Doctor Craig tapped his finger on the table. Unbelievable after hearing what Arman had done. This is not what Belle teaches him to be rude especially toward his dad, Victor Gibson.
He and Gibson sit in the diner and have a conversation. Gibson sighs as Doctor Craig speaks.
"That boy. How rude!"
"He is still my son, Craig. I don't blame him but I blame myself, he has my attitude. What he said just right in time to face it".
Doctor Craig takes a drink, "I cannot believe he will say that to you. He wasn't there when it happened. We are. I know Arman is your son but it would be so unpleasant to hear if Belle knew this..."
"Don't!" His eyes to Doctor Craig. "I don't want him to get in trouble just because of me reporting about our son's behavior. He doesn't know anything that he said".
"You mean he was unconscious when he said that?" Gibson shrugged, he spoke back. "So what now?"
Gibson bit his lips. "I can't just give up don't I?"
"True".
"I'll make my decision, Craig, after I've been thinking that lately I cannot do anything to win her back. I ruined her life, remember".
"But that was an old story. It's just about the past. We cannot remember that".
"But she does". His eyes stare at Doctor Craig. "Even my own son called me a murderer".
Doctor Craig clicked his tongue, Gibson spoke back. "That who I am".
"He's just a boy all right. Your marriage is still legal and you have a right to Belle. Persuade, convince her to get back to you. I know it hurts sometimes, but she must remember that she is still yours".
Gibson shook no, "I'm leaving her, Craig".
"You just come back".
"I know. But if this was good for her I will file for divorce. Besides, she got her boyfriend back and I am supposed to back off and let true love come first".
"You and Belle are the true love!"
Gibson shook no again, "I am not. I'm the destroyer, she should have married that boy, not me. I'm just the skinwalker who destroyed someone's life".
"And you giving up?"
Gibson nodded. "It's time I should learn the truth and accept the faith that Andriana Belle Decker wasn't mine anymore. I was thankful that she didn't try to kill our child".
"Because I was there for her, Gibson, if I weren't there for her, she probably did". Sighs. "She's more insane than you are".
Nodded head. "I'm proud to be their dad and I will not fight for my right nor my custody over the twins".
"Why not?" Ask Doctor Craig. "Why not you?".
"They belong to their mother, Craig. They were happy without me. I can see it. All these years they lived without me. They were fine until I came and... My presence wasn't invited, will not be to them".
Doctor Craig sighs harder again, clicking his tongue again. "Are you sure you want to do this again, Gibson? That has to be another way".
"They weren't longer need me". He patted Doctor Craig laps. "What about you, I hear you say that... An FBI woman? She looks like Emma isn't she".
Doctor Craig nods, chuckling, "Well I'm gonna chase her again. I will not stop until I get her".
"Even the bullet straight to your head?"
"Urmm, I think about that". Both men laugh, "I mean. She got a dangerous job and she might need a space between us first I guess. The Stubbornest woman I have ever known as far as I can tell. She's different from Amy Brickfield. Lucky I am".
Gibson nodded his head, "I don't remember her being a sixteen with Belle probably I do, probably I don't. We are getting old so fast. F*CK it!"
"I remember her. But I wasn't in love with her until now".
Gibson leaned and smiled, the waitress walked past the table. "Excuse me? Can I get an extra onion ring with tartar sauce and Turkey wrap".
"Sure".
Doctor Craig watches the waitress trying to flirt with them. He snorted.
"Women are always complicated". Said Doctor Craig to Gibson.
"And man always easy-peasy?" Gibson eyes on Doctor Craig, chuckle. "Men like us always like to put blame on women in certain circumstances. Woman isn't complicated but a creature which will have overthinking thoughts and be annoying. Cause of nature God made.
"Truly is, 'man' like us is the original complicated one on this planet. Neither can you read me, nor can I am couldn't read you thought".
Doctor Craig frowned, Gibson spoke back. "You are the Doctor should you know that".
"I am. I'm a specialist surgeon, not specifically psychology. Since when you learn about science".
"Where I came from. Ex-prisoner". Doctor Craig, snorted. "Back to our topic, Belle will receive a divorce paper from my attorney".
"Where will you go after the divorce?" Ask Doctor Craig.
Gibson smiles, "Somewhere. I like to go there very much. I will not tell you where but I will keep in touch with you if I miss you.
"New life. New hope. I'm gonna start back from the beginning. I'm already wasting my entire life behind the jail. I'm gonna take this chance".
The waitress came to the table with Gibson's order then laid the plate on the table where she received a tips from him.
She walked with thank you. "Thank you for being such a good brother to my wife while I wasn't her husband. I couldn't repay you for everything you have done for my family".
"You will. But not now. That's what families always do. This is your decision and I cannot stop you, brother".
