The hardest part about making a decision that feels right in your gut and in your heart is telling the person who actually thought that they had a shot at a relationship with you that they are being benched again.
I don't like being torn between two guys and not knowing how I feel . I have two amazing guys who want to be a permanent part of my world ,but I can't seem to make a choice and it's not only unfair to them , but it's also unfair to the women that want to be with them too . I don't want to compare them .
Daniel is a Virgo and the only feelings I've had for him are that of a brother . What we did on the side was just an agreement . We have been friends for years and there were many reasons as to why I just didn't want to cross the friendship line . I've known for the longest of times that he was part of the Mafia and even though his father has always been nice to me and he isn't the monster
Chapter 45MaxIt has been a long year and with everything going on you'd think that it was only just yesterday that Ellie came back into my life and we were well on our way to getting married and having children. She hadn't talked to me since the day she asked me and Daniel to leave her alone .I know that she didn't plan on catching feelings for both of us but what we have is worth fighting for in more ways than one. We've been through hell and back and I'll be damned if I let a doctor come between us and what we have. I've been sending El gifts and she has a box full of them in her revamped apartment that just looks exquisite. She has amazing taste and I'm proud to call her my girlfriend ... Even though the past three months in have been hard to get through.Today marked a year since we lost Benjamin and a couple of weeks later our first child . I could only imagine what El was going through. I feel everything
Chapter 46Ellie Your body has a way of showing you flames if you aren't taking care of it properly . Over a period of time you put it through hell or sometimes heaven and hell come to your body all at once , and your body talks to you in ways you can and can't comprehend.Your body has a way of giving you a receipt of everything you've put it through . Only this time I didn't put it through anything . I've been keeping a healthy diet and I had been going for my check ups . I am pregnant with Max's baby , I've already established that, I don't have any feelings for Daniel except that of brotherly sister love . Maxwell owns me and I indirectly own him . We have binding runes and their powerful.I was going to freshen up and change into blue jeans and a yellow crew neck sweatshirt. I was feeling okay and since my floors were made if wood , I was walking around barefoot . Max also knee that I didn't like&n
Chapter 47MaxwellMy favourite place in the world is next to El . She had told me that she has a doctor's appointment when I came with lunch . I wanted to do other things after lunch but she promised that she would make it up to me once we were done with the visit ,it was important and I could have convinced her to move it forward but I didn't want to be selfish .We had made in on time for the appointment and I knew she didn't want any attention around us . Even though I was not with any club I was talking a bit of a break from anything that had to do with football. I had studied sports management and marketing as back up because I learnt my lesson from the first time I had a major injury that nothing in the sporting world lasts forever performance wise .I'm not being shallow but at the end of the day I needed to find a way to make more m
Chapter 48EllieI've been pregnant before and the first couple of months are the scariest and I've waited longer for my check up in case I received bad news . With everything that I've been through I could really use a break especially with regards to the hearing .Part of me wants to cancel everything and let Karma deal with Killian . I want to call Daniel and ask him to deal with him because I don't think I have the energy to deal with that man after what he tried to do .Max offered to take me to the doctor... I lie Max insisted that he will drive me to my doctors appointment because he was uncomfortable with me going into a car that I didn't know . Michelangelo had bought him a new car to replace the one that I got into an accident with. Michelangelo Massa Luca has deep pockets and Cleopatra Massa Luca could care less she has deeper pockets but her husband knows absolute jack .
Chapter 49MaxYou know that you have found the love of a lifetime when , your better half forgives you ; even for something you did when you were confused . The good news is that; we are pregnant and what even better is that , we are past the three month mark so we are in the safe zone . I cannot wait to pick out baby names with Eleanor and then tell the world that she is mine and I have chosen her. I have been linked with a lot of people and I have had to quell down the rumors that were not true about me . The rumors that are very hurtful are the ones that hurt my girlfriend and she has always been the sensitive type , and straight forward .I was invited to a part by a couple of friends . I didn’t know that it was one of “Those “ parties where you walk around naked and have exhibition sex . The attendance was by inv
Chapter 50 EllieI don’t like drama and I do not like feeling like I am being attacked . I am so happy that Max and Me are pregnant and that we are in the clear. Out of doubt that Amy might have not being completely honest ; I had asked Daniel to run another test and a couple more blood tests because Amy didn’t take any blood specimens from me and I most certainly didn’t want to put any foot wrong .I didn’t want anyone except for the people close to me , knowing that I was pregnant .Max decided to shoot down the lie that; he was Amy’s boyfriend and that they were pregnant with their first child . He even went as far as posting the picture of the baby in my tummy cutting out the name but giving the dates .I for one cannot believe that Salvatore is alive and he is recovering. It is very hard to see someone you love going through hell . I didn&rsquo
Chapter 51 Max I can't hide anything from Ellie . She's always been sharp and observant when it comes to anything that has to do with me. I am also observant and know when I need to give her time or just push until she gives me an answer. When we came back from the hospital ,I wanted to take her out for dinner and since I didn't want to let her know that we were going out , I took the longer route to the restaurant not knowing that we were going to get stuck in traffic . Ellie was quite and given what happened today I really wanted to cheer her up and make her laugh. When she she went to the backseat I knew what Amy said got her questioning my love for her. Truth be told I can't remember ever not loving Eleanor Lerato , the day I broke her heart was the worst day of my life and for the fact that Abraham , her grandfather regarded me as his adopted grandson, and still loved and accepted me after doi
Chapter 52EllieMax has always said I was subtly stubborn and I was an indirect rebel. Although he made an accurate observation ; I have always been stubborn, but he has always been the one who couldn't yield to anything anyone told him to do .I wanted to save the conversation I was having with Max in the car ; across a table with food . He did afterall wanted to surprise me with a dinner date and I wasn't expecting anything. All I wanted to do was go home and rest, my day had been long; to think we had gone from having no baby , to having hearing a heartbeat and finding out we were actually going to be patents .When I stepped out of the car; Maxwell told me to go back into the car and I didn't want to . He pulled a serious face and I knew he wasn't acting but he probably saw someone coming out direction . I still said no that I wasn't going back into the car . He was clearly angry about
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
