Christina’s cheeks were red, the fire in her heavy, desperate for an escape. “Hypocrite! You are pointing your finger at me and your husband murdered two people! He tried to kill a third!”
Tracy yelled at her. “He did what he did to save you! To keep you from living a life of sin!”
Christina stared at her. “Are you really this naïve? Or are you just blind to the truth? Dad did what he did to keep the money flowing at Starbird. Now that he’s in jail for murder, his conservative backers are even happier that he was ‘defending the sacred family’,” she said, finishing the last part with air quotes.
Chris looked at her sister. “You see? This is why you keep coming around? To drag me back here for this?”
“Your soul is dark. You will burn in hell!” said Tracy.
Kaitlyn ran her hands through her hair. “Mom! Stop it! Christina, this isn’t about that. I just wanted time with you. I wanted to clear the air. I want you to know that Mom and I don’t represent what Dad did!”
Christina’s eyes narrowed. “Well, maybe you should have clarified your position with your mother. She obviously supports what our father did.”
Kaitlyn turned to her mother. “That’s not what she meant. Right, Mom?”
Tracy folded her arms across her chest and looked away.
Christina looked at her sister. “You’re no better. When they disowned me, you were right there to support them. You have never given a damn about me. Let’s stop pretending that I matter to you!”
Kaitlyn threw up her hands. “I was young, Chris! What did you want me to do? Make a grandstand for you? For something you weren’t even sure about? You and that woman ended things! You married Henry for God’s sake.”
“Yes! Because dad orchestrated that! And Henry paid for that plan with his life!”
Chris gestured toward their mother. “She can’t go five minutes without damning me to hell. Her husband literally killed people and she’s damning me to hell. I’m in a loving, committed relationship with a remarkable, beautiful woman and she’s damning me to hell.”
Tracy shook her head. “This is exactly what your father never wanted for you! He tried to put you on the right path. He tried to keep you away from this sin!”

No need in name calling now MTS “creeping random gents” lol.. JK. And I did not Tech-shamed you. .. You already had it and I just open the blinds Ok I’ll go read now. I like it when Tina is feisty. at least its and R which means it going to lead up to something Right?
I’m literally laughing out loud. And you did Tech-Shame me. But it’s okay. i don’t bruise easy.
Ok I do admit I had one question and you fixed it. But I couldn’t help it when I saw it .. You cracked me up. I’m not one to pass up a sarcastic moment.. So glad you don’t bruise easily.
Good Chapter….. I think that I would have pointed out that if that car accident had happened the way Dad planned it, that it could have been Tina who was dead and Bette in rehab. Would it have made any difference that dear old dad killed his daughter to save her from a sinful life? And why would he kill Henry? What is the justification for killing Henry?
I still cannot see why a fear of “messing up” Dylan would have kept Kit from seeing her son. He may not have needed therapy had he seen that she was no longer in a comma but gradually getting better. Six months is a long time to keep a child away especially when there is no real reason to do so. People do better dealing with what is, than what their imagination brings about. He had already seen her at her absolute worst, so seeing her on the mend would only be a positive. So they will finally be reunited. Hooray!
Thanks for this chapter.. Look forward to more.
Thanks for the feisty Tina!
Nice chapter, love Kit.
Stay safe and post again soo, please
SG
Oh well Not R I was looking for but good all the same. Brought back some old thoughts for me. but Chapter was good. I’m glad Kit is doing better and ready to see her son. Thank you.
Thank you for this chapter!
I don’t agree with Tina about her family – yeah, with her hypocritical mother she is definitely not ready to make a peace, but with her sister? I don’t know but seems that they could find some common ground. If her sister will accept Tina’s relationship – maybe Tina could give her another chance.
And i agree – time for Dylan to see his mother
Hi MTS,
I can’t hide anymore, especially after your request to be friends with me ????
I have read this story from the beginning and it is fantastic. I still have to catch up with the other stories.
Thank you!
I like this determined and no-nonsense Tina, eh, Chris. Straight to the point, out with the truth.
I don’t know what reality Sis Kait and Ma Kennard live in. But if even this terrible crime commited by Pa Kennard isn’t enough to at least change their tune to “live and let live” and be ashamed of what he did to Tina and the people in her life, Tina shouldn’t waste another word.
Kaitlyn might be irritated by her mother’s religious tunes but she also dismisses Tina’s love for women as something like a pastime. I think I remember some strange comments from Kaitlyn at a family dinner (in your last book).
Anyway I don’t believe that she wants to spend time with Tina. She only wants to make sure that the money from the family business keeps coming.
Great moment at the hospital with Kit. I’d say it did wonders to both Kit and Tina. Looking forward to Dylan’s visit to his mother.
Now I’m anxiously waiting for Tina to return home to Bette and tell her about both meetings.
Thank you for posting!
Hey Kiwi…stop reading my thoughts!! Tina returning home to Bette is exactly the focus of the next chapter!
And I agree. Sometimes you have to cut off those people that drain your joy. You might mend things later, but people should heal first.
I died at “creeping random gents” LOL
Lol! I think that dude from Italy is still on here. He might now be a different screen name and pic. Like damn…is nothing sacred? ????????????????????️????
