Second Time's The Charm Novels & Stories

She watched him step out from an Uber and was in front of a tall lavish glass walled building named VM. It had been two months since he left and she didn't know what to feel upon seeing him again. Kane was walking into the building when Madeline saw a woman rushing out of the building. Madeline could tell the woman was around the same age as her. She had long black hair and her body was just like a model. The unknown woman rushed towards Kane and hugged him tightly but Kane seemed robotic. And, the next thing Madeline saw was the woman raising her head to plant a kiss on his lips.

In this enchanting ambiance, we found solace, a respite from the responsibilities that awaited us beyond these walls. With a tender smile, I leaned in closer to Princess Golder, my voice a mere whisper. “My love,” I murmured, “let us never lose sight of the love and strength that brought us together. Our union is a testament to the power of compassion, and it will guide us through the challenges that lie ahead.”

Serena said impatiently, her gaze piercing. "But here is my advice for you. Have some dignity. You brought this disgrace upon yourself. Just let her go." "Disgrace?" "What else would you call it?" Serena’s patience snapped. She spat out her words. "You think sleeping with Elara under the guise of childhood sweethearts makes your relationship pure and innocent? Everyone sees right through your filth! A man and a woman on a business trip, and you only book one hotel room. You're both adults, Vittorio. Don't insult my intelligence and tell me you were playing hide-and-seek in that room!"

Charlie nodded as he lifted two fingers and said indifferently, “I saved her life twice.” “Oh, my God…” Autumn exclaimed as she thought to herself, ‘Charlie has only saved my life once, and I already feel as though he has captivated my heart completely. All I can think about is his figure. Charlie actually saved that Sophie Schulz twice… In that case, I’m afraid that Sophie Schulz would certainly have much deeper feelings for Charlie as compared to me, then!’

"Maybe… Maybe you’re getting closer to shifting." She smiled warmly at me, and I felt a flicker of hope inside, the same hope in her beautiful green eyes. "Hmm, I don’t feel different, maybe… who knows." I hope so. Please let it be so. "Well, I need to go get my contraception charm renewed! See you!" "Ooo, I am jealous you get to have some of that sexy fine ass every day!" Charlene pouted. "You are yet to tell me the full details!"

her mind screamed. But then, he stopped. Cameron pulled away, studying her. Embarrassed, Charity immediately withdrew her hands and cast her gaze downward, trying to hide her flushed cheeks. Cameron, however, found himself fascinated. Her innocence made her even more alluring. He was stunned by his own desire to claim her lips again. But he held back. He wanted to take his time with her. She would carry and give birth to the next heir of their family. And yes, Charity was the perfect choice. His father would approve.

How much did my wife once love me? The year we graduated from college, she spent two whole years trying to convince me to marry her. She proposed three times. The first time, I said no. The second time, I said no again. It wasn't until the third time that she gathered all our closest family and friends, then got down on one knee in front of everyone. She looked at me with a determination that left no room for hesitation. In the end, she won me over. On our wedding day, I gave her a small wooden box. Inside were exactly one hundred black metal tokens, neatly arranged in rows. I gave them a name. Second Chances. Whenever either of us did something that hurt our marriage or broke a promise, we

but not this time. Not ever again. Reaching under his shirt, he pulled out the charm, its newspaper wrapping scratching his skin. Dim heat pulsed through newsprint. He stood that way for several minutes, thinking hard. Had he done this for Shelly? Or himself? Didn’t matter. It was time to be something. Finally. He tore the newspaper away. The charm blazed and filled him with something wonderful and powerful and awful. Reverently, he pressed it against his skin and something inside rushed towards a crescendo.

That was the moment I let myself believe his feelings for me had been real. So when I got this second chance, I didn't fall for Maxwell's empty gestures. I chose Charlie, the one who'd always been steady and grounded. And yet, life had sucker-punched me all over again. Charlie played his role a little too well. For six whole years, he had completely fooled me. In the end, every word he said felt like a knife to the gut. Maxwell and Charlie played me for a fool in this life and the one before it. I put the photo album back and wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes. But when I turned around, the door creaked open, and there Charlie was.

he said and leaned over to kiss my lips. "When is your flight time?" I asked once we pulled away from the breathtaking kiss. "12 O'clock," He said and raked his fingers through his hair frustratingly. "Kayish! Relax, you are just going for two days. And then you will come back to me." I assured him. "I am going to miss you." He pouted. I kissed his pouted lips but he led the kiss further in his passionate way. ~~~ My heart felt heavy when his name was being called out once again for the third time. "Kayish! Go. If you waste another second simply staring at me then you will miss your flight."
