HIS SECOND CHOICE Conspiracies
It was one of those moments in his life where he felt utterly lost. His marriage was falling apart, the woman he can't live without was slowly drifting away from him and he wasn't able to do a fucking thing. He felt so helpless, so fucking desperate. Just what does he need to do to make her believe him? Why was she being so cruel? Why can't she just give him a chance? Just one chance. Is it too much to ask? He wished he could go back in time and set everything right. One mistake and he was on the verge of losing everything he treasured. He can lose anything but Serena. He can't lose her. He just can't. He felt suffocated, hurt- so much hurt. The fear of losing her gnawing at his heart. He knew he wouldn't be able to live without her if she ever decided to leave him. She was his reason for being. No force in this world can tear them apart. She can wallow in self-pity as much as she wants, she can hurt him too but he won't let her leave him. She was bound to him till eternity. "I w

"More than the fact that he used you, I think you are hurting more because of the fact that he didn't choose you first," Ayleen concluded. She turned away from the window and towards her. The mist had begun to dissipate after sunrise.Serena's mouth tightened in a thin line. She didn't respond, further affirming her assumption. "It's true, isn't it?" Ayleen asked, already knowing the answer. She made her way towards Serena and stood behind her. Ayleen lived two hours away from their home but when tonight Serena had called her and she heard her distressed voice, she drove all the way to here. The woman in front of her was nothing like her friend. This woman looked hopeless, depressed, and tormented. "I ever wanted only one thing from my life. To be my man's first and only choice. So yes, it did hurt me when I learned I am not his first choice" Serena replied, for the first time admitting that she was indeed hurt because he didn't choose her first. Does she not deserve to be a first

"He had his heart fixated on you right from the beginning, only it took him some time to realise it. Remember Henry? Who stopped talking to you all of a sudden? We met in a conference a few years ago where he told me that Asher had threatened him against ever even talking to you. A friend does that? Remember every guy who approached you in high school were suddenly ignoring you the next day? It was your husband's doing. He couldn't even bear to see another boy within a 60-mile radius of you. A friend is never this possessive," Ayleen had astounded her with this eye-opening revelation. She had her blown away. "Asher did that?" she questioned in disbelief. He never mentioned anything like this to her. When did this even happen? He was going around threatening other boys for her and she never got a whiff of it? If that was true, then she was ignorant as fuck in high school. Things were happening around her and she remained blissfully oblivious to them. As for Henry, she indeed had sense

Believing in this poorly fabricated video would be akin to shaming their seven years of relationship. In these seven years, if she had learned anything about Asher, it was that he hated cheating with his guts. Asher will never cheat on her and nobody could convince her otherwise. Serena tolerated Shanice belittling her but this time that woman had gone way too far. She shouldn't have done this. What Shanice had done was beyond outrageous. Serena could endure almost anything but seeing someone disgrace her husband- it was way beyond her tolerance limit. He was her pride, her man. Shanice had made a huge mistake by targeting Asher and Serena was not going to let her get away with it. Not this time. She gave no fuck about the piece of shit called "sensational video" because she already knew the truth. She would protect her husband's honor along with exposing that snake's pathetic lies to the world. Target her, she most probably wouldn't even retaliate but dare to go after her husband an

They were ready to set about their date.He reached to hold her hand but she moved away. Just because she was supporting him right now, it didn't mean everything was back to normal between them. It was clear he needed to keep working to win her back. But he didn't mind. He had at least managed to win back her trust. He will soon have her love too.Asher did feel a prick of disappointment but he ignored it. He helped her out of the car by holding her hands. Serena was a different person the moment she got out of the car. A sweet smile claimed her face as she gazed lovingly at Asher. "Thank you, husband," she reached on her tip-toe and planted a kiss on his cheek, jolting him to his bones. He couldn't breathe for a second. Dazed, he looked down at her. Smiling so innocently at him, the woman had no idea what her simple touches were doing to his starving body. Does she want him to take her right here, right now? Is that what she wants because that's what he would do if she continued to
Last Updated : 2023-12-31HIS SECOND CHOICE Date
"What?" he asked, sure his hormones were playing tricks on his ears. "Kiss me," Serena repeated for him, gazing gently into his eyes. After that, her eyes fluttered close in a silent plea for him to take the charge and devour her mouth to his liking. Her long dark lashes formed a crescent underneath her eyes. With a slight part of her full, pink lips, she beckoned him closer, stealing him of his breath. He loved it whenever she took the initiative. The air between them filled with an electric anticipation as Asher stared at her lips, enchanted. His own lips begging him to surrender to her invitation and surrender is what he did. Serena gasped, taken aback by the sheer force of his kiss as he slammed his mouth against hers- hard and rough. An electric shiver coursed through them, reaching up to their brain. He crushed his lips with his own, biting and sucking on them as if he had starved for her for million years. Serena was flattened against the tree, her tender breasts pressed tigh

"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

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
