The Second Marriage Chance [English]
"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
Sarah had harbored feelings for Philip ever since she first saw him in a sports magazine. When his fiancƩe abandoned him at the altar to elope with another man, Sarah selflessly offered herself as a replacement bride to spare his embarrassment.
After enduring three years of a loveless and toxic marriage, Sarah finally summoned the courage to divorce Philip, who was still pining for his former fiancƩe.
She vowed to herself that she would find another man who would love, trust, and worship her like a queen. This is what she sought if she were to marry a second time.
A year later, their paths crossed again. 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.
