Previously:
Set 150 years ago, Belle Black lives with her parents on Manhattan Island, Shawn lives with his parents in the city. People are trying to keep these twp apart but who will win, people interfering or destiny.
Shawn walked into his home, and smiled when he heard his mothers voice. He knew he wouldn't be able to go on if she died. Bo looked confused as Shawn entered the bedroom with a tall man.
"Who's this Shawn?" He asked wearily.
"This is Dr. Collins Dad. He's going to take mum to the hospital."
"Shawn, we cannot afford this."
"We can Dad." As not to worry his mother, Shawn pulled his father outside the bedroom. "The girl you saw me with last week. Her father has a lot of money."
"That guy did not like us Shawn."
"I don't know why, but he gave me money to help my mother, and I want to use it. I don't care where it came from."
"Your right Shawn. Thank God. This is good news. Lets tell your mother."
Belle didn't sleep all night. She was still concerned about Shawn, and Gerald's remarks about her father. Could her father really have had a romance with a girl from the city? Either way, Belle couldn't wait any longer to see Shawn. As she snuck down stairs she could hear her parents speaking in the other room. It was obviously an important conversation becasue they didn't hear Belle sneak out the front door. And it was an important conversation. John decided Belle should be given a chance with this boy she met. Marlena wasn't so keen.
"John, this boy is no good for Isabella. Good lord, she should be with Daniel. He's an honest hardworking boy, who can support our daughter in years to come."
"Who are we to say who SHOULD be with Isabella?"
"What happened to make you change your mind so quickly."
"Let's just say Isabella and this Shawn brought back memories that would make me a hypocrite if I continued to put obstacles in their way."
"What does that mean? She is a young girl, and we both know the boys from the city can not be trusted. Now what memories are you talking about. God, have you had an affair John?"
"No Marlena. I need a walk." John left the room, slamming the door behind her.
Another thing that confused Belle was hearing John saying he had given Shawn money to help his mother. She knew she had to make her way to the hospital.
Back at the Black house, Daniel had arrived to see Belle, but was greeted by Marlena instead.
"Come in Daniel. I'll just go and get Isabella." As she went to leave the room, John blocked her path.
"Isabella is not here Marlena."
"What. Where is she John?"
"She went out with Gerald to pick up a few things in the city." John had realised that Belle had gone, and was probably with Shawn. He knew Gerald was out, and decided to give his daughter a break, hoping she wouldn't let him down.
"Oh what a shame, Daniel has just come to see her."
"Back luck Daniel. Try again tomorrow." John left the two alone.
Daniel went to leave when Marlena grabbed his arm. "Listen Daniel, how much do you want to be with my daughter."
"A lot Mrs Black. Isabella is a dear girl, and with my background, I know I'll be able to support her for a lifetime."
"Good. Then you can help me out."
"What can I do?"
"Make sure this Shawn NEVER gets close to my Isabella. Do whatever you must, but keep him away from Isabella."
"I will Mrs Black." As he left Marlena called.
"And Daniel. When I said do whatever you must, I mean WHATEVER. The city is a dirty place, full of diseased commoners. People get hurt and die each day. Shawn likes Isabella, and if she falls in love with him, you will never have a chance with her."
"Its OK Mrs Black. I know what to do." Daniel smiled slyly at Marlena.
