Two days into their stay in France, Angelina was enjoying a glass of wine in Brad's house's living room when she received the most unexpected call.
"Hello, whore!", the voice said happily.
"Who is that?"
"Brad's wife.", Jade said and giggled.
Angelina rolled her eyes and tried to end the conversation as quick as possible. "What do you want? And speak fast."
"What I want?", she laughed and changed her voice to serious. "Leave Brad, bitch."
"You sound absolutely drunk, Jade."
"I am. But at least my conscience is clear. Leave him. I want h back. You can't have him now either. You know I didn't let you have him years ago, I won't now as well."
Gigi walked into the living room. "Shut up! He's with me because he loves me, not because I obligate him to."
"Who's that, Angie?", Gigi asked Angelina.
"Jade.", Angelina whispered when she put her palm over the speaker.
Angelina just hung up and threw the wine glass through open french door. Gigi sat next to her and Brad and Hander both came in when they heard breaking noise.
"What happened?", Handrer asked.
"Your dear wife called me. How does she even have my number?", Angelina yelled at Brad.
"I don't know.", he defended himself.
"I had to lie that you love me and that it's you who doesn't want to leave me."
Brad was silent then he surprised all of them. "You didn't lie."

The next morning they were lying in Angelina's bed when Hander knocked on the door.
"Come in!", Brad said after he made sure Angelina's body was wrapped in bed sheet.
Hander slowly entered. "Sorry. We have to go, Angie. Bailey is waiting for you."
The previous day Brad and Angelina visited Bailey in the hospital. She confirmed Hugo shot her but they promised not to reveal it to anyone. Hander and Gigi had to know and actually knew before Angelina made Bailey admit it. She promised to wait for her when she leaves the hospital.
When Hander drove Angelina Bailey was already out accompanied by her mother Angie met once before. Hander opened the door for three women and they entered and immediately started talking, Bailey almost crying.
"I am not going back.", Bailey stated she won't go to her and Hugo's house.
"You have to. You know he will find you and, I'm really sorry, but you can't be in my house if he's after you.", Angelina told her.
"You're right. I can't try to deny it. You can tell your driver to turn back."
