Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Raffy leaned in for a kiss when he felt a palm covering his lips. Max grabbed his face and brusquely pushed him away from Celine. ‘I think you’ve squeezed and sniffed my girlfriend enough.’ Raffy almost fell flat on his back when Max released him and wiped his hand on his trousers.
‘Oh baby, you’re back. I missed you,’ Celine said before reaching up for a kiss.
Max touched his lips briefly to hers and whispered, ‘Babe, your father is watching right now. Let’s not give him ammunition to fire on both of us.’
Celine looked at her father and glared at him. ‘I don’t care. You can take me in front of everyone here to prove we are together.’ she said a little too indignantly as she tightened her hold on his neck.

Victoria Manchester’s house was impressive. It was located in the hilly neighborhood of La Jolla, overlooking the waters of the Pacific Ocean. Max walks through the wrought iron doors welcomed by the high vaulted ceilings and double staircase framing the foyer. Underneath the staircase was an archway that led to the most stunning living room he has ever seen. It was fortified by an elaborate stone fireplace, travertine floors, and arched windows that doubled up as doors that opened out into the garden, giving everyone a clear view of the pathway that led down to the beach.‘Would you like to take a tour of my home?’ Tory came down from the dramatic staircase, making her grand entrance.‘Your house is gorgeous, but I do not want to bother you.’‘No, come, I have nothing to do
Max's Revelation 75 - Tory
‘No, but…’ Tory raised her right brow. ‘What? You think you’re the only one who can do it?’ ‘I’m not going to defend myself. What I do with the men in those pictures is my business, but if you should know. Most of them are business deals, just like the one you are entering now. I don’t require the men to sleep with me. Plus, most of them could've been my son. What would he think if he found out I slept with men who could have been one of your friends... I mean his friends.’ ‘So do not worry, Max Johnson, I am not here to sleep with you. And please call me Tory as everyone does. It’s my designer label.’ ‘So what is it you really need from me?’ ‘Nothing. I wanted to be your friend.’ She smiled as she picked up the dessert spoon. ‘I don’t want Nathan and his kind to succeed. They should change their ways already. Plus, I want you to get the girl and be happy because that makes me happy.’ She said as she looked at him sincerely. Tory’s face was so expressive, and it looked like she
Max's Revelation 76 - Running Away
CelineAfter I kissed Max in front of my father, things only spiraled down from that day. They expected me at dinner every day, and there was no excuse. I’m hating coming home. No matter how much I love my parents, I’m beginning to despise them too, especially my dad. For the past few days, they have been inviting people to have dinner at our place.They had one line. ‘Oh, surprise honey, look who decided to visit? They dropped by only because they were in the area.’I’ve never seen so many people randomly visit my house as I did this month. And of course, not to be rude, I also had one answer for them before I walked out and left them with their dessert.‘I have a boyfriend, and I am sorry my parents wasted your family’s time, but I love my boyfriend, and we are not breaking up. He is the VP of marketing at SST. Look it up.’So by the time I met Max that weekend, I was so high-strung I was ready to rip o

Who let you in?’ Clara demanded when she finally got her affairs in order.‘We got in last night, and you said you wanted to rehearse and set up the equipment before the presentation, so here we are. Tada!’ Max said with jazz hands waving in the air. She just rolled her eyes.‘You guys are too early. I still need a nap. Baz didn’t let me sleep last night. Please leave.’ she plopped down on the sofa, snuggled with a pillow, then yawned and closed her eyes.‘Clara, are you serious? Do you really want us to leave?’ Jeremy asked.

‘Let’s go to Vegas and get married.’ Celine blurted while she lay on the sun lounger with her eyes closed.Max looks at her disbelievingly. ‘What?!?’ She opened her eyes, surprised by his tone.‘Let’s get married. I figured my dad would never agree to us getting married. He will just keep trying to find someone, and I will keep saying no.’ she shrugged as she gauged Max’s reaction. She wondered if he would say no.‘To eliminate all the drama. Let’s do it. So he can’t say no.’ She sat up and stared at him directly.‘I’m… I’m not disagreeing with you. The idea passed through my mind, and I was going to ask you about it. It’s just weird that you said it first.

They were having fun riding Sebastian’s plane all the time. It was the perk of knowing a billionaire and being closely related to one. What they had really wasn’t a terrible deal, having 2 houses and a place to stay wherever they were. They didn’t even need to pack any outfits since there had closets full of clothes in both locations. The thing is, they couldn’t decide which place to choose, where to stay and which one to leave, and the more the couple got together, the more they wanted to settle somewhere, where it was just them, so they both agreed that Celine would join Clara’s company, SST and Max would find them a house to settle in, something they could call their own.

