Ellie
I'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

Chapter 228MaxI hate messing up where my fiance is concerned. I've been good for the past couple of weeks but proving that I've been cleaning and I haven't been doing anything dodgy is proving to be harder than finding a way to explain that I've only ever been there for the people that I call my friends. I get why Eleanor doesn't want me to see more of Paulina because she has an unhealthy obsession with me. I know I punched her boyfriend and that was a stupid thing to do but now I feel as if I've made a mess of things and I don't know how to clean it up.We had a restaurant in the building which meant that I was going to meet my teammates during lunch or after the press conference. I was still unsure if Ellie and me were still going away for the weekend to my mother's cabin. In all honesty we needed time away from everyone and everything that was going on. Since Paulina was working with the junior team she wasn't going

Chapter 229MaxThere is a certain between breaking up with someone and trying to find yourself and figure out who you are full stop after I broke up with Ellie 10 years ago, I thought that I had lost it all. Do it was that I had lost it all and I don't know how to deal with the fact that I might have messed up a good girl and a great relationship. You can have it all but to keep everything running at an optimal level is another thing altogether. There is a reason why we have a bell-shaped graph, or in some cases a rollercoaster graph. I can relate to the latter because it feels as if my life it's a rollercoaster.I don't know why Garry had something against me but now that his brother has confessed to me that I did something wrong to him back then when I was starting as a player, he still hasn't forgiven me for what I did, I understand why. I also wouldn't like myself back then I was a class A arse. Mo

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. 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
