last update publish date: 2026-06-06 17:39:04

The dimly lit bar buzzed with music and young men and women vibing to the rhythm. At the corner was Olivia drinking whiskey directly from the bottle.

Her eyes were transfixed on her phone and on display was one of the pictures of her ex-husband and her supposed best friend sharing an intimate moment in a swimming pool.

Her eyes had gotten too weak from crying, the betrayal she least expected was that from her childhood friend. They've been through thick and thin together.

Her phone was buzz

  • The Day She Chose Herself, He Begged For A Second Chance.   CHAPTER 106_ Date

    BIANCA“Oh my goodness! You and Andrew? That's cute! I swear you have to go!” I know, my insides were tingling too but mum will skin me alive if she knows about this, i just have to go without her finding out about it. I've got to start living on my own terms. All I should be wary of is teenage pregnancy. “I know, but I don't know what to wear, I also have no idea of the place we are going to hang out..” “Hmm..let me take a look at your outfits..”I walked to my wardrobe and switched the video call to the back camera. The outfits in the wardrobe were mostly for cozying up on the couch. There's still a long way for me to go if I truly want to start living like a normal teenager. “When was the last time you went to the mall to get new clothes? Everything in there is screaming two summers ago..”Ashley's sarcastic remark was the last thing I wanted to hear right now. I casually shuffled through the hangers and picked out a light pink gown. “I think I'll go with this..” "Bianca..”

  • The Day She Chose Herself, He Begged For A Second Chance.   CHAPTER 105_ Traumatized

    BIANCA I tapped my feet on the ground earnestly waiting to hear what she wanted to speak to me about. A ton of questions warped through my mind at that time. Was she about to ask me if her son was doing drugs or chasing after girls? I crossed my feet when she placed her cup of tea down on the table. “Dear.. you don't have to be tense..” Her lips pulled up into a smile, I finally relaxed a little bracing myself for the worst or good.. whatever. “Umm.. it's about Kyle..” I adjusted on the couch with my eyes concentrated on her. I saw mum become really attentive, she arched a brow at me which I pretended not to see. “He's really lagging behind in his studies, he doesn't want any tutor that Mr Bradford recommended. I don't want him to throw his life away..” Okay, that took a different turn. I listened on since she wasn't done with her words. “I heard you're the brightest in your class..” “So you want my daughter to tutor him instead?” I know my mum didn't mean to sound that harsh

  • The Day She Chose Herself, He Begged For A Second Chance.   CHAPTER 104_ Urgent

    BIANCA Beep! Beep! I groaned deep in my sleep when the alarm went off, adjusting on the bed, I stretched a hand trying to grasp the little noise maker since I was still asleep. My finger brushed on the alarm clock before I heard a thud on the ground. A frustrated groan left my lips which made me sit up immediately, the alarm was still ringing and now it was somewhere under my bed. Arghh. The weekend, that's my favorite part of the week, no trouble. Just me, my laptop and Netflix. I've always been lazy during the weekend and also free because I do most of my assignments on Friday and I get to enjoy all of my weekend doing nothing but chilling and snacking on chips all day. My hair fell over on my face and I quickly brushed it back before stepping out of bed. The alarm clock wasn't in sight which means it was under the bed. But the boogie monster lives there! Just kidding, I stopped being afraid of the bed monster when I was fifteen. I dropped to my knees and bent through the op

  • The Day She Chose Herself, He Begged For A Second Chance.   CHAPTER 103_ Pathetic

    BIANCA Andrew was the first to meet up with me, he stretched out his folded knuckles and I did the same bumping my knuckles with his. His smile was contagious, I didn't realize I was smiling until my lips stretched to its width limit. “You girls did it! What a confidence booster..” Andrew started. He took a glance behind me. “Jade, you should consider adding them to the cheerleading team. They are naturally good”I heard Jade snort behind me until she walked forward purposely bumping her shoulder into mine. “And why should I do that? They don't have what it takes. Just good old plane-jane’s” She mocked with a snicker.I was badly tempted to claw out her ugly face with my nails. How can anyone be so arrogant and bitchy at the same time?“You all stink of sweat.. get out of here..” Jade complained with her fingers pinching the tip of her nose. All the guys laughed except one, his eyes met mine for a second and he quickly looked away. Was he mad at me? He was the first to excuse hims

  • The Day She Chose Herself, He Begged For A Second Chance.   CHAPTER 102_ Thrilling

    BIANCA The game went on for a few minutes and the cheering from greenstone high had gone down to almost a whisper because we were at zero shot while the other school had managed to score ten shots. I could see the tension lingering on the court, Kyle wasn't focused at all and neither was Andrew.Of course, he only had the looks and nothing more. A part of the crowd cheered on at the eleventh shot made by the other team. A low hiss left my lips, we've been doing well in the basketball games before his arrival and now that he joined, it's all different. "Darn it!" I heard Ashley cuss next to me, a look of frustration worn over her face. Not only her, but the whole of Greenstone high had a smug look on their faces. The whistle blew indicating the second quarter was over and all players left the court to go get ready for the next quarter. I've always been obsessed with winning because that's what mum taught me. You either win or you'd be mocked forever. I left for the bench where the

    BIANCAHis face turned to the other side, I stood there watching him freeze for a second scared for what he might do next. That wasn't intentional, just an action of reflex like mum had taught me. I thought my actions would send him far away from me, but he stayed. A slow and wicked grin tugged by the side of his lips. Turning back to me, his blue eyes glowed differently. "You're quite bold.." The words rolled on his tongue. He sounded calm but behind his eyes lay another emotion I couldn't figure out. "If you try that one more time, then I will..." I raised my hand to demonstrate another slap just In case he tried it for a second time but amazement, he grabbed my hand and pinned it against the wall above my head with his own hand. My legs vibrated with an unknown current, I felt a shift down there when his eyes locked down on mine. I tried to pull my hand off only to realize how much of a pathetic weakling I am compared to him. "If you try that one more time, I will kiss you.."
