Chapter 37 - Amelia

Author: Dakota Lyons
last update Last Updated: 2024-08-27 21:00:20

How could this day start off so good and go to hell in just a matter of minutes? Seeing Holden and Mayson walking in together holding hands, makes my blood boil. She should be out of the door on her ass for the mess up with the files. Why can’t Holden see that it is all her fault? She has cost this company a lot of money. I hope I don’t have to get down on my knees with Councilman Jordan again to get Mayson thrown off the project. I am tired of having to give him blow jobs to get what I want. The thought of it makes me sick, but I will have to make that sacrifice if my plan is going to work.

There isn’t much work for me to do today, so I am getting bored. I guess I will go and find Seth. I can mess around with him until lunch time. When I walk into Seth’s office, he isn’t there. Where could he be? There are only so many places he could be. I didn’t see him leave, so he is in the building somewhere. I pass by Holden’s office and he has his back to the door working on the computer. I

    Now that we are back to the real world, the three of us have a lot of work to do. There is months worth of work that has to be recreated. I hate that this is going to set this project back. It is going to not only cost our company money, but there are going to be waiting to start work. If they do not want to wait until the project starts they will go to work elsewhere. I can’t blame them if they do, but it will result in having to hire other workers. I am hard at work when Seth walks into my office. By the look on his face, he is up to something. He always knows when someone needs some comedic relief. “So, Mayson, how are things going in here? You look a little worn out this morning.” He is so fishing for information, but I am sure that he has already figured out what happened this weekend. Holden had told me that Seth had sent him several texts over the weekend and he didn’t answer them. We were kind of preoccupied with very intense and mind blowing sex. “You are such a troubl

    Seth comes into my office and he looks like he is worn out and it’s almost noon. “Holden, can we take an early and long lunch. I need to get out of the office before I completely lose my shit. I need to talk bud, it’s getting a little too tense around here.” I wasn’t sure what exactly was going on. I know Mayson was working on the data this morning. “Okay, man, let me finish up here real quick. Go get us a booth in the back of Fred’s. Order our normal club sandwiches and fries. We can take as long as you need. I will be there in about fifteen minutes. I need to talk to you too.” Seth walked out and I finished up what I was doing. He was never this tense, so I needed to know what was going on. Before I left I went to sneak a kiss from Mayson. She looked upset and that of course gets me worried. “Baby, what’s wrong? I can tell my your face you are a little upset.” Just then I see tears forming in her eyes. I hurts my heart to see her upset or cry. I need to do what I can to make it

    I doubt I will ever know the real reason that Amelia hates me. That is something I let bother me to no end when I was in high school. It has gotten to me somewhat since I have been here. It took me a few days to get over the confrontation that happened in the bathroom. She never knew about my panic attacks and I didn’t want her to know. She would try to use that against me. When we would all double date, she never made me feel like I belonged. She viewed my class of people, poor is what she actually called it, not worthy of being around people that had money. There were things that I wished I could have that the other kids did, but I knew that my parents did the best that they could. I was taught at an early age to work for things I wanted, Amelia only took what she wanted and be damned with the consequences. Holden said that he was going to have a talk with her about her behavior towards me in the office. I told him not to because I think it will stir up more drama that we just don

    I was going to have to talk to Amelia today about what happened. I cannot tolerate this going on anymore. I protected Mayson when we were teenagers and I will protect her now. This animosity is also affecting the business. Seth and I had decided that it would be best to leave him out of the conversation. He would have to be on the receiving end of her wrath if things did not go well. Also, Mayson would not be in the building when we talked. It was going to be the two of us. That way Amelia had no back up with Seth and no one to lash out at, like she always does with Mayson. Seth and Mayson both left at four-thirty. I sent Amelia an email and asked her to stay back for a meeting with me. I was hesitant to do this today since it had started out so well this morning. Waking up next to Mayson this morning felt so right. I would have loved to have stayed in bed making love to her. I should be home with her right now, but I have to handle this situation before it gets more out of hand. I

    I am glad that Holden gave me a heads up that Amelia had left the office. I am sure she is going to be in rare form when she gets home. Now do I want to be here? The answer is a big NO. But it will be better if I am here, because instead of her calming down if I am not home just isn’t going to happen. If I am not there for her to vent to she will just get even angrier than she already is. If her behavior continues like this, she is going to have to go to a counselor or we are done. There is no way I am going to marry her and these issues continue. I saw my parents do nothing but fight and they ended up with separate lives. They stayed married because it would have cost them a small fortune to get a divorce. So dad had his women and mom slept around with both men and women. I just stayed in the basement of the house like it was my own apartment. It was easier to not see them. It was a God send when I was able to go to school at Penn State with Holden. Without Holden, I don’t know how I

