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
Melissa's hands began to tremble and the phone she was holding dropped to the floor. She started to feel dizzy and was about to fall, but Maxwell was there to catch her. His quick reflexes saved her from a nasty fall.Maxwell was taken aback by the sight of Melissa's pale face and immediately questioned her, "Melissa, what happened? Why do you look so pale?" Although he was unsure of who had called, he knew that his guess was correct - only a spineless man like Zick could have made her cry. He was left to ponder what had been said that caused her to be in such a state. Feeling that something was wrong the three girls rose from their chairs and rushed to Maxwell and Melissa's side." P--Please, help me save my uncle and aunt.."Mellisa pleaded with tears in her eyes. " Z--Zick kidnapped them, I can't go back to him, please help me. '' Mellisa's plea was filled with desperation and anguish as she begged Maxwell for help. Her tears were a testament to the trauma she had endured at the han
Maxwell raised his eyebrows when he saw the look of confusion on Mellisa's face. "Mellisa, are you alright?" he asked, remembering how she had gotten sick from his perfume the last few days. "Am I making you uncomfortable?"Mellisa bit her lip, unsure of what to say. She had been living with Maxwell for a month now, but she still knew nothing about him. What if he was a serial killer, or worse? "Who are you?" she blurted out.Maxwell chuckled, swallowing his laughter before speaking in a serious tone. "I thought you knew who I was. I kidnapped a lot of women and sold them overseas, that's why I'm this rich. I'm absolutely bad news."Mellisa was sweating by the time Maxwell finished speaking. Her eyes widened in shock, and she didn't realize that he was only joking. "Are you going to sell me too?" she asked fearfully.Maxwell wanted to burst into laughter, but he stopped himself when he saw Melissa's teary-eyed. "Please don't sell me," she begged. Maxwell smiled and said, "Melissa, I'
Maxwell's face was twisted in grievance as he entered the dining room and saw Melissa slumped over the table. He placed the plate of cake down and pulled out a chair to sit next to her. "What's going on here, Melissa? Are you feeling tired?" Tina, who had been watching from the doorway, felt a wave of hatred for Melissa swell inside her. She quickly turned away and left the house, her heart heavy with resentment.Melissa raised her head and faced Maxwell, her eyes filled with tears. She had been trying to forget the events of the past and the pain inflicted by Zick, but she couldn't seem to get it out of her mind. It was like a movie playing on a loop, and she felt helpless to make it stop. The rejection from her husband was the worst, and watching him make love to someone else in her presence was unbearable. "Sir, am I ugly, disgusting, or unlikeable?" she asked, her voice shaking with emotion. "Please tell me honestly," she pleaded, her heart broken.Maxwell clenched his jaws, grind
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
