Second Chance Love

Chapter 1

Ring! Ring! Ring! The alarm sound is so loud that it can shake an entire house. Charles was irritated. With one hand, he punched the clock that it fell down from his bedside table. c***k! The clock broke into pieces. Holy crap! "What am I doing?" Charles scolded himself and forced his brain to wake up.

It is 6 o'clock in the morning and he has to walk on the beach as a routine. Lazily, he put on his favorite black shorts and paired it with a fitted white shirt. His six packs abdominal muscles is outlined in his shirt that he looked like a model from a distance. He is so handsome that anyone who sees him would really think that he is a model of an expensive brand. However, he is more than that. He is a billionaire who did not only inherit a fortune from his dad but also established groups of companies with his own hands.

Rich as he is though, he still finds joy in simple things like walking on the beach early in the morning. Despite his years of working in the corporate world and living in luxury, he never changed the simple life that he used to enjoy when he was younger. Yes, he is still the same Charles who loves to smell the breeze brought by the sea. He is still the same Charles who loves living in an island. He is still the same Charles who knows how to find joy in simple things in life. No matter how rich he is and how rich he would get, he will never ever change.

Smiling, Charles stepped out of his bedroom. He walked down the long stairs of his modern frontline beach villa down to the first floor. Upon reaching the front door, he reached for the knob and opened the door. He was greeted by the sunlight when he stepped out. "Ah, what a perfect day to enjoy!" he exclaimed.

Charles specially enjoyed walking on the beach today that he reached a distance farther than what he usually takes everyday. With his hands on his pockets, he is whistling his favorite song on his way. Suddenly, he realized that he has been wandering for so long. When he was about to turn around and go back home though, something not far from him caught his eyes.

Not believing what he is seeing before him, he blinked not once but twice. "Do my eyes deceive me?" he murmured. "No, it really is a human. Yes, a woman. Oh, a sexy woman. Is she dead?" Charles ran as fast as he could upon realizing that his eyes are perfectly working fine. When he reached the woman, he slowly turned her around. His eyes went big and wide. His jaw dropped out of shock as if he has seen a ghost. His heart was beating fast. "Lubdub, lubdub!" He is not dreaming! It took him a minute or two to convince himself that everything is not a dream before he finally uttered, "Good heavens! Chastity Brawner?!"
