Max's boss brought them to one of the luxurious restaurants in the city of Texas.
This place was away from any modern people so they're safe to have a quiet dinner to celebrate her daughter's eighth birthday.
She felt like her prince charming came into her life.
"Wow, it's so huge mom! I feel like I'm in a big castle!", Tally keeps praising the fancy place even it's the countryside.
Max roamed her eyes around too and Tally was right. The gigantic chandelier on every part of the tables and golden chairs and tables look so dazzling in your eyes. She doesn't know how to thank her boss for being so nice to them.
" Ahm, sir, are you sure that we will go to eat here? I think this place is for Kings and Queens only." She said and Asher chuckled.
"Don't worry, my treat." He said and we were stunned when one of the waiters came and lead us the way to his reservation.
"Here, ma'am and sir. Enjoy your family d
Maggie POVI need to see Tatiana for my come-up plans again. I can't give up like this. I will do everything to make Asher love me back again.I won't let anyone take him from me. I came back here and leave my job for him and I guess he didn't know about it. He wasn't aware that I am here to continue our wedding. We don't have a proper break up so I want to continue our wedding.I went home yesterday and I told my brother Tim not to tell mom that I and Asher weren't back together yet. I don't want her to get worried about my situation since she's the one who persuaded me to go home. She's always telling me that I need to see him because, after three years of being away from him, he didn't dare to find a new girlfriend and mom thinks that he's still waiting for me but why was everything doesn't goes in what I want to be?I stretch my arms and legs in my soft mattress before I get up from my bed. I smelled the nice aroma of the foods my mo
Asher lick his lips after Max came out from his office with a smirk on his face."So cute." He whispered while thinking about their kiss earlier.He was about to go out when someone came. His eyes widened suddenly to realize who came unexpectedly."Oh, looks like you saw a ghost? Am I not allowed to visit my son?", Mrs. Sophia Aragon came inside his office and Asher just rolled his eyes while following his mom.Mrs. Sophia went for a vacation in Alaska with her new husband and he was pissed about it. His life will go to be miserable again because his mom was here and she always bragging to him about Maggie, his ex-fiance.The socialite old lady sat beside his desk as she owned it." Mom, when did you get back? Why do you just wait in the house? This place is only for men and me ---", he stops when his mom looks mad.She slammed her palm on the table and Asher was surprised." Am I
Asher cupped his head after his mom left his office. His head started to throb about the visit of his mom. His life will become miserable again because the tiger came back. "It's okay, Asher. You can get away with it." He murmured and decided to go out. On his way out, he saw Russ talking to Max. He didn't continue going out since he plans to go to her office to say sorry for what he did a while ago. He just waited until one hour. *** Max POV "What? I--do--not know what you're talking about. What do you mean?", I asked him with my trembling lips. I think this is the worst moment of her life. If Russ will find out who she was, her chance of getting to the top will be nothing and their secrets with her boss Asher. Russ sneered. " Max, I know it's you. Why do you keep lying? Please, I know also that you celebrated with our boss on your daughter's birthday!", he to
Max tried her best not to confess and she succeeded. "Russ, please keep it a secret to everyone, please. I need this job for my daughter's future. I hope you will understand me." She begs for him once again. Russ took a deep sigh. He can't just stand here and just wait to see Max getting hurt. He decided to tell her about Maggie. "Max, don't worry about me. What I am worried about is your feelings. You don't know anything about Asher. He's just playing your heart." He told her with his sincere face. He's not even blinking so he's not joking here at all.Max was disturbed by what he told to her. She's curious about what he was about to say. " Listen to me carefully. Asher's heart belongs to Maggie only. She's her ex-fiance and she just get back from New York." He told her and Max didn't know about it. She doesn't know much about their boss. All she knows was he's cold, arrogant,
Asher made a quick shower and change his suits to a comfy pair of turquoise shorts and a plain white t-shirt where his biceps almost fill the edge of it. He's a fit guy and anyone fell for his muscular chest and broadened abs.He rubs his hair to make it messy and it adds a cooler look to him. He decided to go downstairs to meet Maggie and his mom for dinner even he's not glad to do it. He just doesn't want to hurt his mom since she's very sensitive in a moment like this."Oh, son. I'm glad you accept my request. It's time for dinner." She said when she saw him on the stairs coming towards them.He just took a sigh as his eyes shifted at his ex-fiance, Maggie."Ahem, it's nice to see you again." She mumbled when he's almost near them.He had no choice but to smile at her."Well, same to you." He simply said and Mrs. Aragon looks so happy that her son and soon-to-be daughter-in-law are getting along well.
