"Thanks, Carlo," Sadie says. It's late when she gets back to the Estate. Bella doesn't know she's back yet.

"Of course, Madame," he answers, "Get some rest."

She gets off the exam table and walks back to her room. She discarded her bloody shirt already, so she walks back to her room in nothing but her pants, with her suspenders dangling, her sports bra, and a new wrap around her abdomen. She was hit on the hip in the fight, but it wasn't serious.

She walks into her room to find her girlfriend asleep in bed. She quickly discards her pants and gets in bed. Bella wakes a little and snuggles up to Sadie. The redhead winces a little at Bella's touch where she was hit, but she closes her eyes and lets herself drift off to sleep.

Sabrina and Gianna have been texting nonstop since they've been separated. Gianna has increasingly been thinking about leaving school. Especially after Bella told her that Sabrina would help with debt. She could go live with Sabrina in Greece.

Although she isn't sure, she doesn't want to rush in too quickly. Neither does Sabrina, but she also wants Gianna. She wants to lie with her again in bed and hold her.

Emma, now back in the United States, misses Jenna. She can't wait for the day she can bring her girlfriend back to her apartment. She checks her phone and sees almost a million notifications from Instagram. She looks at the comments.

emmasfans: does emma have a boyfriend/girlfriend?!?

katelynred: omg where are you????

lilaclover: the trust she has in her grip😅

dimmadome43: oh to be driving the motorcycle Emma rides on

hellokitty7: why is NO ONE talking about her grip on that person😅

emmamyersfavorite: so cute!

She smiles. She knows how dangerous it is to expose Jenna, but no one can tell who she is in the photo. The area they took the picture in, is secluded so no one will know. She didn't tag Jenna in the picture either so it's not like anyone will know.

She gets a text from Jenna.

Jenna: Did you post a picture of us on the motorcycle?

Emma: I did, but no one can tell it's u or where we are
Emma: I hope ur not mad
Emma: I just wanted to show you off
Emma: secretly of course

Jenna: I'm not mad
Jenna: i'm happy
Jenna: even if you can't tag me

Emma: what if you made a new instagram?
Emma: then I could tag you?

Jenna: i will make a new instagram, but it's too early to tag me

Emma: okay
Emma: i have to go now, ily

Jenna: love you too mí amor

Emma gets out of her bed and gets ready for the day. She gets ready to go set for a new movie she's filming. When she arrives on set, one of her costars comes running up to her.

"Are you going to tell me who this is?!?" she exclaims, holding up her phone with Emma's new phone.

Emma blushes.

"Are you dating someone?!?" the girl asks. Emma nods, "Who? Are they cute?"

"Yes, she's very cute," Emma answers, "But, Johnna, we're trying to keep our relationship on the down low right now."

Johnna, a brunette, nods, "Okay, I understand. Can I least know her name? Her first name?"

Emma's heart races. She pulls out her phone.
