Czahryna "Yna" Torres' world shatters when her mother is diagnosed with cancer. Desperate for a lifeline, she strikes an unlikely deal with Julian Piers Ortiz—a billionaire shackled by his father’s demands. Julian offers to fund her mother’s treatment, but in return, she must pretend to be his lover. What starts as a cold arrangement soon turns into something dangerously real. Yna falls hard, and just when she dares to believe in love, the truth is exposed. Betrayed and powerless against Julian’s ruthless father, she vanishes—taking with her a secret that could change everything. Four years later, Yna returns, now a mother to a four-year-old daughter and determined to keep her past buried. But fate has other plans—her new boss is none other than Julian. Worse, he’s engaged to another woman. Julian is torn. The woman who once shattered him is back, reigniting emotions he thought he buried. But when he notices the uncanny resemblance between himself and Yna’s daughter, suspicion turns into obsession. He demands the truth, but Yna refuses to give in. Now, Julian must make a choice—honor the engagement that secures his future or risk everything to reclaim the woman and child who should have been his all along. Love. Lies. Redemption. When the past collides with the present, will Julian fight for his second chance, or will fate rip them apart once more?

A Second Chance At Love CHAPTER 7: Racing Against Time
As we burst through the hospital doors, Tisha and I sprinted through the crowded corridors, weaving past patients and medical staff. The sound of our footsteps echoed off the sterile walls, and the antiseptic smell filled my nostrils. We finally reached the third floor, and my eyes scanned the area until they landed on my father, sitting in his wheelchair outside an emergency room, with Mrs. Baylon standing beside him. I rushed towards them, my steps shaky with anxiety. As I reached my dad, he looked up at me with a mix of surprise and concern. "Honey, why are you here? You should be in class right now," he said, his brow furrowed. I didn't respond, instead kneeling down in front of him and wrapping my arms around his waist. He hugged me back, his warm touch a comforting balm to my frazzled nerves. I buried my face in his stomach, fighting back tears. Dad's voice broke the silence, "Tish, honey, you're here too?" he asked, his eyes crinkling at the corners.

Mr. Kho gestured to Jhayden, saying, "Mr. Bernardino, please take a seat anywhere you like." Jhayden scanned the room, his eyes locking onto the only vacant seat – the one beside me. He walked over, his confident stride eating up the distance between us. But as he approached, I caught a glimpse of something else in his eyes - a faint hint of nervousness. As he sat down, I deliberately avoided looking at him, focusing instead on Mr. Kho's lecture. The professor's words droned on, a steady stream of information that I was determined to absorb. I scribbled notes furiously, my pen scratching across the paper as I tried to keep up with Mr. Kho's rapid-fire delivery. My determination to ace all my subjects this year drove me to concentrate intently on the professor's words. But my focus was broken when a gentle elbow nudged me from the right. I turned to face Jhayden, raising an inquiring eyebrow as I did so. He greeted me with a radiant smile, his eyes cr

I stared at my phone, my eyes fixed on the screen as I read the message. It was from Julian—the man I'd been waiting to hear from. My heart skipped a beat as I read his words. "Meet me tomorrow at the bar at 9:00 PM." I could almost hear his voice—cold and demanding—as I read the words. I frowned, wondering why he had chosen the bar as our meeting spot again. Why not his condo, since I already knew where it was? A sly smile spread across my face as I chuckled to myself. "Well, Yna, he only brought you to his condo last time because he thought you two would... you know," I whispered to myself, glancing around to make sure my parents weren’t listening. My mom would definitely have something to say about that. I quickly typed out a response—"Okay." Then, as I put my dishes in the sink, I glanced at the clock and realized I was running late. I grabbed my school bag, flung it over my shoulder, and hurried out. "Goodbye, Mom! Goodbye, Dad!" I called out, r

I picked up my buzzing phone from the nightstand, hoping against hope that it was Julian calling me. But my heart sank as I saw my best friend Tisha's name flashing on the screen. I answered the call with less enthusiasm, trying to hide my disappointment. "Hello, Tish? What's up?" I asked, attempting to sound casual. Tisha's sigh was loud and clear, even through the phone. "Why did you skip class today? You know we had a test in Biology!" she exclaimed, her irritated tone making me wince. My eyes widened as I realized my mistake. Shit! I had completely forgotten about the test! And now, I was probably going to fail the subject. My parents would kill me. I facepalmed, feeling like an idiot. "Oh, gosh! It slipped my mind, Tish! Oh, no!" I said, trying to defend myself. Tisha's motherly tone kicked in. "Where were you earlier, huh?" she asked, concern etched in her voice. I sighed, feeling a pang of guilt. "At the restaurant, Tish. You know I need money

As I walked home, the crunch of gravel beneath my feet echoed through the silence of the night. The darkness seemed to swallow me whole, the only sound being my footsteps. My mind began to wander back to Julian's condo, reliving the moments after he'd left to answer his phone call. I remembered the way I'd fidgeted, waiting for what felt like an eternity for him to return. But he never did. I recalled the impatience that had gotten the better of me—the decision to leave without him. Before I'd departed his condo, I had scribbled my phone number on a piece of paper and left it on his desk. I'd hoped against hope that his offer was genuine, that he wasn't just playing games with me. As I walked, my thoughts turned to my mom and the operation she desperately needed. Julian's offer was my only hope, and I prayed that he wouldn't go back on his promise. The sound of my footsteps was the only thing that broke the silence of the night. I was so lost in thought that I

Julian's face inched closer to mine, his warm breath dancing across my ear. "Think about your mom," he whispered, his voice low and husky. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I stared at him, my eyes wide with a mix of fear and desperation. "If you accept my offer, I will immediately get her operated on with the best doctor I know," he continued, his words dripping with persuasion. I repeated his words, my voice barely above a whisper. "W-What? Be your l-lover..?" I stuttered, my eyes searching his face for any sign of deception. But Julian's expression remained unreadable, his eyes gleaming with an intensity that made my heart skip a beat. He turned and walked towards his walk-in closet, his broad back coming into view as he reached for something. "Not a literal lover, though," he said, his voice matter-of-fact, as if he were discussing the weather. He turned around, his eyes locking onto mine. "Just pretend to be my lover," he clarified, his voice

I let out a deep sigh, my eyes scanning the dimly lit bar with a mix of disgust and desperation. The air was thick with the smell of cheap perfume and stale beer. I had been sitting in the corner for hours, nursing a glass of water. As I glanced around the bar, my gaze lingered on the women dancing on the stage. They were dressed in skimpy two-piece outfits and lingerie, their bodies swaying to the pulsating music. The men in the audience watched with leering eyes, some of them fondling the women's bodies as they danced. My stomach churned with revulsion, but I knew I had to push aside my doubts. I needed the money, no matter how I got it. My mom's operation was expensive, and I had already exhausted all my other options. I thought back to the endless hours I'd spent working, trying to scrape together enough money for my mom’s operation. But no matter how hard I worked, it was never enough. And now, I was faced with the harsh reality that I had to find another way
