"Mom, I'm sleepy!" he mumbled, his voice barely audible above the engine's drone.I gently adjusted his position, making sure his seatbelt was secure and his head was resting comfortably against the headrest."You can sleep now, honey," I whispered, my voice soft enough not to disturb the other passengers."Thanks, Mom!" he replied, his eyes already fluttering closed. I watched as his small chest rose and fell with each breath, his face relaxed and peaceful.I reached out and gently stroked his hair, a familiar gesture that always seemed to soothe him. The rhythmic hum of the engine, the gentle rocking of the plane, and the soft warmth of my son's presence lulled me into a state of drowsiness.Before I knew it, I too had drifted off to sleep. The gentle sway of the plane and the soft m

Whispers of a Second Chance Chapter Sixty
1 year later…After a year of working together, Tyler decided to pursue his own entrepreneurial dreams and started his own company. Wedding planning in the final stages was incredibly stressful. Every decision felt monumental, from the smallest details of the table settings to the larger anxieties about the ceremony itself. But through it all, Laxus was my rock. His presence was a constant source of comfort and strength. He listened to my every worry, validated my feelings, and wholeheartedly supported every choice I made, no matter how impulsive or uncertain I felt."Is everything finalized?" Laxus asked, his voice low. I reread the crucial documents, a knot of anxiety tightening in my stomach. "I believe so," I replied hesitantly, offering him the papers. He shook his head gently. "No need. I have complete faith in your judgment," he said, his expression reassuring. Relief washed over me as I placed the papers on the table. His steady gaz

The waiter placed a chilled bottle of white wine on our small, round table, the condensation clinging to the glass like tiny diamonds. Laxus, his gaze sharp and unwavering, poured himself a glass, the liquid catching the candlelight as it swirled. The silence stretched, thick and heavy with unspoken tension. My throat tightened; a nervous cough escaped my lips, a pathetic attempt to break the suffocating atmosphere. He didn't flinch, his eyes still locked on me, a faint smirk playing on his lips. I rolled my eyes, the gesture small but defiant, and heard his low, amused chuckle vibrate through the air."Why the hostility?" Laxus's voice was low, a rumble that vibrated through the air as he gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind my ear. His touch, despite its tenderness, felt invasive. "Don't play coy," he added, his eyes glinting with something I couldn't quite decipher. "Hostility? I'm not being hostile!" I retorted, my voice sharp, a forced smirk

Another gunshot ripped through the air, the sound sharper, closer this time. It sent a fresh wave of icy terror through me. We waited, breath held, until the hesitant approach of uniformed figures broke the suffocating silence. Police officers, the ones who'd lagged behind, were finally making their way to the derelict house. My hands shook so violently I could barely grip them. The thought of Laxus alone, inside that decaying, sinister building, was a physical torment."No, no, no! What is going on?" I whispered, my voice barely audible above the frantic rhythm of my own footsteps as I paced back and forth. Tyler's attempts at reassurance felt hollow, his words lost in the maelstrom of my anxiety. "He'll be alright," he said, his hand resting lightly on my arm, but his eyes mirrored my own apprehension. The sight of the police officers filing out of the abandoned house – their shoulders slumped, their expressions etched with sorrow

"Security's already on its way to the house," Laxus said, his hand gentle in my hair. "I'm just going to file a report at the station." My heart hammered against my ribs. I shook my head, my gaze fixed on his. "Let me come with you." He cupped my face, his thumb brushing my cheek. The tenderness was a stark contrast to the grim set of his jaw. "No. Stay here. I'll make sure both you and Marco are safe. That's my promise." His voice was low, laced with a steely resolve that both reassured and frightened me. The unspoken threat hung heavy in the air – a promise he would keep, no matter the cost. I nodded, the fear a cold knot in my stomach, trusting him implicitly, even as doubt gnawed at the edges of my acceptance.The sound of the door closing echoed the hollowness in my chest. I turned to Marco, his small hand gripping mine. His eyes, wide with a child's innocent fear, mirrored my own unspoken anxieties. "Mom? What's happe

The sun, a molten gold spilling across the horizon, warmed my eyelids. I stirred, the soft weight of Laxus beside me a comforting pressure against my side. His breath, warm and even, ruffled the stray hairs on my cheek. Gosh! The sheer intimacy of it stole my breath. The scent of his skin, a clean, musky fragrance, filled my senses, a potent elixir that stirred a longing deep within me. I couldn't deny the pull, the undeniable want that bloomed in my chest like a forbidden flower. I shook my head, a silent reprimand to my racing heart, and quickly gathered my hair into a messy bun, trying to tame the chaos that mirrored my inner turmoil. As I pushed myself up, intending to escape the intoxicating closeness, Laxus's hand shot out, his fingers closing around my arm with a strength that both startled and thrilled me. He pulled me back, his body a warm, solid haven against mine."Let's just… stay here a little longer," Laxus whispered, his breath warm agains

After we got engaged, Laxus wasted no time in hiring a wedding planner, Grace. She expertly handled the myriad details of planning our wedding, a huge relief given my work commitments and responsibilities as a mother. I was able to participate where I could, but Grace's organization allowed me to focus on other important aspects of our lives.Laxus settled onto the plush couch in my office, Marco perched beside him. "So, weekend plans?" he asked, his voice a low rumble. The scent of his cologne, a familiar comfort, filled the air. I glanced up from my computer, a mountain of paperwork still looming. Marco tugged on my sleeve. "Mom?" he said, his voice small. "Where should we go?" I smiled, trying to convey warmth despite the pressure of deadlines. "It's entirely up to you, sweetheart," I replied, my fingers already flying across the keyboard. "The beach!" Marco declared, his eyes shining with excitement. A wave of longing washed ove
