After preparing dinner for herself and Dylan an hour ago, Madison was now looking at the clock. She had been staring at the Italian dishes on the dining table for so long while she waited for him to arrive that they had become cold. Candlelight cast shadows that highlighted the vacant chair that was directly across from Madison."Already it's seven o'clock. Where are you at this moment?" As Madison sulked and laid her head down on the table in exasperation, she asked the question. She grumbled, almost as if she wished Dylan to hear that he was being an annoyance to her "You said you'll come over... You have given me reason to believe that we will see you here tonight..."Dylan called Madison yesterday and informed her that he would be going directly to the flat later that evening. Due to the fact that he had been so preoccupied as of late, he had not been seen in the flat for the past two days. Madison was fully aware that the love of her life was weighed down by an excessive number o
She ignored the rumbling of her stomach and continued to stare angrily at the ceiling of her bedroom while she lay in bed. A thought occurred to Madison's mind a couple of minutes after the clock struck twelve."I really need to get out of this apartment and do something to relax. Regardless, I'll spend the entire day here by myself "She mumbled something and then covered her face with the blanket since she was unsure about the notion. She came to the conclusion that it would make her feel better and help pass the time, so she agreed with her mind and got out of bed to take a shower not long after that.After getting ready, Madison eventually left Dylan's place in order to relax and take some time for herself. A stroll to the nearest shopping area would take no more than twenty minutes from the unit. She was going somewhere else when she came across a packed park, so she decided to detour there for a moment.Madison was brought back to her own family as she watched other children havi
Dylan was aware that Madison had to have had some lonely mornings and nights while spending time in his apartment. Dylan felt a sharp pain in his chest every time he thought about how badly he wanted to be with her all day, holding her hand, kissing her lips, and snuggling up with her. But, he could only flee to safety in Madison's arms and return home while Hades' guards were absent from the area. Now that Hades had finally removed the audio recording device that he was using to listen in on Dylan and Suzette's conversation, the two were free to speak their minds without fear of being overheard. However, throughout the entire day, Hades' eyes followed Dylan and Suzette about like they were making sure that neither the groom nor the bride would try to escape.Dylan was getting assistance from a private detective, but it did not make him feel any more relieved. The wedding was supposed to take place in a few days' time. Both he and Suzette anticipated that the subsequent days, includin
Armand and Laurene finished talking to Suzette's parents early. Dylan was in a great mood, thinking of how he could openly and freely show his love for Madison after getting out of this situation with the help of Suzette. Dylan smiled at Suzette, his ally, and saw Laurene stand up from her seat."Heh, are you happy because soon, you can be with your darling without any hindrance?" Suzette whispered teasingly to Dylan, making the latter's smile widen."Shhhh, keep it down," Dylan playfully scolded her but added, "If your Dad hears you, it would be difficult for the both of us." Suzette nodded, raised her hand, and zipped her mouth. The two couldn't help but laugh as they looked at each other. However, when their parents glanced at them with curiosity with a hint of teasing in their eyes, Suzette just smiled at them goofily and shook her head. Dylan looked accusingly at Suzette as if telling her it was her fault for misleading their parents."I'm sorry," Suzette laughingly said, trying
The day that Dylan was most anxiously anticipating had finally arrived. While he was sitting on his bed and looked at the tuxedo that had been prepared for his wedding later that day, he couldn't help but feel annoyed. The one and only strategy he had conceived of the night before, the only strategy that could assist him in preventing this wedding, was now rendered ineffective due to the fact that he was suddenly unable to get in touch with Suzette's boyfriend. How incredibly foolish of him to think that everything was going according to plan."What should I do at this point?" Dylan questioned himself while looking at the tuxedo in a bewildered manner. Even though he desperately wanted to be with Madison, he couldn't bring himself to do so since he couldn't bear to see his father suffer in prison after having abandoned him for the sake of his own happiness. Now, he was in a position where he had to make a decision between Madison and his father. Why was it necessary for him to go thro
"Mr. Welch, I'm sorry to break it to you, but that won't be happening. Following my consultation with our attorney, he advised me that the validity of your contract cannot be upheld because your father was under the influence of alcohol when he signed it. Hence, you are unable to bring a legal action against your father "Dylan made a very convincing rebuttal. After some time had passed with no response from Hades, Dylan looked to Suzette for an answer.Suzette gave him the answer he was looking for when he asked, "Do you want this wedding to continue, Suzette?" by shaking her head. Dylan then proceeded as he faced Hades and said, "See, Mr. Welch? Your daughter is in agreement with you that she does not want this marriage to go place. You are going against her will by imposing this on her.""Because we've already spent a significant amount of money on the preparations for this wedding, we have no choice but to go ahead with it. You and your partner are going to have to go through with
