You would think Angelina and Brad would stay together, be a couple and go to France as a real couple. But, it didn't happen. They were nowhere to be seen together for a week. Brad was the reason.
When their weapon training ended, Brad returned home to Jade. She still refused to give him a divorce, but he seemed to be advancing. Angelina never told her what Brad said wasn't true, so Jade still believed they wanted to be together and still blamed Angelina for the drama they caused in the press.
Angelina and Brad were everywhere. Each magazine wrote a different rumor about them. Some claimed they were friends, because she had a kid and they had never been seen together before. Others thought Brad was cheating on Jade and that they were getting a divorce. The second one was true, but it was pure coincidence the press knew about it.
"What do you want?", Brad offered her to choose a house from their big collection or the money.
"Do you think I married you for money?", Jade yelled.
"Umh, yeah."
"Well, you're wrong. I accepted to marry you because I loved you. You do at least remember that you proposed to me, I didn't beg."
Brad felt confused. He did propose to Jade because he loved her. But it was back in time he wasn't famous and he didn't have all those beautiful women around him all the time. He's a man and men need a little time on their own once in a while. Women don't like to let go. Jade was really passionate about their marriage, Brad wasn't, but the love was mutual.
"I am not saying I don't love you, Jade.", Brad put his hands on her teary cheeks. "I am in love with another woman. That doesn't mean I don't love you but it means we need to let go. She also wants me to leave you."
Brad lied again. Angelina has never asked him such thing. He knew he was in trouble again if she finds out he lied to Jade about it again.
Jade seemed to be giving up. And she did. She took the papers and signed each one while wiping tears from her makeup smudged face. Then she left the room and three days later the house as well.
After finally getting in touch with Angelina, and that was through Hander again, Brad invited her, Maddox, Hander and Gigi to his house as it was the last day of their stay in Los Angeles. Tomorrow they were going to France.
Angelina came in a black dress and without Maddox, stating that he was too young for parties. Gigi and Hander came hand in hand smiling behind Angelina, who was leading the way to Brad's house.
"Why are they so happy?", Brad whispered to Angelina when he opened them the door.
"I don't know. They better have a really good reason, because it's so annoying."
They had a quite fun night, eating all sorts of unhealthy food and fuzzy drinks.
"It looks like a girly Friday night.", Angelina stated looking at all those leftovers.
"We actually want to announce something.", Gigi started.
"You're engaged.", Angelina said and took Gigi's hand up in the air. "Look at that thing. It's like you don't work in FBI, but on the Wall Street."
"It's so big, isn't it?", Gigi stared at her engagement diamond ring.
"Huge. I wouldn't want it so big. And diamonds are so common. I'd like something simpler."
"Good to know.", Brad smiled at Angelina.
"Anyways, I officially congratulate to both of you.", she hugged Gigi first and then Hander. So did Brad.
"Where's your wife?", Angelina looked around and then at Brad.
"She signed the divorce papers and left."
"Just like that?", Hander asked shocked.
"Well, I did tell her Angie wanted me to leave her." He almost immediately looked at Angelina. She gave him an eyebrow-raising look and shrugged.
"She did good.", Angelina said.
