The Second Marriage Chance [English] CHAPTER 55: Unveiling the Stranger
Sarah Josh strode into the room, his brow furrowed with concern. "Who are those men?" he inquired, his voice laced with curiosity. It was evident he had crossed paths with those troublemakers. "Just a couple of idiots," I retorted, my irritation palpable. He settled onto the couch beside me. "If you managed to come here to the bar, it means you're doing good." "Yes! I wanted to take the medicine I used to rely on during panic attacks, but I resorted to eating instead. I also calm myself down and avoid negative things, focusing on what can help me." Josh's gaze remained fixed on me. "That's good to hear! But what usually triggers your panic attacks?" I met Josh's gaze, unsure if I should disclose the truth. But since I had promised to trust him, I said, "Every time I remember the immense pain from when your boss and I were still married, I feel like I can't breathe, and my vision blurs or darkens. Surprisingly, since I started spending time with Philip, I rarely feel that way. I
The Second Marriage Chance [English] CHAPTER 56: Secrets in Shadows
Sarah I remembered the day Jakob and I had our conversation through video call, just after I finished arranging my things. It was the day I arrived at Amir's villa from Henderson. The kitchen island where I now stood, nibbling on sliced fruits, was the same spot where our conversation had taken place. Josh came to mind while we discussed my security and other work-related matters. "I'm confused about Josh," I said, thinking I needed to meet him too while staying in Highland Hills. "Josh, who?" Jakob inquired, his fingers halting on the keyboard as he shifted his focus entirely to me. Even at this late hour, he remained dedicated to the BM Technologies office. "Philip's bodyguard. Remember when I asked you to investigate him, and we discovered that his identity records were created only six months ago?" I explained. "Oh, that guy!" Jakob said, finally recalling. "Do you have his photo?" "Why would I have a picture of Josh? And what would you do with it anyway?" "I'll
The Second Marriage Chance [English] CHAPTER 57: Houseguest
Sarah Examining the envelope Josh handed me, I mulled over its contents, weighing the likelihood that it was a gesture of help rather than a potential threat. "Could Jane be aware of Megan's ex's identity?" Jakob inquired. "Only Megan knows who that is. I'm not even certain if Philip is aware," I responded. A chime from the gate startled me, my heart still racing from recent revelations. I glanced towards the clock, its hands whispering tales of a time long past midnight. Who, in the dead of night, sought entry at this ungodly hour? "Someone's at the gate. Just a moment!" I informed Jakob. I swiftly navigated to the surveillance feed focused on the gate, surprised by the identity of the figure outside. "What could they possibly want from me?" *** Philip As Sarah finished getting ready, I received a frantic call from Megan. Tears obscured her words, but the urgency was clear: there was a fire. Soon after, Ethan handed me a hospital report confirming the devastating news: Meg
The Second Marriage Chance [English] CHAPTER 58: House Swap Surprise
Sarah "Who is your visitor?" Jakob asked during our video call. To be honest, I was just as stunned as he was. The unexpected visitor left me reeling, especially since I had just seen him embracing Megan in front of Serenity Pines Estate. "Philip and his two guards," I replied. "Hmm... isn't it late? What does he want from you?" "I have the same question." I felt a twinge of curiosity but was keen on avoiding a confrontation with Philip. Just then, my phone rang, and to my surprise, it was him calling me instead. Jakob raised an eyebrow. "I think your husband won't leave you alone. You better face him," he suggested. With an inadvertent thud, I dropped the phone beside the laptop, accidentally pressing the answer button again. "Hmp! Let him be!" I blurted out. "Let Philip think that Jane and I might already be sleeping." "What do you mean? I heard you, woman!" My eyes widened at the faint sound of Philip's voice echoing through the phone. Jakob just shook his head, once again
The Second Marriage Chance [English] CHAPTER 59: Ashes of Innocence
Sarah When I woke up, I felt the comforting warmth of Philip's arms wrapped around me, his breath gentle against my neck. 'Shit! What time is it?' My eyes darted to the digital clock on the bedside table, widening in alarm at the numbers staring back at me. I tried to slip out of Philip's embrace, but he groaned in protest and tightened his hold. "Philip, I'm going to be late. We have to get up now." As I spoke, his rough hand slipped under my shirt, brazenly cupping my breast. He even dared to pinch it and rolled my nipple over his fingers. Is this scoundrel seriously touching me in broad daylight? "Philip!" "It felt nice," he murmured in my ear, his voice rough from sleep. "Clearly! Because you're perving on me!" I swatted his hand away. "And don't forget, your belongings are still at Serenity Pines. Moreover, I must get ready for work and ensure Jane feels welcome." He blinked awake. "Hmm! Why are you only focusing on Jane? Feed me first." I arched an eyeb
The Second Marriage Chance [English] CHAPTER 60: Burning Allegations
Sarah I accompanied Philip to Serenity Pines Estate. Philip had rearranged our meeting schedule due to our shared involvement in investigating the tragic fire that had engulfed the witch's residence. As we arrived, I noticed two investigators at the villa engaged in a tense conversation with Megan. Megan's surprise was palpable as her eyes met mine, a flicker of disbelief crossing her features. Clearly, she hadn't anticipated my presence at the villa, and the realization seemed to catch her off guard. "It's you! You're the reason my home burned down!" she immediately yelled at me. ‘Whaaat?! Is she serious? What did I do?’ I responded calmly, "Megan, be careful with your accusations. Remember, I can sue you for defamation. And are you absolutely certain that I'm the one responsible for the fire at your villa?" "Of course! No one else would do that to me but you!" she snapped back. "Megan, don't just accuse Sarah," Philip interjected. The woman's teeth clenched and her fist tigh
The Second Marriage Chance [English] CHAPTER 61: SDE
Sarah "What are you doing?" Josh's voice cut through the air. I strained to listen more closely, climbing onto the toilet to catch the voices more clearly. Thankfully, my thoughts hadn't deceived me. The sound was faint, barely more than a whisper since I was eavesdropping from the bathroom, hoping to catch any helpful information. "Go away! I need to smoke to ease my stress, and it doesn't help seeing you here!" Megan's voice was sharp with irritation as she shouted at the bodyguard. "You know it's not Sarah Mitchell. Why are you accusing her of what happened at the villa?" Josh pressed. "I don't need your opinion! Why are you even on Philip's team, huh? To mess with me?" Megan snapped back. "Yes, that's right! You'll see me every day, Megan," Josh's voice trembled with intensity. "This is what you've brought upon me and my family." His anger was palpable "Let go of me, you jerk!" Megan's voice rose in fury. "And you are the most despicable person I've ever met! You're a cunt!
The Second Marriage Chance [English] CHAPTER 62: Price of Wealth
Sarah Reading Jakob's message, I carefully calculated my next steps. Approaching Josh directly about the information we had gathered wasn't an option. I replied: One thing I'm certain about him—he loved Megan, which is why he's seeking answers. And when people love someone, they can do reckless things. Jakob: Agreed. I still needed to figure out if I could trust Josh. Jakob and I need to watch his actions closely. Megan will do whatever it takes, and given their past relationship, it will be easier for her to gain Josh's trust. Me: We must launch LoveLogic. Jakob: That's why we're putting in the effort, doll. Now, we need backing from BM's major sponsors. I need to secure some software and security tools. By the way, are you attending the Langston event because of Madam Cornell's connection with them? Bronn probably informed him about it. Me: Yes. Also, I want to meet the Langstons to try to get their support. According to Bronn, Langston is one of the major sponsors
