Side Effects Chapter 13 – HELLO…, … … WHO IS IT?

The friendly conversation among the people in the dining room was interrupted by the sudden entrance of Bette and Tina who were hugging and kissing each other until they realized everybody was looking at them.
Kit: “hoorah, here come the just married couple…”
Tina and Bette were abruptly surrounded and greeted by their loved ones; they served themselves from the buffet and sat with the others. Tina used the time to talk to her mother.
Tina: “how did you sleep, mommy?”
Mani: “excellent, especially knowing you and Bette are finally together.”
Tina: “yes, I know, I feel very happy now that we are married…; mom, I need to ask you a question.”
Mani: “tell me, baby.”
Tina: “yesterday, after the wedding, Bette went to talk to some bodyguard…, later I saw you talking with the same one…, is that someone I know?”
Mani thought quickly and answered her daughter the best she could to hide the presence of her other daughter Louise.
Mani: “I’m not very sure who are you talking about, but everybody was very nice with me yesterday, so, before going to sleep I went to thanks everyone in the kitchen and perhaps some bodyguards also…, why are you asking?”
Tina: “hmm…, nothing in particular, just that I saw you were very affectionate when thanking that guard, I thought maybe it was an old acquaintance.”
Mani: “affectionate…? Really? Maybe I was a little tipsy with so many cocktails, not every day my daughter marries my favorite candidate for a daughter in law.”
Tina was confused, she was sure she didn’t imagine what she saw yesterday, yet, she hasn’t asked Bette and what about Maura and Jane.”
On the other side of the house
Tasha wasn’t very far from Alice, she was still in the house, hiding from her; she looked disheveled and showed eye bags that reveal her lack of sleep last night, and someone close to her, her police partner, knew that something very bad was upsetting her.
Duffy: “hey, Tasha, are you okay? You look like hell as if you haven’t slept in the last two days.”
Tasha: “I’m okay… everything is fine.”
Duffy: “oh…, good; you know, inside there is a pregnant lady that apparently is looking for something she has lost.”

Hi! Thanks for the new chapter!
And who is the “str”? Sister? I guess we need wait to see
Waiting for the next!
Hi Zhenya:
Well as Tina will say in the next chapter, ‘I don’t think str is for Streep because Bette doesn’t know Meryl Streep in person’; but you are in the right way.
Thanks for reading. See you next week.

You so know how I feel about cliffhangers!!!!:-)
Great update, dreadful cliffhanger, so please post again soon:-)
‘A little drama’ a big understatement!
PPS – love the story

Hi SG:
I’m sorry for the cliffhanger, but this is nothing in comparison to the cliffhanger of the next chapter; It’s not that I want to torment the readers…, is that this is the best way to cut a chapter and start fresh the next one, at least for me.
And yes, I intend to post soon, (at least that is my intention now).
Well, I didn’t want to alarm about the drama, but you’re right, more than one big drama is coming soon.
Thanks for reading and commenting.

Str? I also think it stands for sister, for Louise!
Some drama is about to start? I think it will be a drama in a big way.
Tina isn’t stupid and will be very pissed of that Bette, her mother and now Jane kept her in the dark. They are doing it to protect her, but man she will be so pissed!!!
So happy to read this story!!!
Thank you proteonomics for coming back to finish the story!
Hi Bibi:
Yes, you have no idea how Tina is going to react as soon as she finds out about her sister.
But take this into account, Louise knows her sister from a long time ago, she understands how Tina reacts; Tina isn’t able to measure her response when it is about her loved ones, she submitted to Don’s condition of working in Imhotep because she feared Don was going to hurt Bette, her family, and her own mother (that you will realize soon).
Yes, more than one drama is in the way.
Yes, as Zhenya, you are in the right way about str.
Thanks for reading and commenting my friend.

Proteonomics:
First of all, I really don’t like Louise hiding away from Tina. I knew that she’s trying to protect her sister and she didn’t mean to threaten Bette and Tina’s relationship, but it’s just too risky. At this moment they should stick together instead of creating any drama. I hope that Tina won’t get mad about Bette is hiding something from her, cause if my partner (wife, actually.) do something or hiding something such important things to me I will be furious. But in those circumstances, I really can’t be sure what will I do if I’m the one who is going to protect Tina. I can understand her decision not to let her sister involve in whatever she’s going to do, Tina has suffered enough, I believe let her sister know nothing is the best way to reduce the risk and keep her away from the danger. I am hoping that Louise is smart enough to know what’s she’s doing. Jane did say she won’t hesitate to arrest her.
As for Tasha’s dilemma, this happened in every place instead of just this situation. Sometimes taking care of a very close friend who happened to break up with his or her girlfriend. The caring, the secret sharing, the intimate contact somehow really did make people fall into it unconsciously. It’s an unexplainable feeling. You don’t even know whether he or she likes you or not, or do they really let go of their ex? It’s a tricky question that no one can explain and certainly, no one can help. You just stuck in these feelings and unable to get out.
I myself love the cliff hanger because this means there will be a new chapter I’m going to look forward to. Can’t wait for more, and please, click the publish button more often. This long waiting is killing me, but thanks for bringing back the story. Always good to reread it, some stories are worth to read again!
Great Chapter! And welcome back again! Always your biggest fan!

Hi CJ:
Yes, I don’t like either when people hide things, especially people that you love, but some times there is no other choice if you are afraid for the life of the loved ones.
Well I’m going to emphasize what Louise told to Jane, Louise believes she is going to die fighting her uncle because she knows the obsession of Don Kennard for her is sick and criminal, she wouldn’t allow being touched by him, and she will die before that happen; but she doesn’t want to ruin Tina’s life, she doesn’t want Tina close to her when the moment Louise face Don arrives; because, Tina will risk her life for hers. Louise knows Tina has suffered a lot, she wants to be remembered by her sister for the good moments they lived when children and not for the horror of being raped by her own uncle. And Louise is risking everything she has to take Don down,
Tasha situation is another drama and as you said, sometimes is unavoidable to fell in love when you are close to someone who you are consoling and taking care, and sometimes (perhaps most of the times) is hard to set the boundaries; sometimes require to be a very experimented person to do that, but in this case, the situation will produce a very hard outcome in the next two chapters (I won’t say another word about it)
CJ, I can’t click the publish button more than one time per week, but I’ll try to do it every week in the future.
And I’m your biggest fan too, waiting for your weekend chapter
Thanks for reading and commenting.
