Chapter 160
Max
There has always been something about Paul that I didn't like. I have never liked the way he looked at Ellie like she is a piece of meat , I've never liked the way he objectified her when she wasn't around , and I've never liked the way he dangles the fact that he can get what he wants when he wants it . If he sees something he likes he will get it doing whatever it takes and he won't care who he hurts in the process .
I have a meeting with him today and Blake is driving me to the office. I know that my girlfriend isn't in the office today but I don't want to also give it away that we had an argument yesterday with regards to her accusing me of fathering a child that I neglected.
I would never do that to any child of mine more specifically I would never abandon Eleanor and our baby. I know that Paul it's going to do everything in his power to make s
Chapter 161MaxI looked at Paul and smirked." Paul I have a loving girlfriend who adores me and I adore her. She's the one who reminded me that I have to come to the meeting we scheduled yesterday but didn't happen because I had a family emergency. As you can see I'm still hurt and it was an injury on duty that has made me useless unless you want to get me fired which is highly unlikely I suggest you be clear about everything with regards to appointments meetings and what I need to do for work."Paul looked at me and as busy as Paulina Killian and Amy were busy on their phone, they stopped what they were doing and they looked at me what's a shock. First of all, I got hurt while I was on duty which means that pool is paying for everything from recovery to the day I get back to work. I want to work with my dad but right now I think Blake was right about doing everything Paul s
Chapter 162EllieI thought coming back home would bring me a little bit of peace and I could hear myself think. I was wrong. When I got off the plane and salmon I got to talking Daniel just happened to be at the same restaurant as we were eating it. He was supposed to be on an international trip but Salvatore had taken a flight out of the country the night before. I did notice that there wasn't himself and when he came to sit with Samuel and me I knew why.Sam has asked me if I could give him a job. He is a sports lawyer and he's a pretty good one at that. If Paul was buying the Rossi sports division I think he would like to keep him. I didn't buy his story about Paul trying to use him to buy my company and change it to Paul Stone. I did say before that I was protected and that included being under the Luca Corp umbrella.Sam might be fun to hang out with, but he's a pretty bad liar for a lawyer he's respected and loved by h
Chapter 163Elle eI was never friends with my cousin. We've always been civil towards each other but we've never been best friends. Mainly because she didn't treat me funny when you're at school. She was part of the mean girl's clique, and I was always with the book- smart people.We were both from the same family but seriously from different worlds. I never imagined being betrayed by family, but it happened to me, and it happened in the worst way.What's Sandra always wanted she always got. It didn't matter who was on the highway or who wanted to stop her she got what she wanted at any cost. I think that's why Dexter is well for her. She has always been ruthless and heartless but now that she has two daughters she is changing day by day. Ever since I found out about her sleeping with my boyfriend before we got together in her defense, I didn't know how to feel. There is such a thing as
Chapter 164MaxToday is the day before my birthday. Last year this time I had pissed off my girlfriend to the point where she didn't want to talk to me. I had kissed another woman on her cousin's wedding day and I just want a purpose to wish you didn't wanna answer me I got a question that I thought was important.I want to have a great birthday because last year a couple of days after my birthday we lost someone close to both of us. I still miss Raphael to this day but I think that he is with us in everything we do.As predicted by Blake; the meeting went the way Paul wanted it to go. He did use my father as a weapon against me. Even if he has more qualifications and he has more experience and even if he was the best of the best he still would have said that his medical team was the best and that I should be recovering the club's medical team. I don't trust anyone on the medical team an
Chapter 165EllieI love family dinners. They give you the chance to appreciate family and the ones you love . Set a reminder that you're not alone; someone's always got your back, you will be always cared for no matter how much trouble would you get into, and someone always has your back through every circumstance. By the time Sandra left with her baby girl Daniel came downstairs and showed me a diary that I thought I had hidden from everybody's eyes except for Max. It was my baby diary that I put my thoughts in ; after the accident that almost cost me my life and a part of my memory.The last diary entry was about Daniel and what my feelings were for him and how I came to the decision to choose Maxwell over him. It was never an easy decision to make because I had known Dan since I was in my diapers. Although I had no recollection of my heart weak erection of me because he grew up with my brother and he was always
Chapter 166EllieThe one thing you can always be sure of about hospitals especially when you are hurt is that; you always end up in a room that is sterile and the only thing you can hear is the sound of your heartbeat and a heart monitor and you can hear yourself breathing. Of the times that I've landed in hospital; I've always found comfort in thinking about the ocean or listening to songs about the ocean. Songs about water are very calming in their way. I've always loved; Florence and the Machine, Ceremonials is one of my favorite albums. It is hauntingly beautiful. It's a brand that's able to bring out both your dark, and light side and make them friends with each other.The thing about quiet spaces that are sterile is that; there is nothing to do but reflect on everything that you've been through. It can be both terrifying and reflective. The terrifying part can be the unfamiliar territory that you find yourse
Chapter 167MarcWhen I receive the call from Daniel that Ellie was in the hospital, it felt like I had been punched and the stomach. First of all, I wanted to make peace with Ellie and hopefully find some common ground with her with regards to what we had been fighting about. Secondly, I didn't tell her the full extent of the nature of my friendship with Sandra.As soon as Blake drove me to the hospital, I couldn't run in even though I wanted to just sprint it to where Daniel; Abraham, and to my surprise Sandra was there when I hobbled into the waiting room. I've known Sandra for a while now and when she looked at me I knew that something was wrong. I got here Daniel and an argument with one of the doctors and he is the type to sell them argue he knows what he's doing and he's a professional but it was the first time that I've seen him lose it.When I asked Abe what was going on he
Chapter 168MaxI was in the mood to accept anything that Ellie told me. I was in a forgiving mood and have taxable married which is rough for me because I am a stubborn man with one exception the only exception has always and will be my baby love. I watched her pick up and fees him. He must have known I was around because he was asleep a couple of minutes ago. My boy takes after me and I wouldn't have it another way. I stretched my hands and Ellie kissed Axe and handed him to me. I put him on my chest and he started falling asleep." I'm jealous that it doesn't take you long to get him to calm down. "I looked at my girlfriend and I saw that she was a bit sad and frustrated."What's wrong ?""I'm a mother and I am so grateful to God and his angels for blessing me with a beautiful baby boy. "" Is it because you wanted a girl?"
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
