It had been a few weeks since Becca was attacked, and everyone close to her had started to notice the difference in her. Becca wasn't the same confident woman she used to be, and she certainly didn't dress the same.

Brax and Heath had already put a plan in action as to how they were going to deal with Simon. Little did they know Simon had Becca over a barrel?

Simon knew something about Becca that she didn't want anyone else to find out, and Simon being the sleaze he is used this to his advantage.

It was about 9am when Heath woke up; he could feel Becca shaking beside him "Becca" Heath whispered as he shook her gently "Bex"

Suddenly Becca shot up and almost knocked Heath out of bed "Jeez" Heath gasped as he regained his balance "You ok?" he asked when he saw her tearstained face.

Becca nodded weakly "Yeh, just a bad dream" she explained. Although she wanted to tell Heath all about her dream she knew it would only make him angrier and determined to hurt Simon, so she decided not to bother.

"I'm going to get some water" she sighed as she slipped slowly out of bed. Heath watched Becca curiously as she walked out of the bedroom into the kitchen. He had never seen her like this before and it scared the hell out of him.

As Becca walked into the kitchen she was shocked to see Brax sat at the kitchen table, Brax quickly stood when he saw Becca's face "Shit are you ok beck" Brax asked softly.

"Yeah fine, I just need a drink" Becca had always been a bad liar. Brax frowned as Becca walked past him and headed towards the sink. She got herself a glass of water and turned back to face Brax "Do you think I asked for it?" Becca asked causing Brax to lose his balance for a few seconds.

"What no, of course you didn't" Brax exclaimed "Look Becca, what that animal did to you was inexcusable, he had no right to hurt you like that"

"I just can't help but think what if I encouraged it, I mean we had been together for almost a year and hadn't slept together and then I go and sleep with Heath the first chance I get"

"Yeah but Heath's your husband, you know him" Brax replied trying to make sense of what Becca was getting at "What's he got over you Beck?" Brax finally asked the question which had been nagging him.

"My career" Becca's reply was simple.

"What do you mean you're career?" Brax wondered.

"I didn't pass my final exams at Med school" Becca replied "I didn't know it at the time but Simon paid someone to switch my test before it was marked"

"Yeah but surely that means you can't get blamed for it?" Brax said quickly.

"Yes I can, because when I found out I should have told the Dean about it. If Simon tells the truth it will completely destroy my career, not to mention a possible jail sentence for fraud" Becca explained.

"That's why you won't stand up to him" Heath interrupted, Becca and Brax had no idea he was standing behind them "For god sake Becca the man raped you. Is you're career really that important to you?"

"I don't expect you to understand Heath" Becca quickly replied with out thinking.

"Why because I am just a no hoper?" Heath spat angrily.

"I didn't mean that" Becca quickly apologised "You know I don't think that"

Heath just shook his head "Out of all the people in my life I thought you were different, but your not you just think the same as everyone else"

"Heath please" Becca tried again.

"No Becca you're right I mean look at you you're beautiful, smart funny how the hell can someone like me be enough for someone like you, you should never have come back. It would have been better if you sent you're lawyer" Becca could see the hurt in Heath's eyes and it killed her.

"Heath please, I'm not as perfect as you think I am" Becca pleaded "I've done things I'm not proud of either"

"Oh what lie about some poxy test" Heath added.

"I lied to you" Becca cried out without thinking first. Heath just stared at her; he was completely shocked by Becca's outburst "I didn't tell you the truth about when I left"

"I know why you left, believe me I don't need reminding" Heath said sadly as he remembered the night Becca fell.

"You think, Heath I can't lie to you anymore" Becca cried "The night I fell down the stairs…I didn't have a miscarriage, I had an abortion"

Heath's eyes widened he had no idea how to deal with the news Becca had given him "You did what?" He wasn't sure whether to shout or cry.

"I was scared, you were on the road to self destruct and the way you lashed out scared me to death" Becca said "I couldn't bear to bring a baby into that and I knew you would never let me get away with an abortion, so I decided to tell you I lost the baby instead"

Brax couldn't believe what he was hearing; he never thought in a million years that Becca was capable of such lies.

"You did what?" Heath yelled "Why would you do that, do you have any idea about all the guilt I have had to live with over the years"

"Heath please" Becca tried to grab heath but he shrugged her off.

"You let me think I killed our baby" Heath spat furiously "Why would you do that?"

"Because I was scared Heath" Becca argued "You were going to hit me that night, I couldn't bring a baby into that"

Brax's eye's widened when Becca mentioned the part about Heath nearly hitting her, it was at that moment he realised Heath was the reason Becca fell

"You were scared. You didn't want our baby" heath yelled "What about what I wanted? The minute you fell I knew what I had done. The person I was turning into. I would have been different if we kept the baby" Heath's voice had changed from fury to devastation.

"I didn't know that then, I just needed to get away from you get away from us and the toxic couple we had become" Becca continued to try and explain herself to Heath "Please baby I'm sorry" she said as she tried to touch him again.

Heath shrugged her off "I can't deal with this now" he spat furiously as he stomped towards the door.

"Heath where are you going?" Brax asked.

"Out I need to get away from her" Heath snapped as he looked back at Becca before finally slamming the front door closed behind him.

"I didn't want to hurt him" Becca sighed as she turned to Brax "I would never deliberately do that to him"

"What did you think telling him would do?" Brax snapped honestly "Do you have any idea how much he loves you? Or how bad he felt after the accident?"

"I'm sorry" Becca replied with tears in her eyes.

"Save it for him, it's him you need to apologise too" Brax replied as he disappeared into the bathroom, leaving Becca sat in the lounge completely by herself. She couldn't believe how stupid she had been, why the hell did she have to blurt out the truth like that.

Whether Becca liked it or not, she was now faced with the possibility of losing Heath forever.
