"I know his name because he's my husband. He's Ethan Black."
"Ex-husband!" Ethan sneered finding his tongue.
Nicole snatched away from his hand as the truth came to her. She grasped her chest not knowing if she could breathe through all of this. "You're her husband?" She took several steps back. "You know all the time. You knew I was her daughter, didn't you?!" she screamed. "Didn't you?!"
Ethan closed his eyes, trying to remain calm. This wasn't how he'd planned it. This wasn't how he was supposed to feel.
She needed no confirmation from him, to know exactly what was going on. "You stay away from me," she seethed barely able to get the words out. "I never want to see you again...EVER." With that she ran down the street.
Ethan wanted to go after her -he really did, but his feet wouldn't move, his body wouldn't follow. Instead he turned around to see that look in Lynne's eyes -that angry, confused, and defeated look.
"You went after my daughter?" she asked blinking hard. "Even after you destroyed me financially and sociably, you still went after my daughter? How could you?"
He grounded out the cigarette and smiled wickedly. "I was trying to be like you and keep it all in the family, Lynne."
"Are you done with your deceit?" she asked disgustedly. "Or would you like to go to the hospital and fuck my mother too before she dies?"
