Chapter 76
EllieI hate the fact that I have to drive past the Stone Corp building , on my way home. I was headed for my apartment and two motor bikes had passed me . It was already dark and I wasn’t far from home . When the robot turned red and stayed red for a little longer than it should I started feeling unsettled . Something was going to happen and I had a sinister feeling that; I was being stopped for a reason . I started taking deep breaths trying to calm myself down .I was also still trying to wrap my head around the fact that Max ; wasn't talking to me and it cut so deep that Paul a complete stranger to Max knew what was going on with him. If he had already signed the contract at Stone where would that leave Arron and Michelangelo ? Part of me also felt what he did was so selfish because he was helping out the Aaron who had a bad run with his previous company because it was c
Chapter 77MaxI think I'm cursed . Today was supposed to be the day I finally pop the question to Ellie in front of our friends and family . It just dawned on me that today was the day she was supposed to get married to Dexter .I think the universe is telling me to choose another date because ba whole lot of things have just happened preventing me from getting down on one knee and telling the world that I have my eyes on one girl and one girl only ... My girlfriend who didn't even make it to dinner and now I just found out that she is in an ambulance with my sister .Of all the good things that could have happened to me today , my sister gets involved in a drive by shooting and miraculously the person I wanted to speak to tonight and explain myself to was there when it happened and I couldn't be more thankful
Chapter 78EllieI hate hospitals , I think I've always hated them . My older brother died in one and it was an unfair death . I don't want to re-live that day . It happened right in front of my eye I couldn't bring my self to forget the day . My brother was playing street soccer with his friends . It was always a safe neighborhood and on that day in particular it was a public holiday and everyone was having a great day until a drunk driver drove into him . I was pretending to be a reporter when the unthinkable happened. I was reporting on the soccer game with a friend and I was pretending to be reporting live and talking to someone in an imaginary studio.The accident was so bad that they had to rush him to hospital , when he came out of the Operation room he was fine . Hell we even talked about what we wanted to be when we grew up. I didn't know what I wanted to do then but I t
Chapter 79MaxI'm not superhuman ; although I'd like but to believe that sometimes I am and I have the gift of the gab so I can be very convincing . My super powers are however Limited because ; I couldn't overturn my girlfriend's decision to give me a taste of my own medicine. I don't like speaking or voicing my feelings out let alone my plans . I am always in constant fear that something might go wrong and everything might be turned on it's head .Everything was turned on it's head and as predicted ; I was dealing with a failed attempt to get Elie to marry me and my sister was hurt while she was with her boyfriend , who I didn't like but after seeing them together this whole week , I understood why my sister loved Tau Taylor Stone he hasn't left her side , he has been open and caring and he has been showing my sister a whole lot of love and affection. I still don't like Paul but his broth
Chapter 80EllieI have gone ten years without Maxwell before and it tore me apart to know that he believed some rumours a clique spread about me and Samuel who I was trying to protect back then because he was my friend, and he didn't deserve to go through hell because he had been through enough trauma already ; about coming out to his parents and family.I've always accepted him the way he was in actual fact I've accepted anyone I've ever loved the way they were . I meet you at your place of need, and at the moment I think the decision I took to take a break from Maxwell, was called for . I had valid reasons and I needed to get my facts straight before I went on the attack . I didn't want to tell him how I truly felt about his actions and then have him flip the odds in his favour and make it seem like it was my fault for him to do what he did .If Dexter was a very good lawyer... Then Maxwell is a master ma
Chapter 81MaxWhat my sister did was very sneaky and I don’t like it one bit . She called Ellie b cause she thought that it was necessary for me to take action because I was such an over thinker; fix the mess I made because I was walking around like a wounded animal that hurt itself and was refusing to get help. So in her head; she is like a vet that found me and she is trying to fix me so that I can walk or run again .I have always been a stubborn man ,and I have always , more often than not lived with regret for not acting sooner . I respect Ellie because she had always been able to call me out on my bad behavior , she’s always believed that I can be good and do good. I knew she was the right person to ask, to do the interview and get it to the right people . Part of me was also thankful that I kept AM sports because Ellie’s company was now part of the Luca conglomerate of businesses and if I needed any sort of help with regards
Chapter 82Ellie I don’t like it when my friends are attacked or bullied. I have always protected the people that I have loved and I have a way of indirectly with people who attack people who are weaker than them . I’ve always kept my circle small and I have only let people who prove themselves by word and deed into my circle and I know for a fact that; if I ever get into trouble , or need some protection, the same people I have been protecting will protect me . That’s if they know what’s going on because over the years I have learned that the tattle tale sign of someone who wants to control you and abuse you; is to isolate you from the people you love and care about you .Dexter was the biggest lesson I have ever had to learn and the scars I have are nothing compared to what he had put me through when we were in a relationship with each other . He was jealous of my friendship with Sam and when he found out about my other friends , he isol
Chapter 83MaxI don't think I am deserving of Ellie's love. She has been there for me in more ways than one , even when I thought that I was just broken beyond repair. Elie is a fixer and by that I mean that; she hates not making sure that things are fine and that you are well taken care of , and everything is alright .The moment I held Ellie in my arms was the moment I stopped running. I was in pretence mode and I am usually in control of my feelings , but when I saw Ellie's face I cried like a baby and I didn't care who was watching . I missed her and I felt like she was the only one who understood me . She loved me inside out . I even showed her the ugliest parts of me and she accepted me and what she did yesterday was nothing short of heroic . She wrote an article and in it she wrote about me and tried to clean up , balance and shine my already defor
Chapter 84ElliI have always loved being active and since I can do some of the stuff I used to do and I have been given the all clear , I went on a walk instead of a run this morning with Daniel. Before I left the house Blake was already awake and he was doing some sort of research on the Luca airline hostesses , he was really focused , and I knew it was the right time to ask him for a favor .When he told me that the boys were going to play drinking games ; I tapped out and called it a night , and I told them to bring Max back in one piece because he is not a heavy drinker and he didn’t get to go through college because he was schooled by the academy that he played for , and they didn’t teach him how to be a heavy drinker . Max is not a heavy drinker he’d rather take pills … which is also a bad habit because he knows how to hide them. The boys did not listen to me and they ended up wasted . Max had to be carried inside the
