Belle knew deep down that she couldn't stay in this marriage any longer. Her husband, Tom King, had become increasingly abusive and controlling, and she couldn't take it anymore. So when she finally mustered up the courage to escape from their secluded cottage, viewers couldn't help but cheer her on.
But as Belle ran away from her monstrous husband, it was clear that this wasn't the end of her ordeal. When her family, Charity and Cain Dingle, arrived at the trashed cottage and couldn't find her, they feared the worst. And as the story rewound to earlier in the week, viewers' hearts were in their throats as they watched Belle's situation go from bad to worse.
What was supposed to be a relaxing holiday for Belle quickly turned into a nightmare. Tom's true intentions were revealed when Belle overheard him on a call, planning to buy the cottage without her consent and effectively taking her away from her home and family for good. It was clear that Tom was not the loving husband Belle had hoped for, but rather a controlling and manipulative monster.
To make matters worse, Tom had also taken Belle's phone, making her believe that she had left it back in the village. And when Belle dared to stand up to him, his gaslighting and manipulation went into overdrive. He even left her locked in the cottage as he went out to look for a job, leaving her alone and vulnerable.
But Belle's bravery and determination prevailed as she found a way to sneak food to their dog, Piper, who Tom had left tied up outside as a form of "tough love." She also managed to escape through the window when Tom returned, only to be scolded for leaving the dog outside.
But Tom's true colors were revealed when Belle stood up to him about the job. His anger exploded and he lashed out at her, eventually striking her and forcing her to lock herself in the bathroom. As the struggle continued, Belle accidentally cut herself on broken glass, which explained the blood that Charity and Cain found when they arrived at the cottage.
With Tom's cruel words and violent behavior still ringing in her ears, Belle knew she had to get out of there. She bravely seized the opportunity to escape when she saw a bus approaching, begging and panicking as she got on board just in time for the doors to close on Tom, who was desperately trying to stop her.
But even though she was out of his direct clutches, Belle knew that Tom wouldn't give up that easily. With her family by her side, she was finally able to see the truth about her husband and the hold he had over her. But with the story still unfolding and more twists and turns to come, Belle's journey is far from over.
Producer Laura Shaw has warned viewers that the story will continue for some time, with a dramatic climax expected at the end of the year. So while Belle may have escaped from Tom, she still has a long road ahead of her as she tries to overcome the hold he has on her and any twisted plans he may have in store. This is a story that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats until the very end.
