Hey guys, I wanted to tell you something. Two years ago, I wrote a book. It is a short (at most 100 chapters) second chance romance. I was thinking of psoting it here. What do you guys think?
After an entire month since his accident, Sebastian finally opened his eyes. As if Charlotte’s life wasn’t dramatic enough, she soon discovered that Sebastian had lost his memories. The only thing he seemed to recall was that he was married to the love of his life. A week had passed since he woke from his coma and Charlotte was still struggling to adjust to this new reality. Sebastian with a radiant smile that could make anyone’s heart ache, said to her, “Wifey, when can we go home? I am so tired of being here. I want to sleep on our bed, hug you, and just be with you.” Charlotte would only smile in response while hiding the turmoil in her heart. She glanced down at the ring on her finger and sighed. This was her reality now. She had taken on the responsibility of caring for him, even if the man she was looking at wasn’t entirely the same. The doctors assured her that his amnesia was temporary and a result of both physical and psychological trauma. His memories would return
“Leon?” Sia’s voice trembled with surprise and excitement as she spotted him standing at the door of her study. Without hesitation, she ran to him while wrapping her arms tightly around his waist. “You heartless man! You went on a business trip for a whole week! Did you even miss me?” “I’m sorry, Sia baby. I’m a bad man,” he murmured, pulling her closer and kissing her cheek. “I’m sorry. Next time, I’ will take you with me.” She pouted, muttering, “What would I even do there?” He smiled, his voice soft and affectionate. “Stay with me all day. Who cares what place or task it is, as long as we are together.” Her lips curled into a contented smile and she nodded, looking every bit like a satisfied child who had just been given her favorite treat. “I love you, Leon,” she whispered. The words were rare and reserved for moments that carried her true and raw emotions. He pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead. “I love you more, Sia baby.” Without another word, Leon scooped her i
After spending the entire night with Sia, Leon decided it was time to visit his parents, whom he hadn’t seen in two weeks. When he arrived, the house was lively as usual. Along with Nicholas and Anne, Rhys, Callum, Abella, and his grandparents, Ellora and Nikolai, were all gathered around the table. It was a joyous occasion for the family to be under the same roof. “Dad, can you take over for a month?” Leon asked, leaning against the doorframe. Well, if he had to be gone for over a month, he needed capable hands to look after his work. Who did he trust more than Nicholas Hart himself? Nicholas raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed. “Do I look stupid to you?” Why on earth would he want to return to that cold office building? He recalled the time when the kids were young and he would find all the opportunity to not go to work. He had waited a lot for his retirement. There was no way, he was going back to work! “It’s just a month,” Leon persisted, his tone almost pleading. Nich
Sia had just wrapped up her work at the office when her phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, she raised a brow in surprise. Softening her tone, she answered, “Hello?” “Hi, Sia,” came Abella’s slightly nervous voice. “Are you busy?” Sia glanced at the clock, noting the upcoming meetings on her schedule. But she brushed them aside and replied warmly, “Not at all. Just finished my work.” “Cool!” Abella sounded a little more at ease. After a brief pause, she asked hesitantly, “Would you like to go shopping with me?” Sia blinked, momentarily caught off guard. Abella was usually reserved and rarely expressed her wishes so openly. The invitation felt like a rare and meaningful step. “Of course,” Sia said, her voice full of encouragement. “When do you want to go?” “Now?” Abella suggested tentatively. “Perfect,” Sia agreed. “Where are you? I will come pick you up.” “I’m at my dorm. Can you come here?” “Absolutely,” Sia assured her. With that, they ended the call. Sia turned to
Sia smiled widely at Abella and gave her an encouraging pat on the back. “I like it, girl,” she said with genuine warmth. Abella lowered her head, her voice tinged with embarrassment. “I’m sorry. I just… I made the plan, but they ditched me because Cade was interested in me. And, well, Leslie has a crush on him too. You know… the usual college drama.” Sia tilted her head sympathetically but kept her tone light. “I’m glad you ended up spending the evening with me instead. Those people made you cry, and they don’t deserve your energy. You should let them know you don’t care about what they think. You have got people who care about you, and tonight, we are going to have a lot of fun! You are in college, and there is no curfew.” Abella muttered with a small pout, “I still can’t drink until I’m 21.” Sia laughed. “I will show you how to have fun without needing a drop of alcohol. Trust me, tonight is going to be unforgettable.” And it was. The two spent the evening laughing, tal
After a few days of silence, Charlotte was nowhere to be seen. Leon had been patient, giving her the space he thought she needed to handle whatever was going on in her life. But as weeks turned into a month with no sign of her, he had had enough. He grabbed his phone and called her. She picked up just as it was about to go to voicemail. Her tired face appeared on the screen. “What’s up, little brother?” she asked, her tone lacking its usual energy. “Charlotte Hart, where the hell are you?” Leon snapped. “Somewhere on Earth. Why? What happened?” she replied nonchalantly, though her eyes betrayed exhaustion. Leon’s frown deepened. “Do you know how frustrating you are? You told everyone you were painting, but this doesn’t look like your apartment, and you look like crap.” He paused, taking a closer look. Her hair was longer, browner, and wavy which was completely different from her usual style. His brows furrowed as something else caught his attention. “Wait a minute… are you
