Okay so what if…
Maryse’s brother came to her after having heard that Alec was dating a Downwolder. He wanted to help her understand that love is love. I mean, against everything he has married a mundane woman. But he doesn’t know that it’s a guy who is also a Downworlder. So when Maryse tells him this he is like “So what? He loves and is loved, that’s what matters the most. I can’t say it about your husband, though.” And this is a breaking point for Maryse. She has finally realized that this is true. That her marriage is a lost cause and she should fight for her happiness like her brother and son did. Beceause her son is a happy man, and that’s what should matter to her the most. So when she heard that Alec has been appointed the new Head of NY Institute she decided to create a new life for herself. To end things with Robert and make it up to everyone that she has hurt in the past.
So she created a list of those people. Of course her children and their friends are high on that list. But she surprises herself when she automatically wrote the name of Lucian Greymark on this list too. So right after she made up with her children she went straight torwards him. But when he ignored her slightly, she feelt upset. She didn’t even know why. But it just upset her for some reason. But Luke, right after he’d got freed from prison, went to her, beceause deep down he knew how important this could be for her. And they apologize to each other. And that’s it. Maryse can finally start her new life. She sent a fire messege to her brother about everything that happened to thank him for his help and asked him if he was free in the next week so she and her children could meet his wife. And he just smiled, agreeing to the meeting and beeing happy he could help his sister.
