Chapter 136
Max
I cannot believe I trusted Daniel. He wanted Ellie all along. I didn't pay attention when Blake said that the car that was parked outside in the VIP parking area, looked like Daniel's. I was focused on clearing up a lot of confusion. I was struggling to wrap my head around the fact that Ellie could cheat. She's not the type.
I wanted to know what happened with my girlfriend and my family. There are two sides to every story, Ellie told me her version, I wanted to hear my family is very good and hopefully, everything would go back to normal. That's just wishful thinking. I was
I'm still connected to Ellie and part of me could still sense her energy and presence. I had brunch what the family and all of them avoided the elephant in the room. I knew all of them had to answer me, but I didn't think it was the right time. I knew that my mother was hiding something, and my sister was acting way too guilty, Blake was angry, and he
Chapter 137MaxI looked at Ellie and I could see the worry and fear in her eyes. I nodded and took a deep breath ;" I know I broke your heart ten years ago by not believing you and I feel like it wouldn't be fair to you to make you wait. I will talk to my family and I promise to talk to you when I am done."" Oh by the way Maria is in town, and since she's the one spreading lies about everything I suggest you set the record straight with her before things get out of control I mean it."" I will. "" Take care. I have to go your dad is on his way here. "Ellie left the room and when I looked at Daniel he had a bruised jaw. I kind of felt guilty about the whole incident and I should have approached it differently instead of assuming. Truth be told where Ellie is concerned any reasoning goes out the window. She drives me crazy. I looked up at Daniel who seemed calm. 
Chapter 138EllieI thought I was going to have a peaceful drama free day until Max walked in on Daniel asking me to move into his guest house permanently , after I ran the idea of me buying his guest house from him . Maxwell went crazy to the point where he started beating Daniel.His attempt to inflict pain on someone innocent didn't materialize because; Daniel ended it up holding him at bay and getting him to calm down.I didn't expect you to show up like he did and I had felt like he was around . I brushed the feeling off because we had been apart for so long ,and I didn't want to entertain any feelings concerning him because I would feel happy and sad at the same time which is not a good feeling. It's a feeling that brings about feelings of emotional limbo.I avoiding Daniel all week and I didn't realise that it was a friendship anniversary. We were celebrating 20 years together as friends and it was a reall
Chapter 139MaxThe ride back home from the restaurant was tense. I went into the car after talking to Daniel and I was a bit unsettled. When Ellie and I got back together, we promised each other that; would be honest and open about everything. We're separated right now and it's by circumstance and not by anyone's doing or so I thought.When I saw Ellie at the restaurant; I saw that she was hurting. She has a habit of hiding things from people, but I can't hide anything from me because I have known her for the longest of times and I know inside out. Daniel might have known her longer than me but she chose me and she loves me. she is carrying my child owned I hear that I might miss out on important milestones, the reason being; my mother doesn't want to answer me about what happened on the day she kicked out Ellie and our unborn baby.It's the strangest feeling ever where you know that you're starting a new life with someone else an
Chapter 140MaxI knew that the hotel wasn't that far and I wanted answers . Ellie doesn't want me for money . She is loaded. She could have chosen to go to the hotel or pack her stuff and go back to her grandfather's property where she renovated the lake house and live there . She has the money to by herself a new house... But this was our home and what had happened was fuelled by lies and a misunderstanding.As soon as my mother called Maria ; I went to the study to go get a new phone and set it up. Ellie had a habit of keeping two extra phones just incase anything happened and we needed new phones .As soon as I got everything up and running while I had my foot on the desk, I called Ellie and she picked up on the first ring ." Hey Ellie it's me Max."" Hey are you home safe ? "" Yes but
Chapter 141MaxwellMaria is like that ex that won't go away. They get that it's over ; they accept that it's over , but when they see you with someone new they try everything in their power to cause trouble . She did that with Betty and I will be damned if she does it with Ellie . I have been at the bottom end of an Eleanor rant , but this afternoon was the first time that I actually witnessed her passive aggressive behaviour .Ellie would usually fire warning shots before she did something. When Blake was talking with her yesterday on a call that I made she fired a warning shot, and actually acted on the warning .She had every right to be angry after what happened,and given the time that it was happening it was actually the wrong time because, she was 6 months pregnant. The last thing she needed was to be triggered in any way and I think Blake might have t
Chapter 142 Ellie It used to take me a while to get angry because I was very understanding and calm. If you did something wrong to me I'd get my point across directly and indirectly to make sure you know that you've wronged me and that I expect an apology, and if you don't give me the apology, I become passive-aggressive or cancel your out when I'm around you until you admit that you are at fault. Going back to my own house was not easy. It is my own house after all, and I cannot believe I allowed people that I've trusted for the longest of times to treat me the way they did. I drove back to my beach house after going to the aquarium with every that I was kicked out with that included; all the baby clothes, toys, and absolutely everything in my SUV. As soon as I arrived I grabbed my suitcase, and made my way inside the house I used the garage entrance to get in and go upstairs drop my stuff and look for Maxwell. All
Chapter 143EllieJanet isn't a bad cook; in fact like his son, she is a chef in the kitchen. By the time we sat down for dinner, Blake and Billy didn't say anything for the first 15 minutes. If uncomfortable was a situation, it would be the dinner that I was invited to by my boyfriend in my own house that I was kicked out of, with the people who got me out of my property and my best friend Daniel. First of all Blake, was like acting all reserved and he wasn't like himself which meant that he knew what he did was wrong, and yet he blamed the situation on him behaving the way he did. He was also afraid of breaking the ice because of the way I cut him off when you disturbed my conversation with Maxwell. Billy wasn't saying anything she was giving me dagger eyes and death stares She was even lucky that I didn't snap at her. Granted that she had mental health issues and I've known her long enough to know when she is faking an episode or just
Chapter 144EllieWhen Billie threw the glass at me, I had tried to block it with my hand and I felt this money because it's shattered on my wrist cutting me slightly. I was bleeding, but it wasn't that bad compared to the pain I was feeling and my lower abdomen. The baby was still kicking and it was excited,but I wasn't I was in pain.It was no blood on my thighs or legs which could only mean that my body was preparing itself for what was coming. I needed to calm down because I could sense Max's panic from where I was . I gained my balance still up and looked at a really angry Billie . Everyone was quiet." Billie I don't know what I did to make you hate me so much all I've done is the best that I can do to be a sister to you , and take care of you and Blake . "Billie looked at me blazing with anger. Max saw the way she was looking at me and stoo
