Chapter 311
EllieI've always had the fear of showing love and it not being reciprocated by the person I've shown it to. I never make a decision without thinking things through and I think it through kind of person and if I meant to keep something secret and under wraps I do that. Last night was a hectic night with regards to trying to convince Angelo that his father wasn't his father. Romano is an artist. It's something that he's kept secret and it's something that he goes into when he has time. He has painted portraits and pieces. Since I needed to spruce up the junior department of the club I needed him to paint a portrait and I commissioned him to paint a mural . He is my Godfather after all and we have a father and daughter like relationship and whatever he needs from me with regards to any kind of help or a favour he's got it. He's also done the same for me . I'm so due for fish and chips with seeing Anna and Daniel so tonight I think I'm also going to be busChapter 312MaxIf there's one thing that I don't like doing is; making Ellie directly angry at me. Last night I had already taken off because I had to put in extra time and the person who gave me the punishment of extra-time wasn't around but the coaches made sure that I put in the two and a half hours that I was punished for. The team had two extra hours. I had an extra 30 minutes for talking back and being a smart mouth. I wasn't allowed to talk to my agent until the next hearing and the team members that had late charges had retracted the initial accusations towards Jimmy with regards to what I said I had a problem with. I know for a fact that he's been taking money that's not his from me and I want my money back even though I have more than enough as my fiance said.I know I have inherited money from my brother's death and my mother's death at the same time and so does my little sister and I want her and her b
Chapter 313 EllieIf hectic was a day then today was one of those days I have had one heck of a hectic day on a day where I was supposed to have a half-day it ended up being a full day with an emergency board meeting called with regards to the results of some drug tests that were taken with this week. We always have a strict policy when it comes to drug testing and making sure that everybody is clean. We don't like fielding players that have dirty blood work for lack of a better word. When the club signed Max he knew that he had to stay clean , He stayed clean right up until recently when they took his blood test and it tested positive for a banned substance but what was strange was that when his blood work came back for the second time was that he didn't test for the drugs that he took The test was taken after the meeting we had with Jimmy and his lawyer. Everybody was treating Max like an outcast which meant that he would go to Carlo's restaurant after the little sp
Chapter 314MaxThere are times when you need to understand what's going on in your life and who's controlling what goes on in your life and just a couple of weeks ago I was having a peaceful life with my fiance and my son and the past couple of weeks it's been one thing after another and I don't know if I can take it anymore. I am safe and I can fight my own battles and I can actually see when something is not right or when someone is doing something on purpose but this week has seen me go from having friends to not having friends to the only friends I have warning me not to go see another friend who doesn't have my best interests at heart and doesn't want me to join their group, and just to top it all off being accused of doping.They said that a lesson will repeat itself until you learn it. I already learned my lesson when I lost it all after doing drugs and playing soccer at the same time which was very unprofessional of me. When I was given the opportunity to play
Chapter 315EllieI understand the nature of the situation that Max is in ; he has two pending matters and it's the matter of his agent and it's the whole doping scandal that has just blown up in his face. I just don't get Carlo for someone who claims to be loyal to one party is in actual fact loyal to another. Max has never done anything bad to him but he on the other hand is messing up his life and he's doing it effortlessly without even lifting a finger. When everybody started complaining about Jimmy and they always charges on for the same thing Max who was charging Jimmy with,I knew that something was up and then I feel that something was up because Max never drinks beer but in this regard he had a beer given to him by Karim and the only place I eat the day before you had his drug test was at his restaurant also he might have spiked the food and if he did not have any wrongdoing who might have done it. The whole debacle and the whole story was just too
Chapter 316MaxThe one thing that you don't want as a player is not to be able to be given game time or not play at all. Not being given game time is your worst nightmare because you're constantly asking yourself if I'm doing my best. If I am the coach's favourite, maybe I should reconsider my career choices. Not playing at all is like being in jail, I can describe it; it's hell. Hellis is not when you're dead? Hell is when you're alive and you can't do what you love because somebody has decided that it is a good idea to mess up your life and make you second guess and question everything that's going on in your life with regards to your career. I shouldn't have ever trusted Carlo or eating any of his food in his restaurant. I was being a rebel and look where that got me. Now I have to sort out my life and deal with a lot and right now the last thing I need is to have my baby love stress about me . It should be me stressi
Chapter 317Ellie I think I'm getting good at this thing of negating whatever direction Maxwell wants to take. I cannot give away that I know that Romana is alive and well and he's living in my beach house, the one that we don't use because that's the only place that I could think of that nobody would look for him. The only person who's in on this whole setup is Cleo. I know I can trust her because Romano says so and he's always been a good judge of character when it comes to people. He had warned me about his son and his promise he was raised with but I didn't listen and decided to pursue a relationship with him and when I did it was so close to marrying me when he messed up everything. I didn't go to him crying because I was afraid that he was going to tell me that he told me so that Daniel has a way of making you believe something is going on when in actual fact he's doing whatever he wants to do and he's doing it out of his selfish needs . Danie
Chapter 318MaxI don't want to be in a relationship that is filled with doubts and trepidation. When I asked Daniel what caused the rift between him and Ellie and how long it took for her to forgive him , he responded by telling me that; he didn't treat her with; love, respect and honesty. Ellie knew the nature of the kind of things that they do when it comes to working for the family business but he wasn't being completely honest with her. He had also cheated on her with someone she knew , sending her straight into the arms of that sorry excuse of a human being Dexter . I don't like seeing El in pain when she hurts. I hurt ten times more .Last night I told her that I had a confession to make and I knew that she was in a listening mood because she was calm and she wasn't stressed . I had told her about all the fun I had before we came together and that I don't want her to be surprised when somebody comes out and says that; I slept with them and th
Chapter 319Ellie I don't like explaining myself when I know that I have packed everything up and shelved it away. The only thing I did was advocate for my fiance to be accepted into the gang and surprise surprise he was a legacy. Raphael has always been the gang's doctor. We all knew that he had a son but we didn't know that his son was Maxwell. It wasn't hard to convince the other gang members that Maxwell would be a great addition to the fold. I pointed out the fact that he has a lot of influence and given the positions that he had ascended to in terms of his career he was going to be an asset. He was the team's captain and he had already been given the vice-captaincy of the national team. As if this weekend's game wasn't dismal enough I needed a bit of good news and the good news came in the form of A & B samples of the drug tests that we ran on all the players except for Max who was suspended . The main reason was that the drugs that he tested posi
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
