Chasing Love: A Second Chance At Forever Chapter 36 "Threat"
Tandre and his assistant, Ted, had arrived at the mansion some time ago, and since then, Ted had been observing his boss with growing bewilderment. How could he not be puzzled? Tandre had been acting strangely—constantly touching his lips, smiling uncontrollably, and staring at the large chandelier hanging from the ceiling.Ted found himself glancing at the chandelier too, half-expecting to see something extraordinary. But there was nothing. It was as if Tandre was seeing something invisible to everyone else, leaving Ted wondering if his boss had lost his mind. Now, Ted felt like he might be losing his mind too.“Mr. Tandre, are you alright?” Ted finally asked, unable to hold back his curiosity. But Tandre didn’t seem to hear him, as if he had gone deaf. “Mr. Tandre, do you need anything? Water, wine, or sleeping pills? I can ask Manang to bring them over,” Ted offered helpfully.Ted knew about Tandre’s trouble sleeping—how he often resorted to wine or sleeping pills to get through the

The next day, Arwena deliberately chose to arrive late, avoiding the superficial conversations she dreaded with her relatives.When she, Archie, and Nathan finally arrived at her mother’s birthday party, their entrance immediately drew everyone’s attention.As they stepped into her parents’ yard, whispers began to ripple through the crowd, intensifying as they strolled through the large garden where other guests were eating. All eyes were on them—especially Arwena.It was no surprise. Besides her natural beauty, she was wearing a white off-shoulder, long-sleeve lace midi dress that made her look stunning. Her simple yet elegant aura captivated everyone present.Some guests even forgot their food, too mesmerized to eat, particularly Arwena’s relatives, who hadn’t seen her in years.“Is that Arwena?” One of her cousins whispered enviously.“Yes, it is! Wow, she’s changed,” another murmured.“She does look gorgeous when she dresses up,” added a third, their jealousy barely concealed.“Wel

Arwena was taken aback by her father's question, which blamed her for what had happened to Farah.Meanwhile, her mother appeared indifferent toward Farah; her attention focused entirely on her cell phone as if she were reading something urgent. Occasionally, she shook her head and cast sharp glances in Farah's direction.“What happened between you two, Arwena? How did it come to this?” her father asked again, his piercing gaze locked on her—a look of disappointment that suggested he truly believed she was capable of hurting someone.In Arwena's mind, she couldn’t fathom how quickly her father’s attitude toward Farah had shifted. Earlier, he had been cold, but now he was expressing concern.Instead of responding, Arwena stayed silent, her eyes fixed on her former friend, who was sobbing while clutching her bleeding hand. Farah's hand trembled, signaling significant pain.“Jake, what are you standing there for? Help Farah!” her father barked.Jake moved toward Farah without hesitation, b

Arwena was speechless, shocked by her mother’s revelation that Tandre had been the one to expose Farah's bad behavior.Meanwhile, Tandre couldn’t help but smile as he watched Farah and Jake arguing near Arwena’s house.He felt pleased, knowing the two people who had tormented, deceived, and hurt Arwena were finally facing the consequences of their actions. Everything they had made Arwena feel was coming back to them.Tandre had learned that today was Lorna’s birthday and immediately anticipated what Farah might do. He knew she would try to create a scene just to humiliate Arwena. Determined not to let what happened at the coffee shop repeat, he acted. He told Arwena’s mother everything—except for what had happened between them.Even if Arwena couldn’t love him, he had done something good for the woman he cared about. He wanted her to feel his genuine feelings.“Enough, Farah! Stop it! Do you have any shame left? They’ve already rejected you. They know your true character, so just stop!

"Nathan!” Arwena screamed as she spotted the speeding car heading straight for their gate.Without hesitation, she scooped Nathan into her arms and ran, pulling the other children and parents she had been chatting with earlier away from danger. Despite her efforts, they were still caught in the chaos as the steel gate collapsed under the car's forceful impact.The Dela Torre compound erupted in screaming and cries. Panic spread like wildfire as people realized several were injured in the crash.“No… Nathan! Wake up, baby!” Arwena cried, clutching her unconscious son, who was bleeding profusely. Her voice trembled with desperation as she screamed for help.Meanwhile, the car reversed swiftly, attempting to flee. But before it could get far, Arwena caught a glimpse of the driver’s face—Farah.

"Wena,” Archie’s eyes widened as he spoke his friend’s name. "You’re paranoid. It turns out you were the one who revealed the truth,” he whispered to his friend, who was biting her lip and couldn’t look at the siblings.He felt embarrassed by what he was saying and almost wanted to slap himself. Archie was right. Because of her paranoia, Tandre already knew the truth.Their months of hiding Nathan’s true identity had been wasted. What was even more annoying was that Wena was the one who had made it all come to light.Archie leaned against the wall, shaking his head repeatedly as he looked at his brother, who was overwhelmed with a mix of emotions.Joy was evident on his face because he had confirmed that Nathan was indeed his son. But disappointment, anger, and sadness were also visible in his eyes.He knew his brother’s anger toward him had intensified. He had pretended to be Nathan's father. He had taken away Tandre's rights as Nathan’s father. He had been complicit in Arwena's plan

