Background:

Michael Batchelor, the elder brother of Bella Goth, was fiercely protective of his younger sister. His deep affection for Bella often led some to view his protective nature as controlling, but Michael saw it as his duty to guide her as the head of the Batchelor family. From a young age, he had a fondness for Mortimer Goth and considered him a perfect match for Bella, supporting their relationship wholeheartedly.

Once Bella married into the Goth family, she used her influence to help Michael with his business ventures. One of his proudest accomplishments was the opening of a successful ranch. Though Michael was unlucky in love during his earlier years, he found companionship later in life when he met Dina Caliente, a much younger woman. He was both smitten and surprised that someone as stunning as Dina would take an interest in an older man like him. In a whirlwind romance, Michael hastily married her, overjoyed by the union.

Sadly, only six months into their marriage, and just before Bella's disappearance, Michael died tragically in a house fire. His entire estate and assets, including life insurance, were inherited by Dina, as he had no children of his own. Michael’s presence will be felt in flashbacks, revealing his  relationship with Bella and the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death.
