Belle makes a video phone call with her parents about her divorcing and Gibson being alive after all this time.
Belle's mother, Marianne, slapped her forehead again and again. Her dad, Roger watches it happen to his wife, shaking his head then returns to the screen call where Belle is.
He sighs, "Why didn't you tell us that he is still alive?"
"It happened so quick, dad I don't know where I should start. He just.. suddenly appear".
Marianne stops slapping her forehead. Her eyes back to the screen.
"How is it possible that he's been alive? Did Craig know about this?"
Belle nod yes, "He knew since the beginning".
"Oh my Gosh!" Marianne leaned on the sofa, "They are lying to us, Roger, should we trust him after this?"
"Mom? He did what he was told. Gibson wants me to live like I used to, he gave me my life back and he returned me to you guys. Which he did and... I don't know what to say, it's difficult to explain how shocked I was even now to find him alive".
Belle walks toward the balcony for air and view. Sigh. "I'm not stupid!"
"Who said you are?"
"Well the man treated me like I was. They lie to me. I look stupid because of that. All these years I thought... I thought his death was real and I still look like an idiot!"
Both them sigh, her dad spoke up. "I don't know what to say my dear, Belle. Our relationship with the Evigan's will turn out pretty well, if she finds out about this.. we could lose her again".
"You only care about the Evigan? Haven't you thought a second our daughter's life is hanging upside down, Roger!"
Belle sighs, "Mom please. This is all my fault. My life sucks. This is God's plan and He made my life like this!"
"We should come to New York, Roger, our daughter needs us". Said Marianne. "You stay there, we're coming to get you!"
Belle shook no, "Mom no. I could handle this by myself. Mia is still angry with me about last night and Arman didn't help at all".
"Of course dear. For how long, Mia longing to have her own dad and when she got what she wished for he... disappeared".
Divorcing isn't a good thing especially if it involves your kids' lives. Belle just knows that Gibson is still alive and he divorce her because something that couldn't be explained.
How selfish he was or selfish she is. She doesn't know who is right or wrong right now everything is completely messed up. Completely unfair.
What should she do now?
"I don't know, should I cry after my divorce?" Her parents shook heads no. "Whatever, I don't care about this shit. I need to persuade my daughter back. They're in school".
"Oh, wonder why the apartment looks empty".
"Mia tried to kill Arman last night. She didn't eat her breakfast and she went to school alone. I don't know, maybe she was taking the subway. Arman called me "she's there and safe".
Clicking my tongue. "I gotta go. I need my 'me time' space for thinking I guess".
"Should do. Call us all right. Anything and don't you try to kill yourself because of that man who ruins your life twice or more". said Marianne. "I love you darling".
They hung up. Belle looks over her shoulder where the main door suddenly opens. Doctor Craig entered the room and found her standing at the balcony, he spoke.
"Belle? I'm going back to California".
Snort, "Yeah right! After what I've been through and your lie".
"It wasn't my fault, he was. Look, he's gone and I don't know where he went after the divorce. I just found out he quit his job at school this morning. I told him he shouldn't give up on you three because this is the family he wants. He did it because you and Jake".
Belle's eyes jerked up to him, she breathed. "Because of that he divorce me!" Doctor Craig shrugs. "Jake? You guys are so f*ck up".
"Don't get mad at us yet, Belle it wasn't Jake. I mean Jake maybe wants you to be his wife.."
Doctor Craig backs away as she marches toward him with the stool chair she carried to hit him. He stopped her.
"I say maybe. Put the chair down, Belle I am not gonna die at the hand of yours. Put the chair down and relax, we need to talk okay".
Belle put the stool chair back at its place, she sat in anger. Doctor Craig smiles as they two are now on the balcony.
"I know you still love him, Belle not because you have his child but you did it without your notice. 'Love cannot be forced' and you two did. I can see that. I beg him to stay before you could, he is still with his decision".
"I'm not ashamed if he was an ex-prisoner, a murderer or whatever. Yes, I love him!" Finally, "I do love my husband and he's giving up on me before I couldn't have a chance to express myself".
