He was Leo Gomez, Maxine’s childhood best friend. They were so close that they could tell their deepest secrets to one another. They knew everything about each other except the fact that Leo was in love with Maxine. He loved her more than just a friend but didn’t bother to confess it because their friendship was way more important. He was really stupid if he would confess because he might lose her. Their friendship was important, so he never tried to cross the line between them and ruin what they had. And Leo was glad that he saw her happy. When he paid a visit yesterday at Maxine’s house he finally saw the woman he would fall in love with. He was glad destiny had given him a chance to meet her. He believed in love at first sight, so he wanted to claim the woman as his. Her name was Isabel Morgan, a school teacher. She was the teacher of Heather, Stanley’s daughter. He didn’t want to miss the chance, so he asked her best friend to help him make a move. Maxine told him that Isabel’s
Maxine was home with Heather still anxious about what happened earlier. She's planning to talk to her. Good thing Lisa and Stacy weren't there, they went somewhere upstate. She scolded her nanny as she was not keeping an eye on Heather properly. “How could they let the child see everything? Please Yolly. Do better!” She told her.“Hopefully this goes well.” She told herself. She came by close to Heather. She asked Yolly to leave the premises. She started to discuss something."Baby, Heather. I was gonna ask you something.” She told her.“What is it, Mommy? Uhm. You look weird. Did I do something?” She asked in such an immediate tone. Heather seems to be very curious about what’s bugging her.“Uhm. Calm down first will you, baby? It’s just…” Maxine hesitated.“It’s just?” Heather spoke to her. “It’s just Mommy was planning to leave. Though, I couldn’t bring you or daddy. Also, this is a secret we need to keep ourselves,” she told her."Why, Mommy? Where are you going? Baby's check-up
The sun was just about to rise when Stanley woke up. Beside him was Maxine, who was soundly sleeping. He gently moved her hair as he thought, ‘Don’t worry, Hon. Maureen can’t separate us. Although we will be temporarily apart because of her threat, I will make sure to find a way to get Maureen out of our lives. So, our family can finally live in peace.’A morning moan sounded from Maxine as her eyes slowly opened. “Good morning, Hon,” she smiled. Looking at her sweet smile, Stanley knew he would miss it once she left.“Good morning, Hon.” Stanley embraced her and closed his eyes.“You sure miss me already, huh? You’re hugging me too tight. I can’t breathe.” Maxine tapped his back as she teased.“Please, take care of yourself. Call when anything happens. We have a private plane. I can go there anytime.” Eager to protect her, Stanley emphasized.“Of course. I’ll be fine.” Maxine then suspiciously narrowed her eyes and sat up on the bed. “You are the one who should take care. If I find o
Once Maxine and Nurse Bea arrived in Toronto, Grandpa George picked them up and drove themto the rest house. On their way, Grandpa George asked, “How are you, Maxine?”“I’m fine, Dad. Thank you. I’m sorry for the trouble,” she answered, embarrassed.“You are my son’s wife, Maxine. No need to be shy,” he assured her while he stepped on thegas.They had a safe and fun trip on the road as Maxine appreciated the scenery. From time totime, they would also converse. Maxine then looked at her nurse, “Thank you, Bea, for agreeing to be my personal nurse.”She smiled with excitement. “Oh, Ma’am! I’m more grateful to you. I get to have a freevacation while my salary gets higher.” Maxine then knew that Stanley had done that.“Please call me Maxine. Besides, I think we’ll be friends since we’re going to stay togetherfor a while.”“Okay, Maxine...” she replied. Nurse Bea seemed jolly and expressive.After the long ride, they arrived at the rest house. It was grand, full of well-cared plants m
The days passed quickly. She had been away from them for two months. They couldn't visit her. She sighed because of the sadness she felt right now. And she seemed confused about why Maureen was always at home.She's trying to get back to their lives. She seems to be nice. For real or maybe just pretending? She misses them so much, but she can't do anything.They call her, but she feels different. It seems that she's not content whenever they had a phone call. She really wanted to get out but she knew she would have a hard time. Her baby was seven months old. She was thankful that Nurse Bea was with her, and she didn't feel too alone."Hello?" she was confused while answering the phone call, it was not registered on her phone. Her heart beats so fast. She didn't know who it was."Hey?" A man answered her and Maxine immediately recognized him."You're a monkey! Are you still alive?" She responded in an exciting tone She knew who it was . It was her best friend Leo."Did you miss me?" he
She is choking back tears as she looks at him. Her eyes betrayed a mixture of bewilderment and anguish. One of the things that he tried to hide from himself was the fact that she was crying. Because her tears only come out when she is either joyful or in pain, he considered each one of them to be as valuable as a pearl. This is because it demonstrates that her tears are an indicator of her emotional state. Yet at this very moment, she was inconsolable because she was in so much pain."But how was it that I was able to harm her?""You said you love me. I had the impression that it was just me?" The flood of her tears did not stop."I adore you, my dear. I love you so much "He made an attempt to give her a hug, but she resisted and pushed him away."Stanley, I adore you with all of my heart. So this is what you have planned for me, is it?" He is to blame for her pain because he is the one who caused it. Because it affected him so much to watch a loved one go through suffering, he felt a
Maureen had a strange feeling that told her to go home, so Stacy didn't think twice about letting her. They both enjoy each other's company, and she also went shopping for her beloved husband and adorable daughter. She made a promise to herself that no one would ever take them away from her again.The last thing Maureen wanted was for Maxine to return and ruin her life once more. She just had Stanley and Heather; if they were gone, her existence would be meaningless; before they came into her life, she had only herself, after her family had abandoned her. So she resolved not to abandon the family she had made.Maureen's eyelids fluttered and her eyes looked into space as memories from her past flashed through her mind...When Maureen went on vacation with her family eighteen years ago, they stayed in their vacation cottage in Toronto near a beach, which was also one of the places she did not want to return to. Although she had little recollection of her upbringing owing to her resentm
Jen was Heather's teacher; she had a beautiful face and sleek body type that society admired. Leo even remarked that seeing her for the first time was like seeing an angel for the first time. She just had this innocent face that made everyone stare back at her in admiration.She was currently watching Leo from afar, conversing on the phone with Maxine after he excused himself. She knew they were best friends and had a terrific relationship. She could see him smiling, signaling that they were having a pleasant conversation, which made her wonder what they were discussing. Leo was a serious type of person, and it was hard to make him laugh, but Maxine made it too easy. She was delighted to see him happy instead of getting jealous. She pondered how it felt to have the friendship they have; it would be such a relief to know that you had someone to confide in all your thoughts and troubles since you know it would be safe.Jen's smile grew, even more, when Leo's smile transformed into a sco
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."
