All Chapters of Second chance at happiness: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Mira seemed to be stuck in her nightmare. She woke up the next day on the cold ground of the apartment. The same spot she fainted at the day before when Jason kicked her down. She knew she couldn’t wait for Jason and had to get someone to help her father. The first person she thought of was her godfather even though she hadn’t spoken to him in years. Although her godfather had the façade of a farmer, she knew that, that was not all he was about. She borrowed money from her neighbors who were also her companions in the last 6 months. Although they were also scrapping the bottom of the bowl to make ends meet, none of them hesitated to lend Mira all the coins they had even though they knew that Mira would never be able to pay them back. What they didn't know was, that this was the last time they would see her. It was said that the onlookers understood better; Yes, they understood the fallacy of Mira’s lover’s love, but they weren’t heartless to point it out and tear the poor girl’s he

Hours earlier- The Sleghs decided to end the workday at 10 and start the feast for all workers. Office workers had a different area to farm hands and outdoor workers. The masters often mingled in both areas to improve their image among the workers. There was a reason to start the celebration early, the Sleghs were not a generous bunch. Old master’s shrewd mind was behind this. He had heard from Lotta that Jack and Mira came to the city together on Friday. He didn’t want to take a chance to create an opportunity for Jack to escape and deny his daughter her last chance. This early arrangement was on the off chance that Jack had arranged with Mira to come early. He had checked with Jack’s supervisor and was informed that Jack had only stayed for 10 or 15 minutes in the previous years. Jack packed up and went to toast his supervisor and request permission to leave. The three Slegh masters came up to the supervisor just as Jack finished toasting. “Won’t you toast a drink with us?” Cole

Mira sobbed as she kept whispering her fears as she kissed him for the last time as she steeled her mind; In desperation, Mira transported them into her space. She raised her head as she felt the grass. Her eyes filled with hope as she remembered the hot spring and the healers’ words…. “Warm him inside out…” She carried him with great difficulty stopping and falling all the way to the hot spring. She took the house key out of his pocket and gently immersed him in the hot spring before taking of her cloths and joining him. She hugged him tightly trying to warm him and also in an effort to keep his body up to his neck fully immersed in water with the exception of his head. Her eyes started to fill with hope as she saw his lips regaining color. She stayed with him till he regained consciousness. How long? She didn’t know. “Love?” Jack called weakly as her hot tears which never stopped kept wetting his face. “Husband….” Mira called out excitedly “Your awake.” She smiled through her tear

Mira had lots to do. She closed the door, locked it and went to the room to check on Jack. He was truly exhausted… he was sleeping. She tucked him in with the blanket and entered space to start on his coat. She patterned the embroidery envisioning a two-piece coat set. The pattern she decided on was one that was not popular in her country. It was a picture she had seen in the house of the ambassador of far east island in her previous life. She loved the explanation the lady of the house gave her… this flower… known as cherry blossom symbolizes the everlasting friendship and love in a life that is fleeting. She tried to reconstruct the picture in her head as she started to work on the design. For the suit coat, the whole of the cloth was embroidered branches filled with cherry blossom flowers; On the left flap of the coat, slightly on the side of the chest she embroidered two love birds resting their heads together. The vest was embroidered with cherry blossom flowers connected by bran

Next, they stopped at Aldrin’s shop. Mira needed a lot of materials. She got herself a few large rolls of silk threads of different colors, a few different shades of green, red, grey golden, silver, pink, 10 marks of yellow beads, 5 marks of two shades of orange 5 marks each of reflective metal bits that were line shaped in green, brown, red, different shades of blue, white, orange and yellow color and 10 marks of small white pearls. They were also smaller rolls of various colors. “Did we rob the treasury?” Aldrin looked in shock at the generous amount of things Mira took. Mira rolled her eyes. Almera and Thomas didn’t come, they were sitting in the carriage debating whether Almera should wear what Mira suggested. Thomas was brave to fight a losing battle… He still hung up his sword with dignity, not feeling embarrassed in the slightest at losing. “Seriously… do you know how much this is going to cost you?” Aldrin still couldn’t believe it. “Are you not going to tell me?” Mira aske
