"We have dirty minds, but we were doing nothing last night. Weren't you doing something dirty last night? Which is better, Michelle? Shina said."It is better to have a dirty mind than to do something dirty," Michelle said, supporting Shina.Melissa shook her head in disbelief, her cheeks burning red like tomatoes. "Let's do what we came here for," Melissa said, avoiding the topic.As soon as they reached the shop, everyone inside was chased out as Maxwell told the shopkeeper. The four of them did their shopping, laughing and making jokes. They looked so happy together like they had known each other for a long time. Even Shina, who used to be cold most of the time, was laughing happily. Melissa's presence made her so happy that she wanted to stay with her forever." Guys, I want to use the bathroom. I will be right back. "Melissa said and headed to the bathroom. The three girls waited for her sitting down on the couch. The things that they had brought were taken to the car by the gu
Mellisa's words made Zick's blood boil in anger. His ego was already bruised because he hadn't been the first man to touch her, and now she was rubbing salt into the wound by telling him how good Maxwell was in bed. "I want you to get rid of these illegitimate children that you are carrying," Zick said coldly. "After that, I will take you home and fu***ck you until you forget all of his touches," he added, turning to his men. "Bring the pills," he commanded, and one of his men quickly handed them to him. Mellisa scoffed in disbelief. "Do you really think I'd let you harm my babies because of your ego and obsession? No way! And I'm not going anywhere with you - my husband must be waiting for me at home." She shook her head in disapproval, her voice full of disdain.Zick's eyes widened in shock, looking like they were about to bulge out of their sockets. Without thinking twice, he punched Mellisa in the face, causing her to fall to the ground, blood dripping from her lips and nose. "Ho
Maxwell carefully laid Mellisa in the car's back seat, then closed the door. He pulled out his phone and dialled the doctor's number. After a few rings, the doctor answered. "Doctor, I need you at my house when I get home. If possible, bring the hospital with you," Maxwell said, his voice husky and his face red with anger. "The whole hospital?" she asked, frowning. "I'll be there soon," she said, not wanting to offend Maxwell. "If I get home before you, your career is over," he said and hung up. He got in the car, started the engine, and drove off.…. The sound of Tina's heels clicking on the floor echoed through her room as she paced, her phone clenched tightly in her hands. She checked it over and over, her brow furrowed in frustration. "Why hasn't this fool called yet?" she muttered. Suddenly, her phone rang and her eyes lit up. She answered it quickly. "I hope you've got good news," she said. On the other end of the line, a sigh. "He found her?" Tina asked, her teeth grittin
Maxwell's mouth dropped open in surprise as he saw Mellisa's sudden change. He couldn't believe that someone could change so drastically in just a day. His brows furrowed in confusion as he tried to understand the situation. "Mellisa, I know I told you that crying isn't worth it, but sometimes it's necessary to let it all out. I won't judge you, I promise," he said, still finding it strange that she was behaving so differently.Mellisa smiled at him. "No, I won't cry because of that monster anymore. I'll cry for better things. Today I realized that I have a bigger reason to live and be happy," she said.Maxwell raised his eyebrows, curious to know what she meant. "And what is that reason??" He asked. "My babies, if I keep on crying over things I can't control, then my babies will also be sad and I might lose them as I almost did today. So from today onwards I will be happy, my baby's happiness lies in my happiness," Melissa said with a smile.Maxwell blinked at Melissa, "Are you sure
Tina was feeling frustrated as the laughter coming from the room three steps away from hers was preventing her from getting any sleep. It was early in the morning, around 5:30 am, and she had just come home late after meeting with Zick the night before. With a flushed face, she headed to Shina's room and saw four girls enjoying themselves while she couldn't sleep. She couldn't help but express her disapproval."What's wrong with you guys? It's way too early in the morning to be making this much noise. If you don't want to sleep, at least let others get some rest.I know that illiterate people are fond of making noise but please behave. " Tina said, her voice stern.The four girls stopped what they were doing and looked at her, with Melissa shaking her head in disbelief. "Illiterates, you say ? Wow, what a way of greeting people ," she said, a smirk on her face, as the other girls burst into laughter."Like seriously, how can someone who is jobless have the audacity to insult other peop
Maxwell's face turned ashen as Mellisa insisted on taking him to the hospital. "If I go to the hospital then the doctor will give me an injection, I'm scared of the injection," Maxwell said, his heart racing. Mellisa's mouth hung open as she looked at the man on the bed, and a bark of laughter escaped her lips without her wanting it. How could a huge and scary man like Maxwell fear an injection? It was so unbelievable that Mellisa couldn't help but laugh even more. Maxwell glared at Melissa, who was laughing with a pinched expression. Was she really making fun of him because he feared injections? So what if he was huge and scary? Everyone has their weaknesses right? "Laugh all you want, making fun of me," Maxwell said, narrowing his eyes. It was actually the first time he had seen Mellisa laugh like this, and she looked so beautiful, but it was nothing good because she was making fun of him."I__I'm sorry. I didn't mean to laugh but you are impossible, you are good at making people
Mellisa's heart pounded as she entered the kitchen, feeling like it was going to burst out of her chest. She knew that what was happening shouldn't have been happening in the first place. She wasn't ready to be in a relationship with anyone, she needed to focus more on her children and herself before thinking about getting attracted to anyone… "Whatever it is that I'm feeling, It must die before I can repeat the same mistake. Yes, he is different, but people do change and I can't trust him completely. I should stay away from him. She murmured to herself, her face burning red, thinking about the kiss they just shared.Mellisa took a few moments to calm herself down before she gathered her ingredients and began making a soup for Maxwell. After 30 minutes, she was done and left the kitchen to head to Maxwell's room. When she kicked the door open and entered, she was met with Maxwell's seething anger, so intense that he didn't even seem to notice her presence. Walking over to the bed, she
"Thank you for not misunderstanding her; you are a stranger and I know that I shouldn't have shared her personal matters with you, but you are a woman, you understand her better than I can understand," Maxwell said. "I'm not used to begging people, but please don't terminate the contract with her; she was very happy and honoured to make your dress," Maxwell said, he realised that he can do anything for Meliss. Pathy handed the phone back to Maxwell, frowning. "Why would I terminate the contract? I came here to check on Mellisa after such a terrible sex tape was released; I wanted to hear Mellisa's side of the story before the media gets to know about her being the one making my wedding dress," Pathy said. "Oh! I didn't know," Maxwell said. "Can you call her for me? I need to talk to Mellisa," Pathy said."You can take a seat," Maxwell said, gesturing to her to sit on the couch. "I will be right back. Don't talk to a woman who I know will definitely come here and feed you with lies,
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
