Mellisa walked to the bed and threw herself off it, bursting into tears. She had no idea why she had yelled at Michelle, but she knew she was tired of being used by people who didn't care about her. Even though she put on an indifferent face when Maxwell told her that, when she actually thought about it, she realized how living according to what others wanted would only ruin her life. "I'm crying because of Zick Nadia - does he even care about me? No, he must be planning his wedding with his beautiful model. Why did he do this to me? What did I do to deserve this?" Mellisa sobbed, looking helpless and hurt.After reading the document Maxwell decided to go and check on Melissa and make sure that had her lunch and medicine. He knew that she was going to vent her anger on the maids in his absence, that's why he wanted to be present there and watch her eat her lunch. He was about to open the door when he heard her sobbing coming from her room. Knowing that she must have locked the door, h
Maxwell was furious with himself for lashing out at Melissa, but what she said had pushed him to say all those things. With a deep sigh, he sat on the bed. He knew that if he went to the office in this state, his workers would be terrified. As he was lost in thought, his phone rang. Without checking the caller ID, he picked up. "Did you get those goons?""Yes sir, we've managed to track them down. They were sent by Miss Tina Fey to kill your daughter," the voice on the other side, his undercover hitman, replied. "What do we do with them?""Kill them all," Maxwell said coldly. "As for Tina, leave her to me. I will deal with her in my way." Maxwell hung up and rose from the bed. He headed to the bathroom to take a cold shower, hoping to cool his anger.………" Shina, I'm really tired. I will go and meet Mellisa first before taking a shower. " Linda said as they were entering the house. " I will go and take a shower first, " Shina said, " I'm really tired, I will rest before thinking of a
Maxwell had a subtle smirk as he listened to Mellisa, knowing that she was only trying to help him out. He was delighted to hear her proclaim that she was his future wife, even though she was unaware of it. Clearing his throat, he realized that everyone was awaiting his response. "I am grateful to you, Mellisa, for chasing her out of my house," Maxwell said as he rose from the chair. "Now, please go and take your medicine and rest. After I am finished with my work, we can all go for dinner as Linda suggested." He then turned to Michelle and said, "Michelle, please come to my study room; there is something I need to discuss with you." After saying this, Maxwell left the dining room and headed to his study." Melissa goes to your room and gets some rest okay, " Michelle said to Mellisa. " Please don't stress yourself, okay remember the promise you made to me. I will go there shortly. " Michelle said and followed behind Maxwell. " Melissa, I shall take a shower and return shortly." With
Tina paced angrily around her room, her face contorted with rage. "How can Maxwell love someone else? I thought he loved me! No, no, I won't let this happen. I will make sure Maxwell loves me and only me." Tina murmured, her mind set on her mission. She walked to her desk and grabbed her phone. She dialled the number of the leader of the goons and waited until the call was picked up. "Hello, I have a new job for you," Tina said. "I promise to pay you with interest, please do this job for me.""All my men got killed because of the last job you asked me to do," the leader of the goons replied coldly. "This time if you want me to do any job for you, I want something else as payment, if you are up for that you know where to find me." The leader of the goons hung up the call. Tina threw her phone on the bed, her anger boiling over. "I guess I have no other choice," she said through gritted teeth. Knowing that she had no choice, she went to the bathroom to take a shower. …….."Maxwell, wh
Maxwell gestured to the chair and said, "Please sit." He pulled the chair out for Melissa like a gentleman, and said, "Be comfortable, ok?" He then sat opposite her."Thank you, Sir," Melissa said, flashing a half smile. "We will wait for Mellisa, Linda, and Michelle right?""They must be on their way right now," Maxwell said. "We can order if you are hungry.""No, we can wait for them," Melissa replied. "I don't mind."Maxwell then said, "Melissa, I wanted to say sorry for venting my anger on you the other day. I never shared my feelings about Tina with anyone, I was hurt that day that's why I said all these things and I'm sorry.""No, there's a need to say sorry," Melissa said. "I was the one at fault. I shouldn't have judged you without knowing the truth about you…I'm really sorry for that.""I guess both of us were wrong," Maxwell said.After that, no one uttered a word, creating a deadly silence. Maxwell wanted to ask Mellisa a lot of questions, but he could not bring himself to d
In no time Maxwell reached home and Mellisa was already asleep. Maxwell quickly made his way to his house, only to find Linda, Shina, and Michelle asleep on the couches in the sitting room. He assumed that they had been waiting for him and Mellisa, and had fallen asleep. He then proceeded upstairs, where he carefully laid Mellisa on the bed. Just as he was about to leave, she grabbed his hand in her sleep and murmured, "Don't leave me." Maxwell smiled, realising how much Mellisa trusted her. He sat next to her on the bed, watching her sleep. "You are so beautiful Mellisa and your lips are inviting, would it be a sin if I kissed you??" Maxwell murmured, he decided to kiss her, as long as he does not tell her she won't know anything. Maxwell leaned over Melissa, who was sleeping peacefully and lightly brushed his lips against hers. His kiss was warm and gentle, but as it deepened, the intensity increased. His hands moved to her face, his fingers lightly tracing her jawline. His lips
Maxwell questioned Mellisa, averting his gaze from her. "Hello!! Weren't you the one who asked me not to go last night? You even kissed me by force, a poor man like me could not even have the strength to fight against you, you were like a wild cat." A pink rose flush crept across Mellisa's cheeks, beats of sweat visible on her forehead. "Uh!!" She cleared her throat feeling ashamed. "I'm sorry, I didn't know what I was doing. Please forgive me." Without waiting for Maxwell's reply, Melissa quickly rose off the bed and ran to the bathroom.Maxwell couldn't help but smirk as he realized he had been able to easily and narrowly escape from Mellisa's room. He was relieved that she hadn't been suspicious of him and his problem was now solved. He quickly left the room and headed towards his own to get ready for work.Mellisa, on the other hand, was feeling quite strange and was starting to feel nauseous. She wondered what was happening to her and initially thought of consulting a doctor, but
Riya entered Zick's room a few minutes later, with a frown on her face. She walked towards Zick, who was lying on the bed and facing the ceiling. "Zick, what happened to you?" Riya asked in confusion, raising her eyebrows as she sat on the bed next to him. "I can't see Melissa anywhere, didn't you bring her home with you?"Zick sat up and sighed. "Granny, Melissa found a new lover for herself," he said. "She said that she will send the divorce papers soon. Please help me get my wife back."Riya gasped in shock. "What?! How dare she find someone else!" she exclaimed. "Don't worry, son. She will come back to you, whether she likes it or not. I will ask my man to find more information about the guy she is dating. If he is more powerful than us, then we have no choice but to blackmail her." Riya said, her words shameless and unapologetic." I knew that you would help me Granny, thank you so much. " Zick with a hidden smirk." I know that guy, Maxwell Williams. He is the first richest trilli
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
