The Second Marriage Chance [Filipino]
"Did you ever, even once, imagine yourself loving me?" Sarah posed a hopeful question to Philip.
"Donāt make me laugh, Sarah. Everything between us has been purely about pleasure and business.ā
Matagal nang may nararamdaman si Sarah para kay Philip mula noong una niya itong makita sa isang sports magazine.
Nang iniwan si Philip ng fiancƩe nito para sumama sa ibang lalaki, walang pag-aalinlangang inialay ni Sarah ang sarili bilang kapalit na bride para iligtas ang lalaki sa kahihiyan.
Pagkatapos ng tatlong taong walang pag-ibig at saysay na kasal, naglakas-loob si Sarah na hiwalayan si Philip, na umaasa pa rin sa dati nitong nobya.
Nangako si Sarah sa sarili na makahahanap siya ng lalaking magmamahal, magtitiwala, at magpapahalaga sa kanya na parang isang reyna sa ikalawang pagkakataon.
Isang taon ang lumipas, muling nagtagpo ang kanilang landas.

Philip confronted Sarah in a ladiesā restroom, demanding, āDo not let other men touch you!ā
Sarah remained indifferent; her demeanor noticeably changed. āAnd what if I do?ā she retorted.
Philipās tone grew menacing, āYou wonāt like what Iād do.ā
Unfazed, Sarah shot back, āMr. Cornell, Iāve never liked what youāve done, even in the past. Thereās nothing new about that, and please stop whining like a baby,ā before turning and walking away, disdainfully leaving him behind.
