Second Chance Chapter 64 - Amelia
How is Mayson still breathing? I know that I got interrupted when Holden came home, but I had done a lot of damage to her prior to that. But she is lying in a coma in the hospital instead of being in the ground. The police were so incompetent they couldn’t even keep Holden in jail. I had planned everything so perfectly and they screwed it up. I am going to have to make changes to my plan. Mayson is still going to have to die. I just have to figure out exactly how that is going to happen. She is never alone in the hospital. Either her parents are Holden are holding vigil at her bedside. I am pissed at Seth, because he has been visiting her as well. Maybe I can go in to see her. If I can be alone in her room long enough, maybe I can turn off her ventilator long enough to cause permanent damage. If the bitch won’t die, then maybe she can be in a coma for the rest of her life. That may be even a better plan. Instead of a quick end to her life, the suffering could last forever. Her paren

I believe that Mayson coming back to town was my second chance at love. There was nothing going to stand between the two of us now. She has to recover from this. I am worried because the doctor’s expected her to wake up by now. I have been by her side every day that she has been in the hospital. There should have been some improvement but she seems to be slipping backwards. Her oxygen levels are dropping and the doctor’s are concerned about possible brain damage. I will not believe God has brought her back to me to only take her away again. This has been taking a toll on her parents. I am worried about James more than anything. He was strong enough to kick cancer’s ass, but this may kill him instead. If something happens to Mayson, James will not survive that loss. I have asked the hospital to find whatever specialists they needed to help Mayson. I don’t care if it takes every last dime I have, I will find a way to bring her back. We have a life to live together. I have the weddin

It has been a hard few weeks since Mayson has been in the hospital. Holden had to spend a night in jail. The district attorney wanted him charged with assaulting Mayson and putting her in a coma. He even went so far as to trying to take out a charge of attempted murder, but the judge would not sign off on it. He stated there was no evidence of any previous violence in their relationship. He told the district attorney if he could bring concrete proof of malicious intent, he would reconsider the charge of attempted murder. It is still touch and go with her because she is still in a coma. Martha and James Cole are keeping a vigil at her side every day. They are letting Holden see her, thankfully. At first they would not let him stay unless one of them was there. They know that he would never do anything to hurt her, but they did not want to leave her side. They have always been extra protective of their baby girl. They finally let him spend alone time with her. Her mother almost had t

I could hear so many people in my room. I was trying my best to reach those voices. One of them was Holden. I had heard him everyday. I knew he was so worried about me. I will have to let him know how much I love him. I am feeling the weight holding me down just days ago start to lessen. I have to wake up, there is so much I still need to do. I am supposed to marry Holden. I want to spend the rest of my life with him. I am trying so hard to squeeze Holden’s hand. I want him to know that I am trying my best to come back to him With all of the tubes and things removed I felt like I was no longer chained down. I needed to try to fight this heaviness of my eyelids. I want and need to wake up. I don’t know how long I have been in what feels like a straight jacket, but I am ready to be released from this captivity. I can feel something on my hand. I can move my fingers just a little. It’s a hand. It’s too rough to be Mama’s hand. Maybe it’s Daddy or maybe it’s Holden. I am trying to mo

Mayson does not remember anything after being in front of the restaurant. That may be a good thing in regard to not having to deal with the trauma of the attack. The person that attacked her most likely thinks she will not recover and can’t identify him. If he finds out that she is awake, he may try to finish the job and take her life. I know how stubborn she can be, so I won’t be able to hide much from her. She will see it on my face if I am telling a lie. “Holden, can we start with you filling the blanks in for me now?” She pokes her lip out in a cute little pout. That is usually my weakness, but not this time. I need her to eat something and get some strength back before we start the questions. She has a lot of missing pieces that need to be filled in. One particular piece I want to talk to her mom about first. She may have said something about it during their conversation. “Martha, can I talk to you outside for a minute please.” I could tell she really did not want to leave Ma

I have done as Holden asked, I ate something. Well it was more like drinking something since the only thing they brought me was chicken broth. I would love to have a BLT (hold the T) sandwich from Parker’s. Maybe I can bribe Daddy later to get me one. “Since I asked my first question of twenty, nineteen more to go.” I laughed because I could see the frustration on everyone’s face. When I was a little girl I could ask questions with the best of them. Mama and Daddy thought for sure I would either be a detective or a reporter with all the questions I could come up with. “I will promise to not give all of you a hard time, at least for now. I want to know what happened to make me upset and walk out of the restaurant.” Holden and Mama looked at each other. Mama nodded her head. I am not sure what those two have going on with each other. They will get questioned later. “I had hoped to have dealt with this before now, but unfortunately there have been other more important things going on

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

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 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
