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
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. That was one of the best days of my life because you admitted strawberry ice cr
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. As soon as we walked in we were offered something to eat and drink but I don't have the first to drink anything in all the appetite
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
