Ellie
Going through something traumatic can alter how you go about your daily life routine. For the past couple of weeks I have been on edge. I had ignored all of my boyfriend's calls and texts, I even went as far as going off social media for a while. I couldn't get over the events that had transpired; and seeing Dexter with Sandra just made me snap to the point where I just couldn't deal.
The great news was that; I was slowly recovering , Max had bought a house an hour away from home and it was at the Luca estate. The house was huge compared to the cottage cabin like feel of the lake house. I love the lake house cabin because I can wake up to the mountain view and the window seat that overlooks the lake . I can sit and work until I get reminded that it's time to call it a day.
Maxwell had paid attention to everything, the bathroom was a his and hers bathroom, so was the closet . He had even stocked
MaxI love working in my home town. The most amazing thing about being back home is that I don't feel like I always have to fight to get recognized. There is a peace that comes with knowing that you are appreciated for what you do. More often than not I feel like the world is against me. I have had an epic career on the pitch both internationally and domestically.I always knew I wanted to come back home . The most miraculous thing is that ; I am in love again with my first love and it's even better than the first time. Ellie telling me she was pregnant was life changing. I was never selfish when it came to her, and now more than ever what's mine is hers , heart ,body ,mind and soul. I just need to rack up the courage to ask her to marry me. She is it for me. The meeting with the board took longer than expected and my phone was off for the duration of the meeting .By the time I was briefed on what my job was with regards
Six weeks laterEllie.There is something about water that reminds me about the yingyang theory. Simply put ; through every good there is bad and through every bad there is good. Every element has its strengths and weaknesses. The same force that gives life, can be the same thing that can cause destruction.The sea or any body of water can be your worst enemy and your best friend. The ebb and flow of the ocean reminds us to; let go and breath in and out. Same concept applies with sex. Sex is powerful. It is a transfer of energy between two people who love each other on all levels used to create life. Any transfer of energy has a price ... The same transfer of energy used to create, can be the same energy used to destroy.I didn't have my guard up when I went to the family home. I didn't expect Dexter to just snap and attack me brutally . The last thing I remember was being c
MaxIt has been three long weeks . The sports event that Ellie and I organized had come and gone with a game played in her honor. The only reason I hung up my boots was because I wanted to be home more often and spend time with Eleanor and the baby. We have no baby and Ell seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. The Luca's can't find her too. Daniel said he would ask his brother in law to be for his help. He also invited me to their wedding. I have the dream job; but I am incomplete. I can feel it in my heart that Ellie is alive. With the technology we have I don't understand why we can't find her. I won't stop searching . Daniel was invited to dinner with an old friend, Brent. They lived in the Massa estate which was two hours away. They went to medical school together and their father's are great friends. I wasn't eating well and I needed to get out for a bit. Salvatore was away on business so I had no one to talk to .The lake house
EllieI said my full name. I cannot believe I said my full name to a stranger. What is wrong with me ? Andrea is an angel . I am Eleanor. Something about the guy she came with felt safe ; secure and it felt like home . Andrea looked at both of us and smiled . We both smiled back and she said;"I need more tea, be right back ."I looked at the guy again and without hesitation he kissed me . My body knew him because against everything inside me saying run , my heart told me to stay and get to know Maxwell . He was crying when he pulled back ."Oh I believe in miracles.""Me too. Are you okay?""Hmm .""Should I know you? I was involved in an accident and I have no recollection of who I was."" I do . You are my girlfriend ."I took a deep breath and sat down" I am your what now?"My heart was strangely calm ." Girlfriend."I looked at him" Prove
MaxI worry about Ellie . I seriously do. She's come back home and she had a welcome back home party. Sandra has had a change of heart towards her since she recently spoke out about Dexter and his threats. Sandra has actually moved away to raise her daughter in a different province . Salvatore was nice enough to get her a new Identity, and oh my ex Betty is going on baby number two with Garry. He deserves whatever he has coming to him. He has aged within a couple of months and he comes to my office to complain day in and day out about Betty and how she constantly stresses him . I am just thankful I dodged a bullet . Ellie remembers us and she is doing okay . She mentioned again this morning that; I look like my father and it doesn't scare her anymore. If I want to grow my beard I can...While she was in the shower t I went through her phone. Her password was my name and my birth date. I know this because I asked her and she told me. Marc had been ta
EllieSometimes love isn't enough. I say this with a heavy heart because I remember that I hit lights out last night, and the reason I am regretting my life choices is because I may have hurt the man I love . What was supposed to be an open conversation turned out to be a judgmental session and I was the one who ended up hurt , because of the bullets Maxwell was shooting from his mouth. I had gone through hell with Dexter before. I didn't care if we broke up because I didn't love him completely and he didn't have my heart. I care at the moment because the person I hurt has always had my heart and It feels as if I have not only lost my best friend , but teammate. I woke up on Saturday morning with the mother of all hangovers in my bedroom at the family home. I was wearing the dress I had on the day before , which was a v neck LBD . I looked at my mirror and I looked as good as I felt... like hell . I got cleaned up and went downstairs , the ki
MaxNo matter how hard Ellie tries to hide something ; I always find it be it , physically or emotionally , I poke until she comes out with it. She suggested we go to Saturday mass instead of Sunday because, the gossip and rumor mill was turning. She ended her friendship with Maria and I couldn't be more happier. She has also found a new friend in Cleo who happens to live in the same Estate as we do. She is Daniel's sister , who is in love with Angelo Massa . I have never liked any Massa , but Ellie invited them to the house warming this Saturday which was tomorrow. I am friends with Salvatore and it will remain that way. During guys night out yesterday Daniel invited him . He already popped the question to Cleo and she is six months pregnant with a baby girl. They also have twins. I have met Pio and Pia; they are both adorable and Pio seems to like me more than her sister who is shy. I try not to cry but I do that when Ellie is fast asleep. I go downstairs to t
Chapter 28EllieI've had nightmares before; but not as intense and as real as the one I had a couple of hours ago. I hadn't told Maxwell that I had a run in with his father at the fresh produce market. I had driven back into my home town and touched base at the orphanage before I went to go get some milk, cheese, vegetable and fruits. I didn't recognize him until I bought a milk tart Max always loved when we were young. His father's family owned a farm and mass produced various deserts including my favourite blue berry cheesecake. Max's aunt Maxine was always at the stall and we had a great relationship . Even when Jeremiah went off the rails , we still talked. Maxwell's relationship with her wasn't okay and that worried me. He wouldn't talk to me about it then and now he has a habit of closing off and going cold. I was feeling iffy about telling him. I was planning to talk to him over dinner before we prepped for lunch tomorrow. I ne
