Second Chance, Too Good to be true Chapter 37
When Lydia got into Rw, she met with the receptionist. The building alone got Lydia anxious. She trusted Carson, but she wondered what the CEO would say about her when he found out that her name was on the blacklist. She cannot be employed. Still, she pushed herself to the receptionist's desk, “Hello, Good Morning. I am Lydia Darling. I have an interview with the CEO of RW Enterprise”“Sorry, an interview, you said?” The receptionist asked, confused. The CEO isn't the one who interviews, so she was surprised. “Yes, the CEO. You can call him to inform him that Lydia Darling is here” Lydia replied confidently.“I'll do just that” the receptionist replied as she picked up her phone to make a call. When she was done with the call, she said, “I'm so sorry for the delay, ma'am. This way, please” The receptionist left her desk to take Lydia to the CEO's office immediately.Lydia was shocked at the change of attitude. The lady practically took Lydia to the CEO's floor, where she met with

Lydia couldn't wait to get home before she related the news to Carson, so instead she made her way to his office. Getting into the large building, she asked the lady behind the table that she wanted to see Attorney Carson “Do you have an appointment with him?” “Actually, not really. I just had something really important to tell him” Lydia explained, but the woman shook her head. “I'm sorry, ma. Or else you have an appointment with him, you cannot see him. Mr. Carson is a very busy man. You can't just see him whenever you like” Lydia pressed her lips together because she knew what the lady was saying was true to certain people, but not to her. She was a special one. Carson had always given her his time. Mostly at night whenever everyone else was asleep.“Can you just tell him that Lydia is here to see him?” She asked and the lady frowned“You don't seem to get it. I don't care who you are, Mr. Carson is unavailable. He will not attend to you, even if he slept with you just a night

“So how did it go?” Carson asked Lydia the moment they both got into the office. Lydia looked around the place as she was directed by Carson to sit on the couch. “It was a bit strange… I mean, he didn't even do a proper interview” Carson let out a small chuckle when he heard what Lydia said. “That's good” he smiled. All he has to do now is to keep to the end of his own deal, since his grandfather has done his. “The letter to meet in court has been sent to George, our first hearing would be five days from now. I hope you are ready?” Carson asked Lydia as he placed a glass in front of her before pouring a drink inside. “Well… I'm not doing the talking, Mr. Carson. You are… so are you ready?” Lydia asked back, making Carson chuckle. “I've never been this ready” he replied, making Lydia smile. She picked up her glass and had a sip from it. “But are you ready to face George? You know what I always say, having confidence is winning half the case” “I am. I'm ready to face him and w

After dropping Lydia off at the school, Carson made his way to see a certain someone. He knew if he didn't, Lydia might get fired before she even resumed, and that would make her really sad and look down on herself again. Since he had been spending time with the girl, he became open to her. He didn't like to see her cry or sad. It irritated him, so he planned to do whatever he could to make sure she didn't cry, especially because of a job again.Carson made his way into the gigantic house, it's been a long time since he stepped foot into this house. He lets Gary come here as much as he likes, but not him. He stopped coming to the house when he had a very serious argument with his father, which has not been resolved to date.“Mr. Carson” a lady bowed when she saw who had stepped into the house. The shock was evident in her voice as she said, “Good afternoon sir” “Hm, Good afternoon. Is my grandfather in?” “Huh, yes sir. Yes sir” she repeated twice. “Tell him I am here” he stated,

Carson stared at his grandpa and was so confused. He has never been more confused. 'If I tell him she is just a client, Grandpa that I know will never let it be just that. And I can't just say she is a friend, I mean what kind of friend will make me strike a deal with him? Not just a friend, a female friend at that'"Well, she's just a client" Grandpa Walters burst into laughter. "Carson, wait a minute. Do you think I am a child, I gave birth to your father in case you have forgotten". Grandpa Walters said with a hint of mockery. He knows Carson like he knew the back of his hand. Carson would never do this much for just a client. In fact, aside from winning the clients case, there was nothing more he does with any client."I am not lying to you Grandpa, I know you are never gonna believe me, but you need to believe me on this one. Lydia is just a client that really needs help with a Job, and I am doing this for her because it's surely going to help my case in court Grandpa". Carson

