His Second Chance Mate 64
DENVERAfter rounds of brainstorming, I had to come up with a plan. Sending Bella another threatening message seemed like my best bet. I carefully scanned the area for a perfect time to plant the note. I had seen Bella running around with the kids. When I saw them going towards the garden. I quickly dropped the note and crawled away, briskly.Just as I expected, the twins saw the note and took it to Bella. Things were going my way. I crouched beside a flower bed to get clearer view of Bella's reaction. With the content of the note, I expected her to pack her kids and leave immediately.I watched as Bella unfolded the note hurriedly. She became apprehensive and looked around. It was just as I expected. What I didn't expect was that she slumped after reading the note.I gasped.Denver! What have you done? I thought to myself.With a sense of panic and concern, I rushed out of my hiding and ran to meet Bella. I shook her vigorously, “Bella, Bella!” I called in a throaty whisper.Fear st

BELLAThe threats didn't stop. I hated how I felt every time I got those messages. I kept receiving threats after threats. Someone wanted me out of the palace by all means. The security in the palace was upgraded and it would take some magical force for anyone to penetrate the palace to harm us.The good thing was I didn't bear the burden alone. Trevor insisted that I told him about every threat I got. He wanted to walk every step with me. I gave him every note and showed him every text. He collected them and used them for an investigation on the matter. Trevor was bent on finding the source of the whole drama.He wanted the culprit to play into his hands. Then there would be no way of escape.***I was working on a sketch when Trevor walked into my room. He was beaming with smiles, making me wonder what he was up to. Trevor and I had been able to create a balance over time. We understood each other better. We ensured we were available for each other and our kids as well.He walked up

DENVERI got fully involved in the planning process of the party. How else was I supposed to know when to pull some strings in favor of Mara's plan? There was a lot of running around in the palace. I saw that Bella and Trevor were doing their best to have an amazing celebration for their kids. I hated that I had to contribute to ruining their effort.Even though I wasn't in my best mood, I couldn’t avoid Bella and Trevor. I had to be involved in what they were doing. I helped with the arrangement and finishing touches for the party. However, I was uncomfortable. If Mara's idea pulled through this time, it would be a very sad occurrence in the palace.Although it meant I could finally rest, I wasn't ready to go that route.I caught myself pacing in agitation. Bella must have noticed my uneasiness. She walked up to me and placed her hand on my shoulder. I turned sharply to see who it was. A sigh escaped my throat as I saw her standing beside me.She held my hand and pulled me into a co

BELLAThe birthday party was going on smoothly. I felt content by how we were able to put a smile on the face of people. They ate, drank and were merry. The twins on the other hand were extremely happy.It was time for them to give a speech of appreciation to the people. Cara and Craig were beaming with smiles and so was I. I stood behind them, my hands on their shoulders. Trevor on the other hand was occupied in a conversation with his friends.He turned and winked at me when the twins began speaking. I laughed as my heart swelled with pride.The party was not a bad idea after all, I thought.But that was the end of it. Within a twinkle of an eye, everything was ruined.The party that had been going so well became a shooting scene. I had never been so shocked in my entire life. It felt like I had tasted death. The sight of Denver shielding me with his body just couldn't leave my mind. I thought of what would have happened if Denver had not been there.Trevor looked at me. Our eyes me

MARAI couldn't understand what exactly was going on. It was either Denver was for me or against me. I made up my mind to find out what exactly he was up to. I had gotten information from my ally that Denver was rushed to the hospital immediately after getting hit by the bullet.I got on a brown woolen coat and matching shoes. The muffler on my neck was high enough to shield my chin. I had on a pair of thick dark shades.I went into the clinic with anger against Denver. He’d better have a good explanation waiting for me, or be ready to face my wrath.I peeped through the window and saw Denver was alone. With purposeful strides I walked into the ward. He turned slowly to see who it was. He jolted as he saw me standing akimbo. There was so much hate in my heart and eyes. In that moment, I just wanted to strangle him.“Mara,” he mumbled.I scowled at him, “Look what you've done to yourself,” I began.“Please, Mara. I am not in the mood for this. If you are here to cast blame then…”He w

DENVERI lay in the bed, my thoughts spiralling. Mara’s words echoed in my ears. I knew Mara. I knew how dangerous she could be. If she saw me as a threat, then she would take me out. I decided to reach out to her.I placed a call to Mara. I thought of ways to set things right with her. She finally took my call. Her voice was laced with anger and bitterness as she spoke to me. I resorted to apologies. I told her I didn't know why I behave the way I did.I blamed my actions on the drug I took. I told her it made me hyper and that was why I spoke rashly to her. It took a long time for Mara to accept what I was saying. I figured another way to pacify her, “I have a plan now, Mara. I have come up with a better way to take out Bella,” I said and waited for a response.She was mute for a while, “Some plan you'll ruin again?” she asked.Mara’s disgust was palpable.She wasn't one to let go of a fault so easily. I sighed and continued, “I have no intention of ruining the plan. I know I have

BELLAAfter the shooting incident, I had very high regards for Denver. I appreciated the fact that he risked his safety and took a bullet for me. But I just couldn't get my mind off what he said said at the clinic. First he tried to kiss me. Before I could get over that, he confessed he had feelings for me.I caught myself thinking about it severally. I tried to wave it off but somehow it didn't sit well with me. He had said we didn't have to dwell on it. And I seriously hoped he meant that. He was Trevor's best friend. He could not possibly expect that anything could happen between us.It was not long before he got discharged from the clinic. I felt a lot better knowing he did not sustain any internal injuries. We welcomed him back to the palace. Everyone had their good wishes for him. We did all we could to ensure he felt loved and welcomed.I tried to spend more time with Denver. After his confession, I was more cautious around him. Going by his words, I knew he was in love with me
