Stefano walked over and poured her a glass of wine. He walked back and gave it to Marlena but she just held it in her hand without drinking it.
John woke up in a holding cell with no one around. “No, where the hell am I?” John said looking around the cell.
It was empty except for a tray of food. He toke the tray of food and threw it against the wall in anger.
Marlena sat at the couch refusing to even look at Stefano as he stared at her. “You know Marlena your going to have to say something.” He told her. “I don’t have to say anything to you.” She told him.
Marlena toke a sip of the wine Stefano gave her and looked at it curiously. “I told you it was not drugged Marlena. You can trust me; I do not want to hurt you, ever.” He said to her as she bit her lip down.
John’s cell was dark and there was nothing but walls all around him. He remembered being pulled over by the cop but doesn’t remember anything after that. He screamed in anger until is face got red and someone opened the door to the cell.
Marlena was tired of just sitting on the couch so she stood up and turned her back to Stefano. Stefano got up though and walked towards her turning her around to him. “What do you want now?” Marlena asked angrily.
Marlena tried to pull away from Stefano but his grip on her arms became tighter. “You know what I want, I want you, and you will give into me.” Stefano told her looking deep into her eyes. “No, you have hurt me and my family too much; I will never give into you. You’re taking me away from my children again, Belle needs me, and John saved me from you last time and will bring me back to her again.” She said strongly. “John will not be able to see your precious Isabella again.” Stefano replied. “What do you mean by that, what have you done to my John.” She said furiously. “You will not take both of my daughter’s parents away from her; I will never let you do that.” “Ah but you see I am not taking Belle away from you.” Stefano said letting go of his grip on Marlena’s arms. “What do you mean? Are you going to let me be with my daughter?” She asked with confusion.
John watched closely as someone opened the door to his cell. “Who’s there?” He yelled.
It was Kristen as she shut the door quietly behind her. “Kristen, what are you doing?” He asked. “I’m sorry John but I can’t let you be with Marlena, you have to understand this.” Kristen replied. “No Kristen, let me out of here.” John said.
John walked towards her but it something solid that was invisible in front of him. “Ah what was that?” John asked. “It’s clear glass John. It was the only way I could look at you without you trying to escape.” She replied. “Kristen this isn’t funny let me out of here.” He said with a storm of anger. “John, I know you still love me, I never meant to hurt you, and you must forgive me.” She told him. “Kristen no, let me out of here so I can be with Marlena.” John said banging against the glass.
Marlena was now looking at Stefano with curiosity about what he said. “Stefano, tell me, what did you mean by your not taking Belle away from me?” She asked him. “Once you accept your life with me Marlena, I will bring Belle to you, to live with us.” He told her. “No Stefano I told you before I do not want my daughter raised in a life with you.” Marlena told him sternly. “Well, your choice, but its either she comes to live with us or she can be put in an orphanage.” Stefano told her. “No, Belle can not live in an orphanage, I can’t let that happen.” Marlena replied. “Well, it’s up to you.” He told her.
Stefano sat back down in the chair as Marlena thought about Belle. She could never let Belle go through her life without her mother. What was she going to do though? Why wasn’t John going to be able to take care of Belle? What had Stefano done with John? Her mind was racing now with thoughts of her daughter.
John was filled with rage of what Kristen did. “Kristen listen to me, you have to let me go.” John yelled. “Why John, why should I let you go.” She told him. “Kristen what happened to you, your loving personality.” He asked her. “What happened? You could never let go of Marlena, and this time there is no chance you two getting back together. Without Marlena I know you can love me John.” Kristen replied. “No Kristen that is not true, don’t you remember anything I said? I loved you for the loving woman you were, not the woman who would take me away from the only woman I have truly loved.” John said. “John, I am still that person, and its not like you will ever see Marlena again, Stefano has taken her away. You can’t save her, and she can’t save you.” She told him. “NOOOOOOO!!!” He yelled.
