I Picked Up The Second Male Lead After The Ending Novels & Stories

It was not until years later that I learned that there was a small commotion on our wedding day. Melissa had tried to cause trouble. She even had a catheter bag strapped to her waist. "Cheryl, you ruined my entire life! Why do you get to be so happy? It's all because of you! Brandon abandoned me... My life is destroyed because of you!" She tried to force her way in, acting completely unhinged. However, before Barnabas's hired security could intervene, Brandon had already dragged her away. It turned out he had been standing outside all along, secretly watching my wedding.

I stopped in front of the cabinet by the entrance, opened the drawer, and took out the confiscated tie clip from the very back. Then, under their stunned gazes, I walked out without looking back once.

God, everything is messed up. “Akka?” “Uh, yeah, he is a true gentleman. I will talk to you later. Bye, Adu.” I hung up on him But even after knowing everything, he was sweet to me for the last two days. He asked me to start over, and we were finally happy together. I tried to remember what Arjun said last night.

Albeit the situation before them, the mysterious man was not affected and continued to make love to her lips, amazingly gentle and skilful in his conduct. A series of images appeared before her, and her head throbbed with pain. Amidst the agony, she recognized it was a memory of her with Jing Yue, and they were in the elevator, as they were now. She saw everything clearly, the force of their attraction, and how they were in a similar position, and had almost kissed. Only that now, it had become a reality. He pulled away the second he realized she was in agony, and she crouched on the floor of the elevator, with her hands on both temples.

The hallway seems to stretch on endlessly, but I know that my Maddox is somewhere within this forsaken place, waiting to be reunited with me, who will never give up on him. Finally, I reach a carpeted staircase at the end of the hallway. It creaks every step I take on it, adding to the eeriness of the ambiance. On the next floor, there’s another hallway. This one is short compared to the one downstairs. Along the hallway are three doors. But my attention is only focused on the last door where two women are standing, guarding it while smirking at me. One of them opens the door, revealing a room bathed in the soft glow of the small chandelier light. The room’s air isn’t only chilling, its move

Perfect. Finally. **THE END**

The system finally returned. 【Original task terminated.】 【Contract Holder Isabella Caruso has completed death settlement.】 【Irreversible regret detected in target individual.】 【Hidden compensation condition fulfilled.】 A new option appeared before me. 【One identity reset is available.】 【The original body, identity, and family ties will not be retained.】 【Accept new identity?】 Matteo was still kneeling beside me, saying he loved me now that it could save nothing. I no longer needed the answer.

“I called this meeting to discuss something that affects the future of this pack going forward.” By now, I had gotten their full attention. “At the Mating Hunt a few months ago, I met my second-chance mate.” I paused, letting that sink in. They were all staring at me in bewilderment, except Seb, who had a mischievous smile on his face, watching my struggle. I felt like punching the man in the face even as I found the entire situation hilarious myself. Freya found her voice first. “A second-chance mate? Does that even exist?”

Which meant he had reason to pause, to doubt, to hesitate. The Second’s jaw flexed. His hand tightened on the knife. Then, slowly, he lowered it. The First clung to her, shaking, whispering against her hair, “I’ve got you. He’ll never touch you again.” But the Second’s eyes stayed locked on Mara’s. And she let him see it—the flicker of something unsaid. A spark of connection she hadn’t given the First. A message hidden behind her tears. Not yet. Wait. Watch.

"Did it affect the rest of the story then? Will there be any issues?" BaoBao did not know whether to laugh or cry at her nonchalance about having the second male lead go totally out of character for her. "It's fine... Violet and Stephan were shocked not by his show of power but by how much he grieved for you. It captured Violet's attention for awhile, but Stephan easily gained her attention back, especially when Ethan essentially dropped out of the competition for her hand.
