Chapter 267
EllieI 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 keepChapter 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 ."
Chapter 273 Max I've never traveled or shared a room with Toby before; and ever since rebranded and Cape Town have been inseparable. We've done everything together and that included I'm sitting together in the technical meeting and taking notes together. We were put together for a reason and I can see why we were paired together now. At first I thought that it didn't make sense that I was being paid up with someone who did not have a soccer background. I knew that I had to find a way to work with my new partner but unlike many times before working with someone who has proven to be difficult but working with somebody who understands her and gets here in many ways is a blessing. I tried to take the window seat on our way to Cape Town but Toby beat me to it. He also beat me to the part of our hotel room that had a view. I couldn't wait to see my son and my fiance. It didn't matter what we did. I knew that my day was going to get better and I could fee
Chapter 274 Max "To be honest right now I don't know because; Ellie isn't picking up her phone and so is Daniel. I just don't know why they are both not here. Something must have happened because I'm starting to feel like a part of me is missing."We both stepped out of the elevator and into his car ,he started driving and we continued talking. "I know the feeling I used to feel like that with my ex. When something was wrong or when she was in trouble it felt as if something was amiss and more often than not something bad had I don't get to see my kids and it's killing me that she has full custody and I don't. There's nothing I can do about it but the work I'm doing is actually helping me and thanks to Eleanor I'm not as depressed as when Clara left me . That feeling that you have doesn't go away and to know that you've messed up and can't take back what you have done or be forgiven sucks . " " The other day I asked Ellie w
Chapter 275Ellie Your body is designed to release what it doesn't need. We holding something for too long it will find a way to let it go. If you bottle up something for a long time it will burst and overflow. Everything in your body works in synchronisation. When you don't feel well or fall ill out of the blue, it's your body giving you a receipt of all the things you've put it through and neglected to take care of or ignored until your body says that; enough is enough. For the past couple of months I have put my body and emotions through a lot , and it came as a surprise. , When I came down with a fever. Your body builds you for what you put it through whether it be directly or indirectly, for some people it can be physically, mentally or emotionally. Either way you pay for not taking stock or an inventory of what's wrong and dealing with it at the same time. I don't like hospitals. I've said it once and I'll say it again. I don't
