All Chapters of A SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CEO: Chapter 51 - Chapter 59

“Calm down, Adi. I can’t hear you,” Lacey said into the phone. She’d been having a chill time with Jonathan after he drove her and her mother home. They had been talking about random things, and somehow, it wasn’t weird that Jonathan was in her mother’s house. But then her phone rang, and it was Adi saying a lot of words she didn’t understand. “Lace, I asked where you were? Are you at JT Entertainment?”This time, she clearly heard him. With furrowed brows, Lacey responded, “No. Why? Do you need me to do something for you?”“No. No.” Adi’s voice sounded frantic. “It’s not that. It’s just…” As he hesitated, Lacey raised her gaze to see what Jonathan was up to on the other side of the room. Surprisingly, she found a grave expression on his face as he stared right at her. When he saw her looking his way, his features seemed to crumple in apology. Before Lacey could get confused about what was going on, she heard Adi’s voice through the phone. “What did Thomas do to you at the company?

“Are you willing to fight?”It wasn’t the first time since meeting the woman that Lacey was left stunned, but this topped all those other moments. Jamie’s words made her heart beat faster. As part of it was from trepidation, but another part of it was the excitement that things could actually turn around. Jamie was right. If she let it go again this time, what was the assurance of a next time not happening? Would she have to spend the rest of her life looking back to make sure Thomas wasn’t catching up with her, ready to ruin her life one more time? In these past two years, he’d never been far from her though even after he was out of her life. Oh, is Thomas going to decide today to lie about me again? She had never fully stopped worrying about that. So, after a few moments of contemplation, Lacey came to a decision. Wearing a determined expression, she said, “I am going to fight. Thomas broke me once and almost ruined my life. I don’t want to let him do that again. But…” That was w

The moment Lacey pressed the upload button and sent out her post into the world, she turned off her phone as a flurry of emotions hit her hard, the predominant ones being, of course, excitement and fear. She’d already given her friend group a heads-up of what she was about to do so they wouldn’t be too surprised if they came across her post. They were her friends so they would be on her side, but if what Jamie said was true, then the post was going to reach a lot more people. People who only knew her because of Thomas, people who didn’t know the real her, people who would be quick to write off her words as lies, and maybe also people who would believe her and be on her side. The enormity of the situation made Lacey want to shovel herself under the blankets, and stay in the room until it all blew over. Not on Jamie’s watch though. When Lacey was about to retreat back into the room, the other woman stopped her. She was the mastermind behind Lacey taking the decision to fight against

Lacey quickly took in the presence of the three people standing at her door. She had been about to go into her room when she heard the sound of her keycode and went to check who it was. Since the only people who knew the code to her apartment were her mother and friends, she wasn’t all that surprised to find Sangah there. Except, there were two other people at the door. One face was unfamiliar, while the other person was a face Lacey seen earlier that day. Actually, he was the person she had wanted to reach out to the most. “Sangah, you’re back from South Korea?” “We flew in tonight. Holly and I were going to crash here. I thought you would still be at your Mum’s place.”Holly. Lacey’s eyes fell again on the beautiful woman whose arm was connected with Sangah’s elbow and smiled. Lacey took in her outfit of a flashy black dress and couldn’t help but wonder if she flew on the plane like that. “Holly?”“Holly.” Sangah turned a smile at the woman beside her. “Holly is my girlfriend. Ho

Even though Jonathan didn’t get the chance to talk to Lacey, he wasn’t too bummed out by it after seeing that she wasn’t mad at him. She was back home safe, plus she had a friend to stay with her; those were enough for him. Upon getting back to his Penthouse, the first thing he did was go through his mails. Tomorrow, he was meeting with Director Jada Reign, and he wanted to make sure that she hadn’t sent an email canceling after the news his company was embroiled. Thankfully, there was no mail of cancellation, which meant they were still on for tomorrow. Jada had picked their meeting location; a newly opened fine dining restaurant Jonathan had never been to before called Maria. According to her, while she was in Italy, she had food made by the chef, and wanted to check out his new place. Jonathan didn’t protest. Jonathan found it a little weird that she wanted to go to a fine dining restaurant in the morning, but he kept that to himself.There were also a couple messages from his pa
