    I Will Not Let You Fall

    Shane could be seen waiting in the car for her, but before Bette climbed inside, she heard her name being called. It was Arnodelo’s voice. She turned and saw him waving his hand, inviting her for a conversation. Complying, Bette walked a short distance toward the man, who stood near his black GMC.

    ”Elizabeth,” he acknowledged her with a faint nod.

    ”Doctor,” the brunette greeted in return.

    ”My dear, you are shivering. You are going to catch cold by all appearances,” he said and commanded his guard with a movement of the hand before the guard hastily came up to Bette and put his umbrella over her. ”You must get home, have a warm bath and a nice drink of hot tea with honey.”

    ”I will do just that, Doctor,” Bette played along.

    ”I take it you are aware of my discontent by your unwillingness to answer my calls,” he remarked, ”and I was accepting it up to this point, bearing in mind your grief over your partner’s passing. But from this day forth you will exert every effort to change this little tendency of yours. Is that right?”

    The brunette stared into his icy eyes. ”Of course.”

    The man smiled a thin, phony smile and reached to hold Bette’s shoulders. ”People live and die every day, but life goes on, and so shall we.”

    Bette forced a smile too.

    ”Moreover, we now cooperate with Juarez Cartel, therefore clear head is what you need to keep henceforth, as well as clear relations with business partners and a clear plan for each day.”

    Bette kept listening to him silently.

    ”Take the rest of today to unwind and tune in to the right wave-length, but tomorrow back to work you come.”

    ”Yes, sir.”

    Once Bette’s back was turned to Arnodelo, her smile dropped off her face as quick as a guillotine’s blade. She came back to Shane’s car and got inside.

    Looking straight ahead at the windshield, the brunette spoke flatly, ”I need you to do something for me.”

    Bette closed the door of her apartment and leaned her back against it, head bowed, inspecting the parquet floor, which looked like it hadn’t been cleared in a few weeks. In fact, it hadn’t. Since Tina had started absenting herself from Bette’s company, a floorcloth had never been touched and used at the apartment.

    1. Hi Valerie:

      This is sad as you said, but it’s also a great story, Marcus has been murdered and his killers are dead, apparently, it was Arnodelo who planned his death and he may go after Bette and Shane.

      What bothers me is that one of the killers said (before dying) that they had the protection of the cops, which for me it could mean that Arnodelo wants to show that Bette alone with her gang is the criminal head behind the drug trafficking, because, in that way, he will have a break from the police persecution, while Bette and the gang are murdered making appeared as it was a fight among gangsters.

      Now, honestly, I think we have reached the point in which Bette and Shane have to make a decision, and I trust you, Valerie, that you will lead us, sooner or later, in this wonderful, and amazing rollercoaster-story to a happy end.

      Thank you so much for this excellent and heartbreaking story, I will be waiting impatiently for the next chapter.

    2. Hey Valerie,

      I am excited for the update, but i will read it in a few days. I need some happy and sweet and not sad and dark.

      I truly enjoy your story and will follow it to the hopefully happy end.

    3. Hey Valerie, i just read the chapter and boy you were right about warning us it was a sad one.

      Especially the end where Tina took Bette in her arms and she finally broke down.

      I still trust and hope that you stick to the title and that you will not let us and Bette fall.

      It will be interesting to read how you are going to let Bette leave this mess and hopefully start a new life with Tina (and Shane) in Auckland. But that is my wish, maybe you have another end for this incredible story.

      Thank you so much for for this incredible story!

    4. I read the post 5 days ago and I’ve been contemplating about it since then. I definitely simpathize this Bette Porter, but I can’t decide for myself wether this is becouse it is still our Bette even if in a different incarnation, or because the circumstances of her life are so that we can’t help feeling pity for this woman. So what do you think, would we still like the main character if it were not Bette Porter ?
