CHAPTER 62-IVY
Klaira Blains[NOTE: The Maple Syrup Mafia is real. It’s a Canadian tongue-in-cheek description of the “Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Growers.” They run three-quarters of all maple syrup production in the world. They set prices and hide large-scale maple syrup thefts. These are the people who push for quality control on bootleg maple syrup. (table syrup (corn syrup or liquid sugar) flavoured to taste like maple syrup) Some less reputable companies sell this claiming it’s maple syrup at maple syrup prices. (False advertising.) Yes, dear reader. Italians have olive oil scandals. Canadians have maple syrup scandals. Only in Canada, can 50,000 litres of maple syrup disappear. BTW they never found it. Really! Google it!]

“Dad? Are you ready to help me get ready?” Geoff poked his head into the bathroom while Heath prepared to shave. “I just need to shave, and I’ll be with you. Come in.” His dad said. He smiled at him before he rubbed an electric razor over his face. “Dad, you do that every day.” Geoff asked. Geoff’s look of wonder and horror amused his father. His mom didn’t do that. Was it a guy thing? Geoff didn’t know about it. “Yes, and when you’re older, you will, too. It’s part of being a man.” His dad found his question entertaining and patted his head. “Do I have to?” Geoff was uncertain about the daily commitment. It gave the impression of being both painful and time-consuming. Like making his bed or tiding up his room. “If you don’t then you’ll grow a moustache and beard. You’ll need to wash them and keep them trimmed neatly.” His eyes widened at his dad’s explanation. Geoff never considered growing facial hair. He didn’t know anyo
Mommy, Please Give Daddy a Second Chance CHAPTER 64-KATHY
Kathy couldn’t believe her luck. She’d been scrambling for a way to fix things or recover from her latest complication in her life. Two of her larger orders fell through, and she wouldn’t be able to make her rent for the next month. Kathy would have to give her two-month notice in and find another place to live. Something she wasn’t looking forward to. There wasn’t any way she could ask for more money for Geoff’s care. She couldn’t use Ivy’s guest room, either. The apartment was too small for everyone and her business setup. They went downstairs and piled into a large car with a driver. Kathy thought it was an Uber, but she soon realized there was another car following them. When she looked at Ivy for answers, Ivy didn’t need Kathy to say a word before she explained. “It’s a security service. Bodyguards are in the car ahead and behind. A few will follow us the entire day and mind the cars. It’s all part of the reason Heath didn’t want me taking public transit
Mommy, Please Give Daddy a Second Chance CHAPTER 65-IVY
Ivy turned as she left the vehicle to reach for her bag. Heath climbed from the car with the bag in his hands. Their heads almost collided with each other. “I need to…” Her words stopped when their heads narrowly missed each other. “It’s okay. I’ve got the bag. What have you got in this? Fort Knox and the kitchen sink?” Heath said as he pulled the heavy bag out of the vehicle.“I am prepared for whatever comes my way. We’d have short outings because of sunburns, rashes, or blisters.” Ivy glared at him and took the bag from Heath. That bag was her sanity in a sea of uncertainty. He didn’t understand yet. But he would soon enough. Ivy knew outings like this were tactical nightmares that were paved with random disasters. Any potential accident or incident could ruin the day, ending the day. “That thing needs wheels. It’ll ruin your back. Let me carry it. It’s too heavy for you to carry without aggravating your leg.” Heath looked concerned as his eyes w
Mommy, Please Give Daddy a Second Chance CHAPTER 66–IVY
Ivy didn’t see Parker anywhere. She’d forgotten Heath’s comment about Parker’s different appearance. Wasn’t he working here to organize their entrance and schedule today’s events? What family gathering scheduled events? Kathy wasn’t helpful either. She’d never seen Parker. However, Jones had gone ahead. Ivy would have walked past Parker otherwise. Gone was the professional Parker. Standing there talking to Jones was Parker. With midnight blue hair, hand-painted leather black moto-jacket, and motorcycle boots. He looked like a punk with a chain attaching his wallet to his belt. “Wait, his hair. When did he get an earring?” Heath set Geoff down laughing at Ivy’s confusion, and Kathy’s curiosity in the slim man before them.“I don’t force him to dress professionally at work. He gets a laugh out of how his appearance changes other people’s opinions of his competence. He insists on wearing a wig at work and removes his jewellery w
