Maxine was overjoyed when Stacey, her husband's sister, accepted her as a member of the family once they married. She counted herself lucky because they were kind to her and accepted the bond between them.Maxine felt more regret that they hadn't gone to her hometown than she did about their trip to the Maldives, which was supposed to be a holiday but didn't go according to plan. She was already homesick for both her mother and father, in addition to her other siblings.Despite the fact that they were not Maxine's family, Maxine never experienced any feelings of alienation from them. They showed her the same amount of love and care as if she were their own child.When they took her in as their own, she was just four years old. She was quite innocent and easily hurt. It just so happened that Maxine's stepfather's brother saw her when they were out on the boat. They had traveled from a variety of islands to deliver the vegetables at that time, and they claimed that they did not know whi
As Stanley had hired a bodyguard to accompany Maxine and Heather to school, he did not have any concerns about their well-being as he dropped them off there. He was at a loss for ideas of what Maureen could achieve at this point. He couldn't be certain of the thoughts that were going through her head, especially those that may put his family in danger. He could not continue to put himself in danger.Stanley found it hard to comprehend that Maureen had become so different. She changed into a different person and turned bad in his eyes as a result of this transformation. He was at a loss to understand why his ex-wife would suddenly alter after they were divorced. She was the first one to depart, and she did so because she want some space from them. And now that he and his daughter were happy, now that they had already accepted the fact that she wouldn't come back into their lives anymore, she would go back as if nothing had happened and would cause difficulties. This time, Stanley could
Maxine was livid as hell! Her chest was burning with thick animosity; she could not contain the jealousy crushing her from muscles to bones. It was overwhelming, and if given a chance, she would love to wring Stanley's neck and slap the shit out of him. She felt the hot tears seeping through the corners of her eyes as he tried to calm her down. How could this jerk act so sweet after that unforgiving scene she just witnessed? The nerve! She reckoned she's an empath and also knows when to promote altruism. However, it just happened to be the hubristic witch, Maureen. She hurled his arms away, peeling them off her body, and Stanley had no choice but to let her go.In quick, numbered strides, Maxine trudged to the king-size bed, plopped against the crisp white sheets, and curled up into a fetal position. And as she closed her eyes, annoying thoughts whirled up at the back of her mind. Was she informed beforehand that they were coming into his office today? Was it always like that whenever
Maxine opened her eyes only to be greeted by her hubby's gorgeous face. Stanley was still asleep, his mouth slightly agape, whereas his hair was a bit messy. She wondered how he managed to look incredibly sexy even in his sleep. Jeez, where is justice here?!She traced her finger across the bridge of his well-sculpted nose and smiled contentedly. He was one of the lucky guys who was gifted with an aristocratic nose; too sharp it could cut. Then she planted smooth, velvety kisses onto his large palm and kissed his fingers one by one. Giggling, she closed her eyes and went on. She was too busy to even notice that Stanley was already awake."Good morning, honey," he rasped, making her eyes flick open."Good morning, too, mister." Maxine sweetly swept her lips on his, sending waves of sensation all over his body. "Come here," Stanley gently pulled her by the small of her waist, and she abruptly pinched his cheeks. He could only groan inwardly."Why are you so handsome in the morning, hm
Stanley raked his fingers against his hair before blowing a large breath. Then he looked at the worried face of his wife and held onto her hands."Something came up," he squeezed his eyes shut, then opened them again."What about?""Our daughter. She's… she's missing." The nervousness in his voice was evident, which made her panic, too."How did that happen? That international school has tight security alongside her bodyguards, so why?" Her throat became dry; the corner of her eyes sharply stung.They walked hand in hand, heading to the parkway. Soon, they went in the car; Stanley buckled her seat belt up and sped off as if fucking demons were after them. Seconds passed when he spoke again, telling her to calm down. The last thing he wanted was to bring a threat to the baby's health."I'll send you home first before going to school," he informed, stepping on the gas impatiently."No, Stanley, I'm coming with you," Maxine reprimanded, determined."But it's dangerous, Maxine." He starte
Maureen was enjoying her beverage of choice while savoring the peace and quiet of the park in which she was seated. In spite of the fact that the sun was shining and the atmosphere was calm, she couldn't help but clench her teeth because of Maxine. She was verbally and mentally abusing herself in every way she could think of. "If it weren't for that whore, Stanley would still love me," she said, referring to Stanley's ex-girlfriend.At first, Maureen believed that there was a significant possibility that she would be able to win back her ex-husband because of Heather. She was confident that in the event that Heather expressed a desire to reunite with her biological mother, Stanley would have no other option but to separate from Maxine. If he had to choose between his daughter and her, he would go with his own daughter every time. On the other hand, nothing worked out the way she had planned. She was kicked out, so she cursed, "They deserve to go to hell!" (They deserved to be kicked o
Stanley was in his study, looking at a new proposal from a new client. While reading, he suddenly wondered what Maxine and Heather were doing. So, he walked toward Heather's room and saw his daughter soundly asleep. A smile glimpsed on his lips. Since Maxine wasn't there, he thought she might be in their bedroom. Upon approaching their room, he suddenly heard her loud, angry voice talking to someone on her phone.Stanley could only think of one person who could upset his wife,—Maureen. He rushed to enter and grabbed the phone from her in anger."Don't you dare do anything, Maureen. You try to hurt my wife; I won't hesitate to put you in jail." After Stanley placed the phone angrily, he embraced Maxine."I'm sorry, Hon. Whatever she said to you, ignore it. I won't let anything happen to you," he thoughtfully said as he brushed Maxine's hair."I'm not afraid of her, Hon. I just don't want her to come near Heather. She's too crazy," Maxine said and looked at Stanley.Stanley exhaled firs
Maxine was not afraid of what Maureen would do next, but she was frustrated because she still interfered with their lives. Unfortunately, because of what happened, Heather had to quit regular school and continue her studies at home. Heather’s mother, Maxine, was affected by what happened, so Grace, her teacher, had to go to their mansion to teach her some lessons. At first, the child was confused, but they didn’t have a hard time explaining things to her because she was clever."Baby, I’m sorry because you have to study at home," Maxine said. She felt sorry for her daughter."It's not your fault, Mommy," she replied. You could see the sadness in her eyes, too. "It's only temporary, baby. Promise you'll go back to school again," her mommy explained as she touched Heather's face. "It's okay, Mom. Dont' worry about it, Daddy said it wasn't good for you and baby." Maxine’s heart melted with what the child said. ‘It was a good thing that she did not get her mother’s attitude,’ she thoug
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."
