ONE AND ONLY: A second chance romance story Chapter 31 The twisted past
Gabriel Havels reached the orphanage. He was nervous because whatever the truth was, it would change his life. He saw children playing merrily in the playground and his heart swelled. He walked to the administrative office and before entering he knocked on the grey door. The sister, who was the in charge of this place was setting the book shelf when she heard the knock. She asked him to come inside, politely asking him to sit on the couch. The Mayor noticed that the woman was acting a bit odd, she was nervous. “Hello, Mr. Mayor” she greeted with a smile and set a cup of tea on the table. After passing pleasantries, the mayor wasted no more time and asked her about the reason.The woman for some reason appeared to be guilty. She was not looking him in the eye and have looking at her bookshelf. “I am sorry, Mr. Mayor. There has been some misunderstanding from my part. I mistakenly checked someone else’s record. There is no record for the child you asked for.”He frowned, “What? No recor

Few days later,Gabriel Havels was in his home office, looking at the documents when he heard a knock on the door. He tilted his head and saw Kimberly and Amanda standing by the door. He slight frown marked his face but didn't jump to any conclusion as to why they looked worried and nervous. He closed the file and rose from the chair.He never did family-related conversations in his office which was rather offensive to Kimberly as she thought that the Mayor didn't trust her enough.“There is something we need to talk to you about,” Kimberly said with a smile, glancing at Amanda who stood beside her fidgeting with her fingers.The Mayor nodded and the three headed to the living room down the stairs. The Mayor ignored the whispers of the two women from his behind which was annoying. He didn't like gossiping or talking about anything behind his back.Amanda was not sure if they should talk to her father about the scandal. But he was the only one who could persuade Carson. Kimberly and Am

Raymond Corporation,“What the hell is this?” Georgina yelled with anger marking her beautiful face. She threw the papers in anger in the dustbin and gave Elissa the meanest look she had possessed. “Do you even know your work? Are you really at this position because of your talent?” she mocked, indirectly accusing her of seducing the higher-ups.Elissa clenched her teeth together and kept her anger under control. She couldn't lose her patience. If she did, she would lose the job that she couldn't afford. “Please tell me what you didn't like in my designs. I will correct it accordingly?”“Nothing! I don't like anything.”Elissa had been since the morning and it was her fourth round here. She didn't understand why this woman hated her. She knew Georgina was deliberately doing this but for what, she had no idea.Elissa recreated the designs again and again but Georgina rejected every single one. Elissa was tired and she was testing her patience.“Go and make something that is suitable” G

Amanda didn't expect to bump into someone who knew Elissa, or more so, hated her. She was curious to know why the woman was yelling, expressing her hatred for Elissa. She came here to kill some time at the club and it wasn't a new thing to her. She thought to talk with her, and team up together to ruin Elissa.Amanda didn't know her name Or anything. The woman had wavy hair that was cascading over her shoulders and when she faced her, Amanda had to admit she was really beautiful. Judging by the way she was dressed, she guessed she was rich.“How do you know Elissa?” she asked, now taking interest in her words. Amanda smirked and leaned a little.“She is a bitch who is trying to steal my fiancé,” Amanda said, her expression turning sour. She didn't mention the divorce part, because she felt that wasn't necessary.Georgina's eyes widened in surprise and she blurted, “Oh my, I have the same situation too!” That was surprising for Amanda too. “My God, I can't believe how shameless she is.
ONE AND ONLY: A second chance romance story Chapter 35 An Agreement
Elissa cursed at herself because she was feeling dizzy and her skin felt like it was on fire. She was in front of the room's door, her palm in contact with the door as she tried to keep herself steady. She had no idea where she was, all she could focus on was the irritation of her skin.Carson was here for a meeting and after it was done, he was about to head back to the company, when he spotted someone familiar. His eyes narrowed at the familiar figure that was standing steady, with her back to him. He walked faster and taking the turn, he saw Elissa. Confusion, shock, and worry took place when he saw her there. What was she doing here? He wondered and walked up to her.“Elissa?” he called her name. She looked up, her eyes half open and when she let go of the door, she wobbled and fell in his embrace. Carson caught her and noticed that she was drugged. “Eli, what happened?” he asked, his voice coming urgently.“Hot….I feel hot” she mumbled and snuggled closer to him. His jaw ticked a
ONE AND ONLY: A second chance romance story Chapter 36 His side of Truth
Having left with no other choice, Elissa signed the document and went with Carson to the new house she would live in. She hasn't thought of a proper excuse to tell her daughter and brother about this. There was no way she was going to mention anything about Carson to them.“How long do I need to stay here?” she asked, turning her attention from the road to Carson.Carson, without removing his glasses or turning his head, said, “For as long as I please.” There was a high mocking tone in that. Elissa tried to understand what he was doing. Nothing made sense.“I don't know why you are doing this. It's not like we have slept for the first time” she muttered, looking down at her knotted fingers in her lap.Carson heard her and with a smirk, he replied, “Oh, but this is the first time someone took advantage of me. I can't let this slide that easily. ”Even the thought, this was a little reckless. Carson was worried about her safety. He tried to get people to know what happened to Elissa and

