Second Chance Chapter 45 - Amelia
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
Second Chance Chapter 46 - Mayson
Thank God, that Councilman Jordan is going to be okay. If I was a superstitious person, I would think this project is cursed. I am praying that what we did get a chance to present before the ambulance had to be called for James’ health emergency. The EMTs said it was an allergic reaction to something in his food. The only thing that he was allergic to was peanuts. The restaurant was advised of the special requirements on his food. I am starting to get even more suspicious of what’s been going on. I have everything Diane said in the back of my head about Amelia. The files disappearing was one thing, but was she truly capable of hurting someone. James Jordan could have died if Holden hadn’t noticed he wasn’t feeling good. I can’t imagine, no matter how mean she could be, that she could be capable of murder. I can only hope that the decision from the board will come quicker than two days. Seth had give Amelia the task of finding out what happened at the restaurant that could have conta
Second Chance Chapter 47 - Holden
I hated having to leave Mayson. Even though she was at her parents, I was still concerned for her safety. Also, the bed felt so cold and lonely without her. Tonight has made me come to a very important decision. I am going to ask Mayson to move in with me. She will probably come up with all sorts of reasons that she cannot move in. I need her with me. I want her with me. Bottom line she belongs with me. I know that. I will ask her to marry me again. I have to wait until the time is right. I don’t want to even think about spending the rest of my life without her. I think about what our lives would be like if we had married after we graduated high school. How many children would we have by now? Would we have moved back to Chance after I had graduated from Penn State? So many questions, and no answers. Eight years was stolen from us. We have the opportunity to start a life together. I don’t think we are that different from when we were eighteen. She is just as headstrong as ever and I
Second Chance Chapter 48 - Seth
Son of a bitch! I cannot believe what my IT guy just told me. He finally found out exactly what happened to the files on the server. If I didn’t have this is black and white in front of me, I would never believe it. Why would Amelia do this to me? She knows how important this company is to me and how much hard work has gone into getting the contract with the town. She could have easily cost us the entire thing. If we did not have Mayson on our team, we would have never gotten the approvals we needed. We are breaking ground in two days. That is enough stress because we have to put together a ceremony for local publicity. I don’t know how or if I am going to tell Holden. He needs to know because not only is he my business partner but he is my best friend. Since we are this close to getting the approval from the board, I can’t risk telling Holden or Mayson right now. I can’t confront Amelia either. She is acting pretty unstable over the last week or so. I don’t know how she is going to
Second Chance Chapter 49 - Mayson
It felt strange waking up in my old bed. I had become so used to sleeping next to Holden every night. I have slept by myself for so many years and now it’s a lonely feeling. I had missed my parents and I know I should be staying here more. The thought makes me a little sad. I love them dearly but I also love Holden. I need to figure out how to split my time between Holden’s house and my parent’s house. I was so thankful that Daddy has been given a clean bill of health and his cancer is in remission. The next morning I was so excited to see Holden. I did not realize how much I hated sleeping alone until he wasn’t with me last night. Of course Mama had breakfast ready and insisted we both sat down for a good meal. Holden was almost as excited for the breakfast as he was seeing me. When I get into my office, I see the voicemail light blinking on my phone. It’s pretty early for someone to have already left a message. It is probably a telemarketer or a wrong number. It will have to wait
Second Chance Chapter 50 - Seth (The Celebration)
It was hard for any of us to concentrate the rest of the day. We were so excited about getting approvals. I think that in the back of our minds we had expected to get turned down. I know that Holden was worried that if that would happen, Mayson may leave again. They were back together and probably more in love now than when we were teenagers. I guess he had a fear that something would happen that would break that bond again. Amelia’s childish antics sent Mayson packing the first time. The things that have happened since she has been back in town are much worse. I hope that she stays put this time. I don’t think Holden will survive if he loses her again. The zoning department sent over a courier with the permits. I think I am going to have them framed at this point. I do not even want a spec of dust on these documents. I have the permits laid out on my desk when Amelia walks in. She has been surprisingly nice lately and that has me a little worried. Most of the time when that happens
Second Chance Chapter 51 - Mayson
I have had enough with the bad things happening in this town. There is no way that someone from Chance would have spray painted my dad’s car. It was one thing for someone to mess with my car, but when they mess with my parents that’s a whole different story. If someone is pissed at me or about the project, they need to take up their grievances with the board. I am going to do what I can this weekend to put that aside. I am moving in with Holden this weekend. A couple of nights without him next to me was more than enough. I missed him so much. Holden gets to the house way too early for me. Daddy has been up since six which is normal for him. Unless he is sick my dad is up at the crack of dawn. I can’t function until I have had at least one cup of coffee. Mama is neither an early riser nor late sleeper. She lays in the bed for a little while after Daddy gets up so she can let him do his morning routine. “Good morning, sweetie. You learned the getting up early for Daddy. You know I n
Second Chance Chapter 52 - Holden (Ground Breaking)
Thankfully Councilman Jordan has no long effects from his allergic reaction. The restaurant has no idea what happened with the food. They always prepare it separately from other customers food. I am sure there is an explanation but the important thing is that James is okay. Seth had to get new copies of the permits done after he spilled coffee on them. It did not make them invalid due to this but he wants to frame them after everything we went through to get them. The mayor, Robert Hughes, took the podium for the opening ceremony. He is the longest running mayor int he town of Chance. His ancestors helped establish the town. His voice boomed over the speakers, filled with more enthusiasm than the town had seen in years. He talked about progress and prosperity, about how the building would bring generate extra revenue for Chance. It would put the town on the map again as a success. The memory of the flood was still in there, but its effects will be gone for good. Those in attenda
