Riya laughed at the tension on Maxwell's face. She knew he was scared and for some seconds she remained silent to allow the silence eat him up."Riya, are you serious?" He asked in a rather deep and concern tone."Hell yeah. Look I don't know what happened between you two but if my cousin is really in a relationship with someone else, that would not end well for you, you know that right?"Her words seemed to scare Maxwell more but he didn't let her see the nervousness on his face.He faked a smile and walked slowly away from Riya." I hope you are not planing on going to ask her, Max? " Riya asked as he walked away. " Why should I not ask her?" He asked in a low voice turning back to face Riya. "Please, don't. I do not want it to seem like I was talking to you about the things she said to me" She replied softly. Maxwell nodded his head in acceptance. Deep down he wanted to really understand what was going on but Riya obviously did not have the full information and only Amelia cou

The ride was a long one as all he wanted was to get far away from his problems as much as he could but there was no way he could consider traveling out of town. That will only mean putting his job on the line.He had a whole day to himself to heal and restore his sanity at least to a reasonable stage without letting anything bother him and he has sworn to make the most of it.Immediately he spotted a bar where music was being played on a loud speaker, he asked the cab driver to stop and he highlighted after paying him.As he walked closer to the bar, it looked more crowded and the music started sounding even more louder. Somewhere cool to ease his mind huh.The bar was designed with different colours of bulb and lights shining and crossing its light at every corner of the room. There were different ladies dancing on the stage while some where striping around the corners, however, they were not his concern at the moment. His concern was setting himself free of his troubles while resto

The house was becoming uncomfortable for Maxwell as he kept tossing himself around on the bed unsure of what exactly to think.It was bad enough that Amelia was into someone else at the moment but what was worse for him was how to face Wilson knowing that his big deal was crashing.He sat up on the bed pondering on what to do when a slight knock came on the door. Knowing it was Riya who had that style of knocking he opened the door and let her in."Aren't you going to go say hi to your father in law?" She asked calmly and she sat in the bed."How exactly do I do that considering the situation at hand"He replied sounding rather nervous. His response stirred up Riyas concern as she sat still staring at him in surprise."What. What situation?" She asked in a concerned tone."Are you seriously asking me that, Riya" Maxwell asked staring at Riya in wonder."Frankly Max, I do not understand what you're talking about?" She said in a rather sincere tone."Same Amelia's relation problems, rem

It was getting dark so he could not see who it was that was walking into the compound clearly.The movement of the person seemed familiar yet he could not point out who it was."Maxwell, I bet you were not waiting for me" Harrison said as he approached Maxwell."It's Harrison after all" Maxwell whispered to himself and slowly began to approach Harrison too.He walked on a slow pace taking each step one after another."You've been out all day, I couldn't help but wonder" He said as he reached Harrison."It's my day off remember. I had a lot of fun today. Can't believe what I've been missing out while driving a family around town for years." Everyday are not the same. Let's say it was your lucky day" Maxwell replied. A lot was running through his mind at the moment and he didn't really have the time for a long talk with Harrison.However, he noticed the way Harrison staggard as he walked towards his apartment."Are you Okay?" He asked in a concerned tone as he followed him."I'm fine,

Maxwell gave Harrison some water after the soup he had given him earlier made him throw up.The alcohol seemed to have cleared a little yet Maxwell didn't think him fit to drive at that state."You're lucky your boss isn't home. How would you drive him around like this?" Maxwell asked.Harrison hissed and said in a cold tone. "If you think being intoxicated can make me loose my focus while on the steering, think again" He again.Maxwell tilted his head and said in disapproval. "The last time I was in that state I totally lost control and I woke up to find a lady beside me who I didn't even know" He said.His mind wandered back to when Amelia had attempted suicide which landed her in the hospital and how he was also mysteriously kidnapped and held hostage for days."You're young" Harrison said."The more reason I should be able control it more than an old man." He mocked. Harrison scoffed and sat on the couch in his little apartment. The house was built like a boys quarter where Wils
