A Second Chance CHAPTER 12
Thomas was enraged beyond words. The meeting had just ended and didn’t go the way he wanted. They were unable to sign the deal with Xiao Zhan. The asshole wanted Melina before signing the contract. Thomas is pissed off that he’s using Melina as his bargaining chip.To make matters worse, his brother believes he should sell Melina. He’s trying his best to remain calm as his brother vents his rage on him. He walks over to the bar and pours himself a drink to help him relax.“Why the fuck won’t you sell her? It’s not like you’re still dating her,” Stefano says, pissed off at Thomas for refusing to sell Melina.“Why the fuck should I sell her? She’s mine and no one else’s. Nothing you say will persuade me to sell her," Thomas snarls back at his brother.“Don’t you dare use that tone with me? I might be your brother, but I am also your don. Show respect when you talk to me,” Stefano spit in Thomas’ face.“I don’t mean to disrespect you, but don’t fucking ask me to sell Melina.” “How can yo
A Second Chance CHAPTER 13
THOMASAs the words she just said replay in his head, Thomas fires another bullet close to Melina’s feet. He charges at her and grabs her shoulder. Pulling her up to her knees with his free hand, he stares at her closed eyes with fury burning in his eyes. If it was possible, Thomas’ anger and hatred for Melina reached new heights after she said her final words. He was furious; those three-letter words were what she chose to say as her final words. His frown deepens as he realizes she knows he won’t shoot her once she says those words.“What the fuck did you just say?” Thomas growls at Melina, pointing the gun once again at her forehead. Thomas never misses but he did twice, as he was not expecting those words to be her last.“I fucking asked you a question; will you fucking answer?” Thomas yells, moving the gun away from Melina’s face and fires two more bullets close to her feet. Melina flinches and grabs the first thing she comes in contact with. With trembling hands, she holds clutc
A Second Chance CHAPTER 14
Her brain freezes, feeling Thomas’ lips against hers. Her back arches as his hands roam her body. Melina couldn’t believe what was happening. She thought she would never be with Thomas again. She closes her eyes, kisses him back, and allows him to devour her mouth. Melina has missed the taste of Thomas’s lips against hers. Thomas pinches her waist, causing her to open her mouth. His tongue enters her mouth, and the taste of him completely blinds her senses. With his hands around her waist, he pulls her into him. The warmth from his body spreads into her, and the taste of him fills her senses.He moves his lips away from her mouth and takes her right breast into his mouth. Her eyes roll to the back of her head as Thomas sucks hard on her nipple, pulling it between his teeth. Taking his time, Thomas gives each breast the same attention.A gasp escapes her lips as Thomas enters her. Thomas starts thrusting slowly to allow Melina adjust to him. Once he’s sure Melina is comfortable with hi
A Second Chance CHAPTER 15
Melina tells Mrs. Costanzo everything. She doesn’t withhold any information about why she betrayed Thomas. Melina hopes she believes her as it will be nice to have someone who does. It’s been a minute since she finished explaining herself while sitting on Mrs. Costanzo’s couch in her living room. “I believe you, dear,” Kat says, and Melina’s eyes light up. She couldn’t believe Kat does believe her. Melina never imagined that someone would believe she had no choice but to betray Thomas. Kat has no idea how much it means to Melina that she believes her. That’s the only good thing that has happened since she arrived. “Thank you so much for believing me.” Melina pulls her in for a hug. “You don’t have to thank me. What you said was actually believable.” “Really?” Melina asks as she pulls away. “A little, and I know you’re telling the truth because I can feel it in my heart and see it in your eyes,” says Kat. “Do you think Thomas would ever believe me when I tell him?” “I can’t say
A Second Chance CHAPTER 16
Walking out of the kitchen, Melina hears someone giggling and whispering or trying to. She recognizes the voice as Serena’s and can hear her speaking to someone. The other voice sounds male and familiar, but she can’t place it. “Stop it; someone might see us,” Serena says. Melina detects playfulness in her voice. Is Serena flirting with someone? Melina had no idea she was interested in anyone in the house. “I don’t care if they see us. I don’t mind if the whole world knows we are together,” the male voice says. Melina hides to avoid interfering with their sweet moment. The scene before her is so lovely. Leo is looking down at Serena, who is fiddling with her fingers. Leo looks fascinated by Serena, and even though Melina can’t see Serena’s eyes, the blush on her face tells her she likes him too. They look so cute together. “You should go back; Sotto capo might start wondering where you are,” Serena says. She puts her little hand on his chest and tries to push him away from her.
