Stanley raked his fingers against his hair before blowing a large breath. Then he looked at the worried face of his wife and held onto her hands."Something came up," he squeezed his eyes shut, then opened them again."What about?""Our daughter. She's… she's missing." The nervousness in his voice was evident, which made her panic, too."How did that happen? That international school has tight security alongside her bodyguards, so why?" Her throat became dry; the corner of her eyes sharply stung.They walked hand in hand, heading to the parkway. Soon, they went in the car; Stanley buckled her seat belt up and sped off as if fucking demons were after them. Seconds passed when he spoke again, telling her to calm down. The last thing he wanted was to bring a threat to the baby's health."I'll send you home first before going to school," he informed, stepping on the gas impatiently."No, Stanley, I'm coming with you," Maxine reprimanded, determined."But it's dangerous, Maxine." He starte
Maureen was enjoying her beverage of choice while savoring the peace and quiet of the park in which she was seated. In spite of the fact that the sun was shining and the atmosphere was calm, she couldn't help but clench her teeth because of Maxine. She was verbally and mentally abusing herself in every way she could think of. "If it weren't for that whore, Stanley would still love me," she said, referring to Stanley's ex-girlfriend.At first, Maureen believed that there was a significant possibility that she would be able to win back her ex-husband because of Heather. She was confident that in the event that Heather expressed a desire to reunite with her biological mother, Stanley would have no other option but to separate from Maxine. If he had to choose between his daughter and her, he would go with his own daughter every time. On the other hand, nothing worked out the way she had planned. She was kicked out, so she cursed, "They deserve to go to hell!" (They deserved to be kicked o
Stanley was in his study, looking at a new proposal from a new client. While reading, he suddenly wondered what Maxine and Heather were doing. So, he walked toward Heather's room and saw his daughter soundly asleep. A smile glimpsed on his lips. Since Maxine wasn't there, he thought she might be in their bedroom. Upon approaching their room, he suddenly heard her loud, angry voice talking to someone on her phone.Stanley could only think of one person who could upset his wife,—Maureen. He rushed to enter and grabbed the phone from her in anger."Don't you dare do anything, Maureen. You try to hurt my wife; I won't hesitate to put you in jail." After Stanley placed the phone angrily, he embraced Maxine."I'm sorry, Hon. Whatever she said to you, ignore it. I won't let anything happen to you," he thoughtfully said as he brushed Maxine's hair."I'm not afraid of her, Hon. I just don't want her to come near Heather. She's too crazy," Maxine said and looked at Stanley.Stanley exhaled firs
Maxine was not afraid of what Maureen would do next, but she was frustrated because she still interfered with their lives. Unfortunately, because of what happened, Heather had to quit regular school and continue her studies at home. Heather’s mother, Maxine, was affected by what happened, so Grace, her teacher, had to go to their mansion to teach her some lessons. At first, the child was confused, but they didn’t have a hard time explaining things to her because she was clever."Baby, I’m sorry because you have to study at home," Maxine said. She felt sorry for her daughter."It's not your fault, Mommy," she replied. You could see the sadness in her eyes, too. "It's only temporary, baby. Promise you'll go back to school again," her mommy explained as she touched Heather's face. "It's okay, Mom. Dont' worry about it, Daddy said it wasn't good for you and baby." Maxine’s heart melted with what the child said. ‘It was a good thing that she did not get her mother’s attitude,’ she thoug
Maxine woke up in a place she was familiar with. Everything she could see was white, the ceiling, the wall, and even the bed. It was like a deja vu for her. It seemed that it had already happened. She looked around and hoped that she could see her handsome angel again, but this time he didn’t appear. She waited for Stanley to appear, but he didn’t. She wondered where she was and suddenly remembered she was with Stacey at the mall the day before. She felt dizzy and her world turned black. When she looked out the window, the sun has risen, so she panicked. She thought of how long she has been there lying and sleeping. “‘Where am I?” she voiced, and maybe the nurse who just came in heard her. "You’re in the hospital. Please calm down, Ma'am," the nurse said. "Hey, nurse! Is this a hospital? And what is your name?" Maxine asked again."I’m Nurse Catherine, Ma'am. My friend told me that you were brought here yesterday unconscious. It’s her off today, so she asked me to take care of you,"
Luckily Maxine was fine and safe now. It took him a lot of patience to keep his sanity intact despite all the chaos that happened. And now they were sleeping next to each other with her head resting on his chest. Stanley gazed lovingly at his wife and smiled contently. Using his thumb, he caressed the side of her face, mesmerizing by her eccentric beauty. He was one lucky bastard for having such a wonderful woman in this crazy world, he thought. He was taking his time gazing at her when suddenly memories from the incident came rushing like waterfalls. He loved her so much that it hurts. He would not let it happen; not under his watch again. With that in mind, Stanley pulled her closer to him before dropping a gentle kiss against her forehead. "Love you, honey," Maxine murmured in her sleep. "I love you more, baby." He cupped her chin and gave her a quick smooch. As he was about to deepen the kiss, a loud knock abruptly came. He groaned inwardly as his eyes shifted to the door. Hone
Velma was back with vengeance! The stickybeak was missing in action for a while until she decided to plot her great come back for real. Sure, she'd been absent in their lives for a certain time, but still, Stanley had always been under her watch. She was hardly informed of the rift in their marriage since time immemorial and had wicked innuendos about his failed relationship with Maureen which she believed was good riddance. Velma would never forget that once upon a time they were good friends with benefits that's why her love for him grew and matured as the years passed by. Yes, she was once an old flame, yet she reckoned the label no longer fit her anymore. She's confident she was more than that and could offer more special favors to him. So today marked the perfect moment to rekindle the fire between them. She was hopeful that they could push their lusty link to the next level; to own and keep him close forever. Oh, she'd been dying to meet Stanley in full flesh again! It had been
Surprised was an understatement, shocked it was. Maxine was not ready for his abrupt presence, she could only bite her inner cheek. She wondered how long he was watching them and the very thought brought chills down her spine. "Stanley. . . why are you here?" "I've been looking for you for a while. This town is too small not to find you." His stern gaze was on Leo. "Why are you doing this? I told you not to follow me, right?" Stanley gritted his teeth. "I'm worried sick, so I'm here to fetch you."There was a short pause; they just exchanged heavy glances with each other. But when Maxine was about to speak again her best bud abruptly butted in. "Fancy meeting you here, man. By the way, I'm Leo Gomez, your wife's friend." The guy held out his hand to him but Stanley didn't accept it. And instead he took Maxine's hand before pinning her beside him. "Stanley Robbins, I'm her husband. I wonder why Maxine never mentioned you to me," then he swiftly stared at his wife. "I see. I'm n
