Chapter 255
ElliAs far as weekends go this has been the most weirdest and upsetting. It was weird in the sense that; for the first time in a long time I felt that I was sleeping next to a stranger and not the man I loved. I spent the rest of the weekend recovering from what had happened the day before which wasn't nice. There's a difference between knowing where you are emotionally and not knowing wants to feel because someone made choices for you that you were supposed to make for yourself.Max called me unfair for not telling him that I knew what was going on with regards to the racial profiling and the racial slurs he had been sent through his social media and other forms of communication . I know that he's been having a difficult time with regards to putting out fires and I'm no stranger to putting out fires because in all honesty he is not the first guy I have dated out of the my colour line . From a young age has been told to look at source aChapter 356Ellie"I'm sorry I take that back. " " You're forgiven. " " Then can you please see the effort I'm putting in. I'm trying to be as open as I can be and I'm trying to share good news with you. This is already been an emotionally taxing weekend I couldn't see for the past couple of nights I understand why you had to do what you had to do because of today's game."I drank water is left with my water and put the bottle into the recycle bin for plastic. I at behind one of the bar stools by the kitchen counter where Max was and I looked him straight in the eye."I'm not your ex. I don't know how many times I need to tell you that I will not do what she did to you . No one should go through what you went through.My Heart aches for you sometimes cause I understand the kind of pain you've gone through . "Max or removed his apron, because it was done plating the food and putting the dishes in the dishwashe
Chapter 257 Max There are mornings when I feel like I need a break from work. I actually have mornings when I feel like I need a break from my life and I just need to breathe stop and smell the roses. I get to stop and small Cross because I'm a soccer player and I kick a ball for a living and what's nice about it is that it's something I've always been passionate about. It's an honour and privilege to wake up every morning and do what you love. I knew that ; the following week was going to be a very long week. I wanted to make sure that I was mentally prepared and ready for what was to come. And you are at miss somebody will much time and I wanted to get some game time this week and in order to do that I had to put in 110 percent in everything that I did and that included making sure that I give my all . That meant that every running drill I did had to be perfect and every meeting that had to do with pe
Chapter 258 " No. I usually love to control that part of me." " You know you remind me of my brother and swim anyways because he does exercise a high degree of self-control but he has his habits and his habits are really weighing him down. He thinks that we don't know that he has an addiction and he's made a good job of keeping it from the people he loves , but my sister and I have known ." " I've been there before ,and place to be because when you get addicted to something and it becomes sort of like a dependency you can't live without it you constantly have to have that substance or drug before you do anything I mean my previous Club where I was Captain I walked away reluctantly because I was using narcotics just to get through each day because I didn't love what I was doing and then I'm at met my girlfriend. " " Ellie is a sweetheart you are a lucky man. She is good friends with my sister's friend and she never not once used my past against me when I did my tr
chapter 259EllieI'm glad that things are starting to look up for Max and I . we've both been through the most with regards to keeping things together. I woke up earlier this morning to avoid talking to him because I just didn't want to talk about anything more specifically I don't want to talk about work. Brent and I have been working together and together we've been doing a great job. I didn't want to spend money on a psychologist when Brent is more than qualified to get the job done . In the long run we will get someone but for now I'm fine with us working together. Maxwell has been seeing Brent with regards to him working on his mental state. I guess his fine because he hasn't lost it at anyone thrown stuff at anyone or , throttled anyone out of the blue out of anger. I was supposed to be going on a lunch date with Max or later on today and couldn't wait. I haven't seen him all day and some time away from everything and everyone wo
Ellie" you can't punish me for anything I'm not a kid what you can do is be angry about something else and hopefully find some conflict resolution with the impasse that you created. That is what adults do more specifically couples . "" oh please don't psychobabble me."" I'm not doing that ." I could see Max waiting towards the entrance to the lockers downstairs. he did sound angry and he was being sarcastic towards me it was a clear indication that I did something wrong that I wasn't aware of." You are or do you need a second opinion from Brent . "I was still confused and I wasn't about to try and figure out what was wrong and why you was acting the way he was acting because he was all loving and caring and doing boyfriend stuff then the next moment he was sort of acting jealous . throughout the conversation I kept on asking myself if I was doomed to be in relationships with guys that get jealous all the time for things that a
Chapter 261Max Brent is a cool guy and I am privileged to call him a friend and a doctor . I can see why my father likes him now because he is a good judge of character and it was right about Brent. David I'm also starting to think that she was right about the woman I wanted to marry who decided to give me my engagement ring back and further break My heart by not telling me everything that I needed to know.Ellie knows everything about me and my work . I don't know anything about her job and the stuff She owns, all the companies she owns part of and what she does. All I know is that ; she chose to keep stuff from me and that makes me so mad . I've always treated people fairly and I've always been just in my judgement, but lately I think that my jealousy is taking over. I knew that Ellie was looking forward to lunch, I was looking forward to lunch too and I wanted to surprise her with a picnic but I cancelled the picnic box after I fou
Chapter 262MaxI flashed back to this weekend when Ellie locked me out and then when she eventually came out she told me that she was calling off our engagement. My heart is still breaking from what happened and I thought that you were going to sort everything out this afternoon but I called off lunch which brings me back to square one." I'm not saying like Dexter. I didn't push her down the stairs and do anything to hurt her. I didn't even manipulate her to the point where she didn't know who she was without me. I don't know who I am without her and the scary part is that she called off her engagement which is the first step to calling off a relationship."" You can't call off a relationship. The only thing you can do is develop the relationship and make sure that everything you do together coincides with you being a Team. I've never seen her. I just saw her this afternoon. She's willing to try and the last person she was like this
Chapter 263EllieIt was a point in your life or just before your eyes and you don't know what to do or how to react. The only response your body can give is either flight, fight freeze mode and I have a tendency of switching into freeze mode and then fight mode and then flight. I don't think anybody's reaction goes in the order that it is textbook wires but the beverage truck almost hitting me was a wake-up call that I needed to get my life back in order. The only thing that happened was my mango juice pulling all over my car and on my phone which had switched off. I needed to pack as quickly as I could and the only place I knew that the estate was near enough so that I could do everything that I needed to do; stop by at home and wait for Daniel to drive over the lake house. As soon as I arrived at the estate I entered the house and ran upstairs, into the bathroom, and threw cold water on my face. I needed to get my head in the game because Romano
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