“Sia?”“Hmm,” he murmured in reply, feeling his finger trailing along her shoulder. The rays of the sun bathed her body as they lay near the sea. They were on one of the private beaches in the Philippines, one of the most breathtaking places she had ever seen. For the past three days, they had been travelling. The first two days were filled with adventure, but today was a much-needed lazy day for both of them.“I think you need sunscreen,” Leon said, his voice low and teasing. “Hmm,” she replied, her eyes still closed. She felt him scooping sunscreen into his hands, the cool sensation was contrasting with the heat of his palms as he began smoothing it over her body. His touch lingered as he worked the lotion into her neck while gliding down her back, tracing every curve and dip with deliberate care. Then his hands moved lower, over her hips and along her legs. Just as she thought he was done, his hands reversed course and they have begun gliding upward with an unhurried sensuality. S
The lovebirds were truly basking in each other’s company. Leon had planned a perfect evening, starting with a romantic sunset walk along the beach as their feet were sinking into the soft sand as the waves kissed the shore. Later, they moved to a cozy candlelit dinner he had arranged just for her. The gentle glow of the candles was reflecting in her eyes as he sat in front of her. “Leon,” Sia’s soft voice broke the serenity as she called his name. “Yes?” he responded, his gaze meeting hers with warmth. “Let’s play a game,” she suggested, her lips curving into a playful smile. “Okay, which game are we playing?” Leon asked, tilting his head with interest. “Let’s play twenty questions,” Sia proposed. Leon chuckled. “Quite cliché, but fine,” he agreed. Since the moment felt too magical to let slip into silence, the game seemed like a fun way to keep the mood alive. She pouted in mock offense but pressed on, “Are you a sunrise or sunset person?” “Definitely a sunrise person,
Happiness had settled into the Hart family. The two pregnant women were treated like delicate glass, cherished and fussed over by everyone. Sia was six months along but barely looked a day over her first trimester, while Charlotte, at five months, had already popped and was unmistakably pregnant. While Sia’s pregnancy was challenging due to her health issues, Charlotte was in perfect health, glowing with happiness and vitality.Today, Sebastian brought Charlotte to her favourite food spot. She had been craving different foods all day. Sia had once joked that Charlotte was gaining more “food weight” than pregnancy weight which earned her an exaggerated glare from Charlotte.“Did you ask for an extra scoop of ice cream?” Charlotte asked, her eyes glowing with anticipation.“I sure did,” Sebastian replied with a knowing smile. “I may have even ordered a special dish you might like.”Charlotte beamed, her dimples deepened. “Aren’t you the best husband in the whole wide world?”He smirked.
Sia watched as Charlotte and Sebastian cried and laughed together while holding each other in pure joy. Sebastian had arrived with a huge bouquet for his wife, and the moment he saw her, he dropped to his knees and hugged her stomach, whispering over and over how happy and blessed he was to have her.Seeing them celebrate their love and impending parenthood made Sia emotional. Her best friend had finally found the love she truly deserved. Not wanting to intrude on their perfect romantic moment, she quietly walked back home with a soft smile on her lips.As she stepped inside, Leon was already there, waiting for her.“Hi,” Leon greeted. “Is everything okay?”Sia nodded, her eyes still glistening with happiness. “I am very happy. So happy that I cannot even put it into words.”Leon studied her face as warmth spread through his chest. “That is very good to hear. But would you like to tell me what happened?”She wrapped her arms around him while hugging him tightly. “Charlotte and Sebasti
Charlotte pulled something from her pocket and handed it to Sia. As Sia saw it, her eyes widened. She immediately hugged Charlotte. “You are pregnant?”Charlotte nodded, tears welling in her eyes.“Why are you crying?” Sia asked gently. “This is such happy news! Silly girl.” She paused before looking at Charlotte. “You do not want the baby? It is okay, I will not judge you.”Charlotte shook her head through her tears. “No, I do. I already love the baby. But we just got married after only a month of dating, and now a baby. He is not ready for that.”“Did he say that?” Sia asked.Charlotte shook her head. “No, but…”Sia rolled her eyes, smiling a little. “You are being silly. You both need to talk. If you do not talk to him and keep making assumptions, you will ruin your relationship. You need to talk to him.”Charlotte hesitated. “Now?”Sia nodded. “I think it is better to talk now. Otherwise, you will just end up crying more.”With a deep breath, Charlotte took her phone, put it on sp
