That time it made her laugh, but thefe was a swell in her heart when she thought about it..At that time, she heard the door clicked open and Carson came in. She rose from the couch and when her eyes

It was around ten in the night when Elissa went to Carson's farmhouse. She stayed at the hospital with Lia all day, taking care of her and her needs. Lia was doing okay however, she was still weak. She would doze off every few hours in between talking. The doctor has said that the surgery was needed to perform soon, within the end of this month which was the exact time their contract would expire.Elissa clicked open the front door and went in. She strolled inside the house, going to the living room where there was no one. She thought he would be in his room. She ambled towards his room where the lights were dim. She almost gasped when she saw a figure sitting on a chair nearby the window. She turned on the lights and frowned at Carson who was busy having his red wine.Almost lazily, he averted his gaze at Elissa, and a ghost of a smile formed on his face. “You are late.”“Two minutes delay, Carson. Spare me” she rolled her eyes. She then looked at him, wondering if something was wron
ONE AND ONLY: A second chance romance story Chapter 54 Forced Invitation
[It happened hours ago before Carson went to meet with Elissa at night]Carson had thought this over and over and if he wanted to reveal the truth, he would have to do this.

Amanda was on cloud nine because it was the first time Carson has initiated to call her.He went in and saw Amanda coming down the stairs. Her eyes shone when she noticed him coming inside. Amanda wore a tight bodice dress that was bringing out her curves smoothly. Carson paid no attention to that. Amanda came up to him and hugged him. Carson tensed but controlled himself not to push her back. He let her hug him. Untangling herself from Carson, Amanda asked, “Is everything alright? You wanted to meet....it was so sudden I forgot to inform Mom and Dad.”Carson put up a fake smile and caressed her cheek. Amanda blushed because whatever was happening was too unexpected. “Actually,
ONE AND ONLY: A second chance romance story Chapter 55 The day of the Wedding
Today was the day. The day when Carson was going to marry Amanda. No matter how many times she told herself that it wouldn't bother her, she failed to keep that. Her heart felt heavy thinking about Carson. He would be someone else's husband today, and then she would have to let go of him completely.Elissa took deep breaths while looking at herself in the mirror. She was wearing the dress that Carson sent her, for the maid of honor. It was a beautiful lavender color maxi dress with lace short sleeves. The dress was pretty but she hated it anyway. She looked amazing in that dress which was more annoying. Since she had to reach there at the given time, she hurried to do her makeup. She kept it minimal, as she always does, and made her hair into a low mermaid bun. While she was fidgeting, her cellphone started to ring. It was her brother Jonathan. She hasn't told him anything and she wasn't intending to tell him either. She cleared her throat and picked up the call.“Eli, where are you?
ONE AND ONLY: A second chance romance story Chapter 56 The Truth
It was time for the wedding ceremony. As the maid of honor, Elissa was standing there, beside her place of Amanda. Carson was standing opposite her, and she was aware of his eyes on her. It made her uncomfortable. Elissa was looking towards the door, waiting for the bride to enter. A minute later, Amanda along with the Mayor made her entrance through the front. Amanda was looking beautiful in a princess off-shoulder white wedding dress. She blushed as she glanced at Carson standing in front of her but then when she noticed Elissa there, her smile turned into a scowl. But she didn't let that bother her. Carson has assured her Elissa was nothing to him. The Mayor helped Amanda and led her to the stage. Amanda gave Elissa a mean look before turning to face Carson with a happy face. She was on cloud nine because it was still unbelievable that she was finally going to marry Carson.The priest started with the vows, first going to ask Amanda. “Amanda Therese Hayes, do you take Carson Grace

“Carson, please don't do this!” Amanda came up to him, shedding tears and making her look like the innocent one. “We-we have our wedding today.”Carson grinded his teeth, scowling at her. “Haven't I made myself clear a while ago? I would never marry you, Amanda Hayes!”“But you said you love me! You said you are over Elissa. You promised to marry me!” she sobbed, feeling pain in her chest.Carson scoffed devilishly. “Oh, poor Amanda. You believed whatever I fed you? Let me tell you, it was all a lie. I don't love you, I never did. And about Elissa” he glanced in Elissa's direction who was still shaken by the truth. “I was never over her. I still love her, and I always will. You get that?”Carson tricked her. Hearing from his mouth that he doesn't love her was utterly painful but at the same time, she was furious because Elissa was involved. Why? Why was he still hung up on her? Amanda thought it was Elissa's fault. In a fit of anger, she stormed towards Elissa, grumbling as she grabbe

“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.

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

Raymond Company,Elissa was nervous as she walked inside the Raymond company building. She felt as if it was her first day. It sure was. 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. She made her way towards the CEO room, knocking on the door first before entering.When Benjamin had said to come in, she pushed the open inside and went in.

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
