The kids had greatly enjoyed the parade in the city centre—it had allowed them to revisit their memories of the place. And for once, we went completely unnoticed in the crowd by the paparazzi. At home later that afternoon, we prepared an enormous turkey for dinner that evening. Marcella was creating hand-drawn decorations for the table, Cali was preparing the vegetables, and Castor was eyeing the large pumpkin pie we had bought on the way home. I covered the turkey with a sticky sauce with a large pastry brush, while James tied its legs together with string. I laughed throughout the entire process, it seemed obscene.

‘I can’t believe we’re going to eat this entire turkey, it’s huge!’ I laughed. James grinned.

‘Oh we will, don’t you worry!’ He eyed the pile of vegetables Cali was peeling.

‘Do some more carrots, hun’ he suggested gently. She had deliberately made a small pile. James lifted the heavy tray bearing the turkey into the oven and it started its slow three hour marathon. Anthony sat in his high chair overseeing our creation. He waved his arms happily along to the music: Castor had connected his ipod to the speakers and we listened to Drake for as long as James could possibly tolerate it.

‘Dada!’ Anthony grinned, James had lifted him into his arms. Cali’s face raised slowly in amazement from her task. The sight of her father holding another child and Anthony’s small innocent voice had brought her to tears.

‘Dadaaaa!’ he repeated again painfully. This time, both Castor and Marcella noticed his words with horrible blank faces. I registered them sadly, it must be so very difficult for them to hear. My sad eyes begged James to see the impact on his children, but he seemed not to read my expression. Instead, I offered to take Anthony from his arms.

‘James, that was a big shock to them!’ I whispered as I took my son from his arms. ‘Talk to them!’ I urged him, and I took Anthony upstairs for his afternoon nap to give them some time alone.

When I returned downstairs 15 minutes later I heard her speaking to James in a hushed voice. He had taken his upset daughter aside. I paused on the stairs hearing their voices in the lounge. She was clearly upset, I heard the same sobs I’d overheard the night before.

‘But we saw you kissing mom at the beach!’ she insisted. I had too, I had seen the photos in the paper.

‘And you were in her bedroom, I saw you leaving that night!’ Cali protested. James was surprised at her for bringing it up. My mind whirled: James had been in his ex-wife’s bed?

‘Cali, it doesn’t mean your Mom and I will get back together’ James insisted sadly.

‘You should! She misses you so much!’ Cali insisted. I sat on the stairs trying to make sense of what I was hearing. Their talk had stopped, it seemed he was consoling his sad daughter. When James stood to return to the kitchen, he saw me sitting silently on the stairs.

‘Han?’ he asked carefully. He joined me.

‘How much of that did you hear?’ he asked bravely. He was prepared to explain. I cut to the chase.

‘You were in Francesca’s bedroom?’ I asked in disbelief. It could well mean any number of things, but my mind had already chosen the worst.

‘Yes, she initiated sex and I left. We fought, and I told her I loved you. I slept in the guest room that night. I nearly left for the hotel, but I didn’t want to upset the kids’ he explained. He certainly felt guilty, his eyes couldn’t look at me.

‘Okay’ I chose to believe him on the matter a second time. I kissed his cheek accepting his response. His eyes were surprised at my kind belief in him.

‘I’m sorry—it must be hard for you imaging me with them when I visit Francesca and the kids in Argentina’ he apologised.

‘I trust you completely, James’ I said, covering my concerns. I was still mad at him for suggesting we didn’t trust each other in a previous conversation.

‘I am very thankful for your trust, Hannah’ he said honestly. He stroked my hair and offered me a warm kiss in thanks.

After dinner that night, James was adamant he wanted to tell his children that we were engaged. I wasn’t sure yet that it was the right time, but as he pointed out, there wasn’t a right time to be had. I had nervously agreed, knowing he was hiding my ring in his jacket pocket. We went around the table stating the things we were each thankful for. Marcella started.

