After a few minutes of waiting the doctor finally came out of the ward where Mellisa was. " Doctor, is Mellisa alright?"Linda rushed towards the doctor." Is she awake now? " " Don't worry, she is saved, she could have died if the cold had not lessened out of her body but thanks to whatever you did to her that saved her life. " The doctor said. "But we have to run more tests on her after 3 days, because she has symptoms of Cardiovascular Disease. " The doctor explained. " What is that doctor, " Maxwell asked with a raised eyebrow." Can that be treated?""Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a major health problem and can cause a variety of symptoms, including chest pain, shortness of breath, and irregular heartbeats. " The doctors explained. "We have already done a few tests like ECG, Echocardiography, and a blood test. We also need to do a stress test, to check the functioning of the heart under stress.Our team of doctors will monitor her closely and keep her under observation. We wi
.Mellisa blushed upon hearing Max's indirect compliment. No one had ever told her she was beautiful before, so it felt strange to hear it. "T...Thank you, sir," she stammered. "Can I use the bathroom?""Of course," Max replied.Mellisa attempted to rise off the bed, but the sharp pain between her legs made her fall back. "Arhh, I'm in pain," she cried out.Linda quickly ran to her side and helped her to sit up. "What happened to you, Mellisa?" she asked. "Should I go call the doctor?"Maxwell, who had realised what was happening, interjected. "What's the need to call the doctor? He clearly said that she must get rest. You should not move until the cold is out of your body permanently."" Yeah daddy, is absolutely right about that, " Linda said, remembering that the doctor instructed that Mellisa should rest... " Lie down and don't move okay? " Without a warning Mellisa burst into tears overwhelmed by a lot of emotions, no one has ever taken care of her like that, her aunt used to al
." Zick!!!! " Mike yelled his name." How dare you chase her out of the house, where will she go?" Mike slammed the table angrily. " You are the biggest fool in this world I ever knew, how can you let go of such a gem of a person???" " Dad, please I don't want you to lecture me about this matter, you want me to marry a poor girl just like you did, like seriously aren't you being ridiculous right now?? " Mike asked his tone full of light sarcasm, annoyance could not be mistaken on his face." If you love that old hag go and look for her and make her your wife because she is not my type and she will never be one. " " Zick!!!!! How could you say this to me? " Mike shook his head slowly in disbelief. " It's okay my son, we don't know what we have in life until we lose it, you know the meaning of my words one day but it will be too late. " Mike said, he rose off the table and left the house. " I pity you. " Riya said with tears in her eyes, with deep sadness in her heart, it was all her f
"Melissa, you'll come with us, and I won't accept no for an answer," Maxwell said sternly. "I don't want to be a burden to anyone," said Melissa. "You can go home and don't worry about me, I'll see what I can do with my life. I might as well end my life because it's not going to be good either way. Linda, let out a long sigh as she heard Mellisa talking about suicide, "Mellisa, can you stop talking about suicide? Like seriously, what will death solve? Nothing!!, so it's better not to talk about it anymore, you are coming with us and that's the end of the story. "But____'' Melissa couldn't even finish her sentence. . "You're going to come with us and the topics are not up for discussion," Maxwell said. Melissa said nothing after hearing Maxwell and Linda's request.After making sure that Melissa was comfortable in the back seat Maxwell drove away heading home. ………….."Mom, I can't stay here anymore. I have a job at the Williams mansion. Michele said since Mellisa left the house.