Max POVI was tongue-tied when my boss appeared in front of my door.I felt like my legs turned to jelly and my forehead began to sweat as he walked inside."Sir, what are--you doing--here? It's late." My lips quivered as I smelled the scents of whiskey on his white t-shirt.He's too tall for me and when he came closer, I can't be seen anymore."I --just--miss you." His voice became a hush to my ears.And then to my surprise, he suddenly fell on me."Sir! Wait!", I exclaimed when we both stumbled on the floor.He's too heavy to carry and he's on top of me." hmmm, you're so beautiful, Max. You know how much I like you?" his lips were almost touching mine.I turned around but he quickly cupped my cheeks, making me face him."You can't get away from my kids anymore! Now, my turn to make you mine." His eyes sharpened to me and I felt nervous about
Maggie came home with her frowned face. She can't believe that her ex-fiance just kick her out of his house even after she confessed everything that happened in the past."That asshole. He's not worth it for me. Mom, maybe I can just forget about his money and just give up." She told her mom after she saw her in the wine bar area.Her mom was drinking alone there. She slowly gulped one sip of red wine in her mouth and put down the empty glass on the bar counter. He took a deep sigh as her eyes shifts towards her."Why give up now? Your ex-fiance is now a multi-billionaire so why the rush?", she raised her brown shade eyebrows at her.Maggie came closer and sat beside her. She took one empty wine glass and ask for a toss." Give me that. I want to be calm." She said and drink the whole glass of wine into her mouth.Her mom laughs at her behavior.She suddenly made applause for cheering her daught
Ace CompanyThe Aces employees make a line to welcome their boss Asher Aragon. Today is the day of Italy's summer collection Fashion Show and Max, the head designer of the Ace Company was the one who made the ten designs who is now walking behind their CEO. Russ was there too as her assistant designer.Everyone prepared to their way out going to Italy."Good luck, sir!", they said and escorted them to the exit door.Max didn't want to make eye contact with their boss so she decided to wear eyeglasses. Of course, she's still pulling her man's haircut, deep voice, and boyish walking and the way she acts on many people.Asher on the other hand did the same. It's like an awkward situation where they were together but they are both too shy to talk to one another. Russ notices them so when they're inside the Limousine going to the airport." Is there any problem? Seems like you two are fighting?", he cleared his thro
While on his way to the main road, Asher saw Russ driving his car with the police patrol following him to find Max.The only place that Claud might bring her was his abandoned apartment so Russ told the police about his address. Asher doesn't know what to do because he will blame himself if something bad will happens to her because of him."Are we far yet? Can we hurry because I know that Claud doesn't listen to anyone? I know Maggie did all of this because she wants Max out from our life!", Asher keep telling Russ and he was worried too for Max because she was very dear to him.While focusing his eyes on the roadway, deep inside he was scared because Max knows how he has feelings for her but he gives way since she loves Asher." You're not the only one who wants her safe. I am worried about her because I am her friend too," he told him while gently slowing down the speeds of his car.The police patrol park their car f
Max didn't know what to do when Claud started to point the gun in her head. She's alone and has nowhere to call to help her so she suddenly got nervous about what will happen to her when Claud will kill her. She was thinking of her daughter Tally if she will die. She was still young to be left alone in this world. She doesn't want her daughter to be an orphan just like her so whatever it takes, she will make sure that she will live. "You are a good guy, Claud. I know that and if you love her, don't let her use you. It's a selfish thing. Tell her you like her and she will have to accept that Asher doesn't love her!", Max tried to convince Claud of doing the right thing but instead of listening to her, he tightened his grip on the pistol and load the gun ready to shot her. " Enough! I don't want to hear about your lectures! Maggie will be happy if I can make you out of her life. I don't care if I'm going to jail as long as I make her wish come
As they felt that someone hit their car, Asher suddenly smash his head on the side window, and when he opened his eyes, he saw his fiance beside him with her head covered with blood."Max, are you okay? Help! Help us!", he called for help because they turned upside down, and Russ was at the driver's seat with his bleeding head too.He was unconscious just like Max.He heard her whimper and he hold her hands." Don't worry, everything will be okay. I'm here now and I won't let anything bad happen to you, okay." He promises her while trying his best to come out from the car door.He looked up when he realized that someone was standing in front of their car without even helping them. He doesn't remember how they got into a car accident and they went with Russ. Everything feels odd and he's still confused to what is happening at the moment." Honey, come out now. Hold my hand quickly!", I saw her face and she
Max quickly hid when she saw Claud and Asher's mom coming inside."I need to call Russ. He needs to know that I found him and we need to take Asher out but how will I do it when he doesn't remember anything about me?Max decided to leave the place and went to Russ's apartment.She made three knocks before someone opened the door for her." Finally, you heard me. I need your help!", she said with her calm voice.Russ didn't say any single word of disagreement towards her. He simply let her come inside and they talked about Asher."Have a seat, first. Let's talk about it." He looks so calm and Max didn't want to disturb Russ anymore but she can't go back to the Island anymore without Asher.She loves him and they will soon get married so she has to do everything just to get him back from Maggie.She quickly took his hands without hesitation while staring directly into his eyes.
