All Chapters of Another Chance At Love—But Which Ex?! : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

DEENA'S POVThe moment the Game Master disappeared and will be back tonight for the elimination night, things have quickly escalated. "Who is it? Who the fuck is it?!" Allan exclaimed in anger, loosening his tie and throwing it on the ground."Who nominated us? Guys, what did I ever do to you?" Ryan added his sentiment while looking upset, as if we had betrayed him."Why are you all surprised? Of course they will save themselves." Zyke joined the pity session while standing in front of us.The girls weren't any better. They were silent, but they were looking at us with disappointed and hurt looks while crying."Have y'all forgotten that this is a game? Tell me, didn't you nominate anyone? I bet a cent that you voted for one another." Leticia was the first to answer."We were asked to vote. Did you think we'll vote ourselves?" Allyson added bravely while flipping her hair."Why are you angry at us? You should be angry with yourselves." Gabriel scoffed and loosened his own tie.Of cour

DEENA'S POVThe rain made it harder for Tori and Patty to climb over the wall and they fell a few times, but thankfully, a mattress was prepared to cushion the fall. "You can do it, Tori! Use your shirt!" I screamed at the top of my lungs and Tori did my advice. She wrapped her shirt around the rope, but still struggled. Patty wrapped the rope around her wrists and pulled herself up with all her might while stepping over the stones. With this strategy, she was able to finish before Tori and she was off to the next round. Tori followed at least five minutes later with her hands filled with small scratches. I can see her wincing ever so slightly while solving the puzzle and we cheered her on to boost her strength. This time, she was able to finish before Patty and raised the flag. Alice slid under the barbed wire and I glanced over the clock to see that fifteen minutes had passed, and we had four more people to play. "Alice, try crawling on your back!" Leticia advised Alice when she

DEENA'S POVThey woke us up differently that day. Usually, we'll be woken up by cheerful and loud songs, but this morning, they woke us up with a familiar romantic song 'Until I Found You'. I immediately thought that we'll probably play something romantic today as a daily activity. As the song played and I understood the lyrics, I was suddenly hit by a memory.Some couples meet under a fairytale-like encounter. Some experience a heart-tingling moment and somehow, you just know that they are the one for you. But like the song, perhaps I found the one for me just when nothing made sense anymore. Trenton and I' first meeting isn't anything like that. Our eyes didn't meet in a random street in a sea of people. Our skin didn't touch and we didn't feel that spark that you only read in books. We met in the most unusual way possible where I had to pull him out of his car before it could explode. We also didn't experience love at first sight because he was unconscious when I saw him, and h

DEENA'S POVWhen we stepped out of the door, a black limousine was waiting for us. The staff members were around us and they allowed us to move however we wanted.Trenton opened the door for me and I thanked him before getting inside and I quickly noticed the cameras they installed inside the car. He walked around the car and sat beside me after unbuttoning his shirt.The tension in the car is not awkward but not comfortable either or maybe it's just me because he's acting like his normal self.For a minute, I regretted winning the activity. If we lost, I wouldn't have to sit beside him like this with my hands sweating and my heart beating faster than normal. I wouldn't feel anxious and self-conscious. I don't think I'm even breathing.The camera director riding with us told us that he'll ask us basic questions about each other and record it, so we agreed."So, Deena, what is Trenton's favorite meal that he often orders? What do you think he will order tonight?" He asked me and I smi

DEENA'S POVEthan and I were into sports when we were in high school. That is how we got close to each other and that is when he pursued me. He was the captain of the basketball team and I was crazy about volleyball. Whenever there's a big game coming, we'll always meet halfway and cheer each other up like we did earlier. It gave me a sense of nostalgia, because even when I decided I wanted to become an actress, I was still once a sports woman."Are you sure you can play now?" Ethan asked me before we stepped into the platform, reaching out a hand to help me.I glanced down on my foot and moved it a little. "Yes. The swelling is gone now and it only hurts when I use more force than usual." I accepted his hand and we balanced ourselves on the platform."Just to be careful, let me do the pushing and you just stay behind me." Warmth filled my insides at his words and I remembered when I got injured one time. I had a terrible fall after jumping higher than my body can take and I suffere
