    Author Notes:
    Summary:
    What truths will be unveiled between the two former lovers?

    Tina’s heart broke all over again as she watched Bette struggle with the pain she must have felt for those then orphaned children. She saw how shattered Bette was. She reached out and offered some tissues and Bette accepted. Yet, she wouldn’t allow Tina to offer any other form of comfort and solace.

    “I’m so sorry you had to tell them by yourself.” Tina wished to lessen the hurt, the pain Bette still obviously felt.

    ‘”Hmm.” Bette just nodded. “It was extremely difficult. Their despair and sadness. It brought back memories of my own mother’s death when I was around their age.”

    “Oh, right.” Tina grimaced, recalling when Bette had told her about Rachel’s death.

    “How ironic that the children would lose both of their parents in car accidents just like I did.” Bette frowned.

    “I’m sad that all of you had to experience that horror.” Tina could feel the uneasiness in Bette’s manner.

    “Me too.” Bette offered a slight uplift of her lips, but her eyes were still rimmed with sadness.

    “What happened next?” Tina prompted her to continue.

    Bette explained the challenging custody battle over the children from the family of their deceased mother. Naturally, they were more interested in the potential rewards from the Porter wealth than the actual welfare of the children. They happily offered to drop their lawsuit if they would receive proper compensation for their loss. British pounds seemed to motivate them to sign over their legal rights and forgo any further custody matters. In that respect, they were no better than the irresponsible woman that had given birth to them.

    Bette instructed her family’s legal team to work out the details and certify the appropriate party signatures on the documents surrendering all their legal rights and privileges now and in the future to those two children. Bette made damn sure that the children never saw or spoke to those retched people ever again.

    By that time, Bette quickly had her lawyers file for sole custody and the adoption process was conducted and concluded in rapid fashion. Helena had been named their guardian in the event that any mishap would befall Bette. In a matter of months, the children came under Bette’s sole protection and safety. Under Bette’s stewardship and diligence, Jackson and Stephanie had grown into the marvelous people they were today.

    1. The long awaited talk between them, still Bette was trying to avoid it but Tina didn’t give her the chance.

      I do understand Bette’s reasons to ghost Tina but on the other hand she was moving to be with Tina. So yes i understand Tina’s anger and heartbreak as well. She wasn’t giving the choice to help Bette.

      And now Bette is still struggling because of her own health, she denies herself the love she and Tina still have for each other. You can say it’s honorable of Bette to set Tina free to find someone who will love her and have a family with but Tina made it clear she only wants that with Bette, the love of her life.

      Thank you for this chapter.

      I hope life treats you and your wife well.

      • Hey pal,

        Hope you’re doing well where you are. It’s been hot & steamy over here – YUCK!

        Yeah, Bette just can’t seem to help herself & wants to deny herself & Tina a chance at happiness once again due to the bleak outlook for her illness.

        But, TK is one determined lady, so hope is not lost yet.

        Thanks for your continued support & advise.

        Enjoy the rest of your summer – fall is not that far away.

    2. Wow, so intense. Talk about stubborn – I just want to strangle Bette myself.

      I know she’s trying to protect Tina again, but give the lady a chance.

      Yet, I can detect cracks in Bette’s armor, hopefully Tina can poke some more holes in it.

      Thanks for your efforts and look forward to the last chapters.

      • It was intense to write too!!

        I have felt the same urges about Bette in certain instances in this story as well – you’re not alone in that.

        This was Bette’s last big stance so, we’ll see who has some influence over her & what direction they point her in the next chapter.

        Thanks for hanging in there.

    3. Very powerful chapter. We indeed learned a lot.

      To me, Bette’s just scared bat shit crazy because of her undying love for Tina and once again, a missed opportunity for them to rekindle their relationship because of her illness. She doesn’t want to burden Tina again and she’s trying to protect TK as she thought she had done in the past.

      TK needs to just go after her and not stop until Bette tells her about her illness.