    The clock is ticking for us to have these numbers to the Board of Supervisors and the Zoning Commissioner. We have been working what feels like non stop for the last two weeks. If this doesn’t get done we are screwed. The project could possibly go to another firm. The board has threatened to seek a firm from New York if we don’t meet this deadline. Seth is working on finalizing the interior design plans. Mayson is working on the internal architecture of the building. She wants to stay true to the architecture of some of the older buildings in the town. She has a vision that this building will fit in with the rest of the buildings instead of standing out. Mayson is very into the history of the town, she always has been. She could probably tell you more than the local historian could. She was always curious about anywhere she went. If we ever went on a school trip she would read everything she could get her hands on before the trip. She was a little book worm - a sexy little book worm

    Today is the day. We are finally going to be meeting with the Board of Supervisors and the Zoning Commissioner. Myself, Seth, and Mayson have put in long hours on very little sleep to get this presentation ready. The IT person Seth hired, still can’t figure out what happened to the files. That is a mystery for another day. We have run through this presentation so many times, I think we could do it in our sleep. This has to go well or we could lose the contract. The company will take a huge financial hit if that happens. Seth and I have been planning on this revenue to expand the business. We want to keep it here in Chance but want to branch out to some of the larger cities. With this large of a project in our portfolio we can expand and even have Mayson as a partner, if she will agree to it. I don’t want her to think I am offering her the job because were are a couple. Seth and I have both talked about this and believe that she will be an asset to the firm. Seth said he would deal w

    I know that James could have possibly died due to his allergic reaction, but he is just collateral damage in all of this. I have done my last sexual favor for him. I have gotten all of the information I have needed out of him. There is no way the firm will get this contract with this setback. This will surely get Mayson out of the way. Seth and Holden won’t need her around if this project falls through. With the bad luck this project has had, this will follow her no matter where she goes. The important thing is that she goes. If they happen to get the contract even after all of this, I will move onto the next phase of my plan - drive a permanent wedge between the two lovebirds. Mayson may have looked past Holden’s first betrayal or should I say supposed betrayal. I don’t think she will look past a second one. I will need to contact Jennifer pretty soon to see if she is up to help me out. I think she hates Mayson almost as much as I do. She will be a great asset to me. I have prepa

    I have had so much on my mind lately. Now that Mayson was out of the hospital and on the mend we could get the project back on track. Whenever I have talked to Holden, he said she was so ready to get back to work. The project has been on hold ever since Mayson’s attack. The investigation into Holden caused a couple of sponsors to pull their funding. Luckily the amount pulled wasn’t going to impact the overall budget. We are behind the eight ball on the time frame. It will take a miracle for the project to be completed on the original timeline. As soon as Holden gets back into the office, we both need to be making calls to contractors to get them back into town. We could not afford to pay contractors that were not working for over a month. Thankfully, this project isn’t the only thing that the firm has going on. There are a couple of projects in Clinton that have come in that have kept me busy. It has kept Amelia busy too, which keeps her calm. Ever since Mayson was attacked she’s act

  • Second Chance   Chapter 77 - Amelia

    That bitch just will not die. Mayson seems to have nine lives like a mangy cat. I am so over this whole thing. She should have stayed gone eight years ago. My life would not be so complicated if it were not for her. There is no way that I will be able to get close enough to her again to try to finally rid this world of her. After the incident in the hospital, she has not been without some sort of guard dog, Seth included. I had thought about slitting his throat in his sleep many times over the last couple of months because of Mayson. She sucked him into her perfect world just like everyone else. I can’t help but go back to the night of the attack and try to figure out what I did wrong. My footsteps sounded like thunder as I ran across the driveway behind the house. I could feel my heart pounding in my ears. I was so scared that someone was going to see me sneaking through the back yard. I almost could not catch my breath, but I had to keep moving. The stench of the roses that Ma

    I ran my hands all over her body, exploring every inch of her soft skin, I let my fingertips linger on the lacy edges of her lingerie. Mayson’s own hands began to work on the buttons of my shirt, one by one. I could not help but moan as she traced the lines of my abs with the tip of her nail. I quickly moved to the clasp of her bra, freeing her breasts with a gentle touch that sent a shiver down her spine. Our kisses grew deeper, more urgent, as we were both seeking to reconnect with the passion that we had lost. The fabric of our clothing seemed to melt away, leaving us both bare to each other's touch. Mayson’s breath hitched as I slid my hand down her back, cupping her ass and squeezing gently. She had to feel how hard I was pressing against her. She rocked her hips slightly, teasing me. I could see in her lidded eyes how turned on she was and she was enjoying the power she had over me. The air was charged with electricity as our eyes met. We were making a silent promise of a pa

