Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 15
Kelsey had no idea how hot she looked. Tyler tensed up, his hand shaking while holding the hair dryer. Pursing his lips, Tyler tried to keep it in his pants. Tyler focused his attention on blowing her hair dry, making sure to be gentle and thorough. He turned off the hair dryer when her hair was nearly dry. Without the whirring noise of the hair dryer, their breathing became apparent in the tiny walk-in closet. The heavy, ragged gasps left the room hanging with unspoken tension.Tyler’s arm somehow hooked onto her waist. Kelsey was taken aback. She cocked her head back and met his fiery gaze. Kelsey shivered. Getting on her tiptoes, she kissed Tyler on the lips. Tyler was shocked. His eyes widened. He could not believe that Kelsey would kiss him. Her tongue glided across his lips. Unable to hold himself back anymore, he deepened the kiss. Despite his yearning, he soon let go of her. “You forgot to breathe. Yet, you kissed me.” Tyler looked at her with

Tyler averted his gaze, restraining himself from looking at Kelsey. He kept his head down and put the cap on the ointment before placing it back in the medical kit. “Get an early rest.” Tyler got up, ready to leave. What was that supposed to mean? Kelsey stared at his receding back in confusion. She could sense his yearning, and unlike before, she was more than happy to give him what he wanted. Yet, Tyler still walked out on her. “Where are you going?” Kelsey asked in disbelief. “The study,” Tyler replied in a raspy voice while striding to the door. Surprise fleeted across Kelsey’s eyes. “Aren’t… sleeping with me?” She asked meekly. A wave of despair weighed heavily on her. Tyler let her stick around, put her in his shirt, and rested her head on his bed. Even at that point, he would not touch her. Kelsey did not see the point of staying at his place. She simply did not get it. Tyler would not give her an answer either. He had left the master bedroom
Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 17
Since it was nearly noon, Kelsey assumed Tyler must have left home and gone to work by now. Kelsey heard a woman talking downstairs when approaching the staircase. “I went to your office, Tyler, and your secretary said that you aren’t at work today. I thought I should check up on you in case you are sick.” Kelsey found the voice rather familiar. She listened carefully, and she finally determined the voice belonged to Zara. Zara’s presence at Tyler’s villa was the last thing Kelsey expected. Tyler simply gave Zara a chilling look without replying to her. His family owned the business, so he did not need to answer to anyone about his whereabouts, much less explain himself to Zara. A while later, he glanced at her in annoyance. “How do you know where I live?” Zara chuckled, not at all feeling embarrassed. She said smugly, “I live in the area too. Didn’t you know?” Zara bought a villa in the same community to be neighbors with Tyler upon learning of his residence the
Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 18
Kelsey got goosebumps from listening to Zara’s talk. The only thing she was unsure of was Tyler’s stance. Tyler had not said much, and Kelsey could not read his expression and body language from upstairs. There was no telling whether Tyler consented to Zara’s advances or wanted to kick her out of the house. Knowing Tyler, Kelsey thought he would not be pleased with a woman finding out his address and making an abrupt visit. However, Kelsey could not read his repulsion and refusal in his little words. It was the very reason why Zara was pushing her luck. The situation in the downstairs living room was a mystery to Kelsey. She could only speculate if they were looking into each other’s eyes or hugging. For all they knew, they could be sharing a kiss. Kelsey was filled with unrest and agitation. Tyler had given the necklace, the only belonging of his parents, to Zara after all. Zara clearly meant a lot to him. Perhaps Tyler would use Zara’s visit to the house to
Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 19
