ONE More Time to make it right Chapter 16
Margaret brushed her long blonde hair while sitting at her desk. When she thought about Carson's recent behavior, her eyes got narrow. There was a problem."He's so cold," she said to herself. "It's like he's a different person."A soft knock stopped her in her tracks. "Come in," she said.One of the maids, Clara, came in with new towels. "Hi Miss Margaret, good morning. I hope you had a good night's sleep.She looked at Clara in the mirror. "Clara, you've worked here a long time, right?"Clara nodded and put the towels in order. "Yes, Miss. Almost five years now.""Tell me," Margaret asked as she turned around. "Has Carson always been so... distant?"Clara hesitated, her hands stilling. "Mr. Carson has always been kind, Miss. I'm just a maid, though. "I don't really know him."Margaret's eyes got very dark. "You're not telling the truth." What do you want to hide?"Clara's face turned pale. "Nothing, Miss!" Promise!"Sarah, another maid, rushed in at that very moment. "Clara, Mrs. Ma

Alice woke up feeling sick, which she had been feeling a lot these past few weeks. With a soft grunt, she put her hand on her stomach, which was turning over. Early morning light came in through her small window and gave her simple room a soft glow.She said in a low voice, "Not again," and slowly stood up. When her head started to spin, she took a deep breath to calm down.The knock on the door startled her. "Alice? What are you doing?" It was Clara's voice, and it sounded worried."Yes, I'm awake," Alice answered, though her voice was a little shakey. "I'll be out in a minute."She let out a sigh when she heard Clara's footsteps going away. Her patience was running out. There was a clear problem.Alice's mind was racing as she got ready for the day. She had been having a bad mood for weeks. She first thought it was stress because she knew that sneaking around with Carson while Margaret looked at her suspiciously was enough to make anyone sick. Okay, but now...The thought made her s

Alice didn't remember much about the next few days. Thoughts of the baby growing inside her kept going through her mind like a robot as she did her work. How was she going to tell Carson? Should she really tell him? What would happen to her family and job?Clara saw that she was distracted. She snuck up on Alice one afternoon while they were changing the sheets in the guest rooms. "All right, spill it. What's wrong with you?"A pillowcase was half-on Alice's hands when she stopped moving. "What do you mean?"Clara put her hands on her hips. Alice, don't act stupid around me. Things have been strange about you for weeks. You look pale, are always tired, and I've heard you throwing up in the morning...Alice's heart beat fast. Was she really that clear? "I... I've been feeling a little under the weather," she said in a shaky voice.Suddenly, Clara's eyes got really big. "Oh my God," she said in a low voice. "You're pregnant, aren't you?"Alice's silence told Clara everything she needed

Margaret took Alice to a small living room that wasn't well lit. Like a storm about to break, the air felt thick and tense. She sat down on a soft couch with her hands twitching nervously in her lap. Her heart was racing like a scared rabbit's.Alice thought Margaret's pace in front of her looked like a tiger stalking its prey. She finally stopped and gave Alice a very sharp look."So, Alice," Margaret asked in a fake-sweet voice, "would you mind telling me what you were doing outside of Carson's room at this time?"Alice took a deep breath and quickly thought of a good reason. "Miss Margaret, I was just going around." Making sure everything was okay before going to bed."Margaret's eyes got very dark. "Really?" And does that usually mean staying outside the bedrooms of the family?"She said, "No, Miss," in a voice that was almost a whisper. "I thought I heard a noise, so I was checking to make sure everything was alright."Margaret leaned in close, and Alice could smell her perfume t

Carson stood in front of the mirror and adjusted his tie. There were only a few hours until the yearly charity gala, and he felt like he was going to pass out from all the pressure.He said to himself, "You can do this," but the words didn't mean anything.Someone knocked on his door, sending him flying. "Come in," he said, trying hard to keep his voice steady.In his suit, his father, Mr. MacPherson, walked into the room and looked very good. What are you ready for, son? The future of our family depends on what happens tonight.Carson nodded, but he could feel the familiar knot of worry in his stomach getting tighter. "Yes, father. I get how important it is."There was a strong grip on his shoulder as Mr. MacPherson tapped him. "Well done, man. Keep in mind that the Thompsons will be there. They need to see that this marriage and your engagement to Margaret are the best things that can happen for both of our families.Carson sat on the edge of his bed with his head in his hands as hi

standing outside Carson's office door made Alice's heart race. It felt like her hand was shaking a little as it got ready to knock. Making an effort to calm down, she took a deep breath. The time had come.The deep voice of Carson called out, "Come in," when she finally got through to knock.When Alice walked into the fancy office, she saw Carson seated right facing her. Along with his clean white shirt and blue tie, he sat behind his big oak desk and looked as good as ever. It was like she forgot how to breathe when his ocean-blue eyes met hers.When he said "Alice," he sounded surprised. "Is everything alright?"There was some doubt in her mind, so she only nodded. He pointed to a soft chair across from his desk and told her to sit down. Thoughts of how different their lives were kept coming to her mind as she sat down. For some reason, she was working as a maid,sitting in an office that probably cost more than everything her family owned put together."What can I do for you?" It wa

