ONE HUNDRED & ONE

"Did you meet someone new with the same name? Because if you tell me you guys are fighting over someone who is behind bars, I'll knock off your teeth" "Why me? I didn't do shit. Emilia insisted on going to see her and next thing I know we're fighting" At his raised eyebrow, Max filled him in on the events that had taken place the day before. When he was done, Preston shocked him with his reply "She's right. It is your fault" "Excuse me?" "You know I was there when you brought her home. You also know that I had fallen in love with her too..." "Yeah, not the time to remind me about that, asshole" Max cut him off gripping his glass harder. "Anyway, I saw the way your actions affected her. Every time Lisandra would do something that would take you away from her side. I saw her disappointment whenever you left and I tried to reassure her that she shouldn't be worried because she was your wife but that wasn't something she wanted to hear from me" Max looked at him incredulously

ONE HUNDRED & TWO

Emilia was angry at herself for letting Lisandra get into her head like that. It was as if that woman knew her weaknesses and pounced on her whenever she had the chance. God, it had felt so good to slap her. If they had been in a different place, she would have resorted to a full-blown catfight and tore the rest of her hair out. But since they were in there with guards everywhere, she hadn't wanted to do something that could have landed her in the same cell as that bitch. They would have definitely ended up killing each other. She wasn't the kind of woman who picked a fight with others. When someone tried to get a rise out of her, she always took a step back to avoid any conflicts. However, when it came to Lisandra, she turned into someone else. The fact that she even knew Gaby existed made her blood boil. How had she known that? Max knew and he hadn't told her. What was he thinking? That was what he'd been hiding from her and as much as she tried, she couldn't help but think if he d

ONE HUNDRED & THREE

Emilia came to, slowly peeling her eyes open, only to find Max lying beside her running a hand up and down her arm. His gaze was lowered between them and she figured he was deep in thought so she took a moment to study him. He'd aged over the years, especially in the last two but not so much. There were still traces of the boy who'd gone to Freddie's restaurant and left her big tips because she'd told him she wasn't a charity case. That boy had been sweet, caring, and in love with her. How could she accuse him of trying to be a hero? Why was it that whenever she lost her temper, she accused him of outrageous things? And he'd gone back. He always went back to her."Hey," she said adjusting the pillow under her head. He peered up at her. "I'm sorry" he muttered still moving his hand up and down hers "For being so blind and making you feel insecure. It seems that I haven't done enough to show you just how important you are to me. You're my life, Emilia" "Why didn't you tell me about

ONE HUNDRED & FOUR

Preston was throwing a party to get out of talking about babies with Thea. A classic Nash move. Whenever a girl became too clingy in the past, he'd throw a party and then be all over other girls just to send a message to the clingy one. Max didn't understand his logic but then again, only a five-year-old would understand Preston's thinking. So he promised him they'd all go to his house and spend the entire day drinking and catching up before they went back. The idiot had been so ecstatic that he'd planted a kiss on him. Growing up with him meant he'd had to accommodate his madness. They had met during the first day of kindergarten and to this day, Max still didn't know why he'd picked him as his friend. There were so many other kids he could have chosen. Pretty girls he could have charmed into being his groupies. The fact that he'd ended up with Preston still baffled him. He could have done so much better. "What's on your mind?" Emilia asked coming out of the bathroom. She was wrap

ONE HUNDRED & FIVE

"Hey Max," she said giving him a chaste kiss on his cheek and then stepping back. He ran his eyes over her. When was the last time he'd seen her? Talked to her? It had to be after Zander's funeral when she told him she was leaving. He couldn't remember what she'd said exactly, just that she needed to leave. "Gwen, when did you get back?" he moved to hug her properly but she took another step back away from him then TC was standing between them, asking how he was. "I hope we're not too late. Has the party started? Goodness, I'm thirsty. Where can I find a glass of water?" he knocked once then pushed the door open "Hey, do you want a drink?" he asked practically dragging Gwen inside. Max blinked then followed them, not understanding what was going on. Had he missed something? "Oh my God, Gwen, you're back" Darren exclaimed. If he hadn't been watching her, he wouldn't have noticed how she tensed when Darren picked her up and twirled her around. She was stiff and her hands were bunch

