Theories for book four

[jennpenn926]

All of the above and is this order:

• Eva needs to tell her Dad face-to-face she's marrying Gideon (or perhaps to tell him the truth -- they are already married but planning a second, formal wedding for family purposes.
• Cary needs to see Dr. Travis -- his whole life turned upside down when Tatiana told him she's having his baby.
• Eva feels the need to talk to Brett face to face about the sex tape. (NO!!!! You don't need to be talking to the guy, Eva!!! And most certainly not seeing him fact to face anymore.)

I think Brett and Eva do need to have one more encounter. Where she tells him about the sex tape he reveals he already knew about it and kinda wants it released to help boost the Six-Ninth fame. Which will only prove he doesn't really care about Eva at all. And maybe she will get through her head he only wants her for sex. L.UST ISN'T LOVE. H.ELL IMO he already made her look like a s.lut with the Golden video. And just maybe this is my hope Brett tries to kiss her she says no and he doesn't listen so she has to krav maga his a.ss. so bye bye Brett for good.

I know she has used her Krav Maga skills to defend herself from Gideon when he has had a nightmare. But I so want her to use the skills on someone who is awake at the time! Someone who deserves it. Hah!

Lets face it everyone on this forum wants Eva to use her finely honed Krav Maga skills on someone other than Gideon but my first choice is Anne Lucas , Deanna and then Chris Jr in that order...

I actually totally disagree with you about #3. When having a conversation about something as sensitive as a sex tape, Eva needs to be able to gauge Brett's reactions It is much harder to tell if someone is telling you the truth (especially someone you don't really know that well) when you cannot see their face and their instant physical reaction to what you tell them.

If it was me, I could never fully trust what Brett told me over the phone about such a sensitive subject. There would always be doubt in my mind as to his honesty. However if I could look into his eyes and judge his immediate reaction (shock/horror/guilt/shame) I would know the truth.

Just as Eva knew the truth the day she confronted Corinne at her apartment - "I saw the answer on her face. It was lightning quick, there and gone, but I saw it.

Both of those suggestions are absurd, she said."

If Eva had phoned Corinne that day rather than confront her face to face, she would never have been as sure of the truth.

You make a good argument -- but I think Gideon ought to be the one to talk to Brett about the sex tape, because Gideon is the one making absolutely certain its mere existence stays a deep, secret.

 

Gideon already had planned to talk to Brett about Deanna Johnson, making sure Brett kept his mouth shut to the reporter -- because Deanna actually did know the truth about the kiss and the fight that followed. I think he must have, based on how Brett brushed off Deanna later in the story.

 

Eva has no business trying to be friends with a guy who has made it crystal clear repeatedly he wants her sexually and romantically. She's fooling herself that it will work. She's even fooling herself about her own motives -- her unconscious motive is to punish Gideon for going out with Corrine again for two-plus weeks, letting the whole world believe they'd reunited. Eva is allowing herself to be connected publicly with Brett in a way that has people speculating she and Brett are getting back together.

 

And she's guilty of sending Brett mixed messages -- the exact same thing Gideon is guilty of having done with Corrine.

 

Let Gideon handle the sex tape. She needs to cut off all contact with Brett.

100% with you on that statement. Especially the last statement.

He(Brett) needs a dear John letter of sorts.

I vote for her using them on Sam !

[sscrph]

Oh yes!! I forgot about that little weasel!!!

[Nrock]

Actually I'm still carrying a bit of a torch for Brett. I'd like to see him beat the sh*t out of Sam and apologize to Eva. Maybe even shake hands with Gideon and accept defeat. I'd like there to be a peaceful, if regretful resolution to the struggle over Eva. Just hoping...

I'm with you on this one Nrock. Brett hasn't actually done anything wrong at this point except persue an ex who may or may not be involved with someone else.

The first time they see each other in 4 years - he kisses her AND she kisses him back

When he calls on her a few days later - she invites him to lunch. When he asks her about her relationship status with Gideon she is vague (she is unsure of the answer herself as Gideon had dinner with Corinne the night before and avoided talking to her) although she says she is in love with Gideon.

The next time he calls - he knows for a fact (at least he thinks he does) that Gideon and Eva are finished and Gideon is back with his ex. He's sure he has a chance now, and Eva agrees to go out with him. Sure she says she just wants to be friends but she'll come around.

The night of the Golden event - this is the night that Gideon and Eva publicly reunite. As far as Brett or anyone else knows this is the first time they've spoken in weeks. From Brett's point of view, if Eva is willing to give Gideon another chance after what he's done, she should be willing to give him one too. And she must like him, she agreed to this date didnt she?

Up until the end of EWY, every time Brett & Eva are in contact, Eva's relationship with Gideon is unstable (at least publicly) Brett has every reason to think that she'll eventually get tired of the way Gideon treats her and she'll give him another chance.

I truly believe once Eva can finally be truthful with Brett, and tell him just how serious she and Gideon are (engaged/married) and he will bow out gracefully. And if he doesn't, I have no doubt that Eva will Krav Maga his Arse!!!