A Second Chance CHAPTER 17
Thomas steps out of the car once they arrive at the office. He walks inside and nods to anyone who greets him. He considers passing by his younger sister’s office before going to his brother’s. Aurora, his younger sister, manages their chain of hotels. Being the Don and heir to their family’s fortune puts a lot of pressure on Stefano, so instead of making Thomas his VP, he gives it to Aurora. Stefano did this so that Thomas could focus on helping him run their mafia. It works perfectly because they own one of the best hotels in the world and are one of the most feared mafias. When Thomas realizes he’s already late for his meeting with Stefano, he decides not to. He knocks on his brother’s office door before entering. “I’ll call you back; Thomas is here,” Stefano says to the person on the phone once Thomas walks in. “Hello, brother,” Stefano greets his brother in Italian. “Hello, why did you ask to see me?” Thomas takes a seat opposite Stefano. “I believe you know why.” Stefano
A Second Chance CHAPTER 18
THOMAS He walks towards Melina and bends down to her level. He looks at her torn underwear on the ground, and his face reddens with rage. Pushing her hair that’s sticking to her face, he notices her bruised cheek. His nose flares up as rage wells up in his eyes. Thomas stands up and walks back to the two men who have just signed their death warrants. Thomas is furious about what he walked into. He couldn’t believe these idiots had the audacity to fuck with Melina. Grabbing their heads, he slammed them into the wall they pushed Melina against. Both men fall to the ground after knocking off the wall. Picking their heads off the floor, he slams them hard into each other. This is only a warm-up. They'll wish they'd never thought of fucking Melina by the time Thomas is done with them. Thomas takes out a cigarette from his inner breast pocket and lights it. He walks to Matteo, who has blood flowing from his bruised nose, and presses the bud into his right eye. Matteo screams scaring the
A Second Chance CHAPTER 19
MELINA Melina flinches as Thomas touches her shoulders. Turning to face him, she sees blood all over his body. Her bile rises, and she spills her guts all over him. Thomas doesn’t say anything as he pulls her hair out of her face. She couldn’t believe what she had just witnessed. The video was one thing but what Melina saw a few minutes ago was something else. Looking at Thomas, she tries her best not to look at the two dead men on the ground. Thomas takes off his shirt and cleans her mouth and bloody nose with the unaffected side before lifting her off the ground. She stares at him, wondering if he killed those men because they tried to rape her or just because they tried to rape a “woman”. She wishes it were the first because it would imply that hatred isn't his only emotion for her. She isn't fooling herself into thinking that because he killed those men for her, he still loves her. It just means that he can feel another emotion for her after she betrayed him. She smiles, hoping t

A Second Chance EPILOGUE
Months laterMELINAMelina stirs awake in her sleep and gets out of bed. She doesn’t bother putting on her slippers before going downstairs to the kitchen. She opens the freezer and takes out the chocolate mint ice cream. She hates it, but the little one growing inside her loves it.Melina is pregnant and is in her second trimester. So far, everything is great for her. That’s excluding the morning sickness and the weird craving she has lately, but other than that, it’s been wonderful. She’s excited to be a parent, and so is Thomas.Melina remembered the day she found out she was pregnant. Words couldn’t describe the joy she felt that day. Her heart soared to the highest point the moment the doctor said,“Congrats, you’re pregnant.”Melina believed she saw the brightest smile on Thomas’ face that day. She also couldn’t stop smiling the whole day. They are re
A Second Chance CHAPTER 71
Present TimeMELINAMelina steps out of the car once they arrive at the beach house on the island. They touched land a few minutes ago and drove straight here. Thomas links his hand with Melina’s and leads them into the house. She is awed the second they step inside. The place is beautifully decorated with rose petals all over the living room. It has couches that have brown armrests and white pillows on them. To the left is a sliding door that leads outside, and right in front of it is a swing chair. The sun is setting, and the only light illuminating the place, adding to its allure.Melina walks inside, to the bedroom, following the trail of the rose petals. It has a king-sized bed with white covers and a carpet of the same color in front of it. Walking further in, she is blown away by the beautiful view of the beach. The sun casts a shadow on the beach’s crystal-clear blue waters and white sand. The sunset looks so stunning from here
A Second Chance CHAPTER 70
THOMASHe looks at Melina as she settles into her chair. He’s relieved she didn’t question him about why he took so long at the warehouse. It wasn’t something he couldn’t tell Melina; he just didn’t want to bother her with it. Thomas smiles as he thinks about it. He looks at his lighter, and the smile on his face broadens. He couldn’t think of a better way to send the bastard to hell.A few hours agoThomas enters the container where James is being held. The room has buckets, a chair, a table with blades, a blow torch, pliers, and a whip. Rafael was quick to deliver him while Thomas was in the hospital. Thomas wouldn’t have had to deal with him today if he wasn’t on his way to his island with Melina. She deserves the time away after what they’ve been through.Thomas removes his Burberry suit jacket and drapes it over the chair. He unbuttons his sleeves, rolls them up, and re

Two Weeks LaterMELINA“Thomas, I might not know much of Sicily, but at least I know the surrounding area on the way home,” Melina says, looking out the window. They are on their way home. Thomas just got discharged from the hospital. Melina is so happy as he is almost fully recovered.“I know,principessa. I need to make a quick stop at one of the warehouses before we go home.”“You just got discharged. How could you already be working?” Melina asks, concerned he might be stressing himself.“Don’t worry. I’m not doing anything strenuous.”
