chapter 264
Ellie"I'm not and she's the one who won't stop obsessing over me I've tried everything I've tried telling her that she's a hard limit that I've got a son and that I don't want anything more than friendship but it doesn't register to her it doesn't click to her that I'm just not that into her the way she wants me to be into her if I'm making sense? "I stopped what I was doing and I rolled my eyes at Maxwell. I knew that would irritate him but I did it anyway because I was annoyed at the fact that he didn't see that Paulina was doing what she was doing on purpose and her plan was just to cause trouble in our family."Why didn't you tell me that she called you from our house the day before we had the health scare with regards to Axel and the day before you were due for your hearing? "" Ok fine I see where we are going with this; you had a lot going on when Axel was sick and so did I. Building a committed friendship sChapter 265Max If there is one thing that I love about Ellie , it is her ability to Keep calm in the face of danger. We both knew that there was an intruder in the house but she wasn't very at all and she actually told me to calm down and act normal because whoever it is must have a good reason for breaking in and cocking the gun . It turns out with someone and security who thought that I was the intruder and was breaking into my own house which was weird because I hadn't been here in a long time and after times I've been here security knew that I was here so I thought the security guy was a new person. When he walked within eye shot of the both of us, Ellie seemed unfazed. It was as if both my girlfriend and this new guy who decided to break into my house without my permission, knew each other from a long time ago because she would have told me to call for help but she didn't. When she looked at this guy's face she was half smirking and she couldn't
Chapter 266Max" Either than the fact that you are not his favourite person , he is laid back and a pleasure to be around and work with. " " Why am I not his favourite person?""You are going out with his favourite girl and you should remember that ; El had a life after you and she still does . "" I don't know how she felt when my ex was causing havoc between us."The cops let me through and I was well on my way to the hospital without any hiccups. I pulled up into the parking lot and continued to talk to Brent" Once Fabio gets to know you he will treat you like family but just take some time to warm up to other people. ""I see . I'm already in the waiting area and there seems to be no one, where is Toby? ""Oh wait, I can see you, why are you still wearing your training kit? "" I sleep in the kit for good luck , so don't start. "" Liar you dozed off didn't yo
Chapter 267EllieI don't like traveling with Axel back and forth, from the city to the coast . More specifically now because he just had a health scan and it scared the living daylights out of me. He's been my anchor throughout this whole ordeal and I'm just happy that I have her around. He has my life and I do anything and everything to make sure that he is happy, healthy, protected , safe, and well taken care of. On our way to the coast Daniel briefed me about a whole lot of things, more specifically the break-in at my home and the documents that the people who broke in were looking for at my office. The people that broke and were looking for something that I knew the location of. We had just landed and Axel was still wide awake . He wasn't going to sleep anytime soon and apart from the fact he was awake throughout the whole trip , I was lucky enough to have Danielle and Fabio around. They both have the energy and stamina to keep
Chapter 268Ellie I knew my Godfather really well. I will send you that he knew how to cover things up and make it look like it was someone else's fault and not his. He knew how to play dirty and still be clean. I have always been protected and cared for because he's the only person who's ever treated me like I was human and never judged me because of the colour of my skin or treated me differently because of the colour of my skin so has Daniel and both of them have become like family to me over the years . They have seen me through the worst and they still loved me for who I was.I don't feel like calling Max and if my god father had someone who was playing for the club and Max was a target then I knew his life was in danger.Daniel and I sat down and started eating dinner after saying grace." Daniel I know that your father uses where to get his message across and I know that he's not want to be crossed. I've never double-cr
Chapter 269 Max I don't know what it is about Toby. I can't quite put my finger on it but it feels as if I'm connected to him somehow in a brotherly kind of way. I see why Ellie and the people on the board who approved his inclusion in the team . He's very calm under pressure except for when you creep up on him he will snap ,like he did when he threw me on the floor unexpectedly. I'm still in pain from the impact but I'm fine. I already learnt my lesson from being too chummy with my teammates and Benjamin is still a lesson I am learning. Before I could bring Toby home with me; I had to check with Brent if he had been vetted and if you were safe enough to bring into my personal space because I don't want to repeat what happened . I still feel guilty about my girlfriend getting shot by my teammate, at an incident that could have been preventable. I know that; I have done a lot of bad things but I'm trying to be a bet
Chapter 270 Max I took a deep breath and looked at an inquisitive friend who needed answers and above all honesty . " Blake had an epileptic fit and died on the same day my mother died so not too long ago I was burying both my brother and my mother at the same time. I had to also come to terms what's the fact that; Paul's brother was also going to marry my sister. " " Man, you've been through a lot." " I sort of need a break from all the bad stuff that's been happening to me and I'm trying to be a better man for my son and my girlfriend who I am hoping to make my fiance again. Do you want to come in for a drink?" " Yes please. " We got out of the car and into the house. When Toby entered he was smiling from ear-to-ear because he couldn't believe how beautiful the house was. Yes it's on one of the kitchen bar stools and I went into the fridge and got her a can of non-alcoholic beer. We don't keep alcohol in the house because I was trying to stay clean
Chapter 271Ellie There are days when I feel like going to work and there are days when I don't want to go to work because I don't want to leave my Baby boy alone. I miss them when I go to work and it's reaching the milestone where his senses are heightened . He already knows his father's voice and I feel bad for not calling Max last night because I was so tired . I normally send him a picture of Axl sleeping one of them wide awake or sometimes I send a video of actual saying something that doesn't make sense but it makes sense to both of us anyway because his baby talking and we are still trying to learn baby talk and understand what kids are saying but it's ok we will get there. I got up in the middle of the night to go check on Axel and he was peacefully sleeping. I'd ask Daniel to move his crib into the main bedroom because I didn't want to be apart from him I knew it was a target on my back and I don't want anything to happen to my b
Chapter 272Ellie I tried to keep my eyes open but they ended up closing again. I wasn't in the state of mind to go anywhere physically. Mentally I was still sharp mentally, but my body was betraying me physically because deep down I knew that something was wrong and I couldn't move or do anything until I had recovered. I pulled myself up and tried to get out of bed again. I ended up with my feet hanging on the side of the bed and me looking at Axel smiling . It was enough to make me smile and get the strength to get up but Daniel walked towards me and sat me down with him. I placed my head on his shoulder and he kissed my forehead. "I spoke to my dad yesterday and he had to take a detour with Sienna's father. He didn't know better and Matteo is trying to do something sinister. Angelo will run things at the office and I will run things to the side on the ground and just work from home because you are in no condition to go out ."
