Segunda Chance Novels & Stories

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."

After the dinner I stood on the balcony, enjoying a glass of wine as I took in the moonlight and the twinkling city lights when Selena came over to me. "Hey, have you read the news?" She asked. "Is there something interesting happening?" I've been so busy with work lately that I haven't even had a moment to watch TV, much less scroll through social media. "Not sure if this is interesting but TasteTales is reopening tomorrow night after being temporarily closed, and Clara is inviting the orphan kids to come and enjoy a free meal." Selena's words really grabbed my attention. I set my glass of wine down on the table and strolled over to her; she pulled up the news on her phone to show me.

But then why did she blurt out about that night and call it a mistake, no way, that night was too damn special to be a mistake, he frowned deeply. "Stupid, idiot! I wasted my time, what was I thinking caring and worrying about that guy anyway?" Susan huffed under her breath as she walked in the hospital corridor on her way out. She was still fuming with anger., "Note to self Susan, a leopard cannot change it spot. I have to get back to work" she narrowly missed numbing into a young woman and muttered and apologized, but then she stopped and turned to stare after the woman, strangely, she seemed familiar. Tentatively, she called out, "Stacy!"

“I believe in second chances, Ronin. I always have. People can change, and they can learn from their mistakes. But the question is…do they really want to?” Ronin didn’t think before taking a step towards her. “I do. I really do. I would do anything for that second chance, Carmen. I swear, I’ll move heaven and earth if I have to. But if you give me this one more chance, I promise I won’t disappoint you. I wouldn’t dare.”

“Tonight, I will meet my second chance. I was rejected on the first day of term.” Her face falls. “I’m so sorry, Ariella. No one deserves to be rejected. The goddess has given you a second chance, so go claim him. And if you are smart, you will hold off on marking so your mate feels it. It’s supposed to be even more intense when the mate finds their second chance.” I smile at the thought. I have my second chance. If I wanted revenge, I can have it. Beta escorts me to the dining room and she is watching me closely.

I thought about my step -dad, whom I didn't know anything about for the past many years of being away from him. They never bothered looking for me even for a single day. I thought about Duke Patrick, whom i denied a chance of being in the life of his son Michael. I flashbacked the day he left us in the hospital bed and went for his wife. I knew he would return as he had promised but I decided to flee away not thinking of any consequences of my actions. I knew I wronged them all but I deserve another chance. I deserved to be forgiven no matter how wrong I was.

Patrick said, making Michelle roll her eyes. "There is something known as a 'second chance mate'. Sometimes the moon goddess can decide to bless a person with a second chance mate if their mate dies or in the case of rejection. It is very rare though, especially in the case of rejection. You should know that." She then focused on her food, sounding a little annoyed. No, she was acting like a teenager. "How do you feel about it?" Nina then asked her. "Is this supposed to be breakfast conversation? Look, I am very confused, and I don't know what to feel, alright?" She then stuffed food in her mouth.

"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.

Every single word in those screenshots had stripped him of his pride, leaving him unable to lift his head in front of me.