Maxwell went to his room and when he got there, he closed the door and lay down on the bed facing the ceiling. He was happy that he was going to be a father. He thought he was disabled and would never have children of his blood. God only knows how much Tina mocked him for their 5 years of marriage, and after his company went bankrupt, she finally found a reason to leave him. He couldn't stop her because neither did he have the money to keep her happy nor was he able to give her a child, so he let her go and be happy with a rich man, as they say, if you love someone you must learn to let them go for their happiness. “Meeting you is the best thing that ever happened to me, Melissa. I need to get you to agree to marry me before I tell you about the baby you are pregnant with.” Maxwell smirks. "I'm sure we'll fall in love with each other after marriage," Maxwell murmured with a smile on his lips. " What! Linda shouted as she stood in thedoorway. Realizing that Shina and Melissa were n
Leaving the office, Mark received a photo from Maxwell and went straight to the bus stop. After driving for an hour, he pulled over at the bus stop, he got out of the car, and leaned against the car while waiting for the bus.Mark was an average-looking guy – not particularly handsome or ugly. He has an average build, an average complexion, and average facial features. He doesn't stand out in a crowd, but he is pleasant to look at. After waiting a few minutes, the bus finally arrived and everyone started getting off one by one. When the person he was waiting for got out of the car, his heart seemed to stop for a moment. She was completely different from the picture, she was so beautiful. She was of average height with a slender frame. Her skin was smooth and lightly tanned, and her hair was a rich caramel brown that was straight and fell to her shoulders. She had big, bright eyes that sparkled with warm and inviting light, and her lips were full and soft. Mark was so absorbed in his
After making sure Mellisa was fast asleep, Maxwell gently put her head on the pillow and got out of bed. He realised that Linda and Shina were standing at the door. “Come on let’s go, she needs to rest now,” Maxwell said, walking over to where Shin and Linda were.“. Come on let’s go, Shina,” Linda said, pulling Shina out of her daze. She knew that she must be thinking about their mother who was once in a situation like this. The three of them went to the dining room, and Mark and Michelle were already waiting for them to arrive in the dining room. “Hi, Mark. Thanks for driving her home.” Maxwell greeted casually, making Mark’s eyes widen in shock. Almighty Maxwell Williams greeting his staff was something he never expected let alone being thanked by him. He thought he was cold at work and at home. Maybe he was so shocked because it was the first time he visited Maxwell’s house and the first he saw this side of him. “Sir don’t misunderstand me but are you okay?” Mark had no ch
Before the ambulance arrived, Maxwell ran out of the room with Melissa in his arms, followed by Michelle and Linda who had tears in thier eyes. Maxwell ran desperately, and even when Shina asked him what was wrong he didn’t stop, reaching outside the house, he put Mellisa in the backseat of his car and drove off. His heart was shattered when he saw Mellisa’s condition. Yes, he understood that her heart was broken but that didn’t mean that it was the end of the world, what was the point of killing herself for people who did not care about her, of course, No one was going to care for her if she did not care about herself. “Mark, take us to the hospital,” Linda said to Mark. Her heart pounded in her ear and her breath rattled. “Linda, what is it? Can you tell me?” Shina shouted, puzzled. Her father left without telling her anything with Melissa in his arms, who seemed to be unconscious. “ Melissa.” Linda stuttered. “ She tried to Kill herself, let’s go to the hospital now. “ “ What!
The triplets grinned from ear to ear as they entered the school with both of their parents. All the other kids gasped in shock when they realized that the Williams children had a father who looked exactly like both boys, especially Maxson. "Everyone's looking at us!" whispered Melina, who was walking in between her brothers. "No wonder why I'm so handsome. I take after my mother and father, and everyone who mocked us will see," Maxson whispered back. "Shhh, Mommy will hear us," Melina warned her brothers. Max couldn't believe his children were like this. He had thought they would be cute and playful, but instead, he was being pranked and blackmailed by his own 5-year-old children. It all felt unreal. "Have they always been like this?" Max asked, breaking the silence between him and Melissa. "Worse than this, yeah. They take after their father because as far as I remember, I was not like this when I was young!" Melissa said, having grown used to their behavior. "No way," Max said
It was already 9 PM when Melissa finished helping her children with their homework, bathing them, changing their clothes, reading them a story, and putting them to sleep. By the time she finished taking her bath, it was already 10 PM. Everyone was asleep, but Melissa couldn't sleep at night due to the terrible nightmares that haunted her. Instead, she spent her night working so that she could have less work to do the next day.After changing into her night clothes, Mellisa gathered her laptop, earphones, and phone before heading out of her room. As she walked towards the pool area, she noticed someone's back facing her. She frowned, wondering who could be there so late at night. She thought of turning back to her room, but then her earphones fell on the ground, making a sound. Suddenly, Max turned around upon hearing the noise. Mellisa quickly picked up her earphones, and as she looked at Max, she felt butterflies fluttering in her stomach. His deep brown eyes looked into hers, and h
The three of them walked slowly towards the couch, their eyes filled with a mixture of hope and uncertainty, resembling lost puppies searching for their way back home. As they approached, the room fell silent, and all eyes turned to them, curious to witness this pivotal moment."Are you our daddy?" They all asked at once. Maxwell, their potential father, felt his heart skip a beat as he gazed at the three children standing before him. His eyes sparkled with an overwhelming sense of joy, and his pulse quickened with anticipation. It was almost surreal to comprehend that he was now a father to not just one, but three beautiful souls. The magnitude of his happiness knew no boundaries, rendering him speechless, unable to articulate the depth of his emotions."Why are you so quiet?" the triplets chimed in unison, their innocent voices filled with curiosity. "Are you truly our daddy?" they asked, their eyes wide with anticipation.Rising from his chair, Maxwell approached them with a mixtu
