Two days of being held up at the hospital bed for more surveillance, Maxwell is finally taking me back home.

Maxwell has been looking sort of distracted since he came back but I couldn't be more elated with the progress and news of my child being healthy and safely tucked away in my belly, I promise to pay more attention to him now. I refused to check what gender it is, I want it to be a surprise. Maxwell badly wanted to know what gender our baby is but bummer for him, he's not the one with a child in his belly so he let me make the final decision.

“Ana, it's so good to have you back.” Jersey greets Maxwell and walks into the store with me.

“Thank you Jersey, I'm glad to be back here too.” I tell her sweetly.

Maxwell head upstairs with me trailing like he owns the place. The man has the ability to input and command his presence anywhere he went.

“You don't really have to stay here, you know that right?” Max tells me, looking like he was trying to hide a scowl at me staying here in

    I feel so refreshed and happy by the time this morning comes. All the stress and dramas in the past week allthrown in the trash can and long forgotten.Maxwell wakes up in a good mood because he's out in the kitchen making breakfast.I have my bath and get dressed up.“Where do you think you are going Ms. Gibson?” Maxwell asks me as he walks into the room with all hisbroad chest out for display and his pants hanging very seductively low.“Are you trying to seduce me Mr. Hyde?” I ask him Instead.“Maybe my missus, you just might never know.” He says as he moves to hold my waist.“Okay then, my Lord.” I say giving him a fake bow with a childish indulging smile on my face.“Really, where are you going Ana?” Max asks again.“To work.” I smile.Max's face turns into a frown slowly and then he groans. “But the doctor needs plenty of rest.” Maxinforms me like he really thought I suddenly developed amnesia over the night.“Well someone totally forgot and threw the doctors instru

    Maxwell picks me up later that evening after the store has been closed. I take a shower as slowly as I cannot at all looking forward to meeting both our parents.When Maxwell's car stands at the driveway, he shuts the engine down and we both don't say anythingfor a while.“If you changed your mind and you don't want to go inside, you can just tell me and I will take you out ofyour, no questions asked.” Maxwell firmly tells me.I smile in appreciation at his protective tone “it's okay darling, I'm fine.” I tell him.Max nods at my answer “promise me the moment you begin to feel uncomfortable and you want toleave you will let me know.” Max requests seriously.“I promise.” I reassure him massaging his hands.“Come on then, let's go face the two Satan's on earth.” Max says playfully.“We better hurry before they burn us for being late.” I tell him with a giggle.We get out of the car and go through the front of the house.This place feels so unfamiliar and strange, it feels

    “And you need to get that thing you carry in your belly out.” She adds.“What the fuck did you just say?” Max barks at her in an attack and I relax my back on the couch, nolonger surprised or about to be cut off guard by something my mother says.Bianca jumps at Max yell, definitely not reaction from her cool and easy going stepson.“It's always a fucking arrangement for the both of you is it not? Well we will not be apart of it, we areboth done being used as pawns in to stupid political and business games. All we ask for is for you to justbe parents, we are definitely not asking for too much. If that is too hard for the both of you, fine, we willunderstand like we have always done. We are leaving.” Maxwell angrily tells them and turns to carefullyhelp me out of the couch.“You are both just two very ungrateful pairs. You will surely regret this Ana, one day you will turn back andcome crying to me like you always do. You will understand that you have no life without me.” Bi

I feel like I'm about to throw up at the pictures I'mstaring at. In the first picture, Maxwell is laying naked on the bed, asleep with Scarlett standing over him,the next picture is of Scarlett laying on top of him, and the third is a picture of Scarlett kissing Maxwellwith his eyes closed.I can no longer look at the pictures as I sit on my chair, trying to breathe and process my feelings.

I walk upstairs to my apartment like I was being controlled.I go into my shower and refresh myself.I try not to think about it too much but I couldn't help it all night, I barely slept through the night and Iwas too scared to confront Maxwell about it, too afraid that h

    "That's good," I mutter tiredly. Seeing everything fall apart was all I wanted for so long, but now that it's actually happening, I find myself less interested than I expected.Jersey, standing across from me, studies my face carefully. "I think a warrant should be going out for both your mother and stepfather any moment now," she says quietly, her voice carrying a seriousness that matches the situation. "This is big, Ana. Are you okay?"I shrug, unsure how to answer. The truth is, I don't know what I’m feeling anymore. "Yeah, I guess," I say after a moment, trying to convince myself as much as her.Jersey doesn't seem to buy it. She watches me with concern, her brow furrowed. “You sure? It’s okay if you’re not, you know. This is... it’s a lot.”"Yeah," I repeat, softer this time. “I’m fine.”There’s a pause, thick and uncomfortable. Jersey looks like she wants to say something more, but instead, she rubs the back of her neck awkwardly. "I'm going to bed," she announces, and I know sh

    “I would love to come along with you Ana, I don't think I've told you this before but I love to explore, I'vealways wanted to leave the country, relocate somewhere else, besides it's not like I have anything backhere or a family I'll miss. My job is the only thing I have and my job lies with you.” Jersey says chucklingand I let out a sad chuckles of my own.“But what about the business?” Jersey asks and I shrug in answer.“I have no idea but each step at a time, if I do decide to leave, we'll figure it out, together.” I say holdingJersey's hand closely to mine. I cannot possibly explain the relieve and joy that came at her answer, I feltwarm all over. I just needed Beatrice to also agree to come with me, I was not sure I was comfortable withleaving her behind with Ryan. She had motherly affection for Ryan so I would respect whatever decisionshe would make.Another thought immediately crosses my mind and I turn to Jersey with a mischievous smile on my face.“You know, I was also

    Another thought immediately crosses my mind, and I can’t help the mischievous smile that spreads across my face. Jersey notices, raising an eyebrow slightly as I turn toward her. "You know," I begin, "I've been thinking." My voice has a playful lilt to it, though what I’m about to say is anything but a joke. "You’re really good at what you do in the jewelry business. Like, really good. You’ve been doing this longer than I have, and you know more about the inner workings than I ever could."Jersey's expression remains calm, though I can tell she’s wondering where this conversation is heading. She nods, a quiet acknowledgment of the compliment, but it’s clear she’s holding back a response, waiting for me to get to the point."You've taken care of the store long before I ever set foot in it," I continue, "and on top of that, you’ve always been the one looking out for everyone. You care so much about this place and the people in it." I pause, letting the words settle for a moment. “With
