Chapter 237
Ellie
I sometimes feel like I'm always playing catch-up where Max is concerned. One minute he's all open and telling me everything that I need to know and how he feels and why he's feeling the way you feeling and then the next moment I found out something that he was keeping from me so he is keeping information from me and turns out to every crucial information.
As soon as I came through from the study I heard him talking to someone. I couldn't figure out who it was but when he started talking about work and keeping things professional I figured that he was talking to Paulina. I like to pull in at the first, but now I just don't like her, I don't know when he met Matteo but she has gone from being the sweetest person to being mean-spirited and greedy. She wants her she can't have and she thinks that she's entitled to everything regardless of whether or not she worked for it. I know that Matteo has been
Chapter 338 Max I keep on flashing back to the time Raphael fell ill and when we lost him. I don't know if I'm cursed never to be happy again or, never to enjoy fatherhood again. I swear in my life that my baby boy was okay when I put him down. If there was any sign in when are symptoms of him having an infection I would have seen the change. When Ellie and I got to him; he was running a fever and he looked pale. I was also having difficulty breathing. I was happy to have Daniel around because he was a doctor and he knew immediately what to do when he saw Axel unwell. We ended up going to the hospital, hospital Daniel was a pediatrician and a pretty damn good one at that even though I wish he was back to being on call so that he could spend less time with Ellie. However, I understand why he has to be around Ellie and Axel given the recent turn of events. Daniel b
Chapter 339 Ellie I don't like it when I fall asleep when I was supposed to stay awake. If I had fallen asleep when I'm supposed to say working instead I was stressing myself too much, alright had a lot going on and my body just decided to switch itself off to recharge. I don't like it when my baby boy is sick and it's happened before when I wasn't around this time I am around and I want him to get well I don't want him to be sick. We had taken him to the hospital because he had a chest infection. As much as I wanted to go to Cape Town to go sort out what was going on I had to stay up in Johannesburg with my son and whatever Matteo was looking for he wasn't going to find it. If I'm asked to hide something and make sure that everything is hidden and it stays where it's supposed to be in a place that is hidden so, at the point where Max has made a mess of things, I had to clean up the mess, I didn't feel like t
Chapter 340 Max Axel has always been a fighter. I know who he takes it was inspired from because I thought that last night it's going to be a very sad night for me or everything that has been going on. I had discussed everything with regards to my own worst wedding with Sandra with Daniel and in the middle of our conversation, a message came in with an unsavory headline. By 6:00 in the morning before I left to go to work I ended up having to write an I*******m post telling everyone to give my fiance and me some privacy with regards to their personal life. I don't meddle in theirs so there shouldn't be meddling in mine. I ended the post by sending love to all of the people who have been supporting me and sending my son well wishes. I knew that I was doing the office by 9:00 in the morning so what I did was make a stop at home I went to go get it cleaned up and dress informal clothing because it was a meeting that Jimmy and I had to attend, I also packed a coup
Chapter 241 Ellie I don't like pretending that I'm tough, all that everything is ok. I know that I'm going through the most right now, but I'm taking every challenge it comes because if I focus on the negatives of what's going on I'm going to lose my mind which could trigger a whole lot of feelings of melancholy. I like to be in control of things but lately, it seems like everything is burning out of control and I don't know how to stop it. I was supposed to be attending the voting meeting today. I suggested that it would be taken fairly so that the team and everybody else would be satisfied and happy with the outcome. If it was up to me I would have told everyone that the board's decision is final and what we decided was the best choice and final choice... but I can't do that. Everything I do is never about me I'm always not thinking about someone else and it's always someone who needs my h
Chapter 242 Max I've had a day from hell and I don't know how In heaven's name my life became so complicated to the point that even my teammates don't want me as their leader. I still don't know if the captain of the team or not that decision hasn't been made but the vote has been taken. I can't wait for myself and Jacob to convert for himself so he was the one vying for the position I had. I don't know if this whole captaincy thing is worth fighting for. I'm not the face of the club I've never thought of myself as a one-man army. The team is made of players and it takes players to make a team. So we are on the field workers and you know it and that in turn makes us look like we are United and we are all there to achieve one goal and that is to make sure we do what needs to be done which is score goals get points to get paid and get on with life. The stuff in between shouldn't matter and if
Chapter 343 Ellie I'm always sure when I make decisions and when I agree to do something. I've always been meticulous in my decision-making and I think that this time I might have missed the mark. I knew when Max called that; you wanted to talk about what was going on with regards to the voting process that was taking place at the office. I was a bit sad that I couldn't be there to come to his defense but I knew that he was a fighter and you would get through whatever he was going through. I didn't want to be mean to him or tell him that I wasn't interested in anything that was going on Paul was keeping me informed. I knew at some point that our personal life was going to be dragged into the spotlight and everything I've been through was going to be illuminated subtly. Part of me knew that the only defense Max had was being vulnerable and that he didn't do things half, you want the whole nine yard
Chapter 244 Ellie I looked at Billie and tried to at least not make her panic or worry about me using Max. Axel was getting a bit restless and I knew that he wanted to sleep so I picked him up and held him within seconds he was calm. " Billie I could never and I mean never do that to Maxwell. I know that there was a period when we didn't speak to each other and I avoided him as much as I could. That didn't mean that I didn't miss him because I missed him. " "Then why do I get the feeling that you want to call off the engagement? " I took a deep breath because I don't want to wake Axel up. He needed his rest and he needed to recover from what had happened I looked at her and I shook my head. It was written all over her face that she thought that I was going to end things with her brother forget and move on to someone new le
Chapter 245 Max I have always known. How to turn things and make them work in my favor. I have always been a fighter and I've always known how to fight for what's mine and fight for what was right. Ellie has always been my anchor and biggest supporter but during the meeting, I realized that I had put her in a compromising situation. She had a lot on her plate with regards to running the club and seeing that everything was in order and everyone is on board with whatever decisions needed to be made. The vote was taken again for me to either be a captain or not. It was a tiebreaker and I needed to win. When I found out that I had the majority of the road there was one word that was left and that was Ellie's vote. Since Juan Diego wasn't around Paul was in contact with Ellie. I knew very well that; she was having a very long day, it was only Paul who read the results and submitted Ellie's vote did I f