Mayor's Residency,Amanda paced in her room, biting her nail in frustration and anger. Her plan failed. And this was her fault, partially.

Amanda not only lose her money but also her plan failed.Her phone rings and upon checking the name, she doesn't want to pick up. It was Georgina. Yesterday night, they had shared their numbers, hoping to get in touch now that their goal was the same - to ruin Elissa.Rolling her eyes, she picked up her call, and with a fake sweet tone, she said hey.“Hey! Did the plan work or not? Because Elissa is here and she looks perfectly okay” Georgina said from the other line.“It didn't work. The man ran away, said he had something more important to deal with, and left before Elissa went there” Amanda lied.“What? But I thought you took Elissa with you to the room?”“Y
ONE AND ONLY: A second chance romance story Chapter 38 Part ways
Two days later,Elissa was surprised that she and Carson surprisingly went along. It was as if nothing had happened between them, as if they were back to being they used to be when they met. Elissa was surprised by Carson's actions too. She thought he had changed, she thought he had no feelings for her, nothing but in these two days, she wasn't sure if it was true or not. Yesterday, he had made her favorite dishes, and when she accidentally tripped that following night, he took care of her. He was worried, so much that the pain was marked on his face.At work, she found herself thinking about him, thinking what the situation would have been if three years nothing would have happened.

The cold reminder that Amanda was his fiancee made her stop thinking about him.She was in deep confusion about why he divorced her. His affection towards her was there,

“Elissa!”Elissa flinched, coming back to reality after hearing Benjamin's voice. “Yes?” she croaked, positioning herself correctly on the chair.“Are you alright? I called you twice” he said. Elissa nodded, saying she was fine but she wasn't. She was thinking about Carson. She was worried about the company situation. Although she did help him with the design, she still thought it wasn't enough. She had the urge to go and check if he was doing okay but she had been holding herself back. She knew how workaholic Carson was, and he wouldn't rest until and unless the work is over.“Anyways, we have a meeting at ten. You need to be present there as well” Benjamin added.As he was leaving, she asked him about Carson. “Have you heard about Waverlys Group and Co facing a tough time?”Benjamin's left brow rose in curiosity, wondering why she was asking him about it. “Well, yes.

