A SECOND CHANCE IN LOVE: A MARSHMALLOW LOVE
The words echoed, a promise she wore like a blindfold.
“Give me a chance to prove to you that love is beautiful.”
Kensington Darley had believed him. At twenty-six, she was the beautiful, trusting daughter of a gilded cage, and she had willingly traded her own life’s map for the one drawn by her boyfriend. His choices became her destiny; his whispered needs, her sacred law.
Until the moment his love demanded her degradation.
He didn't ask her to empty a savings account. He didn't ask her to sell the family jewels. He asked for her body, for her dignity, to be sold piece by devastating piece.
The debt.
It was a cold, unforgiving beast, and the only currency powerful enough to silence it was Kensington's unwilling performance in front of a camera. Every forced smile, every feigned moan, was a knife-edge decision she made in the name of love. She despised the spotlights, the sterile sets, the shame that clung to her like cheap perfume—but she did it.
Because she loved him.
But as she watches the man she is saving—the man who allowed her to be lost—a single, poisonous question begins to bloom in the darkness of her despair:
Does he love her back?
If the answer is no, what becomes of a woman who has sacrificed everything for a lie? And how will Kensington Darley ever learn to trust a single word, let alone love, again?

Chapter: 41 Alejandro wasn't expecting the question. His lips hung apart. He can't tell how having a mother felt. He lost touch with that feeling when his mother began to live recklessly. When it was just him, his mother and grandfather, he loved it. It felt like family. After his grandfather's death, his mother became reckless. She took over the family's business and began to live carelessly. Alejandro was influenced by her lifestyle. He followed her step but soon began to realize that life wasn't rewarding and soon he quitted."It's wonderful. Mothers are a safe haven," He explained without noticing the tiny tears dripping down her eyes.“I didn't feel that. I never had a safe haven." Alejandro was touched. His heart melted with pity and love.“I am your safe haven," Alejandro stretched his hands to her.“You are safe with me, Kenzie," He kissed the back of her hands. She felt flutters and chuckled, more tears poured down her eyes, “Thank you. For choosing me even in my worst." Aleja

Chapter: 39“I love him, Laura. So stop speaking ill of him,”Kensington warned."Excuse me,” She turned to her room. She slammed the door shut and sat on the bed fuming with anger.**** Alejandro was surprised to meet his uncle in his house. "Why are you here?” Alejandro stripped off his jacket, he flung it on the couch and entered the kitchen."Why weren't you at work?” Javier returned, tapping his fingers gently on the couch. Alejandro chuckled, " Did you think it was an empty threat?”"Threat? Oh, you thought I took that as a threat." “Then why are you here?" Alejandro returned the question. Javier broke into a chuckle. “Kids grow quickly. Alejandro, I took you in when you fled from your mother. You don't have the right to question my actions?" “If your actions seem to affect the ones dear to my heart, then I think I have the right to question you." Javier stared intensely at the back of Javier's head. He was returning witty answers. Alejandro has been a reliable hand for him at the

Chapter: 38 Her knees went wobbly. She managed to pull herself into an empty space. Her heart was beating quickly. Alejandro doesn't deserve her. She wasn't worth his love, time and affection. She was as good as trash. She splashed water over her face. Tears spurred out of her eyes. Staring at herself in the mirror, she saw a broken form with eyes drooping. She took deep breaths multiple times. When she felt she was ready to step out, she returned to meet Alejandro. She noticed his smile was gone..“Hey, I'm sorry I took a long time," she flashed an apologetic beam. He flicked his hand, “It's fine." They finished up their food. They walked down to the garage. Alejandro opened the car's door while she entered. He entered as well and drove out of the eatery. He stopped a few meters away from her home. Kensington noticed a drop in his mood.“Alejandro, Is everything fine? Is there a problem?" She asked with a firm voice, a part of her fretted because she felt he must have found out her se

Chapter: A BUSY AND SELFISH MOM Ethan held his cheek. Her eyes sunken and his face was morose. The silence in the room was thick, so thick that the air became heavy. Her lips trembled and her hands quivered as they dropped by her sides. Ethan turned his back against her. The pain searing on his cheek burned deep into his head. “Are you leaving me for…him?” His voice broke at the end. He was afraid this day would come. A day when Gina will choose the father of her children over him. His heart shattered again. Gina took a deep breath, "Ethan You are making things difficult for us. You have Zendaya and Margaret. They need you.” She tried to explain but Ethan wasn't having it. He felt a bitterness brewing deep inside him."And who do you have? Jace?” He questioned, his voice raised slightly. "You are drawing attention…" Gina begged, her eyes set on the door. The manager could walk in at any time. His voice was blowing out of the room.“I don't care. I don't care." With that he stormed away filled with

