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.
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 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
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
The cold breeze ruined my hair while I and my daughter Taly crossed the bridge away from our home. My husband Greg died because of drunkness. He falls on this bridge while going home. He left us with nothing but his huge debt from two lending companies. Taly was only one year old and the only thing that covered her body was the thick jacket I bought one year ago.I cough with colds and my legs and arms feel numb with these winter days. Taly started crying and I don't know what to do. I had one backpack with me and I forgot to get her milk on the table when they started pushing and destroying our things. I ran as fast as I can to save my daughter.The heaven became darker and creepier. I didn't realize we made it to the town of Dallas with my feet only. My poor Taly, she fell asleep while crying.I felt relieved that we arrived here safe and sound. I roamed my eyes around to find a new place to settle. I sigh with frustra
I don't know how to thank this guy with a pure heart for helping us without asking anything in return. While he carried my daughter from her bed, I can see through his eyes the eagerness to help us. I'm so grateful that aside from being poor, God sent a good Samaritan to help bring my daughter to the nearest hospital from our place.While he was driving, I saw him snatching glances at me. I sometimes bent my head down my lap checking Taly to escape from his fascinating eyes.Call me acting like a teenager but it's a bit awkward for me to have someone staring at me the whole time because I'm now a mom, actually a single mom. It's my first time in my life again to experience this type of chilling moment."Hey, are you afraid that I might hurt both of you?", finally, the good guy asked me.I quickly shook my head." No, I was jus
I was excited to go outside for job hunting but every time I showed them my resume, they change their decision to hire me.It's my tenth interview with a fabric company as a sewing maker. I waited patiently after receiving a number thirty number tag. I didn't even have a proper meal since I don't want to waste any time until I didn't get any job. My stomach is now rumbling inside but I just ignored it and just drink the last drop of my bottled water."Max Lopez?", I heard my name." It's me, ma'am!", I quickly stood up and answered her.She's the one who handles all the applicants. She's old and serious. I took a deep breath for an interview."Follow me." She said and I gladly came to the consultation room with her."Good luck!", she said before leaving me inside.
Max woke up early for a job interview at Ace Company. Her daughter Taly had no idea what she has in mind for this job. She didn't try to wake her because she's sleeping soundly. I made my way to the kitchen to prepare our breakfast first and I have to go to the market to find a cheap man's suit and shoes since we left our old house with nothing but a backpack alone.I just wash my face with cold water from the sink and rolled my hair into a bun. I ate one piece of bread and drink a cup of coffee as my early breakfast. I brush my teeth and decided to just apply a little make-up after. I'm all set.After twenty minutes...I finally found a suitable outfit for my interview. I'm a bit anxious and doubtful about this plan of mine but there's no turning back. My decision is final and this is my only chance to have a decent job. It
Max POV After hearing about our sudden task, I didn't know what to do. I felt my legs started to trembled and my hands keeps fidgeting with my hair. This is my mannerism if I'm nervous. I had no idea that it's part of the interview. Sweat started to roll down from my forehead as we are waiting for their surprise task. I am not a professional dress designer especially for men because I didn't finish my course when Ethan pregnant me. I was in the second year of my course when I became a mother at a young age. We all know looked up when the CEO spoke. " I will base my preference on your resume and the outcome of your given task for you to be hired by me.", Mr. Aragon informed us while his staff took the materials to be recycled by us. I am trying to avoid eye contact with him since I am a girl who hides under this man's wigs, a male tuxedo, and a fake bea
