10—Anger and Secrets

"Gwen, please, it's not what you think." Ethan says.

"NOT WHAT I THINK! HELLO! Theresa, get out of here right NOW!" Gwen says, pushing Theresa off the bed.

"Gwen! Stop!" Ethan yells.

"Are you kidding me, Ethan? This woman shouldn't BE here! Why is she in your arms anyway!" Gwen says, her body looming over Theresa on the floor.

"Gwen, please, I was just comforting her."

"Yeah, right, she probably pushed herself right on you." Gwen says, turning back to Theresa. "Get out of here Theresa, before I kill you!"

"Gwen, please, I didn't mean to do anything.."

"No, you never mean to do anything! You never meant to take Ethan away from me and you did! You never meant for me to loose not ONE but TWO children, and you did! How do you think that made me feel! I did EVERYTHING I could to get him back! I sent out the tabloid with my mother to get him back, and that worked! But no! He still loves YOU!"

Not realizing what she revealed, Ethan and Theresa look at her in shock. "Gwen? You sent the tabloid?" Ethan says.

I knew it! God, how could you do this, Gwen? Theresa thinks to herself, getting up off the floor.

"No, Ethan, don't be silly! We all know Theresa sent the tabloid!"

"No. You just admitted that you did it. Tell me the truth, Gwen."

"Fine, you want the truth? Yes, I sent the tabloid! It was a brilliant way for me to get Theresa away from you. I did it, and I don't regret it!"

Stunned at what his marriage has come to, Ethan shakes his head, looking away. "Get out, Gwen. Just get out."

"Hell no! We're married, and I'm never letting you go!"

Turning to her, Ethan flexes his fingers into fists, staring hard at Gwen. "GET OUT! My marriage to you is OVER."

"At least I will have Jane!"

"Oh, no you won't, Gwen." Theresa chimes in. "I will make sure you NEVER lay a hand on my daughter again." Reaching into her bag, Theresa takes out her phone.

"Chief Bennett? This is Theresa. I need you to come to Ethan's hospital room. No, no, he's fine. It's Gwen. You need to arrest her. She just confessed to sending the tabloid that revealed that you were Ethan's father. Yes, yes I understand. Thank you, goodbye." Hanging up her phone, Theresa looks at Gwen.

"Are you going to let her do this to me, Ethan? Your WIFE!"

"Gwen, as of this moment, WE are no longer married. You have no claim to Jane or ANYTHING else, as far as I'm concerned."

"Ethan, you don't believe in divorce."

"You're right, I don't. But I also believed in an honest marriage, and you never gave me that, apparently."

"Oh, and you think THERESA will be honest to you? Please, this is the woman who lied to you over and over again."

"At least Theresa has owned up to her mistakes. You have held this lie for the last 6 years, and you never ONCE confessed."

"I tried!"

"Trying and doing are two different things." At that moment, the hospital room door opens again, revealing Chief Bennett.

"Dad, thank you for coming down. I want you to book Gwen for aiding and abetting with her mother in sending the information to the tabloids."

"What!"

"It's true, Chief Bennett, Gwen just confessed the truth."

Turning to his daughter-in-law, Sam sighs. "I always thought you loved Ethan, Gwen, that you would never harm him."

"Oh, not you too! I love Ethan with my whole heart!"

"Not when you stoop so low and lie to him about it." Sam says, placing the cuffs on Gwen.

As Gwen gives Ethan and Theresa one last evil look, she mutters. "This is far from over."

"No, Gwen, it IS over." Ethan says, reaching out for Theresa's hand.
