The chapter with Madison and Mirielle in one room would be interesting, very curious to that conversation and their plans. The continuation with Lucie and Michael too.
Another twist? Hope that doesn't involve poor Mortimer Hearst.

I have been contemplating just such a conversation but I'm not sure it can inhabit an entire chapter. We'll see...

Revealing Adelina's backstory gave this a big boost in quality. It went from good fetish flick to fine literature.
Author's Response:
Thank you very much for the compliment. It was my hope to try and provide reason and purpose to the actions of adelina.

Never saw Game of Thrones. Is it worth a watch?
If Helena is Nadia. That would be to messed up, very unlikely. It says Nadia is the grandmother of Mortimer Hearts. Helena's break with Mortimer feels to coincidental, Adelina could had a hand in that. And is Nadia still alive or not?
You can only feel bad for Adelina and have a feeling she will suffer another devestating blow if Nadia turned out to be alive. Whatever Adelina has planned, you just can't get angry about her actions. She now has to destroy the grandchild and great grandchildren of her beloved daugther. How can you punish the Hearst, without damaging your own family. Have a feeling there is a compromise and why she plays this complicated game. But this is for the writer to decide what Adelina finds the correct actions for this situation. It must be hard to write a character with much more life experience than yourself, Duggernaut. But she is totally believable, good job.
I like the set up. Rich Michael with not a care(maybe an act) in the world, now left with almost nothing and super vunerable and powerful people working against you. That is not an easy adjusment to make.
Can't wait for the next chapter. Want to know how much Madison exactly knows about this whole situation and why it is so important to Adelina for Lucie to experience that feeling with a shrunken person. Have a feeling she hopes that Lucie will mistreat Michael.
Author's Response:
I don't know yet whether to have adelina responsible for the break. The situation is certainlyly wrenching for adelina because of the mingled blood. She sees Klaus in Michael and Nadia in Madison and her heart is torn. More will be revealed in upcoming chapters of course and like my response to Tom it has taken a while to get to this point. I appreciate your continued support and feedback. I am pleased adelina is believable and not just crazy old bat. I can only imagine the horrors some of that generation experienced and have tried to give her history in a way that allows readers to empathize with her. The blood bond is sufficently distant that there is no taboo for Michael and lucie which begs the question how much does lucie know? We know Teodora pounced on the Hearst name. I am going to throw a twist in the next few chapter well, just because...

Another game of thrones reference at the end. Well done.
That was one awesome history lesson. It made sense and actually "connected the dots". I was going "ooohhhhhh" like 3 times this chapter. I mean, I was mind blown!
Just to clarify, is Helena, Nadia??
I can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response:
Helena and Nadia are not the same. Klaus sired a child off Nadia who turned out to be Mortimer’s father making Nadia Michael and Madison great grandmother. It has taken a while to get to this point but I hope it all makes sense

As expected. Nadia is mixed into the Hearst bloodline. Lucky for Michael, Lucie is a distant relative, so their fun can continue for now.
The Hearst family must know something about that clan of Adelina from the attempt by Sofia and co failed. I wonder of Nicolas passed that knowledge on to his son and from there to Mortimer.
It is al about what Adelina wants to do now. Must the whole Hearst family suffer or will Madison be spared. Clearly Madison doesn't know Adelina's intentions. Mirielle can be an interesting character in this. Have a feeling Theodora comes out of her curse to do some extra damage. ;)
Adelina is really in a difficult spot here, and her motives are so unclear. What has a woman who has been through al of this at that age have planned for a famliy that has her and her daughter's blood mixed into it and her mortal enemy's blood. Feelings of revenge will be stronger. What a hard life this woman had and still has.
This wasp's nest is a very dangerous place for a 3 inch Michael. ;)

More Teodora shortly...
