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.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAXtHIWCQIAw
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.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA12UJBCezDQ
"Lizzy..." A voice whispers behind her. And when she turned she was stunned to see Hayden standing in front of her.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAhM7YnRVKGq
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.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAKrTyGx7m7v
She didn't mean anything to him.

FLASHBACK
86Please respect copyright.PENANA1JjBFIhc7j
86Please respect copyright.PENANAUTxy8nVVVU
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.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAVCVzzRaG5W
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.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAT4TydymnQb
My heart knew the answer.
But I always asked myself one question.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAjE5tvt1Syw
Was attracted to Elizabeth because she looked like Azalea?
86Please respect copyright.PENANAUlopfH35Nh
Or I was attracted to her for who she was?
86Please respect copyright.PENANATJIxFnbyGj
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.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAttcHkIHQab
How she made me feel. I was speechless around her but I always tried to show my cool and annoy her.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA1nw3uLp029
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?
86Please respect copyright.PENANA8VPVZAsrad
It wasn't just a coincidence I don't believe that.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAQUnsHt8C4f
I remember the way her hand felt in mine when I asked to dance with me. How her lips felt damn good on mine.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAzScfzs477I
I can't describe that feeling in words.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAa7IeHzTnau
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.
86Please respect copyright.PENANARcCo6cCGLa
I still regret that day and the decision I made.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAOdqJM8i0pC
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.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAQMffY2thK6
If Sage was here she would have rubbed it in myself.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAfdqJUsX3Vv
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.
86Please respect copyright.PENANArF1OQ7NPO1
This was my chance to finally talk to her and not chicken out just because of my inner demons that tormented me.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAnHqgpWii5m
I began walking towards her.

"Lizzy..." Hayden whispers.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAM1X23RWcRH
Elizabeth glared at him and got up to leave and walked past him.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA5DZu9fmImD
"Hey wait!" He yelled while following her. He grabbed her wrist and stopped her.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAPlI4lm5tLZ
"Please look at me..." He pleaded.
Elizabeth looked at him with a puzzled look.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA0CJoEoew44
And Hayden continued talking.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAj506Spyzku
"I know you're hurting believe me so am I I'm so sorry-"
86Please respect copyright.PENANA6P5cq2YYgL
Elizabeth frowned.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA91wrkOKLdl
"Last time I checked you didn't want to see my face so what changed?" She demanded angrily.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAF2caykKQA7
Hayden sighs deeply and shakes his head.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAeWd9i4SVmE
"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.
86Please respect copyright.PENANATGR5S4QpGS
Hayden follows her and stops her yet again.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA0FPNqKxX3c
"Yes you were right I'm a coward" he admits bodly.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAGaIPgfXM2y
Elizabeth crosses her arms over her chest cocking a questioning eyebrow at him.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAzqxwnaah1Q
Hayden smiled and took her by surprise and pulled her into his arms. She began struggling in his arms.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA8WUrjWWJYM
"Stop it! Lizzy yells angrily. He silences her by placing his lips on hers and she struggles to push him away.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAxbUCQA22ta
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.
86Please respect copyright.PENANARFZvGj6bhF
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.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAkdE0q0QOGW
Hayden pulls back regaining his breath and he releases Elizabeth. She stared at him and blushed.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAi4TUcmbsRD
"So you're gonna start ignoring me?" She asked in a whisper.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAwTcRauQc8r
He shook his head negatively.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA3c8Gbohlis
"I won't ever ignore you Elizabeth" he mutters sternly.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAYOkFmAuaoi
"Pinky promise right?" She pressed innocently and Hayden chuckled lightly.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA6bSgWW9iNv
"Yes I promise come on let's go."
86Please respect copyright.PENANAJsLf11woLk
And they held hands. Elizabeth blushes.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAq3RitcXX0A
"So are we a couple now?" She asked shyly and Hayden nodes in response making Elizabeth giggle.
86Please respect copyright.PENANArmctDH7uSD
"What changed your mind?" I thought you were still in love with my sister."
86Please respect copyright.PENANAoso2dMg0M3
He sighs quitely.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA1vcmrzLQYt
" 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."
86Please respect copyright.PENANAit7oGw5rZl
Elizabeth wiped her tears away.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAWim9ZbfbQ1
" 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."
86Please respect copyright.PENANALif5R2C17z
He nodded quietly.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA04Ymfma2vt
" What about Dylan?" Hayden asked curiously. Elizabeth burst out laughing.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAJAOywkTpUM
"Oh you're afraid of him?" She demands and Hayden shakes his head negatively.
86Please respect copyright.PENANANCYv5FHKia
" 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."
86Please respect copyright.PENANArlKnYahpzi
Lizzh giggles and drags him away while rolling her eyes.
