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 53 MaxI've always been a fast runner and being a soccer player has not changed that . What it requires is a little bit of strategy and tact. I can read the game better than I can read people, but people too have similarities with players and as good as I was at reading my opponents , I'm even better at reading people .The car that Michelangelo Massa bought me as a replacement had great security features. I didn't anticipate what happened. Marc's restaurant wasn't that far from the police station and by the time I made it back to the car screaming Ellie's name because I thought she was locked in , I was surprised to see the door open and no sign of El . It was dark but the street lights made all the difference . It turned out that we were being followed and the person who took pictures of me but not Ellie was hired by the person who rammed in my car with her truck . Besides being worried sick about where Ellie was .H
Chapter 54ElliePaul Stone has always been a man of many talents. He has all the resources you can dream oof in terms of anything he wants , because whatever he wants he gets . My paths with Paul crossed when I went to mini Italy . I was craving for an Italian meal with a glass of non-alcoholic wine . I wanted to go out and avoid places that I knew ; Daniel and Maxwell frequented less and Mini Italy was one of them . Daniel was a Doctor and a lecturer , he is the type of guy you would find in coffee shops , with a book in hand or with family talking . He had crazy hours and he still does but he always makes time for family and friends . Maxwell is the mysterious one and he is the type of bad boy your mother doesn’t want you to date at all . You date him anyway because you can see right through him , he uses the bad boy persona to hide his sensitive nature . He is a Scorpio and boy can he hide secrets . Just when you think you’ve got him figured
Chapter 55MaxI really don’t like it when I have to fight someone who is a fan or a supporter of mine . I have always appreciated anyone who is a fan of my craft; however where Paul Stone is concerned there is a lot of red tape to cut through. He is a very influential man and my brother works for him as a tech consultant and he was given the title of head of tech just recently. Paul was one of the people who reached out to me when I said I was calling it a day on my football career . I had expressed my desire to work behind the scenes but took the job at my local school to remind myself why I fell in love with football . My step dad was abusive , he was an awful human being . The only way to escape was soccer and the only thing I could do right in the emotional department was love my mother and love Eleanor.I really want to give El my last name but it feels as if I am always playing catch up with her . First of all I feel
Chapter 56EllieI have come to the conclusion that ;my boyfriend is not only crazy but dramatic too, and I think that his bromance with Daniel has reached an all time high ; by that I mean they are now working together to make sure I don't end up with Paul or spend as little time as I can with Paul because his intentions aren't as pure as they seem . He is a businessman afterall and he will do anything to get what he wants.Dinner at the Stone penthouses was absolutely delicious . Paul gets a ten out of ten for being a great chef and host . He had revealed something that Max had done; that I wasn't aware of and he again wanted to keep it secret he didn't want everyone knowing that he was building a tech centre for the kids in the orphanage. I don't know when his sponsorship money was transferred but he wasn't wasting it for a change . He was also doing something good for a lot of kids who would benefit from what he was doing . Getting back home wasn't a mission
Chapter 57MaxI would like to believe that I am a reasonable man and I don’t like sharing what is mine , more specifically when it comes to relationships I don’t like other men looking at my girl , and giving my girl gifts . I don’t know why Ellie doesn’t see what Paul is doing . It also doesn’t help that he is the boss of a billion rand company . I checked my emails before I went to sleep last night , after I made sure that my baby love was sleeping peacefully . Cleopatra had sent me a contract with regards to the Sports company Aaron and Michelangelo owned .They wanted me to be head of ; the marketing department. I read through the contract and it was water tight. The money they were offering was almost the same as Stone , Paul’s company. By almost I meant that ; Luca Corp was offering more and they were willing to counter whatever offer any company had . I read through the contract again an
Chapter 58EllieMaxwell is an extremely intense guy and part of me always feels a bit uneasy when he gets jealous. I don’t think his middle name should be Jeremiah , I think his middle name should be ; Maxwell Jealous Jeremiah Blackwell . I mean what Paul did this morning was sweet and I only told Maxwell what he needed to know about how I met Paul . I knew he was going to ask me about Paul again , just to be sure about where I stand with his completion and if I had any feelings for him whatsoever , I should get over them because we have a baby on the way and he intends on making more babies with me .When he asked me about owning property in Cape Town, I knew for a fact that; he had signed the contract and it was only a matter of time before Cleo called me to tell me the good news . It would be refreshing to start again at a different city where nobody knows us and there aren’t any men out to make them theirs. In this case Paul Stone.&n
Chapter 59MaxwellI really want to marry Ellie and I love that she tells me everything I need to know. when I asked her if she owned property in Cape Town ; she told me that she did. I spent half the morning talking to her because I didn’t know if she was going to move without telling me or was she going to tell me on the day she was leaving . I am an over thinker and I don’t like feeling like there is something that I am missing with regards to my girlfriend . I know her inside out and her loyalty knows no bounds .I officially have a friend . His name is Daniel and I now understand why Eleanor and him became such good friends . He respected the decision Eleanor made to pick me. He even helped me rescue my baby love from that man who always seems entitled and thinks he is a super star . I wanted to get some work done because I had a couple of documents to go through with regards to work. I was going to work under Ellie because ,
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
