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 .

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 60EllieAll of my life , I have never and by never I mean never ever hurt anyone physically except for when I needed to protect myself in self defence .I really didn’t mean to throw my stainless steel water bottle at my boyfriend , that bottle hit his face and I wasn’t expecting anyone , why didn’t he call out when he was on his way to the bedroom . I looked at him and he tried to open his eyes but closed them and then fell on the floor . He had a bleeding nose and a bruised face , he was breathing but I was so scared that I might have done something unforgivable.I tried to get him to come around but he wasn’t responding , I started crying because it was an accident , I was taking out my frustration in a healthy way and I wasn’t expecting what happened to happen . I tried to get him to come around , but he wasn’t opening his eyes for ten minuets .&nb
Chapter 61Max Ellie always told me that your body rings up what you put it through; and one day when you least expect it gives a receipt of everything you did to it when you thought it wasn’t going to tell you that you needed to pay up. I have been taking care of myself and I have been keeping fit . The impact of the bottle aggravated an old facial injury I had . I could hear Ellie trying to wake me up but I couldn’t will my eyes to open . I even heard her cry which broke my heart just a little bit because she blamed herself .Ellie wasn’t the violent type and the only people that I had dated who were on the other side of loopy, were my exes . None of them compared to my girlfriend , soon to be fiancé, most of them thrived on drama . They all wanted the spotlight and that included being photographed with me . My relationship with Amy was purely for the sake of getting prescription painkillers from her and
