Lahat ng Kabanata ng SECOND CHANCES: love and revenge : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

The phone by her bedside woke her up, Mira's groggy eyes opened, trying hard to adjust to the sudden assault of light.Checking the caller id,the name that flashed ignited flames of hatred in her once innocent soul." Hello Caleb" She answered,her voice alienated. The Mira on the phone was a completely different Mira of yesterday. Something in her had changed. But what is it? No body could tell." Mira,are you okay?" Even Caleb who paid the least attention to her could feel the change in her." Am alright,why are you calling?" Mira asked,not wanting to beat around the bush with treacherous beings." Just calling to remind you of our dinner date. I told you it's special right?" Caleb said.Ofcourse it was special, afterall it was the start of her painful death." I'll be there. If you have nothing else to say,I'll hang up." Mira's emotionless voice echoed on the other side of the phone catching Caleb off guard.For as long as he can remember, Mira was always enthusiastic to prolong the

" I can see that you've grown some wings and have the audacity to talk back to me!" Her father said gritting his teeth,but Mira traced something else apart from the anger.Was it anger? Disdain or mockery? She couldn't place her finger on that feeling but something came clear,her father wasn't fond of her one bit.For as long as she can remember,her father never paid attention to her other than when reprimanding her. It was just ironical how he loved, spoiled and gave in to each whim of his bastard daughter while ignoring his legitimate one. Mira couldn't believe just how her past self was ignorant, how could she have not noticed that age wasn't wanted in the Jones family. Her father did not consider her family at all.Mira chuckled,a chuckle filled with self mockery," I have always had the wings,just tried to keep them at bay just to give you some respect as a father,but I just realized that you don't deserve it." Mira said out loudly, loudly enough for her words to echo in the four

Mira watched as Caleb kneeled down on one knee. Looking at him you could mistake his calmness as sincerity but she knew that all this was fake. An act made to fool her into digging her grave.Caleb watched as Mira just stood watching him, nothing could be read from her current facial expressions,but that was definitely not the reaction he expected from her. He was expecting to see her cry amidst smiling due to his proposal, little did he know that his little pathetic act was already seen through by Mira.Looking at him,Mira could mistake this as a sincere proposal. She was sure anyone on the receiving end would feel his heart brim with happiness, afterall, wasn't that her reaction in the past life. If it was the old Mira,she would be in her knees, tightly hugging Caleb to show her happiness but this was not her.After facing betrayal From them in her past life,all Mira wanted was to exert her revenge in this life and experience love From the sole man who loved her to no end. She watch

Parking her car,she alighted the car and took hurried steps towards the company entrance. It was past working hours and only afew people could be seen at the vicinity. Stepping by the lobby, she was about to use the private elevator specifically made for the president when the security guard stopped her." Excuse me Miss, you cant use that elevator,please board the common one." The guy politely reminded her but before Mira could answer, Luke, Timothy's personal assistant stepped out of the private elevator." Miss Jones,you are here?" He asked obviously relieved seeing her here. He had been requesting his president to stop drinking but he wouldn't listen. He just hoped that she will be able to talk him out of drinking." This way please." Luke said ushering Mira to the private elevator. He then turned to the security guard and politely reminded him not to dare stop her next time Incase he sees her there..Luke knew that Timothy would throw a tantrum if he ever heard that his girl was

" Tim, thankyou. thankyou for giving me a chance to make up for the things I did wrong in my past life. Thanks for allowing me to be with you, Tim,I love you." Mira confessed emotionally. She was glad that even after all the pain she caused him, he still gave her such a wonderful chance to Love him.Tim caught a word in her sentence that confused him? past life? what did she mean by that? " Past life? what past life are you talking about Mira?" He was sober somehow so he knew that he heard her,it was not alcohol manipulating his hearing ability. Mira realized that she had a slip of tongue in her words. She was not ready go share that part of her life yet,it would come later when their relationship progressed. She was damn sure that he would believe without questioning her or thinking she was crazy but she won't ruin this magical moment for that." I mean in these past few years. I have ignored your feelings and chased after something unworthy." She corrected herself throwing any expl
