Belle is living her new life as a private foreign language tutor. Belle started everything from scratch, and even though her income wasn't great. Belle had to keep going with what she still could do.

The new residence of the Belle family is used as a place for private tutoring at the same time. In addition, Belle also opened a language translator service orally and in writing. Belle's struggle is not easy, Belle has to do a massive promotion in order to get more customers.

Belle is working on a translation she has received from her college student customers. Luckily the location of the business he has is located not far from the campus area and also the school. So, that the customers are more young people.

During breaks, Belle watches television and looks at news content from abroad as an additional insight. Intelligent women like Belle are never satisfied to learn, that's the advantage she has.

In the news broadcasts of the murder of a married couple suspected of being involved in a crime syndicate. Belle was still enjoying the instant ramen she bought from a nearby convenience store.

While fetching water Belle broke a glass of drink when she heard the names of her parents being mentioned in the news.

Belle ran to the television, and was right. Both her parents died in the murder incident. Both of her parents were members of illegal drug dealers and when they were almost caught they were forced to confess. As a result, the owner of the illicit business (narcotics) ordered men to kill Belle's parents.

“No! no way…” Belle screamed hysterically and sat limply.

Not only overseas, the news also spread outside New York. Of course her old colleagues and even people who had known Belle saw the contents of the news. News of the murder spread widely in the mass media, even the print media.

Belle also received a call from abroad, that her parents would soon be sent home to New York.

Belle seemed to have lost hope in her life, her parents turned out to be working as members of illegal drug dealers (narcotics) while abroad. This was done to pay off all their debts in their home country, and indeed the income they got was fantastic.

“JORDAN HERON'S MANSION”

“Sir, we have checked the data of all the members involved in the murder.” Said one of Jordan's subordinates.

“Have the bodies of both parents been returned to the country?”

“Well, sir. The bodies of both Miss Belle's parents are at the funeral home. Miss Belle repeatedly fainted when the bodies of her parents arrived.”

Jordan squeezed the beer can in his hand.

“Damn! Why have they gone this far, isn't there a better way!” muttered Jordan, who seemed to know who the killer was.

Because some of the perpetrators involved managed to escape, but was eventually caught by messengers from Jordan.

Jordan looked down at his cell phone screen, and a few pictures of Belle grieving were there. Jordan's heart trembled slightly seeing the grief that Belle was currently experiencing. He knew that Belle had only faced her alone, and that many had even avoided Belle. Just because of the case that happened to her parents.

***

“City Center Public Cemetery”

Not many people came to mourn, some even still criticized the bodies of Belle's parents.

Belle continued to cry non-stop in front of her parents' graves. Belle was completely alone, and there was nothing to comfort or even strengthen her.

An even more painful truth Belle had yet to tell.

Actually, both of her parents have known what happened between Belle and Jordan. When they received the news, they were immediately caught by cruel people who would kill them.

Jordan deliberately told the truth through a voice recording of a phone call with Belle's parents. As a result, Belle's father burned with anger and a fight broke out with the members who had just arrived at their residence. Finally a sadistic murder occurred there.

However, Jordan only said he had fired Belle and not about the illicit transaction.

“Mother… father… why do you have to do this… why…” Belle cried again, when everyone had dispersed.

From across the cemetery of her parents, several men dressed in black, with sunglasses were also observing them. One of the men was Jordan, Jordan came to mourn the death of Belle's father and mother.

“Bella!” A man arrives at the burial site, the man is Andrew.

“Andrew, aren't you out of the country?”

“I came back when I heard about the death of uncle and aunt. I'm sorry for this incident, Belle ..” Andrew said concerned.

“Thank you Andrew.” Said Bell who still felt at home at the funeral of her late father and mother.

“From today onwards stay strong.” Andrew said comforting.

“I'm sorry Andrew, I'm just the child of an illicit drug dealer ..” Belle sobbed.

“No matter what your family's problems are, to me you are still the Izabelle I used to know.”

Andrew put his arm around Belle's shoulders giving Belle some peace of mind. At least someone still cares about Belle when Belle's lowest point is currently.

***

Almost every day, Belle continues to come on a pilgrimage to the graves of her late father and mother to light candles and water them with fresh rosewater.

Belle's grief was very deep, not to mention the shame she had to endure as social sanctions.

“CARPIO GROUP COMPANY”

Companies engaged in the field of well-known brands. From fashion brands to shoes to bags and much more. However, the wealth of the Carpio Group is still number two after the wealth of the Heron Group.

As a very young leader, Andrew is not as bright as Jordan Heron.

Drrtt… one message in…

Andrew still ignores incoming messages, because they are used to being an important person. However, Andrew's feelings were slightly disturbed by the vibration of his cellphone. Because only certain people know this personal cell phone number.

When he opened the contents of the message, Andrew was very surprised.

“Hey bastard! Never go near Izabelle Vedrow, or I'll reveal your secret!” the contents of the message written there.

“Confidential? What am I keeping secret..” Andrew muttered, and for a moment he was petrified.

He remembered that his family was also involved in a crime syndicate abroad. The case of the death of Belle's parents also has something to do with them.

Andrew suddenly sweated, even though his room was quite cold.

“Why do you have to involve Belle again ..” Andrew muttered.

Andrew returns to his parents' home in their magnificent mansion.

***

“Carpio Family Residence Mansion”

“Father! What have you done to Vedroe's uncle's family! Father!” Andrew kept shouting along his stride.

Meanwhile his father was seen sitting enjoying black coffee at dusk today..

“Father..”

“Is it just because of that damn family, you dare to scream in front of your father?” said Mr. Carpio, father of Andrew.

“Father.. I need an explanation from you.. is your father also involved in the murder case?” Andrew kept urging his father to be honest.

“If I said “Yes” what would you like to do?” snapped Mr. Carpio.

Andrew backed away slowly, he really did not expect the crime that his father had done to the Belle family, his precious friend.
