Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 290
All the lights on the stage dimmed at once.A faint voice emitted from the speakers.The audience who had been waiting for the whole event to end had grown impatient by this point. Suddenly, they were entranced by the music.They turned to the stage at the same time.A dim beam of light shot up from the platform and projected the image of black roses on the wall.When the roses began to bloom, the music began to echo across the hall.Soon, a lady in a black dress appeared at the center of the stage.It was accompanied by vines sprouting from the platform.Some of these vines even entangled themselves around her feet.The audience was shocked by the mesmerizing, immersive display.“Wow! This looks amazing!”“I have a feeling that this final contestant is going to put on something mind-blowing for us.”“She is so beautiful, who is the designer and model?”The audience was already murmuring praises.The judges were just as entranced by the final performer’s immersive present

There was no way Kelsey could win the competition with this score.For what it was worth, she would not come in last place.She would be placed in an award spot somewhere in the middle but she would not be placed in the top three.Needless to say, many people were not very pleased with the result.After all, Kelsey's performance had blown the audience away.As far as the audience was concerned, she was their champion.Even if she was not the champion, she should at least get a top-three placement.Anything lesser than that was unacceptable.Soon, some people in the audience began to make a commotion and protest.They were crying out that the judging criteria were far too arbitrary and that the judges were unfair.Netizens watching online were just as dissatisfied and started to bombard the comment section with their complaints.They all expressed their dissatisfaction and spoke up for Kelsey.The organizers realized that the situation was turning awry.With that, they turn

“You!” Yvonne was incensed and rushed at Zara to say her piece.She was sure Zara had tampered with the result somehow.How else could Kelsey get a measly sixty points after the show she put on?“Don’t bother, Yvonne. We’re not going to fight with the pigs and get our boots dirty.” Kelsey grabbed Yvonne just in time and tried to speak some sense into her.Zara lashed out at her. “Who are you calling a pig?”Cerys, who was next to Zara, seemed very upset about the remark.Kelsey was about to say something when the host on stage interrupted her. “And the runner-up is… Kelsey Young!”Another thunderous round of applause broke out.Zara and Cerys were taken aback.How could this be possible?They had already bribed the judges to give Kelsey a low score.She received a combined sixty points from the judge's panels, how did she manage to be the runner-up?That was when the host continued, “Since Kelsey had received the highest number of votes from the audience as well as dear spe

Zara may have bribed the judges, but that was not enough to take down Kelsey.It must be Tyler who pulled some strings behind the scenes to help Kelsey.Kelsey sneered back at her. “It looks like you’re the one who is jealous of me, aren’t you?”A sharp, hateful look gleamed across Zara’s eyes in response. She put on a strong front. “What a joke, why would I ever be jealous of you!”Kelsey cut through her bones with an insult. “You should be jealous that I have a husband who only cares about me!”Zara was seething with rage by this point.She glowered at Kelsey. She had never felt so much rage building up inside her.So what if Tyler was into her? What about it?She knew there was nothing she could do about Kelsey now since she had Tyler’s support. Just wait until Tyler got bored of her and tossed her aside, then she would get her revenge!“Kelsey, you better pray that Tyler never loses interest in you, or else… You’ll see what happens then!”A sinister look that contrasted s

“Ah!”Kelsey cried out in horror.Her first instinct was to grab onto something on the stage, but that was when Zara stepped on her foot.She yelped in pain and pulled away.Since the stage was temporarily installed, no safety measures were implemented to prevent someone from falling off.Everyone was stunned with horror as they looked on.By the time they came back to their senses, a large figure was already bolting toward her like a flash of lightning.“Kelsey!”Tyler was frowning sharply with anxiety and concern written across his brows.“Are you okay? Are you hurt?”Kelsey bit her lip and shook her head to assure him. “I’m fine!”Despite her claims, he could tell that all the color had drained out of her face.He quickly proceeded to inspect her body.“Were you hurt? Which part hurts ?” he asked nervously.He knew she was only telling him she was fine because she did not want him to worry.Despite that, he could vividly tell that she was in pain from the fall.All t

