Arriane went to her adoptive father's house to confront him about what he said on the phone, she wants to know the truth, she wants to know who her mother is...
by the look of things, it seems that the guy in the picture is her father, but how on earth Martin became her adoptive father? what the hell happened to their family???
ARRIANE: dad..... dad, Arriane keep calling her father's name as she banged her fist on the door
Martin opened the door, looking like he just came from sleep.
MARTIN: sweetie you're back? he said half awake
ARRIANE: what the hell dad? why aren't you answering your phone, she yelled angrily...
MARTIN: ooooh come on in sweetie, I know you are tired... he said inviting Arriane in, as he opens the door wide.
MARTIN: you want some drinks? he offered tea? coffee?
ARRIANE: I don't want some drinks! I want an explanation dad!!! how the hell did it happen that I suddenly have a twin sister? I don't need to ask who my father is...
I know that.... that guy in the picture is my Father, but where is he? where is my mom?
how in the hell did we get separated???
MARTIN: Sweetie it's a long story...
then Martin told Arriane how he become her adoptive father.
David Hutchinson is his best buddy in the gang, son of the gangster leader.....
he used to court a girl, whom he learned that the girl is Arriane's mother, but that girl fell in love with a rich man, the man in the picture her best friend's, family friend and first love.
then her mother got pregnant, her father didn't know, that her mother is pregnant before he joined the army, then her best friend told her mother that the guy died in the war.....
then she schemed to get her killed...
to make the story short David saved her mother from the killer, but her mother is traumatized by what had happened ...
so he decided to adopt her and leave her twin sister in the care of her mother...
he even paid someone ( Mrs. Robbins) to take care of her twin sister and her mother because her mother is incapable at the time.
He became his adopted daughter because David Hutchinson needs to take his father's place as the gangster leader, and in order to protect her...
he entrusted his best buddy to take care of her.....
that's the reason why David help him train her because he wants her to be the next leader of their organization...
ARRIANE: so David is Mr. Hutchinson? what about you? you're my adoptive father... I didn't even know who you are???
MARTIN: ah that... I'm still you're adoptive father... Martin Hutchinson Downer... me and David are cousins.....
