Kicking the quilt off, she crawled in his lap. Placing one hand on his cheek and the other at the back of his neck, she inched closer. "Andrew—" "Hmm?" "I think I am falling for you, what should I do?" …… This is the second book of the 'Unexpected Encounter' series.

Chapter 1Prologue

The wind was strong and the sky was pouring mercilessly. Her wedding gown was soaked and covered in mud. But she stood there unfazed.

Ignoring the constant honking and yelling, she was standing in the middle of the road in a daze.

She didn't care, she didn't care about anything anymore. For her, life stopped when the man she loved left her at the altar. The happiest day of her life had turned out to be the most dreadful one.

What had she done to deserve such misery? All she wanted was to marry the man she loved and live a happy life. Was that too much to ask for?

Rachael Watson, the daughter of the renowned business Michael Watson and his wife Rita Watson, had everything one could wish for. She was the pampered missy of the Watson household whom everyone loved and cherished.

Despite being the pampered daughter of a wealthy family, Rachael never took anything for granted. Unlike other rich missies who loved showing off their father's wealth, she never acted all arrogant and spoiled.

Even though her father never pressured her to join the family business, she completed her studies and joined the family company. She now helped her big brother, George Watson and her father to manage the company.

Everything in Rachael's life was going in the right direction until love happened. Oliver Reyes happened.

She met him through her best friend Emma Reyes. They were cousins.

Oliver belonged to a mediocre family and was pursuing a degree in arts and acting in a local university. He wanted to pursue acting and become a veteran someday but things didn't look bright for him. But Rachael tried her best to keep him motivated. She assured him that one day he would make it. She even accompanied him to many of his auditions and encouraged him when he didn't make it.

Rachael and Oliver started their relationship with being friends and later turned into lovers. She was delighted to find her lover, her soul mate in her close friend.

For her it was like a dream came true. Their relationship was perfect and everything she could wish for. But things didn't go as smoothly as she had expected it to.

When Rachael's family found out about their relationship, everyone was reluctant to accept them, especially her father.

Michael did not look down on Oliver because he was from a mediocre background but because of his character and sly personality. He didn't care if the man her daughter married was rich or poor, as long as he was hardworking and never gave up on his daughter's happiness, it was enough for him. But unfortunately, he never saw these traits in the guy his daughter had chosen.

How could he just throw away his only daughter to a man who did not deserve her?

Rachael on the other hand, fought with her father and refused to leave the man she loved. She refused to give up on their relationship just because her father thought he didn't deserve her. This made the relationship between the father and daughter very sour and they slowly started falling apart.

Eventually, Michael felt helpless in front of his daughter's wishes and reluctantly accepted their relationship. That was the happiest day of Rachael's life. She could finally be the man she loved, marry him and start a new family with her family's blessings.

Three months after her father's approval, Oliver proposed to her and she happily accepted it. The two families met and the preparation for the wedding began.

Though Rachael didn't wish for a grand wedding, the Watson family did not leave any stone unturned. It was the wedding of their precious daughter, how could it not be grand?

Friends, families, far relatives, business partners, everyone were invited to the wedding. In no time, the wedding became the talk of the town. Media started crawling around the venue a day before the wedding.

Everyone thought it would definitely be the perfect wedding and couldn't wait to give the new couple their blessings. But things didn't go as planned.

After getting the role he had auditioned for a day before their wedding, Oliver abandoned everything and moved up San Francisco where the shooting would take place. He left on the day of the wedding without telling anyone, not even his parents.

When Rachael found out that her groom was missing from her bridesmaid Emma, she did not believe her and started looking for him by herself. She ran from one place to another, she screamed his name, she called him out several times but he never came.

Later she received a MMS from him saying he was leaving. Throughout the video he told her about the movie and his role and how excited he was to start a new journey of his life. But never did he once mention her name or apologize for what he had done.

What about the new journey they were supposed to start? Did that not matter to him at all?

After loving a man with all her heart and soul, is this what she deserved?

"Miss—" A man grabbed her arm and pulled Rachael away from the road. "The car would have hit you." Taking off his coat, he quickly placed it over her shoulder. "Your family is looking for you."

"Uncle Roger—" Tears started rolling down her eyes as she clung to his arms.

