Without looking at Peter, he continued, “Stay focused on the larger goals, Peter. Let me take care of the unpleasant things, alright?”
Peter thought of countering Jackson but saw his adviser had started working on the files already.
As he shifted from one foot to another while he weighed what Jackson had advised him, Peter suddenly felt overcome by weakness, feeling the effects of the long day beginning to affect his energy levels.
He had neither the energy nor clarity of mind to argue with Jackson on the issue so he decided take the lawyer’s advice. He turned away from his adviser to walk out of the library, planning to rejoin the party in the large living room. But he saw Brom push past the large front door, walking quickly towards the hall that led to the room Peter had assigned to him. Peter sucked a breath to summon energy he thought he didn’t have just a minute ago and half-ran after Brom. When he drew near he called out, “Brom!”
Brom halted and whirled around, wiping off some of the sweat off of his brow with the side of a finger as he did.
Two hours previously, Dave had given Brom an abbreviated account of what had happened to Bette. Agitated by Dave’s report, Brom’s normally laid-back, unflappable attitude evaporated as he scrambled and quickly made plans to try to use the man who’d attacked Bette, and who’d been knocked out by the brunette, to try to track the man’s partner.
Brom seethed and swore at Bette in his mind while he waited for callbacks from those he was hurriedly making arrangements with.
Finally, he gave up trying to control his temper and irritation at Bette and decided to leave the impromptu gathering in Peter’s estate so that he could go for a long run to try to clear his mind. While he ran he followed up on the arrangements he was hastily putting into place.
“Have you calmed down?” Peter asked Brom now while the tall muscular man waited for Peter, his demeanor still radiating tension.
Brom shrugged. He continued to flick off the sweat pouring out of seemingly all his pores. “Have Bette or Tina come out of their room yet?” he asked.

So glad to see this story back!
More bette and tina NC-17 please
Thanks for the update, enjoyed it.
Wow Jules and Diane are not Bette and Tina but that was so hot! There are so many twists and turns and you never really know who to trust. I love it! Thanks for posting.
I’ve spent the last three weeks reading “Let It Happen”, “Love Soul Heaven Hell” and “Empire State of Mind”. I’m a sucker for a good love story and an even bigger one for a love story with mystery, action, and intrigue. I particularly enjoy FanFIction when the author takes the characters in directions different from the original series. I’ve enjoyed how Bette turns out to be some business genius, who is sought after by the world’s movers and shakers. Yet, despite her enormous success in the business world, art still plays and important role in her life, and her life with Tina. I am riveted by the connection between Bette and Tina throughout these stories. Despite their rocky start, their connection remains the axis upon which these stories revolve around. They’ve weathered former suiters, art thieves, fighting factions in a war zone, greedy gold thieves, and rogue intelligence agents, and their connection seems to grow stronger and stronger.
I also enjoy how you keep tying earlier scenes to the current plot line. It’s as if the first two stories laid out all the puzzle pieces and in the third story, we get to see how Bette finally puts all those pieces together. Clever, quite clever. I have a sneaking suspicion that her rescuer, Harry, from the caves, will eventually play a role in wrapping up this gold mystery. I can’t wait to see how this all plays out and whether you have another sequel planned for us. You have some crazy, mad skills as a writer, and I hope you continue to share those skills with your readers.
What can I say….. thanks for the read through! Glad to note the broad storyline “coheres” for you, the independent reader. I must confess there is a future arc I’ve written out, but still mulling over. Do let me know if it works (if I can manage to insert it before this one ends).
Welcome back Sky!! I was wondering what was happening with Tom. I hope the antidote will work for him. His Mom did I want a legacy for him( yes I know his legacy is Tina and Bette’s baby). Is the mystery killer the woman that Tom’s mom contacted. Philby has to be stopped. Glad to see Bette and Brom make up. Diane and Jules have to get married. Diane has to trust her heart. Jules only wants her. I love all the intrigue and backstory. Bette and Tina would be the best guardians for the gold and Peter’s fortune. Their big hearts and giving souls would make them the true protectors of the world. Keep this marvelous story coming with all its twists and turns. I love it!!
Oh my, I was blessed with 32 pages of bliss. My reward for threatening the life of his first born if, my computer tech could not fix my computer, in a timely manner. He was instructed to fix it now or die trying. Discussion on phone that could have started an International incident. But, he did, and I read and reread my reward. Very much worth probably the beginning of WWIII! The episode is amazing and everything is coming together as a good novelist desires. Maybe, Diane should speak with Tina about jumping into forever with J. Tina had somewhat of the same concerns as Diane. And look how well that turned out! Please keep writing and I will try not to threaten the life of anyone else!
A New Chapter! That pleasant surprise.
You have a great story in his
hands, mystery, romance and lots of action.
I love your story.
Do not delay to post a new chapter.
10 stars.