      I’m sure you have that all mapped out!!

      Thanks for the exceptional chapter and your wizardry with words and emotions.

      Keep well and I hope your wife is doing better.

      • Hey, thanks for the wonderful comment & your trust in the story & me.

        You’re right about Bette’s motivation to protect TK once more. But, she’ll have to face the truth about her feelings for TK & realize just how deeply she loves & needs her.

        Much more coming your way.

        Thanks for the mention about my wife. Fingers crossed.

    4. The heartache here for both Tina and Bette was so sad. They love each other so much, but Bette’s so stubborn in her quest to protect Tina that she’s hurting her more.

      I certainly hope she realizes this mistake and allows Tina back into her life.

      Great work as always.

      • Hey JW,

        Lots of angst in this chapter & love lost & hope getting a kick in the pants.

        Bette’s goin’ get some much needed advice & an ultimatum or two this time, so look for a shift in direction.

        As always, thanks for your support.

    5. Hey Collins,

      Loved this update! Loved Tina here, she was determined to get all the TRUTH out. Happy to see that Bette answered all Tina’s questions, and Tina made it clear she still loves Bette and wants to be with her. The next thing is for Tina to get all the answers about Bette’s health. Already looking forward to the next update.

      Hope all is well with you and your wife, my friend.

      • Hey pal,

        TK was the star in this chapter – super determined & unwilling to admit defeat with Bette’s words or actions.

        The health issue is the next big challenge & TK will get some help along those lines.

        Thanks for the remembrance for my wife.

        Take care of yourself & enjoy the remainder of the summer.

    6. This was worth our wait. Loved every word.

      Tina has the heart of a lion and won’t give up on her love for Bette.

      Bette has to give herself a chance for happiness and face her illness with Tina by her side.

      Post again when you can and take care of yourself and your wife.

    7. So glad you’re still with me on this journey of denied love & eternal hope.

      Bette will a lesson in listening from someone she loves very much – that should kick start her to get her priorities in order.

      Hopefully will have an update by the end of this month.

    8. Hey Collins,

      At long last I have got around to re-reading your lovely story!
      It really is one of those I can’t put down. I’ve waited ages for you to continue this story! It’s been a hectic year for me and you by the sounds of it, but I am trying to catch up.

      This story is getting better and better! What a conundrum our couple are going through.
      Why, oh why did Bette just walk away all those years ago, didn’t she know she would have needed the support of the woman she has never stopped loving !
      Why didn’t Tina ever get on that plane….she must of read about the death of Bette’s father and brother and know Bette would have needed her?

      I’m supposing Bette’s illness is related to the China visit many years ago and hopefully her colleagues will find a curse for her to EVENTUALLY be with the woman she loves?

      It’s truly heartbreaking what our couple are going through right now, they both need to stop being so stubborn and open up with each other. The way you have written this chapter is exceptional, you really are with them, willing them one and feeling the emotion of their situation through your words.

      Don’t leave it to long to post! Take care of yourself and your wife ….. We are waiting for the next chapter !!

      • Hi Janice,

        Thank you so much for taking the time from your own busy schedule to comment. This novel for me has been a labor of love – both for Tibette & London, my favorite city.

        Yes, its a complicated story of hope, anguish & eternal love. Well, if Bette or Tina had actually seen each other again years ago, we wouldn’t have a story. Ha!!

        The story is definitely in the last quarter & a few chapters are left.

        And yes, you’re on the right track about the relationship with Bette’s work in China and her current illness.

        Thanks for the kind words about my writing, means a tremendous about to us writers when readers appreciate what we’ve created & hold dear to our hearts.

        Yes, my wife is doing better & a big surgery coming up end of next month – so fingers crossed!

        I’ve posted the next chapter on AO3 because I couldn’t get access to this site until tonight – have no idea why – it just wouldn’t accept my password.

        I’ll try to post it here now.

        Thanks again & I hope you enjoy the next few chapters.

        See ya soon.
