His Second Chance 23 - No Longer Interested
Kane got his head off the table and had a look around. Everywhere still felt hazy and when it all cleared, he hissed and was quick to hold the side of his head. He had another look around and it took him a while to realize he dozed off by the bar counter last night. He had more drinks than he intended to and th consequences came in form of a splitting headache.He recalled last night's events. His lips thinned and he tried to pull himself together. “I don't need you. You weren't worth it at all. Am...glad you walked out of my life.” He gritted and slurred to no one but himself. Wanting to get up from the stool and it seemed his head was going to fall off.“Harley! Harley...damn!” He held his head with both hands and got himself off the stool. He passed a mirror and stared at himself. He was still in his business suit from last night and his tie was loosened like a slacker. He was more than this and wasn't meant to be drinking away just because Brenda decided to end things. His hair wa
His Second Chance 24 - Knowing About Her
Kane only moved his feet closer to the woman still on the floor when a man rushed towards the woman and yelled out her name, “Madeline!” Kane froze on the spot as that name was like a siren in his ears. He never would have heard that name in a place like this and watched that man kneeling to help the woman up. Curiosity got the better of Kane and he found himself walking closer when Mariana grabbed his arm making him turn to look at her.“Mrs Anderson and her chauffeur are coming towards us. Also, Mr Benson is waving at us.” Mariana uttered lowly while standing by his side and was quick to put her arm with his. To everyone, they looked like the ideal and perfect couple. “Mr Whitemon. A pleasure.” Kane walked ahead to share a hug with Mrs Anderson. “The pleasure is all mine Mrs Anderson. I wasn't expecting you at this fashion show. I thought you'll be chilling somewhere in the Philippines. Your husband once told me you loved the cities there.” Kane smiled and Mrs Anderson began to blu
His Second Chance 25 - Investigation
Kane couldn't look away from the man by the corner and had to ask. “Who is that man Mr Gallagher?” Mr Gallagher had to turn around and a familiar smile filled his lips. “That's Abel Ronee. He's an employee of mine. A very wonderful employee at that too.” Kane smiled at the compliment and said. “Can I have his information from your work database Mr Gallagher?” Mr Gallagher furrowed his brows and even Mariana stared at Kane with a confused expression. Kane was quick to smile and not let them see something else on his face. “Believe me it's just for work issues.” Mr Gallagher smiled and nodded. “Of course Mr Whitemon. And, I believe you are going to have some of our designs from tonight's collections available in your stores?”“Certainly Mr Gallagher. My assistants will contact you by tomorrow. I don't turn down any deal that adds more zeros to my net worth.” Kane chuckled a little and even though it seemed like he would be caught out for it but his eyes kept going back to Abel once ver
His Second Chance 26 - Why Do You Care
Molly woke up around eleven in the morning. She wasn't a deep sleeper like her mother but last night made her exhausted. Ava had left for the restaurant and hour ago and it was only Madeline at home. Molly came out to meet her mother busy with some work in the living area. She was quiet and had her throat dry decided to head towards the kitchen for a cup of water. She was still very much upset with her mother for yelling at her the other day. She was halfway to the kitchen but her stomach growled which made Madeline turn to her side. “Honey, you're up?” Madeline smiled before getting up from the single sofa. “Are you hungry?” She walked towards the kitchen and was about to open the refrigerator. Not getting an answer, Madeline closed up the fridge back to now look down at Molly who had her head very low. “What's the matter sweetie?” Madeline got down to hold her and Molly raised her head to stare at her mother. “Am...sorry for not talking to you yesterday mommy. I realize that it was
His Second Chance 27 - Having Fun
“Will you tell me?” Madeline sighed and dropped her bottle to her side before staring up. She didn't want to remember old memories. Memories that hurt her deeply because she had never loved anyone as much as she loved Kane. He was like the other half of her soul. “His name is Kane. Molly's dad.” Madeline gulped and recalled her happy times with Kane. The first time they bumped into each other during their first year in university. Madeline was running late for class while joggling massive piles of books in her hands. Rushing to class and she bumped into someone with pretty emerald green eyes that locked with hers as soon as she fell to the floor. That's where it all began. She recalled his smile on her. How her heart did flutter to bump into a handsome lad on her very first day of school. A little teary and Madeline was quick to wipe her face. She sniffled before she felt Ava's hands tightly holding unto hers. “What exactly happened? Where did it all go wrong?” Ava enquired. “That's
His Second Chance 28 - Wanting Her Back
Two days Ago “I was surprised by your call....Mr Whitemon?” Kane smiled ushering Beatrice to take a seat on one of the sofas at the east corner of his office. “Why so formal Beatrice. Please am offended. Kane is fine by me. We do know each other.” Kane uttered. “Do you want some tea, coffee or an orange juice?” Kane quickly added before choosing to seat down. “No. Am good. Now what's the issue? Why do you need me?” Beatrice hadn't even got her handbag and coat off of her. It seemed she didn't plan to stay long in his office. Kane knew she was upset especially how it went downhill between them. They were close to friends but it ended terribly during their last meeting. Over six years. “Firstly I want to apologize for how our last meeting ended. It wasn't good and I was mostly at fault.” Kane offered his apology while forcing out his smile. He was used to this act of pretense for over five years and now he seemed to get the better hang of it. Beatrice did look a little surprised by
His Second Chance 29 - Kidnapped
Everything happened in a flash. Ava was hyperventilating with her legs running towards the direction of the car before it took the next turn to the right. She ran but her legs gave up on her after running towards four city blocks. She held her knees with her hands and kept gasping for air. Her eyes were still wide and her mouth was hanging down having no idea what had just happened.“No! Oh my God! W-what do I say to Made? She's going to kill me. Oh gosh! Why did this happen? Oh my God!” Ava ran back to the store and questioned the passerbys if they jotted down the license plate of the car that kidnapped her niece. Nobody was able to provide vital details except at the car was an old Mercedes Benz. She felt dizzy and couldn't even imagine to think what Madeline would say and how she would react. She straightened up and tried to even her breathing. She cursed that nobody even dared to take a quick picture of the car before it vanished. How was she supposed to approach the police witho
His Second Chance 30 - Run Over
“Mommy! Mommy! Let me go!” Molly kept struggling in-between two buffed up men at the backseat of the car. The car was moving at an intense speed and on their way towards the highway.“Shut up you brat!” The man in front yelled with a tsked face. He was tired of the little girl's screams and turned his neck around. “Find someway to shut her up. We're almost at the highway. No one can hear her scream.” “Make her unconscious or something but hurry!” Another man who was behind the wheel said already taken a turn. They had passed more than ten blocks and always looked back for the police. They had taken a huge risk in kidnapping a little girl in broad daylight but also one look at Molly gave them the information they needed. Her clothes were not of the finest quality which meant she wasn't from an affluent family. The police will do nothing especially after a few days had passed. One of them only smirked knowing by then the little girl would be already out of New York and out of the enti

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