On Carson's way home, what his grandfather said kept troubling him, so he decided to give his best friend a call. Nick was the only one he could speak to right now. The man might have the best idea to give to him.“Damn it” he spat out as he reasoned, if he had known, he wouldn't have made the deal in the first place. At first, he suspected it was about marriage, but his grandfather had taken it to another level by giving him a time frame. He surely would have to think twice before giving his grandfather a call“Hey man, I really need your help. I am losing my mind, we need to see, Nick” Carson rushed his words in a worried tone that caused Nick to pause his steps. “What could make the almighty Barr. Carson Walters worried?” Nick asked with Surprise, making Carson roll his eyes. He was definitely not mighty, alright.“I'm in need of a wife before the end of the year, Nick. I have to be someone's husband and someone has to be my wife. And I don't have a say in it. So, I need you to c

He believes there is no way out for Carson on this one.He wondered why Carson didn't want to get married and how long he planning to continue like this.

He has tried talking to Carson Calmly, he even helped get Carson on different blind dates but he seems not to be serious with any of them.If not that he heard the news of how he met with women, he would have thought Carson is gay. This is not difficult to believe but then, he always had his cock in one girl or the other. He wasn't just ready to settle. But he will nowGrandpa Walters wants to believe he was left with no choice but to take this drastic decision. He was looking forward to a day like this when h

Lydia woke up very early, she couldn't even sleep very well because she was so happy to resume her new job. Suddenly, her mind drifted to how she has been struggling to look for a job for a long time and how George has made her name circled around different companies blacklisted. She was so happy with the way her life was going. She now has her peace. Her daughter was with her, not just with her but also in school.

The next morning, Lydia woke up by Carson's side. She had a beautiful and joyful smile on her lips. Waking up by his side was the most amazing thing ever, and the scent of cologne was still on him. She brought her nose close to his chest and nuzzled him. Lydia grinned and raised her hand, she stared at the beautiful ring. “My name is Mrs. Lydia Walters' Lydia chuckled and kissed her ring. “It's so beautiful.” She was still staring at her ring when she suddenly had the urge to vomit, she touched her stomach as it churned. “Did I eat something wrong yesterday? Lydia pouted her lips. The nauseating feeling stopped for a while, but then the bile rushed up her throat and she couldn't keep it in. She rushed out of the bed and threw up into the sink. The sounds of vomiting woke Carson up. He wanted to sleep back but realized something was wrong with his wife. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. He asked her, worriedly. “Love, are you alright?” He still heard her throwing up and had to

All Lydia's troubles were over the moment George died. Lydia watched all her problems disappear, she was finally free to be happy with the man she loved. That was supposed to be the happiest day of her life, but presently staring at the mirror and seeing how beautiful she was in that wedding dress. It became one of the happiest days of her life. Two weeks had passed since George's death, he wasn't the only one paying for his crimes because Alma was facing the penalty for her actions, her father, Felix, had been disqualified from the election and would be spending some good time in prison. Marian, who had been long forgotten, was finally sentenced to prison. It seemed like all her enemies had disappeared. Lydia smiled at the mirror and spun around, she looked like the most beautiful bride ever. She didn't have a veil, but it didn't make the dress less beautiful. “Lydia, you're so gorgeous” Mrs. Isobel gushed over her wedding dress. Lydia couldn't help but be grateful to Mrs. Isob

Carson turned back with a little smile on his lips, his threats had worked. He wasn't planning on doing any of those things he said, but he decided to act as one of the bad guys. One can't stick to a technique and tactic all the time. Carson returned to his seat and called a prison warder inside to listen to what he had said. Carson also brought out his phone and decided to make a recording. “Can you repeat what you had said?” Carson requested. The man sighed and said everything that had transpired between him and Alma. Carson was delighted and left from there as the warder was taken away. He was going to face his penalty. Carson contacted the police to visit George's house where Alma stayed and also to arrest Felix in his house. Carson planned on also releasing the recording through his Father's connections. It would be anonymous and would ruin Felix's chances of becoming the governor. Carson was excited about his plans but would execute them after they were both arrested fo

George had killed a man, strangled him during the traffic, and taken his cab as a means of transportation. Presently, he walked to Mrs. Isobel's limp body and carried her into the back seat of the cab. He closed the door and entered the front seat. He wasn't ready to drive her anywhere in particular, he would make sure that he was far from a place where the cops could find him. He would question her in the car, but he had to wait till she awakened. He had planned to lie to Alma that he couldn't stand the boredom and had to leave the cabin. Anyway, she believed every lie he spoke.George drove for a long while before parking near a certain roadside, he waited till she awakened, which happened a few minutes after the drive. “Hm,” Mrs. Isobel moaned in pain. She felt a pounding pain in the back of her head, her hand reached for it and there was a little bloodstain. “Oh my God” She cried and slowly sat up, her blurry eyes cleared little by little. “Who are you?” Mrs. Isobel asked i