Chapter: WE LOVE UNCLE JACE Her words held Gina at a spot. Her hands tightened around the spoon, the metal pierced into her flesh. "Yes, Mom. He is a good man." Amelia concurred, chewing gently on her food. "Yes, he is," Gina mumbled, she felt a prick in her chest. She was pushing him away. She didn't like the way her heart races each time he is close to her. She wants to kill the butterflies that always swarm in her each time she sets eyes on him. "Mom, I want to go with Uncle Jace," Arnold squeaked, sipped water and jumped down his chair. He picked his bag and flung it over his shoulder. "No, Arnold..." Gina rose to her and ran after him. She held his hands and pulled him back to the dining table."We have to wait for your sisters." She said with a nervous beam. Amelia and Annabelle ate a few morsels of their food and drank water. Together, they began to walk out of the house. Jace was waiting at the doorway. He had this signatory smile and his hands buried in his pockets. "Ready??" He beamed at them.

Chapter: MOVING ON Gina was dumbstruck. He was actually waiting for her return. What gave him such hope? Her gaze glided through his. He exhaled, letting his hands loose from his pocket, scooted to the windows. He pulled them open and gently croaked, "Goodnight, Gina." He turned around and swept out of the room. Gina's heart thudded loud and clear. Goosebumps filled her skin, she felt alone. She trained her eyes on the door which Jace had just walked out of. His name lingered in her throat, she wanted to scream out his name and call out to him to spend the night with her. Fighting down the urge to have him by her side, she recoiled into bed. Exhaling gently, she folded her hands behind her head and snapped her eyes shut. In a little while, she was drifting to sleep. She felt cozy and warm all through the night.~~~~ The shrill chirp of the birds fluttering in the window woke her from sleep. She opened her eyes to see a serene and tranquil atmosphere. She was feeling light headed. While she was

Chapter: MEETING HIM AGAIN She drove down to the address. The building afar looked like one she knows. It felt like she had lived there for a few years. Although, It looked quite different with a different painting. She drove into the vast compound.With her chest pounding, she walked up the doorstep and rang the bell. She waited shortly as she heard some shuffling of feet. The door was pushed open. An old lady having grey hair over her head and slightly bent over appeared from the other side of the door. Gina froze. A wave of familiarity struck her."Lady Deborah??" She mumbled, running her eyes over the old lady. She was right, this is Jace's house, the one she lived in for some years. The old lady squinted, she pulled her glasses from her dress. When she wore them, her face brightened. A smile poked up to her face, "Lady Gina!!" Gina smiled and hugged the old lady. That feeling of warmth she always felt when she hugged her was still there. Lady Deborah stood as a mother to her."I can't believe it. I

Chapter: MISSING KIDS 51~~~~7PMA gentle tap on the table broke into her day dream. She jolted from sleep, sleep disappearing from her eyes. She scanned the room, it was getting dark out there. She found the environment quite strange. Then, it struck her as she recalled that she was still at her workplace. Her eyes drifted to the wall clock. It was past seven pm. "Seven??" She jumped from her chair. Her heart flew right into her chest when she remembered she hadn't picked her kids from school. Hurriedly, she picked her bag, car key and every other thing she felt she needed. The mall was quite full with people busily getting things they needed. The mall attendants had shocked expressions on their faces when they saw her. She ran past them without saying a word to them. She reached for her car. She started the ignition, ran her hands through her face. "Oh, no," Her voice quavered. She drove first to the kids' school. There were no kids around the school. Every classroom was locked. She met just t

Chapter: A BETTER CHOICE Ethan's shoulders rose and fell in defeat as he stood before the children's room. Sadly, he turned back to the room. Just as he was about to turn the door knob, the door snapped open. Zendaya's face popped up. The woman that ruined the family he was trying to set up. Rage rose to climax within him. She had a conceited smile as she embraced him. She made way and he walked in. She placed her hands on his shoulders and rubbed them tenderly. She held his tie and undid it. All the while, Ethan was trying to constrain himself from going mad but the lady before him just couldn't see it. "We have to enroll Maggie in a new school," her smiles got bolder and wilder. His chest twisted in hurt. "Happy?" He blurted staring bloodily into her orbs. She froze. She felt a torrent of fear flow through her body but she masked it with a smile."I'm excited, Ethan..." She heaved and kissed his cheek, "Finally, Maggi gets to have her own family." Zendaya drew a soft breath and flicked her eyes cl
