All Chapters of Second Chance: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I am so glad that Seth decided to meet me at the gym. I have to beat this frustration out of me. I am already taking my frustrations out on the weight machines but I need to throw some punches. That red headed vixen has got me all twisted up inside. I can’t figure out if I want to strangle her or make love to her. I was always supposed to be her first. I am sure she had her share of men pursuing her and that just makes me more angry. The need I have to possess her body is burning me up from the inside out. She was opening up to me today. I could see that fire in her eyes I had seen so many times when we were a couple. Those years may only be eight in real time, but I feel like an ocean of time is between us now. I am going to have to start all over again. What does that look like though? Maybe Seth can enlighten me. He is the biggest man whore I know but he may have some words of wisdom for me. “Holden, looks like you started without me. What’s going on my friend? You sounded pretty

Being from a small town always has its advantages. So when Mayson called the police because of an incident with her car, the officer that got the call, notified me as he was on his way. Daniel Riffer and I have gone way back. I got him out of trouble a few times when we were in school together. I helped get his life together enough so he could go to the police academy. He came to town middle way through high school to live with his grandparents. His parents were abusive and were drug addicts. He was a good guy that had been dealt a bad hand. I decided that the best way to deal with this was to not rush in like an ass, by screaming and yelling. Mayson didn’t need to see how angry I was that not only had someone damaged her car, but that she did not listen to me about staying late. I should have been watching the office, but when I had gotten home I had fallen asleep on the sofa watching football. This was my fault for not keeping an eye on her. She will be mine again and I could have

When I woke up this morning the sun seemed to be shining a little brighter. I am a hopeless romantic. I was always a reader of the happily ever after romance novels and that was what I always wanted for myself. That should have been my life eight years ago but evil stepped in and changed that. Evil will not win this time because I have the chance at happiness again. So many years wasted because of one persons lies and deception. I was not going to wait another minute without Holden. But first I needed to get up and go downstairs. Mama was still in need of answers. She deserved them. I feel like I deserted them when they needed me the most. I hope she will understand why I left. I worry I will no longer be Daddy’s baby girl because I know how much he missed me when I left. There is still a lot that I have to process about what happened that night. Now I have a new outlook but I am still going to take it slow with Holden. I cannot risk jumping headfirst and then getting hurt again.

Mayson is such a bitch. She has always had to ruin everything. I needed to get rid of her for good. It might be drastic, but at this point I am almost willing to do anything to get rid of her. I thought the slashed tires would scare her enough to stay out of the office. But of course, with my luck, she stays at the office more. I am so tired of hearing her voice and seeing her face around the office. I had to promise Seth to be nice to her, but it is getting harder and harder. This morning Seth and Holden came in later than usual. They both had these stupid grins on their faces when they walked in. It was like they had a secret to themselves. I didn’t like secrets. I was going to have to get the information out of Seth somehow. I am sure a quickie in the supply closet or a quick hand job at lunch time will loosen up his lips. He is so easy to manipulate with sex. If that didn’t work, I would get him drunk and he would definitely spill whatever he knows. “Amelia, honey, can you ord

The file disappearing from both the hard drive and the server just does not make sense. All three of us had a hand in checking to make sure everything was ready. But what happened in less than twelve hours could jeopardize the project starting time. Mayson is sick over what happened with the files. I tried to tell her that it was one of those things that happen, but she wouldn’t listen to me. She was working so hard right now to make up for losing all of the work. I don’t want to go tell her that there is no way for the presentation to be ready in time for the meeting. I am going to have to call Councilman Jordan and reschedule the meeting. He is going to be pissed, but what other choice do I have. I am going to wait as long as I can before I have to tell her. She is so focused right now and that is the only thing that is keeping her sane. I fear that if she stops right now, a panic attack will take her over. That’s something I don’t want anyone else to see. Seth is still in the se
