HIS SECOND CHOICE Suggestion
"Mom sent it for you," Shanice dropped the package in front of Serena before taking her seat in the chair. It looked like an ointment with something "Ayurvedic remedy" written over the package. "She said it will speed up your recovery. Use it before going to sleep," Shanice smiled warmly at her. The mention of Mrs. Cooper brought a smile to Serena's face. When she had told the kind-hearted woman about her sprained ankle yesterday, she had not expected her to go out of her way to send ointment for her. She was thoughtful and compassionate just like her husband. "I'll thank her personally," Serena said while picking up the tube. "Mom was all about how I made the best decision of staying here with you. I tell you if she could, she would have replaced you with me," Shanice remarked with her dramatic hand gestures. Serena let out a bark of laughter. "She also said......" Shanice trailed off hesitantly, letting the sentence hang in the air. Serena was intrigued."What she said?" Seren

"Hey," Serena greeted Asher as he entered through the door. Asher responded with an exhausted smile."Tired?' Serena questioned, feeling sorry for her dear husband. Running a multinational company is no child's play. "A little," Asher sighed while dropping his bag to the chair. Serena opened her arms to him and he responded by climbing on the bed and lying over her, careful not to hurt her ankle. He buried his face in the valley of her chest and breathed deeply. Caged in each other's embrace, a sense of serenity settled deep into their bones. Smiling, Serena slipped her fingers into his hair and started sliding them through the thick waves of his locks. Asher sighed in satisfaction, loosening more. "Don't stop, sweetheart," the vibration in his voice danced through her like licks of fire. "If you dare to sleep on me again, I'll throw you off the bed," Serena warned, the threat absent in her tone. He snuggled deeper, smiling at her warning. He had developed this habit of sleepin

"Surrogacy?" Asher lifted his face from her neck to look at her. His brows knitted in confusion."Yes," Serena replied, eager to know his opinion on the subject. "Why? We are trying, ain't we?" he asked, not able to understand why she was suddenly thinking about surrogacy. "We have been trying for six years but nothing has happened till now. We've done everything we could from medicine to surgeries but nothing has worked till now. The doctor says to hold onto hope and keep trying but for how long? I try to stay positive but..but I can't when we are failing each time. What if I never conceived? What if I failed to give you an heir?" a sheen of tears glistened in her eyes as she asked in a hopeless voice. Asher felt his heart tearing at the sight of her breaking down like this. He cupped her face, making her look into his eyes."Just because it didn't happen in six years, doesn't mean it won't happen ever. We just have to keep our faith and try," Asher reassured her while feeling his

"You ready to go?" Serena asked Shanice as she descended her way down the stairs. Shanice answered in agreement. Serena's eyes instinctively drew to the bracelet Shanice was wearing on her left wrist. It was a pretty. She squinted at it. It also looked familiar. "Where did you get it from?" Serena asked, finding herself strangely curious about this bracelet. "Ohh, it's a gift. A very special gift. I got it in high school. You don't remember?" Shanice jogged Serena's memory. Serena shook her head when the memory suddenly hit her. She wouldn't have recalled it if not for these tiny silver lotuses carved on it. Also, this bracelet had one suspense attached to it. "Yeah....wasn't it from one of your exes? Come to think of it, you never introduced us to him. Who was it?" Serena asked nonchalantly. She remmebered the suspense about this boy in their group was huge. Shanice had told them about some guy she was dating in their last year of high school but was tight-lipped about his i
Last Updated : 2023-12-08HIS SECOND CHOICE Testing Him
Serena decided to drop by Asher's office while on her way to the hospital. "Good evening, Ma'am," everyone she passed by, bowed to her in reverence. The receptionist leaped to her feet when she saw her approaching. "Good evening, Ma'am," the receptionist greeted her in a warm voice. "Good evening, Claire. Is he available right now?" Serena asked, giving the receptionist a fond smile. She hadn't informed Asher about her visit. The plan was made in the car only. "Yes," the receptionist replied. Serena made her way towards his office. She opened the door only to find her man in a meeting with some other men. The room was dim-lit and the projector was on. The man explaining whatever was written on the project paused at the noise of the door opening. Silence filled in. Everyone's head snapped in her direction.Serena felt awkward, realising she had just interrupted a meeting. Why did the receptionist said he was free then? The light flooded the room an instant later. Asher swiftly

Shanice struggled to free her feet from Iron cuffs but to no avail. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead. Cold dread coiled in the pit of her stomach as her instincts told her she was in danger. Her gaze snapped to Asher who was watching her from afar with a neutral face. Perched on a red couch, he exuded an air of menace that made Shanice's heart pound with anxiety. The atmosphere around him was thick with hostility, turning up the temperature of the room into an inferno of hellfire. Cold ire burned beneath his calm, tranquil orbs."Why am I here?" Shanice demanded, her voice edged with apprehension. The desperation to escape this place grew stronger when she looked into his dark, soulless eyes. "My wife...," the menacing intonation of his voice thundered in the quiet room, setting her nerves on edge. His icy glare pinning her to the spot."...is my life..." he rose to his feet, his bearing regal and full of authority. Casually slipping his hands into his pockets, he advanced towar

