Game Over No Second Chances novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18 

Zach boarded the plane to Javerton City, the torrential rain hammering against the tarmac. As the plane took off, the cabin was filled with murmurs of frustration from business 

Of all does, it had to storm tonight. We have a major bid opening tomorrowwho knows if we’ll even land safely!“ 

I heard the pilot say turbulence might be bad during descent… 

Zach tuned out the noise. Every passing second felt like an eternity. His mind was a whirlwind of thought

Why had Serena returned to Javerton City? Who was the man beside her? Why was she still refusing to see him

The turbulence hit hard, jolting the aircraft. The captain’s voice echoed through the speakers

Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seatbelts. We are expecting turbulence and preparing for an emergency landing

With each jolt, the turbulence grew more intense 

Zach’s heart pounded as passengers around him reactedsome murmuring prayers, others hurriedly calling their families or texting what could be their final goodbyes 

Is this really the end?he wondered to himself

Amidst the violent turbulence, Zach became painfully aware of one thinghis mind was still consumed by a single thought 

Why hasn’t Serena come back? The young woman he had spent 13 years with was now completely out of reach

Zach had sent countless messages to her, but every single one tailed to go through

She wasn’t replying anymore

The plane trembled before finally coming to a halt. Cheers erupted throughout the cabin, relief washing over the passengers when the plane safely landed

However, Zach felt only nausea churning in his gut. Ignoring it, he forced himself up, keeping a cold, unreadable expression

His messages had all been ignored, disappearing into the void with the grey checkinark Without wasting another second, he rushed off the plane, suppressing the urge to be sick

He immediately ordered someone to track down Serena’s whereabouts, then got into a car and drove straight to her

Even in the face of death, she was the only one on his mind

He had to see her 

The plane made an emergency landing but arrived sately 

The news anchor’s relieved voice echoed through Serena’s quiet home 

Serena had only turned on the TV to break the silence. Yet as the anchor choked back tears of joy, celebrating the survival of all passengers, she found herself smiling faintly

It really was a good day

It was late into the night, and she started feeling hungry. She ordered takeout and soon received a call from the delivery driver

Miss, the security at Crestview Bay is too tight.can’t get in.” 

I’ll come down to get it,she replied 

Since she hadn’t hired a maid yet, she had no choice but to go herself 

As she reached the neighborhood gate and grabbed the takeout bag, a familiar voice suddenly called out to her

Rena!” 

That voice, that nicknameit could only be one person 

Serena’s fingers clenched tightly around the takeout bag. She turned toward the sound of the voice
