Chapter 165
Ellie
I 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 169EllieI want to find a place that I can call home and it's becoming very clear that; the only places I call home are the places I own away from the people who claim to be my family.The only person who has ever been honest about what his true intentions are about my relationship with their son is Romano. He has always been clear and direct that if I decided to get together with Daniel he would support it and that didn't mean that he didn't like Maxwell . He in fact did like Maxwell and when I had a conversation with him a couple of days ago when he came to visit me and Axel , he told me that he would support me in anyway if I wanted to break away from my grandfather .Truth be told I has already decided to do my own thing by starting my own business . The only thing that I had of Abraham's was the lake house that I asked for and that was it. I had my attorney deal with w
Chapter 170EllieIf there is one thing I know about Max and one thing that I am certain of is that; he knows how to keep a secret, and when he has a surprise he displays the highest degree of self control. Be it emotional, mental, or physically, he has a way of promising something will happen or that he would do something and not go into detail about the dynamics of how he is going to execute the task .I think that's why I loved him back then and right now because he is a man of his word and when he does something he does it with intent and conviction .To prove the point I just made ;Max didn't even take a shower with me . He just blew me a kiss when I went into the bathroom and went back to sleep . When I came out he was fast asleep, or pretending to be , I couldn't tell the difference with him.As much as I was his weakness; he was both
Chapter 171MaxI'm usually good at hiding things but when it comes to Ellie ; I have to have to always think ahead. I don't admit to a lot of things but I will admit to the fact that ; Ellie is my kryptonite and I felt bad about leaving her this morning without any warning , Blake was driving me and he was taking me to the hospital to get my cast removed .I had been doing my exercises and I had been serious about getting back on track and playing soccer.I wasn't going to be doing any strenuous exercises and I was staying at home until pre-season in January. I had time to spend with my girlfriend and my baby boy. I already miss them ,more specifically I miss Axel. To think I was jealous of him and I knew that Ellie was carrying a boy because I felt the same way when my mother was carrying Blake and Billie.I love my baby boy and I would do anything for him . It didn't take that long for the doctor to remove my cast and as soon as he rem
Chapter 172MaxI looked at Abe and shook my head .One of his men opened the door and walked in." Your men don't intimidate me. Clearly you're angry about something and you're in denial that ; you're sick, and it's not fair to keep it from Ellie. She loves you even though she is big mad at you for what happened . "" I'm not perfect . "" It was something preventable. ""I failed at keeping her away from you ."I looked at the guard and pointed to the door but he stood still ." Ellie loves me and I love her . Why is it so hard to accept that she chose me instead of Daniel who I am friends with by the way. "" Daniel was supposed to be the one who was supposed to marry Eleanor and then you cane along . "" What would it take for you to believe me . "" You don't deserve Ellie. ""Let her be the judge of that . "&nbs
Chapter 173EllieDaniel has always been my best friend. He has been with me through the good ; the bad , the ugly, thick , think , pregnant , not pregnant and everything in between. I would have never imagined him lying to me to cover up something so important who lie to me about something that is really important . Maxwell also lied to me and I feel like the only person who has been telling me the truth is Dexter.When Daniel came to me with a sad face, I knew he was fighting a losing battle because of his inability to keep up a pretence. part of me also knew that the only thing that could get him to be so sad was if someone he loved all care about was in jeopardy I'll be the losing their lives or in a bad space. I knew that my grandfather had not been well. I also knew that the time I had with him wasn't limited and being mad at him for so long get never work. He is after all family and
