Another Chance At Love—But Which Ex?!

DEENA'S POV"According to her results, your mother has a rare type of ovarian cancer also known as Ovarian Clear Cell Carcinoma, and it's currently at stage 3. Because this type of cancer is extremely rare, the treatment would be expensive and it would require surgery, therapy and possibly immunotherapy. I am informing you now that this type has no exact treatments unlike any other types of cancer, and we'll have to experiment should you wish to proceed with treatment. If you approve, we must start the treatment as soon as possible to prevent it from damaging her organs."I covered my mouth in shock and Daniel wrapped me in a hug. Days passed since Mom fainted and admitted, and we waited for the result, praying that it's nothing serious. But in the end, not all of our prayers are answered. "Why her, Daniel? Mom has always been careful with her health. Why did this have to happen to her?" I wailed, clutching my brother desperately to borrow some support. My brother and I cried, and

DEENA'S POVLike I said, fate can be cruel sometimes because what do you mean I'm joining a show with two of my exes?! "You look great, Dee. You haven't changed a bit." Ethan's words reached my ear and I turned back to look at him with a small smile etching on my face. My eyes observed the face of my first love and my first boyfriend at the age of eighteen. And I don't know if I'm hallucinating, but the way he looked at me didn't change one bit. "You don't look so bad yourself." I responded with an approved nod while trailing my eyes down his body. Ethan might be my ex-boyfriend, but unlike Trenton, our separation wasn't a bitter one. He didn't cheat on me like my ex-husband did. Ethan had to leave the city because of his parents, and Arizona is too far from New Jersey. We decided to break up after six months of dating because we knew long distance relationships don't work, but we remained friends until we stopped communicating with each other eventually. My eyes shift

DEENA'S POVSure enough, Allyson's answer was different from Ethan. She wrote that they met at the airport when she missed her flight. Allyson looked disappointed by Ethan's answer. I kept a straight face when my eyes connected with my ex-boyfriend, who had a longing look on his face,and I just sighed at him, although I remember our first meeting as well.After Ethan and Allyson, four more couples showed their answers and two of them matched. Trent and I were the last ones to show our answers and I was pretty confident that we would match.But I was just kidding myself."Trenton and Deena, please show us your answer."We flipped the board together and my face fell along with my heart at the words written on his board.'At a coffee shop somewhere and she spilled her coffee on me.'My eyes sharpened when I looked at him and he had the audacity to grin at me!The jerk has a death wish!*Audience's Space@UpToYou: Zyke is such an A-hole. I won't even think of giving her another chance if

DEENA'S POV We familiarize ourselves with each other. Sharing names, jobs, and basic information about one another. I could tell Allyson is still awkward with me and she only interacted with me in front of the others, but I didn't mind. So far, I felt comfortable with Patty and Alice. They seemed nice and even offered me new and unused underwear. "You know, I actually thought they'd make us stay in a room with our ex. I'm glad they didn't. Imagine the atmosphere. I might end up killing my ex." Natasha commented and we all agreed. "Imagine the meaningless fuck and endless fights." Patty added while cringing, and we laughed. "Seriously, yes. I watched other shows like this where they forced the couples to stay in one room and it was a disaster!" "At the end of the day, we are all here to give our ex another chance, right?" Vicky interjected and there was a pregnant pause. "Or find someone new. Who knows?" Tori countered and I could tell some of them did not like the idea.
