Bella Goody Therapist. ID no. :12395670 Email: bellagoody@g***l.com She was a therapist, I thought. There was a shadow under my breath. Under my tone. And it was screaming inaudible words in my ears but I couldn't decipher what words they were let alone the meaning. “Hey, I'm sorry. I'm back,” Her joyful voice brought me down to reality and I hurried to put the rest of the things in the bag before facing her.

I steel myself for what’s to come. “I have no intention of rejecting you. You are a gift, a second chance mate for me. I don’t turn away gifts from the Moon Goddess,” he says. His fingers then move to Masuzyo’s mark on my neck. “I’m assuming, based on your mark, that I’m your second chance mate too?”

Oliver couldn't help but ask, "Can she use this charm on me a second time?" Lindsay answered, "Of course she can. As long as she still has the special incense and the charm, she can keep using it on you. However, the charm has a limitation—it only works if she touches you. So, try to avoid that as much as possible. "But she loves to 'accidentally' trip and fall, conveniently landing in your arms, so it’s hard to guard against." The three brothers—Oliver, Raymond, and Alex—shared a moment of silent realization. "…So all those falls were just an act."

Charmine crushed her bracelet with her mere fist and broke her heels with just a kick! Amelia instantly lost her balance as her heels broke and she staggered inelegantly. Furious and in pain, she glared at Charmine. “Charmine, what did you do?! Do you know this bracelet costs me five hundred thousand? I’ve only worn it once!” “So what? You broke my heels, and I broke your bracelet and heels. This is called ‘returning double’! If you ever pull tricks on me again, I’ll return them ten-fold.” With her final words, Charmine shoved her away and walked right past her.

Hilda smiled a knowing smile I really didn’t like the look of. “I think you already know the answer to that.” my throat went dry as my stomach twisted, feeling the urge to bring the tiny sip of lemonade up, but I squashed it all down. “What type of spell is it? Is there a way to break it?” Hilda stood up walking closer to me, her steps small and precise as she stopped before me. “It’s a love charm of sorts. It gives the intended a craving for that person like a second half of their soul is missing unless together. A useful technique if you wish to bind someone to you. How can they leave if you are all they crave?”

Then, a cool response, "I know. I feel it, too. Let me think..." Charlene watched as ReNew closed their eyes in deep concentration. A soft glow filled the room, and suddenly, an x-ray-like vision appeared before them. A swirling, pulsating wave radiated from her mother’s neck, encasing the charm in a protective bubble. "The charm is protecting itself," ReNew explained in a steady tone. "We need to break through it, but we must get closer." Charlene’s heart raced. "How? How do we do that?" she thought desperately.

“I’m sorry…” “Forget it. It’s all in the past.” Charity looked in the distance and said, “Chester, I understand your regrets, but I’m not the Charity you first met when I was 16. I’ve died once and suffered a lot of pain. Perhaps I need a whole life to heal them. Let’s stay this way in this life, alright? I don’t need a grand wedding. All I want is for us to keep each other company and stay together forever.” “...Sure.”

Perhaps if she had not forced herself on him from the first time… Perhaps she would have been married to a better man at that point of her life. She is just thirty two. She cleaned off the tears in her eyes and stood up to clean the floor, one thing is sure, she is in for it for some few weeks before she could find something to do with him again. If only he would just leave and go back to his wives at least for her to rest. She still do not understand why the charm fade off so quickly this time. Perhaps it is because it was the most effective.

I sat on the ground for as long as I needed, before changing back into my clothes and heading back into the house, and the scent that welcomed me as soon as I stepped into the living room told me my mate was here not too long ago. I exhaled slowly, feeling the weight of his scent all over. The pull of his scent was nothing like the first time, this time around it was fiercer, more possessive, and I swear to the goddess if the pull had been a fraction as strong earlier today I’d have ripped Selene’s arms out of her body. Still lost in thoughts, a figure peeled out of the shadows, making me stop dead in my tracks. “Mate,” Astra acknowledged, and my face immediately contorted into a frown.