Mommy, Please Give Daddy a Second Chance CHAPTER 67- MONICA
Monica couldn’t understand. They hit several of her secret social media accounts with violations. Meaning her efforts to go viral went nowhere. She didn’t care about the two lost accounts. Manica would create more. She hated how she’d arranged everything so carefully crafted conversations between the accounts to appear as if the information came from different sources. Sources who compared notes in real time with others on social media. Timing and flow were key. The information couldn’t appear in perfect order.Enough of her posts disappeared from public view. Her social campaign against Ivy failed. The journalist received more attention rather than losing his job for shoddy reporting.What irked her more were the messages questioning where the sudden information came from and the message creator’s motives for bringing this information forward now. It dampened her audience’s interest in the scintillating details she crafted about Ivy and her snot-nosed brat were stealing h
Mommy, Please Give Daddy a Second Chance CHAPTER 68 - HEATH
Heath silently cursed himself. He wanted to congratulate himself as well. Even as he’d enjoyed himself with his son, he’d ignored Ivy’s worries. Now they were coming home to roost. It’d been years since he’d had a sunburn. Now he remembered why Ivy worried about him gaining a sunburn. The back of his neck glowed red in the bathroom mirror under the harsh florescent lighting. His neck hurt, and it was hot to the touch. Heath must get through the day. At least, he had a hat thanks to Parker disappearing and bringing him a safari hat with the zoo’s logo on it. He’d forgotten his at home because he’d been too busy arguing with Ivy about her cane. A cane she’d pulled out about two hours into their time here. She wouldn’t let anyone get her a wheelchair. Instead, trudged on valiantly. That’s the least Heath could do. He didn’t want Geoff to think he was leaving because of a sunburn. Parker entered the men’s bathroom. “Ivy sent me in here with
Mommy, Please Give Daddy a Second Chance CHAPTER 69-PARKER
“Your lawyer was kind enough to inform me he believes as long as she contests your divorce, you can’t remarry,” Parker said in a flat tone to Heath with little preamble about Monica’s attempts to slow down the divorce. She didn’t understand, or Monica wasn’t willing to accept that the divorce was final. Contesting never worked because she’d had a year to have both sides withdraw it. The ability to contest a divorce dated before the law of one year separated existed. “I’ve never heard of that before.” Heath said, annoyed with Monica.Parker could see Heath hadn’t expected Monica to try something this extreme. They knew Monica would be petty about everything. “It’s rarely done. Technically, the law won’t allow you to marry again until you’ve completed the divorce, and they’ve concluded any contested cases.” Parker wanted to throw something at Monica for how petty she was. The woman claimed to be proud. Truthfully, she had no pride. Her outrageous clai
Mommy, Please Give Daddy a Second Chance CHAPTER 70 - PARKER
“Once it’s cleared, the courts. If the documents aren’t misplaced or destroyed. With the war, and the questionable documents people are using to flee that region. It’s difficult to give you a clear timeline. Add the issue with human trafficking. Remember, Ryker’s involved in these illegal businesses. If she’s connected to him, she’s likely connected to all of it.” After some threats Parker received from Monica during conversations, she seemed very comfortable with violence. Those threats made this theory appear logical for Parker. He thought of Stockholm Syndrome as a possibility. Parker saw Monica as a kidnapper rather than a victim. “Really? Do you think Monica acts like a victim? Or a criminal?” Parker shrugged at Heath’s words. He didn’t want to speculate further out. He didn’t want to be wrong. Because he didn’t want to eat his words. Clearly Heath thought the later. “I don’t know. If she has grown attached to her captors, or she can’t trust an
