“Fine, what is the bet?”

“If you can double your money in two weeks I will give you the $1 million from my last offer and I will set you free.” There was a silence between the two women for a moment.

“Catherine, what happens if I can’t double my money in two weeks?” Catherine’s eyes squinted slyly and evilly; planning.

            “Then we will go with the last bet and you will be my servant and sex slave for a year.”

Helena looked at Catherine with a smirk wide on her face and they both knew the bet was on. Catherine’s sly eyes remained as she approached Helena with intent.

“Fantastic!” Catherine licked her lips, “Helena, let’s seal this bet with a kiss.” Again, Helena shifted away and held her hands up in defense.

            “Let’s just play the game” Boldly, Helena left Catherine just as that. It seemed as if she was regaining her control back from the woman who had held her down for so long.

            Immediately, Helena drove right back over to Alice’s home; a place of familiarity. She embraced her friend once again and sat back down in the living room. Listening to every detail, Alice held intently onto Helena’s hand as she told the story of what happened in detail.

            “That’s great news!” Alice exclaimed.

            “You think?”

            “YES!” She said wildly, “Helena, you can do this. You have all the money at your fingertips, now you just have to do it without Catherine.

            “I know and that’s what worries me,” Helena sighed.

“I will help you,” Alice said while giving her hand a gentle, friendly squeeze, “We all will. Now, let’s unpack this box and get you back and settled in.”

            After about a half hour of digging in through boxes, opening packages, and sorting through things; Alice opened a box and saw a tape and picked it up.

            “What is this tape of? Do you need it?” Alice questioned.

“Do you remember Dylan Moreland?”

“Yeah, isn’t she the one that got you for sexually harassment?”

            “Yes, that’s the one. You might say this was her ‘good bye tape’, along with sending back the money along with her footage. Dylan wanted me to go ahead and put the story forward.”
