Chapter 140
Max
I 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 145MaxIt has been a while since have woke up next to Ellie, with Daniel around I thought that she was going to leave me after dinner, but she didn't do instead stayed and endured dinner with my sister who hates her for no apparent reason, and my brother who has seen the error of his ways and now loves her to bits and pieces.When Ellie eventually came out of the bathroom she has swollen eyes that were bloodshot red. It was an indication that she was hurting and my sister had caused it. I love my little sister, but I will not tolerate her antagonizing my girlfriend who is soon going to be my fiance. Daniel left after dinner and had a conversation with Ellie which I wasn't a part of but I knew it was serious because she was quiet for the remainder of the evening when we turned in for the night.I don't like having injuries. The last time an injury of this nature happened I was out for a long time and I was in pain, both physically and emotionally.
Chapter 146MaxEllie looked at me and she took a deep breath without a word he walked around the mess I made and she came and sit next to me. Her body wash smelled like roses , and I have to admit that I missed everything about your knee while I was away in hospital. He wasn't saying a word which was in turn giving me if you feelings about where her head was at but her body language told me that she was calm and she wasn't freaking out at all.I turned around to look at her and she smiled."I thought you were gonna lose it and tell me that I have not changed and that I need to go to rehab because I'm back on painkillers again.""You told me that you could explain and now I'm giving you a chance so please honey explain yourself?"Ellie give me an Inquisitive look and the tone of voice was one of concern.my leg is really itchy and I really needed anti-aging sp
Chapter 147EllieIf there is one thing that I know about trauma is that; too much trauma can sneak up on you at the worst of times. When you think everything is going well and nothing can stand in your way and you've got a handle on everything the slightest trigger could set you off in the worst of ways.I still have nightmares about the day I was thrown in the river. I don't think Dexter acted alone when he attacked me. If Max was having memories of the person who he thought was his father throwing bodies into the river, then I think Dexter was working together with Jeremiah to get back at Max.As if this morning wasn't hectic enough with Max going into shellshock, I have to deal with Paul calling me and asking me if I am free to go out with him tonight. I still haven't answered him and the answer to any question he has that is not work-related will always be a no. I managed to ge
Chapter 148MaxOn a day when I felt like everything was going normally and okay, something just had to go wrong , and by that I mean that I didn't anticipate what happened to happen.After Ellie left in the morning said goodbye. I walked her out toher car and made sure that she was okay , before she drove off to the office. I wanted to talk to my father because I knew we didn't have a lot of time. My sister and my mother were not in the room, that's because they were packing for their spar day. I had booked them a spa day at one of the hotels that where not under the Luca umbrella.If someone from the Luca family was after Ellie and me they would attack the people I love in familiar places, where it would be easier for them to cover up. I still didn't trust Daniel and it wasn't because he was still friends with Ellie , but it was because he was a Luca. That family can stay clean. I learnedd it the hard way. If the Mass
