Chapter 05: Meeting Each Other Again
ABALA si Kylian sa pagbabasa ng ilang dokumento nang marinig niyang bumukas ang pintuan ng office niya. Napaangat ang tingin niya at ang kaibigan na si Dylan ang nakita.
He frowned at him, “What are you doing here?” he asked.
Tumuloy-tuloy ito ng pasok sa loob ng office at naupo sa couch na nasa harapan ng desk niya. “And what do you think? Binibisita—damn! Why do you have dark circles under your eyes? That’s not the kind of look I was expecting from someone who just got engaged.”
He looked at Dylan with his eyebrows raised questioningly, “What kind of look should I have?”
Ikinibit nito ang balikat. “I don’t know. Siguro yung mukhang motivated man lang. Not unlike your look right now. Dinaig mo pa ang kakaga

One Last Chance Chapter 06: A Shocking Announcement
NERVE WRACKING—that’s what Zariyah was feeling right now. Kaya kanina ay nagpunta siya sa powder room ay para pakalmahin ang sarili niya. She was able to but only for a bit. Hindi niya inaasahan na sa pagbalik niya sa mesa nila ay naroon na si Kylian. Inilahad niya ang kamay rito. “Hi, I’m Zariyah,” she greeted with a smile on her face. May ilang sandali nitong tinitigan ang kamay niya bago tinanggap iyon. She could her own heart pounding fiercely out of her chest as she took the seat beside him. When Mr. Fontanilla called her early this morning at inaya siya nitong kumain sa labas kasama si Kylian ay hindi na siya nagdalawang-isip pa. Isang mabilis na oo ang ibinigay niya. She was excited at nagpaalam pa siya kay Mr. Laxamana na mag-u-undertime siya. “By the way, I already ordered Zariyah. Maya-maya ay darating
One Last Chance Chapter 07: Marry Her Or Else...
PINATAY ni Kylian ang makina ng sasakyan at napasubsob sa manibela. He had never been this exhausted before. Right now he just wanted to take a rest without his dad bothering him. And there’s only one place he thought he could go to. He took out his phone from his pocket and called the first person in his contact. Nakaka-dalawang ring pa lang ay agad din sinagot ang tawag niya. “Hey,” bati niya. “I hope I’m not disturbing you.” Lexie chuckled softly on the other line, “Why, of course no. You know I’ve always looked forward to your calls.” Napangiti siya sa sinabi ng kasintahan. For a moment he was silent at nanatiling nakatitig lang sa gate. But his sudden silence made Lexie worry, “Kylian, are you still there? Did something happen?” “No, nothing,” he replied, shaking his head. “I… I’m in front of your house right now.” “Wait, you are?” “Yes.” Ibinaba agad ni Lexie ang tawag niya. Ipinatong naman niya sa ibabaw ng dashboard ang phone niya. He clos
One Last Chance Chapter 08: Agreement
“THIS is not the file that I asked for, Zariyah.” Inihagis ni Mr. Laxamana sa ibabaw ng conference table ang file na dinala niya. “Hindi mo ba narinig ang sinabi ko kanina? I said I need the file of Legazpi Mall pero ibang file naman itong dinala mo. What is wrong with you? Kanina ka pa nagkakamali.” Zariyah bit her lip at nakaramdam ng matinding pagkapahiya. Bukod sa kanilang dalawa ay naroon din sa loob ng conference room ang ilan sa architect at engineers nila. “I’m sorry, Mr. Laxamana. I’ll bring the file right away.” She hurriedly left the room to look for the file of Triangle Heights. Nang mahanap ay bumalik agad siya sa conference room at inabot kay Mr. Laxamana ang hinahanap nito. It was forty-five minutes later when the meeting was adjourned. Isa-isang nagsilabasan ang mga empleyado sa conference room at tanging sila na lang ni Mr. Laxamana ang naiwan. Abala siya sa pagsasalansan ng ilang mga gamit nang tinawag siya nito. Isang malalim na buntong-hininga
One Last Chance Chapter 09: He’s Mine!
