Chapter 56
Ellie
I 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
Chapter 62EllieI don’t like eves dropping , but where the truth is concerned its always fair game . It is no secret that ; Paul wants me . He has wanted me from day one when we did Business communication in college. He was always the party animal, who apparently had so much pride that he didn’t even care who stood in his way as long as he got what he wanted at any cost . The one thing about Paul is that he loves having a good party and he has a high libido. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was the one who invited Max to go to that sex party Matteo Massa hosted . Max needs to be convinced by people he respects to do something out of character , like what he did with Amy . Since Daniel was always around me and he was always a hero and friend ; Paul had a difficult time trying to get me alone . Apart from the fact that he eventually got to kiss me at the Italian Market four weeks ago when we started being friends again and this time he made hi
Chapter 63Max“ Maxwell you know I really want us to be friends . ““ You know one of these days Ellie is going to see your true colours.”“ She is not going to I am squeaky clean”“ No you are up to something Paul . Mia cannot keep a secret to save her life and she loves showing off . If I find out that , you were behind last nights’ incident ... ”“ What makes you think I was , and your girlfriend called me for help today.”“ After you bought her the gifts . ““I didn’t know that Mia had a thing for you , now I do… Maybe I will capitalise , I want what is yours . ““ You can’t have it Paul , and no amount of money can buy love , that includes Ellie ."“ I kissed her did she tell you that?”“ No she hasn’t &
Chapter 64 Ellie The hardest part about any traumatic experience is ; accepting that something awful has happened to you . You can only be thankful for what you have and count your blessings . I'm no stranger to trauma , but after every trauma or horrific experience something's got to give and you have to find it within you to pick up the pieces one by one and try and assemble the jigsaw puzzle pieces of your life together . Blake has been through a lot and I know him better than his brother does , and apart from the fact that he had called Max when he was in trouble and not me , meant that he was in serious deep trouble. I for one didn't know that Paul was related to the Massa's and that; his little brother Taylor was responsible for knocking out Cleo when she went to the bachelorette party at a club she was forbidden to go to because it was somehow connected to the Luca's. I recommend Blake