For the first time, Kelsey openly admitted to the public that Tyler was her fiancé. Zara turned ashen, her eyes narrowing on Kelsey. “Spent the night?” Zara murmured in shock. Assuming Kelsey’s statement was truthful, she would have crashed at Tyler's place last night. That would leave two adults alone in the house. One thing would surely lead to another. Zara cocked her head back and desperately looked at Tyler for confirmation. She hoped to hear Tyler deny last night’s events, even though the chances were slim. Tyler’s gaze fell on Zara as he contemplated a response. Suddenly, Kelsey clutched his tie and yanked him toward her. “Why are you looking at her? Is she hotter than me?” Tyler replied without thinking, “You’re hotter.” Bingo. Kelsey felt good. The displeasure of seeing Zara in Tyler’s pad lifted. Kelsey glanced at Zara’s grimace and asked, “Should I give you some space since Ms. Quest is here?” She motioned to push Tyler away. Tyler tightened
Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 20
Zara sure had the nerve to stick around. Kelsey’s words made Zara’s blood boil. “You—” Her lips quivered with her resentment for Kelsey. Kelsey interrupted Zara from talking, “What? Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.” She showed Zara the door. Zara swallowed her anger. “Who said I was leaving?” Kelsey could think twice about getting rid of her. With a raised brow, Kelsey asked, “Don’t tell me you want to stay to watch me and my husband get intimate. Are you still trying to hook up with my husband?” Zara was furious because Kelsey’s statement hit a raw nerve. “Tyler is not your husband. Have you no shame?” Kelsey glanced at her mockingly. “We are engaged, and the man is mine. You’re the one without any shame for throwing yourself at him.” Zara’s face drained of color. “What did you say?” “Am I wrong?” Kelsey refuted nonchalantly, “You knew he had a fiancée, but you invited yourself to his place. Who knows what you are up to?” Zara was speechless.
Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 21
Zara’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Tyler…” Her face turned pale with hurt. However, Tyler would not even look at Zara. He said sternly, “Get out!” Zara shivered in fear. She dared not stick around. Zara turned and headed to the door. Before her departure, Zara gave Kelsey a dirty look. The malice was apparent in her gaze. Kelsey could not care less. She and Tyler were still engaged. Despite Zara’s attempts to sink her claws into Kelsey’s man, she had been unsuccessful and shifted the blame to Kelsey instead. “Let’s just ignore her, babe.” Kelsey dangled Tyler’s arm, not wanting Zara to ruin their lunch together. To her surprise, Tyler released her arm without a word. He then went upstairs. “Hey, where are you going?” Kelsey asked in confusion. “The study!” Tyler responded. Kelsey blinked. “Aren’t you having lunch with me?” “Don’t wait up for me.” Tyler’s expression was hard to read. He disappeared into the depths of the spiraling staircase.Kels
Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 22
Tyler was not in the study. Kelsey wondered where he could be. She hoped Tyler did not run after Zara. Even when Kelsey rushed down the stairs just now, she did not find Tyler and Zara in a compromising position. Tyler was indifferent to Zara the whole time too. However, Kelsey could not shake off the thought that Zara was in possession of the necklace left behind by Tyler’s parents. Kelsey felt uneasy. Tyler would not have given the necklace of sentimental value to Zara unless he was serious about her. Kelsey could only speculate about Tyler’s feelings for Zara. Her gaze moved around the room. Kelsey stumbled upon the velvet box on his desk from last night. She walked over and opened the box for a look. The velvet box contained the Angel’s Tear. The necklace was still there. Tyler had not presented the necklace to anyone yet. For some reason, Kelsey was relieved. She waited in Tyler’s study for a while. His prolonged absence left her no choice but to leav

It was upsetting enough for Kelsey since Charlie managed to deceive her once more. However, Megan had to gloat. “What did I tell you? I told you Charlie can’t afford this place. He can’t even show his face because he’s expected to pay the bill.” “Oh, quit it!” Kelsey glared at Megan. To think Kelsey would give her an attitude. Megan had Steve on her side now. She was no longer the other woman who lived off Charlie’s good graces. Surely, Megan earned the right to mock Charlie. “You’re the manager. Has St. Gills lost its exclusivity? It’s a disgrace that you let just about anyone in,” Megan said sarcastically. Kelsey retaliated. “Oh, aren’t you a picture of poise, Megan? With your sugar daddy, you can’t even make it past security.” “You!” Megan looked daggers at Kelsey. Livid, Megan commanded the manager, “Throw the bitch out now before I’ll make sure your establishment ceases to operate.” The manager narrowed his eyes on Kelsey and Megan. Judging by Kelsey’s mod

