Giving Love A Chance Novels & Stories

Love? She didn’t believe in it. To Imani Kane, love was nothing more than a chemical illusion, endorphins at play. Hormones pretending to be destiny. “It’s just biology,” she said softly, swirling the wine in her glass. “Like a monthly period.” Her tone was calm, almost detached, but her eyes told a different story hollow, distant, yet burning with unspoken pain. “I never understood why poets, actors, or novelists glorify it,” she went on. “As if love is the cure to all misery. But it’s not. Love doesn’t save the world

Uncle Pedro chuckled and gently patted my head. “You’re still so young… so innocent. Love is something we can’t explain. Sometimes it hurts so much, we spend a lifetime trying to heal. Other times, it brings us more joy than we ever thought possible. Even mortal enemies can fall in love. Eveline, I don’t know what kind of man your husband really is, but if you love him, give him a chance. You never know what’s going on in someone’s mind. Maybe behind that cold and harsh mask, there’s someone caring and kind. But to see that, you have to give him a chance.”

I took a deep breath knowing she would be going to say it anytime. "Nora... " I said it with a command in my voice. "If Zoya refuses to accept her love for you..will you at least give me one chance?" Nora looked at me with all pleading eyes. I stayed quiet and looked away. "One always needs a life partner who understands them in all ways. If you give me one chance...I can assure you to be a good life partner. I understand your ways too, you don't need to hide anything from me. Because you also deserve a second chance. So if Zoya refuses I want you to at least think about my feelings"

Loving him had never been part of the contract—but neither had forbidding herself from feeling. Back in her room, Amelia sat on the edge of the bed, staring at nothing. Her heart felt bruised, but beneath the pain was something stubborn—something hopeful. “I’ll love you quietly,” she whispered into the empty room. “I’ll take care of you. I’ll be here.” She hugged her arms around herself, a sad smile tugging at her lips. Maybe one day—before the contract ended—he would see her not as an obligation, not as a mistake, but as someone worth choosing.

The past had scattered to the wind. Patrick folded a sheet of paper from the table into a paper airplane and handed it to Logan. The two of them laughed together. "Mom, Dad… spring is here. Let's go out and play." Patrick and I exchanged a glance, smiled, and said in unison, "Okay." Hate destroys. Love gives life anew. Now I have a new life. And Logan has a father who truly loves him. Love endures; it always echoes. The spring wind, carrying the light of two lifetimes, gently knocks on the door of our home.

"I admit that I'm not good at expressing my feelings, but please believe me when I say that I am here because I'm willing to give our relationship another chance. In fact, even if we get eliminated tonight, I will still give him a chance." It was a bold and risky move and I know it might affect the voting, but I was desperate to have the audience's sympathy.

“Maybe you should give that model boy of yours another chance.” I laugh sadly. If my heart had its way, it would give him a million. “Giving him another chance is not the problem. He is.” He ended us. Canceled the contract. Told me that it was over. He even said I should move on. Be happy. That I’m free. Free. As if freedom is possible when your heart is chained in someone else’s pocket. Betty tilts her head, eyes wise. “Love, my dear, is always as complicated as we make it.” She squeezes my fingers. “Never run away from true love … not even if it pushes you … it only comes once in a lifetime … if you’re lucky.”

“Give her time. Let the girls hold her. When she’s ready, when she’s steady, then she’ll listen to you. Not before.” Chi blinked at him, tears threatening. Her voice came out a whisper. “What if by then… she’s already decided I’m not worth it?” Kingsley sighed, his face shadowed with empathy. “If your love is true, Chi, then it’s not about proving it in a night. It’s about showing it every damn day after. Even when she’s gone cold. Even when it hurts.” Chi couldn’t respond. The silence between them carried everything, the ache, the fear, the quiet plea that maybe love could still survive this night.

I don't know how much I have left but I just want to spend my all the time, thinking about him and loving him. I don't want him to think about me, once I am gone. I don't want him to live his life without any partner because of me. Seven years ago, I left him because I wanted him to move on in his life, forgetting me. I lied to him so he would never find me. It was tough for me but I did all, just for his sake. Loving him was never a option, It was need, Need of my soul, Need for being alive.

Love and family. THE END
