HIS SECOND CHOICE Mending
He put on his shirt and trousers to go and check what was wrong with her tap. Before leaving, he walked over to sleeping Serena. Leaning over, he gently pulled her arm from underneath her with a shake of his head. This woman does gymnasium in her sleep and then complains about her aching arms and legs in the morning. After making sure she was tucked in from all sides, he pulled the cover up to her chin and planted a soft kiss on her forehead."I'll be quick," he whispered, nudging his nose with hers. He didn't know in which guest room Shanice was staying but as far as he knew his wife, he was certain she had allotted him the best of all. The room was lit too, confirming his doubt. He stood in front of the door and knocked on it. Hardly a moment had passed when the door opened and Shanice appeared. She was drenched from head to toe. Her see-through nighties barely hid anything. She smiled her most charming smile at Asher and tucked a strand behind her ear, expecting him to check her o
HIS SECOND CHOICE Arguement
Serena was looking for Asher everywhere and finally found him in his mom's room, sitting on the floor with his legs crossed, surrounded by his mom's belongings. Serena leaned against the doorframe and watched him as he gently caressed each of his mother's possessions with a serene expression on his face. Serena was captivated by him. Taking advantage of his oblivion, she quietly took out her phone and snapped a picture of him. He was so lost in his own world that he couldn't sense her presence. Smiling, she pushed off the doorframe and approached him. When she was close enough, she crouched down and hugged him from behind. "I was looking for you," she kissed the side of his forehead and murmured. He gently brought her forward by holding her hand on his lap. A tender look in his eyes as he gazed down at her. She responded with a sweet smile. "Thank you," his voice was heavy with emotions. If not for her, he would have lost his mother's belongings for good. She was a thoughtful an
HIS SECOND CHOICE Making Up
"Are you two arguing because of me?" Shanice questioned, her gaze darting between Asher and Serena. Asher averted his gaze from Serena and stormed out of the bathroom without acknowledging Shanice's presence. "Oh God, I am feeling so terrible right now. I am so sorry, Ren. I shouldn't have asked you to let me use your bathroom," Shanice put a hand on Serena's shoulder and apologized, faking a sorry tone. Serena quickly wiped away her tears and shook her head. "It isn't your fault," she replied lowly without meeting her gaze and made her way out of the kitchen. ....Asher returned home at 1 in the night. He stepped in through the door, carrying his jacket in one hand, only to find her waiting for him in the living hall. Asher halted in his pace when he saw her. Serena locked eyes with him and slowly got to her feet. The air between them was stiff and cold. Serena walked over and stood in front of him. She rose on her tiptoes and sniffed him. Asher rolled his eyes. "I am not dru
HIS SECOND CHOICE Slip
Shanice stared at her reflection in the mirror, a scowl plastered across her face. How could he ignore such a pretty face? How could he be so unmoved by her charm? There used to be a day when he would admire her beauty but now he wasn't even looking her way. She had already sensed his presence when he got inside the bathroom. It was no surprise as she had kept the door unlocked on purpose. She had expected him to give in to her seduction and get under the shower with her but he left. The disappointment she had felt was huge. And he also ignored her when she walked in on Serena and him having an argument. The more he was avoiding her, the more she was tempted to win him back. Her morbid obsession with him was becoming more and more fatal. She needed to move Serena out of their way. She was proving to be a bigger distraction than she had expected in her mission. Asher was his and it was time she claimed what belonged to her."Everything is fair in love and war," Shanice whispered to he
HIS SECOND CHOICE Attempts At Winning Him
Serena fiddled with her fingers while eyeing him with a hesitant look. Her endurance power had crossed all its limits. She needed to go to the bathroom to relieve herself. She couldn't help but feel a little ashamed to ask him to take her to the bathroom even though he had made it clear that he didn't mind carrying her anywhere. She cast another uncertain glance at Asher, biting down on her lip, contemplating if she should disturb him or not. He was sitting behind the desk, eyes centered on his laptop screen. Asher had decided to work from home today to ensure that his clumsy wife was well taken care of and kept safe."Asher," she called. Asher turned his attention towards her. "I need to use the bathroom," she told him, voice laced with hesitance. Asher got up from his chair and strode over to her."Why am I detecting hesitance in your tone?' He asked, hoisting her up in his arms with ease. Serena locked her arms around his thick neck, an apologetic expression on her face. "I am
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
HIS SECOND CHOICE Experience Of Love
"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
HIS SECOND CHOICE Finding A Surrogate
"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
