All Chapters of Another Chance At Love—But Which Ex?! : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

DEENA'S POVTrenton's presence both moved and surprised me. I didn't think he'd shield me like this, knowing how he values his reputation more than anything else. "Mr. Outlaw, is it true that you're dating Sandra?" "Is it true that you and Deena are only faking it?" "Did you lie to everyone, Mr. Outlaw?" Questions after questions were being thrown at him and I could only stare at the back of his head. I swallowed deeply, feeling like a cornered rat hiding behind a cat. I was overwhelmed by the attention and the aggressive approach, but I knew we should be facing this together."Trenton—" I attempted to tell him that we should answer together, but he didn't let me move. "Stay behind me. I'll handle this." He said firmly and I had no chance to retaliate when he started answering questions. "First of all, I would like to apologize to everyone for the disturbance. I'm sorry if the rumors made you upset. I'm sorry to those people I disappointed, but most importantly, I apologize to D

DEENA'S POV"Welcome. May I see your invitations, please?"I have attended big parties and events as an actress and even when I went with Trenton, but tonight, it was the first time I'm attending an extravagant party. The venue is at the biggest and most expensive pavilion in the city called 'The Night Star'. "Ms. Wellington and Mr. Rodriguez, your invitations have been confirmed. Please enjoy the night." They finished scanning our invitations and the gate automatically opened for us to enter. Behind us were lines of expensive and rare cars driven by big names in the entertainment and fashion world. I recognize some of them, while some of them were introduced by Ethan. I held my head high, although I felt a little uncomfortable being around snobbish elites. Even when I attended parties with Trenton, I did not get along with them. It was easy to feel if someone was being genuinely nice or just pretending. Most of these elite people would look at you like dirt under their shoe if the

DEENA'S POVI didn't realize I had fallen asleep on the cold tile floor of the bathroom. I barely slept because of the news that I had to swallow. I cried the whole night, asking God where I went wrong. I blamed Trenton and myself. We are both not ready. I am not ready for a child. Not at this time when I am just barely reaching my dreams. I am where I wanted to be—a place I didn't even think I could reach.And now with this unborn baby, I might lose everything I tried hard to build.I forced myself to stand up before I got sick, hanging onto the wall for dear life because I couldn't find the strength to stand on my own. It feels like my feet were tied with a chain that is weighing me down, dragging me back to the place where I already escaped from.I reached for the two pregnancy tests on the sink with shaking hands and dragged my feet to the bed where I stared at it."What now?" The world left my mouth absentmindedly, feeling so lost. "What do I do now?" I groaned and clutched my

DEENA'S POV I stared at the blood pooling around me as I lay there frozen and dazed. Tears quickly filled my eyes when I realized what happened.I lost my baby."No. No, no, no. No!" I muttered at first, but it grew louder until I was screaming my lungs out, rocking my body back and forth and clutching my stomach where my unborn child should be.There was no one around to help me. I was alone in that empty alley where a group of men robbed me, and when I fought back, they mercilessly punched my stomach, not even caring that I was pregnant. They only left in panic when I started bleeding."My baby. P-please, somebody. I don't want to lose my baby." I sobbed continuously, praying to God—even when I knew it was futile—to save them.By the amount of blood I lost, I knew I miscarried.My screams turned to a whisper when I could no longer scream and yet, not one person heard me or tried to help me. I grew tired and my mind started spinning because of the loss of blood until I collapsed on

DEENA'S POVI was overwhelmed and so blessed that I couldn't ask for more. Almost two months before I turn six months pregnant and before my belly becomes noticeable, the movie and the series I played as the main character has finally ended. Everything went smoothly and I was proud of my performance. As soon as it ended, my management team made an excuse that I needed to rest due to my health and won't be joining the promotion. "How do you feel?" Ethan asked from where he's sitting beside me and I took my eyes away from the window to look at him."Nervous, excited and happy I guess." I admitted with a smile on my face while caressing my belly that I can freely show now that we're alone. In order to avoid any suspicion, Ethan used his private jet to get to Australia where I'll stay for at least half a year. Mom and Dan will follow us a month after so they can be with me when I give birth."You know, I used to think that receiving an award, being recognized because of my talent and
