1. Sleep little baby

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

2. A good samaritan

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

3. My only chance to survive

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.

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.

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

She immediately took off her wigs, men's suits, and men's shoes. She place it inside her backpack and then took a deep breath.  "Just wait, baby, our life will change tonight." She mumbled and put a wide smile on her face.  She bounce her feet while walking on the aisle when someone called behind her.  "Max, is that you?", it's a male voice and when she turned around, she almost had a heart attack when that guy was Russ.  She's lucky that she quickly replaced her men's clothes into her formal attire which are baggy pants and a plain white t-shirt.  " Oh, my, you startled me! What are---hmm I mean you're the guy who help me right?", she asked Russ in her soft voice.  She had to act like Max before and not Max who works now as a head designer of ACE

She holds her daughter tightly on her shoulders as the car window rolled down.  A young beautiful and hot man appeared and Max didn't know what to do when it was her boss Asher.

Ahhh hm..is your house far from here? I can take you home and your daughter." He offers them a ride.  His smile made her melt and can turn her legs like jellies.