‘I am thankful for being back in California and seeing my Dad happy!’ she smiled.

‘Thank you sweetheart’ James leant to his left and offered her a warm kiss to the cheek.

Castor spoke next: ‘I am thankful to be here again too’ he began. ‘And I’m thankful that I can see my friends, and to see you Dad, I’ve missed you heaps’ he admitted. James’ bottom lip trembled at Castor’s admission.

Cali spoke next: ‘I am thankful for family and friends’ she said, ‘and I am thankful that soon I will have lots of opportunities and I can come back here for college’ she smiled. James smiled too, I wondered if that meant her Argentine boyfriend would be left behind.

Next it was my turn. ‘I am thankful that I have met you all, and that you have all shared your lives here with me’ I took James’ hand under the table. ‘And I am thankful that your father is so very kind and loving to me and Anthony’ I smiled. James’ eyes watered and he leaned in for an emotional kiss at the table. It was his turn and he still held my hand nervously as he spoke.

‘I am very thankful for you, Hannah—for changing my life’ he confessed, his lip trembled. He reached inside his jacket pocket and revealed the diamond ring I had been wearing for the past two months. ‘I am thankful that you will be my wife!’ he announced, kissing me warmly for a second time. He took the ring and slid it onto the fourth finger of my left hand.

‘You’re going to marry her, Dad?!’ Cali cried. She had stood from the table in tears once more. I looked at her hurt face that was strung with horror, I knew it would be too soon.

‘Dad!’ Marcella cried in disbelief. She could not hide her true feelings anymore. Castor’s face was disbelieving too. He stared back and forth between us both.

‘I’m happy, I love her’ James explained. ‘I’m very happy!’ Cali sat slowly and wiped her tears. It couldn’t be clearer that by his three upset children that something was horribly wrong.

‘James...’ I began quietly, but he spoke again to his eldest daughter.

‘Cali, tell me what’s wrong?’ he asked openly.

‘You can’t be serious!’ she cried. ‘Her? Dad, really!’

‘Cali! Please don’t be rude to Hannah’ James stated. He was kind but stern.

‘I understand that this is hard for you all, but this is what I have chosen’ James explained, but it seemed like a horrible compromise to his children.

‘What does Mom think?’ Cali asked. I turned to James, interested to know too. When James had told his ex-wife he was engaged to Hannah, she had said absolutely nothing. She had instead used sex as a bargaining chip.

‘I suppose it’s hard for her too’ James admitted. He couldn’t imagine she would actually be okay with it.

‘I’m not talking about getting married tomorrow’ he explained to his children. ‘In fact, we haven’t discussed a date yet’ James said, clearing the air. Marcella and Castor nodded, happier at the news. Cali still started angrily at her empty plate, her arms were folded in confrontation.

‘We just wanted to tell you, that’s all’ James finished. He could see that I was right, it had been too soon. I stood from the table to collect the plates, and James held onto my hand still. He helped me with my task, following me to the kitchen in apology.

‘Shit!’ he apologised to me softly.

‘It’s alright—you had to tell them sometime’ I said. I dried my hands on the tea towel regretfully.

‘It’s not you—you know that right?’ he begged me to see. ‘It’s just that you’re not their Mom’ he explained. I knew, but it still made me sad. James hugged me tightly, we were both shell-shocked. I wiped his disappointed tears from his cheeks.

‘Are we ready for pumpkin pie now?’ I joked, changing the subject. It was as though any family holiday would not have been complete without an argument.

‘I think so!’ James said with a hearty smile, he exhaled with a long blow.