Madison was attempting to bring order to the chaos in her mind as she sat on the bamboo chair and stared blankly at the ripples in the water near the lake. Even though it had been a few days since she had left Dylan's place, she continued to feel both upset and perplexed. She was conscious of the fact that she shouldn't have left on an impulse, but the sight of Dylan and Suzette spending time together made her feel resentful and caused her grief. Although though Madison had complete faith in Dylan and loved him very much, it would be a very other experience for her to see him content with someone else. It felt as though someone had repeatedly stabbed her in the chest, and the pain was excruciating.Madison was momentarily distracted from her thoughts when she heard a soft voice say, "Honey," coming from behind her. She swiftly turned around, greeted Ruth with a grin, and started heading in Ruth's direction."Mother, what brings you here today?" Madison inquired while her attention was
After three years ...The day Madison had been waiting for had finally come. The four years she had worked for finally paid off. And Madison would dedicate all of these to her mother for her unwavering love as she was always there after her father left them.Currently, Madison was on the stage as she accepted her college diploma. She smiled with happy tears in the corner of her eyes and waved it in the direction where she saw Ruth and her sisters sitting. Even if she was a bit sad because her most beloved man was not present, it was okay because she understood him. Since Dylan officially became the CEO of their company, he was always busy because having that position meant a heavier responsibility. Nonetheless, there was never a day that he didn't take the time to call and talk to her.Ever since Dylan's proposal, her sisters and Ruth had also moved to Manila. At first, Ruth did not want to leave Norville Town. She only agreed after Madison and her sisters convinced her and explained
It was a lovely event of their lives that most people important to their lives attended.Paris became the witness to the renewal of the vows of Stanley and Maxine a year later.They chose the five-star hotel to be more convenient for the family Maxine grew up with. The acclaimed mother sewed her wedding gown which was adored by everyone. Maxine was happy to be with the same family she loved, the real parents and the people who raised and cared for her.The love of the bride and groom can be seen in the way they look at each other and in the vows they make before God.Despite the many trials they have gone through and will yet go through, they are confident they can overcome them all because the Lord was with them. They visit the couple Leo and Isabel. Leo was happy because she knew that her best friend, the woman who had become important in her life, was happy.He’s hoping that hopefully, like the two of them, Leo and Isabel will also have a happy ending, something that seems vague y
While they were riding in the car, Maxine remembered the tragedy that happened to her. It was a nightmare for them. She thought that night was her end. She thought she would never see them again.She took a deep sigh and looked outside and she realized if that happened again, she would do the same. She will still save him. She was her twin and I loved her after all, despite their differences.She survived and she still had a chance to fix the mess with her siblings. She closed her eyes and was determined to make sure they got along. 'I am lucky because I have a sister, a twin.' her mind kept telling this sentence."We're here!" Stanley said with an energetic tone. "You're thinking too deeply, maybe I'm drowning in your mind," he winked once."Duh! Shut up." But he pulled her close to him."I love you. Thank you, Honey, you didn't leave us. Thank you because I still have a chance to be with you, to wake up every morning next to you, to hug and kiss you, and to grow old with you ." She
It's been three weeks. Maureen knows everyone hates her, and she hates herself, too.She just wasted her life. She made her own life complicated, full of hatred, instead of being thankful because as Maxine said, Maureen was blessed because she was with her parents while Maxine lived far away from them.Maureen knows she's been so bad. Something had to happen for her to wake up to the truth. She should have realized that her life was good.Maureen already has the things she should have valued long ago . Her relationship with Stanley ended because of her selfish dreams of popularity. She chooses that over her husband and daughter and now no matter what she does, She can’t get them back anymore.Her mother and father have forgiven her because that's how their parents really are. No matter how much she had done with them, still Maureen was their daughter and they loved her. Maureen was blessed with kind and loving parents that she didn’t even appreciate. She's been an ungrateful wretch,
