Chapter 1
Jake….what are you still doing there Maria he says hurriedly down the stairs am coming honey.
Jake and Maria had been married for five years but since then it had always been about quarrelling.
As a doctor Jake had to spend most of his time at the hospital saving lives and Maria as a lawyer had to
Spend time at her law firm solving cases. During the weekends Jake would be called on emergences living
His wife to spend the weekend by herself, but to Maria that was never an excuse for she wanted her
Husband to be hers and only hers. Maria had been born to a
Poor family, her father had left her mother a few weeks after
She had been born promising her that he would come back but
Since then he had never stepped his foot in the little city of Baham.Maria
Had siblings Bungan and Sibongile.Sibongile was a well brought
Up girl who wanted to follow her sister career now at the age of
Sixteen whereas Bungan was a boy who wanted to study medicine.
Unlike Maria’s family Jake come from a family which was rich
And his father and mother were the queen and king of Indonesia.
Due to the different backgrounds Maria was not comfortable for she was just an ordinary commoner
