Treacherous hearts: Return of the Second Male Lead
Chapter excerpt:
Charlton knew what was running in her head and in truth he wanted to mock her. ’You truly are a whore, aren’t you?’ he wanted to say. However, he was not planning to make this a one-time thing and he had more in store for her. So instead, he leaned forward as he started kissing her tears away. "Serena, I love you so much, do you know that? So please, don’t give me that look."
Serena’s tears did not stop but what was the use. They were already like this and no matter how much she denies it, that she even let something like this happen… there’s only one conclusion. She still loved Charlton. Or at least she was that greedy for his love. She could not push him away so she could only raise her arms and envelope him in her embrace.
"We’re going to burn in hell for this…." She whispered.
Charlton burrowed his head on the juncture of her neck. He licked and kissed that part, careful not to leave a mark as they still will be meeting with the others later. He smirked when he felt her tremble. Why was she so easy? Regardless, he was enjoying what she can offer before he ruins her himself.
"All the more reason to get as much heaven as we can now." He said, then he started moving.

A year after his father’s death, grand duke Charlton Daniel finally responds to the summon of his uncle, the king, to return to the capital. Of course, his reason for compliance was not due to his subservience to the crown.
Four years ago, his life has been turned upside down. His lover betrayed him for his cousin, the crown prince. His father was sent to prison because of a crime with dubious evidence. While he, himself, was sent to exile with a mission to capture the revolutionists. All of which, he took in strides because of his steadfast belief in humanity and justice. However, time changes everyone.
Four years may seem short, but to some, it’s enough to change their perceptions and priorities.
Once a pacifist at heart, Charlton is now going to return to the royal capital with a personal vendetta.

To the public eye, Serena William, nee Maxwell, was living the perfect life. She was beautiful, rich, happily married, and has the unwavering support of her maternal family. Oh, and did I mention that she was also the crown princess and the most loved personage? Yes, that she was. Kind, generous, and approachable. She was a woman who was completely unlike any other. No one in the royal family was as well loved by the masses as she was. At least, that’s how her life was perceived to be.
Behind closed doors, life was not as glamoured up as it was in the tabloids. Her first pregnancy ended up in stillbirth, while the next two ended up in miscarriages. Was this her retribution? She could not help but ask herself. This led to her guilt and self-blame which further developed her insecurity, and even inferiority complex. Aside from what she was undergoing herself, it doesn’t help that the queen mother kept on rubbing salt to injury by implying that she should let her lady-in-waiting, the queen’s first choice for crown princess, take over.
Crown prince Geoffrey William was Serena’s saving grace, her knight in the shining armor, the man who sticked with her through thick and thin. Would she ever be willing to make way for another woman for his own good?
Then worse, comes her old flame who seems to still be enamored with her. What lengths would she be willing to take to keep the pandora’s box shut?
However, there are no secrets that time does not reveal. What will she do when she later finds out what her greatest champion did to her?

Hearts will break, heads will roll. All is fair in love and war. This novel is not for the faint hearted.

This novel is the sequel to the first titled, ‘Making the second male lead fall in love with me, the Villainess’, and is set four (4) years after the royal wedding. (But you don’t need to read the first to understand this one, sequence is not important)
Hi everyone! When inspiration starts to hit, one must start writing. After 8 months is hiatus, i must say that now, i’m ready for this. I tried to continue the novel ‘making the second male lead fall in love with me, the villainess’ initially, but webnovel does not allow me to upload more chapters to an already marked completed novel, so here i am! To all the old readers, i hope not to disappoint. To the new ones, there’s no need to read the original before diving to this one, but it would give you a better understanding of the characters and what transpired in the past. I recommend that you read it if you have time especially especially when you’re already itching while waiting for new chapter releases. Anyhow, this is it, and I hope you’ll stick with me to the end!
I’ve waited for so long for this to come out, it’s like a dream coming true. The first book at least for me it’s more like a fairy tale love story. Considering that the story is about a villainess, all the outcome was to be expected. Moving on to talk about, Treacherous hearts, you all will be extremely surprised not only for how well the author has written so far but for how the pace of the story is going on the right direction, you will be hooked in this new aventure where anything can happen. Serena, Geoffrey and Charlton the question remains, what will happen?… Gosh I can’t wait. 🤩🤩 Thank you author being so good at describing every little thing, you are doing a fantastic job. Looking forward for more chapters .

only 9 chapters in and i already love how rhis is going. i truly admire how the author delves on the thought of each character and explains how their minds work. gives a lot of sense to everything that's happened or happening. i read the prequel so i feel like even at the beginning everything is already suspenseful. but i bet that new readers would also get a feel like that. thanks and please keep on updating!!!
I fell in love with this story when I found it on wattpad but when I discovered there was more chapters here,I was elated and thankful because this novel and the og are the best of the best.The writing quality is so immaculata that I zoned out in a new dimension while reading this.I also really enjoy how the characters articulate in a very stressful situation.
this us ratings are for another novel of yours"Traversing through time to meet you". You have not uploaded a single chapter for so long. I am a die hard fan the novel, and your work, I dont like ditching a novel in middle, to start another, kindly upload and complete that novel, so I can read other novels of yours. ~ Your's Truly.
I’m so glad I was late to the boat with the first novel so I could binge then jump right into this one. I highly recommend reading the 1st before so you have a solid background on the MC and “ML”s relationship. I really hope this next installment gives all us “Cherena” fans a happy ending. Thanks again for all your hard work author!
