    Summary:
    Chapter 3

    The next morning, Bette woke to the sound of raised voices downstairs. She glanced at the clock – 8:30 AM. Through the guest room window, she could see Carson in the backyard, playing with his dinosaurs on the swing set, blissfully unaware of whatever drama was unfolding inside.

    She pulled on her robe and made her way downstairs, following the voices to the front door where Edwin stood blocking the entrance, his usually gentle demeanor replaced by stern determination.

    “I told you yesterday, Darren. You’re not welcome here,” Edwin’s voice carried an edge Bette had never heard before.

    “I just need to talk to her, Edwin. Please. Five minutes.”

    Bette froze on the stairs. She hadn’t heard that voice in ten years, but she recognized it immediately. Darren Ratliff. Still smooth, still persuasive, still convinced he could charm his way out of anything.

    “She doesn’t want to see you,” Lauren appeared beside her husband, her arms crossed. “Haven’t you done enough damage?”

    “I love her,” Darren said, his voice breaking slightly. “I know I fucked up, but I love her. I need to explain.”

    “Explain what? That you’ve been lying to her for years? That you have another wife? That you’ve made a mockery of everything she believed in?” Edwin’s voice rose. “Get off my property before I call the police.”

    “Dad, what’s going on?” Tina appeared from the kitchen, her hair still damp from the shower. She stopped short when she saw Darren through the screen door. “What are you doing here?”

    “Tina, thank God. I need to talk to you. I can explain everything.”

    Bette watched from the stairs as Tina’s face went through a series of emotions – surprise, hurt, and finally, something that looked like exhaustion.

    “There’s nothing to explain, Darren. I know about Emily. I know about your real marriage. I know about everything.”

    “But you don’t understand the whole story,” Darren pressed. “It wasn’t what you think. Emily and I – it started as a business arrangement. Her father was investing in my company, and he wanted assurance that I was committed to staying in California. The marriage was just paperwork, Tina. Just a contract.”

    “Just paperwork?” Tina’s voice was dangerously quiet. “You married someone else while you were with me. You made vows to someone else.”

    1. I love Carson and i hate Darren.

      Bette is afraid, hurt and fearful, i hope she will lower the walls around her heart sometime in the future. Tina has to prove she is serieus in both heart and words but the most important thing for now is to get things resolved and i think Helena will be the best to help her.
