All Chapters of Second Chance Revenge : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Laura POV “Laura.” He slips an arm around me and tugs me up so I’m looking at him. “I have something to confess.”My lashes brush my cheek as I blink a couple of times. “Okay?”He inhales a large gulp of air. “The night you went out for Ava’s girls’ night before the wedding,” he starts. “When you were drunk, you mentioned a few things, including Kayleigh and your foster parents, but with nowhere near as much detail as you just explained to me.”A gash strikes my heart like a spear. No. No.“What? Why didn’t you tell me?”“Because you didn’t remember in the morning, and I wasn’t sure if it would trigger or upset you. I wanted you to do this by yourself. I didn’t feel like it was right to start meddling in something that meant a lot to you.” He places his hand on my face delicately. “I didn’t do it to keep it from you maliciously. I wanted you to have this moment like you did with Gemma just now. I’m sorry.”I stare at him. “It’s been ages since that night.”“I know.” He nods and c

Laura POV Kayleigh gasps and scolds him.“All of this seems strange and very out of character for you.”I narrowed my eyes on him. “I’m not the same person I was when I was eighteen, Danny. Things have changed. I have changed.”“Have you seen this house? It belongs to a billionaire,” he whispers under his breath. “You cannot tell me you just fell into his arms.”“Danny–”He leans impossibly closer. “Is this a cult? Because if it is, we can get you out.”My brows widen at his accusation. I watch him carefully as he pulls away and focuses on a spot on the floor. “Although I’ve seen some seriously messed-up documentaries, and they did not end well.”“This isn’t a cult. None of this is strange and not to me anyway. I get it from an outsider's point of view. But I didn’t have anywhere else to go, and I’ve found peace here. Without Maxwell, I probably would have been dead.”Maxwell’s shoulders tense. Despite us speaking quietly, his sensitive hearing means I’m probably shouting. I grimace

Laura POV A blush creeps up my neck until it reaches my face. “I was conscious of how loud I was being.”“Be as loud as you want.” His eyes glitter. “Trust me. I don’t mind.”I bury my head into his neck and chuckle softly. “Okay. Noted.”His hand smooths over my shoulder as I stare up at the ceiling. “Would you like to shower with me?”“With you?”“Yeah. I’d like to give you the proper aftercare.”I press a hand to the bed and sit up. “What’s that?”“Where I look after you when we’ve been intimate together.” He cups my cheek with his large hand. “We don’t have to shower together. I can do it here.”The stickiness between my legs is evident. “We could save water?”Maxwell beams at me with bright eyes. “If you want to, then we can.”He stands from the bed and holds out his hand. I take it and let him guide us to the en-suite. As soon as we’re inside, he turns on the waterfall shower and starts to strip himself of his boxers.I try my hardest not to look, but my wandering eyes are curi

Maxwell POV Laura’s strength over the last few weeks has improved vastly, and I can see the drive in her eyes when she joins in with pack training. At first, she was apprehensive, but now, she’s in her element.I stand back and watch as she runs through the trees. She digs her fingers into a large boulder before climbing to the top and jumping down onto a smaller rock. Her feet move quickly and every choice she makes is with precision.Sweat trickles down her back and off the edge of her jaw. I adore seeing her like this with focused eyes and eagerness to outdo herself from the last training session. She’s pushing herself out of her comfort zone and challenging her body with new skills.Kayden guides Laura through her obstacle course while encouraging her as she succeeds in every direction. She starts to climb a tree before swinging from a branch and landing directly in the middle of a stream. The water splashes up her legs, and she takes a large breath as her lips spread into a

Maxwell POV Those three words set my world alight in the best way. I squeeze her fingers before bringing them up to my lips for a kiss. “Good,” I whisper against her skin with a smile.Once we get closer to the pack house, I spot Evan sitting outside with his two guards. He’s staring down at the patio floor with his shoulders slumped. “There’s Evan,” Laura comments, spotting him at the same time. “How’s he settling in?”I shrug. “I don’t know.”Laura shoots me a look. “What do you mean you don’t know?”“I told the guards to look after him. I’ve got more important things to deal with.”She walks ahead of me. “Let’s invite him for lunch.”“Laura,” I call out to her as she looks over her shoulder at me.“I’m capable of making my own choices, Max,” she murmurs. “I owe him my life. I want to get to know him better.”Before I can protest, she approaches him and invites him inside for some food. At first, he’s concerned by the offer, but soon accepts and they walk into the kitchen.I follo
