HIS SECOND CHOICE Have No One
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
HIS SECOND CHOICE Confrontation
"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
HIS 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. "
HIS SECOND CHOICE Progress
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.
HIS SECOND CHOICE Another Blow
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
HIS SECOND CHOICE Good News
"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.
HIS SECOND CHOICE Letter
"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 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
