In the basement of the bookcafe
"Simone…hurry up! You can't let anybody see that we're down here or I could get fired and then we wouldn't be able to find anything about Alistair's secrets!"
"Okay, okay! I'm coming. So…what exactly are we looking for?"
"I'm not sure but just look for anything that may involve Alistair's secrets."
"Yeah yeah…okay."
Hour later
"Hey Paloma, I found a file that has something to do with Ethan!"
"Really? About what?"
"Well…something about emails…that's all it says in the corner".
"Well…open it up".
Simone opens it up…and she reads it…and she brings a face of horror to her face.
"What is it Simone? What does it say?"
"Umm…I…uh..I-I can't believe this!"
"What!" Paloma said getting irritated.
"Its proof!"
"Proof of what?"
"Proof that will change Ethan's life forever! Its proof that Theresa wasn't the person who actually sent the email to the tabloids…and that Gwen did!"
"What! Are you serious?"
"Yeah…here…take a look for yourself."
Paloma reads it. "These are emails sent from Rebecca to Gwen while Gwen and Ethan went to LA. I can't believe this! Gwen actually framed Theresa…I have to show this to Ethan."
"You want me to come with you?"
"No that's ok…but you could cover for me while I'm gone."
"Sure no problem…good luck".
"Thanks….well see you".
"Later".
At the B&B
Ethan is in playing with Jane when there's a knock on the door.
"Hey Paloma." Ethan said kind of confused by why she was here.
"Hey…umm…Can I come in?"
"Oh yeah, sure."
"Thanks…I have to tell you something."
"Ok…what is it?"
"Its just that like 2 months ago…Simone and I were in the book café, down in the basement when we found like this secret room."
"A secret room?"
"Yeah…we realized when we went through all the files that they were files that belonged to Alistair."
"Alistair? Why would he keep his files in such a public place".
"Well…I don't know…because no one would think to look there?"
"Ok…so….what does this have to do with me?"
"Well…we thought we might find some secrets that Alistair had…and Simone and I found one today."
"That concerns me?"
"Yeah…its going to be a secret that you're not going to like. Umm…you know how Theresa completely denies that she sent the email to the tabloid about your true paternity?"
"Yea…why? Did you find proof that she was the one that actually did it? I can't believe that I thought she hadn't done that---"
"Ethan, no, that's not it! I found proof that Theresa didn't do it…but I also found proof of who actually did do it!" Paloma hands him the emails and Ethan reads them
"These are emails sent between Gwen and Rebecca!"
"That's right…Gwen and Rebecca were the ones that sent the email…not Theresa".
"Wait a minute…this can't be legitimate! This could've been written by anybody! Theresa could've written these up herself and planted them in the basement for you to find!"
"No Ethan…these are real".
"And how do I know that you're telling the truth?"
"Wow Ethan…you know you really are blind…you can't see the person that you're married to for the person she actually is".
"You don't even know Gwen…"
"And apparently, neither do you!" Paloma snatched the emails from Ethan and ran out.
Ethan decides that maybe he should go ask Gwen about it so he goes to her office and lets Pilar watch Jane. Ethan walks toward Gwen's office but the door is left open and he hears Rebecca and Gwen talking…
"Mother…what are you doing here?"
"What…can't a mother visit her daughter?"
"No…not when it comes to you….so tell the truth! Why are you here?"
"I came here to tell you that you're crazy to think that its okay for you to be here all day while that tramp could be out trying to steal your husband!"
"Mother, Theresa is no longer a threat to us…we've both made sure of that!"
"Yes, but---"
"No, no buts! Theresa made her last shot when she tried to take away our money and holding Ethan to his contract at Crane! But did it work? No, because Ethan thinks Theresa is the biggest snake that has ever crawled the earth!"
"Those were the good days, huh? Us having a really fun mother-daughter relationship! It was so much destroying that little Fajita's life".
"Yes mother it was…but sometimes I still wonder if Theresa will find the proof!"
"Don't worry darling! You destroyed the proof in the fire that night…much to my dismay may I add!"
""Yeah well, if Alistair ever opens his mouth about us…I will lose Ethan forever! It won't matter that we were the ones who tipped off the tabloids or that you and Ivy both framed Theresa for "pushing" you down the stairs or to the fact that I kept Ethan from hearing Theresa's screams that night by seducing him while Alistair raped her!"
Ethan stood back from the door…disgusted by what he heard. If there was more he didn't want to hear it…he took off down the hall and ran for Theresa
