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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