Tsc tsc... James is digging his own grave :ugh:
The kids were not ready yet! Cali was just crying moments before because of the whole Dada thing. Than this bomb! Of course they'd be shocked, he could've just waited a bit longer. :blink:

And he isn't being completely honest with Hannah. He didn't refuse to have sex with Fran at all, she did after realising the meaning of the tattoo. Hannah choosed to believe him by blinding her eyes... that's not cool :o

More soon? :heart:

He is digging his own grave somehwhat, yes! :lol:

He totally misjudged things and when they might be ready to deal with news like that. He's forgetting how they're affected by all this. At least Hannah has a sense of their perspectives so she can guide James a bit. I can only imagine how much it would hurt to hear another child call your father his Dada. Poor kids. :(

And of course James lied to Hannah. He has not told her at all what really happened, that he hopped happily into bed with Francesca. :o

More of James digging his own grave up soon! :lol:

I had put Anthony to bed while James sat outside on our balcony alone, taking in the cold evening air. Our bedroom doors opened up to a patio that overlooked the back garden. I joined him on the cold balcony, but he didn’t seem bothered by the bitterly cold air.

‘I’m just going to shower, will you come to bed soon?’ I asked. He nodded, I saw he held his phone in his hand.

‘Alright, I won’t be long’ I added gently. He was still deeply sad, and couldn’t find the words to speak. As soon as James heard the bathroom door click shut, he called her. The phone rang only twice before she picked up.

‘Hello?’ she asked. Her voice was wet, she sounded distinctly to James like she had been crying.

‘Francesca’ he breathed, he was glad to hear her voice.

‘I just rang to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving’ he admitted. The cicadas outside chirped loudly down the phone. Francesca knew immediately where he was calling from. She could even see in her mind the seat he was sitting on, on their bedroom balcony.

‘That’s very kind of you James’ she said quietly. Her voice sounded incredibly depressed.

‘Are you alone?’ he asked. The question was painful and her answer a little obvious.

‘You have the children, so yes I’m alone’ she replied. She sniffed away her tears.

‘They miss you!’ he exclaimed, he tried hard to stop himself from tearing up at the sound of her sad voice.

‘They’ll see me in three days, James they miss you!’ she emphasised.

‘Cali says you still miss me…do you?’ he asked feebly. She sobbed harder.

‘Of course I do James!’ she explained. Now he heard her open tears down the line.He didn’t dare tell her their failed attempt at telling the kids their engagement news this evening.

‘We can’t do this at Christmas’ James explained. ‘I don’t want you there alone’ he explained.

‘I’ll be in Denver, at my Mom’s’ she explained. That satisfied James.

‘Alright’ he said. He loved and missed his wife more than he could ever admit.

‘I…’ he gulped on his own words. ‘I miss you too!’ he acknowledged.

‘I miss all of us, just, being a family’ Francesca admitted.

‘I know exactly what you mean’ he agreed. They were silent on the phone together for a moment.

‘Okay, well I’m going to bed now’ James offered. He knew it was much earlier in the day for her there. ‘I just wanted to call and see if you were alright’ he admitted.

‘No James, I’m not alright’ she admitted. ‘I still love you far more than I should’ she confessed. The line was silent for a minute before it cut out painfully. James held the phone in the dark. He knew she still had feelings for him, but in his foolishness, he didn’t think that he still knew how to access them. But apparently, he did.

I stepped out onto the balcony in the cold to join him.

‘James! It’s freezing out here, come to bed!’ I encouraged him. He stood to join me, my hair was still wet from my shower. He knew it was an invitation to watch me undress and dry my hair nude for him—it was his favourite thing to do before bed. I dried my hair while he watched my nude body reflected into the mirror in front of him. He stood behind me, his hands massaged my breasts and kissed warmly at my neck.

‘I’m sorry, but I’m not feeling horny tonight’ he apologised, breaking from my body. His disinterest surprised me.

‘I’m just going to bed’ he said, taking a sad exit.

I feel bad for Fran, but not TOO bad. She realised now how much she loves James just because he's building another family. My opinion :o
Things are getting uglier... He refused sex! :lol: But yeah, it's hard to fuck a woman while thinking on another :ugh: Talking like this, he looks a fucking bastard!

