Second Chance, Too Good to be true Chapter 54
“He will certainly be disappointed, but who would tell him? I would do everything to make sure he doesn't discover it” Carson said with this certainty in his tone. Ma'am Anny sighed, she knew his Grandpa could investigate and find out nothing was between them, but she couldn't convince him if he had made up his mind. “I'm not certain about your decision and I doubt if Lydia would agree, but how would you know if you don't give it a try” Ma'am, Anny said wisely and smiled at him. Carson found her words encouraging, but there was a part of him that knew he would be rejected by Lydia. “Don't take her rejection to heart, she has been through a lot” Ma'am Anny said with a small smile on her face. Carson nodded, he would never hold anything against Lydia. Carson chuckled a bit to reduce the tension he was feeling. He had never had a problem with asking women out, but he was a whole wreck of nervousness just to ask Lydia. Ma'am Anny patted his shoulder lightly and smiled; “I have to t

After Carson thanked Lydia, she retired to her room, but was unable to sleep. Though she might have accepted Carson's request, she was nowhere comfortable with it. Carson wasn't a bad person, but the thought of even pretending to be in a relationship with him haunted her. The memories of how George made her life miserable, had ruined every thought about a good relationship. She had lost the belief that a loving and perfect relationship could exist. Though they were going to be faking their love as a couple, it didn't make her feel any better. Lydia rolled to the other side of her bed and sighed. She stared at the white ceiling and swallowed hard. “I hope you don't ruin this Lydia,” Lydia said to herself but clicked her tongue. “No, you can't do this,” She grasped her hair and whisper-yelled. She could hardly sleep that night, those thoughts kept burdening her. Morning finally came, it seemed like an endless wait for her. She jumped out of bed when the sun rose and went to freshe

Carson pressed his lips harder on hers, her lips were so soft that he couldn't help kissing her some more. He accidentally bit her bottom lips, and it made her gasp. Lydia felt his tongue slide into her mouth and his taste was amazing, it seemed like grapes mixed with strawberry flavor had entered her mouth. She was shocked by it, but his taste was too intoxicating.Carson twirled his tongue in her mouth, rolling it around her warm tongue. He had kissed a lot of women, but none of them was as sweet as this. Lydia's eyes closed, involuntarily succumbing to the kiss. Amelia's eyes were filled with horror, they were still kissing, and it grew from slow to intense. The humiliation was unbearable. “Stop kissing” Amelia yelled but both of them were too engrossed to even respond. Lydia suddenly realized what she was doing, and her hand clutched onto Carson's arm. She couldn't breathe anymore. “I said stop kissing” Her eyes soaked with tears. She had always liked Carson, but he had neve

Lydia realized that her words were too mean and exaggerated. She slightly saw a strange expression on his face, but it disappeared before she could make out what it was. “Carson, I… I…” Lydia trailed off, not knowing what to say or excuse her behavior. She was simply annoyed about the kiss because it was so unplanned and unexpected. She knew it was a fake relationship, and they should be a little intimate, but not that much. She wasn't emotionally or physically ready for it.Carson inhaled deeply and his expression changed into a cold one. He hadn't had that face for a long while. “Your daughter is at home demanding your presence, you will do a lot of good by coming along with me,” Carson said, coldly. Carson didn't wait for her response but walked to the car. Lydia bit her bottom lips, obviously annoyed by her rash character and words. She had no right to talk to her benefactor in such a manner. Lydia stamped her heels on the floor and a sob escaped her lips. She didn't want w

“You've always suspected that the lawyer wasn't helping your wife for nothing. It has become logical because your wife has no money to pay him, and she's using her body” his lawyer said with a smile on his lips. While smiling, he couldn't help but notice the change of expressions on George's face. He wasn't pleased with the last sentence of the lawyer. Though he didn't have any affection towards Lydia, she was still his wife and he had every right to her body. He was her first and intended to be her last. He had hurt her before, and he was ready to do it again, no other person was entitled to her body apart from him. “I'm sorry sir, I meant that this is really good evidence, and you can accuse her of infidelity, thereby, forfeiting all her claims of domestic and child abuse. The jury will think that she was only using those excuses to be with her lover," his lawyer added but this time without a smile. George nodded slowly, he loved the sound of everything he heard. The only thing

Lydia went to Khloé's room and, coincidentally Ma'am Anny was coming out of the room. Lydia stood outside and waited for her to come out. “Is she asleep?” Lydia questioned in concern. Ma'am Anny shook her head and replied; “She's still worried about Gary and has refused to sleep without hearing more news from you. I was going to meet you, but I presumed that you were taking care of Gary.”Lydia heard her last sentence and sighed, she truly wanted to care for the child, but because of Carson's anger towards her, he stopped her from doing the needful. Ma'am Anny saw how quiet she was, and she perceived that something was wrong between Lydia and Carson. “Lydia, what happened between you and Carson? You know that you can confide in me for whatever bothers you” Ma'am Anny said with a soft smile. Her words made Lydia somehow relieved, but she didn't want to disturb the woman with her problems. Ma'am Anny had always been of help, but wouldn't be able to do much.Carson was angry and des

It was quite an impulsive move, but he couldn't control himself from pressing his lips on hers. Her lips looked so pink and smooth that he only wanted to feel how soft she was again. It was like dipping one's lips in ice cream, cool and sweet, it gave a feeling one derives and relishes. It was the same thing he felt when kissing her lips. It seemed like he was drowning in her tenderness. He sucked her upper lips and then captured the lower part, sucking it gently. Lydia's hands clutched to her sides and she closed her eyes tightly. The way he sucked her lips made her breath shudder, and a wave of pleasure washed through her, but as she tried kissing him back, the memories of what George did to her came into her mind, the beatings, the forced kisses, and the rape. It was haunting her mind so much that the kiss lost its effect on her. She became more uncomfortable by the second that passed. Her hands went to his chest involuntarily, and she pushed him away from her, thereby abruptly

This caused Evelyn to squint her eyes at Lydia. She didn't know what was actually going on, but she could see that Lydia was being serious as she spoke. Lydia didn't mind the look at all, Carson had given her almost the same look after the kiss. One of in-between pity and confusion. Evelyn squinted at her and somehow understood Lydia's plight. She had always ended up heartbroken. “Is he treating you badly?” Evelyn asked with a low tone, a tone that could soothe anyone. Lydia smiled, recalling how good Carson was. “He's more like an angel” Hearing that, Evelyn pushed Lydia with her shoulder. Lydia loved her bubbly personality. “I don't see a problem, darling, since you've shared this little secret with me. To seal our friendship, let's have a toast.”She picked up the glass of her orange juice and raised it. “Don't you want to be friends with me?” Evelyn pouted her lips. “Friends” Lydia quickly picked off her glass and clinked it with Evelyn's. ****Lydia got back home and he

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.

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
