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
Chapter 374 Ellie I locked eyes with him, placed my spoon down, I placed both the palms of my hands on either side of his jaw and kissed him. "I have always had the fear of you leaving me and us not getting back together again. We almost lost it all but we fought to get to every year and I don't want us to not be with each other and have each other's backs when we're down. I know that sometimes our Lives can get hectic and thank you for forgiving me for what I did with Matteo. We both don't want to risk losing the people we loved and it seems as if Paulina is in love with you." "That may be true but my heart belongs to you I love you and I will never stop loving you you went when I was with other people I could think about was you so we also have something that we did together in that binds us so nice and I will never forget the day that we had our binding rooms done together at the same tattoo parlor. That was one of the best days of my life because you admitted strawberry ice cr
Chapter 373 Ellie I've been in pain before both emotionally and physically but combined it's a different kind of pain. Pain has levels that transcends by either triggers or events that trigger the same sensation that you felt before. It's like seasonal trauma but on a bigger scale because you feel it physically and you also feel that emotionally and no matter how hard you try not to feel like you always end up feeling it because it's meant to be felt. I always said that if you have torrents for paying you can tolerate anything, any blow that hits you or any fall that you suffer. I didn't expect what would happen. It wasn't supposed to happen if I had just said that I wasn't pregnant and just kept quiet and walked away instead of letting my ego get the better of me. I had to help my territory. Paulina needed to know that what she was doing was wrong. I already admitted to wrongdoing by trying to stop her friendship with my fiance from blooming because I was afraid of losing him
Chapter 372 Max By the time we made it to the hospital we had to enter another section of the hospital which was in the main entrance. I was a betting man. I'd say that these people have sections of hospitals everywhere they have wings .even when I traveled abroad with Daniel he had to go see a friend of his who was involved in a shooting that he wasn't supposed to be involved in and the level of security clearance was out of this world I had never seen security clearance like that and me being a football player which of course I'd need to get back to playing football our security clearance is nothing compared to the security clearance these guys have to get you have to be identified you have to know that you will be searched and the people that are searching you have to know that you're coming so for me to be tagging along with Fabio was a miracle. As soon as we walked in we were offered something to eat and drink but I don't have the first to drink anything in all the appetite
Chapter 371 Max have you ever been connected to someone so much so that you know that when something is wrong you can feel it in your blood bones and everything including your soul and you wonder if it might be something good or might be something bad or maybe it's just your mind playing tricks on you but I believe that when you are connected with someone and you've created love with someone you can feel when something is a bit off or something is wrong and in my case I did feel that something was off when I got taken away all of the sudden when I organised a meeting between Romano and Claudio. however understand reason why it happened but what I don't understand is the way I'm feeling right now because if you deserve the right has been pulled out from under me and I don't know how to react how to respond or 38 I don't know how you feel because I cannot comprehend how I feel everything was going ok I knew that the person that I loved and my loved ones are ok but all of the sudden t
Chapter 370MaxwellI don't like being hurt preferably I would love to do the hair thing because I know that I I'm getting something out of it I'm getting cathartic experience but the only thing I like getting as a punching bag which of course I love hurting because it doesn't fight back and it's just there for me to take out my frustration but when somebody takes out their frustration when you turn extent it's called abuse if you allow it to happen on a constant basis but in this case it wasn't to be my best friend who I really appreciate right now and I am happy and Proud to call a friend.I have to say that he pulled a number on me I'm in pain and I'm recovering from The Blues that he told me to make it look like I was involved in an attack this guy's a professional at what he does and I didn't have any makeup so he made it look like it was very young and I have been coming for a little while I don't know how he does it but he's a genius and I'm thinking that Daniel bought the fact
Chapter 369 Ellie The worst thing about setting up a meeting is if the person who set up the meeting doesn't pitch for the meeting and were civil and swine you know that the meeting is very important to both parties because it has to do with me marrying someone who requested for a meeting that I so wanted and now he's not here to eat the fruits of his labor. I'm still confused as to why Maxwell decided to have cold feet and not come to the party he's not the type of guy to chicken out of something that he said that he would do he's always been dependable and he's always been directed deliberate and intentional so for him to do what he did at a very important time of my life and at a time when I needed him the most is sort of out of character because it's not the guy that I've come to know and it's not the man that I thought and mind you thought being the operative word I was going to marry. I had to focus on the positives if I was still confused at how things had turned out and if
Chapter 368Max I'd like to believe that I'm not a skeptic but that would be lying. I know for a fact that I am a skeptical person because sometimes people don't always tell the truth, sometimes they just do and they sometimes make it into something that they want you to believe. There are always three sides to a story. I will say that there's always four sides to every story, there's the part that you hear, there's the part that the other person has to tell, the part that people believe is their own opinion of the truth and then the one that balances all is the real truth. When somebody says something it is always right to ask the person that they are talking about if what you heard was true if you don't it means that you choose to believe the truth that the other person who's lying told you and then you have to either verify the truth or believe the truth or someone else's version of the truth instead of hearing it from the horse's mouth. Deep down I knew for a fact that Matteo Ma
Chapter 367 Ellie If there's one thing that I don't want and one thing I don't want to go through again is the same hurt that I felt when Maxwell left me. You can love someone and give your all in a relationship but if the trust is not there then there's something that's missing people often say they trust is like a plate once you break it you can't put it back together but I beg to differ because once you break a plate it's up to you if you sweep up the pieces burn them making your plate it's ceramic for crying out loud so why would you not want to fix what was once broken and see if this person is capable of changing because everyone is capable of change if they want to change and if they are changing for the right person because if someone refuses to change they can actually limit the growth I always say a person who doesn't want to change as like a stagnant water , if doesn't move it can harbor filth. Water like blood is a life force. It's constantly moving and it's constantly
Chapter 366Maxyou know very well when you're about to go play a match whatever you have is enough to get you through the performance, whatever you wear and what every feeling you have means. I normally work through the nerves and of the times that I've been nervous my go-to thought all my go to safe place has always been the person that I want to marry and it turned out to be the person that I am engaged to right now. I've had nerves and I've had instances where I don't feel confident about the game I'm going to play but the only way to beat that is to have safe thoughts recently it has been only my son and my fiance but now I've got more things to think about than the usual soccer game and a performance that I have to put on. This is one of those days when I am not supposed to put on a performance because if I couldn't performance they are going to pick it up and if I act all weird they are still going to pick it up so the only thing to do is to act normal around both men who are
