Arwena glanced down at her hand, which Tandre was now gently squeezing. With each squeeze, it felt like electricity was coursing through her body.Her heart pounded harder, struggling to keep up with its rhythm. She didn’t like what she was feeling. She pulled her hand away, cleared her throat, and approached her parents.But before she fully approached them, she glanced back at Tandre. She just wanted to see his reaction. She wanted to know if there was a spark in his eyes again, to see if he felt the same way she did. But all she saw was disappointment. He was still serious, and it looked like he was still angry at her.She let out a breath and gave a bitter smile. "Idiot! He was holding my hand, yet he’s still mad," Arwena grumbled to herself.How could Tandre not frown even more when she pulled her hand away? He thought she would let him hold her hand while she told her parents what had happened between them years ago. But no, it was as if Arwena was sending him the message that sh

"Sir, are you Jake Cuevas?" the police officer asked again, glancing at his cellphone to verify that he was speaking to the right person."Yeah, that's me," Jake stammered, clearly startled by their presence. "What can I do for you, officer?" he added, regaining some composure after the shock.Farah’s earlier call and her plea for help instantly flashed through his mind. What trouble have you gotten yourself into now, Farah? Jake muttered to himself, clenching his fists in frustration.She had once again spoiled the pleasant morning he'd been enjoying."We were just wondering if you're with Farah Dizon," the officer asked politely, peering into Jake’s room."No, officer," Jake replied quickly, stepping aside and gesturing for them to enter. He knew they didn’t have a search warrant; he wanted to clear his name and prove Farah wasn’t there.The officers entered without hesitation, scanning the room."When was the last time you saw her, Mr. Cuevas?" one of them asked, his eyes darting ar

Archie was also deeply suspicious of Tandre’s true motives. Did he genuinely want to be a father to Nathan, or was he merely trying to claim Arwena for himself? The question gnawed at him, and he shook his head in disbelief. His brother was something else entirely. When Tandre set his sights on something, he would always find a way to get it, no matter the cost.Tandre’s gaze narrowed as he met Archie’s eyes, fully aware of the anger simmering beneath the surface. He could sense the doubt in Archie’s mind. After all, what boyfriend wouldn’t be suspicious and hesitant about allowing his girlfriend to live with another man—especially when that man had a history with her?It seemed his plan to be involved with Nathan was now at risk, all thanks to Archie.Thinking quickly, Tandre devised a solution—one that he was certain Archie couldn’t refuse. “Fine,” Tandre said, his voice low, almost a whisper. “To stop your incessant talking and to avoid all the judgment you're so worried about… come

“What are you doing? Let go of me!” Arwena screamed, her voice raw with panic. She threw her elbow back, driving it with all her strength into the gut of the man who had grabbed her from behind. Her movements were frantic, fueled by desperation, but the man barely flinched. His grip remained unyielding, like iron, and his arm tightened around her waist, pulling her closer against him.With a swift motion, he pressed a damp handkerchief over her face, the scent of chemicals strong and overpowering. Arwena fought against the suffocating pressure, twisting violently in his grasp, her body straining in every direction as she attempted to break free. But her arms, already injured, felt like dead weight, robbing her of the strength she needed to escape.Her breath became shallow and rapid, her mind clouding as the edges of her vision blurred. She could feel her body growing heavier, the darkness creeping in from the corners of her eyes. Every attempt to resist became slower and weaker as the

"Archie!" Tandre shouted.He had clearly seen Archie fall onto the road after being hit by a car.Tandre couldn’t explain it, but it was as though he could feel the pain his brother was enduring. He shoved aside the bystanders who had gathered and immediately hugged Archie, his eyes still locked on the car speeding away. After a moment, his gaze shifted to Arwena, lying beside the car.He wanted to help Arwena too, to check her condition, but he couldn’t let go of Archie. His brother needed him more."Help!" Tandre called out, his hands trembling. He gently stroked Archie’s bloodied forehead, his bloodstained fist clenched. His jaw tightened in a mix of anger and worry.He recognized the driver of the car Jake was in—it was Farah. In his mind, Tandre vowed to get revenge for both his brother and Arwena."Call for help!" Tandre ordered the onlookers, treating them like subordinates. Fortunately, they were near a hospital, and help arrived quickly for both Archie and Arwena."Please, hel

"Archie, please wake up. I'm so sorry. You got hurt because of me. I’m sorry you were dragged into my mess," Arwena whispered, her voice weak and trembling.She blamed herself for everything. Never in her wildest dreams had she thought Jake would go to such extremes to harm someone to get her back."Please wake up, Archie. I need you. I need someone to talk to, someone to lean on. I can’t do this without you. And Nathan… we still need to care for him, don’t we?"Her trembling hand brushed against Archie’s cheek. She couldn’t stop apologizing over and over again, even though he lay unconscious.Tears streamed down her face, each one a painful reminder of her guilt and anguish. Her words felt like knives to Tandre’s heart. Every time she spoke to him, it was as though no one else existed, as if she and Archie were in a world of their own."Archie..." Arwena sobbed harder, clutching his hand and pressing it against her tear-streaked face.Tandre stood silently, his chest tightening as he

"Archie!" Arwena and Tandre exclaimed in unison, spinning toward him as he glanced between them."Like magnets stuck together, huh?" Archie teased, his eyes lingering on Arwena. “Flirty, aren’t you, girl?” he mouthed silently, his lips barely moving. Arwena caught the playful words, paired with an exaggerated eye roll.Immediately, she stepped away from Tandre, clearing her throat as she moved closer to Archie, silently pursing her lips in frustration. She glared at her friend, who, despite just waking up, was already teasing her. Archie’s eyes gleamed with amusement, his grin widening.Thankfully, Tandre wasn’t looking directly at her, caught between averting his gaze and bowing his head in embarrassment.“A-Archie, you’re misunderstanding. I wasn’t flirting with Arwena. I was just helping her,” Tandre stammered, clearing his throat nervously and shooting a pleading glance at Arwena for support.His eyes begged for assistance, but Arwena remained silent, arms crossed. She knew Archie

Archie's eyes widened for a moment before he quickly shut them, pretending to be asleep to avoid Arwena's piercing gaze.“Why did you come back so soon?” Tandre asked, stealing a glance at Archie, who was feigning sleep. “How is Nathan?”Arwena stood in the doorway, her eyes fixed on Archie, who lay still as if his entire body were in casts.“Nathan is fine; he’s still sleeping soundly,” she replied, her tone polite despite her annoyance with Archie.She needed a moment to collect herself. The worry about what might happen next was gnawing at her, compounded by the anxiety over Farah and Jake’s recent actions. She had just received a call from her parents confirming the pair had fallen off a cliff but hadn’t been found. No one knew if they’d been swept away by the river or trapped beneath rocks.“Maybe you should go home and rest,” Tandre suggested gently. “You haven’t rested since yesterday, and you haven’t slept at all.” He scratched his head awkwardly, noticing Archie peeking at Arw

"My queen," Tandre whispered as he wrapped his arms around her, his lips pressing a soft kiss to the back of her neck. His voice was tender and full of affection, and his touch made her heart skip a beat.She had been on the verge of drifting off to sleep, the peaceful lull of the night calling to her, but how could she refuse her husband, who had just returned from work and seemed determined to work his magic on her?“You smell so good, my queen,” he murmured, his voice warm and inviting, just as she turned to face him.His gaze was intense and inviting, and he bit his lower lip, his eyes dark with desire.Without thinking, her hands instinctively found their way to the back of his neck, drawing him closer.

"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
Chasing Love: A Second Chance At Forever Chapter 80 "Our Dream"
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
