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
Maxine woke up in a place she was familiar with. Everything she could see was white, the ceiling, the wall, and even the bed. It was like a deja vu for her. It seemed that it had already happened. She looked around and hoped that she could see her handsome angel again, but this time he didn’t appear. She waited for Stanley to appear, but he didn’t. She wondered where she was and suddenly remembered she was with Stacey at the mall the day before. She felt dizzy and her world turned black. When she looked out the window, the sun has risen, so she panicked. She thought of how long she has been there lying and sleeping. “‘Where am I?” she voiced, and maybe the nurse who just came in heard her. "You’re in the hospital. Please calm down, Ma'am," the nurse said. "Hey, nurse! Is this a hospital? And what is your name?" Maxine asked again."I’m Nurse Catherine, Ma'am. My friend told me that you were brought here yesterday unconscious. It’s her off today, so she asked me to take care of you,"
Luckily Maxine was fine and safe now. It took him a lot of patience to keep his sanity intact despite all the chaos that happened. And now they were sleeping next to each other with her head resting on his chest. Stanley gazed lovingly at his wife and smiled contently. Using his thumb, he caressed the side of her face, mesmerizing by her eccentric beauty. He was one lucky bastard for having such a wonderful woman in this crazy world, he thought. He was taking his time gazing at her when suddenly memories from the incident came rushing like waterfalls. He loved her so much that it hurts. He would not let it happen; not under his watch again. With that in mind, Stanley pulled her closer to him before dropping a gentle kiss against her forehead. "Love you, honey," Maxine murmured in her sleep. "I love you more, baby." He cupped her chin and gave her a quick smooch. As he was about to deepen the kiss, a loud knock abruptly came. He groaned inwardly as his eyes shifted to the door. Hone
Velma was back with vengeance! The stickybeak was missing in action for a while until she decided to plot her great come back for real. Sure, she'd been absent in their lives for a certain time, but still, Stanley had always been under her watch. She was hardly informed of the rift in their marriage since time immemorial and had wicked innuendos about his failed relationship with Maureen which she believed was good riddance. Velma would never forget that once upon a time they were good friends with benefits that's why her love for him grew and matured as the years passed by. Yes, she was once an old flame, yet she reckoned the label no longer fit her anymore. She's confident she was more than that and could offer more special favors to him. So today marked the perfect moment to rekindle the fire between them. She was hopeful that they could push their lusty link to the next level; to own and keep him close forever. Oh, she'd been dying to meet Stanley in full flesh again! It had been
Surprised was an understatement, shocked it was. Maxine was not ready for his abrupt presence, she could only bite her inner cheek. She wondered how long he was watching them and the very thought brought chills down her spine. "Stanley. . . why are you here?" "I've been looking for you for a while. This town is too small not to find you." His stern gaze was on Leo. "Why are you doing this? I told you not to follow me, right?" Stanley gritted his teeth. "I'm worried sick, so I'm here to fetch you."There was a short pause; they just exchanged heavy glances with each other. But when Maxine was about to speak again her best bud abruptly butted in. "Fancy meeting you here, man. By the way, I'm Leo Gomez, your wife's friend." The guy held out his hand to him but Stanley didn't accept it. And instead he took Maxine's hand before pinning her beside him. "Stanley Robbins, I'm her husband. I wonder why Maxine never mentioned you to me," then he swiftly stared at his wife. "I see. I'm n
Maxine could no longer stay mad with her husband because he was thoughtful. She could not resist his handsome face. And also, Maxine loved him, so she believed in him. She thought she had so many rivals with her husband. In her mind, how many more women like Maureen and Velma would try to ruin their relationship? But one thing was for sure, Stanley loved her so much… only her.When they arrived home after Stanley picked up Maxine in her best friend’s place, Heater ran towards her and hugged her tightly. "Mommy!" she exclaimed. The child was excited to see her. "Baby, why are your eyes like that? They are red. What happened? Did you cry?” she worriedly asked while holding Heather's face. Maxine already knew her child cried, but she wanted to know the reason behind it. "Yes, Mommy, I cried. I thought you left us again,” she said, almost crying again. Maxine could not help but feel sorry about it. Heather was so fragile."Daddy is bad, Mommy! You will leave us because he had another c
Maxine woke up early to prepare food for her husband and to take care of Heather because she would have her lesson with Isabel later. Today, Stanley was going to work because he hadn't been in his office for a long time due to the conflict that had happened. After they ate breakfast, Stanley had already taken his bath, and now, Maxine was adjusting his necktie."Behave, Daddy, huh? No more girls, please," Maxine said while fixing his tie."I always behave, honey. Those women were the ones to approach me," he said arrogantly."oh, wow! That’s great, Stanley," Maxine sarcastically said while her hands were on her waist."It was just a joke, Honey. You know you're the only one I love," he said to calm his wife."Even if I will get fat?" she asked. “I look older, too, maybe because I'm pregnant,” she added."Honey, I still love you even if you're as fat as the whale," he replied to her first question. He was teasing his wife, too. He could see that she was slowly turning red because o
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."
