The Tower's, Floor Three; Shelley's Condo

"Hang tight, I'm coming," Shelley calls out from the kitchen of her condo as she hears someone knocking on her door non-stop. She has no idea what could be so urgent but she plans on finding out what is going on. She opens the door and sees Dawn on the other side of the door. "Dawn, what has gotten into you? I kept saying I was coming but you wouldn't stop banging on the door? What's up?"

Dawn pushes her way into the condo moves into the living room. "I know," she fumes back to Shelley. "I know everything."

"You're going to have to be more specific," Shelley moves up behind her. "What do you know?"

Dawn turns around and looks her former lover in the eyes. "I know that you slept with Cheresa!" Dawn yells at her. "How could you do that to me? How could you sleep with the woman I love?"

"She told you?" Shelley gasps back to her as she thought that she and Cheresa were going to keep their fling a secret.

"Yea, she told me! You wanted her to keep quiet? Let me in the dark? Play me like a fool?"

"I wanted to do whatever made Cheresa feel comfortable," Shelley replies to her. "Look Dawn, I know that you're upset by this and I totally get it but you have to know that Cheresa and I didn't plan this, it just happened. And it only happened once."

"You think that makes me feel better?" Dawn asks her back, still furious with her. "You knew how much Cheresa meant to me and you still had sex with her, Shelley."

"I know," Shelley shakes her head back to Dawn. "The question is, what can I do to make this right? How can we move beyond this? Cause, kid, we've been through too much to let this ruin us."

The Lawson Estate; Greg, Brad, Abby & Cheresa's Home

Cheresa slowly moves over to the bar in the lavish living room of the estate that she grew up and slowly removes the lid for the vodka. She pours some into a glass and quickly takes a swig of it. She doesn't drink very often but seeing how upset Dawn was by her affair with Shelley, Cheresa felt like she needed something to calm her nerves. She has never seen Dawn so upset before; she just hopes that in time, she will come to realize that it was a mistake.

"I have to make you realize that Shelley and I only happened once and it never happened again," Cheresa whispers to herself before she takes another drink of vodka.

"You're drinking, what is wrong?" a voice calls out from the foyer. Cheresa turns her head and is stunned to see Brooke standing in the house looking at her daughter.

"Mom?" Cheresa puts the vodka glass down and rushes to her mother. "You're home? I can't believe that this is happening," Cheresa says as she pulls Brooke into a hug.

"I am home," Brooke smiles to her daughter as they hold each other. "I couldn't stay away after I heard about Abby's fall. How is she?"

"She is fine," Cheresa replies to her as they exit their embrace. "She had a mild concussion but I think she will get to leave the hospital today."

"Thank God," Brooke says back to her. "I'm just sorry I wasn't here when it happened."

"Don't worry about that," Cheresa waves her hand back to her mother. "I'm so glad that you're home."

"What is going on?" Brooke asks her daughter. "It's not like you to have a drink, is everything okay?"

"No," Cheresa admits to her. "Nothing is okay right now, my life is a complete mess."

"Do you want to talk about me?" Brooke asks her as she moves Cheresa to the sofa in the living room. "You know that I'm always here for you."

"I wouldn't even know where to begin," Cheresa admits to her as she sits on the sofa.

"How about at the beginning?" Brooke looks at her daughter. "I want to know everything and then I'll tell you how I can help."

The Richardson Estate; Meggan, Lukas & Donovan's Home

"I think we are almost done," Donovan tells Lukas as he sets a yellow pillow down on the bay window ledge of the nursey that they are putting together for their child that they are adopting. Donovan looks around the room and thinks the nursey is looking pretty darn good, considering they have put it together over a couple of days.

"I think you're right," Lukas replies to him. "We don't want to put too much in here, you know that we are going to get a ton of gifts once we bring the little one home."

Donovan smiles back to his husband. "I almost can't believe it Lukas," Donovan tells him. "In about a month's time, we are going to be parents. It's hard to believe."

