His Second Chance 22 - A Meeting Chance
Madeline slowly took away her hands from Abel's and looked away. Abel caught the tenseness in her and offered a smile to limit the awkwardness. “I would like it if you would talk to me Madeline. We are...friends aren't we?” And, Madeline was quick to say. "We are friends Abel. I mean you've helped me in my times of need.”“Then as friends I want you to open up with me. You know about my feelings.” Abel said and Madeline sighed again. “Let's not go into that topic Abel. I already told you am not committed for love right now.” Madeline hoped Abel would drop the subject. It wasn't a surprise to Abel that Madeline had trust issues and knew it had something to do with Molly's dad. Madeline also never told Ava about her past with Kane. “You know am willing to wait for you. It's been over four years now and am willing to continue waiting...”“No please Abel. You can't continue waiting for me. Am not thinking of love and I don't think I'll ever love again.” Madeline was moving towards the kit
His Second Chance 23 - No Longer Interested
Kane got his head off the table and had a look around. Everywhere still felt hazy and when it all cleared, he hissed and was quick to hold the side of his head. He had another look around and it took him a while to realize he dozed off by the bar counter last night. He had more drinks than he intended to and th consequences came in form of a splitting headache.He recalled last night's events. His lips thinned and he tried to pull himself together. “I don't need you. You weren't worth it at all. Am...glad you walked out of my life.” He gritted and slurred to no one but himself. Wanting to get up from the stool and it seemed his head was going to fall off.“Harley! Harley...damn!” He held his head with both hands and got himself off the stool. He passed a mirror and stared at himself. He was still in his business suit from last night and his tie was loosened like a slacker. He was more than this and wasn't meant to be drinking away just because Brenda decided to end things. His hair wa
His Second Chance 24 - Knowing About Her
Kane only moved his feet closer to the woman still on the floor when a man rushed towards the woman and yelled out her name, “Madeline!” Kane froze on the spot as that name was like a siren in his ears. He never would have heard that name in a place like this and watched that man kneeling to help the woman up. Curiosity got the better of Kane and he found himself walking closer when Mariana grabbed his arm making him turn to look at her.“Mrs Anderson and her chauffeur are coming towards us. Also, Mr Benson is waving at us.” Mariana uttered lowly while standing by his side and was quick to put her arm with his. To everyone, they looked like the ideal and perfect couple. “Mr Whitemon. A pleasure.” Kane walked ahead to share a hug with Mrs Anderson. “The pleasure is all mine Mrs Anderson. I wasn't expecting you at this fashion show. I thought you'll be chilling somewhere in the Philippines. Your husband once told me you loved the cities there.” Kane smiled and Mrs Anderson began to blu
His Second Chance 25 - Investigation
Kane couldn't look away from the man by the corner and had to ask. “Who is that man Mr Gallagher?” Mr Gallagher had to turn around and a familiar smile filled his lips. “That's Abel Ronee. He's an employee of mine. A very wonderful employee at that too.” Kane smiled at the compliment and said. “Can I have his information from your work database Mr Gallagher?” Mr Gallagher furrowed his brows and even Mariana stared at Kane with a confused expression. Kane was quick to smile and not let them see something else on his face. “Believe me it's just for work issues.” Mr Gallagher smiled and nodded. “Of course Mr Whitemon. And, I believe you are going to have some of our designs from tonight's collections available in your stores?”“Certainly Mr Gallagher. My assistants will contact you by tomorrow. I don't turn down any deal that adds more zeros to my net worth.” Kane chuckled a little and even though it seemed like he would be caught out for it but his eyes kept going back to Abel once ver
His Second Chance 26 - Why Do You Care
Molly woke up around eleven in the morning. She wasn't a deep sleeper like her mother but last night made her exhausted. Ava had left for the restaurant and hour ago and it was only Madeline at home. Molly came out to meet her mother busy with some work in the living area. She was quiet and had her throat dry decided to head towards the kitchen for a cup of water. She was still very much upset with her mother for yelling at her the other day. She was halfway to the kitchen but her stomach growled which made Madeline turn to her side. “Honey, you're up?” Madeline smiled before getting up from the single sofa. “Are you hungry?” She walked towards the kitchen and was about to open the refrigerator. Not getting an answer, Madeline closed up the fridge back to now look down at Molly who had her head very low. “What's the matter sweetie?” Madeline got down to hold her and Molly raised her head to stare at her mother. “Am...sorry for not talking to you yesterday mommy. I realize that it was
His Second Chance 27 - Having Fun
“Will you tell me?” Madeline sighed and dropped her bottle to her side before staring up. She didn't want to remember old memories. Memories that hurt her deeply because she had never loved anyone as much as she loved Kane. He was like the other half of her soul. “His name is Kane. Molly's dad.” Madeline gulped and recalled her happy times with Kane. The first time they bumped into each other during their first year in university. Madeline was running late for class while joggling massive piles of books in her hands. Rushing to class and she bumped into someone with pretty emerald green eyes that locked with hers as soon as she fell to the floor. That's where it all began. She recalled his smile on her. How her heart did flutter to bump into a handsome lad on her very first day of school. A little teary and Madeline was quick to wipe her face. She sniffled before she felt Ava's hands tightly holding unto hers. “What exactly happened? Where did it all go wrong?” Ava enquired. “That's
His Second Chance 1 - Prefect
“Yes, am almost at my apartment.” Madeline said with a wide smile plastered on her face. She had just finished her part time job at a local restaurant for the day and was heading home to take a real bath. “Alright, so you don't have plans for tonight. Then come over to the club for a girl's night. It's a Friday Madeline.” Her friend Jane said over the phone.“You know I don't do parties especially night ones. And, besides am already exhausted from working overtime today.” Madeline just entered the bus that would take her home. She heard her friend sigh heavily over the phone. “You're such a bore Madeline. It's a Friday and all the girls are having fun over here with some hot guys. You can bring your boyfriend with you as well.” Madeline hated the fact that Jane was always a persistent person. She found an empty seat by the window and hurriedly took it before anyone else would. Manhattan could become like a beast on a Friday night due to the fact that people were heading home from work
His Second Chance 2 - Acceptance Letter
The weekends were a blast. Madeline continued on her designs project and was able to make some time for studying her other courses for the semester. She couldn't afford to slack off even during the weekends. Kane returned home late on a Saturday evening. He slouched on the couch and had a tired face. He had a meeting with a client and was to pitch his idea but Madeline could see that things didn't go so well.“How was your day today?” She brought him a glass of water and sat beside him. Kane smiled at Madeline before taking the glass from her hand and gulped down the whole content. Madeline helped him in loosening his tie. “You didn't go to the restaurant today?” He asked in his tired voice. Madeline shooked her head. “I asked Mr Yang to give me the day off in return to work overtime tomorrow. We are low on rent so....” Madeline paused to see Kane resting his head more against the couch. “What happened?” She asked before she helped him take off his jacket. Kane yawned and said. “Mr F
