“Yes. She was a successful movie executive, until she gave it up to start our family. We lost the first baby to miscarriage.”
“I’m very sorry Bette, but that’s just the kind of knowledge Helena will use to draw her in. If Tina ever wants to go back to Hollywood, she’ll be the head of a ready-made production company. Helena is in the business of making people’s dreams come true, then she coops them and makes them her own. That’s how I ended up with her. My first play had just debuted at PS 122. The Voice gave it a rave and this person shows up and underwrites the entire run of the show. Next thing you know I’ve got my own Theatre Company and I’m living in a $5M dollar loft in Tribeca.”
“And starting a family.” Bette surmised.
“Yeah. She’d never even thought about kids, but it was a dream of mine. Now with the force of billions of dollars behind her she’s using every underhanded tactic to take my children from me. She doesn’t even want them, but she knows it would destroy me to lose them.”

Winnie and Bette took a break to check on the kids and freshen their coffee. The kids had tired of coloring, so Bette found a Disney movie for them to watch. With the kids settled in the living room in front of the big screen, the adults retreated to the kitchen; now sitting at the breakfast table each with a fresh cup of coffee they resumed the conversation.
“I’m here to ask for your help Bette”
“What can I do?”
“I’d like you to be a character witness against her. We’ve got a court hearing in six weeks.”
“You want me to appear in court?”
“Yes.”
“Jesus Winnie, I don’t know. I mean I really need to think about it.”
“Look, I understand if you don’t want to.”
“No. It’s not that I don’t want to. Believe me I would love nothing more than to stand up in court and say what I think of her but if she’s as sociopathic as we both know she is … what if she retaliates?”
“Bette she’s already retaliating, that’s why I think you could use this opportunity to fight back, and maybe keep your job.”

Thank you for the chapter!
it’s hard to comment after most ridiculous final of the most ridiculous final season ever (yeah, i’m talking about final of 8th season GoT). And i must say if we can compare with this disaster – final season of our TLW was not so bad:)
so, after explanation about time where this chapter take place – i’m not confuce anymore.
Zhenya – sorry you were disappointed with GoT finale. I’m one of very few people that never watched the show in the ten years it was on, so I can’t comment.
Thanks for reading and glad the explanation lessened any confusion on the timeline. I’m back to the present; just wanted to give some background.
Hi Bat,
Interesting chapter and a good eye opener to Helena’s character, just because she has money she thinks she can do anything and destroy innocent people.
She is a pure evil and bitch, unfit as mother and i am glad that Winnie has the support of Bette to win the custody battle.
The scene between Helena and Winnie was also a eye opening for Tina and the first step in admitting Bette as the mother of her child.
I look forward to the next chapter!
Bibi28. Helena certainly did exhibit a pattern of behaviors in the way she approached her relationships. I didn’t care for her character on the show, but I think she helped Bette and Tina’s relationship to be better the third time around. Tina was less inhibited and Bette less controlling.
