Prologue – "I’m a bitch" 

„Tina, are you really sure that you want to do this?“

“Of course. Why shouldn’t I?” The blonde took the papers and a pen. She was ready to sign them.

“She’ll never forgive you.” Helena tried to reach for the pen, but it was out of reach. “Bloody hell, give me the pen, Tina!” She said warningly.

“You know that she tried to take Angelica away, don’t you?”

“She’s Angelica’s other parent.” There was no way to reason with Tina, she was like a warrior on her path of destruction.

“She took Angel away and you know that. So let me sign those papers.”

“No! If you sign those papers you’ll not only hurt Bette, but you and Angel also. So give me the bloody pen.” Again she reached for the pen, but again it was out of reach. “Don’t be so bitchy.”

“Says the one who perfected this word.”

Helena stood up. “You really are going to sign them? It means that you are going to bind yourself to Henry through Angel. You are going to share Bette’s kid with Henry.”

“Angelica is not Bette’s child.”

Helena sighed. “Not biological, but in every other way.”

Tina looked a little unsure. Deep down she knew that Helena was right. It was wrong to take Angelica from Bette, but it had all been a spur of the moment. Automatically she went back to defending herself “Why are you on Bette’s side anyway? I thought you are enemies?”

Helena ignored the last sentence and said “I know how it feels to loose your child. I know how it feels to not see them everyday. I am only trying to help Bette and you, but unfortunately you can’t see that right now.”

“How are you going to help Bette? You don’t have any more money, your Mom cut you off financially.”

Helena shook her head. “That doesn’t mean that I don’t have any money. And I am going to help Bette, you’ll see.”

“We will see.” Tina’s eyes were as cold as Helena’s. What had happened? They had been lovers and then friends.

Helena’s eyes softened. “Tina, do you really want to hurt Bette like that?”

The blonde thought about it for a second and then said “Yes.”

“Then we can’t be friends.” Helene left Tina’s office and went to her own. She felt a little guilty, because she had promised Bette to convince Tina to not sign the papers. But now she felt like she had screwed up.

Bette and her had spoken about the whole situation and Helena had told her some things about what had happened to her, when she and Winnie had had the custody fight. The two of them had drunk two bottles of wine and then Helena had promised that she would speak with Tina. Okay, she had been drunk then, but that didn’t make any difference. She would’ve spoken to Tina anyways, because she didn’t want anybody to feel like she had at that time.

But now she had screwed up, okay not really screwed up, because Tina did the screwing up for some time now, but Helena felt like she had lost a very important battle. And now there was only one way to help Bette out.

Helena had to transform to bitchy Helena. She took out her cell phone and called a number. “Mummy, I need your help.”
