What if Max knows that I was with Maggie at this moment? I don't want to hurt her because I love her.  *** "Sid, good evening. What can I do for you?", the receptionist of the hotel asked Asher while looking at Maggie.  Asher was tipsy too so he had no idea that he had gone here with Maggie.

Four months earlier... Max POV  It's been three days since I resigned. I decided to cut off all my connections to my boss and chose on focusing on my daughter and having a shop of my own. When I was a kid, I am dreaming to have a flower shop but I ended up being a fashion designer. I studied well when I was in college but when Greg started to show motives on me, I was turned into a foolish blind Max when it comes to curiosity. I became a mother in my teenage days and turned widowed in my twenties.  I give birth to my lovely daughter Tally. I raised her well even I had to do four jobs in a day. It's hard when you're a single mom.

I didn't realize that I fell asleep without even taking off my pants and t-shirts.  *** I heard my phone beeps so even my eyes were only half awake, I manage to check my phone and check who texted me.  I check the inbox and my eyes widened to see Max's messages and missed calls.  "Fuck!", I check the time and she sent them yesterday when I was at the bar having fun with my friends.  I read them all and she sent messages that she was worried about me. I was about to call her when I saw some lipsticks stain on my t-shirt.  " Where this came from?", I mumbled while making my way t

If it wasn't for Maggie, maybe we will go bankrupt!", she's very mad that she can't hold her anger to her only daughter.  Tatiana quickly cupped her swollen face and glared at her mom.  " Are you my mom? I know this will come. You came back because Asher's company is famous now and you needed him, right? You're just like me, mom, a bunch of liars and a thief." She said to her mom and Mrs. Aragon narrowed her eyes towards her.  She smirked and asked her daughter why she's saying those words to her.  "Us, we're liars and a thief? I don't know what you mean, Tatiana, but all I know is you have no respect for your mom!", she yelled at her like a kid.  Tatiana cried.
