Lahat ng Kabanata ng Whispers of a Second Chance: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

One week ago…"I glanced at my reflection in the mirror while running my fingers over my face, noticing a significant weight loss. After washing my face, I left the bathroom and began tidying up my room. As I gazed at the luggage I had brought from the Villafuertes’ mansion, memories flooded back of the day I first moved in there. I was overjoyed to join their family. Why am I getting emotional all over again? As I was cleaning, the door suddenly swung open, revealing Tyler entering the room.He asked about what I was doing, and I demonstrated that I was in the process of unpacking.“What's up, Tyler?” I inquired as he made himself comfortable on my bed.“It's nice to have you back!” He greeted me with a smile, clearly teasing me about my recent visit to the Villafuertes’ mansion.It seemed like my lifestyle didn't quite align with theirs. While unpacking my clothes, I heard a faint clatter. Tyler immediately got up and searched for the source, chuckling as he held up my wedding ring

"You think I'd let you get me pregnant?" I spat, the words laced with sarcasm. His eyes, cold and hard, locked on me."Why? We're still married—""Not anymore!" I cut him off, my voice sharp, and turned away. He reached out, his hand catching my arm as I reached the store door. I yanked it free, fury coursing through me. "This is the last time we'll meet," I said, my voice shaking with barely contained emotion. I left him standing there and climbed into my car, my heart pounding like a drum solo. What a coincidence, what a freaking nightmare. I ran a hand through my hair, trying to calm the storm inside. Taking a deep breath, I started the engine and drove back to our house.

"You... you slept here?" Tyler's voice was a tight whisper, his eyes wide with surprise as he stared at Laxus. Laxus, caught off guard, stammered, "Yeah, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to..."My gaze darted between them, confusion swirling within me. "Why are you apologizing?" I whispered to Laxus, my voice barely audible. He turned to me, a flicker of something unreadable in his eyes. "I should apologize to your brother," he mumbled, his gaze dropping.I couldn't help but smirk. "You don't need to apologize. It's fine. You're still married to my sister," Tyler said, his gaze shifting to me. He gave a quick nod, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "I should go now. Have fun!" And with that, he disappeared out the door.I rubbed my temples, the tension building in my head. "You can leave now," I told Laxus, trying to keep my voice steady. "Sorry for what happened last night." His presence felt heavy, and I desperately wanted him gone.But he didn't move. "W

"I'm sorry I forgot to introduce myself earlier," the man said, his voice a jarring note in the quiet street. I blinked, surprised. Why was I still talking to him? He was a complete stranger."Oh, it's fine," I managed, feeling a surge of awkwardness. "But I need to go. Let's chat another time." I turned and hurried towards my sedan, needing to escape the strange encounter. The engine roared to life as I pulled away, leaving him standing on the sidewalk. I knew it was rude, but I simply couldn't afford to meet anyone right now. My house loomed ahead, a familiar haven. I pulled into the garage, the familiar scent of gasoline and oil filling my senses. As I stepped inside, the living room was empty. Joana wasn't on the couch. Tyler must have taken her to their room.I padded into the kitchen, thirsty after a long day. Tyler was already there, his gaze fixed on me as he reached for a glass. "You look like you saw a ghost," he commented, his v

The moment Tyler and Joana halted before us, Daryl's voice, sharp as a knife, sliced through the air, "Do you know them?" Tyler, a smirk playing on his lips, responded, "Of course! I'm her brother. And you are?" My head spun in disbelief. His words, laced with a chilling familiarity, sent a shiver down my spine. "Don't talk to him like that, Tyler," I hissed, my voice barely a whisper. But my warning was lost on him. He just glared back, his eyes burning with a fire I didn't recognize. He took a step closer, his shadow looming over me. His lips moved, forming words that were meant for my ears alone. The air grew thick with unspoken menace."You just got a divorce, Tyra. And you're already dating?" His words, a low murmur, were laced with a hint of judgement. I rolled my eyes, the gesture more a reflex than a conscious decision."WHAT THE—" The rest of my response died in my throat. The sheer audacity of his question, the sheer nerve of hi
