“Helena I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. I made some decisions last night that might affect our plans for traveling to New York together.”
“Is something wrong?”
“No nothing is wrong per se. I am still going to New York. It’s your travels that might change, however before we get into that can we make a deal?”
“I’m listening.”
“I want both of us to put down our defenses. I want us to have a candid conversation. A heart to heart if you will. What I have to say may be hurtful but I think it’s a long time coming.” Helena simply nodded her agreement and waited for her mother to go on.
“I made a decision last night not to sell this property as originally planned. I spoke to Bruce this morning. He’s working on the transfer of ownership. I want you to keep this house. It will be in your name to live in or dispose of as you see fit.”
“Why would you do that? I’ve already resigned myself to the fact that you want me to move to the United States as all our corporate focus will be headquartered there. I’ve done everything you’ve asked of me mother. What brought this on? We are scheduled to be on a flight to New York in a few hours.”
“I know dear but I need you to hear me out. I’ve been thinking about our last conversation. I realize that perhaps I haven’t been fair to you. I outlined all these expectations and made all these demands of you knowing full well that it went against my moral judgment. Sooner or later there would be consequences that I’m not prepared to accept.”
“I’m not sure what you mean mother? What is this about?”
“I want you to know that I love you Helena; never doubt that. You might not believe this but you are my heart. That is why it pains me so much that we have always been at odds with each other. It’s been that way since you were a little girl. I want to change that Helena. I just hope it’s not too late to have the kind of mother/daughter relationship that I’d envisioned when I first held you in my arms 30 years ago. I realize now that it will never happen unless I let you go to find your own way back. I can’t control who you are or what you will become. I need to accept that. You were such a beautiful baby Helena; dark curls, blue green eyes, pale skin. You are so much you’re your father in that regard. You’ve grown into an exceptionally beautiful woman Helena. Isee your external beauty but your inner beauty always eluded me. I think it was clouded by your behavior and I never bothered to look deep enough. Truth is I gave up on you when I couldn’t reach you. I was trying not to repeat the same mistake by forcing you into this life that I have mapped out for you but that isn’t the answer either. To be honest I think I’ve failed you. I failed you when you were a child and I’m failing you now. I don’t know what else I can do except to let you go.”

I dont trust Helena. I see trouble for Bette and Tina.
I am sure Helena will find a way to cause Bette some hell..Maybe not right now but eventually she will
Helena is so cold. She will cause trouble for all.
This Helena seems to be more than arrogant and selfish. She seems to be a sociopath. And one with money to wreak havoc on others w/o any consequences unless she runs out of funds. She’ll probably want to destroy Bette b/c of sheer jealousy that Bette has her mother’s heart. Sickos like Helena aren’t happy and don’t want others to be happy either.
Wow. it was a really deep section, full of emotions.
I think Pegg last attempt to get closer to her daughter was really sad.
Helena is a true sociopath Well that says it all. and unfortunately there is truth, the way she treated people well in the show …
very few writers were able to characterize her a kind and caring woman worthy of love, which is a pity.
I’m like the rest of us. I feel that Helena will be wrong Bette’s life. I hope we’re wrong!
I don’t for one minute believe Helena is just going to let Bette take what she believes is hers im sorry but look out bette Helena is going to be on the war path pps.
Phew! Peggy said everything I had to say for your daughter, and I don’t trust Helena, I don’t think she’s going to let Bette receive the attention of Peggy.
Grand chapter.
Gosh, you have written Helena just as she is, the cold-hearted, treacherous bitch that she has become. I can’t imagine anyone doing the things that Peggy enumerated and think that her father betrayed her by not destroying the documents. Maybe one day she will discover just what she has done to everyone, hopefully she will discover this before she is physically hurt or put in jail for being the miscreant she has become. Feel sorry for Peggy and anyone else that she becomes involved with in the future because she does not think she has done anything wrong to anyone and she will continue to live the way she been doing and continue to do the things to other women that she has in the past. Hopefully when she encounters Bette she will not be able to hurt her. This is a great story. Enjoying it.
I hate when Helena interfere with Bette and Tina relationship, but other than that she’s my next favorite I loovvveee Helena!