RAMDAM ni Lexie ang mga matang nakatingin sa kanya. Ang ilan naman sa napapadaan sa hotel lobby ay napapalingon sa direksyon niya. Inayos niya ang suot na sunglasses at tiningnan ang suot na relo. Since she didn’t have any schedule for today, nagpasya siyang bisitahin ito sa opisina nito para na rin yayain kumain sa labas. She decided to wait for him at the lobby at tutal naman ay malapit na rin ang lunch break nito. “H-Hello.” Napatingin siya sa babaeng nasa harap niya. Isang alanganin ngiti ang ibinigay nito sa kanya. Bumaba ang tingin niya sa kamay nito na hawak-hawak ang phone. Napansin rin niya ang dalawang babae sa gilid nila na sa tingin niya ay kasama rin nito. “You’re Lexie Cuenca, right?” She nodded. The woman squealed, then she turned to look at her two friends who were also thrilled seeing her in the flesh. “Can I take a picture with you?” “Sure, why not,” she replied, smiling sweetly at her. Tinanggal niya ang suot na sun
One Last Chance Chapter 10: Private Wedding
KYLIAN slammed his hand down on the table, thus drawing his dad’s attention. “Why did you tell Lexie about the marriage?” he asked, anger burning through him. His dad looked up at him; his gaze was calm and steady. “Why not? She would eventually learn about it. Anong pinagkaiba ng ngayon niya malaman o sa susunod na araw?” “But still, ako dapat ang nagsabi sa kanya noon,” he said through gritted teeth. Hindi niya gustong pinangunahan siya ng kanyang ama. “Why do you do things without asking me first? Wala na ba akong karapatan magdesisyon?” “Did she break up with you?” his dad asked instead, ignoring what he just said.
One Last Chance Chapter 11: Married Life
TAHIMIK na tinanggal ni Zariyah ang ipit ng buhok niya at hinayaang bumagsak ang alon-alon niyang buhok. Sa gilid ng mga mata ay nakita niyang tinanggal ni Kylian ang suot nitong tuxedo. “It’s funny how in just a short amount of time, dad was able to prepare these things—starting from the wedding venue, lists of guests, the invitations. Walang pinalagpasan na kahit anong maliit na detalye. He even booked a nice place for our honeymoon.” Humarap si Kylian sa kanya at ang tingin nito ay tila ba nang-aakusa. “Hindi ko tuloy maiwasan mag-isip na para bang matagal ng naka-plano ito.” Muli ay hindi siya nakakibo. Hindi alam kung anong maaaring sabihin dito. Kumuha si Kylian ng damit at pumasok ng banyo. Pagkalabas ay isang puting t shirt at ripped jeans ang suot na nito. “T-teka, sandali.” Hinawakan niya ang braso nito. “Saan ka pupunta?” Hinigit nito ang braso mula sa pagkakahawak niya. “It’s none of your business.” “But it’s our honeymoon!” Ipinagdiinan pa n
One Last Chance Chapter 12: Unexpected Visitor
NATIGILAN bigla si Zariyah nang makitang hindi nag-iisa si Kylian ng umuwi. He had brought with him the person she least expected to see—si Lexie. At sa bahay pa mismo talaga nila. Nang makabawi mula sa pagkagulat ay pinilit niyang ngumiti at sinalubong ang mga ito. “I didn’t know that we had a guest,” she spoke, thankful that her voice didn’t crack. Lexie flashed her a smile, but it wasn’t a genuine one. Ang ngiti nito ay tila ba nang-iinis. “Kylian invited me,” sagot nito. “Ang sabi ko ay gusto kong makita sana ang bagong bahay na tinutuluyan nito.” Bumaba ang tingin niya sa kamay nito na nakahawak sa braso ng asawa. Her gaze shifted then t
One Last Chance Chapter 13: Who is He?
ANG nakangiting mukha ni Grey ang unang bumungad sa kanya pagkababa nito ng bintana ng kotse nito. His unexpected arrival threw her in total confusion. She just stood there, staring at him and wondering what could be the reason why he suddenly came. “Ang ama mo ba ang hanap mo?” tanong niya pagkaraan dito. A frown marred his handsome features. “You’re kidding, right? Bakit ko naman pupuntahan ang ama ko rito kung alam kong sermon ang aabutin ko?” She laughed and shook her head. “And whose fault do you think it is?” Sumimangot ito sa kanya. “I don’t need another lecture from you.” Nagkibit balikat siya. “So, why are you here? Huwag mong sabihin ay may pinopormahan ka sa isa sa mga empleyado ng ama mo?” Sa halip na sagutin nito ang tanong niya, Grey opened the door of his car. “Get in,” wika nito. Nagtataka niya itong tiningnan. “Why would I?” tanong niya. Hindi alam kung susundin ba niya ang sinabi nito o hindi. Malay niya ba kung saan siya nito
