Segunda Chance Novels & Stories

After attempting Alex's suggestion, the screen displayed 'Error 404: Password not found' once more. "I'll take a crack at it myself." I typed in 'Philip' followed by my birthday, fingers crossed for a breakthrough. Instead, the screen ominously dimmed, revealing a mocking message: 'Nice try! Is Philip your name? You might be the most stupid hacker ever! How about 'IHaveTheSmallestDickEver ThatSheCannotFeelMyWilly' next time? Just kidding, please don't!' accompanied by a cheeky tongue emoji. Then, the screen abruptly shut off, and the device powered down.

You know this can help me get back into the industry. As you know I have a stained reputation...” Madeline didn't even want to recall any of the past. “And, besides am used to sticking to a tight and rough schedule. I'll be fine.

The other man sighed. “Then stop standing around and fix it,” he said. “In your previous life you failed her.” My breath caught. “In this life,” the man continued, “you have a second chance.” My blood ran cold as Liam spoke again. “I won’t make the same mistake.” The world suddenly felt like it tilted.

We'd already sealed a deal, but his tone with me was still frosty. Julian's eyes locked onto mine, his gaze expectant. “What's your name, by the way? You've been here for hours, and we even made a deal, yet I still don't know your name.” His voice was smooth, but I detected a hint of impatience beneath the surface. I swallowed hard, my throat dry.

She had been betrayed once before, and she refused to let it happen again. As she walked out of Ethan's life, Lily felt a sense of sadness but also a sense of relief.

“Perhaps, I made exceptions for you Rahul.” His eyes sunk in horror. “I've never killed that slowly before. You broke the record.” “But let me make this clear to you,” I told him. “Antonio. Doesn't. Fuck. With.
