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.
