New Life : A Second Chance Chapter 590

"Unless if the person is a total douche-bag or a lying cheating scum, a relationship that fails is caused by both parties," Kay said.
"Why else do you think there would always be some who support you, and some who would support Kyle?" Kay pointed out, "I won't play the blaming game or pick who was more at fault here. That is something that no one can determine fully."
"However, it is clear that when a relationship fails, most of the time it is due to lack of communication, or misunderstandings," Kay said, "These are things that Kyle knew and wanted to avoid, but ... well ... he's really a very straightforward person, Sari."
"He doesn't play mind games," Kay said, "Which is ironic since his entire life means him having to figure out other people's thoughts and moves in order to counter them. I guess, when it came to you, he just thought all of that was not needed. His mistake again."
"Look, you're a really nice girl and I can see why my brother loved you so deeply. I think … you would have been good together."
Kay had to admit that grudgingly.
Knowing her brother, and his tastes, she could truly understand why this innocent little baby appealed to him so much. She was like a breath of fresh air in his twisted world.
"However, your insecurities and lack of ability to talk to him would have been the cause of the crack sooner or later," Kay said, "If only you would have communicated your fears to him. If only you had trusted him."
"I don't deny that Kyle has his faults as well but don't expect him to be doing all the consoling and the work in the relationship. He's always going to be busy and always will have women fling themselves at him. He's handsome, rich and powerful. What woman wouldn't want that?"

"But his heart would only be with you."
"What's the point of his heart, if he shares his body with others?" Sari finally said, having the courage to say so after receiving so much criticism from Kay.
Kay looked at Sari in disbelief.
"What sharing? Do you mean this?" Kay asked, lifting the teacup, "The fact that I drank from the same cup as his, like an indirect kiss?"
"He's my twin brother and we share a bond that can never be broken," Kay said, "But your bond with him is also something that I can never touch. If you're jealous of me ..."
"No! It's not that," Sari denied, though she knew this was a lie.
Kay saw through her immediately and sighed, "Do you know you lie very badly?"
"I ..." Sari began, then flustered upon seeing Kay's unwavering gaze.
She brought her head down and said honestly, "Yes, I was feeling a bit ... jealous but I believe I would accept it sooner or later."
"No, you wouldn't unless you are honest with yourself. You have to actually say it out loud," Kay said, "If I had not detected your uncomfortableness and lie, you would have continued feeling jealous and it would have eaten up at you, right?"
Kay looked enlightened, "And you weren't referring to this now, were you? No wonder ..."
Kay gave out a deep sigh and looked sadly at Sari.
"Kyle loved you exactly for the person that you are. Kind, gentle, loving. He knew you were insecure but he thought his love for you was enough to convince you that you are all that he needs. He was busy, and he had no idea you suspected him of anything because he would never have suspected you of anything."

"Think about it. You sought comfort about the pain with another guy, so the thought of Kyle seeking comfort in the arms of another woman was a natural thought," Kay said, "People tend to measure other people based on what they, too, are capable of doing."
"I wasn't cheating on him!" Sari said vehemently, "Hamdan was just a friend."
"So why is it that you can have a friend, and nothing happened, yet Kyle can't?"
"Why is it that you require constant reassurance from him but you never needed to reassure him?"
"Why the double standards?"
"Did he do something to make you doubt him ... or was the doubt planted by Dina?"
Sari gulped.
"Don't answer that. Just think about that properly," Kay said.
Then, with another deep sigh, Kay got up and walked towards the front door. It was obvious that Sari believed her brother had been cheating on her, and a few words wouldn't be able to convince her otherwise.
The most Kay could do, was point out certain things and Sari would have to reach the conclusion herself.
"For what's it's worth," Kay said as Sari opened the door for Kay, "My brother never cheated on you. Never has, never would have. He's still a virgin, you know."
Sari's hand froze on the doorknob.
"How ... how would you know?" Sari whispered.
"I'm his twin," Kay said, "We share everything. That is something both of you should have, actually, as a couple."
Sari had no words to say to that.
Kay looked at her properly and knew that the current Sari would not have survived in their world.
If she was this insecure, nothing Kyle did would have assured her. His decisive action to step back and let her live a normal life with Hamdan showed how much he truly loved her.
Could she have learned and grown?
Of course, but if this past year was any indication, her growth was too little and too slow. She would have buckled under the pressure long before anything. Kyle had a huge responsibility on his shoulders and his wife should not be the one to add on to that.
Neither would have been truly happy.
"Thank you for giving my brother happiness when you were together," Kay said finally, "Please, be aware and think more. Communicate with your beloved more."
"Just, be happy."

