One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 145: Do you still love him?

~~~Just smile for me and let the day begin. You are the sunshine that lights my heart within. And I'm sure that you're an angel in disguise. Come take my hand and together we will rise. You look at me and I begin to melt just like the snow when a ray of sun is felt. I'm crazy 'bout you baby, can't you see? I'd be so delighted if you would come with me~~~

"... Yes, you belong to me and I'm yours exclusively. Right now we live and breathe each other. Inseparable it seems, we're flowing like a stream, running free, traveling on the wings of love..."

A smile formed on my lips when I saw how happy Dana was as she danced with her now husband, Caleb. Indeed, the two are a great pair. We are now at their wedding reception and a beautiful love song was playing around the venue.

I looked around with a smile on my lips and couldn't help but sigh. It has been ten years since I experienced getting married, it's just that it wasn't like this... it was far from this because instead of happiness, smiles of uncertainty were on my lips at that time. I wanted to enjoy and celebrate my wedding because who wouldn't be--- it's my wedding! But I couldn't because I knew that the man I married didn't feel the same for me.

I took a deep breath, closing my eyes for a few seconds to prevent the tears from falling. Tears that I don't understand where they came from.

"...On the wings of love up and above the clouds the only way to fly is on the wings of love. On the wings of love only the two of us together flying high, flying high up on the wings of love..."

"Eherm!"

I gasped slightly when Dana suddenly came in front of me and called my attention. I didn't notice her walking in my direction as I stayed in close eyes while humming the lyrics of the song.

"Hmm... what are you thinking?" She asked smiling as she took the vacant seat next to me. "Are you upset because you didn't see your husband in the church earlier and even here at the reception?" "Tss! Why should I be upset? And for once, Dana, he's no longer my husband, okay?" But she just chuckled at me.

Rolling my eyes, I straightened my seat but then suddenly, I saw something--- someone rather from the corner of my eyes and I turned in his direction. And my mouth dropped at the scene that came into my sight. "Ohh... he's here," I heard Dana mutter.

Yeah, he's here. My ex-husband is here with the bitch clinging onto his arm.

"What the hell is she doing here?"

I turned to her as the tone of her voice suddenly changed from cheerful to annoyed.

"That's the same question I have in mind. Did you invite her?"

"No, of course, not! Why would I?" She replied frowning.

"Maybe your husband did," I mumbled with a shrug.

"Hmmp! Don't worry, she won't stay long!"

"It's okay, let her be---"
