His Second Chance 12 - Answers
Beatrice led Madeline step into her office and Madeline didn't even have the nerve to take a seat. She had thought long and hard and decided this was the best option. What were the odds that she would even be able to take care of a baby at her age.“I see you have made your decision Madeline? And, please there's no need to be formal with me. Please have a seat.” Beatrice did smile. Madeline only had her face neutral and no matter how much she tried to think and reason about it, it was all against her. Her career which she had worked so hard to reach was soon going to slip away from her hands and she wouldn't sit by and take it lightly. Kane and her mother were both right. It was stupid as to how she could ever think of raising a baby and still have her career in the front seat at the same time. It was time to be practical.“I can't. I can't watch my life change before my eyes. I know you understand what am going through. You also went through the same ordeals...”“I did go through the
His Second Chance 13 - His Decision
The first person that came to Madeline's mind was Beatrice. Admist the intense pain she was able to grab a hold of her phone and somehow managed to dial her number. She was lucky to have had her contact number the second day she visited the clinic for the tests.“Hello? Madeline...” The call connected.“...please help me... Am..in pain...” Madeline could barely speak as she clutched her belly tightly. Her back leaning against the doorframe of her bedroom door. “Madeline! What happened?” Beatrice was agitated over the phone. “Please...help me. M-my...baby,” Madeline bit her lip. Her worry for her baby seemed to be real and she didn't want to loose her baby. She wouldn't be able to look at herself in the mirror if she took her own baby's life.“Where do you live? Please can you tell me Madeline!” Madeline continued to bit her lip more and more to reduce the pain but it only got worse. She was becoming frantic and her vision was already getting blurred. “...C-close to.... twelve s-street
His Second Chance 14 - His Decision II
Madeline got back home but her mind couldn't get over what Beatrice told her earlier about Kane. She looked around the empty apartment. It's glow and serenity seemed lost without Kane. It did bother her that Kane was back and he didn't think to even come back to the apartment. This was his home too. It was their happy love nest.Madeline took off her shoes and got to the living room. She fished out her phone from her purse and saw some missed calls and messages from Sarah. She knew she was playing with her internship as she had been absent from her work for some days. Three days had passed since she was discharged from hospital by Esperza. Another day from her school and back home without sensing Kane's presence. She could literally sense if he was home the moment she walked through the front door.As usual she checked her messages with Kane and it seemed he had completely forgotten about her. She rubbed her belly and even though she didn't have the appetite, she had to make herself so
His Second Chance 15 - Alone
“Am breaking up with you.”Kane already took out his ensembles and shoved them in his bag. He didn't want to look at her and Madeline could only stand so close to him. He was so close but she already felt he was drifting apart from her ever since he learnt about her pregnancy. She couldn't help but wonder if Kane was so scared of being a father that he would treat her this way. He had never misbehaved verbally with her before.“You have no idea what I've being through in these two weeks Kane. And, now you come back after two weeks to end things with me? How can you be this cruel Kane? I...I thought you loved me.” Madeline felt her voice breaking and low at the end. She was starting to doubt that he actually loved her.“Don't make it look like am responsible for what's lead to this Madeline.” He looked at her. “You had a choice. I won't sit by to take care of a baby. You chose to keep it but I hoped you would see reason. But no. You didn't bother to understand my point.” He zipped his
His Second Chance 16 - Moving On
Madeline didn't know how to feel witnessing Kane in another woman's arms. Was she th same woman Beatrice had claimed to have seen with Kane in SoHo. Even though Kane didn't seem like he was reciprocating, the fact was he neither stopped the woman from kissing him. She wondered if it was really over and Kane really meant every word. She was already torn apart by his departure but now her soul was torn seeing him with another woman. A more pretty one at that.Madeline couldn't have her dinner when she got back to her apartment. She had completely lost her appetite and was now in her bedroom crying her eyes out on her now soaked pillow. She couldn't shake off the feeling that Kane looked more ideal with that woman than with her. It seemed he had cracked a huge deal for Kane to be all dressed in a designer suit. Did he completely forget all about her and wasn't there any chance he would return back to her.The next day Madeline went back to the hospital to also stand in line for her breakf
His Second Chance 17 - A Friend
Madeline unlocked her door to let Ava walk in before her. She reached out for the switch and the entire living room was lighted in a flash. Madeline smiled and recalled using tiny of her savings to pay the electricity bill. Now she wouldn't need a torch to constantly see at night. She wouldn't lie when she said it was scary not wanting to bump into something especially in her condition.“I'll get an ice pack.” Ava took a seat on one of the couches while Madeline went to the kitchen to pull out some ice from th refrigerator and stick them into a bag. She still didn't know whether letting a complete stranger inside her home was ideal but she also knew she wouldn't sleep at night if she left her out alone on th streets. It must be awful living on the streets especially as a woman with lustful eyes all over your body.“Ah, hsss,” Ava hissed a little the moment Madeline applied pressure on her bruises with the ice pack. “I'll do it, thank you.” Ava took the ice pack and continued to dab th
