Chapter 669 - Six Hundred And Sixty-nine: She Hoped It Wasnt Too Late (1/2)

The third point of view:

It was Maggie's welcome party today yet the celebrant wasn't in high spirit. Sakuzi had organized this party for her to have a good time and as well, recognize her effort over the years.

She had grown from a woman who depended on him for survival to a woman who ensured the survival of others. Sakuzi was proud of her achievements hence it wasn't surprising he celebrated her.

However, even though everyone was in high spirits, Maggie was not satisfied. She couldn't explain it but she was unfulfilled which didn't make sense at all. After the ordeal with Fernandez, her life mission had been to rescue other girls in the same situation as her. But even with the progress, she made so far she was still not happy.

Maggie was not a fool to think that revenge would satisfy her, this was another feeling altogether and the worst part, she was afraid to admit it. However, her eyes still betrayed her when it rested on a man with his wife and daughter conversing with a fellow member. This was just a simple party, so some of their members had attended with their families.

An ache grew in her heart as she stared at the scene. That was it, Maggie wanted a family - not just any family but her own family. Recently she kept dreaming of the daughter she lost and it all began that day after the confrontation with Andrew.

Andrew? That name made her heart skip a beat but the woman pushed the silly feeling out of her head. She was not a lovestruck teenager anymore and love was nothing but hormones produced in the body and wouldn't last forever. She just had to control the excitement and she would be good. Yes, that is it.

”It wouldn't be bad to start a family with Andrew,” her lecherous thought betrayed her once again.

Maggie sighed, gulping down the whole of her wine, and smiled at one of her acquaintances. She was restless, bitter, and uncomfortable.

The woman kept telling herself that it wasn't advisable to start a family now but that was the one thing she craved recently. She had a lot of enemies and she couldn't be weak now she was at the pinnacle of her achievement. Moreover, she had promised not to be distracted from her life mission and family was nothing but a distraction.

Maggie kept giving herself reasons upon reasons why she shouldn't start a family when it suddenly hit her, she was scared.

Oh, God.

She had thought that she was over the trauma from Fernandez but the truth was that she hadn't gotten over it at all. Her life mission had been nothing but a distraction she had used to cover her pain, anger, and embarrassment. She was just scared of giving a shot at motherhood.

Fernandez had ruined her before Maggie got married hence the idea of marriage didn't appeal to her at all. until now. She had unintentionally tortured herself in the name of vengeance against her sinners. But now she wondered, was it too late to start a home? Unfortunately, there was only one way to find out.

Heart pounding in her throat, Maggie went in search of Andrew. That day he had given her that hilarious suggestion, she had turned him down and asked him to give up on her because he was never going to change her mind.

Damn it! Why did she say that? Why couldn't she control this damn mouth for once? Now, how was she going to explain it to him? How would she even face him? God, she was doomed.

Having faith that somehow he attended her party, Maggie went in search of Andrew, however, as the guest of the occasion, she was swarmed in conversation and compliments before she could even take a step forward. May God have mercy on her soul today.
