A Second Chance at Lies Chapter 11
From then on, Casen made it his mission to stick close to me. He no longer said harsh things or pressured me into making any decisions.With my career taking off, I was often out from dawn to dusk. Casen would wait outside the apartment building, opening doors and pressing the elevator button for me when I pushed Leena out on the stroller in the morning. When I was too busy to eat during hectic shoots, he would drop off hot food at the door without intruding on my space. I didn’t so much as look at him. All the hurt in the past stung and burned. I couldn’t bring myself to give him a chance to get close to me. Late one night, Leena started burning up. Her cheeks were flushed red, and her breathing shallow. She sobbed until her voice gave out. It was raining heavily outside. Cradling the baby, I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t stock any medicine at home, and the hospital was far. It was impossible to get a cab in the middle of the night. As Leena’s cheeks burned red
A Second Chance at Lies Chapter 10
On that fateful day, I was pushing Leena in her stroller, walking out of the agency alongside Dave. We were talking about tomorrow’s scheduled shoot. “It’s probably going to be an early start for tomorrow’s shoot. We’ll begin filming at nine.” Dave scrolled through the calendar on his phone. “Uh-huh,” I responded nonchalantly. I paused the moment I looked up. Standing a short distance away was Casen. Gone was the sleek look he carried. His eyes were red-rimmed, and he seemed decades older. Spotting me, Casen froze and stared intently at me. He kept checking, unable to believe his eyes. The next second, he took quick paces toward me and cautiously embraced me, his voice trembling. “It’s you, Bonnie… You’re alive… I’m not dreaming… “Why didn’t you come back to Naples? Why did you cut off all contact?” He pulled me closer to his chest, his voice full of anguish and gruffness. “I’ve been looking for you for an entire year. I’ve tried everything. I thought you were gon

Casen stood there paralyzed. Snapping his head back, he looked Tyler in the eye. “What did you say?” Without a second delay, Tyler whipped out an international fashion magazine. The model on the cover glowed with confidence. “Look at the model. She’s a spitting image of Donna!” Casen stared at the cover, his fingers trembling. Tyler was right. The model was me. After faking my death, I traveled to Finland all on my own. I threw away every trace of my past to live for myself. During my downtime, I enjoyed taking a stroll along the streets, taking in the blue sky, the lake, and the avenues while being free from the weight of my thoughts. That day, I wandered the streets in a plain windbreaker when a soft voice suddenly called out from behind me. “Excuse me, sorry to bother you.” I looked back to see a well-dressed man, poised in his mannerisms. “I’m a talent scout, and you’ve got the look of a model. Would you be interested in doing a magazine cover?” All I
A Second Chance at Lies Chapter 8
From that day on, Casen was like a different person entirely. He stopped bringing me up, nor did he ever travel back to Sicily. No longer taking his anger out on Charlie, Casen put all his heart and mind into the family business. Observing the change, Charlie was secretly delighted. She was convinced that Casen had moved on from me and accepted reality. Charlie started bossing the staff around at the estate, carrying herself with the authority of a Donna. Every time Casen came home, Charlie would welcome him while cradling the newborn. On occasion, Casen would give her a distant acknowledgment. Charlie believed that things could only get better with time. Little did anyone know, Casen was just biding his time. A year went by. Out of nowhere, when nobody was expecting it, Casen launched a coup. He swiftly eliminated his secret rivals and overhauled the Morettis’ hierarchy of power from top to bottom.In mere days, Casen held absolute power. No one could ever def

The consiglieri deliberated through the night. They believed that Casen was too obsessed with the late Donna to resume his responsibilities to the family. To squash the scandal and protect the Moretti name, they arrived at an important decision. The next morning, Charlie was invited into the Moretti estate. Sitting on the sofa, Mario wore a solemn expression. “Charlie, you and your child will live in this manor from today onward. We will push Casen into giving you a wedding.” Taken aback at first, Charlie quickly teared up and put on a grateful look. She choked with sobs, “Thank you, Consigliere. Thank you for accepting me…” Keeping her head down, Charlie wiped her tears. However, she had a hard time wiping the smirk off her face. That afternoon, she moved into the estate. The butler took her on a tour around the property. Eventually, he pushed the door to a room. “This is Donna’s room.” Standing at the door, Charlie stared at the spacious and bright bedroom. Envy

Caught off guard by Casen’s coldness, Charlie grew bitter. She lowered her gaze to the sleeping infant, Casen’s statement replaying in her mind. “My wife will always be Bonnie.” “Bonnie…” Charlie hissed through clenched teeth, resentment flickering across her eyes. “Even after you’re gone, you’re still a major pain in my ass.” She took a deep breath, and her eyes narrowed dangerously. Since Casen refused to give her her place, she’d take it by force. That afternoon, Charlie contacted the media who had been keeping a close eye on the Morettis, leaking the news of her premature labor and the birth of Casen’s son. She even hinted that she and Casen had been together for some time, and the child was the rightful heir to the family. The story became a viral sensation overnight. #TheMorettiHeirIsBorn#DonMorettisChildOutOfWedlock#NewWomanAndBabyRightAfterWifesDeathThe public felt bad for me and criticized Casen’s infidelity, all the while speculating about his new
