Chapter 90
Ellie
Jimmy has always known how to trigger Max . I remember Max telling me that he stayed with him when he was at his lowest and he was the only thing he has closest to family. Like Max; he was a Scorpio and he brought out the darker side of Max in the worst way .
I know Max and I knew that Jimmy had called him . Poor Doctor Smith was caught in a crossfire he didn't start. It was unfair to him that he knew me as part of Blake's family but not Max because the twins and Max's mother were on my medical aid .
When he charged at me I moved back in fear because all his suppressed feelings were resurfacing and she was angry at the wrong person .He has an insatiable appetite for revenge and with all the highs we've had on our relationship , this was a low . He doesn't talk about some of things that he keeps secret and things that a
Chapter 91MaxwellEllie has always been right on the money . She has always been supportive towards me ; and she has always had my back . I feel like I have hurt the one person who had always looked out for me and understood me .I thought the woman walking downstairs was Ellie and when I screamed out Ellie , she didn't respond and I ran after her. Only when I got downstairs it wasn't her . She was one of the medical students taking the stairs instead of the elevator to go meet her boyfriend .The boyfriend recognised who I was and he asked me politely to take a picture. He gave his confused girlfriend the phone and she snapped away . I wanted to go say goodbye to my baby brother and when I went back upstairs ; Doctor Smith let me through, without any hold ups . He was wide awake when I walked in and he was lost in his thoughts . When I talked to him he saw right through me, and I
Chapter 92EllieI can only be mad at Maxwell for a little while and then forgive him. I Know that he has an impulsive side , so do I , but he bottles stuff in and there are times when everything comes out all wrong and at the wrong time .I went into shell shock when he started shouting at me and I flashed back to the times when Dexter would do the same under different circumstances , at some point it got so bad that; when he went out I would stay in and he would hear something that I didn’t tell him or mention and make me feel like I was keeping secrets when I wasn’t . It took me time to accept that I was a victim of ; mental, emotional , and to an extent physical abuse .Last night I called Max ; because after I talked to Blake he convinced me to listen to what he had to say . He told me that he has been th
Chapter 93MaxI was looking at Ellie who looked well rested and calm . When I saw the worry reflected on her face I knew that ; she was worried with good reason . I don’t want her calling everyone she knows , to come to my aid . I want to deal with what was going on ,properly, without her fighting my battles for me . During training ; one of the strikers in the team who is an accurate shooter; kicked the ball directly on my face , I thought it was a mistake and I let it go only for the second ball to hit me unexpectedly .The position I play is center back . The Jerry knows his job and he seldom changes his formation . I always keep to myself , but I knew I wouldn’t be popular because of how I was called up to the team. I was already match fit and I had put in the hours in the gym and on the pitch . I have always watched what I ate and It’s not that hard to eat healthy because Ellie watches what she eats too and she is not ve
Chapter 94EllieBlake was discharged from hospital and he didn’t tell me that he was coming back today . I was busy talking to MJ , when I got a message to clear him for entry. He designed the security system ; he could have just let himself in but he asked me for permission , which wasn’t like him … When he appeared on the screen while I was talking to MJ , Max screamed in jubilation and he screamed back at him too .The conversation I was having with Max was cut short by his brother . I didn’t mind and he had said that ; he would call me later to check up on me.I was happy that Blake was getting some time to spend with his brother , even if he was far away , he had some sort of communication instead of having radio silence .Since my phone was hijacked by Blake I went upstairs to my home office to go
Chapter 95MaxWhen the medical team tells you to sit out a match ; as a fan you may be bummed that, your favorite player isn’t playing , but as the person who is actually not playing it’s a blow to everything . Your self-esteem is affected , your morale takes a knock and you are actually as disappointed as the person who was looking forward to see you play . I am tough and I can handle anything thrown my way. You are only as good as your teammates . A player is only as good as the players he plays with .Soccer is a team match and everyone has to play together . Some of the best teams I the world the best because they show up and get the job done . They have been playing together since they were kids and they have formed some sort of brotherhood . The team I play for is fairy new and the team I play for doesn’t have roots
Chapter 96EllieI miss Max am doing a lot of things to keep my mind off missing Max . He didn’t call me last night , and I know that the rule of thumb when he is at work ; playing a game or training , he callas me and I don’t call him . I am dealing with his brother trying to convince him not to take him to rehab. I don’t want to deal with Max’s ex girlfriend’s and obsessed crushes . The party Max went to had a lot of levels and according to my turn coat of a best friend that I call Salvatore , Max had all access and he had fun for hours … without me .I was also sorting my feelings out and he wasn’t sure if I wanted him or not . I guess his behavior was warranted ,but What I didn’t expect and what was not called for was ; him lying and trying to cover up the fact that he slept with someone and it was a no strings attached
Chapter 97MaxI have always had the fear of losing what I already have. I have already lost Ellie before , only to get her back and I don’t want to lose her again . I have waited ten years too long to finally be at a place in my life where everything is going the way I want to … except for Paul being a thorn on my backside .He just doesn’t m want to quit.Its bad enough that I work for that man and my gut is still telling me he is up to something .When I was done talking to Jerry and I was enjoying my breakfast , a call came in and it was my brother. I knew I hadn’t called Ellie and I was really sad about it . She needed to know everyday that; she was loved and cherished by me . I promised to call her whenever I got time , but I ended up not calling her yesterday because I was knocked out cold . I refused to take meds or p
Chapter 98EllieI am excited that ; MJ is back home. I don’t want to pretend to know what he is going through; but I understand his pain and disappointment .He was looking forward to playing for the national team today but instead he , is sitting in my office with Paul who owns the club he plays for. Paul wants me and I know he has a reputation of wanting what he can’t have ; but I am loyal to my boyfriend . According to Paul; I am not off the market , as long a Max hasn’t put a ring on my finger its fair game and he has it in his head that we have a connection.The only connection I have with Paul is that of friendship and that’s it. I was surprised when Blake and Salvatore were nowhere to be seen. They were in the building but Blake was helping his brother get to me before Paul could . I figured he didn’t do it on his own, he must have had help from Daniel . I was going to book a flight to surprise him but he
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
