As she continued to hesitate, he groaned, “C’mon you hot minx, I’m not as strong as I was, you know, and I can’t hold you up for much longer.”
She downed her drink even as she continued to protest, sputtering, and wiping off the drink that spilled out of her mouth with the back of her hand.
Tom shifted his hold on her and carried her on his shoulders like a sack of potatoes.
Juliana’s loud shrieks woke Bette, who saw the other brunette flailing her arms and legs, just before Tom dumped her into the waves that were pounding the beach.
She heard her phone ring again. Unknown number, it said. She hesitated before deciding to take the call.
“Bette? This is Miller.”
“Miller?!”
“I’m here in Hawaii. In Ko Olina’s marina. They said you rented a yacht, but they don’t know exactly where you went to. Said you’ll have the yacht for several more days yet?” Miller answered.
“What are you doing here in Hawaii?” Bette asked, completely surprised by everything that Tina’s friend said.
“I followed you here. No … not Jackson’s idea. I thought you needed someone to watch you.”
“What? Anyway, are you the one who’s been asking around about where I’m staying?” Bette responded quickly.
“Someone’s asking about where you’re staying?” Miller asked. Now she was the one who was surprised.
When Bette didn’t respond, Miller continued, “We can sort that out later. There’s something I need to tell you…” she paused.
“Wait a second, Bette, I’m getting a call. I think it’s from Jackson. That’s odd…”
“Why don’t you take it,” Bette suggested. “Call me after. Is this your new cell number?”
“Temporarily. I’ll explain when we talk later,” Miller answered briefly.

“Jackson?” Miller asked after she tapped on the phone to accept his call.
“Miller, there’s something that you should know. If your theory is true, that someone targeted Peter, then they may target Bette next because she’s inherited most of Peter’s assets, and her foundation is now the biggest shareholder of the gold mining concern that Peter’s family built. There are other shareholders, but her foundation now holds the bulk of the shares in that mining concern. Very, very few people know or have realized it, because Peter’s foundation, on paper, holds those shares. But Peter’s foundation’s assets have flowed to hers already,” Jackson explained quickly.

‘It could turn out to be a fatal mistake’ is the intriguing tempting sentence and then 21 pages later we’re still wondering!
Great Story over it’s many twists and turns and another great chapter. Thank you looking forward to 33.
Indeed still wondering about that sentence.
It is a very good and intriguing story, so many happens and it keeps you captivated to the end.
I like all appreciate the beauty of Brete, I like Tom drooling over Bette, Tina presume I like his love Bette, please keep writing and indulging with your stories, thank you very much!
I bet those fishing shops have nice little pointy knives…the kind you can strap to….well – where ever you can hide one ! The girls have to win ! Mr Green with the lead pipe in the library ! Get that snake off her path !
Love your story and look forward to every twist! I don’t even try to guess where you’re going, but just hang on for the bumpy ride. I’m probably in the minority, but I can’t stomach Tom! He is so inappropriate and disrespectful. A peeping Tom that doesn’t bother to hide in the bushes. At least Ashley called him out on his behavior. Cannot imagine Tina allowing him to be their donor and Bette allowing him to continually ogle her. Don’t imagine Bette would tolerate Miller acting that way towards Tina. Can’t wait for the next chapter.
Hi, am glad you are enjoying the story, and thanks for telling me what you think. Several thoughts in response: 1) the Bette in this storyline is an inveterate flirt, something that Tina has had problems with from the start ( see early chapters in “Let It Happen” and a few chapters in “Love Soul Heaven Hell), yet she believes she’s in control of it… we’ll see; 2) all the same, she is insanely devoted to Tina; 3) and Tina feels the same. But still, there was a point when they were questioning their expectations about the other (in their own ways; in “Let It Happen”). I have to say I once wrote out a couple of chapters that threw into that (crazy) mix an issue, sexual fluidity, that seems highly relevant to people. Or maybe fluidity expressed in various ways — one chapter that was going into “Let It Happen” after they broke up, and another for “Love Soul Heaven Hell” after the chapter on cheating), that explored those issues in an interlocking way. The chapters were interesting, and took the storyline in unexpected directions, but they each didn’t fit into the flow of the books, so I ended up shelving them. I may pick up on them again, because I think the topic is… well, topical!
In the meantime, I hope Tom doesn’t turn you completely off the rest of the story. (Maybe you can give him a break … don’t we all have those male friends who we know we won’t end up dating but like playing with, anyway?) :-) hope you enjoy the rest of the ride.
ok, from the fishing shop Miller gets a box cutter to be detected by Green’s detector which gives him a feeling of being clever. She also gets 2 or 3 large plastic cable ties, makes great restraints, some plastic fishing line that can be wrapped around the neck, easy and a lot of praying! Excellent chapter. Keep going!!!! PLEASE.

Tom play Bette, ok! He and his friend
only he does not bother to hide
Tina how much he deseha his wife.
Changing the subject I like the pace
