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
They were gone that fast. But there was nothing that Maxine and Heather could do right now. They couldn't handle the situation. Even Stanley didn't had any idea how to managed Maureen and her attitude.If only Maureen was a good person, she and Maxine would definitely became best friends. But the latter doubt that it would be possible. Because Maureen thought that they were in a competition and that she was an opponent, an enemy that needed to be taken down."Mommy, please convince Daddy that I'll just stay here with you," Heather said, full of hope in her eyes. She really wanted to stay with Maxine."Baby, you know that you can't, don't you? The evil fairy godmother will keep her eyes on us," Maxine said while combing Heather's hair using her bare hand. Stanley was just beside her."No, Mommy. There are three of us. You, me, and our little one inside your tummy." Heather then caressed Maxine's stomach."Oh, how about me?" Stanley asked and made face as if he was badly hurt."And you
Karen's house was fixed in just a jiffy. Everything would fall into pieces like what you wanted to be for rich people. Just a couple of days, the house that seemed to be a haunted house was now fully-furnished and looked like it was a brand new house.Though for Maxine it was kind of weird because she really thought she saw that house. It was too familiar. She couldn't just remember where she saw it.Maxine was preoccupied with Karen's presence which was why her mood was lifted. She was taking care of her like she was her daughter. She was taking care of everything and Maxine didn't have anything to do."Dear, Maxine, have a snack," Karen called out."I'm not hungry. It's like my baby was not craving any food now. And also I might get fat. I don't want to lose my fitness," Maxine told her while showing her body."You little naughty woman? You should always eat. You're not just eating for yourself but also for your baby," Karen reprimanded her."I'm really not hungry, Auntie Karen," Ma
Days passed by, Maxine and Edward became close to each other. She was always hanging up with them. They were just talking about random things and she was happy whenever she was with them.Maxine even baked a cake for them as gratitude for treating her well. She was about to leave with the cake when opening her social media account came to her mind. She thought of saying hello to her friends. Multiple notifications popped up as she opened her mobile. There were lots of messages too.But there was only one message that caught her attention. It was from an unknown account. But she decided to open it regardless of her doubtful feelings.She almost dropped the cake when she saw a bunch of pictures sent to her. It was the man in the picture who made her tears start to fall.It was Stanley.He left just a couple of days and now he was with someone else. Not just that. He was also kissing her. Yes, he was with Maureen. There was a photo that they were hugging intimately. There was also a phot
Stanley had a migraine when he awoke in the middle of the day. Also, he had no recollection of what happened at his friend's birthday celebration the night before.He wasn't drinking alcohol, so he couldn't recall getting intoxicated. He was reminiscing about what had happened the night before when he felt someone move next to him. Just now did he realize that the bed he was lying on was not his own bed, that he had no clothing on, and that only a blanket covered his body."Good morning, Sweetheart." When Stanley heard a familiar voice, he immediately sprang out of bed and grabbed the blanket to cover himself."Maureen, what the hell are you doing here?!" Stanley queried in shock while the woman just laughed at the man's reaction.After a few seconds, Maureen stopped laughing. "Don't you dare tell me, Sweetheart, that you have forgotten what happened last night?" the woman asked, smiling. "You are still good in bed," she added."What are you talking about?!" What Maureen said startled
For the last two weeks, Maxine had not heard anything from her loved ones who had been left behind. She was hurt when Stanley cheated on her, and she was hurt even more because despite everything that happened between the two of them, she couldn't deny that she still loved the man and that she missed Heather too.After remembering Heather, she immediately dialed the number at their home so she could say hello to the child, at least for a moment.After a few rings from the other line, someone suddenly spoke with a small voice. It was Heather."Hello?" Heather responded on the other line.Before responding, Maxine heard the child's frail voice. So she asked, “Baby? How are you? Are you doing well?”After those few phrases, tears that were ready to start flowing earlier from Maxine's eyes quickly started to fall."Mommy! Is that you?! I miss you, Mommy! Please, come back," Heather said, who was also sobbing like Maxine."Shh, baby. Don't cry, please. You know that I hate it when you cry,
Stanley was exhausted when he arrived home because Maureen had taken him everywhere. He couldn't do anything since the photos the woman kept were being used to blackmail him.When Stanley entered the house, he saw Heather in the living room playing with her dolls. When she sensed his presence, the kid turned to look at him, and he was about to come closer to his daughter. Heather quickly ran towards the back of the couch and hid, as if she was afraid of her because he had yelled at his daughter the other day."Baby? Come here. Listen to me, please? You know, I'm sorry about what happened the other day. Daddy is just tired, please understand," Stanley apologized to Heather, causing the latter to gradually approach him.When Heather got close, Stanley immediately picked her up, and they sat on the couch together. "You're not mad at me anymore, Daddy?" the kid queried, raising an eyebrow."Baby, Daddy didn't get mad at you. Daddy is just really tired. I'm really sorry because you feel th
Two months have passedEven if it's hard, even if Maxine is alone, she will do it for the babies.Maxine thanks God that she didn't end up with a caesarian delivery because she doesn't have enough money to pay the bill and she worries about who will take care of her while she rests.Maxine was thankful that Edward and Karen did not leave her alone. She owes the lives of the three of them. They were very happy with her twin. They seem to have a grandchild to take care of. They helped Maxine with everything, including hospital bills, and her children's belongings. They even hired a nanny to take care of the twins. Maxine was so grateful to them that she didn't know how she would repay the kindness they gave to her. Maxine gave birth to the twin two weeks ago. They look like their father. She can't explain the feeling of seeing them. It was beyond happiness. 'I hope, Stanley and I will be together to welcome them into the world, but he is not here' a sudden sadness she felt as she r
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."
