Maxine's Point of ViewLiving here with my family wasn't that bad. They always make me feel that they love me, they care for me. They also give everything I want, sometimes even if I don't ask them for anything they will give me one. I can really feel that they love me and I'm part of this family. The house is triple the size of GH's mansion. My room even has a second floor. They also showed me my room when I was a baby, when they lost me. Mom said that they ordered a maid to clean that room everyday. I'm so touched.However, there was no time that I didn't miss GH and his grandsons. I hope they are doing okay there. I'm doing fine here so I hope they were too. My school life is not bad either. My classmates were treating me well, unlike in my past school. Of course, they know about my family so I think that's the reason why they are good to me. But I hope my family status is not the reason why they are nice. I hope that family status is not the important thing to gain friends. Wow,
Maxine's Point of ViewI'm looking at my reflection in the mirror, admiring my looks. I'm wearing a fairy shoulder white chiffon. I practiced a smile and how to greet everyone that would come later. Everyone is busy while I'm here alone in my room. Dad and Mom won't let me step outside my room. They said that I should just stay here until they called me, so I just did what they wanted me to do. There is nothing to lose if I follow their instructions. But I feel bored, and scared. Why? Because, when I'm alone all I could think about was Alyn. Nevermind.I'm nervous! I will play the piano later in front of various people. What if I make a mistake? Sigh... It would be embarrassing, especially to my relatives. I hope I won't make a mistake, I'll do my best! I don't want to embarrass my family in front of numerous people. Because I don't want to think about anything and to avoid it, I just lay down on my bed and sleep. I just woke up when I heard a knock on the door. I yawned and stretc
Maxine's Point of ViewDue to shock, I stood up and grabbed the MC's hand. I looked at her straight to her eyes and asked her, "Are you kidding me right now? Or is this only a dream? I haven't awakened yet?"Her eyes widened. She looked around the visitors before she turned to me again to answer, "Please, Ms. Maxine, don't embarrass yourself in front of those people," she mumbled.I let go of her hand and looked at the crowd. I took a deep breath when I saw the worries on Mom's face. I sat down again and using my right hand, I held my left hand to stop its trembling. Damn. Even if this is just a dream, I still feel nervous. I want to wake up before I can see Alyn's face. "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Alyn Crawford!" She even raised her hand to act like he was really introducing Alyn.After a few moments, no one comes out. No one goes up in this little stage. Even the MC is puzzled because no one showed up. She even re-read her script to make sure that she read it right. She
Maxine's Point of View"W-Why? What are we going to talk about?" I asked as I followed him. We're now in the garden but he still hasn't stopped walking.He stopped walking and turned to me. Wow, did he wait for me to ask before he stopped? Tch. He tilted his head, "Aren't you going to say something? Like, 'sorry for leaving you, Alyn' something like that?"Why does he look mad? I just did that for him. To set him free and so I could help him. I don't want to see him struggle to choose between me and Elaine. That's why I did that. I don't want things to get hard for him. I just did those for him. Why is he mad? Isn't he thankful instead? I should be the one who's mad, right? He said that I was the only one for him but then he got confused with his feelings when Elaine came back. What kind of bullshit is that? My gosh, I'm getting annoyed just by thinking about that.I averted my eyes, "Why would I? I just did what I had to do.""Wow, really..." He scoffed, "After having sex with me. A
Maxine's Point of ViewWe really woke up early in the morning to go to the house Alyn was talking about last night. It's a two story house. It has a terrace on the second floor which is also connected to one of the rooms. The second floor has three rooms. It also has a master bedroom on the first floor. And there was a room for a house helper. After the kitchen, it's outside and on the opposite side is the maids' room. It's nice and big. The garage and pool are present, too. It will be too big just for the two of us. Can't we just live together with his cousins in their Mansion? Psh. I'm nervous to be alone with him."Aren't we going home now? We're done checking the house," I asked. I'm sitting on the couch with my legs crossed.He sat down next to me, "We're staying here."I looked at him instantly, surprised by what I heard, "And why is that?""This is our house so why do you think we still have to go home to your mansion?" He turned to me with his brow arched.Are we really going
Maxine's Point of ViewWe waited for the orders to arrive and while waiting we were both quiet. It seemed like no one had an intention to speak. I just sighed due to boredom and I think he heard that because he looked at me. After a few moments, he put down his phone which he had been holding since we arrived here. He turned his head to the counter then he looked back at me again."Are you okay? Are you hungry?" He asked.I crossed my arms over my chest, "No, I'm just bored.""Don't worry, the food will come soon," he said, and gave me an assuring smile.My face flushed. I just nodded and averted my gaze. Damn. I think I'm not normal anymore. My feelings for Alyn have become stronger than before.The restaurant is big but it felt like it was small because Alyn is in front of me. I know that his attention was on his phone now but I still can't look at him. Damn it. He hasn't done anything yet but my heart is thumping insanely. The butterflies on my stomach started to come back to life
Maxine's Point of View[7:13 PM]After we ate dinner, we bid good-byes to his cousins. My heart races insanely when his cousins' cars are gone. Now, we're the only ones here. I'm alone with Alyn. I'm with the man I love that suddenly became my husband. What should I do? I'm still ashamed of what I did in the pool earlier. I don't know if I should talk to him, considering his temper, he might be mad at me now."Are you not going inside yet? You might freeze here," he uttered.I turned to him. I stared at his nice-looking face and I don't know how long I did that. I just suddenly realized that I was staring at him for too long when he waved his hand in front of my face."Are you okay?" He asked. When I bowed my head to avoid his gaze, he tilted his head so that he could see my face. He even held my shoulders so I couldn't move away. "Maxine, is there something wrong? Why won't you talk to me?"I bit my lower lip before I answered, "I'm... I'm sorry about what happened in the pool." I ap
Maxine's Point of View"I came here to pick you up," he said. He put his hand holding a handkerchief in his pocket, then extended his other hand in front of me, "Shall we?" He asked, while wearing a sweet smile.Yes. Let's go. Let's go home, Alyn.That's what I wanted to reply, however, my lips just parted but I couldn't utter any words. I don't know how long I have been silent, I just got back to my senses when Shin grabbed my elbow and whispered to my ear. "Max, is he your husband?" She asked, "I know he's handsome the last time I saw him the night of your birthday but I didn't know that he could be more handsome during the day." I elbowed her, "Shut up." I mumbled, still looking at Alyn.Alyn lowered his hand that was going to shake my hand and put it in his pants pocket. His lips trembled but still managed to smile at me."Sorry, are there too many people?" He looked around then looked at me again, "Are you uncomfortable?"I shook my head instantly, "No! O-Of course not. I'm jus
