Semua Bab Second Chance, Too Good to be true: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Lydia had rushed into the kitchen, as she didn't want to go into her room. Khloé was there, and if Khloé saw her cry, she would know. She tried to tell herself that she was a strong woman. Someone who can't be easily affected, but isn't true. She isn't a bold woman. She can be easily affected, so she burst into tears.Marian's words kept hitting her badly that she wished Carson had never told her about his plans to take Khloé to Gary's School. Calling her homeless? This was the worst blow she had received since George abandoned her years ago for some silly reason.Anny walked in with the dishes, “Lydia, please don't take Marian's words to heart. She can be annoying sometimes. Just let it go”Lydia sniffed as she raised her hands from her palms, “Ma'am Anny, I don't know… I think… I think I should leave” her words coming out with hiccups as she was trying to calm herself but nothing was working. Her eyes were glassy, tears stained her face and her nose was red. She just kept on shak

“Attorney! You cannot tell me what to say and not to say!” “I am your lawyer. You have to do as I say. Whatever you say, would be used against you in court. You can't just go about saying what comes to your mind, Mr. Marcus,” Carson yelled. “I am innocent!”“And I know that” Carson barked back. This particular client was the same person he had been discussing his issue with Nick. He cannot understand why this man doesn't want to listen.Of course, Marcus is innocent but his words… His anger is getting the best of him and if he doesn't keep his mouth shut, it might just lead him to eighteen months in prison.They both sat down back on their chairs and they breathed hard. They've been having the argument for the longest time now. The man just keeps letting his anger take over.“Trust me, if you don't keep your anger in check, we'll lose the case and it will be all your fault. I have never lost a case, do not let your case be the first I'll be losing” Carson stood up, and arranged the

“And what?” George asked as he landed her another slap, causing her to fall to the ground. “You think you're smart, I've told you times without number, Lydia. A woman's world is in the bedroom and the kitchen. You don't listen, do you?” Lydia crawled backward as George made his way further towards her. The marks of his fingerprinted clearly on her cheek. Tears continued to roll down her cheeks, “Do you think you can come to my office as you like it, huh?” He barked as he kicked her harshly.“I'm sorry” she murmured softly as she whimpered, but he ignored her apology. “Tell me why you came to my house. Tell me now!” “I… I… wanted to bring… you food”. George held Lydia by the chin and raised her face to look at him, “Really? To give me food…” he pushed her hard, causing her to fall backwards again. He went to squat in front of her, “This should be the last time you'll step your feet in my office, else, you'll eat your own flesh!” ****Knock****Lydia snapped out of her thought,

The moment Lydia stepped into the car, Carson said, “Lydia, I'm not your driver. Come sit at the front”. She wanted to argue, but decided against it. She had actually saved the sit for Marian, but since Carson insisted, she made her way to the front passenger's seat. Immediately, Lydia sat on the chair and began to walk on her seat belt, Carson turned the engine on,“Huh, aren't you waiting for Marian?” She asked and Carson shook his head. “There's no time anymore I have to appear in court by 11 am” Lydia looked at the time, it was 10 am. She watched as Carson drove the car out of the compound, and Marian hasn't still shown up till they disappeared. Lydia shook her head, Marian will be really angry at her. She'll blame her, definitely. When Marian came out of the house, she sighted the car as it moved out of the compound. She saw Lydia sitting comfortably in the front passenger's seat,“Lydia, you think you can sit in the front seat as you like and ask Carson to drive off witho

Lydia let out a chuckle,“Sign the papers, George. That's the only reason I'm here”. “Are you sure?” George asked in a low voice before adding, “With the way you're dressed, I can hardly believe that didn't come for something more. Lydia, I can let all these stay in the dark, you know, we can always forget something like this ever happened”Lydia shook her head as her mind flashed back to what Carson had said earlier. She wonders if the man has the gift of seeing vision. Wanting to see what George had in mind, she asked, “So, what are you insinuating?” “Let's forget the past, tear the divorce paper, tell that fucking lawyer you don't want to go on with that plan anymore and that you have a better one” “Which is?” She asked and George grabbed her by the waist. “That you want to come back to me. That you still love me. Don't you miss how I make you feel in bed, Lydia” he asked and Lydia giggled, “Mr. George Martins,” she called as she gently stepped back from him, taking his han
