I Will Not Let You Fall
That is what she got as soon as she made direct eye contact with him. He was piercing her with his judgmental glare, his features contorted in an expression of condemnation. Bette had to turn away, for she was beginning to feel like a child being rebuked.
”You should be ashamed of yourself. Just look at what you have turned into,” Melvin reproached in his authoritative baritone.
Bette didn’t dare defend herself, her head hung low as if all power had left the muscles of her neck.
”I didn’t raise you to be so weak that you can’t even pull yourself together.”
At that Bette snorted a rueful laugh. ”You didn’t raise me at all,” she blurted out, unable to restrain herself.
”Of all the nerve!” Melvin retorted indignantly.
”You were too busy with your precious career and never-ending flings with our never-ending maids to be raising me.”
Melvin pointed a condemning finger at her and stabbed the air with it. ”You shouldn’t say things like that, Elizabeth Porter. Do not disrespect me in such immature, snotty manner ever again. Do I make myself clear?”
Bette shook her head and stared out the window, giving up the struggle.
”I spoke to Kattie recently. She finally seems to have gotten a grip on her addictions. She also told me all about your shady dealings.”
Closing her eyes for a moment, Bette set her jaw tight and refused to react, even though she was seething inside at Kit’s long tongue.
”Now you will listen to me very attentively. I take responsibility to resolve all your problems with the law, but only to help you get back on your feet. I can assure you there would be no easy way out, judging by how serious your crimes are. But I will do my best. I repeat – only to help you turn your life around. Afterwards, I do not wish to see you or hear from you ever again. You have become a shadow of my daughter that I do not want to be assosiated with.”
At his last words Bette almost threw up all over Mercedes’ luxurious interior. She slowly turned her head to look at him, her lips curled in disgust. ”The sad truth is, daddy, you really deserve me and every sort of burden that goes with me. I hope you will carry that burden with you for as long as you live. And when you’re dying of cancer or some other terminal illness, you will realize how much you’ve failed as a father. Only it will be too late for redemption. If I’m still alive until then, I promise to make sure you die alone, alone and with no one to care, or even shed a single tear for you.”

Oh god Valerie, i am so happy that you updated again.
The plot thickens, Marcus dead, Bette knowing that Helena is a cop, Melvin at the scene who bailed Bette out of jail, Tina who left Bette but still loves Bette and Bette visiting Tina in the middle of the night and scaring her.
So many things are happening and Bette spiralling out of control due to all of that.
I understand Tina leaving Bette but she is the one that was able to Hold Bette back and now that Bette lost her she doesn’t give a shit what will happen with herself.
I still have faith that somehow everything will end well and held hope out from the story title ” I Will Not Let You Fall ”
Thank you so much for for this incredible story!
Wow Valerie:
What a chapter, poor Bette, poor Tina, they love each other, but it will be hard to stay together if things don’t change; I hope Bette change her life, now that Marcus is dead. But the question is who killed Marcus, I don’t think is the police, maybe he was killed in a mafias’ war, or perhaps is her own boss Dr. Arnodelo, who wanted to intimidate her or to remove Marcus from protecting Bette, at the end the same Arnodelo made her kill Dominic, his own family, why not to kill Marcus and then Bette and blame on them all the crime he has done. Bette has to do the first move and change sides, she needs a deal with the police and to give them Arnodelo in exchange for protection for her and Shane. Melvin is too late, he could help Bette before she reached this point, now it’s too late; and now he also blames everything on her, as if he hadn’t pushed her in the hell that she is now.
Helena, of course, is a bitch, but what else could she do, she is an undercover cop. I hope Tina would realize, of what she has awakened in Bette and decide to go back to her.
That was a wonderful chapter Valerie, I hope you may post an update soon, this is a great story. Thanks

I love a vulnerable Bette. I love your writing. Pleas post soon. Im in love with this story.
This story is wonderful, it left me with a heart in my hands, when I read each chapter. And more anxious to have no idea how the end of this story will be,
without having to separate our couple, the more we know that every action has its consequences, and in one way or another bette will have to answer for their crimes.
Unfortunately another blow in bette’s life, the loss of his friend Marcus, is sure to make him want revenge.
