102 | “What's going on here?”

2024-01-21 14:30:48“Aw, not that I don’t love a good melodrama of two brothers finally burying the hatchet, but let’s face it—it gets old real quick, doesn’t it?” A familiar voice arrived and interrupted the brothers’ moment.
Carmen stepped forward, walking around Ronin and Eric. Her eyes widened when she recognized the person to whom the voice belonged. “Jenna?”
“What the hell?” Ronin helpfully supplied.
“You must be kidding me!” Eric grumbled. “What the fuck are you doing here?” He couldn’t help but ask, walking past Carmen and Ronin, as if being protective of them.
Jenna chuckled, tilting her head and twirling a strand of her hair. “You might’ve switched sides, Eric, but not everyone’s as disloyal as you.”
“What’s going on here?” Carmen asked, struggling to make sense of the situation. “I don’t… I don’t

Carmen didn’t understand. What the hell was going on? How did James manage to get away from Simon and her mom? Did they let him go on their own? Or did something happen after they left?Her thoughts ran rampant, and she hoped her mom was fine. They might not have been on good terms for now, but that didn’t mean she wanted her to get hurt by this asshole.She couldn’t help but ask. “How did you get out?”It was the question that bothered her the most. Was it possible Simon made some deal with James? But that didn’t make much sense either. Her mom would never let that happen. But what if her mom never got a say in the matter? What if everything happened behind her back? Carmen didn’t know why her mom and Simon were working side by side, but she hoped quite dearly in her heart that her mom’s life wasn’t in danger because of her.James smirked, walking further inside the large room, his boots lazily crawli

Willow pulled the car up a few plots before where Eric had entered a few hours ago. It was dark now, and she was glad she had managed to get rid of Dan during the car chase.It wouldn’t have been possible to fool someone as experienced as Dan but Dan himself had taught her a few tricks to shake off stalkers if she ever found herself in a bind. Little did she expect to use those very tricks against her mentor.Not that it was much of her concern at this moment. There were more pressing matters taking up almost all the space in her head.She let out a sigh, noticing a few more cars parked outside Eric’s property.“Looks like he isn’t alone anymore,” she mumbled, exchanging a worried glance with Alice.“Maybe Mommy and Daddy came, just like you said they would.”“You’re right. If I remember what Eric told me, he must have called them to clear up the misunderstandings between them.”

[Note: To be clear, this is five years into the future] Willow woke up from the start. Her eyes were wide open, her jaw slightly dropped, and her heart pounded like a gong against her ribs. “What the hell?” She grabbed the alarm clock from the nightstand and almost screamed upon seeing the time. “Shit!” Then, she shuffled her hands around the bed, searching for her phone. She found it at the foot of the bed. She sprawled on her stomach to check the date. Her eyes widened even more, and her brows rose into her forehead. “Shit, shit, shit.” It didn’t take rocket science for her to realize that she was back—back in her timeline. That’s when fear, frustration, and nervousness all jumbled up, turning her into one chaotic mess. Did it happen? She thought to herself, resisting the urge to chew on her nails, a habit she could never get rid of. Did she do it? Did she save Ronin? There was only one way to find out. But could she? She was suddenly so damn nervous. What if it didn’t work? W
Last Updated : 2024-01-25BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 106 | "Too much work for one person, don’t you think?”
Willow had every intention of driving straight to Carmen’s place and seeing things for herself. To say she was desperate and a little terrified to see Ronin and Carmen together would not be an understatement. Before the whole time-travel thing, Ronin never made it out alive from the fire set by James. When Willow finally woke up from her coma and heard about his demise, she was devastated. She didn’t even know if she was supposed to be happy to be alive or distraught about losing her little brother. Everything was suddenly too overwhelming for someone who had just gotten up from years of sleep. It took her another few months to finally find the will to continue with her life. The only good thing that came out of the whole chaos was Alice. She was already two years old when Willow was back on her feet. Little Alice was like a beacon of sanity for the entire Logan family, especially for Willow, who didn’t even know how to continue the life that had been on hold for such a long time. I
Last Updated : 2024-01-30BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 107 | "And let you fool me twice?”
Out of everything Willow had expected to happen after she returned from the whole time-travel thing, the last thing on her mind was getting forgotten by the man she loved.“You must be kidding me,” she said, more to herself than to him, while he stood there with his rifle aimed at her. She could see it in his eyes now. There was no recollection. No memory. No love that they shared. There was no warmth.Ice-cold. That’s what she found in his eyes as he glared back, confused, frustrated, and angry beyond measure.But why? She thought. Why would this happen? What did she do wrong? It made no sense. No sense at all. How could he just forget about her? How could just one singular moment she changed in the past have such a drastic outcome? And why him? Why did he have to be the one to lose his memories of her? Why? Why? Why?Usually, Willow was emotionally strong, stronger than any of her brothers. She was like a wall, they would say, and nothing could break her into tears. But this. This w

