Ethan came in to Whitney’s room and sat down on the bed and took. Whitney in his arms and gave Whitney a kiss on the forehead as she slept and rocked her. Oh baby I will never let anyone hurt you again. I love you so much. As Whitney slept she started having visions of what happened in Alistair office. Alistair get your hands off me stop.

Not a common little slut like you. Alistair said you are going to pay for that he started then she started screaming. Whitney was yelling in her sleep stop you are hurting. Ethan said Whitney baby wake up. Whitney woke up shaking get your hands off of me Ethan.

Chapter Four

Brenda and Theresa and Gwen were talking. I can’t believe that bastard raped Whitney. Brenda said taking her fist in her hand. How am I going to tell Fox? They are best friends he will be devastated and want to take his pain out on Alistair. As Brenda got up and pasted the floor. Theresa said Brenda calm down o.k. we have to be there for Whitney. She the most important thing right now we have to get her though this. As Theresa hugged Brenda you are right. Whit is the most important thing right now. Theresa turned toward Gwen. How will this affect her pregnancy?

I am going to be honest Theresa. Whit could lose the baby. She so traumatized by what Alistair did to her. But I have to keep a close eye on her for the next couple of days. But the most promising thing is that she hasn’t lost the baby right now. So that proves right now what a strong little baby she has. I am also afraid what will happen when Dylan finds out Theresa. You know he thinks of Whit as his sister. When you told Ric he blew his top. You couldn’t stop him from leaving the mansion.

As Gwen drank her tea I know he was so mad I am afraid he went to find Alistair to kill him. Or worse yet call his brother Sonny Corinthios to take care of Alistair. Sonny Brenda said. Yeah that right you met him. Theresa said. Oh that’s right the cute sexy mobster who tried to hit on me at you and Ric wedding. Theresa started laughing boy he made Fox see red.

I thought he was going to punch Sonny out when he would not stop flirting with you. Yeah Brenda as Gwen starting laughing too Dylan and Ric had to step in between the two of them before they came to blows. Then after that remember Sonny thought Whit was kind of fly and started flirting with her. I thought Ethan was going to have a cow. Whit is so bad she flirted back because she and Ethan had just had that fight about Eric Brady.

Remember how Eric was trying to get Whitney back from Ethan. Eric Brady a fine hunk of a man you know he still causes trouble from time to time ya know. Brenda started smiling. Well Fox has nothing to worry about I love only him. I could never fall for someone like Sonny he is so not my type. It was nice to laugh for only a moment. Then there thoughts went to Whitney again. Fox and Dylan hey ladies what is going on how’s Whitney?!

Chapter Five

Ethan was still holding a sleeping Whitney in his arms. He can’t sleep his mind is racing. Why wasn’t I there I promised to protect you no matter what? Ethan was full of self hate at the moment cause he could not save her from his evil dead grandfather. Now you have our baby on the way. How can I help you heal? What if you turn to Fox instead of me? You two are so close he was there long before I was. What if he the only one that can reach you?

Well I have to put that little jealously I have about you two aside if he can help you more than I can that is how it will be. I have never been so sad and so happy at the same time. We going to have a baby I am going to be a father we are pregnant. But you had the most brutal attack happen to you by my grandfather.


No one will ever hurt you or our baby again I promise you that. I would kill them first. You are the love of my life my reason for living my soul mate. What ever it takes what ever I have to do I will be there for you no matter what. Whitney I love you honey. Don’t push me away. Please God don’t let her push me away. Ethan held her as he had tears streaming down his face.

Chapter 6
Fox walked over to Brenda and kissed her. Dylan followed suit and did the same with Gwen. Hey baby Brenda said as Fox hugged her. Fox knew Brenda all to well and knew the news wasn’t good about Whitney. What is it Brenda what happened with Whitney. Gwen examined her. Then Fox turned to Gwen. Gwen is she o.k. Dylan said yeah honey how is she.

Gwen said well physically she will be fine. Whit and Ethan are going to have a baby. Dylan was overjoyed and Fox was happy but had a strange look on his face. Brenda looked at Fox what is wrong Fox. Fox said looked at Brenda why I get the feeling there is something you are not telling us. Gwen looked at Dylan and Brenda looked at Fox. Dylan started to get upset o.k. what the hell is going on. Gwen looked at both Dylan and Fox and said in a somber voice Alistair raped Whitney. Dylan heart sank and Fox heart was broken neither man could say a word.

