The Second Marriage Chance [Filipino]
"Did you ever, even once, imagine yourself loving me?" Sarah posed a hopeful question to Philip.
"Donโt make me laugh, Sarah. Everything between us has been purely about pleasure and business.โ
Matagal nang may nararamdaman si Sarah para kay Philip mula noong una niya itong makita sa isang sports magazine.
Nang iniwan si Philip ng fiancรฉe 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 ladiesโ restroom, demanding, โDo not let other men touch you!โ
Sarah remained indifferent; her demeanor noticeably changed. โAnd what if I do?โ she retorted.
Philipโs tone grew menacing, โYou wonโt like what Iโd do.โ
Unfazed, Sarah shot back, โMr. Cornell, Iโve never liked what youโve done, even in the past. Thereโs nothing new about that, and please stop whining like a baby,โ before turning and walking away, disdainfully leaving him behind.
