“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

“I can even ask the doctor who did the test results if you still have doubts,” Carson said. He had gone to the doctor the day before yesterday. He managed to get a strand of Amanda's hair and Luke's since he had long hair that was demurely coiled at the nape of his neck.There was no lie for her to tell. Kimberly lost the game she once mastered in. Her chin trembled as he glared at Carson. She stormed towards and stood in front. “Why are you doing this, huh? Just why?” Kimberly somehow knew the answer however, she wasn't sure if by any chance she did something to him or any of his family members.“Because it is necessary. Because you tried to kill my woman. Because you are a criminal.”“No! I am not a criminal!” Kimberly shouted.“Why did you try to kill Elissa?” he asked, narrowing his eyes at her. Carson knew Kimberly wouldn't say anything. He knew the reason and it was so shocking, he couldn't believe it for a day.Carson nudged Luke to say further, blurt out whatever truth he knew
ONE AND ONLY: A second chance romance story Chapter 59 Cannot forgive you
Carson sighed, disappointment and hurt marking his face. Elissa didn't know if she should slap him or laugh at him. He didn't even try to talk to her. He simply faked that he 'betrayed' her even though he didn't want to initially. But he betrayed her, hurt her every time he got it.“Elissa…..I request you to stay here. You are my daughter and you have every right to stay here” the Mayor said gently.“No. I will not stay here. Do you even know what kind of hardships I went through in all those years? My foster parents were ill. They hardly could buy medicines with the money they earned. I have a brother….. Even though he is not my real brother, he never made me feel like I am an outsider. I don't care that you are my biological father. My foster parents sheltered me and raised me, not you.”Her words cut deep. “Please…I only have you, Elissa. Please forgive me” the Mayor begged, his body shaking with emotions. The Mayor was always uptight but this was the first time Kimberly and Amanda

She breathed a nervous laugh and shook her head. “Of course not, sweetheart. Why will Mommy cry?”“Then why are your eyes red?” Lia asked, not quite believing her mother's words.“Oh, that. Actually, there is so much dust outside and maybe that got stuck in my eyes. It is not serious, sweetie” Elissa assured her with her smile.“Okay. Mommy, is your work done?”“Yes. Now, I will spend all my time with my little princess!”Lia giggled and embraced Elissa, kissing her on her cheek. Elissa's heart swelled, at the same time the emotions she had bottled inside her, started to suffocate
