Second chance at happiness Tomorrow would bring closure to a decade of guilt and agony…
Annemarie and Martin were the first to rush to Jack’s apartment at the break of dawn. Neither could sleep. They knocked on the door and waited outside just like they used to back at the manor. Both conveniently forgot that this was Southamberston castle and there was etiquette that needed to be followed. Luckily for them, neither Jack nor Mira cared.However, it wasn’t Jack that opened the door. It was Lael who was standing guard outside Alex’s room.“Cousin… he… “Martin scratched the back of his head with a sheepish smile. He felt embarrassed at his rashness looking at Lael’s haggard appearance.“Not yet… come on in.”Both Martin and Annemarie didn’t stand on ceremony and entered. They had been here countless times since they moved to Southamberston. Annemarie could be said to have been literally glued to Mira’s side whenever she was around. Neither felt any awkwardness and went to the small kitchen to get themselves a mug of Mira’s special hot drink concoction which was boiled barley
Second chance at happiness Once they decide on something, no one can change their minds.
Zelda and Esmeralda rushed in at the sound of Jerome’s roar. Their hurried steps slowed the moment they saw everyone’s expressions.The instant their eyes fell on Mira, their faces mirrored the same grim realization.Both Zelda and Esmeralda frowned deeply.“This child… what has she done now?” Esmeralda muttered as she stepped closer. She shook her head reproachfully. “Does she think she has nine lives like a cat?”Zelda stood silently beside them, her brows tightly drawn as she observed Mira while Esmeralda examined her condition.Esmeralda stepped back with a sigh, her lips pressed into a thin line. She could feel everyone’s eyes on her, yet there was nothing she could say to ease their fears.Seeing neither woman speak, Jerome finally called out anxiously, “Esmeralda?”“It seems she has exhausted nearly all of her life force,” Esmeralda said helplessly.It looked as though the young mistress had already been standing at death’s door… but Esmeralda didn’t have the heart to say it alo
Second chance at happiness Grandfather will have my hide sent to the jackals.
Upstairs, everyone settled into quiet comfort. Silence grounded them as they lingered over everything that had happened in the past few days… everything they had regained.Axel was the first to break the calm. He nudged Avril and gestured toward Katherine, who had fallen asleep leaning into her husband’s warm embrace.“Son, why don’t you take her upstairs?” Linus advised softly. “Today has been a lot to take in.”Alex hesitated. He didn’t want to let go.“I think Aunt is very comfortable,” Martin teased.That earned him a swift smack on the back of the head from his father and elder brother, while his mother shot him a warning glare.He also earned a few whistles, namely from Axel and Aengus, while the others chuckled quietly.Alex blushed faintly but quickly regained his composure. “She might not be used to waking up alone in an unfamiliar place after all these years,” he said in a dignified tone.Martin, Axel, and Aengus nodded in deliberately exaggerated agreement, while Alex calmly
Second chance at happiness They are not little anymore.
However, the alert silence in the room didn’t last long as Beth’s choked sobs broke through. Despite his current state, Alex was the first to reach Katherine’s side.“My dear sister…. Big sister thought… she would never see you again… my dear sister…” Beth choked between sobs as she hugged her sister tightly.Beautrice had just opened her eyes. She stared blankly at the ceiling, trying to grasp the last thought lingering in her mind, when she was suddenly pulled into a warm embrace. This warm scent… she knew… this was her big sister.Beautrice’s lips curled up as she hugged Beth back, “Big sister, I am back.” She had no idea how much time had passed but her big sister was still the same… full of waterworks at the drop of a hat…She lifted her head alertly at the gust of air rushing toward her… her eyes met with a pool of affection… eyes that had always held only her… her lips curled as she turned her extended arms towards the intruder.Beth quietly moved out of the way even though she
Second chance at happiness Heavens have been merciful…
Both Cornelius and Baldwin pressed their trembling lips into thin lines, struggling to maintain composure.For once, words failed the duo who were usually far too eloquent for silence.However, the moment didn’t last. Piscina wasn’t exactly soundproof, and the loud noises had already alerted the mob upstairs.They rushed downstairs, spilling into the emotionally charged yet oddly warm scene.The room froze.At the ladies’ side, Katherine had still not woken. Despite the chaos, none of them moved from her bedside.Maddie slowly stood after a few minutes, not out of curiosity, but from a quiet ache of embarrassment and heartbreak. The man she loved was bawling worse than a toddler.“Go…” Ursula whispered, gently nudging her forward.That was all the encouragement she needed.Maddie crossed to the other side of the partition, then stopped. The sight was too warm, achingly so, as if it would be etched into memory forever. She knew how close the brothers were but witnessing it like this… wa
Second chance at happiness I had never truly lost anything before…
Earlier, she had only half-listened to the healer’s explanation. Honey preserving wounds and preventing decay was one thing, but drawing toxins out entirely was another matter altogether.Yet now, standing before it with her own eyes---The golden honey continued darkening slowly, green spreading across Alex’s skin like ink through water.Seeing was believing.Zelda observed silently for nearly a full minute before finally speaking.“Call me once the entire body changes colour.”Without another word, she immediately strode toward Katherine’s side. Esmeralda followed behind her.The same thing was happening there.Green slowly spread beneath the layer of honey coating Katherine’s skin.Zelda carefully examined her before giving identical instructions and heading upstairs where everyone else had gathered.“Did you manage to get Heather Honey?”Though the question wasn’t directed at anyone specifically, her gaze locked firmly onto Elias.“My scouts haven’t returned yet.”“Didn’t my men al
Second chance at happiness Did my half-brother forget what he just heard?
“Still not stepping down?” Jerome hooked his eyebrows, disdain clearly written all over his face.Hadrian could only step down, his fist clenched as he swallowed the humiliation silently.Jerome looked at the two groups and walked towards the red side and stood next to Baldwin.“Worthington do you k

“How about we get everyone to cast their vote first?” Alaistair asked once again, after waiting for a few minutes in vain and not getting a response from both father and son.“Somerstone lost their chance to vote a long time ago.” Cornelius’s voice wasn’t loud, but it had a deterrent force that made
Second chance at happiness Whether you like it or not, I don’t think you have a choice.
Back at the throne room, the small interlude due to the disturbance caused by a stray pigeon entering had just subsided and everyone diverted their attention back to the envoys.“Stay alert.” Baldwin warned Jack and Thomas in a low voice while the princess’s protector’s voice boomed through the hall
Second chance at happiness Will today be the day we write history for all the wrong reasons?
As the rays of sun, brightened the land, the tents before the gate had disappeared and, in its place, stood the forces of Zumerong, tall and proud without a hint of fear of the impending loom of death and defeat before them, awaiting the arrival of their commander and his orders, which was heaven’s