‘I feel nervous as hell. We’ve done this a hundred times before, yet I feel like it’s our first time.’ Celine had been in the bathroom for the last half hour since the reception ended. She couldn’t enjoy the party because she kept thinking of what might happen tonight, resulting in frayed nerves and an empty stomach.Celine hesitantly left the bathroom. She knew prolonging the inevitable would only result in disaster. But the minute she walked into their honeymoon suite, the smell of fries and burgers invaded her senses.‘Hey babe, I ordered room service.’ Max greeted as he arranged the plates on the coffee table in front of the TV, as they always did when they were still dating and binge-watched one of their shows. ‘I saw you touched none of your food, so I ordered us some burger and fries.

Is that when I woke up after he abducted me, his butler declared dad was on the phone.’‘Why was Raffy calling you dad?’‘I wanted to tell him you were in town because he kept calling the past few weeks and wanted to know when he could visit.’‘He said you approved of him as your son-in-law? How could you do that to me? You sold me to the devil, and he saw that as an excuse to do what he wanted with me.’ she looked at her father accusingly. Celine was so mad that her father had something to do with Raffy, thinking they had welcomed him into the family when Max was not.Celine and Clara’s parents, Nathan and Emelia Jacobs insisted on visiting afte
Max's Revelation 102 - Home
It took an hour for the couple to arrive at Sebastian’s house, and to expedite their travel, they were escorted by the motorcycle brigade to navigate and clear the traffic. Otherwise, with the congestion in the city it would have taken them a few hours to get home. By the time they got home, both sets of parents were present together with their siblings. ‘Max–’ ‘Celine–’ ‘We’re so–’ ‘You’re here!’ ‘I’m glad–’ ‘Are you–’ They all yelled excitedly, but Max ignored them and carried Celine directly to the bedroom.

Max's Revelation 101 - Captured
Raffy laughed out loud as he watched the cops breaking into his mansion and finding nothing. ‘You idiots will never find me.’ He left his butler at the mansion to deal with the authorities as a taunt. He knew Max was more resilient than any regular husband, and could track him down faster than the police or the FBI could, so he had to take measures to cover his tracks.The house he was hiding in was purchased for the sole purpose of keeping his victims, like Celine. It wasn’t recorded in any of his financial books, or any of his aliases, and he figured it would take time before they find him, enough to carry out his plans and have sex with Celine. If she doesn’t cooperate, who knows what might happen? He might just do what he threatened her with, and tie her to the bed. He shook his head, remembering how the other women reciprocated his affection.

Celine pulled off all the pictures from the wall, every single one of them, and tore them up into little bits and pieces to satisfy her anger. The last piece that pushed her over the edge was a naked picture of her as she slept, with a hand squeezing her breast. She knows that Raffy probably had copies everywhere, but with Jeremy and Max’s help, they could erase all this embarrassing information from every computer, phone, and tablet Raffy might have them saved in.‘I’m so screwed.’ She cried while scrubbing her face with both hands. ‘Max will hate me for this. Fuck! Now I have to do what Raffy says or he’ll leak the pictures out. Oh, I don’t care. Fuck him! I won’t do anything I don’t want.’ she debated as she paced around the bedroom.‘Why do these assholes have to follow me all

We called her department, and they said she left early yesterday. What should I do?’‘Search the entire building and see if you can find her phone. Check the parking lot and see if her car is still downstairs. Maybe she ran away with another guy, who knows.’ Sebastian answered.‘What is it, sweetie? I did not get what you were asking.’ he focused on Clara and her laptop.‘This woman was in the elevator yesterday with my sister before she disapp
Max's Revelation 98 - Trouble
Celine lies back in bed and curses. ‘How am I going to get out of here if I don’t have clothes?’ So she started exploring Raffy’s bedroom, hoping to find something more decent to wear, when she noticed the pictures on the wall. ‘Fucking pervert!’ she exclaims.There she was, splattered on every surface of the room. Different sizes and images of her. One had her laughing, the other brushing her hair away from her face, and another of her eating. What bothered her more were the pictures of her in different states of undress. In one she was in a bath towel, another in her underwear, while the others had every outfit she has donned in the past year. She even had one in the lingerie she was wearing right now. The pose reminded her about that night she wanted to send Max a naughty video, to which he ended abruptly.

Is it true that they got married?’ she whispered while getting closer to Celine.‘Yeah, they did. It was a lovely ceremony. I helped plan it.’‘That’s a big ring you have on your finger. Rumor has it that you’re married as well.’‘Can you keep a secret? I got married in Vegas last weekend. Eeekkk…’ Celine said excitedly.May squealed, ‘Omg, are you serious? That is so unexpected.
