156. Distress
Reminiscing Audrey’s words from today was sending my heart into panic, but I realized that there was also a hidden silver lining in all of this. The fact that Marcus was still affected by my presence in his life spoke volumes. I still had some say in his life and he still cared about me somewhere deep inside. I just had to focus on that part and help him realize it. After all, there was still something left in our relationship to salvage.
I hadn’t realized that I was wearing a smile when I walked into the house. However, I was instantly taken aback when I found Lucien and Bella sitting in the living room. When Marcus kicked me out of his house, Ethan and Natalie insisted that I live with them for the time being. Nowhere else in the town would be safe enough for me, and they also lived closest to the university, making it a better choice over all. Since I knew that I couldn&r

“Dr Irene is on call.” The nurse came to my side right that instant, forcing me to peel my eyes off Audrey. Tucking the phone under my ear and shoulder, I said, “Yes?” “Kiara, I’m right now stuck in surgery and can’t make it there in time. I’ll be sending in my assistant George and he should know what to do. In the meantime, could you please check if the airway is patent?” I quickly hurried towards Marcus, standing behind his head. Opening his mouth, I tried to visualize his airway. I could see some soot and deposition, alarming me. “It doesn’t look good.” I mumbled on the phone. “Alright, let’s intubate him to be on the safe side.” She said, “Can you do that?” “Yes,” I said with hesitation. “Yes I can. I learned it just yesterday.” “Good. Get to it and relieve his airway. George should be there by then and will know how to proceed.” Tumbling the phone aside, I got to work. After choosing the appropriate tube, I opened his mouth to insert it inside. He was unconscious, mea

“Marcus is awake now, you can see him.” I smiled at Amanda. A look of relief took over her face as she heaved a huge sigh of relief. Motherly affection poured out of her face as she heard my words, and she smiled back at me in gratitude. Behind her, Bella, Ethan and Bernard rejoiced upon hearing the news, for they had been nothing but anxious since they arrived in the hospital a few minutes ago. The family headed toward Marcus’ room and Audrey followed behind them. However, before she got any closer to him, I pulled her aside. “What are you doing? Let me go!” She shrieked, twisting her arm from my grip. “What did you do to him?” I sheathed. She frowned at me, “What do you mean?”“We found remnants of your toxic potions in his throat, so quit pretending that you had nothing to do with this.”She seized struggling right then, her eyes slightly widening. Caught red handed, she clenched her jaw in anger. “It was accidental. I swear I didn’t do anything.”“Oh, yeah?” I said, “What the

I couldn’t help but inwardly smirk at what he was proposing. This was something Bernard had already revealed to me a few days ago. He told me that one day Marcus would approach me regarding this ball and ask me to accompany me. According to Bernard, it was an opportunity I simply can’t let go of because it will help me get closer to Marcus again. While I wasn’t entirely approving of his methods, I knew that I had no other choice. This was my best shot and there was no way I could lose it.“Well,” I said, “When is it going to be?”“This weekend. That is in two days.”“That’s going to be inconvenient. I have work to do.”“I can sort th

I couldn’t help but inwardly curse at Marcus for delaying our journey.We were supposed to start early in the morning so we could reach our destination by evening. But as usual, Marcus had an important business to take care of before we could set off. When I tried to fish the details out of him, he acted rather defensive, making me even more suspicious. So I instantly texted Bella to find out if she knew more, and she did. Her text went something like:‘I heard screams coming from his room in the morning. Looks like he just revealed to Audrey that he was going to attend the ball with you and not her and that you two will finally get some alone time. Audrey obviously didn’t like it and threw a tantrum. I didn’t fail to hear Marcus say that he was sick of her being so jealous all the time and that she coul
My Second Chance With The Alpha 161. There's a problem
I didn’t realize when I’d fallen asleep or how long I had been out. But when I woke up, I expected to find my head against the cold surface of the window. However, I was surprised to notice that my cheek was pressed against something warm and soft, and my nose was instantly greeted with an all too familiar scent.It didn’t take me long to realize that I was resting my head on Marcus’ shoulder.“Kiara?” His voice greeted my ears, completely waking me out of my sleep. I slightly pulled away, and when I was sure that I heard right, I sat back up straight. When I turned to look at Marcus, he was staring back at me as though he were the one who did the inappropriate thing.“Sorry.” I said, edging away from him.&nbs
My Second Chance With The Alpha 162. I lost that right
Marcus’ POVI awoke in the middle of the night to find my head tangled in her head. Given the size of the bed, we had no choice but to snuggle up against each other. Although we had done this several times in the past, it felt to me that it was the very first time I was holding her so close. It was perhaps because I’d been deprived of this feeling for so long that it was beginning to feel foreign for me. All these days I couldn’t understand what I was feeling for her. I couldn’t explain the sudden disinterest in her, the sudden lack of emotional dependency. Suddenly, I wanted something else, something so bizarre that even my heart couldn’t accept it. In my head, I knew the strategic reasons of why I accepted to marry Audrey, but I couldn’t understand the true reason for it all myself. If it weren’t for that day in the hospital when Kiara saved my life, I perhaps wouldn’t have realized that I still had feelings for her, that I still valued her more than what I let myself believe. Th
My Second Chance With The Alpha 163. Except for one person
Marcus’ POV I watched as Kiara threw her head back and laughed at another one of Jack’s silly jokes. The young lad was charming and kind with a sense of humor that could ease anyone into a conversation, even reserved women like Kiara. It had been long since I saw her like that, making me even more grateful for his presence on this trip. We were currently stopped at an eatery to have breakfast, where I’d stepped away to make a phone call. Every time my heart swelled with emotions towards her, an equally powerful force dragged me away. I had never thought such a thing would be possible where my mind wanted something but I couldn’t get it. But that was how black magic worked. It would drive people to do things that they would never even dream of doing, and they will have no power over it. I understood that part very well when my heart began to see the reality, but there was still very little I could do to prevent anything. Every time I thought about Kiara, my mind would take me ba
My Second Chance With The Alpha 164. Good things from the past
Kiara’s POV Marcus has been acting weird. First he asked to share a bed with me in the cottage last night, and now he was willing to sign us up in the same room. When I’d asked him why we couldn’t stay in separate rooms now that we were at the verge of separation, he gave me a glare. “No couple stays in different rooms.” “But we’re not a couple.” I shrugged, “And I doubt the people around will notice anything.” “I don’t want to risk it.” He said, “Like it or not, as long as we’re here, we need to act like the perfect couple.” I scoffed at him. “Like it or not?” I repeated, “As if I were the one that had a problem with anything.” “We’re going to stay in the same room. End of discussion.” “Geez, fine.” I said, playfully slapping his arm. Mere seconds ago, he was the perfect gentleman who would open the door for me and help me carry my bags, but within seconds he went back to being a rude idiot. Sometimes I really think he was hormonal. Nothing else could explain this bipolar na