I agree Nrock I am still in Brett's corner and hope he accepts defeat gracefully; I think Gideon will always have a problem with him so I'm not sure he can remain in Eva's life as a friend. If the band does achieve mega stardom like it sounds , he will be out of the picture anyway on tour etc and maybe he will find another GOLDEN out there somewhere but I do think he will always be waiting in the wings...

^^^ THIS

 

And not once -- once -- has Brett fought dirty.

 

Unlike Crazy Corrine and Devious Deanna.

 

Mad Magdalene did come out swinging at first, but when she figured out Gideon loved Eva and vice versa, she bowed out gracefully and has been on Team Gideon Deserves To Be Happy ever since.

 

Bummed Brett, I think, will turn into the same class act that Maggie did -- he'll know when to throw in the towel.

We need to make up a list of everyone's names. Ahem-let's see-who's really good at that stuff..................?

I agree! If given all the facts and a chance Brett may just surprise us . I think he could  help with the tape. Once he realizes that Eva & Gideon are married and do love each other, he will get the message. 

[xfire]

This is my prediction about the whole wedding and when everyone will know; and other events.

In the last chapter of EWU, while Gideon is helping Eva is getting ready  for the charity event: he makes a comment about showing off his wife, Eva says, no one knows I am your wife. Gideon's response; "I know it." He came up behind me and secured my zipper. "And soon -really soon- the whole world will know it."

 I do think that the news will hit, via Deanna about their wedding on the island. I am having second thoughts on whether or not the photos will be released. But I think by Saturday this will be the top society news. This needs to be made public to help the couple move forward in dealing with the video, Brett, Corinne & the families. I think on Friday Eva will take her mother to lunch & break the news to her; promising that she can still plan the second New York wedding. Eva will tell Cary on Friday. When Eva gets to San Diego she can tell her dad and also ask him to walk her down the aisle. Gideon will tell Ireland.

I think that Gideon lets Eva go to San Diego with Cary, he has to trust her, but there will be security. But , Gideon will fly out on Saturday to deal with the s*x tape. Eva will confront Brett by herself about her & Gideon being married, so no chance for Brett. She might have to use a little Krav Maga.

Gideon & Elizabeth will have to have a showdown. Gideon will not let Elizabeth bad mouth Eva or try to blame Eva for his problems. I think that he will pay a visit to mommy dearest & lay it on the line. Gideon will tell her she needs to accept certain truths or forget having him in her life at all.

Gideon will have to face the abuse and his feelings of guilt over Corinne in order to heal. Thankfully, he will have Eva by his side to face all of these things. It will make him stronger, since they can face the problems together.

Not quite sure about Megumi, worried that she has been sick. Did her boyfriend assault her, could her boyfriend be Christopher Jr.

The other thing is I am not to sure about Will, the new guy at the office.

The 10th floor is going to be for Eva. This will be for her foundation. Will she also take over running Gideon's foundation -Crossroads. Mark will come work there also.

Monica has to come clean with Eva about her past. I do not think that she was an escort or call girl. I think she is definitely ashamed of what she had to do to  make a living when Eva was young, before her first marriage. Has she lost the money that she got in that divorce? Did she have to bail out husband 2, or does she have a connection to the mob because of him? Is the marriage between her & Stanton loveless? Is this more of a business transaction: he needs a trophy wife, Monica needs the security of money & social position. Stanton will give Monica everything she needs & take care of Eva, if Monica is there on his arm & fulfilling all the social needs. 

When Monica was pregnant with Eva , I wonder if she still had contact with Victor. I think she must have; she agreed to name Eva after Victor's mom. With this being said, I think that Victor must have contact with Monica & Eva; I don't think he would have let her job be as an escort or the like.  But then I wonder if maybe she was a show girl in Vegas. I figure Monica is only 42 years old.

 

Ok so I feel that I have rambled enough! Sorry! We just need books 4 & 5!!

I would agree with you if Eva wasn't married.  I think she needs to make it clear to Brett that she is off the market.  She also needs to see his reaction about the tape.  Eva can handle herself when she wants to and she will handle Brett.

I'm surprised that everyone has forgiven Brett so easily when he embarrassed Eva with the Golden video.  At the very least, if he is really such a good guy, he would have given her a heads up so she wouldn't be blindsided in front of the press and everyone else.  Also I don't see someone who loves an ex and then says I'll win you back once I'm inside you.  I would expect him to say let me wine and dine you and win my way back into your heart.  The sex will follow, however, at this point, Eva is just a " with legs" to him.  Sylvia is full of surprises so she may surprise me about Brett but right now I'm not a fan.

[Sharonm745]

as far as we know now Sam isn't Brett's fault.  We won't know for sure until book 4 is in our hands.

You can look at the Golden video from another perspective that since Brett is creative and artistic that was his way of wining and dining Eva and showing her that their past meant something to him .... But you are correct when you say he is all about the sex , as Eva said she never really got to know him but I do think his feelings are sincere and he wants to get to know her and spend time with her . It is just very apparent that what they HAD can in no way compare to what GidEva HAVE...there is really no contest.
