All Chapters of Another Chance At Love—But Which Ex?! : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

DEENA'S POV "He's not answering," I said, pacing around the living room with my phone in hand and my other hand clutching my head. "Come on, Trent. Pick up." I grumbled under my breath while peeking behind the curtain to see the guests waiting for the party to start. "Oh, dear. I hope he did not get into an accident." Mom murmured with a worried look on her face. "God, what do I do?" I stressed, gripping my hair that I curled for hours. It's Trent and I's first wedding anniversary and I'm planning to surprise him. Everything is already set. My mother and I prepared the food and the guests were already waiting, but how can I start it without my husband? "Or... maybe he's caught up with something," My older brother, Daniel, commented while munching on peanuts and I threw him a glare. "What? Didn't you tell us he's been acting strange the past few weeks? Always busy and always missing. And now you haven't talked to him the whole day." "Just because it's your habit doesn't

DEENA'S POV"According to her results, your mother has a rare type of ovarian cancer also known as Ovarian Clear Cell Carcinoma, and it's currently at stage 3. Because this type of cancer is extremely rare, the treatment would be expensive and it would require surgery, therapy and possibly immunotherapy. I am informing you now that this type has no exact treatments unlike any other types of cancer, and we'll have to experiment should you wish to proceed with treatment. If you approve, we must start the treatment as soon as possible to prevent it from damaging her organs."I covered my mouth in shock and Daniel wrapped me in a hug. Days passed since Mom fainted and admitted, and we waited for the result, praying that it's nothing serious. But in the end, not all of our prayers are answered. "Why her, Daniel? Mom has always been careful with her health. Why did this have to happen to her?" I wailed, clutching my brother desperately to borrow some support. My brother and I cried, and

DEENA'S POV "You look great, Dee. You haven't changed a bit." Ethan's words reached my ear and I turned back to look at him with a small smile etching on my face. My eyes observed the face of my first love and my first boyfriend at the age of eighteen. And I don't know if I'm hallucinating, but the way he looked at me didn't change one bit. "You don't look so bad yourself." I responded with an approved nod while trailing my eyes down his body. Ethan might be my ex-boyfriend, but unlike Trenton, our separation wasn't a bitter one. He didn't cheat on me like my ex-husband did. Ethan had to leave the city because of his parents, and Arizona is too far from New Jersey. We decided to break up after six months of dating because we knew long distance relationships don't work, but we remained friends until we stopped communicating with each other eventually. My eyes shifted to the beautiful brunette beside him, and I didn't want to assume, but I wasn't blind not to notice the r

DEENA'S POVI cursed the day I met Trenton Outlaw, fell in love with him and married him. In my head, I butchered him a few times as I struggled to choose which item I can get rid of.But I need everything! I need my hygiene kit, my makeup kit, my curler, everything! I cried inside while I rummaged through my luggage. While the jerk didn't even have a hard time in picking a shirt from his things, and sent me a mocking look as he did so.In the end, I had no choice but to choose one of my panties because I packed more than I needed anyway, and I can always wash them. I just didn't have the heart to pick anything else.When the game ended, another war between the ex-couples started and this time, I joined them. "In a coffee shop, really? I wonder which ex she was." I scoffed and crossed my arms. Trent chuckled. "It's not my fault you don't remember our first meeting.""You know what? Screw you."I bumped my shoulder with him while dragging my suitcase with me. My eyes met Ethan and

DEENA'S POV They assured us that the therapy won't be recorded and we would have complete privacy while it's on-going. Vicky and Ryan are the first to enter the confession room where the doctor is waiting, and it will also be the place where we can complain about anything or anyone. We were allowed to do anything while waiting, and everyone was anxious. Some of the girls apparently already did it after they divorced, but it didn't end well. Personally, I never entertained the idea of undergoing therapy to try and fix our marriage.Because there is nothing to fix anyway. The moment I married Trent, I told him that I hated cheating and if he will only cheat on me, it's better not to get married at all but he still did.After an hour or so, Vicky returned with dried tears in her face, and she went straight to her bed. Knowing the situation, none of us attempted to talk to her and gave her some space. Leticia and Sam are next and unlike Vicky, Leticia came back as if nothing happened,