“What took you so long?” Carmen was in the gardens when Willow pulled up the car in the driveway. She was walking towards her, before stopping and asking the man on the ladder for some suggestions. “Please keep it tighter. I don’t want the kids to get tangled up if anything comes loose. Last time was a mess.” She shook her head before sighing at whatever the man said and pushing some loose curls out of her face. “Just do it,” she said to him, then refocused on the approaching Willow.Carmen met her midway and hugged her. “Eric said you left early. Was it traffic?”Willow had the urge to tell Carmen everything. The two of them had gotten closer after Ronin died, sharing anything and everything throughout their lives. The only secret Willow ever kept from Carmen was her affair with Dan. Not because she didn’t trust Carmen with her secret, but because Dan himself had asked for some time before revealing anything to their families.But now that she had changed the past and saved Ronin fro
Last Updated : 2024-02-07BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 109 | "What's the proof of that?”
Bullshit! That’s what it was. Everything was. How could…this…any of this…any fucking of this happen? It made no sense at all. How could the little girl she saw growing up right in front of her eyes become someone else’s daughter? It literally made no sense. Nothing made sense. When Dan refused to recognize her or what used to be between them, Willow choked it up, telling herself that it was fate, and of course, the consequences of toying with time. Even long before Alice convinced her to steal the time-travelling device from Carmen, she knew there would be repercussions. Not that she believed it would really work. But Alice was hopeful. She wanted to go back in time and bring her daddy back. She wanted her family whole. She was the one responsible for everything Willow did. Then how the fuck could she betray her like this? How could she become someone else’s? Ugh. Without saying another word, Willow stormed out of the mansion and headed straight for where she had parked her car. S

The dinner started, and everyone sat around the long table, talking and laughing, and enjoying the evening overall.Ronin and Carmen stood at the head of the table, watching everyone take their seats.Willow grabbed a chair next to Eric, only to find Diana sliding into the chair right in front of her.After their conversation at the driveway, Willow hadn’t been able to think about anything else. It all felt so surreal. Like everything that was happening was more like a dream, and she couldn’t wait for someone to wake her up.But then she thought about reality and the fact that Ronin wouldn’t be in it if things went back to the way they were, and once again, she found herself stuck in a strange dilemma.It was as if fate was forcing her to choose between her brother and Alice. But could she really? She loved her brother, there was no doubt about it, but she had also raised Alice as her daughter. Even the thought of having no relati

BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE Epilogue :)
After seeing off her parents, Grandpa Edgar—who had been on bed rest ever since his last attack—, Eric and Ronin, Willow sat in the car with Carmen, while Molly sat in the back. None of the kids came to the airport with them.For a long while, no one said anything. But then, Molly broke the silence with a very strange question. “So, just to be sure, does that time-traveling device really work?”Carmen scoffed while Willow wasn’t sure what to say. In the past month, she had been experiencing a bit of memory lapse. She remembered a lot of things, but certain incidents felt like a dream now, like a movie she had watched and forgotten about, and now couldn’t even recall the title or the story.She shrugged. “Maybe? Maybe not? Who cares? I’m just glad we got rid of it.”“Yeah,” Molly nodded in agreement. “True. But still, though. Imagine having a device like that. What do you think, Carmen? Do you think the world would have benefited from something like that?”Carmen kept her eyes on the ro
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 133 | "No need to be creepy for so long.”
Willow sat in her room, staring at their family photo that was taken at Carmen and Ronin’s home party a month ago, the day when they announced their second pregnancy.Such a happy day it was.Sure, it was followed by all kinds of bad things, with Lewis Ladder trying to be the mean bastard and wanting his revenge on Diana, to make her pay for what she stole from him. But in the end, everything was fine again. They all made it safe and sound, and no one was terribly hurt. Simon Walsh had disappeared all over again and Diana was back to being secretive about her relationship with that son-of-a-bitch.Well, not that it mattered right now.Willow was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard the knock on the door.When she looked up from the photo she was staring at, she was surprised to find Ronin’s head peeking inside.He looked so silly doing that, it reminded her of their childhood.She scoffed, shaking her head. “Come on, inside. No need to be creepy for so long.”“Thank God,” he fake
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 132 | "What are you all standing here for?"
The next morning, Jasper and Molly arrived early morning at the Logan’s old mansion. Behind them, Ronin and Carmen got out of their car too.Alice and Ryan squealed seeing each other and before anyone could stop them, they took off inside, ignoring the calls of everything behind them.“God, these kids!” Molly gushed, shaking her head. “They don’t know how to take a pause, do they?”Carmen chuckled, giving Molly a side hug. “Of course, they don’t. Did you forget already? You were just as hyperactive if not less. Did you tell Jasper about that one time when you got lost in the next neighbourhood?”The mention of the incident caused Molly’s cheeks to warm and turn pink. She shoved Carmen away. “No? And he doesn’t need to know.”“What’s not to know?” Appeared Jasper from behind, locking the car and staring at them with strange curiosity, assured that he just missed on something worth knowing.Molly groaned. “Nothing,” she glared at Carmen, silently warning her to not say another word or e
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 131 | "You have to remember that”
“Are you sure you wanna do this?” Simon asked while Diana stared ahead, arms crossed over her chest.“I have to,” she shrugged, not taking her eyes off the building in front of them. The one that was shut down by the government aeons ago, realizing that the time travelling device held more dangers than they were equipped to handle, and that the money put into such a project was better spent somewhere else.Perhaps they were right. Perhaps the world wasn’t ready for such advancements just yet.Perhaps they would never be. And that was okay.“This is the only way we can put an end to this madness for real.”Simon hummed, nodding slowly. “Well then, what are you waiting for? Let’s do the honours.”Diana breathed in a deep breath, realizing it was time. She took out a small remote from her purse and pressed the only red button on it.In the next moment, there was a loud explosion and the building before them blew up in a huge blast of fire, taking everyone and everything with it.———“What
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 130 | "Alright then, have a good life"
*One Month Later*Willow sat in her car and stared at the lone gate standing in the middle of nowhere.“Alright. You can do this,” she said to herself and took a deep breath. But then she frowned, biting her bottom lip. “Or maybe you shouldn’t. It’s not like, you know, he cares.” But what if he did? What if this could still work?She didn’t know. Oh God, she didn’t know anything.After that incident with Diana a month ago, it took weeks to get everything back to normal. As Willow had already feared, Diana slowly forgot everything about the time traveling and their conversation about it. The only thing she remembered, and so did everyone else, was talking about the device, stealing it, hiding it, and trying to protect it from getting into the wrong hands. But no one actually remembered doing it. If that made any sense at all.Willow had no idea what exactly the science behind it was, but she was the only one who remembered. Or at least, she remembered a little bit of it. The truth was e
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 129 | "Or else I’m screwed”
“STOP IT RIGHT NOW!”Simon’s deep voice rumbled throughout the house, leaving not a single person untouched. From the look on his face, it was clear he had hell in his mind. And why wouldn’t he? The sight in front of him was not only disgusting but a complete disaster.In one corner of the house, Carmen stood with her hands tied above her head to a rope that connected her to the fan.In a different corner, Ronin was held back by two men, while a third man aimed a gun at his temple. Simon noticed Ronin had been shot once in the shoulder, and now blood had soaked a part of his shirt completely. At the top of the stairs, there was a very teary, very distressed little boy, held tightly by another giant-looking man.Last but not least, Diana was sprawled on the floor on her back, two men pinning her to the ground while a third sat on her chest, almost choking her.Simon had no choice but to show his displeasure at the sight.He shook his head and huffed. “Dammit! Let’s be honest, this is th
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 128 | "Pull up her..."
Diana had understood by now that no matter what deed you do, if someone considers it to be wrong, then you have no choice but to pay the price for it.“Please, I beg you,” she fell to her knees, joined her hands and pleased. “Let my daughter go. Let her family free. Punish me however you want, I won’t say a word. Please, just spare my daughter. Spare my daughter for God’s sake!”To Diana’s huge disappointment, the leader only laughed, and so did his minions, as they cracked and doubled over, enjoying the poor predicament of the old woman.“You, assholes!” Ronin snapped, hating everything happening in front of him, wanting nothing more than to kill all those bastards. “Do you have any conscious or not? How could you enjoy this? Are you even humans?”“No. We are not. Satisfied now?” The leader asked, bored, rolling his eyes. But then those same eyes glinted and something wild passed his dangerous face. “We are monsters. We are trained to bring our enemies to their knees, no matter what
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 127 | "Or maybe I do.”
Diana returned to the living room and joined Carmen and Ronin.The dozen men continued to keep an eye on them, not giving them even a minute of break.Diana sat quietly, trying to figure out how to get out of their current predicament. She knew her daughter could see how badly she was fidgeting. She knew Ronin could see that she was hurting. But there was nothing she could do. It was after a very long time she was feeling so helpless, so useless, so damn stupid.“Mom, are you okay?” Carmen asked, his voice as sweet and gentle as ever. “What happened inside? Did it work?”Diana could understand the desperation in her daughter’s eyes. Carmen wanted nothing more than to run to her son and hold him tightly to her chest. But these men…these ruthless and pain-in-the-ass men were denying her the most basic and satisfying thing in the world. And it was all because of her mistakes. If only she hadn’t…“Mom?” Carmen spoke again, and Diana had no choice but to be honest.“No. It didn’t work,” sh
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 126 | "Then whose fault is it?
Willow sat on the side of the road and stared at the main gate of the Logan residence. It was still too far away for any of the men inside to spot them, but over the last few years, Willow had visited the place so many times, she remembered every single tree and bird along the way.Dawn had broken long ago, and now the sun glared down at them from the peak of the day. It was hot as hell outside, but no matter how many times Dan told her to get inside the car and take respite from the cruel heat, she couldn’t move. It was as if she wanted to punish herself for everything that led to this day. Perhaps if she hadn’t toyed with time, this day wouldn’t have arrived. But something had definitely alerted those men—the organization—and she couldn’t come up with any reason to blame other than herself. She was the one responsible for this. Then why wasn’t she the one to take the brunt of it too? How was any of this fair?“You do realize what you’re doing is not actually helpful, right?” Dan’s v
