HIS SECOND CHOICE Getting Back
"Do you know what these flowers symbolize?" he questioned, catching her attention from the bunch. He was again standing way too close to her, compelled by his heart. Serena shook her head as she didn't know. "They represents purity, strength, and resilience. It symbolizes our bond," he answered, smiling proudly. Serena brought her gaze back to the flowers, now seeing them in a new light- awed and impressed. "They are beautiful," she told him, affectionately caressing the tiny flowers. Asher stared at her with deep longing and love. Longing if unreciprocated is a curse. Serena clicked the picture of the flowers. Thank you for such a thoughtful gift, husband. These flowers indeed symbolize our marriage- strong and pure. I love you!She wrote under the picture and shared it on their social media. After that, she unblocked Shanice from her contacts and personally shared their pictures with her. It was a bitch move but she did it anyway. He loves me. He always did. That's al

Shanice dropped down on the couch as her knees gave away, Her eyes wide and full of disbelief. She couldn't believe what she was seeing."Shanice had it all set up. If you look closely her appearance is exactly like Mrs. Carter which in itself explains everything," a man assessed on the news. "What could be her intention?" the anchor asked, curious. "Maybe she wanted money from Mr. Carter and did it to blackmail him," the man assumed which made sens to the anchor. She switched channels and on every channel- the phone recording of her and her stooge was being played on repeat. "No..no..no," she murmured to herself, expression filled with horror. Is she dreaming? It has to be a dream. she pinched and slapped herself but to no avail. She was still here, watching random people question her character in front of the camera. Her eyes moistened over. It wasn't supposed to happen. Serena and Asher were supposed to break apart not this. She was still in disbelief, shaking like a leaf. Her

"To what do I owe the pleasure of your unwanted presence in my humble abode?" Serena questioned as soon as Shanice entered through the door, covered from head to toe. Serena smirked. Once the popular name, now couldn't even show her face in public. "Take your complaint back," Shanice told her in a cold voice, meeting her calm and cold gaze with a resentful glare. This time she didn't bother to hide her contempt for Serena. The hatred in her eyes was sharp enough to cut through flesh.Serena lifted her brow. Bold of her to assume that she would tell her and Serena would do it. "Wasn't it you who always used to say side with right no matter what? I am following your advice. What's wrong with that?" Serena walked towards her in casual, confident strides. Her voice didn't sound meek and full of gratitude that Shanice was used to hearing- it sounded confident and questioning. The change in her didn't sit well with Shanice. She gritted her teeth, not enjoying her bold stance. Her face
Last Updated : 2023-12-31HIS SECOND CHOICE Rivalry
Serena was like a pet dog for Shanice who sat, stood, ate, and ran on her command. She had trained her well but it seemed money and a little pampering from Asher had gone to her head. She had begun to rebel now. She had begun to make a stand against her. And what happens to the bitches that rebel against their owner? They are put to death. Serena- the fucking bitch- needed to die.Serena was blanked out by the pointed tip of the blade that hurtled down towards her to rip her open. The suddenness of her move had stunned her to her core. As it drew near, she clenched her eyes close in fear and waited for the knife to spear through her but the impact never came. Instead, a deadly silence took over until a loud thud followed by an ear-piercing scream shattered it. Her eyes snapped open to Asher charging toward Shanice who was sitting against the wall, holding her head. She watched in shock as Asher yanked Shanice up by her hair and struck her hard right across her face. He was furious. "

Shanice's dad was one of the best lawyers in the world but he refused to take up her case after learning about her crimes. Shanice was crestfallen when she found out about his refusal. No matter what, her dad had never said no to her, he always had her back, after all, she was his prettiest princess. He can't abandon her like this. But the truth was too glaring to ignore. He didn't even come to see her or her mother. "And they said they are ashamed of you," her lawyer concluded hesitantly. Shanice's heart contorted in pain when she heard it. She used to be her dad's pride. This time she wasn't angry but just sad. She hated to be a disappointment. "No..my dad can never say this....you are lying," she mumbled, not wanting to believe it. Tears flowed down her eyes. The lawyer lowered her head, uncertain of how to respond. His client was apparently having a meltdown. Since the day the suicide letter came to the surface, more complaints were reported against her by her old victims.

Asher looked confused at first but when the word was processed in his mind, he smiled. "That's..that's great," he cheered, expression approving. Her smile widened. "Ayleen suggested. I was hesitant a little but now I think I will go for it," she stated, feeling more motivated after his encouragement. "Now you know why I only approve of Ayleen in your friend circle? She is the only one with her heart in the right place," he stated. "But her heart is on the left," Serena quipped. "What?" "You said in the "right place" but her heart is in "the left place." I mean not technically in left but inclining towards it," she told him innocently before cracking up. This was perhaps the first time she had laughed in so long. After their conversation, she was feeling lighter. "That was a bad one," Asher criticized before cracking into laughter himself. Her laughter was infectious and this garden had some magic of sorts, it always brought them together in mysterious way

"You say this only to cheer me up, Don't you?" she asked with an incredulous smile on her face and hopeful tears in her eyes. Serena was in disbelief. It sounded too good to be true. Years she had spent longing for it and now that her husband was telling her that her prayers were finally answered, she couldn't believe it. He was amused by her reaction. She was just not able to believe it. "I am not lying, love. I will never say such lies to you" he said, a gentle smile gracing his lips. He could relate to her reaction. He was just as surprised when the doctor had told him. Serena was speechless. She just stared at him, unable to find her voice. How do you respond when you learn that God has finally fulfilled your most earnest wish? It took her more than a moment to process the revelation. It just felt too overwhelming. As the realization finally dawned on her, her hand instinctively reached and splayed across her flat stomach where her baby was resting- a tangible symbol of hope.

"Who do you want dead?" Serena demanded in an icy tone. Asher averted his gaze from her, a small frown indented between his brows. "It's nothing," he answered, clearly reluctant to divulge the name. Serena marched over to where he was standing and stopped just a step short. Her eyes were hard and disapproving. She already knew who he was talking about. "You were talking about Shanice," she stated. Asher ground his jaw, annoyance pricked at him. Why the hell was she giving him a dead glare because of that bitch? "Yes. I was talking about Shanice," his voice was steely and sure as he finally confirmed her doubts. Serena regarded him with a reproachful glare. "How many people have you murdered before?" she asked, voice filled with disdain. Asher had the audacity to appear offended by her question. His eyes narrowed into slits in objection. "I've never killed anyone," he shot back. "But soon you are going to," she retorted, her tone acid. "I am just looking out for our child. What

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
