Michelle's mouth slackened, her eyes widened. Her stomach hardened in disbelief and she was at a loss for words. The way he would look at her, and sometimes he would invite her to come into his office for no reason, and how he would make excuses to chat with her made it clear to her that he liked her, but did he really have to be straightforward like this? Seriously, her heart was throbbing against her chest like it was going to explode, and her face was as red as a tomato without knowing what to say. Michelle gazed into Mark's piercing blue eyes, and her cheeks turned crimson with embarrassment. She cleared her throat and managed to stutter out, "Mark, what are you doing? You're standing too close, and I can't seem to control myself when you're this near. Please let go of me so we can talk properly." Mark chuckled at her words."I'll only release you if you agree to go out with me. I'm not playing with your feelings. I genuinely want to get to know you better because I like you so m
"No! No, I can't let this happen, I simply can't let this happen. Maxwell is mine and he is mine alone. I can't let him chase me out of this house," Tina murmured as she marched around her room. She grabbed her phone from the bed, her hands trembling, she dialed Zick's number. After a few rings, he answered."I hope everything is under control," Zick said from the other side."Nothing is under control. Maxwell is planning to chase me out of the house," Tina said with a shrill tone. "We must change our plan now.""Do you have anything in mind?""Yes, I know what to do. All you have to do is send the video to Shina on Friday.""Okay."Tina ended the call, a smirk on her lips. She walked to the wall and repeatedly banged her head until it bled. Quickly, she retrieved a wet towel from the bathroom and cleaned the walls. Leaving her room, she still had a smirk on her lips. Tina was quite determined to make Maxwell hers. She was not going to let Mellisa win, no matter what. In her mind, Max
Melissa's eyes fluttered open as a beam of morning sunshine caressed her skin, gently rousing her from her slumber. She sat up in bed, luxuriating in a long, languorous stretch that left her feeling invigorated and refreshed. As she surveyed her surroundings, her vision was initially blurred, but a quick rub of her eyes revealed that she was in Maxwell's room. She couldn't recall how she had gotten there, but she remembered falling asleep the night before. A pout formed on her lips as she glanced beside her, hoping to see Maxwell, but he had already risen. She then turned her gaze to the clock on the nightstand, and her eyes widened in disbelief as she saw that it was already 10 a.m. Mellisa was just about to leave the bed when Maxwell walked in with a tray of food, the aroma of which made her stomach growl. "Good morning, baby doll," Maxwell greeted with a warm smile as he walked toward the bed where she was. He carefully placed the tray of food on the nightstand and sat next to Me
Maxwell's breath quickened and his lips parted as he felt a shiver of pleasure. His gaze was fixed on Melissa, who stood shyly at the door wearing his shirt. Her long, milky legs were on display, and the two buttons of the shirt were undone, revealing her round breasts that would fit perfectly in his hand. Her long hair was let down, and she looked incredibly hot, causing Maxwell to swallow hard. As Melissa walked towards him, her hips swayed in a way that made her look even sexier. Maxwell wanted to make a sweet love to her until she lost her mind, but when he noticed her growing belly, he suppressed his desires.Maxwell got lost in watching Mellisa, which he did not even realise when she walked past him and sat on the bed. "I'm really hungry right now," Mellisa said, snapping Maxwell out of his dreamland. He walked over to the bed and sat next to Mellisa. His eyes fell on her flawless lap, and he couldn't help but admire it. However, he held back from planting a kiss on it. Mellisa
Maxwell's words were firm yet gentle as he pulled Melissa out of his embrace. "Let's get ready so we won't be late," he said with a smile. Melissa's lips formed a pout as she released her grip from Maxwell's neck. "Do we really have to go to the wedding?" she asked softly. "I just want to stay here with you, cuddled up in your arms all day."Maxwell's eyes lit up with joy and his heart swelled with happiness. He had been waiting for this moment, for Melissa to open up to him and share her true feelings. He felt like the luckiest man in the world. "Melissa," he called out as he hugged her belly, feeling the growth of their three children. "No matter what happens, always remember that I am yours. Maxwell loves you more than anything.""I love you too, Maxwell," Melissa said. "No matter what happens in the future, always know that you are the first person I fell in love with and I will only love you in this life and the following six lives. You will be the only one in my heart; no one c
Mellisa dashed out of the hotel, her heart thumping in her chest. She had been scouring the place for Maxwell, but he was nowhere to be seen. She had a premonition that something was amiss, and she was determined to locate him.She sprinted down the street, her eyes frantically scanning from side to side, searching for any trace of her spouse. But it was too late. As she turned the corner, she witnessed a van speeding away, and she knew deep down that her husband had been abducted.Mellisa was engulfed by a wave of panic. She wanted to pursue the van, but she knew it was futile. She had failed to safeguard her husband, and now he was gone. Tears streamed down her face as she watched the van vanish into the darkness.She hurriedly returned to the hotel, attempting to maintain a facade of composure so as not to ruin Pathy's wedding. Luckily, she spotted Michelle, Linda, and Shina seated at the same table. She made her way over to them. "We must leave now, let's go," she said."What happ
Both Shayne and Mark exchanged a questioning gaze, but Sheyne seemed to find the situation rather amusing. "If I may inquire," he raised his eyebrows, "what exactly do you plan to do?"Shina scoffed, "Men like Zick are easily defeated by beautiful, hot, and sexy girls," she said with a smirk playing on her lips. "It's time I used the feature that God has gifted me to save my family." For some reason, Shayne's eyes lingered on Shina more than they should have. His throat went dry when he realised how beautiful she was, and he swallowed hard. "Are you going to have s**ex with him?" he asked, for some reason his heart racing at the thought. Shina's body temperature rose, "Do I look so cheap to you that I would go around sleeping with anyone I see in the street?" she glared at Shayne with a pinched expression. "I'm just asking you to know," Shayne said.Shina's response was cold and harsh, "Watch your tongue. If you're going to spout nonsense just because your father is a mafia, then
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
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.