Chapter 7

Earlier in the Evening

Alistair was sitting at his desk in his office at Crane Industries, when there was a knock at his door. Come in he said as he lit the cigar. Whitney came in to his office what the hell did you want Alistair? Alistair got up and walked over to Whitney. That Mr. Crane to you and how dare you talk to me like that as he got in Whitney’s face. Whitney looked at him with pure hated in her eyes and said I can talk to you any way I damn well please. Now why did you summon me here? I have far more pressing things to do than to be seen with the likes of you.

You better show me some respect girl or you will regret it. Now to the matter at hand Whitney here is 2 million dollars I want you to stop seeing my grandson starting right now. Whitney started laughing you think money means anything to me. I love Ethan and I will not stop seeing him. Alistair said oh you will take the money or Ethan will find about your past with my youngest grandson.

Whitney said Ethan knows everything about my past with Fox Alistair. Ethan doesn’t know how close you and Fox really are now does he. Whitney just stared at him. Fox and I have been best friends since we were kids everyone knows that so what is your point. Oh yes but Ethan doesn’t know everything about your relationship to Fox and you know it. Ethan is a little jealous of that and if he knew about it he would never forgive you and dump you anyway. So either way you lose Ethan and I am happy. Well Alistair you can take you money and shove it. I will never give up Ethan and I will take anyone out who tries to come between us you got that as she got into his face and slap the taste out of his mouth. Alistair grabbed her.

Then Whitney woke up screaming NO NO NO I WILL NOT LET YOU TAKE ETHAN AWAY FROM ME. GET YOUR HAND OFF ME ALISTAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ethan looked over at her and said baby I am here I am here. Whitney jerked away from him in a panic because she was seeing Alistair’s face. Don’t touch me! Just don’t touch me get away Ethan kind of back away and just talked to her Whitney look at me look at my face baby. It me Ethan I am not Alistair. Look at my face baby. When she began to focus Ethan’s face she busted out crying. As she reached for Ethan I am sorry I thought he was back and hurting me again. It o.k. baby I love you I am here no one going to hurt you again I stake my life on it.

Chapter Eight

As dawn drew near light of the morning sun started to peak into the shade of Ethan and Whitney’s bedroom at the Crane Mansion. Ethan totally exhausted and worried about the events of the past night the effects of what happened to Whitney and there unborn child. He had fallen a sleep holding a still shaken and bruised Whitney. One million thoughts when into his mind as he slept Whitney woke up shaken but Ethan was so exhausted he didn’t her stir her stomach was queasy and she was very sore. She ran into the bathroom and threw up. She went to brush her teeth. There was a full length mirror in the bathroom as she passed it she saw herself for the first time after the rape. She had bruise on her arms and face. She started to cry at what that animal Alistair did to her. She ripped of her gown and looked at her naked body, she started to weep bitterly how could you do this to me Alistair how could you! She felt dirty and unworthy of Ethan’s love. How could he love me how could he want me now!? Whitney was screaming at the mirror and she took her hands and put her wrist and forearms though the glass of the mirror cutting her wrist and breaking the glass all over the floor.

Chapter Nine

Ethan jumped up out of bed after he heard Whitney terrible screaming crying as the crash of glass breaking hit the floor. Ethan came running though the door seeing his Whitney arms and wrist in a pool of blood still beating the broken glass of what was left of the mirror unaware that she cut herself or where she was even at. Ethan ran over to her WHITNEY OH MY GOD BABY! Whitney started to fight Ethan seeing Alistair’s face come near her. Leave me alone I will kill you. Ethan wasted no time he picked her up and ran her over to the sink and put her wrist and fore arms under water to get all of the blood away from her arms and wrist. Whitney was still screaming and totally shaken up. Ethan ran and tore bed sheets off into little pieces and tied her wrist off so that the blood would seep out any more. He then put her robe on her. He picked her up and placed her on the bed. Whitney was totally hysterical telling Ethan not to touch her she was violently jerking away from him and saying Alistair leave me alone. Alistair I hate you your going to die. Whitney got away from Ethan and ran towards the door when she opened it. She saw Fox standing there and she collapsed in his arms.