Don't Come Inside, Okay?
Lars Cromwell just got dumped by his girlfriend of 3 months, apparently because she found someone better. Although the normal man would have been bummed out by this, Lars didn't particularly mind. Because Lars just won the lottery, which meant he was about a billion dollars richer now. And he had one less person to share it with! Even if he was single, at least he was filthy stinking rich! In any case, this is Lars' story. A story that begins just like how many others do. With his death. Join Lars as he reincarnates into another world as his Avatar together with his favorite game's Dungeon and it's NPCs! = This Work is on an indefinite Hiatus. I do not know when I'll get back to this, but I plan to rewrite a bunch of stuff when I do. If you liked this, keep following it so that I can inform you of when I improve this! = Hello, I'm Lire, and this is my 2nd fiction. I recently got into the whole dungeon thing, and thought that I wanted to write one of my own! Chapter Length: 2000+ Words. It can only be more, never less. Chapter Release Schedule: Whenever I can write. I am juggling this with my main Fiction, so yeah... Disclaimer: - Don't expect much statistical growth from the MC. Although I plan for him to refine his techniques and increase his repertoire. - You can guess from the name, but there will not be too much action in the dungeon itself. Plus, the dungeon has been fully built, so not too many things will be added either. The whole idea is to kill potential intruders before they enter the Dungeon. - This will be more like a Kingdom building story, than a Dungeon Building one. MC will try to dominate his surroundings so that he can keep his Dungeon safe. - There will be Slice of life elements, since realistically speaking, events aren't supposed to happen all the time. - This work is inspired, to a certain extent, by Murayama-sama's Overlord Light novel. Minus the 'emotionless' undead MC, and the premise of misunderstandings. The NPCs will also be aware that they were characters in a game, that came to life for some reason, so no need for MC to role-play to pull the wool over the eyes of his own allies. Also, unlike Overlord, there is a chance for the cast of characters to increase through a built-in gacha system(This is not a spoiler, this will literally be explained in the first few chapters.), except that the rates are absolutely abysmal, so it won't happen frequently. Maybe I'll use a poll to decide the next ally? We'll see.

Whispers from the dark
During the dark times, the humans and elves decided to work together to defeat the Fiend. A high king among the humans was chosen, together with his archmage he defeated the Fiend. A few years of peace, until the high king lost it. He was convinced that the mages would steal the crown and take over his world. Scared as he was, he decided to hunt down everyone with magical abilities. Elves retreated to the safety of their forests and mountains, forever remaining a mystery to the humans. Many non-magical humans agreed to this plan of their lord, for they were also afraid that the mages would take advantage of their weaknesses. The mages tried to survive. The archmage, who was the former counsellor of the last king and protector of the royal family, protested. He wanted to solve this problem through politics. But nothing helped, and the archmage fled. The king got two sons, one was born a mage, and the other human. The king despised his mage son and banished him. His younger brother became the heir of the throne. Anger grew in the mage prince. He thought war was the only solution to this problem. Consumed by the will to gain power, he searched for followers who would fight the humans in order to stop the hunt on mages. The archmage tried to stop this evil plan of the prince. But the mages split in two groups. The necromancers, followers of the evil prince, who studied the crafts of the dark magic to terrorise their enemies and gain back the throne. And the sorcerers, followers of the archmage, who tried to peacefully restore the trust between humans and mages. But nobody knew the danger that was gaining back his power in the underground world. The archmage disappeared and a darkness swept over the world. Human, elves, mages, every creature awaited in fear the day the darkness would take back his control. Faelwen, a young woman, was put in the middle of this chaos. Even though her only priority was to survive. Hunted down by humans and evil beasts, who can she trust? And what whispers from the dark will reveal the secrets from the archmage?
