HIS SECOND CHOICE Disdainful Look
Serena woke up to his familiar scent. Smiling, she inhaled deeply and snuggled more into his warm, broad chest. His mouth trailed along her forehead, peppering soft kisses. She moaned in weak protest and reached up with her hand to cover his mouth. He kissed the center of her palm. She lifted her face and looked up at him groggily. "Good morning, sweetheart," he mumbled against her palm, returning her gaze with boundless affection. Her lips spread into a lazy smile. But the memories rushed back, causing her smile to freeze before vanishing altogether. Asher's smile dropped too and anxiety took over him.Serena recoiled from his hold as though he wasn't worthy of her touch before bolting up and leveling him with a glare. "I don't like it when you touch me. So do not lay your hand on me ever again," she scowled at him. Hurt flickered in Asher's eyes. She was being cruel. Throwing the comforter away, she got off the bed and went into the bathroom. Asher leaned against the bedpost and

Just when their lips were about to be touched, he paused. Overcome by nervousness, Serena inhaled a deep breath, his intoxicating scent tantalizing her nerves. His eyes moved between her eyes and mouth suggestively. "Not like my touch?" he questioned in a sensual whisper, drawing her attention to his very kissable lips. Her mouth unconsciously parted in subtle appreciation as she stared at the smooth curve of his lips. Primal desire surged within her. A part of her wanted him to eliminate all distance between them. With great effort, she tore her gaze away from his lips to his eyes. Her husband known for his cold demeanor had suddenly transformed into a determined seducer. The indecent glint in his eyes made it difficult for her to breathe. She was so charmed by his seduction that she didn't even realize when he removed her hands from her clothed breasts. It was lost on her as to when he reached behind her back and unhooked her bra all the while holding eye contact with her. It was
Last Updated : 2023-12-23HIS SECOND CHOICE Earning Her Forgiveness
Asher had gone through a lot of trials and tribulations in his life but none compared to what he was facing right now. He was at his wit's end now. He didn't know how to make her see the truth. To make her see how much she meant to him. Two days had passed since their last interaction. She was avoiding him like a plague. He tried to reach out to her but she had ruthlessly shot down all his efforts. This much anger? Serena had never been this mad at him. They had never slept on different beds no matter how angry they were with each other. He hadn't slept a wink in the last two days and judging by the dark circles under her eyes, he could tell she was just as much in pain. She was being cruel to both of them. Does she even know how much her ignorance was affecting him? She might not need him but he needed her. He needed her like a heart needs a beat. But today he wasn't going to give up until he talked to her.After coming home from work, he made his way straight to the greenhouse whe

The staff watched him astounded as he staggered his way in through the door, gaze fixated on his wife. Serena assessed him with horror written all over her face. His shirt was stained with blood. His blood. His face was nearly unrecognizable with all the bruises and blood. He wasn't even able to walk properly. Who dared to do this to him? He had fought today. The answer clicked her instantly, causing a pang to grip he heart. He has no more regards for their promises too. He knows she hates it when he fights and still. Her concern hardened into anger as she met his hopeful gaze with her glare. If he thinks, he can manipulate her by pulling a cheap stunt like this then he had another thing coming. His face fell and hurt flashed in his eyes when she simply walked away as though his pain didn't affect her anymore. He stared after her retreating back, a searing ache clutching at his already suffering heart. Serena paced the length of her room, hands wringing together as she wondered
Last Updated : 2023-12-25HIS SECOND CHOICE No Mercy
From his car's window, Asher spotted a teen couple waiting at the bus stop. They were laughing, too lost in each other to pay mind to the world around them. As it was downpouring the guy was drenched from head to toe, whereas the girl was untouched by the rain. Asher smiled to himself as memories rushed back. They reminded him of them. He was crazy for her right from the beginning, wasn't he? Only it took him a little longer to realize it. He adored everything about her; from her sweet smile to her cute frowns but it was her endearing stutters that had him on his knees for her. Whenever she stutters, he is hit by this fierce urge to shelter his innocent angel from the world and love her without restraint. Smiling, he clicked the picture of the young couple and sent it to his wife as the car propelled forward towards the office. Spotted them on my way to the office. Do they remind you of us too? I can bet the boy is down bad for this girl without him realizing...... like I was for yo
Last Updated : 2023-12-26HIS SECOND CHOICE Board Meeting
A frown settled upon his brows as he assessed her look for today. She was descending the stairs, donning a tight gray mini-dress. The fabric hugged her curves like second skin and exposed her cleavage. The line of his mouth tightened in strong disapproval. The dress was revealing and he didn't like it. "Is that what you are wearing for the meeting? What about the dress I gave you?" he couldn't hide his irritation. "I donated that to a church. And yes, I am wearing it today. Felt like changing my style a bit," she replied casually. Her mouth curved into a triumphant smirk when she caught a familiar tick in his jaw as he reassessed her appearance. His gaze lingered on her low neckline and his brows furrowed deeper at the sight of her cleavage. "You can't wear it. We are going to a meeting, not some party," he asserted, barely able to control himself."I am the owner of Sera Enterprises. I can wear a party dress to a meeting and make others do the same if I want to. No one can ques
Last Updated : 2023-12-27HIS SECOND CHOICE Night
She gulped down the last bottle of alcohol but nothing was helping douse the inferno exploding within her. She was sitting on the floor with her back against the wall, her legs stretched out.She was angry. Mad angry. He almost killed her for that moocher. He compared her to that ugly fucking tramp. She confessed her love to him and he humiliated her. She was better than Serena in every fucking way then how could he turn her away for that worthless bitch? Shanice was hurt. Asher had hurt her really bad this time, he had wounded her ego. But Shanice wasn't the one to sit back and do nothing. She will have her revenge. Serena had called her a homewrecker, didn't she? She will destroy her home in the worst possible way. Her resentment for Serena and Asher had reached the point where she had no regard for the consequences anymore. She knew she was going to go down anyway but she will take them down as well. "You will regret it, Asher Carter. You will fucking regret rejecting me," she thu

Being the wife of a business tycoon comes with its own set of responsibilities, one of them being an ever-ready host. One of Asher's business partners from overseas was coming over for dinner tonight. Serena was used to hosting such dinners by now but it would be a lie if she said they had stopped giving her jitters. As the guests were from China, she chose to wear a qipao dress for the occasion. She had done minimum makeup and was now applying gloss to her lips when a message flashed on her screen. We are hereThe message read. It was from an unknown number which wasn't unknown to her anymore. After reading the message, she hastened towards her window and caught his car rolling in through the main gate. Returning to the mirror, she gave herself a once over. Once she was satisfied with her appearance, she quickly made her way out of her room. Asher strolled in through the door with a couple trailing behind him. A gentle smile spread across Serena's face as she made her way toward

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