“Why are you smirking? Do you find the situation amusing or what?” Alma frowned at him. “I'm sorry, but I've thought about my decision, and I'm ready to accept your suggestion for plastic surgery,” George stuttered.Alma screamed excitedly and hugged him tightly.“That's the spirit, I'm so glad that you have thought more carefully about my proposal. I promise you that once you do this surgery and probably practice how to change other things about yourself. Everything would be great” Alma giggled. “The cops would be off your back and the both of us can travel the world after our wedding.” George rolled his eyes but faked a laugh. “I won't do the surgery now, give me some time to have my face then after a few days from now, I can do the surgery” George smiled and pushed her away from him. “I'm so happy” Alma clapped excitedly and tilted her head from side to side like a child. “I'm not too happy about losing my handsome face, but it's worth the change,” George said and acted like

“No, I'm not interested in altering my appearance” George disagreed firmly. “Why? It's a suitable option for you never to be found, why would you lose such a chance, just to stay locked up in this wretched cabin” Alma argued with him. “I'm not interested in continuing the conversation, I won't change my appearance to fort anything in this world. The best thing I love seeing when I look at my reflection in the mirror is my face and nothing more” George said and turned his face away from her. Alma gasped and was offended by his selfishness. “I want you to have a free life, we can fake your death that you were found and killed. It would make a lot of sense when I start dating the new you. Why are you acting so selfishly towards me?” Alma said, her voice cracking at the end of her statement. “I'm not being selfish but standing by my own rules. I get that you went the extra mile to bring me out of jail, but that doesn't give you the right to order me around” George frowned. Alma gasp

“What did you just say?” Lydia panicked and sprang up. That news was so unexpected and shocking, she never expected to hear that the man who had ruined her life was out of prison, free to do the unimaginable. “How did he come out of prison? What exactly happened?” Evelyn asked, worried over the safety of Lydia. Carson shook his head. “I still don't know, but I'm going to that fucking prison to find out.” “How can he escape in just a week of being there? Many people have spent a decade trying to escape prison but haven't been able to, how can he make it seem so easy?” Evelyn asked questions that couldn't be answered by any of them. “The kids, we left the kids alone,” Lydia said agitated, and tried running out of the church. Carson held her back and pulled her into a hug. She was anxious, and her breathing had fastened like she was on the verge of having a panic attack. “There's nothing to be scared about, the children are secured, but George can be capricious. I'll make sure th

The kids were done with their exams, and they were at home. It was the weekend, Saturday specifically, and Lydia stayed at home. The kids weren't easy to control at all, Lydia realized how much they refused to listen to her. They listened more to Mrs. Isobel. This made Lydia a bit jealous and angry. She had to give Mrs. Isobel some hours off so that she could take care of the kids herself. “Both of you, sit down!” Lydia instructed and pointed at the couch. Gary and Khloé went to have a sit, seeing that their mother was more serious than ever. “It's not good to prove stubborn towards your parents, it causes sadness. Do you want Mommy to be sad?” Lydia pouted at her lips after speaking. They both shook their heads. “Alright, since you don't want me to be sad, then listen,” Lydia said. “It's truly depressing when I keep talking and you both keep disrespecting me by not listening!” “What are you supposed to do?” Lydia asked, looking angry, though she wasn't so angry. She simply w

The man walked to the witness box, he was accompanied by the cops. Carson never stopped investigating the people who had kidnapped Lydia. He was doing it in secret and working with the cops, the camera on the street was able to capture the plate number of the car. Though the car was dumped, they were able to trace the source and one of the kidnappers was caught, the only problem was his refusal to tell the truth. After the torture and promising his family protection from any harm, he confessed to the person who hired him but failed to mention George's name. Carson was displeased by the outcome of the investigation because he was sure that George had kidnapped Lydia. The kidnapper had only led them to another one in his team, that one was an easy nut to crack. He confessed, and his boss was arrested. He thought it would be easy to come out, but Carson proved him wrong, he thwarted any hope he had to escape prison. He finally agreed to a shorter sentence and in exchange, he would