“Kelsey, what are you doing here?” Megan asked harshly.With Megan and Steve approaching, the manager drew close and welcomed them. It then dawned on Kelsey that Megan and Steve were the VIPs who took the private lounge from Charlie. The manager explained the situation, and Megan sneered. “Charlie is going broke. I doubt he can afford to dine at St. Gill’s. With his mounting debts, he’s embarrassing himself when the time comes to pay the bill.” Kelsey narrowed her eyes. Charlie must be using Susan’s birthday as a pretext to ask for more money from Tyler since the family business was going bust. However, Tyler had given Charlie a large sum of money. It was puzzling how Charlie managed to burn through it. Kelsey snapped back with a smirk. “Even so, Charlie is paying with his own money, unlike some people who can’t live a day without a sugar daddy.” Color drained from Megan’s face. Kelsey was basically calling her a gold digger. Megan would not be in this position in th

Kelsey and Rosette discussed the specifics of auditioning for Adrienne’s new film’s costume design role.As the time neared noon, Kelsey glanced at her phone. Tyler had not replied to her text message. It was nearly time for Susan’s birthday celebration at St. Gill’s. Kelsey decided to go ahead to St. Gill’s. While on the way, she gave Charlie a call to inform that Tyler would not be available for the celebration. Charlie’s voice reflected his disappointment. “What’s this? Why can’t Tyler make it?” Kelsey bit the bullet and explained, “I haven’t been able to reach him.” “I thought Tyler adored you. Why couldn’t you get in touch with him? Did you upset him?” Charlie grilled her. Kelsey refuted, “Things have been going well for us, thanks for asking. He has an emergency today.” Her bond with Tyler could not be stronger. Heck, they nearly went all the way this morning. The nerve of her father to put her down. Charlie was furious. “I knew I couldn’t count on you.” He

Kelsey frowned. “What are you up to now?” She doubted Charlie was so nice to want the family to be together for her grandmother, Susan’s birthday. It was probably an excuse to get close to Tyler. Since Charlie got together with Megan, Kelsey could count on her finger the number of times he had been to the nursing home to visit Susan. Kelsey could not remember the last time Charlie celebrated Susan’s birthday. Charlie could not even remember Susan’s birthdate. Yet, Charlie was so kind to throw her a party. Kelsey could only suspect that Charlie had ulterior motives. “How can you say that about me, Kelsey? I’m your father. Am I wrong to throw your grandmother a birthday party?” Charlie reprimanded. Kelsey was skeptical. “You’re not wrong, but…” It was uncertain whether he had Susan’s interest at heart. “But what?” Charlie asked. He started blaming himself. “I know that I listened to Megan and neglected you and Mom. I’ve gotten rid of her. Now, I just want to be a go

With a predatory glint in his eyes, Tyler pressed his lips against Kelsey’s.“I’ll take your silence as your consent.” “Hang on!” Kelsey pushed him away. She meant business since it was about his sleepwalking last night. “I have a question.” “What is it?” Tyler asked in a raspy voice, his lips still lingering across her skin. His hands eagerly pulled her gown off her. “Do you sleepwalk?” Kelsey asked. Tyler paused, his eyes bearing a weight of emotions. Kelsey knew she was right on the money. Tyler had known about his sleepwalking. “Did you know you were sleepwalking last night?” Kelsey said while fixating earnestly on him. She was more concerned about his health. Tyler seemed healthy. Yet, he wandered off in a sleeping state. Judging by Tyler’s response, it was not his first rodeo. Generally speaking, sleepwalking was associated with trauma or unresolved issues. Kelsey suspected that Tyler had been through some kind of trauma, or something in his past wa

