Second Chances Novels & Stories

"What do you mean?" "Thomas, Melina was pregnant for you before now, and she miscarried because of this same James." Katherine must have heard Melina say his name. Thomas freezes and just stares at his mother as he tries to make sense of her words. Melina was expecting his child for the second time. He couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe he’d created a human being with Melina, not just once but twice, and he's only finding out now. Now they’re no more; Thomas couldn’t believe it. He lost the chance to be a dad before he knew he was one. Thomas' heart clenches in his chest. His heart aches for his unborn children.

“Calm down, Becca. There’s no rush. There’s still more than enough time to figure out what to do. I’ll like to tell you that there are different options, so don’t panic just yet, okay?” They talked some more and by the time she left his office, she felt a little better, even though she could still hardly credit the fact that a new life was growing inside her right at that moment. It all seemed so surreal. She could remember how she had longed to get pregnant after she had a miscarriage two years ago. To think that it was because she was pregnant that Ryan had married her and she ended up losing the baby a month after they got married. Now, the minute she divorced him and decided to move in w

My tone was dry and all I wanted right now was water or at least something to quench the thirst. A face appeared above mine. "Emery," he said my name like he was trying to get my full attention. "This is your choice." His eyes which were gold, glittered at me like stars from a night sky. "To have a second shot at life only in a different point of view." I didn't need to be asked twice. In a stable but weak voice I replied, "Yes."

Conclusions will be drawn sooner or later. Alarabella politely smiled, 'Is that so? I believe your haste exposes your anxiety. Indeed - someone reliant solely on their father's wealth naturally warrants caution. If Mr. Northridge discovers a more promising prospect, you might find yourself discarded soon. I must take pride in merely being a stepping stone for you.' Chloe's smile vanished instantly. Suddenly, Chloe raised her hand and harshly slapped Alarabella across the cheek. Alarabella, completely unprepared, was engulfed by the sudden burst of pain and flickering lights, feeling dizzy.

Would it be worth it to give him a second chance? I consider it until I remember all the times he has let me down in the past, along with all the times he made me feel like I wasn’t enough. And I shake my head, trying to dispel the tears prickling my eyes. “I can’t take that risk, Dallas. I can’t go back to the way things were.” He nods, looking defeated. “I understand. But just know that I will always love you, Paige. And if you ever change your mind, I will be here. No matter what, I won’t give up on us.”

"The chance I was given. I have spent twenty-two years thinking of it as mine. What I did with my second chance." “Yes," I said. "But it is not just mine," she said. "It was never just mine. Every person it built through the choices I made has a stake in it. Eleanor and Edmund. Luke. Adrian. Cassie's different version of herself. The thousand women a month." She paused. "Even you. The person you became in twenty years with me is part of the second chance." I sat with that. "What are you saying?" I said. "I am saying the second chance compounded," she said. "Like Dr. Yuen said about my mother's investment. Not the twelve million. The framework. That is what compounds." She looked at me. "The

It’s a really strange thing to think that yesterday I was in the hospital losing my baby. There was an attack that no one can really give me any information. The police have no information. I can barely make a statement because everything was dark. I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve this kind of pain honestly. I don’t understand why dealing with a constant fear of being attacked. This is the second time… I don’t understand what’s happening. I just want answers but on the same time maybe I don’t want answers?

"Give me a second chance..." I ignored him, taking a step back. They always wanted a second chance, one they couldn't keep. In the past, second chances had been given to members to prove themselves. However, they run to the rival tent the first chance they get and give them incriminating information with which they could be defeated. "You've blown all your chances, James; in your next life, I am sure you'd choose to stay loyal no matter what."

“But remember, Lady Elowen. Second wives don’t get to rewrite the story. They only get to accept the ending.” Elowen held that gaze for one long moment, then turned slightly - just enough to show she was aware of the dais and the court beyond it. The banners fluttered faintly with the movement of air through high doors. The sound of distant bells - announcement bells, ceremonial bells - threaded through the hall, low and inevitable.

The counselor stood up and announced, “Times up Mr. Stone, we have to get Thomas back to school.” “When do I get to go to my new school?” Thomas asked me. I leaned over to him and said, “We are going to do everything we can to make it happen really fast.” I smiled and watched him walk away before saying, “Jason, you were right, he needs a second chance too. How long will it take?” “Tessa, are you sure? Be honest with me,” he said. “I want to, I have no doubts. He needs us. Would we still have to wait six weeks, it wouldn’t make sense.”
