All Chapters of What's Love Without A Second Chance : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

We surfed through the itinerary the next day and by midday we were riding to the to the island. I was so excited.We put on our live jackets and I held on tightly to Arya as well as Xander as the boat sped off in the middle of the ocean over to the other side of the island.Meeting with the locals was so refreshing. The tour guide took us into the local market where we stopped to do some shopping. Xander carried Arya as we walked around and I took selfies of us. I passed by one handmade jewelry store and a particular bracelet caught my eye. I paused and went for it, negotiating with the seller - an older woman with lovely curly hair tied at the back of her head.Xander looked stunned with her I haggled the prices. "I want two of them," I said. They did not have small sizes so I could not get one for Arya so I bought her something else."Thank you mommy," she said as I placed it around her wrist. "You're welcome my baby," I said. It was a proud mum moment for me to have a polite chi

I was trying to not be upset but Malik's calls were ruining my day. We had two days left on this vacation and all I wanted to do was enjoy myself to the fullest.I laid by the poolside, enjoying my day out while Xander was in the water with our daughter, trying to teach her how to swim. It was a good day but the incessant calls from my boyfriend constantly tried to ruin it. After being distant for weeks on end, now he decides he wants to call over and over. If only he knew I was getting used to being without him and it was not because of Xander's presence.I finally picked, heaving deep breaths before I did so I would not sound rude."Hello?""Babe, I'm so glad you finally picked up." He sounded like he did not believe I would take his call."Hi Malik." I answered him, tongue in cheek as I fixed my gaze on Arya just so the sight of her would calm me."I'm so sorry for how I treated you. I should never have acted like that." He said."It's fine." I said tersely, fighting hard to not r

It was our last day here. There was a pool party going on and Xander and I decided to join in as usual after Arya had fallen asleep.The party was already in full swing by the time we got down, me in my denim shorts and short sleeved crop top and him wearing a white T-shirt and denim shorts as well.We walked side by side. There was a bounce in my step as I bobbed my head to the beat of the music. This was one of my favorite things and with the reminder that I was heading back to the hustles and bustles of city life the next day, I was willing to dance all night long.Our first stop was the bar by the poolside to see how things were going from that end. Xander ordered similar cocktails for both of us while I nodded my head and tapped my feet to Khalid's 'Better'. It was while I was still sipping my drink, I walked to another side of the pool to vibe. I swear I was gone for just five minutes when I saw that there was another lady hanging around him. I squinted, just so I could a much

The day I was dreading had finally come. I woke up that morning and looked out my window to see several cars parked outside. My family members had arrived for the much awaited meeting.Some came in the previous night but I did not have the energy to interact with anyone after such a long flight so I shut my doors, leaving them to assume that I was asleep.I showered and dressed up in my suit pants and shirt. If the meeting was to discuss the fate of the companies then it was imperative for me to dress up like it was happening in an office. Technically, the family meeting room was set up like an office so we all had to dress the part.I headed downstairs and was met with the faces of of my uncles, aunts, their spouses as well as their kids. They were all seated in the large dining area with nonna at the head of the table as always.There was a slight uproar from my cousins when I walked in. Antonio, my favorite cousin was at the head of it."Xander!" He exclaimed as we did our signatu

"Ma'am we can make it work but changing your decorations so last minute would be tedious and cost you extra." I explained to this bride who continuously wanted to make me regret taking up on my passion for planning events. She seemed offended, "Do I look broke to you Miss Moretti?" "Not at all ma'am." "Get it done. It's my big day and I want it to be perfect." I was so close to reminding her that the wedding was not only about her but it was also about the quite unfortunate man who was tying the knot with her. Some brides need to understand that their wedding planners are not magicians who can magically make things work. I had a life too and her wedding was not the only thing on my life's schedule. I wanted to give this job to Chloe while I supervised but Nicole, the bride had insisted it was me or no one else. Having worked with her before for one of her parties, I knew she could be a handful. "Olive right?" I looked up from my tab and nodded. "Do you know anyone nam
