Eva discovered the truth about Aidan and Maria on Monday when she returned home early and almost caught them in bed together. Aidan managed to get her out of the flat in time, but later on Eva and Leanne saw text messages between the lovers pop up on the telly – seriously, who has their text messages coming through the TV, especially if they’re cheating?!
But Eva has decided to hold onto what she knows and instead of a massive confrontation, is going to make sure Aidan pays big time – with his wallet.
Meanwhile, Aidan is a little bit distracted because Adam Barlow knows his secret and has a photo of him kissing Maria. He’s using the the snap to blackmail the factory boss to the tune of £5000 to buy his silence.
Wanting to get Eva out of the way so he can sort out Adam, plus have some alone time with his mistress, Aidan buys Eva vouchers for a spa day and claims he has to work late.
Eva immediately knows he’s lying, but manages to hide her feelings and appear grateful for the gift, before promptly ruining Aidan’s plans and inviting Maria to go with her.
As the cheating fella sees his two women heading off together, he’s horrified – especially when he hears from David that Maria is planning to tell Eva everything given Aidan’s clearly never going to come clean himself.
Aidan decides he needs to make sure nothing is said by turning up at the hotel, so he follows them to diffuse the potentially life-changing situation.
Eva pretends to be thrilled to see him arrive and is secretly enjoying watching him squirm as he tries to explain exactly what he’s doing there.