“Nathan…” Arwena’s breath caught in her throat as she saw her son lying unconscious on the stretcher, being wheeled by medical personnel toward the operating room. A wave of panic surged through her, but she quickly masked it, walking alongside the stretcher, her feet dragging as if each step took all the strength she had.“Be strong, okay?” she whispered to Nathan, her voice trembling with unshed tears. She held his hand gently as they reached the entrance to the operating room, her eyes unwilling to leave his face. When they stopped to prepare him for the procedure, she stopped too, unwilling to let him go for a second longer.As the doors closed behind the medical team, Arwena covered her mouth with her hands, the tears finally breaking free. She fell into silent sobs, praying with everything inside her. “Please, Lord, let him be okay. Please guide the doctors,” she murmured, her voice cracking with desperation.“Wena, stop crying,” came Archie’s voice, soft yet insistent. He steppe

Arwena bit her lip, glancing at her friend, whose gaze now shifted between her, Tandre, and the doctor.Thankfully, neither the doctor nor the nurse seemed to have overheard their conversation. Instead, they focused on examining Nathan. After confirming that the boy showed no visible complications or abnormalities, the doctor turned to Arwena and Archie.“How is my... Nathan doing, doctor?” Archie hesitated, avoiding the word son in Tandre’s presence. He felt embarrassed claiming Nathan as his son when the boy’s real father stood right there.For the first time, Archie understood why Arwena hadn’t told Tandre the truth about Nathan. It wasn’t just complicated—it was a tangled mess. His earlier plan to provoke Tandre with Nathan was now out of the question. Worse, Archie had no real claim to the boy. He was merely an uncle, while Tandre was the biological father.“Your son is fine,” the doctor said reassuringly. “However, we’ll conduct further tests to ensure everything is in order. For

"My queen," Tandre softly called to his wife, a gentle affection in his voice. Arwena immediately smiled, her heart warming at the sound of his words. He had been watching her for a while, patiently waiting for her to finish what she was doing. And now, with her task finally completed, he couldn't resist approaching her. Arwena shook her head with a knowing smile, fully aware of the silent longing that had been building in her husband. She knew he was eager to be close to her. He wanted to embrace her, to kiss her, but because of the warning she'd given him—that she wouldn’t join the Denovan Jewelry launch—he had held back. "Are you done?" he asked softly, his hand resting gently on her shoulder, caressing it with tenderness. Arwena responded with a sweet smile and a playful sparkle in her eyes. How could she not smile? Tandre's intentions were as clear as day. He wanted something more. He wanted to kiss her, and she could see it in the way he bit his lower lip, his gaze never le

After a deafening gunshot that made Arwena squeeze her eyes shut tightly, a series of explosions reverberated through the conference room, causing her breath to catch in her chest. Time seemed to slow as the violent sounds echoed in her ears. She was crying, but no sound came out—her mouth was open, but her voice had abandoned her. Her shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and her lips quivered as her body shook with the shock. Tandre, on the other hand, held her firmly, pressing her against him as if to shield her from the chaos. He held his breath too, certain that it was the end for them. He had accepted that it was their last day together. They remained locked in that embrace, a tense silence stretching between them, until the frantic shouting of police officers and the bomb squad’s urgent commands filled the conference room. The sharp contrast between the quiet aftermath of the explosions and the chaos of the responders was disorienting. Farah, caught completely off guard by th

“No, Wena! Don’t go in—” Tandre shouted, his voice desperate, but his plea was abruptly cut off when the cold barrel of a gun was shoved against his forehead.“Shut up!” Farah snapped, her voice trembling with rage as her finger twitched dangerously on the trigger. “You’ve been pushing me too far, Tandre! I’ve had enough of you!”“Don’t do this, Farah, please!” Tandre pleaded, his tone raw with sincerity, his eyes locking onto hers. “I’m begging you. I’ll do anything—just leave Arwena out of this.”Even as he faced the weapon aimed at him, not once did Tandre fear for his own life. His only concern was for Arwena. The mere thought of her being harmed made his chest tighten with a suffocating pain.Janica clenched her fists at his words, the weight of them stabbing into her like a cruel dagger. Hearing the man she loved beg for another woman crushed her heart, each word twisting the knife deeper.“I said shut up!” Farah’s eyes blazed with fury, her voice rising. “No amount of begging wi

“F-Farah!” Janica exclaimed, her voice trembling as though she had been jolted awake from a deep sleep by the gunshot that echoed in the room. Her lips quivered, and her wide, panicked eyes fell on the man lying lifeless and bloodied on the floor. “What the…” Her voice trailed off as she clamped her hands over her ears, trying to block out the deafening chaos. Her gaze darted around the room, searching for an explanation. Her breath hitched as her eyes landed on Tandre, crouched on the floor, his fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white. The veins in his arms bulged, a silent testament to his barely contained fury. She wanted to scream, to lash out at Farah for her brutality. The man Farah had mercilessly shot was innocent, unrelated to their petty grievances and unending hatred. “How…?” Janica’s voice cracked as the words faltered. Shaking her head in disbelief, her eyes welled with tears. Her gaze lingered on the bloodstained hole in Tandre’s suit, and her trembl