His Second Chance 18 - Sudden Delivery
Ava came to visit Madeline at the hospital with some goodies in hand. “Umm, I've been craving these.” Madeline saw what Ava got for her. A variety of different chocolates and cookies. Ava smiled before grabbing a stool to sit by her side.“How are you doing Madeline?” Ava asked before letting out a long sigh. Madeline could just tell she had a very long day at her work. “You are tired and you should have gone back home to rest a bit.” Madeline suggested but Ava only chuckled and brushed off the concern in a heartbeat.“You know the sponsored cooking competition in Spain? I decided not to accept the offer.” Ava broke the news and Madeline was quick to straighten herself up before she would choke on her chocolate. Her eyes did stare at her best friend in shock. “Why did you do that? Don't tell me it's because of me and the baby. Come on Ava...”“It was necessary. I know you need me now more than ever girlfriend.” Madeline smiled. Her english had gotten a lot better over the past couple o
His Second Chance 19 - Little Molly
Madeline couldn't contain her excitement. Today was the day she would finally get to hold her baby girl in her arms. It was a long wait of over two weeks for the baby to have her lungs matured. Even Ava was by her side with balloons and a wide cheerful smile. Lots of formulas and medications which costs a bunch of money all went to the baby.The door finally opened and a nurse walked in with a new born baby. “Our baby is here girlfriend.” Ava got closer to the nurse to now take the baby in her arms. “She's so beautiful.” Madeline heard Ava whisper and she couldn't help but smile at this moment.“Oh, looks like our girl wants her mom,” The baby moved slightly as Ava got her close to her mother. Madeline's glassy eyes stared at her creation and reached out to hold her. She was much bigger than when she was in the incubator. The baby moved again before crying softly.“She's hungry.” The nurse smiled and Madeline only got her baby closer and the baby was quick to recognize it's mother. Mad

Madeline was still shaking with anger after getting home later in the afternoon. Her head was throbbing from her anger and at Molly's cries and insistence to be with Kane. It angered her to know that hee own daughter suddenly wanted her father more than anything. But she couldn't blame her baby. She had lost her memory afterall.Ava came running out with her hair almost pulled right out of her scalp. “Molly!” Her feet hurried towards Molly who was quick to hide behind Madeline.“She doesn't recall anything Ava.” Madeline only whispered and covering her mouth. She was breaking and it took two seconds for Ava to understand what the situation was. Molly just felt out of place here and she was scared. But Madeline knew she had to do things to make her daughter regain her memory again.Madeline wanted Kane to be out of their lives and no matter how much she tried not to think too much about it she couldn't. He had that smirk on his face like he knew what he had to do to get her to willingl
His Second Chance 38 - Not Given In
Kane smirked before pulling his arm up her back making her gape at him. Seeing how her body reacted to his hands told him her body was speaking another language than her mouth. She was angry. She was upset for what he had done to her but he knew he could make things work again between them. He just knew he could.“Don't touch me.” Madeline gritted taking his hands away and not liking how his lips had curved to one side. She didn't know what games he was playing but she knew she didn't want any part of it. He wasn't the man she had fallen in love with in the past. This man was another Kane Whitemon. A man showering with excess luxuries and glamour. He was far from her reach and she didn't even want him.“I messed up.” He started eyeing her and holding a tight smile. He still felt in control of the situation. Madeline only looked at him like he was some stupid man who didn't want to hear the word no. “There I said it. I messed things between us in the past. Are you happy now?”And, Made
His Second Chance 37 - Her Pain
“But I don't know who you are.” Molly said holding out a little frown while clutching one hand on Kane's collar and the other on her teddy bear. Madeline felt like she had been knocked down completely.“You are scaring her.” Kane muttered and gently tapping the little girl's head.Madeline was still in shock by what had just happened. She couldn't take her eyes away from Molly and seeing how the little girl would look at her like some stranger wanting to take her away was making her feel uneasy.“I am your mother sweetheart. It's me.” She tried again only for Molly to turn her face back to Kane. “Is she my mommy because I don't remember her?”Kane looked at Madeline and said nothing while Madeline could only just know how much Kane was enjoying this right now. To see her own daughter not being able to recognize her. And, she couldn't help but wonder if this was the reason why Kane suddenly felt like he had her under his thumb.She immediately turned to the nurse who was still in the r
His Second Chance 36 - Playing In His Hands