"Why are you.... I am not a threat..why are you so hell-bent on seeing me as one? Serena is my best friend and I would never even dream of hurting her...please, stop it," Shanice cried out as though deeply hurt by his words. Even at the door of death, she was lying smoothly. Asher clenched his jaw. Seven years is enough for anyone to change. He had expected her to change too for if he can change then anyone can. But this woman was a liar back then and she is still a liar. "Why did you tell her about fly board?" he demanded, stabbing her with a withering glare. He couldn't even bring himself to say their first kiss, that disgusted he was with himself for kissing someone other than Serena. It was after kissing Serena, he came to the euphoric realization that his lips belonged to her along with every cell of his being. Shanice's eyes turned wide in realisation. "I..I they were talking about memorable kiss...I told mine..please, stop it ..please," she begged, throwing a fearful glan

"What?' Serena asked, not sure she heard right. Shanice averted her gaze to the window and sighed out as though preparing herself to speak further. After a moment she turned her eyes back on Serena, a sympathetic look in her red-rimmed eyes. She reached over the table and took her hand in hers. "I can see how much having a baby means to you, Ren. You can fool the whole world with your fake smile but not me. I can clearly see the sadness lurking behind your eyes. And your sadness saddens me. Motherhood is the biggest blessing for a woman and I don't know why God chose to not give it to you. I know it in my heart, Ren, that you will be an amazing mother and you deserve all the happiness in the world. And if I can..if I can help you in any way then I won't back off. I am ready to lend you my womb," her words conveyed conviction and sincerity. Serena was still not able to process her proposal Shanice had sprung on her all of a sudden. "I don't......I don't think it's a good idea," Se

