All Chapters of Second Chance At Love: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

I stopped for a second, a grin spread across my face as I thought about what I’d do next. Finally, I said, “I need you to act out our first date but this time around, reverse the roles; you will be me while I will be you.”His eyebrows arched upwards with a surprise and some hint of amusement in his eyes. “Oh wow, that’s…ah…cute. You really want to watch me attempt to be you for a day?”I smiled and nodded excitedly. "Absolutely! I think that would be both funny and sweet. Plus, I'm curious to see how you remember that day from my perspective."He chuckled, shaking his head slightly. "Well, it would certainly be entertaining."After a moment, I couldn't contain my curiosity. "I'd really love to know what you would have asked for if you had won."Alex smirked. "You'll never know since I didn't win.""Oh, come on! Please tell me," I pleaded, giving him my best puppy-dog eyes.He raised an eyebrow. "Well, if you ask properly..."I dramatically cleared my throat and got down on one knee,

I suddenly woke up from the sound of the door hitting the doorpost and Ryan shouting in the bedroom."What is this? What the hell is going on here?" He was turning red with anger and his fists clenched up.I hastily sat up, pulling the covers over me, and looked over to Alex, my mind clouded by the previous night’s events. Our lovely evening and the most sensuous bath we had which turned into a love-making session, the most passionate we have ever had. We had fallen asleep in each other’s arms, satisfied. Now the harsh reality was crashing inAlex groggily blinked awake beside me. "Why are you shouting?" Alex mumbled, rubbing his eyes.Ryan's gaze darted between us, his jaw clenched. "Are you kidding me right now? You despised this woman, and now you're in bed with her?"Alex stood up to use the bathroom, but Ryan grabbed his arm. "How could you take advantage of her like this?""Nobody took advantage of me," I finally spoke, my voice trembling slightly.Ryan turned to me, his eyes fi

"Sophie, why do you always choose to go head-to-head with people who are clearly more powerful than us? Why?" Mom said, her voice breaking as tears streamed down her face.My heart crushed at the sight of her. "I'm so sorry, Mommy. I promise I will fix this.""How?" she cried, her eyes burning with rage and terror. "If anything happens to my grandbaby because of your selfishness, I will never forgive you." With those harsh words, she walked away, leaving me astonished and guilty. It was the worst possible moment for Alex to call, and I found myself torn between answering and ignoring it. Thinking of what I was putting my family through because of him, I declined the call and hurried after my mother as we made our way home in tense silence."We could call Celine and stay at her house," Mom suggested, her voice flat."Wouldn't that be inconveniencing her? She only has one room, and there are three of us. It wouldn't be right," I replied, trying to be practical."Then what do you sugges

I settled into my desk grateful for the moment of solitude. The incident with Mia was still fresh in my mind but I swiftly decided to erase the unpleasant event and proceed with the day's plans. I was busy browsing through my phone, checking messages and emails I had received while I was away when the door opened.I glanced up to see Alex walking in, he has this dominating air about him all the time that makes my heart flicker“Good morning, Mr. Hernandez,” I uttered in a very clear tone as I set my phone aside.”The hint of a smile appeared in the corner of his mouth. “Well, it is ‘babe’ for you,” he whispered.Seeing the sparkle in his eyes, I found myself smiling back at him; the comforting feeling enveloping my chest.He paused by my desk for a moment before continuing to his office. I tried to focus on pulling up his schedule for the day but found my eyes continually drawn to his door. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity I heard his voice through the intercom."Sophie, pl

I was lying on the couch, aimlessly changing channels on the large TV when I remembered something. “Mom," I yelled, twisting to look in her direction "Yeah?" She appeared holding a half-eaten apple in her hand. "I forgot to mention earlier that Alex is coming by later to take me to see the new place he got for us."Mom’s eyebrows shot up. "Wait, what? A new place? When did this happen?"I couldn't help but smile at her reaction. "He mentioned it yesterday when we were at the park with Dawson. He intended for it to be a surprise. "Uhm, what a man," Mom exclaimed as she sat next to me. "Any idea where this place might be?I shook my head. “Not at all. He said he would rather show than tell.”"Oh, Mr. Mysterious," Mom teased, pushing me with her elbow. "Reminds me of your dad, you know. He loved his surprises too."A familiar ache bloomed in my chest. "I miss him every day," I said softly.Mom's eyes glistened. "Oh, baby. You don't know how much it takes, waking up each morning knowi
