the truth, Kay was a bit cautious as to why Chad had decided to follow her all the way back to the house. She knew very well that Fox and Chad had been fighting before she came in and stopped it. Kay really felt bad for Chad. Whitney had basically blamed him for everything. She had completely forgotten the fact that it takes two people to make a baby. After everything had come out she abandoned Chad for Fox. Kay felt that most of Chad and Fox's problems lay on Whitney.
"Don't you have to get back to work?" Kay asked.
"You know Kay I really don't feel like working right now. I probably should be there but I need to get away from Fox right now. He totally drives me crazy sometimes. It's like he doesn't get it. I'm now a Crane. He's just going to have to get used it." Chad said.
"You know Chad I have to admit that you're right. I'm sorry to say this but I think it's crappy how both Whitney and Fox have treated you." Kay said.
"Wow that's a surprise. Most people think I'm disgusting for wanting Whitney back." Chad said.
"Chad I know how you feel. You and Whitney had something very special. Those feelings aren't just going to disappear overnight." Kay said.
"You know Kay Bennett I have to say that I feel sorry for you too. It must be hard on you that Miguel isn't around for Maria." Chad said.
"It's not because he doesn't want to be. I know that Miguel will come back soon." Kay said.
"What if he doesn't? What if you're stuck living out your life by yourself?" Chad said.
"I know that won't happen." Kay said.
"I hope you're right." Chad said.
Tabitha was just entering the living room with tea and sandwiches. She looked on as Chad and Kay kept babbling on about all sorts of things. Tabitha knew that Chad was up to no good because she had seen the whole fight between Kay and Fox and knew full well that Chad knew about their summer affair. Still, she wasn't going to tell Kay that Chad knew. Instead, she was going to allow this whole fiasco go on. It was going to make for an interesting story later on.
"Well Kay, I think I better get back to the office." Chad said.
"It's a shame you have to go. I really enjoyed spending time with you." Kay said.
"I was thinking we could go out for after I get off of work. I'm not asking you out on a date. I was just thinking that we should get to know each other better. I mean neither of us have many friends in Harmony." Chad said.
"I'd like to go out with you tonight." Kay said.
"Well then let's set it for around seven tonight." Chad said.
Chad arrived back at the office with a smirk on his face. His plan was now officially in action. He couldn't wait until Fox and Whitney saw him and Kay together. Fox would soon show his true colors and Whitney would be all his again. It was only a matter of time. Chad was walking back to his office when Whitney tapped him on his shoulder. He turned around and hugged her. She pushed him and off and told him to get into the office.
"Listen here, I've come to tell you that Fox and I've decided to go ahead and sue you for custody over Miles." Whitney said.
"You can't take my son from me." Chad said.
"Yes I can. He's my son too." Whitney said.
"You gave up on us and our son. I won't let you and Fox raise our child." Chad said.
"Chad you don't have a choice in the matter. All I have to do is tell the judge that you are in love with me and that will be enough to take the child from you." Whitney said.
"I won't let you take him Whitney. I'll find away to stop you and that pig you've decided to marry." Chad said.
"We'll see about that." Whitney said.
"You know Whitney I wouldn't be too sure of myself." Chad said.
"Fox and I will be marrying soon. He loves me and only me. I'm the one he's always been in love with and I'm going to be the only in the end." Whitney said in a frustrated manner.
"How can you be so sure that you're the one? From what I understand, Fox couldn't get enough of Kay Bennett at your little dinner party last night." Chad said.
"Kay's a whore. She'll do anything to get a man to stay with her. Fox knows how Kay works. He got to see her little act when he was hanging around her and her father." Whitney said.
"I bet he got to see her little act." Chad said.
"I have to get going. I have more important things to do than discuss my love life with you." Whitney said.
With that, Whitney slammed the door behind her. Outside in the hall, tears began to form on Whitney's face. Was Fox really in love with Kay Bennett? Did they really have a summer fling and was it really over was Fox totally and completely in love with Kay Bennett? These were questions that Whitney didn't have an answer to. These were questions that needed to be answered. If Kay Bennett was really Fox's true love, it would be a tragedy for Kay. Fox was Whitney's fiancée and that's the way it was going to be.
Whitney walked into Fox's office and noticed the young heir tapping his pencil nervously on the desk. Fox and Chad must have had another fight. Hopefully, it was over her. If it was over her, it would show that Fox truly did care about her and not Kay. Whitney knew that Ivy was hiding something. Whatever it was, she was going to find out.