HIS SECOND CHOICE Epilogue
Four Years Later After finishing her shift, Serena returned home only to find Asher singing Brianna a lullaby and rocking her gently to sleep. Dream sweet dreams for me Dreams sweet dreams for you...... Her lips curved into a smile as she leaned against the doorframe and watched him lulling their daughter to sleep. Soon tears welled up in her eyes as she realised how perfect their life was going. Bree was lost in her dreamland but it seemed Asher was not ready yet to part from her so he kept singing and rocking her. Wiping away her tears, she walked inside letting him sense her presence. Asher turned around. His eyes lit up when he saw her. "She is asleep," she told him, smiling. His features softened. "I know," he replied. He just didn't want to let go of her. "How was the work?" he asked as he laid little Bree in her cradle. "Same usual," she answered, watching him. "How was your day," Serena asked. She felt so lucky to have Asher. He was working from home for over a
HIS SECOND CHOICE Always Together
The verdict was out. Shanice was sentenced to 16 years in prison for all her crimes. Her career, her life was over. Mr. Cooper broke the news to Asher. Asher felt bad for Mr. Cooper but chose not to pick on his wounds. He thanked the attorney and invested in his firm generously for his help as Mr. Cooper refused to accept a fee from him. After wrapping up his meeting with him, Asher picked up his book on parenting and resumed reading. He leaned back in his chair, put on his glasses, and got to work. The word "excitement" did not measure up to what he was feeling. His wait was almost over. In just a few days, he would be a dad. He will be holding his own child in his arms. It just felt unbelievable. If ten years ago someone had told him that one day his life would be full of joy, happiness, and laughter, he would have beaten the shit out of them for mocking him. His life had taken such a beautiful turn. It was all because of his sweet angel. Serena. She was the source of his happine
HIS SECOND CHOICE Claim Of Love
Their body moved together in melodious harmony, pushing and pulling like a magnet. Asher grabbed her face close and deepened their kiss. Saliva dripped down the corner of their mouth, their eyes closed but their senses hyperaware. He could taste passion on her tongue and by God, he was hooked. The lashing of her tongue against his sent thousands of volts of current down his veins. No matter how many times he fuck her, it was still not enough. He craved their proximity like a man craves oxygen. Her sweet moans, feeble gasps, and innocent response fed his insatiable hunger for her. Time stood still as they explored each other's bodies, their connection growing deeper with every passing moment. Those wet sounds turning louder with his every vigorous stroke. Breaking the kiss, he buried his face into the crook of her neck. Her ass was perched on her study desk and he was standing between her thighs. The day after tomorrow was her viva and instead of studying, here she was indulging in ca
HIS SECOND CHOICE Fight And Love
Serena learned morning sickness isn't limited to the morning only. It continued all day long and on top of that, she had also developed a strong aversion to non-vegetarian food which meant Asher couldn't enjoy them either. Her hormones were like a roller coaster, constantly shooting up and down, affecting her mood. Asher was having a hard time keeping up with her mood swings. One moment she would be laughing, and the next, she would be crying like a baby, leaving Asher utterly confused.The doctor had warned him beforehand about her coming mood swings. She said pregnancy does it to women and more so in her case as her body was working extra hard to keep the baby. He had not expected it to be this bad when the doctor had told him that it would be "bad." The other day she kicked him out of their room only because he fell asleep before her. He had to take refuge in the guest room that night. Her temper is always at the boiling point but what bothered him the most was her physical distre
HIS SECOND CHOICE Hearing
"You don't have to go," Asher tried to dissuade Serena from accompanying him to the court. He was reluctant to take her along as he didn't want Shanice's evil eyes to touch her or their baby. Serena firmed the knot of his tie and angled her head up to meet his eyes. He was looking down at her with concern. "You are worrying for nothing. No harm can touch me as long as you are by my side," she reassured him. She didn't believe in herself as much as she believed in him. She had no concern for her safety for she knew Asher wouldn't let anything happen to her or their baby. Besides, Shanice would be in shackles. There is no way for her to inflict harm on them. And Serena was done being in the background."You've already made up your mind, haven't you?" he questioned with a sigh. Serena's smile widened in response."Yes. I am coming," she chirped, giving a light pat on his chest. ......Mr. Cooper was already at the court when they arrived. The color had returned on his face but it had
HIS SECOND CHOICE Make Up
Serena woke up to something wet trailing down her neck. Even in a half-asleep state, she recognized his soft yet possessive touch. A moan escaped her mouth as she tried to scoot away only to be pulled back into the safety of is embrace. His arms were coiled around her, keeping her closer. She had missed a morning like this. A sense of serenity washed upon her.Her eyes fluttered open, greeted by the sight of a clear, blue sky from the window. The wet sensation was now replaced by ticklish fluff of kisses. She gazed out at the clear sky all the while savoring the feel of his lips against her skin. As he had shattered the door, nothing was stopping the chilly gusts from invading the room. The curtains caught in the breeze fluttered and billowed. However, they remained shielded by the covers- naked and tangled beneath it. "Good Morning," he breathed hotly against her skin, causing her to shiver in delight. His bedroom voice was a huge turn-on. What felt like an eternity, she was finall
HIS SECOND CHOICE Long Awaited Night
In a blink, Asher was in front of her. Before she could comprehend anything, he gripped her hair in a vice-like grip, forced her face up, and slammed his mouth against hers. Biting and nibbling, he mauled her soft flesh with his brutal kiss. He sank his teeth into her sweet flesh, causing blood to ooze. Now that felt like a bloody kiss. The kiss was so brutal yet so intense that she couldn't help but feel delirious. His hand pulled taut on her hair, eliciting moans from her, the sound intertwining with their passionate kiss. Asher devoured her mouth with an insatiable hunger as though he was an addict and her sweet juicy lips were his drug. His free hand went around and unhooked her bra with a sense of urgency. He needed to get rid of all these clothes between them. Impatient for her touch, he seized her wrist and made her rub his bulge through the fabric. An animalistic grunt tore from his throat at her first caress. His cock had suffered the most after his heart during their separ
HIS SECOND CHOICE Teasing Him
An idea occurred to Serena, causing a mischievous glint to enter her eyes. Asher oblivious to the little plan brewing in her mind continued to smoke with his back on her. The familiar scent of tobacco surrounded him. It was after a very long time he was smoking. He wouldn't lie one of the reasons he was smoking right now was to vex her. She didn't like him smoking. The air outside was chilling but as the tobacco bled into his veins, he didn't feel it as bad as it was. A rustling noise from inside caught his attention, causing his ears to perk up. Curious, he turned around only to discover she had pulled aside all the curtains from the glass walls that separated the balcony from the room. He located her at the end of the wall, carrying a suggestive glint in her eyes as she drew aside the last curtain. Asher raised his brows in skepticism, her body language felt different. She coyly bit down on her lip and started walking backward, maintaining their eye contact. On her way, she turn
HIS SECOND CHOICE Letter Of Blood
"Did you write it with your blood?" she asked in disbelief, her eyes bulging out of her sockets. Asher grinned proudly."Yes," he answered. Serena raised her gaze to him. Seeing no expectant smile on her face, his own grin shrunk. "Are you a kid? Why would you do this?" she asked, baffled. Kids do these kinds of stuff in school. What happened to his rationality?A frown settled over his lips. "You wanted it," he answered, unsure why she was unhappy. Didn't she want him to write a letter to her? It had taken him a lot of effort to write it. He literally spilled his blood for it. This wasn't the reaction he was hoping for. His answer set her off. She narrowed her eyes at him. "When did I ask you to write me a letter with your blood?" she snapped, leaving Asher with no defense. Asher was still confused as to why she was focusing on unnecessary stuff and not reading the letter. She looked down at his hand and seized it. With a long sigh, she upturned his hand to find a bandaid on his