Emilia groaned, turning to lie on her back. Heavens, how much had she drank yesterday? And why hadn't Max stopped her? They had a rule. Whenever they went out, he would limit her alcohol intake. It wasn't that she couldn't control herself, it was just that once she started she couldn't stop. That and the fact that she was a lightweight, well, things tended to happen. Things she'd rather not rememb... Do you feel like using the bathroom? Max! They had been talking and even though Thea had spiked her drinks, she wasn't really that drunk. Until Max asked if she wanted to use the bathroom. Surely he hadn't gotten her drunk on purpose just so he could have his way with her. But then again she wouldn't put it past her husband. Once in a while, he reverted to the crazy party boy he'd been. While he didn't tell her much about his college life, she knew he was wild. Emilia whipped her head to the left, to find him lying there with a smirk on his face, waiting for her to wake up "Morning b

ONE HUNDRED & SEVEN

After breakfast, they'd decided to take Gaby to the park before leaving New York. The day was sunny and Emilia couldn't pass up the chance to watch her interacting with other kids. She barely did that because their house was a bit far from the other neighbors and until she started going to school, she wouldn't have a chance to make friends. Assuming they'd be comfortable enough to let her out of their sight. She shook that thought off and concentrated on the present. They'd cross that bridge when they got there. By ten, they had found a spot that wasn't too close to the playground but not too far either. The second Max put her down, she was crawling toward the other kids, her excitement clear in her hasty movements. "So are you finally going to tell me what happened?" Emilia asked folding her legs beneath her. "Jesus Christ Emilia, now I wish I hadn't told you" "I just want to know how it was. Like is he a good kisser?" Growling, Max opened the picnic basket and took out an a

ONE HUNDRED & EIGHT

Max pulled outside the mansion noting that Preston's car was also parked there. He would have wondered why his friend was there but Emilia's behavior was freaking him out. One second she was laughing at him and the next she was bundling Gaby up and running away from the park. What had made her so scared? Her skin was pale, blood having drained from it and she kept looking back as if expecting someone to follow them. Stopping beside Preston's car, he got out and opened her door, blocking her way out. "Tell me what's wrong. Why did we suddenly leave the park?" "I said I'll tell you once we get home. Can you please hurry up?" "Will you at least going to come in?" "No Max. I want to go home" "Okay, I'll get Mel then we can..." his ringing phone interrupted him. Taking it out of his pocket, he looked at the number. Unknown. Max silenced it "I'll be right back. Don't go anywhere Em" "If you don't hurry up I'll leave without you" "I wish you would tell... Dammit," he cursed when

"How do I look?" "Handsome as always. Are you nervous?" "Not really. I've prepared for this day for a long time. And I have you here Mom. There's nothing to be scared of" "You're right. I know you're going to be great honey. You've always succeeded in everything you set your mind out to do. What's left now is to be a father" "Mom..." "I have nothing to say about your wife today. I just hope that when you're finally a parent you'll realize why I'm so overprotective of you and your siblings" "You should give Em a chance Mom. She's great and I really love her. She's the only one I want to kids with" "I only want you to be happy my son. If one day I see that she's making you happy then I'll step aside and leave you alone" "Promise?" "I promise. Anything for you Max" "Okay, then I'll just have to get her pregnant. With a grandchild, you won't even have time to be on her case" "Silly boy" she swat his arm "I would like to be a grandmother too. I hope I'll live long enou

"No way I'll let you beat me. I am the king of games" "Prince you mean? Because the king is sitting right next to you. Let your old man teach you a thing or two" "Old men shouldn't even be competing. Isn't your back hurting? Do you need Mom to get a walking cane for you?" Max gaped at him, forgetting about the game "Excuse you, I'm not that old" "No, but you're old enough to be distracted long enough for me to beat you. Bow down for the winner Dad" he dropped his controller pumping fists in the air. Damn, it was his fault for falling into that hole. "This is unacceptable. You cheated" "I won Dad. Accept it and leave the throne because you are not fit to rule anymore" Smirking he got up "I might not be fit to rule but I still have my queen. Emilia?" "No" "Yes, Emilia?" "What's up?" "Nothing Mom. Dad wanted to know if you'd like to join us. We're going to the beach" "You are?" "We are?" Max echoed her question "I thought you said surfing was boring" "I changed
