Second Chance With You

Grief leaves no room for instructions. It comes, uninvited, and settles like fog, thick, persistent, and blinding. For Daniel Lewis, CEO of a billion-Leones tech empire and head of one of the country’s most influential families, the world never stopped moving after his wife’s death, but his did. He buried the pain beneath polished suits and endless meetings, pouring all that was left of him into the only person that still tied him to her, their daughter, Betty. Betty was once a bright, talkative girl with a laugh that could melt a room. But the accident that claimed her mother’s life also stole her voice. Five years later, she hadn’t spoken a single word. Specialist after specialist had failed to reach her, and her silence became a fortress no one could breach. Until Esther walked in. She wasn’t a licensed expert. Not yet. Just a 21-year-old child psychology student with soft eyes, a quiet determination, and a heart bigger than her experience. Hired as a live-in governess and emotional support tutor, Esther’s job was simple: help Betty speak again, help her live again. But no one warned her that in healing the child, she might touch the man as well. Daniel didn’t expect to feel anything. Not for a woman so much younger. Not for anyone ever again. And yet, in the quiet moments, between shared books, unspoken smiles, and late-night tea in the garden, something began to bloom, tender, impossible, real. This is a story about healing. About love rediscovered. About a man haunted by his past. A girl chasing her dreams. And a child who, through them, finds her voice again. Sometimes, the second time around… love writes a better ending.

In The Moon's Shadow

Bang! another gunshot rang in her ears followed by the endless barrage of curses from her captors. "Can't believe these bitches actually opened fire on us !" said the minion closest to her. "Seems they don't want you to get out of this alive princess "He said, his voice dripping with bloodlust. Daphne's heart raced , her thoughts full of self pity." It never seems to end does it ?" She thought. This was the fourth foster home that had been reduced to ruins immediately after adopting her . People would soon think she was cursed . Maybe she was. Who knows. Suddenly she was yanked out of her thoughts by the loud bang of the door. "Bring her out here !" said a burly dangerous looking man ."Yes Sir!!"said the minions finally pulling her off the floor . She winced as her bruises and deep wounds scraped furniture around her. She was led out of the wooden shed-like house and onto a concrete pavement where she was tossed to the ground. She landed with a thud on the pavement bruising her knees even more. She didn't even lift her head knowing she couldn't face the family that had taken her in with kind hearts. The one she had now torn apart . She felt someone grab her by the hair and pull her head up. Tears flowed down her cheeks as she silently endured the pain on her scalp. As she opened her eyes she saw her foster mom looking directly at her,teary eyed. "What's the verdict mama?" Asked one of the goons while shoving her face to the side. "Can we have her for tonight then you come get her tomorrow?"he said while stripping her with his eyes . Daphne shivered under his intense gaze. Unable to shake off the feeling of being violated . Meanwhile her parents turned their backs on her got into their luxury sports car and left her on the road in the hands of those ruffians . She couldn't help but feel a sense of abandonment and hopelessness.