Stanley and Mauren were outside the house where Maureen had taken the children. They've been warned not to do anything that may harm anything to all of them. So now, they're waiting for the cops to give a signal.They were anxious as they observed the house. All they wanted was to get Heather and Elaine."Hon, I hope we can get our children," Stanley remarked as he held Maxine's hands."Don't worry, Hon. Just trust Him and pray. Lord will not leave us," Maxine said and smiled a little.Stanley moved his hand to his wife's face, saying, "No matter what happens, take care of our child and always remember that I love you and our family very much."Maxine frowned at what she had heard and said, "Don't say that, Hon. Both of us will take care of our children, okay? Nothing bad will happen. Just have faith."Then Stanley gave Maxine a soft kiss.On the other hand, Leo was with them while Isabel stayed at home to look after Elija.After a short observation, a woman named Ava captured their a
After Maxine and Maureen's conversation, everything was chaotic at Stanley's house. They hadn't slept yet because they were waiting for updates regarding the children, and no one knew where Maureen had taken the two.Maxine couldn't do anything but cry and continued to pray for the children's safety."No, Max. I will not allow you to meet Maureen alone," Stanley argued with Maxine."But Stanley, it's what she wants, and there is nothing we can do but follow," Maxine bravely remarked. "Perhaps something horrible will happen to our children if we don't follow her," she added."No, you won't go there. We never know what might happen. We don't know what Maureen's plan is, and I can't let you put yourself in a situation where you will be hurt," Stanley worriedly said as he hugged his wife.While the couple was hugging, the policeman interjected, saying, "You don't have to worry, sir. We will do everything just to keep your family safe."On the other hand, in the room where Maureen left Ela
Maxine was dumbfounded at a loss, still wondering who her twin was because Tania didn't seem to want to tell her. Then, a few moments later, Maxine and Stanley said goodbye to go home immediately after receiving a call from Stacy informing them that Elaine wouldn't stop crying. Before leaving, Maxine said she would come back to the hospital the following day to visit again. Still, Diego informed her that Tania may be discharged once she was feeling better. Maxine just nodded and then left with Stanley. After a moment, Stanley drove quietly. But a few moments later, Maxine broke the silence. "Hon, do you know who my twin is? Do you have any idea about her?" she inquired. Stanley stopped abruptly, appearing astonished by Maxine's query. Maxine gave Stanley a stern look because of his behavior. She was confused. "I'm nervous, Hon. That something might suddenly change between us when you find out who your twin is, and I don't want that to happen. So, I want you to promise that you
They were siblings. No. They were twins! That thought never left Maureen's thoughts. It was not by any chance or coincidence that they looked the same!"We're fucking twins!" Maureen's anger now was overflowing.The person who made her life miserable and the person who stole the man she loved were the same person. She took it all from her. It's payback time.Maureen confronted her parents. "When are you going to tell me that Maxine is my twin?"She threw the DNA result in front of them."Aren't you happy at all? We finally found your twin sister. Why are you so angry?" Diego was confused now why Maureen was so angry."Should I, Dad? She stole Stanley and my daughter away from me! That woman got everything that should be mine!""Maxine isn't taking anything from you. You left your family so why would you blame her for everything? She took care of the family you abandoned," Diego corrected what Maureen was implementing."See? She even stole your trust from me! You're on her side right n
Maureen didn't see Stanley for weeks now. She couldn't get close to their house, especially since his mother was there. They didn't like her but she didn't care at all.It all started when Maxine came into the picture. Maureen really hated her. She thought that Maxine stole what was supposed to be hers. She was always at Stanley's office but even his shadow was not there. She was wondering what made him that busy.She was about to go downstairs when she noticed that people were going up with the helpers.She rolled her eyes when she saw her parents. She didn't know where they were and also she didn't care too."Maureen, your Daddy and I have good news for you," Tania said and she was smiling widely."And what could that be after you've been gone for weeks?" Maureen snorted out."We've already found your sister!"Maureen was dumbfounded. She couldn't utter a word for a couple of seconds. "R-Really? So your dearest child is still alive! I thought she drowned and was eaten by a shark."M
When destiny intruded, everything would fall into place. Maxine was so thankful that God grant the desire of her heart. They were now a complete family. Stanley was with them now with their twins.Maxine wasn't worrying anymore that her twins would grow up without a father."I love you," Stanley whispered just enough for Maxine to hear. He was now falling asleep.There was no room for Maxine's happiness. She couldn't imagine living her life without him. She was looking at the love of her life. She couldn't help but smile at the sound of his sleep.She couldn't blame him because he said he had a lot of sleepless nights thinking about where she was and her babies. If he didn't love her, why would he bother to look for them? It was the effort and concern that matters, and of course, the reason behind it was love, a pure and unending love."Love, it's impolite to stare at someone that was sleeping," Stanley murmured while his eyes were still closed. "Especially a hot topless man like me."
