His Second Chance Mate 24: His timely intervention
BELLAI was fast adjusting to life in Trevor's mansion. Except that it was quite weird hearing Cara and Craig refer to Trevor as “Daddy.” Trust Trevor to use his charms in the right proportion. He spent a lot of time with them.I was grateful they now had a father figure in their lives.I didn't think I would notice Trevor's absence. I told myself I would be too busy with work and I wouldn't even know he wasn't there.But I found myself missing his encompassing presence in my room while I worked. I missed his compliments and stress relief jokes. Cara and Craig also did not let me have peace, it was all “Daddy this, daddy that.”With Trevor away, I decided to explore different parts of the palace. I took longer walks around and interacted more with the palace staff. It wasn't really easy to communicate with them because they were unwelcoming in a way, I couldn't really place a finger on it.I even thought I was just overthinking.However, I felt challenged a night ago. I asked one of t
His Second Chance Mate 25: Ex
TREVORAs I held Bella in my arms, I knew I would never have forgiven myself if anything had happened to her. I wanted more than ever to protect her from any form of danger. After hugging her for a while, I held her away from my body so I could observe her better in case of any hurt.I ran my finger along her jaw, still worried about her, “I'm really sorry, I'm sorry about his misbehavior,” I said as we walked into the house.I heard footsteps padding from the hallway, I braced myself for the biggest hugs of my life. They came at me, “Daddy!” they called in unison as they rushed into my arms.I planted kisses on their faces, as they giggled with laughter. I held them close to me, “I missed my jewels, so much. Did you miss me?” I asked, looking into their faces.They both nodded, “We missed you!” they chorused.“Good. I got you loads of goodies,” I said, causing them to jump on me even more.Seeing them brought me so much joy.After they ran off, I turned to Bella, “I'll just freshen u
His Second Chance Mate 26: Ex from hell

To crumble what I managed to create with Bella? What was her aim exactly?What a wrong time to have Mara’s drama!, I thought to myself.For goodness sake, I already moved on with my life. It was bad enough that she ditched me, throwing me into a state of panic. Now I just picked up the pieces, making something beautiful out of it, then boom! Mara appears.As soon as Bella marched out in anger, she threw herself at me. I was supposed to go after Bella and tell talk to her, but not when Mara was all over me, touching my beard, my shoulders, my chest.

His Second Chance Mate 27: Back in her life

I thought of the pain I went through because of Mara and anger welled up in me.Was Mara some sort of eternal foe? Why on earth was she in my face again? I had moved on from the past, embracing a new life and an ugly demon from the past shows up?Didn't she already break up with Trevor? Or was I missing something? My head was filled with different thoughts.How can any sane adult just barge in on people and start acting without control? I was heavily infuriated by Mara’s arrival and even more so because Trevor seemed captured by her display.As if that was not enough, I saw her kiss Trevor! Oh no! I rushed into my room and slammed the door.I held my head in my hand as I paced back and forth in my room. I was mad at Trevor for just standing there as if he had been bewitched. Just then I heard knocks, “Bella! Bella, please let me in,'' he called.I didn't respond, then he contin
His Second Chance Mate 28: How Dare You?
TREVORI thought of everything Mara said and I came to a conclusion that she was just trying to manipulate me into taking her back.I thought of the way she left me, her attitude before and after the breakup and I knew she broke up with me because she wanted to. The Mara I knew would not end a relationship because her aunt was in a crisis. She was too selfish to please others at her own expense.In fact, after she left, there were rumors that she was seeing someone else. There were pictures of her flying around with another guy, she definitely ditched me for her own selfish reasons. And she had the guts to return to my house, telling me I should know better.I made up my mind to put her in her place, I wasn't going to let her ruin what I was building with Bella.I invited Bella to breakfast, hoping we could have a good time and I could start the day on a good note with her. Then Mara appeared, throwing her arrogant self around. I hoped she would just fool around and not confront anyon
His Second Chance Mate 29: Stupid Move
MARAGetting to Trevor's mansion after leaving for some months needed a grand entrance and I made sure to have that. I felt good being able to disrupt the peace of the palace. I mean, how would a whole Mara just appear without any form of announcement? I couldn't allow that for myself.I did my best on arrival. I fed Trevor a good story to cover for my cold and sudden break up. He seemed to swallow all I said. There were a few doubts here and there, but I was able to brainwash him, or so I thought.By morning, Trevor was a different person. The Trevor I used to know would do anything to keep me by his side. Infact, my return was supposed to be a thing of joy for him but to my utmost amusement, he now had a second chance mate, Bella! Of all people.I was in rivalry with Bella?

What the hell did she do
His Second Chance Mate 30: I’ll Stay
BELLAMara’s confession pierced through my heart like a sharp knife. I felt my willpower drain immediately.Mara was pregnant for Trevor?I could feel my head turning. I just knew at that point that I couldn't take it anymore. I had reached the peak of this saga. Whatever they liked, they should do with themselves, I was done.I went into my room, feeling both angry and depressed. If Mara was pregnant, then what was I doing here? She was back for Trevor, so he didn't need a second chance mate. He was done using me to save face, I should as well pack my things and leave with my kids.I took out my luggage and started folding my clothes. A flood of thoughts ran through my head. I was even too confused to fight. Just last night, Trevor and I were having a swell time at dinner. Everything just turned upside down on Mara’s arrival, now she was pregnant?How bad can it get in this palace, anyway ? I didn't want to come here in the first place. I was forced to stay.

I didn't want to imagine what would be done to me if they found out I pinned a false pregnancy on the Alpha.Now I had to find proof of pregnancy.I was confused on how to go about it. I knew Trevor, he could show up at anytime demanding proof, hence, I had to be ready. I had to be two steps ahead of him or everything would be exposed soon.I picked up my phone and dialed a number.