Carson looked at the door that was shut for a long time after Alice had left. He was having a hard time processing the shocking news she had just given him. Being pregnant. Alice was going to have his child.He asked himself, "What am I going to do?" as he got up and walked back and forth across his office.There was Alice, who was sweet and pretty. The girl who got his heart without trying. He felt warm inside just thinking about her carrying his child. But he also had to take care of his family, do his job, and marry Margaret as planned.Carson went to the window and looked out at the skyline of London, but he didn't really see it. He thought about what his parents expected from him. He had always known that having the name MacPherson meant taking care of things. But for the first time in his life, he wished he was just a normal guy who could do what made him happy.The sound of a knock on the door woke him up. "Come in," he said as he turned away from the window.Elizabeth MacPhers

Alice was very sick when she woke up the next morning. She wasn't sure at first if it was morning sickness or stress from talking to Carson the day before. She quickly went to the bathroom and realized it was most likely both.Alice brushed her teeth and splashed cold water on her face, then looked at herself in the mirror. She had dark bags under her eyes and looked very pale. She told herself in a whisper, "Get yourself together." "You can do this."Alice kept her hand on her still-flat stomach as she put on her maid's outfit. It was hard to believe that she was having a baby inside her. A life that she and Carson had built together. The thought scared and excited her at the same time.Inside the MacPherson house, Alice found it already very busy when she went downstairs. She did her job as usual and tried to keep her head down, but she couldn't help but feel like everyone was watching her and knew her secret."Alice, there you are," Mrs.Mc Pherson said. "Please help me get the dini

"Let the honeymoon begin, Mrs. MacPherson!"They took a taxi to their hotel, which was right on the beach. When they walked into their room, they gasped. It was gorgeous, with a big bed, a balcony overlooking the ocean, and even a little hot tub."Oh, Carson, it's perfect!"

She and Alice's sisters, Emma and Lily, spent many days talking about all the little details. They looked at lots of magazines and websites to get ideas."What kind of flowers do you want, Alice?" Emma asked one day. They were sitting in Alice's living room, surrounded by pictures of different flowers.Alice thought for a moment. "I like roses," she said. "But I also like daisies. They're so happy and bright.""Why not have both?" Lily suggested. "We could have roses for the fancy parts and daisies for the fun parts."Alice smiled. "That's a great idea!

A few days after Alice's rescue, the police were still working hard to understand everything that had happened. They talked to many people and looked at lots of clues. One day, a police officer came to see Alice and Carson at the hospital."Miss Smit," the officer said, "we need to talk to you about something important. We found out that someone else was involved in your kidnapping."Alice sat up in her bed, holding Carson's hand tight. "Who?" she asked.The officer looked serious. "It's Margaret, Mr. MacPherson's ex-fiancée. We have proof that she helped plan your kidnapping with Maxwell."Alice and Carson were shocked. They knew Margaret didn't like Alice, but they never thought she would do something so bad."Are you sure?" Carson asked, his voice shaky.The officer nodded. "Yes, we're sure.

Maxwell paced back and forth in the old warehouse, looking at his watch every few minutes. Alice sat in the corner, tied up, her once-pretty wedding dress now dirty and torn. She watched Maxwell, feeling scared and sad for him, wondering how her friend had become this scary, desperate man.There was a knock at the door. Maxwell's head jerked up, his eyes wide. "Finally," he muttered, hurrying to open it.An old man in priest clothes stood there, looking nervous and confused. "Mr. Johnson? I'm Father Thomas. I got your... strange request."Maxwell pulled the priest inside, quickly closing the door. "Yes, thank you for coming, Father. Like I said, this is a special situation."Father Thomas's eyes got big when he saw the room - the dirty warehouse, the tied-up woman in a wedding dress, the jumpy man who had called him. "Young man, what's going on here?" he asked, his voice shaky."Father, please help me!" Alice cried out. "He took me. He's trying to make me marry him!"The priest steppe
