She felt a lot of different emotions, mostly anger was the main one. She bawled her hands into fists when she recalled Hayden's rejection and what had transpired that fateful day.
She was filled with rage but yet felt saddened by the bitter truth that Hayden was in love with his late wife.
A woman who looked exactly like Elizabeth but yet ended up being her long lost twin sister.
Her mother had been keeping such a big secret from her for so many years and now her sister was gone. And she never got to know her well or form a sisterly bond for years; she has always been lonely and wanted a sibling.

She didn't know that the operation had damaged her mother's womb and she lost the chance to be ever a mother again.
Now all the years were wasted alone.
She clung to her jacket and held it tightly as she shivered from the cold weather.
She ended up coming to the park in order to clear her thoughts.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAuD0Q7npwT5
Elizabeth sat down on the park bench with tears streaming down her cheeks. Silent sobs escaped her lips someone hands her a handkerchief she angrily tossed it away without looking at the person.
89Please respect copyright.PENANARCPYwfXj36
"Lizzy..." A voice whispers behind her. And when she turned she was stunned to see Hayden standing in front of her.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAWnsU4ZrsWf
Did he come to humiliate her even more?
No she couldn't handle his cruel rejection again besides he had kicked her out of his life.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAzX1yc24vOU
She didn't mean anything to him.

FLASHBACK
89Please respect copyright.PENANAXf6KGCS3XT
89Please respect copyright.PENANADNyPDfwJSQ
Ever since I caught Elizabeth snooping in my house I kicked her out.
I couldn't bear another loss again.
I cleaned the broken photo frame glasses but my thoughts always went back to Elizabeth.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA7kXC7RKB6o
The most haunting moment in my entire life was the look she gave me when I told her to get out of the house.
She was simply devastated.
I hated seeing her like that but yet my mind didn't want me to admit what I truly felt inside for her.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA4zQE2wTul2
My heart knew the answer.
But I always asked myself one question.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAjvgAdPb10W
Was attracted to Elizabeth because she looked like Azalea?
89Please respect copyright.PENANAKMw58mY3eJ
Or I was attracted to her for who she was?
89Please respect copyright.PENANA3cGl0E8D6V
It always brought me back to the first day I saw checking me out on the window.
She might not know it but I saw her that day and the day I bumped into her.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAVcGRPs2l8E
How she made me feel. I was speechless around her but I always tried to show my cool and annoy her.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAd5JYIBQ0Vm
She's like a firecracker.
She's ready to explode anytime.
And I believe we met for a reason and I mean why this town of all places?
89Please respect copyright.PENANAmamsY3T3Qo
It wasn't just a coincidence I don't believe that.
89Please respect copyright.PENANARo7CY3sj9i
I remember the way her hand felt in mine when I asked to dance with me. How her lips felt damn good on mine.
89Please respect copyright.PENANABoNjcWcVvN
I can't describe that feeling in words.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAs5n0bPuRW2
Or the time I rescued her from those monsters who almost rapped her. How I carried her lifeless cold body in my arms.
Gosh that day I thought I had lost her forever and that would have been all my fault because I stupidly conspired against her with Crystal.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAa6AbCs5MY8
I still regret that day and the decision I made.
89Please respect copyright.PENANArBtshrrB1f
Elizabeth is very dear to my heart. I know every little detail about her.
Her smile always hits me in the knees and makes me weak.
It took three weeks for me to realize that I loved Elizabeth genuinely and I needed to win her back. Mom was right it was time to put the past behind me and focus on the people in front of me.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAmKyZvnjFx7
If Sage was here she would have rubbed it in myself.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAaFE65p0WI9
When I went to her room she wasn't around. I had used the window to let myself in. To clear my negative thoughts I decided to take a walk and that's when I saw her.
She was sitting on the bench in the park.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA1gGMw1Lmiy
This was my chance to finally talk to her and not chicken out just because of my inner demons that tormented me.
89Please respect copyright.PENANARECPqZCY8z
I began walking towards her.