Gently patting her back and trying very hard to hold his tears back, he muttered in her ears. "Everything is going to be okay. Let's go home now."

At her lowest point, she met Sawyer, a hidden tycoon who helped her rebuild her life and seek justice against those who made her suffer. As Abigail begins to fall in love with Sawyer, his childhood sweetheart reappears, causing doubt and confusion for her. *** Excerpt: "Okay. Tell me, where do you live?" Sawyer asked, focusing on the street ahead. Fifteen minutes later, Sawyer's vehicle stopped in front of Abigail's house. He was stunned beyond words when he saw the gates. After a few seconds, Sawyer, trying to suppress his shock, turned to her.  "Is this where you live now?" he asked. "Yes, I'm staying here..." Abigail answered excitedly. She wanted to invite him to stop by, but she remembered the rental contract rule stating she couldn't bring her friends or family onto the rooftop. "Can I stop by your house?" Sawyer casually asked, but Abigail felt tense upon hearing that. "Sawyer, I'm so sorry. The homeowner forbade me from bringing guests or family over," she faintly smiled at him. Sawyer was impressed to hear her words, "Aah, so there's a rule like that?" "Yeah. That's why I can't let you enter. If you want to meet me, we can meet at the café. Or, you can call me if you pass by this area." "Sure." ... As soon as Abigail stepped out of the car, Sawyer's smile vanished, and his expression slowly darkened. His sharp eyes remained fixed on Abigail as she entered the small door. Instead of rushing to move his car, he took out his cell phone and made an urgent call. "Hello, Ethan. Tell me, how is Abigail Snow living in my house?" Sawyer asked calmly but firmly. _____ How to contact me: >> Instagram account: authorpurplelight >> FB Page: Author_Purplelight >> Join my Discord Server: https://bit.ly/purplelightserver _____ Notes: The book cover belongs to the author.

Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO

She gave up her dream of shining on the ballerina stage —for him. She sacrificed her self-respect —for him. She forgot her true identity —for him. But even after all that, she couldn’t compare to the woman who held Ryan’s heart. Arwen Quinn, heiress of prestigious Quinn family, realized too late that no matter what she did, she would never win Ryan’s love. The future that awaited her was a life trapped in endless misery of a loveless marriage. So, decisively, she ends their relationship and walks away. What she didn’t expect was that in breaking free from Ryan, she had opened the door for Aiden to enter her life — a chance that he had been waiting for. Aiden Winslow, an enigmatic CEO isn’t just mysterious —he is determined, and won’t allow to take Arwen away from him again. ____ Excerpt: Aiden narrowed his eyes, “Are you sure about this?” “If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t have asked,” Arwen replied coolly. “Stop dawdling. If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else who can get the marriage certificates today.” His expression darkened as he pulled her close. “Once offered to me, it’s mine alone.” Unfazed, Arwen asked, “So, do you accept? If yes, we’ll get the certificates now.” “On one condition,” he said. “I don’t do contract marriages. The woman I marry will be the woman I share my bed with. If you agree, then we’ll—” “Not a problem. Let’s go,” Arwen said without letting him finish, pulling him into the Civil Marriage Bureau.

Transmigrated Into The True Heiress

Eira Kingston, a feared assassin, never imagined that death would lead her to transmigrate into the body of Ephyra Allen, the disgraced first daughter of the once-powerful Allen family. But what shocked her even more was the soft mechanical voice in her mind, addressing her as "master" and informing her that her soul had returned to its original body. Eira dismissed the strange voice, thinking she was having a post-death hallucination. But waking up in a hospital, with memories that weren’t hers flooding back, she was forced to confront the truth. Ephyra’s life had been nothing short of a nightmare. Despite being the legitimate daughter, she was labeled a bastard, shunned by all, and overshadowed by her scheming stepsister, who had stolen the love of her father and her betrothed. To make matters worse, the wealth and status the Allen family enjoyed were all thanks to Ephyra’s late mother, and the only reason she hadn’t been discarded entirely was due to her mother’s inheritance, locked away until she turned eighteen. But Eira wasn’t one to be defeated by circumstances. If she was going to live Ephyra’s life, she would do so on her own terms. She would destroy those who had caused Ephyra pain, claim the inheritance that was rightfully hers, and find out who was behind her own death. Because if there was one thing Eira knew how to do well, it was to survive—and make her enemies pay. However, being a high-schooler with nothing to her name wasn’t enough. As Ephyra, she’s powerless, but as an assassin, she’s lethal. Still, even that wasn't enough until she became the contracted wife of Lyle Aelion—a powerful, enigmatic figure in the business world with a secret illness. And it turns out, the only thing that can relieve him is her scent.

