He was Leo Gomez, Maxine’s childhood best friend. They were so close that they could tell their deepest secrets to one another. They knew everything about each other except the fact that Leo was in love with Maxine. He loved her more than just a friend but didn’t bother to confess it because their friendship was way more important. He was really stupid if he would confess because he might lose her. Their friendship was important, so he never tried to cross the line between them and ruin what they had. And Leo was glad that he saw her happy. When he paid a visit yesterday at Maxine’s house he finally saw the woman he would fall in love with. He was glad destiny had given him a chance to meet her. He believed in love at first sight, so he wanted to claim the woman as his. Her name was Isabel Morgan, a school teacher. She was the teacher of Heather, Stanley’s daughter. He didn’t want to miss the chance, so he asked her best friend to help him make a move. Maxine told him that Isabel’s
Maxine was home with Heather still anxious about what happened earlier. She's planning to talk to her. Good thing Lisa and Stacy weren't there, they went somewhere upstate. She scolded her nanny as she was not keeping an eye on Heather properly. “How could they let the child see everything? Please Yolly. Do better!” She told her.“Hopefully this goes well.” She told herself. She came by close to Heather. She asked Yolly to leave the premises. She started to discuss something."Baby, Heather. I was gonna ask you something.” She told her.“What is it, Mommy? Uhm. You look weird. Did I do something?” She asked in such an immediate tone. Heather seems to be very curious about what’s bugging her.“Uhm. Calm down first will you, baby? It’s just…” Maxine hesitated.“It’s just?” Heather spoke to her. “It’s just Mommy was planning to leave. Though, I couldn’t bring you or daddy. Also, this is a secret we need to keep ourselves,” she told her."Why, Mommy? Where are you going? Baby's check-up
The sun was just about to rise when Stanley woke up. Beside him was Maxine, who was soundly sleeping. He gently moved her hair as he thought, ‘Don’t worry, Hon. Maureen can’t separate us. Although we will be temporarily apart because of her threat, I will make sure to find a way to get Maureen out of our lives. So, our family can finally live in peace.’A morning moan sounded from Maxine as her eyes slowly opened. “Good morning, Hon,” she smiled. Looking at her sweet smile, Stanley knew he would miss it once she left.“Good morning, Hon.” Stanley embraced her and closed his eyes.“You sure miss me already, huh? You’re hugging me too tight. I can’t breathe.” Maxine tapped his back as she teased.“Please, take care of yourself. Call when anything happens. We have a private plane. I can go there anytime.” Eager to protect her, Stanley emphasized.“Of course. I’ll be fine.” Maxine then suspiciously narrowed her eyes and sat up on the bed. “You are the one who should take care. If I find o
Once Maxine and Nurse Bea arrived in Toronto, Grandpa George picked them up and drove themto the rest house. On their way, Grandpa George asked, “How are you, Maxine?”“I’m fine, Dad. Thank you. I’m sorry for the trouble,” she answered, embarrassed.“You are my son’s wife, Maxine. No need to be shy,” he assured her while he stepped on thegas.They had a safe and fun trip on the road as Maxine appreciated the scenery. From time totime, they would also converse. Maxine then looked at her nurse, “Thank you, Bea, for agreeing to be my personal nurse.”She smiled with excitement. “Oh, Ma’am! I’m more grateful to you. I get to have a freevacation while my salary gets higher.” Maxine then knew that Stanley had done that.“Please call me Maxine. Besides, I think we’ll be friends since we’re going to stay togetherfor a while.”“Okay, Maxine...” she replied. Nurse Bea seemed jolly and expressive.After the long ride, they arrived at the rest house. It was grand, full of well-cared plants m
The days passed quickly. She had been away from them for two months. They couldn't visit her. She sighed because of the sadness she felt right now. And she seemed confused about why Maureen was always at home.She's trying to get back to their lives. She seems to be nice. For real or maybe just pretending? She misses them so much, but she can't do anything.They call her, but she feels different. It seems that she's not content whenever they had a phone call. She really wanted to get out but she knew she would have a hard time. Her baby was seven months old. She was thankful that Nurse Bea was with her, and she didn't feel too alone."Hello?" she was confused while answering the phone call, it was not registered on her phone. Her heart beats so fast. She didn't know who it was."Hey?" A man answered her and Maxine immediately recognized him."You're a monkey! Are you still alive?" She responded in an exciting tone She knew who it was . It was her best friend Leo."Did you miss me?" he
She is choking back tears as she looks at him. Her eyes betrayed a mixture of bewilderment and anguish. One of the things that he tried to hide from himself was the fact that she was crying. Because her tears only come out when she is either joyful or in pain, he considered each one of them to be as valuable as a pearl. This is because it demonstrates that her tears are an indicator of her emotional state. Yet at this very moment, she was inconsolable because she was in so much pain."But how was it that I was able to harm her?""You said you love me. I had the impression that it was just me?" The flood of her tears did not stop."I adore you, my dear. I love you so much "He made an attempt to give her a hug, but she resisted and pushed him away."Stanley, I adore you with all of my heart. So this is what you have planned for me, is it?" He is to blame for her pain because he is the one who caused it. Because it affected him so much to watch a loved one go through suffering, he felt a
Maureen had a strange feeling that told her to go home, so Stacy didn't think twice about letting her. They both enjoy each other's company, and she also went shopping for her beloved husband and adorable daughter. She made a promise to herself that no one would ever take them away from her again.The last thing Maureen wanted was for Maxine to return and ruin her life once more. She just had Stanley and Heather; if they were gone, her existence would be meaningless; before they came into her life, she had only herself, after her family had abandoned her. So she resolved not to abandon the family she had made.Maureen's eyelids fluttered and her eyes looked into space as memories from her past flashed through her mind...When Maureen went on vacation with her family eighteen years ago, they stayed in their vacation cottage in Toronto near a beach, which was also one of the places she did not want to return to. Although she had little recollection of her upbringing owing to her resentm
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