Asher rubs his eyes to double-check the girl he was seeing in his bare eyes was the same girl in his dreams. "Oh, this is not right. She's real and she's standing right in front of me." He mumbled to see the girl's curious face while looking at him like she knew him very well. *** Max POV I need to find my fiance. I can search him everywhere in this whole Dallas. It's my fault why he needs to drive recklessly because he was mad at me for taking him away from me. Without the help of Russ, I will find him. I feel like I'm going to go to the washroom inside the airport when I saw a familiar face staring at me so closely. I knew it's him because he exactly looks like Asher. He was there standing right in front of me. I don't know why he's not approaching me yet. I then realized that he forgot everything from his past. His memories were erased by the accident and if it was a mild memory loss then he can get his
Maggie woke up beside Asher's arms. Last night was one of the best things that happened in her life. She was lying next to the man she loves for ten years but she left him because of her dream job. She never thought that she's still in love with him.She let Asher sleep while she was hugging him."Let us stay this way. I don't want you to leave me anymore. I will do everything just to make you stay with me. Max will never be your fiance, never!", She mumbled and wrapped her arms around his back.Asher felt her waking up so he opened his eyes and a smile escape from his lips." Good morning, honey." Maggie greeted him and Asher did the same."Did you sleep well? So how was your head? Does it still hurt?", she asked him but instead of saying yes, Asher quickly pinch her nose." I'm okay, hon. You're so cute when you're smiling." He said and then Maggie started hitting him with her pillow.Asher
Max POV" What? Can you tell me what exactly you wanted to say?", I asked Tatiana again because I think I misheard her."I am saying the truth. I said my brother can't remember anything. He just lost his memories." She said and I am thinking about what I need to do to find him.Maybe his sister knows so I asked her if her mom said his location."Please, if you know where Asher is, can you tell me now?", she asked her but Tatiana said she don't know either.Max doesn't believe her." You know and you're lying to me. Please, I beg you, tell me where my fiance is. He needs me and you know that." I asked her once again but she keeps telling me that she didn't know it."I'm just keeping this from my mom. She didn't want to tell me where my brother is because she knows that I'm at your side so if you want me to help you, you have to pay me first. You know, money rules this world." She said and I don
The brain operation on Asher was a success. Maggie and his mom Sophia felt relieved when he survived the general operation. When Asher suddenly moves his fingers at Maggie's grip, she quickly felt her heart skip a beat and she called the private doctor to check on him."Dr. Green, can you come over here? I think he's waking up." Maggie said and her Aunt Sophia heard it so she quickly went inside Asher's room."Maggie, is Asher moving his hand just now?", she wants to confirm it with her.She quickly nods her head as confirmation. She looks so happy but a bit nervous too because she doesn't know if Asher can remember or not. She was hoping that he can't because her effort will go to waste taking care of him. This is her only chance to be with him. She still loves him and if she can turn back the time when they're both in love and happy but she made those choices and she can't blame him. If they're together then rue fate will make a way and maybe
Max POV"Max, are you listening to me?", Russ asked me after his confession.Hearing him saying that Asher and that bitch went outside the bar together made my knees turn like jelly. I don't know how to react. Am I going to scream or am I going to go to him and yell at him about what he did but at this moment, he's at the hospital and I don't know where it is?I heard Russ calling my name but I feel like the deaf." What? Did you call me? Are you done talking?", I asked him and he tood me that what he said was right and he already said everything.He looks so worried about me and he has to because I don't know now what to do. Should I continue looking for him or not? My sympathy towards him turned into hatred."Max, what can you say about it? Are you going to take a risk or wait for him to wake up?", he asked me but I still don't know what to do." Wait, let me think first. I'm not feeling well I gu