“If this happens again, it’ll be more than just a slap!” Tyler directed a hateful look at Zara. His tone was menacing and it was clear that this was the last warning he would give her.Zara had pulled out all the dirty tricks in the book in tonight’s competition to sabotage Kelsey.The entire time, Tyler had been withholding his rage and letting it all slide.However, Zara pushing her luck and assaulting his woman right on stage was the straw that broke the camel’s back.Did she take him for a joke?Zara was so intimidated by the murderous look in Tyler’s eyes to the point where she began weeping.She cried out aggrievedly, “It’s not... I…”Unfortunately for her, Tyler was too incensed to even be bothered to listen to her terrible excuses.“Get out of here right now while you still can!”Fury was written across Tyler’s eyes while he bellowed with rage.Zara shivered again from fear.She stared at Tyler’s vicious glower, then at Kelsey, who was doubled over on the floor.

Inside the hospital ward.Kelsey was lying on the bed and receiving an IV drip.Her ankle injury had been properly dressed and bandaged. The IV drip contained a mixture of painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs that helped with lessening the pain.“Kelsey, how do you feel now?”Tyler sat next to her bed and observed her pale complexion with a sympathizing look in her eyes. His voice was especially gentle.“I’m feeling much better!” Kelsey strained a smile. “What did the doctor say?”“The doctor said there is nothing to worry about and that all you need to recover is bed rest.” Tyler made himself smile so Kelsey would not worry so much.“See? I told you it’s no big deal!” Kelsey remarked with a smile.A dark look appeared deep underneath Tyler’s eyes.He did not mention how long it was going to take for Kelsey to fully recover.Nor did he tell her the full extent of how serious her injury was.He worried it would be too much for her to bear.All he wanted was for her to r

Kelsey was concerned. “You’re coming by yourself for a checkup? Why isn’t Adam coming with you?”Yvonne's expression shifted slightly upon hearing this. A dark sheet suddenly came up over her eyes.“He's busy with work.” She made up an excuse for Adam.Kelsey frowned with disapproval. “Even if he is busy, he can't let you come to the hospital all by yourself for a checkup. What if something happens to you?”Yvonne responded with a bitter smile, “He asked his mother to come with me, but I was the one who refused the offer. I knew that if she came with me, she was going to drum up a situation and make me perform an ultrasound to find out the gender of the baby. If she finds out it’s a girl, they will want me to divorce Adam.”Kelsey was baffled by the comment. “How patriarchal! They don’t want a daughter? What, do they think they need an heir to inherit an empire? Also, you’re not the only parent of the child. Why is Adam not coming with you in person but is sending his mother in pl

Steve felt embarrassed. He had been wanting to make Tyler’s acquaintance, but a chance to meet him was hard to come by. Now that he ran into Tyler, Steve was determined to make the most out of it. “Let me be a host to you today, Mr. Lang—” Megan cut Steve off. “Mr. Lang, you might not know this, but Kelsey’s father is facing bankruptcy. He’s deep in debt too. Kelsey and her father are just going to be your burden. Don’t let Kelsey’s seemingly innocence fool you. They are just going to leech off you. My daughter, Josephine, is a nice and sensible girl. She’s a better companion than Kelsey. I’ll be delighted to introduce you to her.” Kelsey was impressed with Megan. Even now, Megan had not given up on pushing Josephine into Tyler’s arms. In Kelsey’s past life, Megan went to lengths to matchmake Josephine and Tyler. Nevertheless, Tyler never took an interest in Josephine. Megan was just as delusional as ever. However, Kelsey had no idea that Charlie owed a lot of mon

“She’s just a bitch.” Megan hissed through clenched teeth, her jealousy showing. She had a hunch. The sudden change in the manager’s attitude toward Kelsey was likely due to Tyler. Megan wished she had Kelsey’s luck to meet a good-looking and rich man. Steve did not believe Megan. If Kelsey was just an ordinary woman, the manager would not take her up to the exclusive top floor. That was a height Steve could never reach despite a lifetime of hard work. However, Kelsey had no plans to accept the manager’s invitation to dine on the top floor. Since Charlie would not be attending or taking Susan out of the nursing home, Kelsey had no reason to dine alone on the top floor. Kelsey was better off getting back to her new office and ordering a takeout. Her discussion with Rosette about the costume design for Adrienne’s new film would continue this afternoon.However, the manager stopped her from leaving and apologized to her frantically. “Please see it in your heart not to

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
