”This means your daughter is going to sink deep, this gallery isn’t mine anymore. Bette has made this hers now.”

”No one is to blame but yourself.”

”You don’t even care that your daughter has nothing now?”

”You’ll figure it out, Kelly.” Larry says before ending the phone call and hanging the phone up on his daughter.

Kelly realizes that the other end of the line has ended and this angers her even more.

”Get that Photoshopping nerd to me now. The same one as last time, you remember right?”

”Yes ma’am.” The man says exiting the room.

”I’ll make you embarrassed now, Bette.”

..

”Bette, you got it?”

”Yes, T.” I say into the phone. ”He signed it.”

”Oh my god, Bette. This means so much.”

I can hear the cracking excitement in her voice.

”I’ve got it baby, this gallery is mine and Peggy’s now.” A tear begins to roll down my cheek. ”This is my dream, I own my own gallery again but this time with an amazing and outstanding woman.”

I look at Peggy as I talk into the phone.

Peggy gives me a smile and raises her glass in the air.

”When will you be home?”

”We are celebrating at the moment then we are heading out to a few galleries, I’ll be sure to let you know by tonight when we check into our hotel.”

”I am so proud of you Bette, all of us are. I love you and I’ll talk to you tonight.”

I smile into the phone as if she can see my smile before I speak. ”I love you too, T.”

Tina’s POV

”I’m so happy for the both of you TK!” Alice says before embracing me.

”I knew my mother and Bette would get this, I bet Bette had just as much impact on Mr. Wentworth as mother did.” Helena says with a smile.

“Now Kelly will get whats coming to her. But don’t get me wrong, I am so, so happy for Bette, I know how much she wanted this to happen, art is her passion and now that its happened, I’m looking forward to seeing her happy but I’m also looking forward to Bette destroying the ground under Kelly’s feet.”

“We all know Porter and we all know how much she loves you and Angie. Kelly will get the quickest boot to the arse before she can do anything else to threaten you.” Alice says with a smile.

“Here we are Bette..shameful, shameful, shameful.”

Kelly says aloud to herself as she looks at her computer screen to photos of Bette and her exposed under sheets.

“So you want me to upload these to the media, right now?”

“Yes.” Kelly nods her head. “Upload them now.”

“Ok, here we go Ms. Wentworth.”

“The press will go crazy for these, Ex. gallery owner and partnership of Wentworth Porter Gallery leaked nudes..” Kelly says laughing and grinning to herself.

Bette’s POV

“So, Bette?” Peggy says holding out her glass for another cheer.

We clink wine glasses and take a sip.

“Yes?” I now say with a smile.

“What’s the first thing you want to do?” Peggy asks me.

“Well, I want more then anything for Kelly to be gone. I want her out of my life for good.”

“And that’s what we are going to do but Bette.. what’s your actual first plan to do for this gallery? Let’s put Kelly aside for now.”
“God, thats a good question Peggy.” I say and take a pause as I look from the window to the busy street of Manhattan. “I want to advertise this. I want it to be known that this is now our gallery. I want to sign deals, I want to get this best artist’s collection in our gallery. I want this to be the beginning of something that goes down in the world of gallery business.” I chuckle. “This has been my dream for a long time, It never worked out the first time but this time I have strong hope that it will.”

“That’s a lot at once.”

“Well, let’s just say that I want it to be known first.”

“Your dedication fills me with joy, Bette.” 

…

Tina’s POV

“Uh, T..” Alice says looking at her phone with shock.

“Yeah? What is it?” I look at Alice and notice her facial expression. “What’s the matter, Al?”

“You might want to take a look at this.” Alice says holding out her phone towards me.
