Chapter Fifty-One

Alice’s POV

“Damn it.” I curse.

“We tried, Alice.” Helena says.

“Our only chance to get some kind of help is now gone.” I say.

“Mother and Bette are on the way. Tina told us they shouldn’t be much longer. We have to have faith. I know mother, she is trying her hardest to hurry everything as fast as they can go.”

“This is all my fault.” I say running my right hand through my hair. “It was my idea. My plan.” I sigh. “Now look where we are.”

“It wasn’t your fault.” Helena says to me. “We all agreed to do this.”
“We have to try something else. I have to think of something else. I put us here, I need to get us out.”

“Alice, there is nothing you can possibly do.”

“There has to be something.”

“Our only possible plan just went to blooming hell.”

Tina’s POV

“All we can do now is wait for Bette, baby girl.”

I sit here against the wall.

“This is mother fucking bull shit. I knew we shouldn’t have trusted that conniving bitch.”

“I feel like we have no other choice but to play by their cards. We have no other option but to do whatever they say.” I say.

“Baby girl, you know Bette is in the biggest rush of her life right now to get to you and to get to us.”

“He chose Kelly’s offer.”

“You know Peggy is a powerful woman. She’ll make sure he takes her offer.”

I run my hands through my hair and keep them there.

“This is my stupid fault.” I say. “I shouldn’t have agreed to do this.” I look up at Kit. “I should have listened to Bette.”

“This still could have happened with Bette here, baby girl.”

“No, no it wouldn’t have.”

“You don’t know that.”

“I do.”

“Bette would have had Peggy’s men.”

“Bette’s gonna be here soon and she’s gonna get us outta this.”

Bette’s POV

“We are now landing. There is a vehicle waiting right there to get you to your destination.”

“Perfect. Get this laptop on board with us too. We need to be there when he calls back.”

“There is already a computer in the vehicle set up with your desktop, whenever he calls you’ll get it through that computer now. But as of right now, there has been no calls.”
