Second chance at happiness She won't be able to escape the net we drew out for her.
Back in the shop, they sat and gossiped while Jack and Thomas discussed business and economic issues. Jack was well-read. His job at the Sleghs gave him access to update and maintain his world view. Thomas soon realized that Jack was not like your average educated free man. He had a sharp brain and clarity of thought that was perhaps even superior to his… He enjoyed the conversation and even discussed issues of his estate that he was hesitating on. Jack was open and frank with his opinion as he too liked Thomas’s straight forward personality and he didn’t want his wife to be angry. Mira told Almera about their encounter with Alina and Jason. “Shameless bitch!” Almera so angry, she really wanted to hit someone. “Do you think they will give up?” Mira looked at Almera with knitted brows. “Don’t worry about the bitch” Almera smiled “She won’t be able to escape the net we drew out for her.” “Um” “That fellow is a puzzle.” Almera pursed her lips. Jack and Thomas’s attention was drawn t
Second chance at happiness Of course I am so adorable; how can she not miss me?
Mira got up after Jack fell into a deep sleep and entered space taking the oil she had bought for conditioning the furs. She worked the oil meticulously on each fur before leaving them to dry in the shade. She left space and snuggled in her husband’s warmth and fell asleep; a blissful smile hung on both their faces. Mira and Jack spent the early part of the morning cleaning the barn. They swept under the hutch and piled the rabbit droppings in one place and the manure of cow, sheep and pig in separate piles. The radishes, turnips and spinach were ready to harvest. Jack got the spade and Mira carried the empty baskets. Jack and Mira were pulling out the radishes and turnips when the bell chimed at the end. “I will go.” Jack headed to the side door. Mira continued collecting the turnips. Martin, Oden and Anne-Marie were waiting near the side door. They somehow knew the couple would be outside. “Come … come…” Jack smiled at Anne-Marie “Mira has been asking after you.” “Really?” Anne
Second chance at happiness Yes, you are a demoness… bewitching me…body, mind and soul…
In Alina’s cottage- “What did you find out?” Jason asked anxiously. “Jack leaves the house around 5 in the morning and only comes back after 2 in the afternoon. Mira stays in the house all day.” Alina spoke in a bored tone. “Um” Jason nodded as he calculated in his head. Alina thought of Mira’s last words and wondered if they should let go of these stupid schemes and live their lives happily. She was no more in between them. Was there a need for these schemes? “Jas, why don’t we let go and live our lives? She will no longer come between us.” Alina asked hesitantly. Hope filling her heart. ‘Maybe they could …’ “What do you mean?” Jason narrowed his eyes in anger “You don’t understand, do you?” “Do you want to live like this?” Jason snarled “Waiting for handouts from your mom and that …. That… man?” “Is this even a life??” Jason sneered, his eyes rolling with disgust. “Jas, don’t be angry…. I ….I…” Alina bit her lower lip “Forget I said anything.” “Alina, dearest…” Jason sat ne
Second chance at happiness I would rather be stuck here with you than anywhere else.
“Oh.. no…!” Mira frowned “What’s wrong?” Jack tucked a loose strand of her hair behind her ears. “We have to get home.” Mira looked anxiously at the door “We can’t get out…. That cunning fox is going to send someone over to our place to see if you are home.” “If we go out now… the door is guarded and the estate gates closed.” “Oh Jack…. I have made things a hundred times worse for you.” Mira’s eyes filled with tears… “Oh… how could I be so selfish??” “I didn’t want to give Lotta a chance to squeeze into our lives.” She sobbed “I wanted to save you…” “I….” Mira was feeling terrible. ‘Why did she have to be so selfish?’ “I would rather be stuck here with you than anywhere else.” Jack hugged her. “I am very happy to hear that you are selfish when it comes to me…...” Jack’s lips curled up “That tells me how important I am to you…” “Sweet talker.” Mira pouted even though her heart felt like it was smeared in honey. “What do we do?” Mira raised her head to look at Jack’s face. “Ho

“She has used up all her life force.” The healer had a nonchalant expression. “What does that mean?” Jack’s voice rose a few notches. By this time, the front room was no less than a theater. Firstly, Oden arrived with Mira’s parents and godparents, then Uncle John came with Aunt Beth and Anne-Marie… Lastly Almera arrived in her grand carriage. She didn’t want to cause a lot of noise, so she got the footman to stop a few yards away from Mira’s house and she walked into the house in a fluster. Almera was overwhelmed by the number of people crowded in the room; Their endless chatter didn’t help her nerves much either. She had just arrived in time to hear Jack’s outburst. Not just her, everyone heard; Their expressions became serious. Martin sat on the steps in a corner wallowing in guilt. To him, this was all his fault. If he had not told Mira about their situation, then she wouldn’t have worked herself into her grave. His cousin was so happy, and he spoiled all of it…. He grew up wit
Second chance at happiness I will be your hell, if you don't know when to stop.
While Mira was rushing out to meet Jack or rather rescue Jack, two people were heading towards her home. They missed running into each other by a few minutes. They decided to be wiser this time and came together. They were going to use the pretense of reconciling with her to get her to open the door. Once inside…hehe…hehe…. They stood at door ringing the bell and knocking on the door. Only silence greeted them. Jason wondered if he should use the side gate like last time but gave up on the idea as they heard voices coming from the road. Three men who were dressed roughly knitted their brows as they looked at the sneaky people outside the house. “This is my friend’s house” Alina smiled sweetly at the peasant that were looking suspiciously at them. “I am here to pay her a visit with my husband.” Alina held on to Jason’s hand affectionately. “You are friends with the lady of the manor?” One of them scratched his head. “Um” “The lady left a few minutes ago.” Another pointed in the d
Second chance at happiness Don't knock me silly.
Everyone waited silently for Mira to come out from under the blanket. Mira slowly put her head out from the blanket thinking that everyone left since the sounds stopped. Jack watched his wife with an amused smile. His heart that was hanging by the thread fell back to its original position. “Mom” She called out embarrassedly with a pout ‘Why was everyone here?’ “What else can I do if your husband refuses to eat for a day?” Ursula thought Mira was venting on behalf of Jack and explained helplessly. “A day??” Mira shrieked as she looked around. “Um” Anne-Marie jumped to Mira’s side and began to animatedly explain everything she saw and knew… which surprisingly was a lot. “I have worried you all.” Mira looked apologetically at everyone, mostly Jack. “You have woken up…. That is all there is to it.” Ursula wiped her tears. Once all the mushy sentiments were out of the way, Anne-Marie started to talk animatedly about the grand lady that came and blasted the stinky pair that came. Mir
Second chance at happiness Will something bad happen to you if I am here?
They both woke up early but the temptation of having his soft and warm wife snuggled in his arms was too great for Jack to resist. They indulged shamelessly; Mira leaned bonelessly in his embrace as they reached the peak of bliss together. They realized that they had left their dresses back in space after regaining their senses. Mira kissed Jack as she transported them to space. They decided to take a dip in the hot spring so that Jack didn’t have to go to the stream to take a bath. Mira realized that the hot spring also has healing properties as she saw the telltale marks left behind by Jack disappear as she dipped in the spring. They quickly dried themselves using the linen Mira had left on a tree branch and came out in their unique style. Jack quickly went to milk the cows while Mira busied herself making Jack’s breakfast. He was going to be seriously late for work but luckily for him, he had the horse that he had to return to the tavern. He went straight to Almera’s dressmakers t