"You and me both," Lukas moves up to him and grabs his hand. "But I am so excited for this. I think this will bring you and I closer together than ever before."

Donovan leans in and kisses his husband on the lips. "I hope so," he whispers to him as their lips part. "Because I am excited to start this adventure with you Lukas, and there's no one else I'd rather do it with."

The Pampa Grill

"I am having a hard time believing that Abby suddenly wants this baby," Albertinah admits to Andrew as they sit across from one another in the restaurant. Andrew just finished telling Albertinah that Abby has changed her mind about the adoption of their unborn child as a result of her fall; Andrew, of course, was upset with Abby's decision as he still doesn't feel like he is ready to be a father, but Abby was insistent that she was going to keep the baby now.

"You're telling me," Andrew takes a sip of his beer. "All these months of planning for an adoption gone because Abby had a change of heart."

"I get that it's her decision but she should really take into account your feelings," Albertinah replies to him quickly. "You're also impacted by her decisions."

"She told me that if I want nothing to do with the child that she will raise the baby on her own," he reveals to her. "It threw me for a loop."

"What are you going to do?"

Andrew shrugs back to her. "I have no idea," he admits to her. "I still don't feel like I am ready to be a father but maybe that is something I have to get over?"

"Have you considered that Abby might change her mind again?" Albertinah asks him. "She still has a few weeks away before she is going to deliver the baby."

"I don't know," Andrew looks back at her. "If you had seen the look in her eyes when she told her new plan, she was so focused. I don't think she will change her mind again."

"Then you have to decide what you're going to do," Albertinah grabs his hand and squeezes it. "You can be firm with her and tell her you want her to give the baby up or you can choose to walk away from the baby when it is born. Of course, you could find out that you're a great father if you stay in the child's life too."

"I think I'm going to need another beer," Andrew quips back to her. "Something to help clear my head because right now, I am thinking of a million different possibilities."

***

Tyler moves into restaurant looking to grab some take out for him and Daisy for later in the day. He knows that she is at the hospital right now because Brett is getting discharged from the hospital and she wanted to be there for support. He is just glad that the DNA test results came back to prove that Brett is the twin that is alive; the last thing anyone needed was for Vinny to still be alive and well.

He turns to go to the bar and sees Natasha sitting by herself with a glass of white wine in front of her. He gulps as he thinks about the last time that he saw her as he ended their affair because Daisy returned to him. He feels bad for how things ended with her but he didn't see any other options; of course, Daisy still hasn't really told him how she feels knowing that he and Natasha were sleeping together.

"Nat, hey," he comes up next to her.

Natasha looks over at Tyler in surprise as she wasn't expecting to see him. "Hi Tyler," she replies to him. "This is a surprise."

"Yea, I'm just grabbing some takeout," he tells her. "How've you been?"

"Uh," Natasha uneasily replies to him. "Good, I guess. How are you?"

"Not bad," he nods back to her. "The DNA test proved that Vinny died, so I am relieved by that."

"Congratulations," she takes a sip of her wine. "I know how much you wanted that."

"I did," Tyler tells her. "You know, for the record, I am sorry about how things ended with us. I never meant to hurt you."

"And I never meant to hurt you," Natasha says back to him. "But such is life, right? Looks like your order is up."

Tyler grabs the food from the bartender. "If you ever need anything, I'm here for you Nat. Just because we aren't together doesn't mean that I don't care anymore."

"Noted," Natasha bites her lower lip back to him. "Take care of yourself, Tyler."

Robertson Enterprises

"I came as soon as you called me," Eva announces to Dominick as she moves into his office. Eva had hoped that her husband would reach out to her to discuss their marriage since she knows that he has been livid with her since her affair with Will was exposed. She has been trying to make it up to him but he has continued to push her away; so, to get a call from Dominick must mean that he is ready to make amends with her. "I'm so glad that you're ready to talk, Dominick and put our marriage back together."

"You're unbelievable, you know that," Dominick coldly replies to her as he pours himself a brandy from the bar in his office. He takes a drink before he looks back at his wife. "You've gone too far this time, Eva."

