chapter 297EllieI looked at Max and he looked like he was about to cry again. Part of me couldn't put him through another round of pain again. He had been through a lot and the last thing I wanted to do was make him feel like he wasn't enough for me . I take a deep breath and spoke; " The last thing I want to do is to make a decision that if you are not right for me or for us I don't only think of myself I also think of you too. I consider everything , you can call me crazy but I go through every possible situation in my head and I think of and analyse both sides.. well make it 3 because there has to be a part that balances and that's the most tricky part." " I know you had good reason to call off the engagement but I've done a lot of wrong things and it feels like you are always the one who is calling me out on my faults. " " Hang on, you do the same indirectly. I felt as if you were keeping stuff from me Max . I've
Chapter 298MaxWaking up next to my wife to be is the best thing in the whole entire world and apart from the fact that I get to call her mine and come home to her and our son is the coolest thing ever , it's been a while since I can wake up and be happily content . Ellie had switched her phone off earlier yesterday and it felt good not to be disturbed by anyone . She seemed so peaceful in her sleep. Only hoped she was screaming sweet dreams and she was also dreaming of me.I snuck out of bed, got cleaned up and went to go check on Axel who was wide awake and as expected Ellie's mother was with him. She was good with him and she somehow reminded me of my mother , I miss her sometimes and I miss Blake too but I see both of them in my son and in my sister who by the way I talked to last night and she is so close to giving birth, I hope she names the child after my brother or mother, and no one in the Sto
Chapter 299EllieIt's been a while since I've had my phone off and when that usually happens that's when I switch off completely and concentrate on what I'm doing. I don't switch my phone off. I message everyone who needs to be checked up on and check that everyone is ok and that everyone doesn't need my help with regards to putting out fires that I didn't start and that they can solve their own problems. Last night was a much-needed night for me and Maxwell. The past couple of days reaffirmed that we can get through anything and overcome a couple of hurdles and obstacles that were thrown towards us . I honestly thought that Maxwell was calling it quits on a relationship and he didn't want anything to do with me or our son. I wasn't wrong to think that because it wasn't black and white.I don't know they were in any of Maxwell's social media files but I do know that his accounts are always referred and
Chapter 300MaxI didn't like saying goodbye to Ellie this morning . The last thing I want to do is mess up the best thing I could have ever happened to me.I don't like messing up things because I'm actually good at fixing things, and pinpointing where I'm going wrong especially when it has to do with emotional issues and my feelings. I've had a lot that I've had to work through and the past couple days have been the hardest and most rewarding couple of days especially yesterday and this morning. I didn't write what was posted and I made sure that I switched off my phone and actually destroyed it. Daniel was kind enough to give me a new phone and it had all the bell's; whistles, and protection with regards to getting hacked or somebody using my accounts. I almost lost it all but I managed to get back what was lost. After losing so much in a short space of time I value what I have and never take anything for granted.
Chapter 301EllieNothing ever really catches me off-guard except for bombs that Maxwell drops when everybody isn't expecting or suspecting anything from him like he keeps things under wraps I thought that he was coming to; talk to me about something serious. When he comes upstairs he usually sends me a message or gives me a fair warning but this time he pitched up with a cup of Chai tea and he came to tell me that I was right. What caught me off guard is that he's not the type to admit when he has done something wrong easily but when the evidence is there he will yield and admit fault.Maxwell is one of our most bankable players and he knows that he brings in more money than most of the players and we made in the face of the club because he had a huge following and now that he's single he's following has more than doubled, to come think of it as bad as I was feeling yesterday about not feeling enough o
Chapter 302Max As far as weeks go, I think this is going to be one of those hectic weeks where I'm going to lose it at some point or I am going to throw something at someone because I've had a hectic couple of days. I don't think that it's going to stop until I get rid of my agent. I want nothing to do with him and I'm starting to regret not listening to my fiance. I should include her in whatever I'm doing because she's always right on the money. I can't believe that I have been so blind as to what the hell Jimmy has been doing. I'd like to believe that there's honesty and transparency between friends and more specifically friends who work together. I'm starting to believe that friends who work together and ever succeed in some places and it's a lesson that I'm still learning because I've gotten burnt and this is the third time I've gotten betrayed . I just told me because he's got my back and he's proven himself to me day in and day out and for him to c
Chapter 303Ellie Max tends to be a brooder when he is mad about something and this time I don't know if it's something I said or didn't say at the time. He was talking with Toby and it seemed serious, so I decided not to intervene while they were talking.Anything he wanted to say he could tell me when he got home. I knew that Rafael wanted to spend a bit more time with his grandson and my mother needed a break because he was taking care of Axel all night. She too had a cabin in the resort, since Raphael was working at the resort and he too was staying there. I figured they could both draw up a schedule as to when they can spend time with Axel. As soon as I got home I changed into comfy clothing and since it was an Autumn day I decided to put it on a long sleeve crew neck blue t-shirt with blue leggings and white sneakers. I had to prepare for tomorrow's meeting, and this time I wasn't going to take sides but it was going to be as fair as possible
Chapter 304MaxI'm no stranger to meetings. I actually love them to think of it, the whole strategizing part and the execution part is my favourite thing to do . I Love meetings only when they concern helping me improve my game and playing to the best of my ability. Today was going to be a long day and I knew it would be hectic ,because most of us were doing the second round of drug testing and we were also getting assessed individually . The doping tests were weekly and given my history with narcotics I didn't want to slip up or better yet I didn't want there to be anything wrong with me taking something that I shouldn't be taking. I wanted to be clean and ready to play the best football of my career. Last night was as eventful as the night before . We didn't even get to eat dinner . We only saw food in the wee hours of the morning. I knew that I could operate on little to no sleep. My fiance on the other hand could operate on no sleep. I knew that sh