Tyler opened his eyes abruptly. Bare and dominant, he loomed above Kelsey while his penetrating gaze looked deep into her soul.Lost in the heat of his kiss, Kelsey opened her eyes in confusion at his sudden pause. She met his profound gaze. Kelsey’s heart skipped a beat. Her breath hitched. She stared at the man towering over her in disbelief, her eyes bulging. Tyler was awake. He examined her, his eyes scouring every inch of her body. Once he was certain that it was Kelsey, Tyler was relieved. “I’m home, babe,” he uttered with a sigh of relief. Feeling assured, he closed his eyes and rested his head on her shoulder. He filled his lungs with her familiar scent. Kelsey was taken aback, but her head gradually cleared. She thought that Tyler would not stop their little bed activity. However, Tyler stayed in the same position for a while. His steady breathing came soon after. He fell asleep. Kelsey was in disbelief. Since he wanted her so badly, Kelsey ass

Worried, Kelsey followed Tyler in case he hurt himself or fell off the stairs. He was not in a conscious state after all. Kelsey would not be so abrupt as to wake him from his sleepwalking. She was aware that waking a sleepwalker could lead to shock or other health problems.Kelsey stuck close behind Tyler and made sure he got up the stairs safely. Tyler returned to their bedroom and lay on the bed. Kelsey drew close for a look. The soft moonlight streamed through the French windows, casting a hazy glow over his defined face.Tyler lay there motionlessly, his eyes closed.Kelsey watched him sleep tenderly. For a moment, she drooled over him. However, she quickly frowned at the smell of alcohol on Tyler. Kelsey went to open the window to let in some airflow, dispersing the fumes of liquor. She then picked out a fresh pair of pajamas from the closet for Tyler.Tyler would need a change of briefs too. However, Kelsey’s cheeks burned when she pulled his brief draw

Kelsey returned to the villa she shared with Tyler. She intended to tell Tyler how her day with her best friend had gone. Charles was somehow caught in the crossfire. Yvonne’s mother-in-law accused her of having an affair with Charles which did a number to his reputation. Kelsey wanted to ask Tyler about his opinion on returning Charles’ favor. Since Charles was Tyler’s childhood friend, Tyler must know him best. However, Tyler had business plans to attend to, so he would not be home for dinner.Kelsey was alone in the upstairs bedroom, occupied with all related matters involving her new business venture. Since Kelsey and Rosette were going to audition to design costumes for Adrienne’s new film, Kelsey felt it was essential to study the genre of the new film and Adrienne’s past fashion choices. Time passed. By the time Kelsey shut her laptop, it was eleven at night. Rising to her feet, she stretched and walked out of the bedroom. Kelsey was on her way downstairs

“I’m sorry, Kelsey. I’m sorry to ruin lunch,” Yvonne murmured. Kelsey put her arm around her shoulder. “Why are you apologizing to me? Charles told me what he needed me for. It’s okay to skip lunch.” She paused and looked at Yvonne, her head tilted. “But Yvonne, you seem to have changed.” “How so?” Yvonne asked with a raised brow. “You’ve become composed and cunning now.” Kelsey said with admiration, “But it’s a good thing. I don’t want you to be Adam and his family’s doormat. You didn’t marry him to be his slave.” Yvonne curled her lips. “I’ve been through a lot, but I’ve learned a lot too. I had to learn from my mistakes.” She used to walk on eggshells around her husband and mother-in-law. She gave them too much leeway, and they walked all over her. In the future, Yvonne would not be so dumb as to let others hurt her again. She needed to stand up for herself. … Kelsey dropped Yvonne back home. Before, Yvonne would cry to Kelsey for hours after Agatha humiliated