Another month passed in the blink of an eye.Sia was now fourteen weeks pregnant. The doctors had assured her that the baby was healthy and it was only she who remained weak. With the end of her first trimester, her nausea and mood swings had subsided. She was finally feeling a little better and getting some much-needed relief.Despite being fourteen weeks along, she still had no visible baby bump. Her stomach remained as flat as ever, and she often joked about having an "invisible baby."Leon had completed his project in Switzerland, and the two of them had grown even closer. Living there had also strengthened Sia’s bond with Bella who had been a great support during her pregnancy. Now, the couple was finally ready to return home to New York.Charlotte had also returned from her honeymoon, and she and Sebastian were settling back into their home which was conveniently located right next to Sia and Leon’s.Throughout the flight, Sia and Leon discussed how they would break the news of
“Let’s talk,” Alisha said, her voice filled with determination. Since Sia already heard about her feelings, there was no point in hiding them. Instead, she wanted to have a woman-to-woman conversation. Sia raised an eyebrow, her tone casual. “What do we have to talk about?”Her attitude was saying that her little confession did not bother her. “About what you just heard…” Alisha tried to explain, her voice wavering slightly.Sia’s lips curled into a smile. “You like Leon. Even a puppy could tell. I just heard what I always knew. It didn’t bother me then, and it certainly doesn’t bother me now.”Did she even need Alisha’s confession to prove her claims? She was too damn smart to smell the danger from any side. Alisha frowned. “Aren’t you insecure?”Sia laughed lightly. “Insecure? About what?”“Are you pretending to be calm and collected, or is it real?” Alisha pressed.Sia arched an eyebrow. “What do you think?”This girl…she was quite amusing now, other times, quite annoying. Alis
The wedding had ended, and the newlyweds had set off on their month-long honeymoon. With them away, the family gradually fell back into their usual routines.Today, the Hart family had invited Carter and his daughter, Serafina, for a meal.Bella’s sharp eyes landed on a young girl talking to Callum. She immediately noticed the girl’s obvious crush on him. Callum, on the other hand, was polite but distant and his kindness was more out of courtesy than genuine interest."Is that your daughter?" Bella asked, turning to Carter.Carter smiled. "Yes, that’s my lovely Serafina."Serafina offered a soft shy greeting. “Hello.”Bella studied her for a moment before nodding approvingly. "What a gorgeous girl."At her words, both Anne and Sia turned toward her as they were intrigued by what was going on in Bella’s mind."What do you do, dear?" Bella asked.“I work in Miss Swift’s company,” Serafina answered.Bella raised an eyebrow and looked at Sia. “What is with you?”Sia just smiled knowingly.
Sia and Anne sat quietly at the table when Bella came to join them."Did you eat?" Bella asked Sia.Sia nodded."Did you eat?" Bella turned to Anne this time.Anne smiled. "Not yet.""Then, let’s have a proper mother-daughter meal together," Bella declared."Okay, Mom," Anne chuckled, gesturing to the waiter to serve them."Are you going to invite your husband?" Bella teased."I think he can manage on his own while I focus on my mother," Anne replied smoothly.Bella laughed and playfully pinched Anne’s cheek. "Cheeky brat."She then narrowed her eyes, studying Anne's face. "Are you using the face cream I sent you? You a're getting wrinkles. You are not supposed to get wrinkles! I’m your mother, but I look younger than you."Anne rolled her eyes. "What can I say, Mom? You are a beauty, and Dad ruined my genes.""You are right," Bella sighed dramatically. "But I still love you."Hearing this, Sia laughed out loud. "You two are adorable."Bella smiled proudly. As the food arrived, she ge
Now it was time for the bride to throw her bouquet. The bridesmaids and other excited girls stood in line, ready to catch it. As Charlotte tossed it into the air, the crowd cheered.One of Charlotte’s friends was about to grab it when suddenly, a figure dressed in black jumped up and caught it mid-air.Everyone turned in surprise as Leon stood there, holding the bouquet and laughing.“This is not fair!” Abella complained. She knows what he was upto but still felt very frustrated with him. Leon smirked. “Doesn’t matter.” Then, he walked over and handed the bouquet to Sia. She hesitated for a moment before shyly accepting it.“Just admit it, you are eager to get married,” Rhys teased as he yelled from the crowd.Leon only grinned, while Sia softly ran her fingers over the flowers with her head lowered and shyly smiling to herself.After the ceremony, the reception began. Charlotte had changed into another dress that allowed her to dance and enjoy the evening. She had her first dance wi
It was the kind of day every bride wished for. Clear skies, golden sunlight filtering through the trees, and a soft breeze carrying the scent of fresh blooms. The Hart house’s backyard had been transformed into a vision of timeless elegance that was adorned with cascading white floral delicate lace drapes, and twinkling fairy lights that danced with the wind. Every detail was perfect, just as it should be for a love story like theirs.The family had spent a great time planning and plotting every minor detail that made this day perfect for the couple. Charlotte stood at the entrance. She was a vision to behold in her vintage lace-detailed gown whose long sleeves added an ethereal grace to her already breathtaking presence. She looked as though she had stepped out of a classic love story her beauty was untouched by time. And Sebastian was no less than a prince charming made for the beauty. On either side of her stood two men who had loved her beyond this world. Her fathers—Nathaniel a