"Then why didn't you tell him before the divorce?"
"I was shocked!" She breathed. "I'm shocked when I find out he's still alive and I didn't know he would divorce me with some kind of bullshit excuse. I am supposed to get mad at you two, why the f*ck you guys did this to me".
She gasps for air, "Because he's afraid I'm alone after he went to prison. NO! I will be there for him until he gets out. I don't care. Because of his stupid plans right now everything is chaos!"
Belle began to cry and buried her face in her hand. Doctor Craig rubs back on her. He doesn't know where to find him.
"He's gone now, Belle. I really do not know where to find him".
"It's okay". She said, sobbing. Her head looked up at him. "He's probably right. Maybe I do not need him with us".
She hugged Doctor Craig and buried her face in his neck. "At least you are here with us. When will you come back?"
"I've been away a couple of times. Amy Brickfield is out of my radar. I think we're good now. I hear your friend, Natasha, is moving to Los Angeles for a month". Her eyes to him, he smirked. "I'm gonna chase her there".
Belle pushed him away then walked. "Grow up old man!" She walked to the kitchen. I am.
Mia sat by the swing alone. The rumor spread widely that Gibson quit his job and went nowhere since the divorce happened. Without saying goodbye toward his kids.
She is crying over her dad's wish that she could see him again and this time she will never ever let him go even by a force she will make her dad stay.
Her classmate friend, Millie saw her at the swing alone. She's from the library who hurried her feet downstairs and met Mia on the ground.
She smiles, as she approaches her. She took a swing beside Mia. "Nice ribbon you got there on your head".
"Thanks".
"Why are you crying, Mia?"
"I am not".
"Yes you are". Her finger pointing at her tears drops on her cheeks. "Is it about Mr. James who quit his job this morning that why you cry?"
Mia didn't say anything, if they know the gardener they know is not what they think. She probably will not be here too as they find out who really Victor Gibson was to Arman and Mia and about the past.
She and Arman probably got bullied or mocked from them for being a daughter and son of the murderer.
Mia shook head even though it was true she was crying over him. She already misses her dad.
"Everyone is missing him dearly, Mia, including me. He loves to help everyone, and he will be there for us".
Mia wipes her tears, sobbing so hard. Millie looks confused as she looks at her crying more than before.
She looked around. "Did Arman hurt you?" Mia shakes her head yes. "I'm gonna kill that boy!"
"Don't need it. I am here". Millie turned on her back which Mia didn't. "What have you done to your twin sister's asshole!"
"Language please". His eyes to Mia. "Mrs. Darby wants to see you inside, for the stage you were into".
Millie's eyes wide open, she forgot about that. Quickly she ran inside the building with thank you. Arman took the previous swing Millie was on before.
He sat with sighs. About a moment of silence, he spoke. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I said to him. Is like I cannot accept his presence around us but it wasn't me he wanted a divorce from mom. I didn't know he could do that".
"Your words hurt him, Arman". She looked at him. "If I was him I would kill you!"
"Mom doesn't look happy at all after her divorce from him".
Mia studied his face, "Just one, Arman just one time you call him dad".
"I will not". They stare. "If you hate me I don't care but don't you dare hate mom, never forget she raised us alone without him".
He sighs then up from the swing, "It's cold here. There is a new book I found at the library. Egypt section which I find it interesting for you to read. There is your name on it. I attached it with a sticky note and no one can touch it before you does".
Arman walks back inside the building, about a minute she follows him inside.
"One month, Belle, I give you one month!" Natasha breathed, "I left New York to Los Angeles without my presence around you and everything is so not under control".
She just got back from Los Angeles after a month she had to move and work there.
Now here she is in New York inside Belle's apartment as she finds out the sad news about Belle getting divorce by Gibson without telling her while she's away.
She went into the kitchen for orange juice 'make yourself comfortable' rules.
"Why didn't you tell me?" She drank the orange juice, tapped her finger on the table. "You can just call me".
"Seriously? Like how?" Belle snorts, "I don't know where you are. I don't know if you were chasing the most wanted criminals as you carried your gun and about to shoot them and suddenly your phone rang. Will you answer that?"