As WSA 2022 had recently concluded, I would have to post my review for this author's work winning a nomination award that I believe she truly deserves. No doubt that I would highly recommend this story for reading as it warmly touched my heart because of its contributing factor when we talk about things related to family life and love; about friendships; and the love between a couple. I hope I can read some more as I have reached the premium chapter in reading this commendable book (Chapter 35). This can be treated as a light novel (depending on the reader's preference) but all I can say is its written contents are worth the read. Writing Quality: The author was able to express clearly through her writing style this interesting and endearing story about love, trust, respect, and all things about the value of family. Upon starting reading, it got me hooked instantly from every chapter; although there were a few minor inconsistencies like misspelled words or wrong word choices used, that didn’t hampered my reading experience. Altogether, I could say that the author has delivered her story smoothly and uniformly. Story Development: The story’s prologue instantly got me engaged into reading it and for every succeeding chapter, it has kept me going to the next to find out what comes through. Starting from the well-thought out characters, we get a smoothly paced story development in which all important events surrounding them are well balanced and well-conceived and constructed by the author. From the main characters up to the supporting characters, their ongoing chemistries are so inspiring, so relatable and so sweet; nothing can be called boring with their dynamic interactions in every chapter. The story’s main plot is so family-oriented and so close and touching to the heart; depicting the love that you once lost in life can be found for a second chance (thus that’s what the novel’s title is all about); not undermining the importance of family and their love with one another (between a couple and between parents and their children and between siblings); and the value of warm friendships. Character Design: Right at the first chapter, our main female character got readily introduced facing the dilemma that her fiancé had created on the important day of their wedding itself. Devastated from her fiancé’s abandonment on their wedding day, all her world crumbled apart shutting herself (grieving process; the denial, anger, all sorts of emotions that felt tearing her inside). But despite the heart-wrenching trauma it brought her, our female lead chose to move on after a full year of complete “inward” healing and recovery in order for her to regain back a better version of herself. Now here comes our main male character into the picture as a returnee from his maternal family’s hometown (Russia). As he became an orphan from childhood after losing his parents in an accident, he was taken in by his maternal family; and had learned also how to cope with his loss. Now that he’s a full-pledged adult, it was time for his return to his former hometown to foresee and handle his father’s company that was handled and taken care of by the vice president who’s nearing his retirement. Our main characters here had sort of became friends in their previous childhood; as the male lead was a friend of the female lead’s elder brother. Both of their families are well-known and own their respective corporations. The main characters and the other supporting characters (from the female lead’s family members as well as her best friends; also with the male lead’s maternal cousin and aunt) were all well-rounded with their various interactions with each other. Only there seems to be a gap or a rift between the male lead with his maternal grandfather as this was earlier revealed in the following chapters. With the male lead visiting the female lead’s home as their special guest, this is the unexpected encounter that the female lead was set up by her father that paved the way for her to get a second chance on love. From this unexpected reunion, what followed between our main characters was something amazing to happen on them; like hitting it off right on the bat. The main male character can be said as a handsome gentleman; so caring and considerate on the main female character’s needs and a loving, reliable person because of the way he treats her. Both of our main characters are so humble; despite coming from wealthy families. I could say at this point that the author was able to bring out the main and supporting characters’ individual personalities right from the start which is something so similarly relatable and so comparable with real living persons. World Background: Every setting or background used for the main characters’ actions was depicted clearly by the author that you would be able to follow where the interactions, exchanges, dynamics, and others are taking place or you would be able to visualize such places as described through the various characters’ dialogues between them. Both families own their mansion residences; in addition to their families’ owned corporations. As such, this is the typical setting used for modern-day, rich families depicted in this type of (novel) genre. Again, congratulations to Author Sofia! [img=recommend]