I went for my morning run to the shops down the road. The local neighbourhood was relatively quiet this morning, the day after thanksgiving. I scanned the headlines of the tabloid papers as I jogged by the shop. It was my guilty pleasure: I knew James hated the tabloids in the house, he had made that much clear. While being published was not new to him, it was still a frightening thought to me. I came by a few mornings a week to check the papers, to see if James and I had made any of its headlines. More often than not, we had. Today, I stopped in for a breakfast snack and a quick flick of the morning papers. But I needn’t look far. The bold headlines made the blood pumping in my chest turn cold.

HETFIELD’S HANNAH: HIGH CLASS WHORE

I folded the paper in half and offered a ten dollar bill to the cashier. My heart was racing, I had to get home, I had to read this. Everything I had worked for, for years was all gone—everything, my anonymity prior to meeting James, my client’s confidentially had been breached, my family would find out, my friends would know, and my relationship! I dreaded to think of the impact on James’ reputation. I ran home faster than I had run there. I ran straight upstairs to the study and locked myself in. I had to read this first, alone.

James Hetfield’s girlfriend, Hannah Baxter, 31, is today exposed as a high class call girl—formerly a working girl of London’s EliteXXXEscorts—by the name of ‘Belle’ charged up to $4,000US dollars per hour for sex with elite clients, often providing long-term company to the rich and famous. Baxter, now living with Hetfield, has had over 1200 clients internationally and is a self-made millionaire. Her personal website (photo seen here) offers an insight into the services she provides. Hetfield is thought to have hired Baxter as early as 2006 for discreet companionship. See stories of her encounters with previous clients below:

Richard, 46, London: ‘Belle was the best sex I have ever had—she did everything to make sure my needs were met before her own. She let me come in her mouth the first time we met, nothing beats that’.

Paul, 61, Leeds: ‘Belle travelled to my home in Northern England to visit me, and her two day trip was well worth the $20,000 pounds I paid. She did what the other call girls never do—she connects with you and provides the perfect girlfriend experience. She came with me to a work function, and had all my friends fooled. She’s the hottest blonde on earth’.

Justin, 19, London: ‘Belle is a complete professional—the best fuck I’ve had in a long time. She even let me take home the cock ring afterwards’.

Mike, 55, Hammersmith: ‘She came perfectly dressed as I requested, and every time after she always had perfect, new lingerie. It’s like she knew my type and what I wanted’.


I couldn’t read anymore of the so called ‘testimonials’. I remembered each of these clients. I wasn’t as cold and as heartless as they made me out to be, I had remembered each of their stories, their reasons for visiting a call girl. I had kept them private. David had certainly done well to find my former clients—I had no idea how he had done it. Inside, on pages 2 and 3, were photographs from my website. Some were blurred, old photos taken of me from when I was 24. Back then, I was willing to do anything for money: I was a poor, hungry university student. I heard James come up the stairs searching for me.

‘Hannah?’ he asked. I stood and opened the door to the study. I was still in my running gear, he looked at my sad face in surprise.

‘What’s wrong?’

‘The story’s out’ I said plainly, holding the paper in my hands, and the blood drained from his horrified face as it had done from mine.

HOLY SHIT! :o :ugh: :o

Now what?! OMG. The testimonials, James will feel like just another client. Her parents and everyone she knows will find out too, James' kids (and worst : they're still over there)... Metallica and James image will be much damaged! :o :o Some information may be fake, but :o

YOU KILL ME YOU KNOW?! :lol:

James will be crushed when he reads this and sees that she has done the same thing with so many other men. 1200 men. That will really shock him. :o

The band will go into media storm protection mode very soon. It's going to be pretty devastating for everyone. You'll see! :wink :o

Yes, 2006 was wrong. David's guess was way off. It's especially bad because it's nearly 3 years prior to when he first met her!