"Lizzy..." Hayden whispers.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAtddsMN2MiG
Elizabeth glared at him and got up to leave and walked past him.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAsDGmVnfznK
"Hey wait!" He yelled while following her. He grabbed her wrist and stopped her.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAeElw6GAtqN
"Please look at me..." He pleaded.
Elizabeth looked at him with a puzzled look.
89Please respect copyright.PENANARRCCAV5Duo
And Hayden continued talking.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAdtx8Ar6mBm
"I know you're hurting believe me so am I I'm so sorry-"
89Please respect copyright.PENANAHQdRuXklwo
Elizabeth frowned.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAzCUk8PFyZP
"Last time I checked you didn't want to see my face so what changed?" She demanded angrily.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAxh6iPJC17H
Hayden sighs deeply and shakes his head.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAxsfBqY1Ci4
"It's complicated but listen to me..." He pleaded once more. She walks away from him and wipes her tears with the back of her hand.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA2PbCZFAzLE
Hayden follows her and stops her yet again.
89Please respect copyright.PENANApe1UEvNlAr
"Yes you were right I'm a coward" he admits bodly.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAPlhWNIm92b
Elizabeth crosses her arms over her chest cocking a questioning eyebrow at him.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAkTutIfbo0X
Hayden smiled and took her by surprise and pulled her into his arms. She began struggling in his arms.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAmOBJMWbX8q
"Stop it! Lizzy yells angrily. He silences her by placing his lips on hers and she struggles to push him away.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAr8Ht5wilZd
Azalea's eyes faded when she saw Hayden with another woman in his arms something inside her shattered even if she wasn't supposed to feel anything for him.
She turned her heel and left somehow it hurt seeing him with someone else she was confused.
89Please respect copyright.PENANApppkQSRTUd
Hayden had betrayed her so quickly without glancing back it's only been four years and she is surprised that he has moved on so fast.
89Please respect copyright.PENANANl9N7Dqwcx
Hayden pulls back regaining his breath and he releases Elizabeth. She stared at him and blushed.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA500WPJE9mY
"So you're gonna start ignoring me?" She asked in a whisper.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAsY5MMSTQbi
He shook his head negatively.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAwbNQ109RVf
"I won't ever ignore you Elizabeth" he mutters sternly.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAyU5atUaPGY
"Pinky promise right?" She pressed innocently and Hayden chuckled lightly.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAxe4IWMxqL8
"Yes I promise come on let's go."
89Please respect copyright.PENANA7zbPX2VEQC
And they held hands. Elizabeth blushes.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAJLh4LAnVVY
"So are we a couple now?" She asked shyly and Hayden nodes in response making Elizabeth giggle.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2ty5AoroO
"What changed your mind?" I thought you were still in love with my sister."
89Please respect copyright.PENANAM9RDPlB50t
He sighs quitely.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAS8RR2bsiBB
" It's hard Elizabeth because your sister Azalea meant everything to me but fate separated us and fate brought you to me.
When I met you for the first time I developed feelings for you. Even though I didn't want to admit my true feelings I knew the answer and I realized that I love you Lizzy."
89Please respect copyright.PENANAvLytkULDZA
Elizabeth wiped her tears away.
89Please respect copyright.PENANANhKing6jU5
" I feel the same way I just don't want to take Azalea's place in your life and heart. I just want a normal relationship and be happy with my boyfriend nothing more. I just want to see where this relationship will take both of us Hayden. I don't want to pressure you into anything."
89Please respect copyright.PENANANtpxx8I4vD
He nodded quietly.
89Please respect copyright.PENANASBepw77FAQ
" What about Dylan?" Hayden asked curiously. Elizabeth burst out laughing.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAfDDFCH8k8m
"Oh you're afraid of him?" She demands and Hayden shakes his head negatively.
89Please respect copyright.PENANATd17yo1g8Z
" No of course not he might be tough and look scary but I am not scared of him plus I have super strength I can easily take him down."
89Please respect copyright.PENANAn1rQtC74ba
Lizzh giggles and drags him away while rolling her eyes.
