Chapter 219
Ellie
The last thing I ever wanted was to be stuck in traffic . I don't like to be stuck in traffic especially Johannesburg traffic because it is terrible . There is sometimes no flow when it comes to car movement and or in some cases, there is no movement for 30 minutes and then you've got a mean Time because you're going to be delayed for a meeting that you need to attend or run into you that you need to make it to. On days like this I wish that; Daniel was around , to fly me around with his chopper. I haven't talked to him in a while and that was out of respect for my fiance. I don't feel bad but I really do miss him and I miss our friendly chats, and other things we used to do as friends excluding the amazing sex we had but it doesn't compare to the kind of love making and soul reviving sex Max and I make . The purpose of love making is not only for pleasure , but in my opinion it's when two souls come
Chapter 220MaxThe worst thing about having an infection , is not knowing that you have an infection until your body tells you something is wrong . If you ignore the symptoms which is what I did , your body will function normally until one day when you think everything is fine , your body prints out the receipt of the things you've done to it and how much it's going to cost you to pay it back .Training for the past couple of days has been difficult for me but I brushed off the pain in as a pulled muscle it turns out that I had a bacterial infection and the whole team needed to be tested to see if they didn't picked up the same bug I did. I swear I was fine and I just pray to God that I didn't infect anybody else including my baby love Ellie. I still want to make love to her but I really needed to focus on getting better and that in itself is proving to be a mission. On the day that I
Chapter 221EllieI'm officially in crisis management Mahmood. I'm managing crisis after crisis because I don't know what decision Maxwell has made about his future and the club. I try not to discuss work at all at home but it seems like since I have been working from home and not from the office to take care of Max I'm putting out more fires than on a normal day.It's been 4 weeks and this week has officially been hard for me because everything has been going on. If it wasn't my baby boy suffering from an ear infection it was the sponsors calling me and asking me if I'm actually staying in the club and should they take their brand somewhere else or where Maxwell is going. It's not that I am afraid of sponsors pulling out. It's just that I don't want my business to fail, more specifically this one because it's fairly new. I also don't want one player to be the face of the club, and Paul agrees with me. It's not fair to single out one person and not i
Chapter 222MaxI can't be mad at Ellie no matter how hard I try. She has her reasons for doing things and I wished I had listened to her when she told me that I shouldn't sign for Stone football Club. She's always looked out for me and had my best interest at heart even though we were fighting or not talking to each other she made sure that I was ok indirectly in not directly. I just found out that she owns 50% and Paul only owns the second-largest portion of the club the rest is owned by investors who are only interested in the bottom line and that's what's been stressing Ellie.I'd like to believe that I don't have that much power or influence over her things are on but at the end of the day the soccer business is cutthroat and you have to be made of strong stuff to survive. When Ellie told me that she was having a difficult time with regards to me keeping my decision to either leave or stay at the club secret a
Chapter 223EllieWhen Maxwell told me that; Salvatore and Dexter were released from captivity I was scared but also courageous I don't know what you call that feeling when you are scared but you are ready to confront or face the fear that has been bothering you for the longest of times. The runaway can be your worst and best enemy wise man once told me that fear is courage under pressure so without further cannot be any courage and without courage you wouldn't be able to overcome. See I can be a stepping stone that can push us to being courageous and overcoming what has held us captive for the longest of times.As soon as Maxwell went to his training with Brent, I sent his contract through to Paul and the other board members and coordinating the contract they had stated that if he wants to extend he could extend but if you wanted to go we could go depending on what season we were in and if it w
Chapter 224 Max There are days when ask myself if the relationship I mean where's my fiance is ever going to last. I have made it clear to her that I really fear losing what I already have , and this case my main primary fear is losing Ellie and our son. I've also become good friends with a woman she doesn't like me being friends with and I need to be clear to her out my intentions with Paulina and what's the nature of my relationship . I thought she was going to freak out about Salvatore being around but she has been friends with him for the longest of times it's so I knew that he wouldn't hurt her and they would actually talk instead of speak to each other. If I were to speak to him at he end up punching the living daylights out of him so rather my fiance than me speak to him and set him straight. I don't think I was clear about my fight with Paulina's boyfriend. She was supposed to go on a date with her and she was running late and she had called him a
Chapter 225 Ellie I can't remember the last time I went on a date with Max. The past couple of weeks have been hard on me and harder my relationship but I'm taking everything as it comes cause I know that everything I have with him is worth the fight. Salvatore, I offered to do my hair after I told him that I was going on a date with my fiance. I respectfully declined because I don't want his hands anywhere near me or my hair. Even though my hair is natural and it is manageable regardless of how I wear it he wouldn't understand it. My headbands get frizzy because it's naturally curly, and even though I have days where I process my hair with chemicals to make it look straight or put on hair extensions, I prefer it curly and unruly natural. I do remember the last time I allowed him to touch my head it's good at playing mind games but he's not good at doing my hair at all. Salvatore is adventurous, but I'm nowhere near as adventurous as he is. Like his bro
Chapter 226MaxI've never thought of ever setting up a pick-nick on top of a swimming pool but thanks to Brent; the idea was doable and I think that it paid off because; Ellie was totally surprised when she opened her eyes. The roses too were a nice touch to the setting and I was thinking I was going to make a mess of things with regards to this date but I didn't.Ellie and I had a beautiful evening that was enlightening. When we sat down and had our first course she made it clear that she doesn't want to discuss anything she wants to discuss with us being together and working through whatever the hell is bothering us. I've seen her relaxed before and it's a refreshing feeling to see her not worry about something that might go wrong. I know that she misses our son and hell yeah, I miss Axel too I tried to be there for him in whichever way I can, but right now y actions have cost
Chapter 227EllieI understand the business of football I've worked long and hard enough to know when something can bring you in a lot of money and when you just wasting your time and you need to let someone go. At the end of the day the bottom line needs to make sense and the numbers need to add up before our people yes but at the end of the day they too and by there I mean our players provide a service to us that adds value tower Club. As much as I am about numbers I'm also by people.I have to make sure that everybody salaries are paid on time, everyone signing the club contract knows what they're signing up for and what they are getting themselves into. I also have to fact-check double-check credentials references and players histories. Paul was going to sign Max whether I liked it or not and he had the board by his side only have so much control over the club but I think that the decision that Paul made was the best decision that he
