All Chapters of HIS SECOND CHOICE: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Asher woke up to the enticing aroma of pancakes.He instinctively touched his throbbing head and sat up. As he breathed in the aroma, he looked around and realised he was alone in the room."Good Morning," Serena entered the room carrying a tray full of pancakes, a mug of hot coffee, and a bowl of mac and cheese. Asher watched her, feeling warmth spreading throughout his insides as she approached him with the sweetest smile on her face. Her positivity both dazzles and confuses him. He still could not understand how she was always this happy and positive. Where does she get so much positivity from? She was a beacon of light and owned the purest soul in this world. How she was so untouched by the cruelty of this world was beyond him. His thoughts came to an abrupt halt when his gaze absently slipped to the soaking front of her t-shirt. Something stirred within him as his eyes trailed over the outline of her bra. The images of her half-concealed cleavage flooded his mind. They had looke

Asher got up from his chair and walked towards the window a hundred times. It was almost 11 and she hadn't come home yet. Once bustling street had now become almost deserted with only a few cars in sight. She had called him earlier to inform him that she would come late as today was one of her colleague's birthdays. Asher had offered to pick her up but she had refused saying her friend, Luna would drop her off. He didn't know she was talking about this late. As the minutes ticked by, his irritation grew. Suddenly, a black SUV turned the corner and slowed to a smooth halt right before their apartment. The passenger door opened not a moment late and Serena climbed out wearing a bright smile, causing him to frown. She closed the door and leaned on the window. Asher watched her as she said something to the driver before retreating and waving at the person. After that, she turned towards the entrance while the car rolled past the building. She raised her fist to knock on the door but b

Serena had ridden in many fancy cars before but none came close to the happiness she felt riding this outdated car with uncomfortable seats and an unattractive interior. For her, it was the most beautiful car in the world because it belonged to Asher. He stopped the car outside a diner. They climbed down and walked inside. The diner was almost full except for a couple of vacant spots. Asher led her towards the table in the furthest corner and pulled a chair for her. Even small gestures like these from him were enough to make her heart flutter like crazy. He had her completely down for him. He beckoned a waiter and Serena gave their order. While eating, Serena felt the heat of his gaze on her several times but felt too shy to look up and catch him red-handed. After dinner, he drove for about forty-five minutes an hour and eventually pulled over in the middle of a vast open space. She got down after Asher and looked around. The desolate place- flanked by treelines from three sides-

The world stilled around them as she crossed over to him and slapped him hard across his face. Her palm stung but his face didn't move a bit. The sharp sound resonated through the room, causing everyone to hold their breath in dreadful anticipation. Asher clenched his fists while glaring down at her. There was a crazed glint in his eyes making him look deranged. She couldn't help her eyes welling up as she matched his glare with hers. Asher's features softened when he noticed tears in her eyes. He loosened his fists and reached up to wipe her unshed tears but before he could even touch her, Serena stopped him by grabbing his hand in mid-air. Her gaze was hard and angry as it bored into his eyes. "Why?" she demanded. Asher's features turned stone cold again in response. "He deserved it," he answered unapologetically. Serena eyed him with disbelief. She was speechless. "He deserved to be beaten like this? Can you hear yourself?" she questioned incredulously and tossed his hand away.

Asher opened the door to find her standing in front of him. The girl with the tiniest frame in the world was frowning down at the floor. Without so much looking at him, she walked past him inside the apartment. Asher smirked and closed the door. Serena headed straight into her room. After closing the door in his face, she dragged her feet towards her bed and dropped her bag at the foot of her bed before collapsing down on the mattress. She sighed loudly, so much for ignoring him. She was planning on coming back after he realized his mistake. But it seemed fate didn't agree with her intention. That's okay. Even though she was here, she wouldn't talk to him. Asher was feeling this strange giddy sensation after finally having her here. He was happy and content. Now the house didn't feel lifeless any longer. Even though she was cold with him, her aura was still so warm and bright, suffusing the air with a warm golden color. After making some coffee for both of them, he headed towards th