Natasha drains the orange juice and she pours another. "Okay, those tricky questions".
"So I don't. Because I know your job is dangerous, that's why I waited for you to come home safely".
Snickering, "That so mother of you. Aww... At least leave me a message or missed call. I'm pretty sure I will call you or text you back".
Belle eyes her, she speaks back. "What the hell just happened between you two I thought he still loves you and wants you like he used to do when you were sixteen".
"I will say everything changes as you blink your eyes. Everything is destroyed".
"Where is he now?"
Belle shook head, "I don't know. Neither Doctor Craig knew where he had been after our divorce".
"You are alone with Arman and Mia. Nice. Very nice!"
"He had to come home, Nat he can stay here forever. He's a doctor and of course his patients, nurses or other doctors miss him dearly. Oh, don't you blame him. I'm fine".
She sank on the sofa beside Belle, her hand taps Belle laps and sighs. "I'm sorry I wasn't there for your divorcing ".
"This is my divorce, why should you be there for me?"
"To cheer you up! I could bring the pom poms with me and jump as I like outside the attorney office. Then I shout D.I.V.O.R.C.I.N.G, DIVORCING! woo hoo".
Belle laughs, Natasha smiles. "There will always be a way to make you laugh, Belle look at you now, you smiling. How's the twins then?"
"Mia is trying to kill Arman when she finds out. He will not accept Gibson as his dad no matter how hard you try to convince him or accept the faith that his father is an ex-prisoner. Far worse... A murderer".
Natasha nodded, Belle spoke again. "I don't care what he was. I could still wait for him until he's out of jail. Like I said, his stupid plans to protect me from Miss Bilson are the worst. If he hadn't thought like that, Arman he.."
"I know. Don't say any word that makes you look like a horrible mother to them. If you think closer than you thought it wasn't you both choice nor your both fault. It happened since Miss Bilson had an obsession with him. I should know that and it happens so quick.
"We barely know about it. If we know.. it won't be happening am I right?"
Belle nods agree, Natasha breathes harder. "This is God's plan, Belle, what can we say? If God gives humans a gift that we can see our future ahead of us, I will know who I'm gonna marry to".
"Ha ha ha. What about Doctor Craig? I think God sent him to you to marry him".
"Eeehhh! Sometimes God made a mistake to pfft.. No. Doctor Craig is not my type man I like. He so weak!"
"Really? He was working out, he got a six pack tummy, especially on his chest. Look how broad his chest was, masculine man like my ex-husband".
Natasha eyed her, "Did you sleep with him? How did you know that".
"Every day since, when he takes his breakfast, working out or walking around the apartment, he walks shirtless. Showing his abs, chest.. pure shave and beautiful".
Natasha snorts, Belle said. "When he walks shirtless here, Mia likes to pinch his boobs". Natasha chock, coughing with laughter. "She said, he should start wearing a bra or borrow from mine if he needs to".
More laughter coming out from Natasha Hudson. Belle laughs too,
"Seriously you are so dumb if you lose him, Nat".
"Nah! I don't care about him. I'm gonna find a perfect match mate to filled my desire which when we have a s*x I can feel the sound of the angel trumpet around my ears".
"What is that supposed to be?" Ask Belle.
Natasha closes her eyes, she can feel it right now. She feels her body tighten then she smiles. She spoke.
"The best orgasm you can barely imagine. Oh, Lord".
As her eyes wide open and begin to sweat a bit. She turned to look at Belle who couldn't describe that.
"Sheesh!"
"Don't sheesh me. You had with Gibson before when you were sixteen".
"That's different".
Snorts, "No. The same you will get from him if your marriage is still on. For how long you longing to have him back, and you are now twenty seven. There will be no difference but amazing".
Belle began to sweat, quickly she jumped off the sofa running toward the kitchen, away from Natasha. She laughed.
"You can hide the awesomeness truth, Belle I know because you were there. I'm still a virgin and I'm proud to keep mine special to someone I love. But that will not be, Doctor Craig".
"Shut up!"
