All Chapters of A Second Chance From The Heavens: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

‘My Lover’, the title read. And there was no author’s name.The story went as follows:-Once upon a time, there lived two lovers. Their names were Mark and Wendy. They had been together for seven years and were high school sweethearts.Mark was the sweetest guy that Wendy could ever ask for. He had a nice personality, he had a stable, good-paying job, and they also lived together in an apartment, contributing to the costs equally.Wendy was also living her best life with a loving boyfriend and the career of her dreams.But like all good things, they were all bound to end.One day, Mark brought home a strange fruit. He told Wendy that he found it in the bag of apples that he bought from the market. It must’ve been misplaced by the vendor somehow.The fruit was oddly-shaped, like a longer version of an apple. Only, it was thinner. Its color also resembled an apple, red and juicy.Thinking that it must’ve been a coincidental deformation, Mark and Wendy shrugged it off. After washing the

“I… I can’t, Matt,” Allison said, shaking her head vehemently. “I can’t do this…”“Lise, you have to talk to me about this,” Matthew said, trying to keep his voice as gentle as possible. He didn’t want her to think that he hated her or anything. “You can’t just keep this to yourself forever. Don’t you think I need to know about this, too?”Allison bit her lower lip, still having that uncertain look on her face. She looked torn, as though wondering how she could possibly get out of this situation.However, Matthew had no intention of letting her go. This had been going on for too long. Keeping secrets stubbornly would only take a toll on her over time.Same for him as well. They would only get stuck in this loop of uncertainty, a twisted, vicious cycle that stemmed from doubts and a lack of trust and understanding.“I know, Mattie… It’s just…” Allison let out a deep breath. “It’s so hard for me to say…”Matthew stared at her for a moment before gesturing towards the bed. “Maybe we shou

“Lise…” Matthew began carefully. “If it’s something that you don’t wish to tell me…”Allison shook her head vehemently. “Please, Mattie,” she said imploringly, sounding like she was on the verge of crying once more. “I don’t want to tell this to you. Not… Not yet. It’s not… not important…”She was fumbling with her words. She wasn’t prepared, and she really seemed like she didn’t want him to know about it.He was overly concerned, but if it was something personal, then he didn’t really have the right to prod her about it. He simply came here to ask about their daughter, their baby that she willingly kept from him for years. He wanted to know the truth of the matter, and he got it in the end. He liked to believe that he managed to take the burden and guilt off Allison’s shoulders as well.He was still worried about what she mentioned in her letters, though. He made a mental note to himself to ask her more about it, but he had to approach the issue very gently. He needed to be careful a

They arrived at the Garden of Livia in fifteen minutes. Allison had gotten so preoccupied with staring out the window that she didn’t realize they had already arrived at their destination.Blushing, she lowered her head as she exited the car, with the chauffeur graciously opening the door for her. “Sorry… I got distracted,” she said sheepishly.Matthew chuckled. “It’s nothing for you to apologize about,” he assured. He then looked around, a satisfied expression on his face. “The air is pretty nice here, right?”Allison stepped forward, fascinated by her surroundings. There was a large, silver gate ahead, indicating the entrance. There was a guard post at the side, presumably to take written logs of the visitors or tourists. Other than that, she felt like she was surrounded by nature itself.Flowers, shrubs, bushes, and trees were everywhere, making it seem like a magical place. The faint sunlight shone on the grass, the sky a bright blue.The two of them entered with a bodyguard follo

When they returned to the villa, Matthew’s phone rang with an incoming call. Allison left to go to her room, giving him some privacy. Though it was mostly because she didn’t want to hear him talking to Lily.Matthew stared at the screen of his phone, focused especially on the caller ID.It was Bryce.Matthew took a deep breath before accepting the call. “Hello?”“Matt,” Bryce said, his tone hushed. “The Chairman suddenly got an important call from Germany. It seems that the investor that Mr. Chairman has been persuading for a long time has finally considered his request. He hasn’t returned to the country yet and is currently on a plane flying straight to Germany.”Matthew felt the air escape his lungs, his shoulders sagging with relief. Good. His father didn’t know yet.“I’ve been doing my best to fill in for you. Thanks for at least responding to my emails quickly,” Bryce continued on, though his tone was clearly weary. “I know you’ve always been busy, but I never imagined that it wo
