“Just leave, Kelly. I don’t want my daughter seeing you when she shows up here.”

She then stands to her feet and walks way and out through the door.

I roll my eyes and look over to see if Tina had taken her handbag and she has. I grab my phone from mine and text her.

Tina Kennard<3
I got rid of her. xo

Tina’s POV

I hear my phone vibrating in my purse and I dig and search for it.

When I look at the text it’s from Bette.

“Bette got rid of her.” I say to Kit.

I open up the door and hold it for Kit that follows behind me.

When I walk to the table Bette’s hands are running through her hair.

“What the hell did she want?” I ask with annoyance.

“She’s just reminding me of the “deal” that’s what she calls it. The blackmail is a deal.” I roll my eyes.

“What a crazy bitch.” Kit says with a bit of anger. “I’m glad you are taking the bitch down.”

“She’s insane. Like she’s scaring me.” Tina says looking down at her coffee in her mug.

“T.” I say reaching out and taking her hand in mine. “You don’t have to be scared of her, I won’t let her do anything to you.”

“It’s just Bette, we-“ Tina pauses and sighs before continuing. “We don’t know what she’s really capable of..”

“T, don’t worry about her, I’m going to handle it.”
“Let’s just hope this doesn’t come back to bite you and then make it worse for anyone.” Tina’s words bite out.

“I’m not going to let that happen, you have to believe me on that T, I promise.” I say.

“I just want this to be over with and I want to move on with our lives.” Tina says.

“And that day is going to come and i hope it’s going to be soon.”

I watch as she nods her head.

“I agree with Tina though, baby girl.”

“She’s not going to get her way anymore, not with Peggy behind it. Kelly might seem powerful because of all her money but there is always someone more powerful and she’s going to find that out.”

I sit on the floor in front of the bedroom patio door letting my mind relax and my thoughts escape.