Gibson nodded a smile, Doctor Craig spoke. "One more thing I would like to ask you, don't disappear for so long. Difficult me to find you".
"You won't. Because you always know where to find me". The brothers share their moment together. After this they won't be the same again.
The proceedings went well. Belle received divorce papers and now here they are inside the attorney office. Gibson with his attorney and Belle with her attorney.
Miss Honey, representing Gibson's attorney, pushes the file to Mr. Jakoby, representing Belle's attorney, reaches the file and reads it. All the truth statements, vow, legal and everything is about to end.
"My client, Mr. Victor Gibson, had been married to Andriana Belle Decker till this day. His guilt and punishment had been served with a witness. So we are here not because of that, the proceeding is about how my client, Mr. Victor Gibson, is no longer needed by his own wife. To give her freedom and return my client already filed a divorce paper with a non custody battle over their kids.
"Mrs. Gibson will have full custody over their kids. My client is not''.
Mr. Jakoby turned to Belle, whom she studied her laps with. He patted her arm, gently looking up at Gibson's eyes. Then she whispered to her attorney.
Mr. Jakoby spoke. "Granted. Mr. Gibson, why now? I mean why just now you file a divorce over, Miss Andriana Belle Dekcer why not before".
Gibson chuckled. "Will she believe her dead husband could write a divorce paper? Or asking for an attorney from inside of my graves".
"What do you mean?" Ask Mr. Jakoby. "You mean you fake your own death so that you can serve your life behind the prison and leave her nothing".
"Denied!" Miss Honey spoke. "My client did not leave her nothing. As my client in his prison life, he did community service and got a return from it. He never once forgot his responsibilities as a father. Ask your client, Jakoby what she gets and what her kids get as they live without my client's presence around them".
Mr. Jakoby turns to Belle once again, Belle nod yes. He fights for his rights.
"I see. What about her right then? That she had been lie from your client all these years?"
"My client indeed gave your client full protection by killing spree. That is why my client indeed had to be punished for what he had done. She was pregnant that time which my client doesn't know she is. Isn't it true, Andriana Belle Decker?"
Belle looks up at Miss Honey then nods her head without hesitation. "So I ask you, Mrs. Gibson, are you ready to move on with your life without my client?"
"Miss Honey..?"
"Mr. Jakoby please". Belle reached his arm. He looked at her. "Just proceed with it. I cannot take it anymore".
He nodded, "Very well". His eyes to Gibson. "Starting today my client is no longer anything to do with you anymore, Mr. Gibson you are a free man now, so did my client".
"Thank you". Gibson pushed the chair then went out without looking at Belle for the last time. He already made his final decision.
The divorce finally made. The couple went separate ways.
"How can you do this, mom!" Cried Mia after she knew that her family was breaking apart. "He promised not to leave me!"
Belle sighs, said. "I've been told you before not to trust him completely even though he was your dad. I've been through this before and he broke our promise, same I told him not to leave me which he did.
"Mia? I've known him before you were born. If he said 'he will not leave you' which means he is. He will leave you no matter how hard you beg him to stay. I was there".
Arman laid flat on the carpet while watching TV, he did not bother about his parents' divorce. Finally Victor Gibson no longer exists in his family.
A family they used to live in. "Arman, please keep the volume down. You are not helping!"
"Our family doesn't need him. I told her and she didn't listen as she was so proud of having a dad. While I'm not. For me he never existed".
Mia suddenly jumped on top of him, Belle shriek went Mia start to choke him to death. Belle pulled her up but didn't budge.
"Mia don't! Let go of your brother".
"This is all his fault, he made dad divorce and leave us! It was Arman's fault. He cursed dad, he mocked dad. I hear what Arman said to him. This is all his FAULT!"
Belle finally lifts her up from Arman, he coughs and breathes air. "I hate you! I hate you two!"
"Mia!" She ran, slammed and locked the door from the inside. Belle helps her son. "What did you say to your dad?"
"He's not my dad, mom!"
"I didn't teach you how to be rude, especially toward your dad. Yes, he's a murderer but still his blood runs inside you and you cannot run from it. I bare a child, his child that makes you, me and Mia are murderers too. Do you understand?"
Arman didn't say anything. He knows his mistake. Belle spoke again. "You shouldn't say anything to him".
"You still love him don't you?"
Belle couldn't give that damn answer. Whether she still loves him or not. This is hard to say.
"I don't have that answer, Arman, his decision it's finally been made. I have not carried your father's last name ever again. He had nothing to do with us anymore as for your sister, Mia. She needs to learn that".
Arman nodded, "Go to your room. It's late already". He gets up from the carpet then walks to the hall.
Belle reaches the remote control then she hears Arman screaming at the hall knowing her daughter is trying to kill him again because of his fault their dad wanted a divorce from their mom and never been seen again.
"Mia, stop killing your brother!"