Fox looked up from his desk to see Whitney Russell standing in the doorway looking at him with caution. Why couldn't she just leave him be? Chad had seriously gotten to him when he decided to take Kay home. He knew that Chad wanted to see him fail so that he could take the company from him. However, he didn't think he knew about him and Kay. This brought Fox much worry; if Chad did know about his still lingering feelings for Miss. Bennett, it would all be over him and Whitney. Whitney would never stay with him. She'd go running back to her brother in an instant. Fox then remembered his vow that he'd made to himself. If Whitney ever went back to Chad, he would destroy her. He would take everything she ever loved. Her life would be one big nightmare along with Chad's.
Kay's presence the past two days had made Fox realize why he still loved her. Everyone was always against her and yet she somehow managed to survive. She managed to raise a daughter without the help of her parents. She never blamed either one of them for the situation she was in. In that regard, Whitney could never compare. Everyone else was always at fault for Whitney's mistakes. Julian and Eve were to blame for why Whitney slept with Chad and hid his child from him. Julian and Eve were the once that forced Whitney to use Fox in such a cruel way. Those were always Whitney's excuses. If Kay were to come in this office right now and tell Fox that she wanted to start over, he probably would have left Whitney right then and there. However, Kay made it perfectly clear that she wanted nothing to do with him. She was with him to pass time until Miguel came back.
"Did you apologize to Kay for what you did last night?" Fox asked her rather bluntly.
"I was on my way to doing that. Why are you in such a bad mood?" Whitney asked.
"Let's see, Chad is an asshole who is obsessed with my fiancée. That would put any guy in a bad mood." Fox said.
"I ran into him in the hallway. He seems like he's in a good mood today. I told him that we're going to take custody of Miles away from him." Whitney said with much pleasure.
"Oh so he's back from his walk then." Fox said.
"What are you talking about?" Whitney asked.
"Chad is just trying to get under my skin and crush me that's all." Fox said.
"I was wondering if you wanted to go out to dinner tonight?" Whitney asked.
"Yeah sure that's fine. Hey Whitney, why don't you go ahead and wait outside. I've got an important call to make." Fox said.
Whitney looked at Fox with curiosity before stepping out into the hallway. She watched as Fox slammed the door behind her. Whitney walked over to the other end of the hall to see Chad sitting at his desk making dinner reservation. Whitney couldn't help but spy on her half brother.
"Yes, I would like to make dinner reservation for tonight at seven. I want the best seat in the house. I've got this new girl that I'm very interested in and I want her to be completely impressed." Chad said on the phone.
Whitney couldn't believe what she was hearing. Chad had finally found someone else. He had completely forgotten about her and the love they shared. Who could this other whore be? Whitney thought to herself. She had to know who Chad was interested in and she had to know immediately.
Fox dialed Tabitha's house in hopes of finding Kay there. He wanted to talk to her and find out what Chad had said to her. He especially wanted to make sure she was alright. Instead of hearing Kay's voice on the other end, he heard Tabitha's.
"Hello." Tabitha said.
"Tabitha, this is Fox Crane. I was wondering if Kay was around. I really need to talk to her." Fox said.
"Actually she's upstairs getting ready for her date." Tabitha said.
Fox froze when he heard this.
"I see. Well, could you tell her that I really need to talk to her?" Fox asked.
"I'm afraid I can't. Kay has asked to not be disturbed. She is in such a great mood. She went out and bought this beautiful new dress and shoes." Tabitha said.
Fox began to tap his pencil hard against his desk. Kay didn't want to be with him because of Miguel but here she was getting ready to go on another date with another man.
"Well I wouldn't want to bother. Tell her I called." Fox said and then swiftly hung the phone up.
Tabitha was enjoying every moment of this. Fox was now jealous more than ever. Tabitha knew that there was no way Fox would hold his temper after he found Kay and Chad dinning together.
The restaurant was crowded but Chad had still managed to get the best seat. He pulled Kay's chair out for her and then proceeded to sit across from her. They began to talk about trivial things and went from there. Kay was beginning to feel a bit happier. Chad was turning out to be a good friend.
After a while, Kay began to talk about Maria and how Miguel was a deadbeat father that never came around or helped her out. Chad listened intently to her and began to feel bad that he was going to destroy this young mother's life.
Chad asked Kay if she would like to dance and of course she obliged him. They got up and proceeded to dance. The next song came on and they continued to dance; neither one took their eyes off one another.
Fox was helping Whitney sit down when he noticed Chad and Kay on the dance floor. Fox clenched his teeth together and then began to rub his hands through his hair furiously. Kay had made the ultimate betrayal by come here with Chad Harris.
Whitney looked up to see Fox's face and knew immediately that Chad must have come to the same restaurant. When she got up, she let out a loud gasp. There was Chad and Kay dancing closely and enjoying each other's company. Then Whitney finally realized it; Fox was in love with Kay Bennett. She could tell by the look of betrayal on his face. She knew that look. It was a look of deep regret. She turned to Fox and slapped him across the face before running out of the restaurant and back to the car.
