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

I have been keeping a close eye on Amelia. She has been on her best behavior. She chewed my ass out when we got home after the ground breaking ceremony. She had walked in when Mayson was hugging me. I got in trouble not only for Mayson hugging me, but Amelia said I was hugging her back. It was a few days of tantrums and me buying gifts to try to pacify her. This was getting old. I have finally made the decision that marrying her would be the stupidest thing I have ever done, and I have done a lot of stupid things in my life. I was having a difficult time even trying to have sex with her. Her behavior and attitude lately has been a huge turnoff. Never thought the day would come with Seth Davis would have trouble getting hard. In college, it didn’t matter what the girl looked like or how drunk I was, I would be getting laid just about every night. Amelia is a beautiful girl on the outside which is a major turn on. Unfortunately, she is an ugly person on the inside which is the biggest

I wonder if Mayson remembers what the thirty-first of May is significant for. Eight years ago it was a Saturday night, one week before graduation. God has smiled down at me because it is on a Saturday night this year. I proposed eight years ago and I am going to propose again. I have only a few days to get all of my plans together. Mayson is at an alumni meeting in Arkansas so I have time to plan. My first stop is going to be her Mom and Dad’s house. Her mom had one special thing I needed for that night. Graduation Night It had been the best week of my life and the worst week at the same time. I had asked Mayson to marry me and she had said yes. Our plans were in place for us to get married right before my classes started at Penn State. She was going to enroll in courses at a local community college and start her studies in architecture. When she didn’t show up at the football field to leave town with me, my world shattered. Amelia had seen her leave town, but I couldn’t underst

Holden and I had been back together now for three months. He said he had a surprise for me and said he wanted me to get dressed up. I had no idea of where we were going so I settled on a simple white dress with small flowers on it. I always kept one in my wardrobe because it reminded me of the night that Holden had given me the engagement ring at Antonio’s in Clinton. It was the most romantic night we had ever had together. Antonio’s Restaurant (eight years ago) I could never imagine that Holden would have bought me an engagement ring. We had been saving up for the last year to pay for rent on the apartment we were going to live in while he was at Penn State. His family was well off, but his step father wouldn’t allow his mother to give him any extra money. He would save the money he earned working with my dad to get the things he really wanted. I was so proud of becoming his wife. It was the most beautiful ring that I had ever seen. It was a Keepsake Diamond setting. They didn

I feel like my world has just exploded. I knew that Jennifer did not take our break up well, but how could she tell such a lie. There is no way she is pregnant with my baby. She could be doing this just to get back at me for the breakup. Mayson had left the table and walked out of the entrance door. I needed to talk to her now and keep Jennifer away from her. I will deal with that lying bitch soon enough. I could tell by the look on her face that a panic attack was about to start. I would not let her be alone to deal with that. “Holden, let her go, you know that you need to be with me and this baby. This baby is our miracle to bring us back together. You have no business being with her, she betrayed you once and left you. She will do it again.” “What the actual fuck, Jennifer? You don’t know one thing about Mayson and you need to keep your opinions to yourself. We do not belong together. I belong with Mayson, and only her. Now get out of my way, I need to talk to her.” Jennifer l

I don’t remember a minute of the drive back to the house. I thanked the driver and walked up to the front door. I was hesitant to even walk inside. I had finally stopped crying. I am worried I may start all over again. I have so many questions that I do not know the answers to. Do I really want to move back to my parent’s house and not see Holden? I lived eight years without him before, but did I want to live that hollow life again. Since I had come back to town I feel like I am whole again. The piece that was missing from my heart was back. I am faced with the fact that Holden could have been lying to me about the use of protection. If that is so, can I forgive him. He has a baby on the way. I wanted to be the one that was carrying his first child, not some ex-girlfriend. This baby will bind him and Jennifer forever. Do I want to live my life as a third wheel? Will our children suffer because of this unplanned pregnancy? And the biggest question, do I still want to marry Holden?

The look on Mayson’s face was priceless when she walked into the kitchen. She had expected her beloved Holden, not the one person that utterly despises her. She says as soon as she sees me “What the hell are you doing here?” I wasn’t ready to have my conversation with her yet so I hit her with the closest thing I could reach - a rolling pin that was on the counter. She went down quickly. She wouldn’t be out long which was good. I had a lot I needed to tell her. Things I have been wanting to tell her for years. Then I will put the rest of my plan in place, that will get her out of my way permanently and Holden out of my way for a long time. With them out of the way, the project will have to stop. This town does not deserve to succeed. I wish I could burn it to the ground after all it has done to me. I will be long gone from this hell hole before anyone knows that I have been behind everything. The best part of the plan is that she won’t live long enough to tell anyone. Holden will go

Before heading home, I rode by The Cole’s house to see if Mayson’s car was there. I praised God when I saw that it wasn’t there. I have to hope though that she was at our house and had not left town again. I need her more than I think she realizes. I cannot live without her, not again. These last eight years have been empty without her. We belong together no matter what. I was so relieved to see her car still in the driveway of our house. I hope she is still awake. I really want to talk to her before this night is over. I hate how things were when she left Antonio’s. The hurt in her eyes ripped my heart out. I take in a deep breath before I open the door, because I am not sure what I might be walking into. Mayson is one of the sweetest people I know, but when she is mad, it can get ugly. The redheaded being hot headed saying is very true, especially when they are angry. She was pretty upset when she left the restaurant. Hopefully, she has cooled down some so we can have some type

Second Chance Chapter 78 - Seth
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
Second Chance Chapter 75 - Mayson
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
Second Chance Chapter 74 - Holden
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
Second Chance Chapter 73 - Mayson
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
Second Chance Chapter 72 - Project on the Line
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
Second Chance Chapter 70 - Seth
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
