#Chapter 83 – Ethan’s Confession
How did it come to this? I think morosely. How did everything go so wrong so quickly?
I’d like to think I’ve been shielding the pups from the truth about what happened between Jane and I all those years ago for their own safety and peace of mind, but if I’m honest, I think I’ve been protecting myself. I know how horribly I messed up with Jane, and as badly as it hurt to see my former mate looking at me with that expression of utter betrayal, seeing it on the faces of my innocent pups is worse. When I left the house this morning I was their hero,
now I’m their villain.
“Why don’t you come sit down.” I suggest to the pups, hoping they’ll agree. How am I ever going to explain this to them? They’re too young to even understand a fraction of it.
Despite my tormented thoughts, they obey. One by one they toddle into the living room,
settling on the sofa while I take a seat on the edge of the coffee table in front of them. I search their young faces for any hint of
openness, but they all seem completely
closed off.
“Listen.” I begin, not even knowing where I’m going with this. “I made a lot of
mistakes in the past, and I did a lot of things
I’m not proud of, but I love you and I love
your Mommy more than anything.”
The quadruplets exchange meaningful glances, “what does that mean?” Ryder
questions.
“It means that it’s true. Eve tricked me into
believing something terrible about Mommy,
and… I punished her.” I confess, “I put her
on house arrest.”
“But how could you b’lieve Eve?” Riley
demands, clearly affronted on her mother’s
behalf.
“Because I didn’t know how evil she was
then.” I explain, “I don’t have any other
excuse. I was a fool – I let her make a fool of
me, and believing her is the biggest regret of
my life, second only to how I treated your Mommy afterwards.”
“Wha’s house arrest?” Parker inquired,
clearly distracted by my previous choice of
words.
“It’s like what Paisley said, a permanent
time out.” I share.
“So you made Mommy a prisner,” Riley
summarizes, “for something she didn’ do.’
“Yes.” I concede. “That’s right. I made her
