Looks like they have more or less made their minds up it is all Dion's fault. I just hope Bobby's girlfriend tells the truth or Dion will be on death row. Now that granddaughter, Natasha. She needs a good lesson, one that Isobella might not get to see. She needs to leave her home to someone out of the family, or the cats home! I wouldn't even leave her a toilet roll! What a nasty bit of... whatever. Off to read the next part! This was great, Carol. Well done. :)) Sandra xx

Sandra, my dear, it appears by the number of reviews by you, I've taken up a large part of your day. I thank you and hope that you found it interesting enough. Yes, Isabella knows that nothing will ever really change and she needs to accept that the reality is they don't care except when they need her.
Smiles, Carol
Comment from Julie Helms
Natasha would be out of my will lickety split after that snotty exchange!
Poor Dion, not only at death's door, but with his reputation tanking.
Good action and well-done dialogue! Julie

Unfortunately, my granddaughter believes she can talk anyway she pleases and it's justified. The last time was the limit...she told her mother some ugly lies. Now none of us are speaking. You can tell where I draw my characters from...unfortunately.

Ughh, family drama. I have it in spades with my extended family. So I understand. I am sorry to hear that. It does explain how you've been able to paint such a vivid and believable picture though.

Unfortunately, you are right!

If it makes you feel any better, or less alone in the situation, I have an aunt who I always called my favorite aunt. She is the one that developed my love for art history and why I frequently use famous paintings to write about here. She got involved in a really nasty family drama, that did not involve me, that took years to settle in the court system. In her final move, she filed a lawsuit in which I was named, for $3 billion in damages. Yes, that was billion with a B. The judge basically laughed it out of court. But that was 30 years ago and I haven't seen her since. It's a tragedy when families get splintered that way. I hope writing about it helps you with dealing with it. It certainly will add authenticity to your writing. Thank you so much for sharing this personal pain. God bless! Julie

Thank you, Julie...Of course, this story is fictional, but the drama and the characters come from personal experience. I too believe that's why this story is flowing so quickly from me...a big piece of therapy that I needed.
Smiles and hugs, Carol
Comment from Carol Clark2
Great chapter! I just hope Dion can prove his innocence in all of this. Natasha and her friends made a mess of Isabella's home, and then she wishes her dead. What an insolent kid! I hope Isabella writes her out of her will. Smiles & hugs.

It seems I have several of them in our family bloodline. Young people who believe they are entitled and convinced I will never turn my back. So far they are winning. But this story is my therapy. A story of fiction entwined with their real characters. Maybe that's why they seem so real.
Smiles and hugs, Carol
Comment from Wendy G
It doesn't look good for Dion, but of course Austin doesn't know the drugs were planted by Bobby. As for Natasha ... words don't describe her. Rude, belligerent, cruel, greedy, foolish, incnsiderate, hateful little piece of work. Can't believe she could turn out that way. Powerful writing. Sorry, no sixes left.

Good morning, Wendy... The sad part of this story is that I'm drawing from many family members, not just one. The party came from one granddaughter celebrating her 21st birthday while I was out of town. My son caught her and took pictures. Needless to say, I was devastated and she felt no remorse. The nasty Natasha is an entirely different person...and too real at times.
Hugs, Carol
Comment from Mrs. KT
Another exceptional chapter, Carol, and we both know that it is deserving of more than the five stars I have affixed it.
Paddy's and Amanda's dialogue = labor of love! Kudos!
I would have had a heart attack had I come home to find the mess that Natasha and Co. left!
So very much "enjoyed!"
Thank you for sharing!
Fondly,
diane

Good morning, Diane..... I was out of town when my son discovered my granddaughter celebrating her 21st birthday in my home. I only saw the pictures but it was more than enough. I'm learning that my family believe that I will always forgive them for anything they do and they never consider the consequences.
Smiles, Carol
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
Isabella needs to let her granddaughter know she has disinherited her. Natasha is a really creepy kid. Austin tells the officer what he knows, not what he thinks. Unfortunately, the baggies of white stuff were in Dion's car, just like Bobby wanted them to be found. Too bad he's not around to gloat. Not! I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

Thanks Carol.... And the twisted roads continue with so many lies affecting the lives of others. Isabella tells herself that family must stick together, but knows somehow she's failed to do that with her own. Thank you for enjoying this chapter.
Smiles, Carol
Comment from LJbutterfly
I feel so bad for Isabella. She has a rotten granddaughter. I remember how the story began. Natasha knocked her grandmother down. Karma came to visit Bobby. Natasha had better be careful.
Your storytelling is so perfect, that all the characters seem like real people we know. Also, there is so much description and action that this story would work well on a big screen. I can't wait to see what the next chapter will bring.

Oh, Lorraine, you flatter me and I feel blessed. Yes, at times, the characters become too real even for me. I'm afraid if my family ever read this particular story, world war three would erupt. But no worries, they haven't read any of the 800 plus I've written in the past. LOL Thank you so much.
Smiles, Carol
Comment from BethShelby
If I was Isabel, I'd be rewriting my will and making she Natasha would never get it. If her mother told her that she'd be out of the will too. She didn't teach her daughter to have respect for her grandmother. Gabbt sounds like someone who's gotten a bad deal in life. Now that her father is gone, who will loook after her. I guess she wonder have tor worry about his anger at her being pregant and tying to kill the body. I hope Dian will be able to prove his innocense.

I, too, ponder about that will. It's hard when your heart says to love your flesh and blood regardless, but your brain screams at you to walk away and enjoy what time you have left. Sometimes this story gets too close. Enough!
Have a great day! Smiles and hugs, Carol
Comment from lyenochka
I think Austin is my favorite character. He has a level head on his shoulders and he is not quick to judge and even saved Dion's life. But those teenagers are pretty horrible. Natasha was just despicable. I guess this was what led up to Isabella fainting or was that another argument that led to the hospitalization at the beginning of the book?

Good morning, Helen.... I believe I love the "Bear" as well. He's a straight shooter and is only giving the facts as he saw them. Unfortunately, this particular confrontation with Natasha is only the beginning......
Smiles, Carol
Comment from royowen
It looks like pressure had got to Natasha and the dam burst finally and paddy had come back at that stage and found that Natasha was in a state. He told her about the accident, and that Bobby was dear, hiscgirkfruenninnan induced coma, and Dion critical, Gabby must be told! Well done Carol, good job, blessings Roy

Good morning, Roy! Unfortunately, Natasha hasn't learned anything from the experience and won't because someone is always covering for her. Thank yu for the kind review.
Smiles, Carol
