Maxine: “I raised him, now he’s a good man, and works in the American consulate, he’s a diplomat”
Tina: “is it Marcus?”
Maxine: “yes, it’s him”
Bette: (with a shadow of jealousy on her face) “Marcus is my brother?”
There was tension and silence in the phone line, the idea of Marcus being her brother was a little hard for Bette, who thought for ten years, that he was Tina’s lover; again the idea crossed her mind; she knows Tina loves her, but how to be sure her girlfriend doesn’t feel anything for men.
Maxine: “yes, he is, you, Kit, and Marcus look alike”
Sitting at Bette’s side, Tina could feel the growing discomfort in her girlfriend, so she tried to change the conversation.
Tina: “Melvin has to be stopped; he’s a very bad person”
Maxine: “I know…, but I can’t do anything from here; however it is my soon return to New York in a few months what is causing his illicit and criminal maneuvers in the company”
Tina: “you mean the attempt against Bette’s life?”
Maxine: “no, that is a consequence of the power struggle among the bad guys”
Bette: “then, what are you talking about?”
Maxine: “it’s complicated”
Tina: “it’s related to the buildings of the company and the illicit attempt of selling them, right?”
Bette: “now, I don’t see the connection”
Tina: (trying again to explain it to Bette) “we know that Henry, as well as, Aaron, tried to sell the buildings of the company…”
Bette: “and we suspect Melvin was their accomplice”
Maxine: “yes, Melvin wants to sell all the buildings, before I get there”
Tina: “why, as far as we know the buildings belong to someone else”
Bette: “and Melvin has tons of money”
Maxine: “no, he doesn’t, on the contrary, he needs money, and he is attempting to get it from selling the buildings”
Bette: “I… I don’t follow”
Maxine: “he knows that as soon as I set a foot on American soil, he’ll lose the stocks of the company and all his properties, he’ll need to turn back the money he stole from us”
Bette: “why? And how?”
Maxine: “he stole money from our organization”
Tina: “that’s right, but you probably can’t prove it”
Maxine: “yes, I can, because it wasn’t cash that he took, it was mainly stocks and bonds of this company as well as from real state companies; and indeed what he stole were old documents with forged signatures and incomplete legal support; when he arrived at the States he went to a bank in New York reclaiming the money for those values, in those days he didn’t have a penny, he had only what he was wearing and a dirty room in a cheap hotel to stay, so, he recruited two lawyers accomplices, Franklin and William, they received their payment in company shares for their service, Melvin got the 20% of the stocks and gave William and Franklin, 10% each…, however, I have the authentic documents and proof that all those shares were stolen”

This is really good…. you did answer a lot of questions about this story….. but I still believe that Miranda owns the buildings and the transition is to Tina whenever the time is right… In the mean time dear Melvin is chasing a ghost – one he does not know exist. Things are not going well for him.
It appears to me that the personnel department should have been able to hold up Melvin’s hiring of Adele Channing by not allowing her on the premises until she received a full background and security check. This is a buisness of inventions which depend upon records which are maintained in the computer systems. No person should be allowed access without clearance to show they were not likely to commit corporate espionage. And it should not matter who gives the order for the hire, it should be automatic that security clearance is required or entry into the building and into the computer systems would be denied. No exceptions….
I find that Maxine’s secrecy to be interesting. The kidnapping charge is an inventive vehicle by the writer to keep Maxine out of the country. However, its strange that an attorney would not have devised a plan, hired a team of attorneys in which to mount a defense to overcome those charges rather than wait decades for a statue of limitations to expire. Melvin had some money he had stolen, and that is the counter charges that should have been brought. There is a shorter statute of limitation on fraud than kidnapping. Oh and there are always the charges of rape which could have been address as as well.
Had I been Maxine, Melvin would have never know who his daughter was – Bette that is. That is unless she wanted to meet him while he was in prison.
This is a great drama and it is coming together nicely…… cannot wait to read the next chapter… write and publish as soon as you can.
Hi Martha.
When I had to choose a title for this chapter I thought “all hidden things”. But then I realized not all hidden will be revealed here; so, there are more things that Maxine is hiding, and it’s clear she is hiding them, even Tina knows, because her recollection of the past facts doesn’t match what Maxine is telling them.
Yes, Melvin has the feeling that someone dangerous to him is around.
Background checking is necessary for many public offices and some companies, but not in this one, Melvin is hiring Adele as his personal assistant, no as standard personnel of the company. Remember this is a private company with a hierarchy.
Obviously, Maxine could do nothing when Melvin took the money from the organization they had in South America. She was very busy rescuing her family and friends, and she had to defend herself from the mafia and all the bad guys there; Peggy, as you read, was dealing with her family problems and trying to help Kit and Bette to be out of the reach of Melvin; Mabel was very sick and there was nobody else. But I will give you a clue, Maxine didn’t fight her early way home (New York) for other reasons, we’ll find out in a couple of chapters.
The synchronism of the time wasn’t in favor of Maxine to hide her daughter from Melvin, Bette was born before the divorce, and at least for 1 year, she was the apple of Melvin’s eyes, and later in New York, she frequented her father, as it was written in the first chapters of this story.
But I believe that in the Maxine generation lesbians and gays suffered a lot in comparison with Bette and Tina’s generation.
There are still some nuts to crack here, and hopefully, a wedding if our girls survive in one piece.
Thank you Martha for your comments, always very valuable. I hope to post soon, but, as I say, sometimes things take us out of our schedule.
Take care.

Hi proteonomics,
What a amazing chapter!
It did answer a few questions but Maxime is still hiding some things and like Martha i wonder why Maxime didn’t hire a legal team. There must be a reason she choose to stay and await the time before she can return to NY.
I am glad nobody was hurt by Henry but he is on the run and still dangerous, they should be careful all the time. And Melvin hiring Adele and on the search for Bette and catched her before they could remove the programm that hacked in his computer and files. Maybe it’s good that Louise is with her.
Melvin, god what a incredible despicable man, Abusing his own daughter and trying to sell his own son all for money. And let’s not forget that he also had an eye on Bette. He is a horrible man and needs to be stopped and deserves to spend the rest of his life rotting in jail.
Despite all the drama, there was also a ray of hope, the conversation between Bette and Tina to take the cold out of the air and that ended with Bette proposing to Tina.
It was really a joy to read this chapter and i hope you will be able to post soon!
Take care my friend!
Hi, my friend.
I’m glad you liked the chapter; and you’re right, Maxine is still hiding things and besides the statute of limitations, she had other reasons to wait all this time before coming to NY.
Now, about Melvin entering Bette’s office, remember the program was almost done when Tina left, and Bette only has to destroy it, but as Melvin was forcing the door to open, Louise unplugged the terminal, for which Bette was grateful, so let’s see what happened with the hacking program.
Yes, Melvin is one of those evil guys, different than Frank Hart and Wilson Peabody, they married lesbians in the closet but they were good guys caring for their children.
Yes, the good thing, and I’m glad that you noticed, is Bette proposing to Tina in a very unconventional way with a reel of platinum for their wedding rings (ha-ha-ha).
As I wrote before, and you know, I wanted to post the last week when I showed you the picture, but life is unpredictable sometimes.
Thank you very much for your refreshing comments, my friend.

Hi, Collins.
Glad to read your comment, yes, lots of action, but the best is yet to come.

Thanks for posting.
A full chapter with answers but still some questions.
Looking forward to more posts to answer those questions.
Hi SG:
I’m late, I know, and I can’t post again.
Yes, in each chapter new things will be discovered; but only at the end, we’ll solve all our doubts.
I’ll try to find time to post.
Thank you for reading and commented, my friend.