Eva shakes her head in confusion. "I … I don't understand," Eva replies to him quickly. "What is it that you think I've done?"

"I can give you three million different answers," he sneers at her. "Did you really think that I wouldn't find out that you took money from Robertson's offshore accounts?"

Eva's mouth opens in shock. "What are you talking about? What money in the offshore accounts?"

"Don't play dumb with me Eva," Dominick yells at his wife. "You probably knew that I was going to divorce you so you took some insurance money to ensure you were well taken care of! Only, you forgot that everything in the company is tracked. Now, I'm going to give you 24 hours to give me back my money, or so help me God!"

"And, I am telling you Dominick, I did not take any money from Robertson Enterprises!" Eva defends herself to her husband. "I would never do that to you or your company! You have to believe me."

Dominick looks back at her and realizes that she is telling the truth; despite the two of them going through a rough time right now, he can tell when his wife is lying to him and she is telling the truth now.

"I believe you," Dominick whispers back to her. "But now the question becomes, who the hell stole my money?"

Roboto

"I have a million emails to get through and then I'd love it if we could have a talk," Kim looks up briefly from her laptop when she sees Robbie walk into the main office at Roboto. She recalls how she spoke to Greg recently and told him that she is drawn to Robbie and she wants to explore what that means; she has no idea how Robbie will react to hearing this news but she is excited to share this with him.

"Yea, I'd like that too," Robbie tells her as he moves to the bar and pours himself a cup of water. "Anything special in those emails that I should know about? I was hoping we'd hear back from the marketing team on the final layout of the hairspray launch."

"Not that I've seen yet," Kim continues look in her inbox. "Wait, what is this?" she asks in concern as she opens an email. Robbie turns to face her as Kim reads the email in concern. She stands up and quickly moves to the desk where she picks up the phone. "This is Kim Calimo, I need answers on the email you sent me today?"

There is a pause before Kim puts her hand to her forehead. "That doesn't make any sense! Those accounts are completely restricted from public access, only the executive team can access those accounts! …. You better damn well find out what happened! I want answers and I need them now!"

She hangs up the phone and moves to the bar to pour herself a drink. Robbie turns and looks back at her in surprise. "What was that all about? What was in that email?"

"Roboto has over 5 million dollars missing from some of our protected accounts," Kim reveals to him as she takes a sip of her brandy.

"What? How the hell did that happen?"

Kim looks back at him with worry on her face. "That's exactly what I intend to find out," she fumes back to him.

At the doorway, Cassie leans up against the wall with a sly grin on her face. "This is perfect," she whispers to herself. "The truth is slowly coming out and there's not a damn thing anyone can do about," she giggles to herself before she leaves the office and heads for the elevators.

The Tower's; Floor Three; Shelley's Condo

"Just like that, huh?" Dawn rolls her eyes back to her friend. "You want me to move on and forget that you slept with Cheresa?"

"I don't know?" Shelley shrugs her shoulders back to her. "I know that Cheresa and I made a mistake and we are trying to take ownership of that. So, I'm going to ask you again, what can we do to move beyond this?"

Dawn looks back at Shelley and shakes her head back to her. "There's nothing we can do, Shelley! You and Cheresa have betrayed me in the worst possible way!"

"Come on, Dawn, we have been through too much to try to not make peace with this," Shelley replies to her.

"You know what? This was a mistake," Dawn snaps at her as she grabs her purse and heads to the door.

"Don't leave when you're upset," Shelley calls out to her as Dawn books it to the door. "Let's talk about this, we can try to come up with a solution."

"There is no solution," Dawn looks back at her as she opens the front door. "You and I, we are over, Shelley. We aren't friends, we aren't anything anymore. I never want to see you again."

Shelley feels her heart sink as Dawn slams the door behind her as she leaves the condo. Shelley feels her eyes swell with water wondering if she will ever be able to get back into Dawn and Cheresa's good graces.