A Second Chance CHAPTER 68
THOMASHe scrolls through his phone to pass the time while waiting for Melina to return. She stepped out to get him some food as he hated the hospital food. Thomas couldn’t believe she forgave him for everything he did. He really thought she would never forgive him and would always blame him for all her sorrows. He is truly happy she did and intends to spend the rest of their lives making sure she never regrets it.The door swings open, and Thomas lifts his head up from his phone, shocked but happy that Melina is already back. The smile on his face quickly changes into a frown when he sees it isn’t Melina.The unwanted guest causally strolls into his room like he owns the place and walks to stand at the foot of Thomas’ bed. Thomas quickly replaces his phone with the gun his father put u
A Second Chance CHAPTER 67
A few hours have gone by since Thomas was shot. The whole family is in the hospital. Melina fears every second, the doctors will just come out and confirm Thomas is dead.Hopefully, that won’t happen.She snaps out of her reverie when someone calls her.“Melina,” someone says, barging into the room. Melina turns her head to the door, and her eyes widen in shock.“Franky!” Melina jolts out of her seat and runs to her sister.“Hello, Mel,” Franky says, smiling.“Oh, my God! Franky, it’s really you,” Melina says, pulling her in for a hug.“Yes, it’s me.” “I’m so sorry for what happened to Thomas,” Franky says, pulling from their embrace.“I don’t know what I will do, Franky, if he dies. I didn’t even tell him I forgave him before he closed his eyes,” Melina says, as fresh tears sting the back of her eyes.
A Second Chance CHAPTER 66
“Mel,” someone calls from behind her. She turns and sees it’s Leo.“Thomas is dead! He’s dead, Leo,” Melina says, sobbing and showing him her hands filled with Thomas’ blood.“I know, Mel, but do you know something else?” Leo asks calmly.She responds by shaking her head.“Until a doctor fucking calls the time of death, Sotto capo is alive. Do you hear me?”She nods her head, agreeing with him.Thomas could still be alive and just unconscious from blood loss.“He isn’t dead until a doctor says so,” she whispers, looking at his chest. She stares at it, waiting to see it move, but it doesn’t. The little glimpse of hope of him being alive dies. She snaps out of staring at his chest when Leo bends down to her on the floor.“Can you apply pressure to his wounds while we carry him to the car?” he asks, taking off his shi
A Second Chance CHAPTER 65
Unfortunately, this doesn’t help Melina because James surprisingly kicks the bucket off her hands and backs her into a wall. He wraps his hands around her neck, restricting her airflow.“Fuck having your body; I’ll just fucking kill you.” He digs his nails into her skin and draws blood as he strangles her. Her face darkens as the veins around her face appear ready to burst at any moment. Melina places her hands above his to free them from her neck. She scratches his hand, drawing blood, but he doesn’t budge. Melina can’t believe this is how she dies. I have to do something.She checks her surroundings for anything that might be of help. Nothing is within her grasp because everything is on the floor. As he squeezes her neck tighter and presses her head deeper into the wall behind her, the wound behind her head burns. Her eyes become heavy. Melina could feel her soul slipping out of her body.I must act now.