“Mommy, where is Daddy? Why hasn't he come today?” Lia questioned the moment Elissa entered the apartment.“He didn't come?” she asked. “He must be busy with work, sweetheart. Don't worry, he will come some other day” Elissa tried to assure her daughter.“Will he leave us? Will he go to catch fish again?” Lia pouted, making a sad face.“No, of course not. He is only busy with work, love.”“Call him!” Lia demanded. Elissa didn't want to call Carson even if she too wanted to know if he was okay. Elissa refused, making an excuse that she shouldn't disturb Carson but Lia wasn't going to buy that.As they descended to the living room, Elissa gestured to her brother to handle Lia but he shrugged, saying, “She had asked me about for the whole day, eating my brain out. I think you should just ask that lad. Lia will calm down by then.”“Mommy, please! Call him!”“Alright, alright. I'll call him” she agreed at last. Taking out her phone from her purse, she dialed his number and waited for him t

Haven't I? If you dare pull and tricks again, I will never forgive you. I have warned you, haven't I?” Benjamin glared at her. He looked scary for the first time since Georgina had been with him.She gulped, flinching by his words. “You lied to me, Gina! Not only to me but also my parents!”“What lie?” asked Harold.“She is not pregnant! She was never pregnant, Dad.”Harold's and Diane's faces formed in the shape of an O. This was shocking. Georgina panicked. Everything was going to end. What should she do? She thought to herself. She knew she couldn't deny it b

Elissa watched Carson play with Lia. She had wondered if he would be a loving father when they were planning for a baby, and it made her smile that he actually loves Lia more than she thought.Elissa also wondered why he hadn't come to her apartment for three days. He always popped in her apartment with a stupid smile but when he didn't came the past three days, she thought that he might have given up or that something might have happened back in home or the company. Her daughter kept on asking about Carson all day but she doesn't even know why he didn't came. She resisted calling him. She didn't want to show she wanted him there, that she cared about his presence.Elissa didn't realize that Carson was looking at her as well, a smile playing on his lips. She blushed and averted her gaze towards somewhere. There was a problem with Benjamin going on as well, and she had assumed it was most likely Georgina.“Hi” Carson breathed in her ear, making her jump on her place. Seeing her horrifi

When Elissa went to notify Benjamin about her work, she noticed he was tense. His forehead was creased and he was in deep thought that he didn't realise she had come in. “Excuse me, sir.”Benjamin blinked, coming back to reality. “Oh, yes, well, what were you saying?” he asked, turning on his laptop.Elissa gave him the pen drive in which her presentation was saved. “The work is done. If you can check it and let me know if there are any flaws, I will correct it before tomorrow.”“Yes, sure. I'll let you know in an hour” he said, his eyes narrowed at the laptop screen.Elissa was telling herself that she should mind her own business, but she couldn't stop her mouth. “Is everything alright, sir?” she blurted.Benjamin looked at her and she saw something was bothering him. He was fighting whether he should tell her anything or not. “Some personal issues. Nothing serious” he assured her with a tight smile. Elissa knew he had lied but she did not press more. She took her leave, closing the

She was overthinking about encountering Georgina again.She doesn't want any rivalry. Yesterday, she gave her answer to Benjamin about joining back again, and he was elated. She hasn't told this to Carson, because why should she? She wasn't answerable to him in any sort of way.When she entered the workspace, all the employees had their eyes on her. Elissa felt awkward and smiled at them tightly.

After Lia's surgery, Carson was visiting her more and more. Elissa was annoyed but at the same time she was happy to see her daughter glowing.“Look, I have you the permission to see her, but that does not mean you will come to live here” Elissa said. He was playing with Lia in the small living room and Elissa had asked him to follow her to the kitchen leaving Lia with Jonathan who was as annoyed as her.“You don't like me here?” the question made her gape. Was she not clear enough that day?“Yes, I don't, Carson. I don't think you should give Lia hopes that you will always be here, taking care of her and all. There is no chance–”“I was not bluffing about what I said on that day. I meant every word. I will always take care of both of you. Even if you don't like me - which is a lie - I am not letting go of my daughter or you. I have made that mistake before, I don't want to again.”Elissa knew she couldn't agree with him about this, so let it go and sighed. “Fine. Whatever. Buf you ar
