“Right. So everything we talk about from now on about this case will be privileged,” he said, tapping her hand gently.
“Diane was the one who spoke with that woman first, you know” Bette started.
Tyler nodded. “A good friend of mine is her lawyer. Very good firm. I couldn’t take that case and be objective, Bette.”
“So far, there don’t seem to be any subjects in the government’s investigations into the crash, and the small explosion in the high-rise in Charlotte,” Bette continued.
“The one in Charlotte is plausibly traceable to an electrical explosion in a main electrical circuit. Just no evidence that anything’s been tampered with.”
“The men Mike, Tom, and Harry were chasing seemed to have simply vanished.”
“Same with the two men who abseiled down to the terrace of Paul’s penthouse. After pointing their weapons at Brom’s guy, they seemed to have gotten other instructions, and they then disappeared, pulled up by a hovering helicopter. Which then couldn’t be traced anywhere, after that.”
Tyler nodded, then opened a slim notebook, writing a few notes down. He grinned at Bette. Old school. No tablet here.
“Meanwhile, as far as Paul is concerned,” Bette added, “Once the auditor cleared the audit, the Canadian firm purchased his stake, and he repaid all his investors. So there’s no way to prove what the man on the phone told me, about Paul been running a pyramid scheme. Particularly after the Canadian firm was able to secure the permits needed to actually get the project moving.”
“And it turns out the man had extended the line of credit to Paul through a series of intermediate firms, so we couldn’t even trace what family finance firm the man was referring to. Or where it was located. The firm that the line of credit came from disappeared, and Paul had no way of finding out where, to whom he’d repay it.”
She blew a breath out, “The silver lining in this is Paul’s given up all his licenses. He’s completely focused on caring for Tina’s mom. And he’s parked the money he owes to the firm that just seems to have disappeared, after paying Brom a good enough sum to cover for everything that had happened. That still left a significant chunk left over from the line of credit, so it’s now in a plain old certificate of deposit. Albeit a huge one. Funds their IRA. No small irony there,” Bette said with a smile.

Well thankyou for this story, I love your writting, so please please start with the next story. Thx again for a happy ending.
You’ve always left me supportive comments, possibly from the first couple of chapters of “Let It Happen”, and I want to say “thank you,” too. I hope you enjoyed the journey. any suggestions to include in the arc of the next story? You’ve seen where they’ve been. Where should they go?
Oh, i’m a little sad that this amazing story is over.
But i’m very happy with the end.
Thank you so much for this incredible story, i hope you will write some more.
Thanks, Bibi. I was sad to draw things to a close, too, but this felt like the right moment. Let me know any thoughts of what makes sense for the next leg of this journey, please :-)
Sky, wonderful book! I am so glad Bette and Tina survived the attacks. Can’t wait for the next book so this mystery can be unraveled. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Radleks! I remember you loving the chapter that where I drew on Aristophanes, and I thought that I was lucky that people like you who were keeping watch over how their story was progressing were so appreciative of the nuances. Many thanks for staying with me all throughout! Any ideas for what should come next?
Absolutely wonderful story from start to end. I, too, look forward to your next installment.
Thanks Mamadoc! At some point it felt like the story was writing itself, so it felt wonderful to write it out, too, for you, and everyone. Would be happy to hear your thoughts on what’s next.
This was a great story, suspenseful, sexy and downright beautiful in parts. I suspect there’s more to tell with these characters, and I hope you’ll return soon with another story,
Thanks for writing and sharing with us. Take care! :D
Soleil, JP. That’s what it feels like when I see a comment from you. I know that there were times that I tried yours, and everyone else’ patience, particularly when the story took unexpected twists and turns. Hope you understood that that’s what the story required, at that point, and I wasn’t using a gimmick or anything. You have any thoughts on the framing of what’s next?
The twists and turns are what kept the story gripping, as well as the feeling that Bette and Tina had a persistent but unquantified threat to their safety despite Brom and Mike’s involvement. Even now, they’re not out of the woods.
Bette’s still got the various threads of a mystery on her hands, as well as a few more immediate concerns: Tina’s mother’s health, her own health, wanting to expand her family. What of Paul’s supposed pyramid scheme – how did it happen, and will Tina be able to mend that relationship while dealing with her mother’s illness? How did Scott come to be involved with the script treatments? Who were the unnamed assailants and who did they answer to? Who was ultimately pulling the strings? And more importantly, when will they strike again?
They’ve weathered the storm so far, and have come out of it stronger than ever, with their circle of friends widening yet growing closer, chief among them Jules! I didn’t get to see her do her Black Widow routine and take names. ;-)
I’d love to see more of them all… and I’m not the only one. Thanks again!
Thank you for bringing us on a wonderful journey of Bette and Tina’s world of glamor, business, intrigue and loving moments. I am sad to see this book to end. I hope you will come back with another book in this series as there are so many mysteries to solve.
You’re welcome! And THANK YOU for reading both books from beginning to end. Sorry that I brought things to a close at this point, but it felt like the right moment. So …. what do you think? Are there things that you’d be interested in seeing/reading about them?
YES!! Absolutely. Get started already.
Bravo, you kept our heroines safe. I love the loyalty of the old friends, Alice, Helena,Shane and the love by the new, Diane, Jules, Mike, Brom. Can Tyler find out who was behind the attacks? Seem like there more material for a sequel. You think? Thanks for taking the time to write and post this great story. I appreciate the effort and spirit that it takes to post. Thank you again.
Thank you for this wonderful story and the happy end.PPS
Thanks so much for the ride. It was a wonderful story. Hope to see you post another story soon.
What a beautiful and heart felt story so sad to see it end. Your writing is truly wonderful and romantic. Thank you and hope to get another story from you soon.
I loved the conclusion to this different kind of Tibette story. It seems that there is another book to be written and by the way were was our little angel Angie. Thank You for the adventure. It was so ironic that you used the same song to end this story of Tibette that ABC Family used at the wedding of another favorite couple Stef and Lena on The Fosters.
Really enjoyed your writing the next chapter is finding out who the mystery guy is? He disappeared after the failed attacks. Question is Bette and Tina still safe? Can Bette go back to old life as a gallerist does Tina get pregnant?
That was beautiful and awesome, love it
