A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

He missed her. If he hadnt come here on purpose, he might never see her again.

Albert slowly made his way over and took a seat across her without aword.

Turning to the restaurant owner, he said, Bring us more food and tossin a bottle of sake.

The man nodded and got ready.

He was sharp. Seeing the place wasnt crowded, he decided to close up shop, giving Albert and Jessie some privacy. Hed heard the rumors about the two and now he could clearly see the love in their eyes.

He was sure they were crazy about each other.

Jessie and Albert sat together at a table.

She was as cool as a cucumber. She looked down and asked, What are you doing here? We agreed not to see each other or talk.

With that, she started to leave.

She was scared. She didnt want anything to do with Albert anymore.

But as she stood, his hand reached out for hers, but then quickly pulled back. He looked at her and said softly, Lets grab a bite together now that we ran into each other! Jessie shook her head, still intending to leave.

But Albert wasnt having it. He murmured, Its just one meal. I wont hassle you! And you barely ate. Are you sure youre not hungry? She knew the drill. He wouldnt cut her loose till they finished eating.

She slumped back down, quiet as a mouse.

When the dishes arrived, the owner tossed in some barbecue, knowing Albert was into.

They both sat in silence.

Jessie zoned out, while Albert quietly seasoned the meat on the grill.

He was a thoughtful guy.

Back when they were together, it had always been him catering to her during meals.

Even though they were no longer together now, some habits just died hard.

Things were still different now though. She used to chow down on barbecue like it was going out of style. Scared of packing on pounds, every time they had hit a barbecue joint, shed make him do some workouts with her after, swearing it kept the pounds off.

And on those nights, shed be real frisky.

Albert had been around the block but every time with her, it was like paradise

But now, facing him, Jessie wasnt feeling it at all.

Albert slid the grilled meat over to her plate.

Dig in! Youve been slimming down! She stayed silent and just nibbled quietly. He was starving but all he cared about was making sure she was fed. He was thoughtful and all. Come on, eat up! Isnt this your favorite? Finally, Jessie set her chopsticks down.

She looked up at him and spoke gently. Albert, can you relax? Youre a married man. Isnt it kind of weird to be so attentive to another woman? She gestured to the spread on the table. We shouldnt even be sitting here together! Finally losing her appetite and her patience, she got up to go.

Albert sat there, watching her go, the sound of her steps fading away.

Maybe he had been too hasty Or maybe he just missed her. Before he knew it, he was up and grabbing her hand, pushing her against the nearest wall. She tried to push back but he held her firm. Then he lifted her chin and planted a kis on her before she could say a word.

He kised her fiercely.

He couldnt help it. Ever since he had tied the knot, he hadnt touched his wife, nor did he feel like fooling around with other women.

But when he saw Jessie, he lost control.

His body was screaming for her! Their clothes were all over the place. In the silent restaurant, all they could hear was their own heavy breathing.

His kis heated up even more.

Then came a sharp smack and Alberts face took a hit.

The romantic vibe between them vanished.

He snapped out of it. Ignoring the sting on his cheek, he turned to see the woman in his arms shrinking against the wall, avoiding his gaze, clearly embarrassed.

Alberts heart sank.

He straightened out her clothes as she trembled, tears streaming down her face. She muttered, Am I just a plaything to you? Do you think you can have your way with me anywhere and anytime you ‘want?

His voice was rough with pain. Hesitantly, he leaned his head against her shoulder, breathing softly. After a moment, he whispered

Atleast then, no one would be there to judge them just for wanting to hold each other.

Their relationship was now frowned upon and deemed unacceptable by society mostly because he was a married man.

Jessie lifted her head slightly. After regaining her composure, she gently pushed him away.

She said, Albert, you made your choice! These words felt like a knife through his heart.

This time, when she left, he didnt stop her. He just returned to his seat and ate slowly. He finished everything, something unusual as Jessie usually devoured most of their meals together.

His phone buzzed on the table. It was Daisy calling.

Albert ignored it.

Daisy texted him. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow for the prenatal check-up. Can you come with me, Albert? Albert powered off his phone without a second thought.

Jessie left the restaurant and wandered the streets, Lost in thought.
