Second Time's A Charm Novels & Stories

She would be the most captivating presence at the ball tonight! Larissa raised an eyebrow with a smirk. She knew exactly what Charmaine was up to. This two-faced bitch was incredibly annoying, constantly seeking attention to stir up trouble. Since things were that way, she decided to let Charmaine have the spotlight this time. With a swift motion of her delicate hand, Charmaine grasped a thin silver needle. As Charmaine was turning and twisting, Larissa saw her chance and acted swiftly. The silver needle was released at lightning speed! Charmaine only felt a slight prick on her body. She was immersed in her graceful dance and the admiring gazes of others, paying no attention to this insignif

Unexpectedly, Rebecca had the audacity to show up at my doorstep, shamelessly wailing outside the Hale Group's building. "I was blind before! I couldn't see the scheme those two snakes were running. Tyler, I've thought about it for the past five years, and I've learned so much! People shouldn't trample on others' sincerity. I've made up my mind—I will be completely devoted to you. Tyler, forgive me for the mistakes I made unknowingly! Please give us another chance. I know now that everything you did was to make me realize the truth. I'm wide awake now. I really know I was wrong, and from now on, I'll love you with all my heart!"

Why did my stomach churn when I thought about it? Why was I second-guessing myself? “What if,” I said carefully, “Someone didn’t cast it to use?” She frowned at me. “Explain.” “What if someone planted it?” I asked. “Hidden it. To be found. And not triggered.” Maeve leaned into the table, eyebrows quirking in curiosity. “Testing the waters?” I shook my head. Because what I thought wasn’t reassuring. Hell, I didn’t think it was a coincidence that someone placed down a charm with zero signature. Didn’t think it was a coincidence that it was similar to something the Interregnum tried mere weeks ago.

"You can't even handle something this simple? Why the hell am I paying you for such useless service? "Fine. I'll be back in two days. Tell Charlie I'll bring him a gift." After hanging up, he sent a voice message to Christine. "Don't worry. I only have to stay here for a week. If she calls off the divorce, the media will stop hounding us. I even arranged for some reporters to snap photos of us. Everything will work out." Standing in the shadows, I clenched my fists. So, this was all an act. I'd thought that maybe he'd changed. But no, Vincent Porter was still the same.

The smile on her face fades quickly. THOMAS Thomas’ hands freeze in the air when he hears someone giggling downstairs. Thomas looks up from his phone and down to see who is laughing. Thomas’ gaze is drawn to the woman who was once the most amazing woman in his life. His heart tightens as he realizes it's been months since he's seen or heard that smile or giggle. Unconsciously, his thoughts return to the times when that smile would brighten his day. Thomas clenches his fists as he watches her gush over Leo and Serena. He hates that smile of hers more than anything else right now. Staring at it makes him want to rip it off her face, as it causes him heartache. He’s furious he fell for that smi

I assured her. "Thank you so much. Now let's go talk to your handsome friend." Her sassy self was back. "He's not my friend." "Keep telling yourself that." …………… For sixteen days now, I have been going through gruesome exercises. I didn't think I would survive but I did.

I said standing in the middle of the well-furnished living room. He looked confused. “Ken and I have broken up, just like you planned, but I'm sure Ken has already told you so there is no need for me to say more. I am just here to congratulate you on your success.” He frowned, not quite trusting me, then he smirked. “Cut the act Becca, I know you are pissed because Ken dumped you. I told him the relationship won't work. I am glad he took my advice.” “So am I.” I grinned. I was drunk and it was making me reckless. "But I am really glad you won; I mean Ken was dumb but you were smart enough to see through my evil ways. I have come to reward your smartness.”

I made a mental note to call her up as soon as I get home. "Charm, can you do me that just one tiny favor, please? You don't have to like the guy. Just come with me on Saturday." Charm said no the first time, but she sounded as though a bit interested. Finally, she said, "OK. I'll go with you but just this once. I saw that Albert before and I don't think we're a good match. " I squealed in delight and after chatting more about what to wear, we put down the phone. I then called up Alfred next and told him that Charm accepted the invite. "There you go. I know you can convince her. Albert will be so excited." After firming up the details of our double date, we said goodnight and put down the p

There was warmth in his eyes I’ve never seen before. I accepted the silver charm as I looked up at the enchanted windchime hovering above both of us. Moonlight entered the hallway from the bushes. The Moon Goddess has never left us after all. True to what Charmaine has said, there was still love swirling beneath his stubborn facade. As we stared at each other, I remembered the time our eyes met for the first time in college. We’re feeling it now too. It’s not impossible to fall in love again. I smiled at Lucien, the first I had since we first met during our college time. I never lost my love. I just need to find it for the second time with the same person at the right moment.

Clarissa It seemed like an eternity that I hid in the cabin, hoping that Beta was long gone. The second Beta, the one who scented as my mate. Scented, not that I accepted him. Nope, that was my beast, not me. And Beta Two was a different Beta to the one I’d met earlier, Beta One. He was also my mate, according to the beast inside me. “What the ever-loving fucked-up shit is this?” I bellowed and then hit the floor, hoping Beta Two wouldn’t kick the door down, thinking he was rescuing me.