    I really did not want to go lay down for a nap. I was tired of laying in a bed, but I could see how I really did not want to go lay down for a nap. I was tired of laying in a bed, but I could see how worried Holden was about me. He is blaming himself for what happened that night. I don’t blame him at all. I blame whoever walked into our house like they belonged and tried to take my life from me. I suppose it is a good idea to just leave Holden with his thoughts for now. If I could just remember something about that night after I got home. I know Mama said that I talked to her, but I don’t remember the whole conversation, just bits and pieces. What I really want is to be able to reconnect with Holden. Our love for each other has not diminished, but there is this cloud hanging over it because of what happened here. We need to find our way back to each other. It has been too long since we have laid in our bed together and I miss him so much. I want to feel his arms around me. Holde

    It felt so good to bring Mayson home to our house. These last few weeks of her being in the hospital has been hard. I felt so helpless that I was not able to protect her that night. I am still worried that she will not feel safe with me or safe in the house. I will build her a new house if she does not want to stay here. I want the home that we will spend our lives in, raise our children in to be a haven for her instead of a bad memory. I could see that she was a little unsteady on her feet when she got out of the car. I went over to help her. “Holden, I am so glad we are finally home. This was a wonderful and unexpected surprise.” She looked so happy, but I was still so worried about her. "Holden, what’s wrong? You are so quiet," Mayson whispered as she placed her hand on my cheek. I leaned into her touch. I have missed being like this with her, just the two of us. "Just thinking," I replied, trying to keep the emotion from my voice. The house looked the same as it had the nig

    I am so glad that I can finally get out of this hospital, I am going stir crazy. I have been here for over three weeks. I am ready to be in a comfortable bed. I hate that I have to go back to my parents, but the police have not released the house back to Holden yet. There is only one good thing about being in the hospital this long, it has given me time to think a lot of things over. It has also given me time to do some internet searching on Jennifer Martin. I need to know all that I can about her. She tried to ruin my romantic night with Holden, and she says she is carrying his baby. I am still not sure how I feel about the whole baby thing. It hurts my heart to think that I won’t be the one to give him his first child. I believe him, now, when he says that he always used protection during sex until we were together. Condoms can break and if she was on birth control that could fail as well. The reality is that I may have to face being a stepmother to Holden’s son or daughter. A

    Holden Today could be the make it or break it day for the company. Not only has there been quite a bit of business funds and personal funds been put into this project, but our reputation as well. Seth and I both have made huge sacrifices to get our business up and running from nothing. We struggled financially until H&S Designs was up and running. Seth and I are so pissed off that someone has tried to destroy everything that we have built. I truly believe this person is the same one that attacked Mayson. Both of us need ot sit down and try to figure out who would hate either one of us badly enough to do these things. They were willing to commit a murder to get to us. If Mayson hadn’t been so stubborn, she may not have made it through the attack. Before the meeting I am heading over to talk to Daniel. I need to have my house back. It should not still be considered a crime scene. There is no evidence showing that I did anything. Mayson should be coming home tomorrow to our home

  • Second Chance   Chapter 71 - Holden

    I have so much on my plate today that I do not even know where to start. Mayson is getting out of the hospital tomorrow. Seth and I have a meeting with the board after lunch to discuss the project. We are still in limbo as to whether or not it is going forward. I need to go to the police department and talk to Daniel to see if there are any new leads on Mayson’s case. He has gotten the police chief to agree to extra patrols at my house. The chief knows that I had nothing to do with Mayson’s attack. In a town as small as Chance, the rumor mill gets to buzzing. He cannot afford to lose the next election. Having an unsolved case involving a single woman almost killed in her own home does not look good on his resume. I was able to talk Seth into meeting me for breakfast at Fred’s this morning. We haven’t had the opportunity to eat together since before the project started. This has been a crazy few months. I never would have thought this town would have the same things going on that big

    My mother died about an hour after she gave me the letter. It was weighing heavy in my carryon bag. I could not open this letter alone. I had texted Holden before I boarded my flight that I needed to see him. Seth: Holden I am getting ready to head back home. Mom passed away. Need to see you ASAP Holden: Sorry man have a safe trip. No problem. Meet me at the Cole’s when you get back Seth: Why are you staying there? Holden: My house is still a crime scene. I think the DA is being an ass. Mayson woke up today Seth: That is awesome man. Give her love from me. See you when I get into town After all of what I have been through the last couple of days, I welcomed the good news of Mayson waking up. I hated to have to pull him away from being with her. Holden and I know what it is like to have a dysfunctional family. I don’t know how I would have survived college without Holden. When I arrived at the Cole’s house, Holden was sitting on the porch. He looked so happy. I env