Maxwell cried tears of joy, and it was as if God had not forgotten about him. His Melissa was still alive! Although he was angry at his grandma, he was so happy that she had saved Mellisa from all the Nadia drama and took care of her and his children. In no time, the car arrived at his mansion, and as soon as the car halted in front of his house, Maxwell ran inside the house. He was about to run upstairs to his room when Shina's voice stopped him. She was sitting on the couch with Michelle. "Dad, what happened?" she asked, rising off the couch and walking towards him."I have very good news," Maxwell said, his voice quivering with joy. "Mellisa and our babies are still alive." Maxwell's words caused China to sigh."Dad, you are just missing her. Mellisa is dead," Shina said sadly. "And now Linda is no more too.""Shina, I saw Melissa with my own two eyes and my grandmother is the one who had faked her death . I saw them together in a mall," Maxwell said. Shina's eyes widened and Mic
It has been a full five days since Linda's funeral, and yet the situation has only worsened. Maxwell has recently discovered that it was none other than Zick's younger sister who had been living abroad all this time, only to return with a so-called "revenge." Can you believe the audacity? Did she have any idea how cruel her brother truly was? Maxwell's eyes bore into the young lady sitting before him, her hands tied tightly behind her back. She was a blonde girl with piercing blue eyes, but her appearance did nothing to sway Maxwell's opinion of her. "So, you killed my daughter?" Maxwell's voice was cold and unforgiving, his disapproval palpable. The air in the room grew heavy with tension. The young lady remained silent, her eyes downcast. Maxwell continued, his tone growing even more gloomy. "Your brother and grandmother are the reason why my wife died. They abused her physically, emotionally, and mentally. And yet, even then, I did not kill them. I gave them the option to surviv
"Liana, how could you utter such words?" Riya exclaimed with a tone of utter loathing. "Do you truly wish to see me living like a beggar on the streets? Can't you perceive my advanced age?""I believe you are paying for your sins," Liana retorted with a cold and emotionless voice. "Mellisa's unfortunate demise was a result of your actions. If you hadn't instructed your men to abduct her husband, she would still be alive. Your love for your grandson has blinded you to the point where you can no longer differentiate between right and wrong. So, do not even think about blaming me for your misery."Zick's face turned red with anger. He couldn't fathom the thought of living on the streets like a beggar. What would people say when they saw the once-great billionaire Zick Nadia reduced to such a state? They would undoubtedly mock him, and he would lose all his dignity. All of this was because of Mellisa. Even in death, she continued to cause him trouble. He vowed to make Maxwell pay for ever
Maxwell's mouth hung open, his breathing constricted. He swallowed hard, feeling as though time had stopped and his world had come crashing down. He stumbled back a step, consumed by despair and disheartenment. Had Mellisa died before his very eyes, and he had been powerless to do anything? No! Mellisa had died today, and it was all because of him. If only he had been more careful, Zick's man wouldn't have threatened him with Mellisa and forced him to come with them. Mellisa wouldn't have stressed herself out, thinking about him all night and forgetting about her condition. It was all because of him that Mellisa had died, and he was alone in his guilt.Maxwell's chin quivered, and he felt a thickness in his throat, causing him to swallow hard. Tears streamed out of his eyes as he spoke with a cracked tone, "Doctor, please recheck. Maybe you have made a mistake. Please, doctor.""I'm sorry, there's nothing to check. She is no more. I offer my condolences to you," the doctor replied.Ma
Maxwell's eyes widened in shock and his heart started racing as he held Mellisa in his arms. "Bring a car," he yelled with urgency. Shina, who was quick on her feet, ran to the garage and returned with the car in no time. Maxwell gently placed Mellisa in the back seat and closed the door. Walking around the car, he hopped in and Shina started the car with great efficiency.Mark and Shayn ran towards Michelle who stood rooted on the ground. "Michelle, we should follow them to the hospital. Go and fetch your jacket and Shina's," Mark said with a sense of urgency. Shayne had already reached his car and started the engine.Without wasting a moment, Michelle ran to the car and entered inside. With no other choice, Mark followed her. As soon as he entered the car, Shayne drove off, heading to the hospital. Upon Shina's arrival at the hospital, the team of doctors was already waiting outside, as Maxwell had informed them beforehand. Without wasting any time, he carefully carried Mellisa out
Shayne and Shina left, heading to the location where they would find Zick. Leaving Mark alone, he was relieved when Mrs. Williams called him and notified him that Maxwell would be home safe and sound. He trusted her words because she had a lot of connections that would help them find Maxwell. If she hadn't called, he didn't know what he would have done frankly because the place Zick kept Maxwell was extremely dangerous."Hey," Michele said, startling Mark out of his daze. She walked to the couch and sat next to him. "Didn't you hear me coming? Did you find a way to bring Maxwell back?"Mark smiled a little. "Sorry, I didn't hear you," he said, his tone still a bit lost. "Did you manage to calm Melissa down? She didn't seem okay earlier.""She is sleeping now," Michelle said, sighing. "She is heartbroken. I'm scared that it will affect her health. You must find Maxwell as soon as possible."Maxwell will be here soon," Mark said, his voice dripping with reluctance. "His grandmother sent