“Please call security! My daughter is in danger.” Madeline screamed all the more and banging her hands on the reception desk. Kane only looked at her with a stoic expression and his hands disappearing in both sides of his pants pocket. “Miss, please calm down. Your yelling is causing a lot of disruption in the hospital.” The receptionist quietly said but Madeline only looked at her with a wide expression. She looked around to see everybody staring at her like she had gone insane. Her body vibrated a little before her eyes now fell on Kane who now smirked at her. It took Madeline a while to finally notice who was the boss around here. And, it certainly wasn't anyone here but him. Not even the security men by the entrance dared to even move from their post to hold Kane down. Her mouth instantly got bitter and dry and she gulped. Her face now hanging low.She still stood by the reception desk and even though she wanted to move, she couldn't. She only swallowed as her eyes continued to
His Second Chance 35 - Who Pulls The Strings
Madeline was sobbing and found her hands clinging on his suit and her eyes were boldly staring up at him with pleas. She had suffered so much in these past four days with no news on Molly. And, now Kane showed up out of nowhere and turns out he knew where Molly was. “You would have to agree to my terms if you would want to see our daughter again Madeline.” Kane stated without blinking twice. Madeline wonders why he was being difficult with her. She tried so much to see the man whom she fell in love with six years ago but all she could see was a stranger. Just a man with no emotions.“She doesn't have to agree with your terms at all.” Abel butted in again and Kane had to throw his hard gaze towards him. “Am not liking this man's tone over here Madeline. He keeps on interfering between us and I... don't like it.” Kane took a breath still glaring at Abel. “Tell him to leave. This matter of our daughter doesn't concern him but us alone.” He added. And, Madeline was quick to turn her head
His Second Chance 34 - Our Daughter
It's been four whole days since Madeline got news about Molly probably not ever returning back to her. Each moment that passed was like a fresh scar burning her skin over and over again. She felt incomplete without Molly and she wonders why she was still living. Madeline only lived for her daughter and now her reason to live was taken away from her. Madeline never came out of her daughter's room and she didn't look like someone who would get over this pain anytime soon. It was still fresh and deep. Her heart was in immense pain and bleeding for her little girl. Madeline wonders how her little girl was coping and where in this world she was. The police had completely lost hope of ever tracking the girl down in New York. Their theories were always the same thing. The kidnappers must have snuggled her out of the city somehow. The police didn't bother putting up fliers for Molly and Madeline was in no state to even say a word. She mostly kept to herself in her daughter's room and hugging
His Second Chance 33 - The Truth
“That's the exact reason why I was about to call you. I've got some information on Miss Madeline Collins. Firstly I've confirmed that she actually stays over here in New York city. She's closer to you than you think Mr Whitemon.” Paul repiled over the phone. Kane was shocked. “And, where is she?” Kane's voice went low as his anger began to fade away slowly. “She stays in the mid west street of Manhattan. It's a decent neighborhood but one can't be too...” “I want her address right away! And, I mean right now Paul.” Kane was quick to say. His breath already agitated on seeing Madeline after six long years. “I'll be sure to send you the address Mr Whitemon.” Paul answered and the line got disconnected. Even though it seemed like he had found her, the issue with the girl inside that room was something he couldn't get himself to forget. She looked so much like him as a child. Except with the longer hair and feminine look. Other than that it was all the same. He saw the doctor getting
His Second Chance 32 - His Daughter?
Kane was at a conference meeting in one of his branch companies a little outside of Manhattan. A fire outbreak had occured some time ago close to his factory outside the city and there were some few casualties. Luckily the fire didn't damage too much of his property and also, his workers were unharmed. Production had stopped for a while since the fire outbreak. And, now it seemed millions were on the line if production continued to stop.In a meeting filled with over twenty executives were trying to handle the issue. Kane had excepted James to handle things here but the guy couldn't handle a single thing. His brows were low and his gaze towards the presenter who was portraying the numbers on the board was lethal. If he could he could punch the dude in the face right now. What Kane hated more than anything was to loose money. Money was of every essence and he had gone countless nights without sleeping just to grow his empire.“I don't care about these projections. What's the way forwar
His Second Chance 31 - Closed Up Agony
Madeline couldn't eat a morsel of food for more than eight hours after Molly's kidnapping. Ava had made some quick noodles and hoped she would eat to get her strength back. She looked weak and dehydrated. Madeline even refused to have a glass of water while her daughter could be dying of thirst right now. She simply sat by the dining with her face blank and her eyes staring into space. She was lost but her heart was crushing in pain. She felt empty deep inside her. The person who always had her heartbeat was gone. She didn't even feel like breathing without her daughter around. Her entire world seemed dark and hollow.“Have a bite Made, please.” Ava brought the fork with noodles towards her mouth. Abel and Esperza were standing a little afar and waiting on any news from the officers regarding Molly. Abel's phone rang and Madeline was quick to get back to her senses and stood up abruptly. “Is it the officer calling?” She was quick to ask. Her eyes seemed to gain life again as a littl
