Who's the real you?

Chapter Thirty

Belle had raised her two babies with minimal help from Alytain, he had seen the photos she had sent him, he had heard their voices over the phone, but the love of touring had caused obvious friction in their relationship.

Belle hated when Alytain was home yet she also hated when he was apart from his family.

Alytain made a promise that once they settled in Australia, He and Belle would work on repairing their love.

They had been settled in Australia for almost two years and still no sign of Alytain wanting to join them even though every phone call he had promised he'd be down soon.

Instead his family travelled to him when the kids wanted to see him, Belle hated that she would have to alert his assistance to make sure Alytain was alone because she didn't want the kids to see their father with another woman or any thing that didn't look like it would give him the father of the year award.

Belle had gotten used to being alone at nights, she had gotten used to be photographed without her husband and the father to her two kids. She had gotten used to hearing the rumours about her husband, she had heard them all since the day she was with him and it still stung because she knew this time they were all true but there was nothing she could do about it, especially when she wasn't by his side.

In the public eye, Belle lied. She lied about Alytain's affairs, she lied about Alytain's drug abuse, she lied about the man her husband was turning into. He was turning into his old self and Belle lied, lied that everything was a lie.

In the privacy of her own home, Belle struggled to keep her kids away from the truth. She struggled to let her kids watch the media reports that played about their dad, she didn't allow them to even touch a computer even though Harley had begged for one to help improve his photos.

Of course, Alytain shut Harley up with a laptop. Which Harley was thankful for.
