Athena was just half way closed to the door. She heard her name from the voice she had hoped would call her. She paused and turned, only to see Maxwell walking towards her. Her mouth fell open.“I've been searching for you everywhere." He told her as she moaned. He let out a soft smile when he realized she was shocked to see him dressed so exclusively. “You are Maxwell Wilmore?” She asked in shock with her fingers pointed out to him. She locked her lip, and it suddenly cracked."Yes, I am Maxwell Wilmore. Are you surprised to see me?” He asked and seemed not to know what was coming his way.“You are not happy to see me, why?” He asked her. Athena shot her eyes, and the moment she opened her eyes, she gave Maxwell a dirty slap across his face.“Whoa! What the hell did you do that for?” Maxwell asked her while holding his cheek with both hands.“How dare you play games with me?” She maintained her gaze on him as she spoke. I trusted you, I believed you; what was your mission? To spy on

From the beginning, Maxwell knew there would be a problem the moment Athena found out about his identity. The guilt of lying to her this entire time lingered in his heart all night. He laid on his bed and thought about how to make her understand why he did what he did. Grandpa has set up multiple meetings for the week. It feels strange to Maxwell, but Uncle Zander has assured him that he will get used to all of it. Maxwell knows he would, but he is just overwhelmed by everything right now. Emerging as the new MD is something he never imagined would happen so soon.Maxwell laid in bed, tossing and rolling. The thought of losing Athena forever kept racing through his mind each time he tried to go to sleep. He managed to take it away. The rules Uncle Zander gave him to study were still lying on the table. He got up and turned on the light. As MD, he needs to know a few things about the casino and how it's been ruined. He has to learn a thing or two from people who have been in the busin

Athena got out of the car, grabbing her bag alongside her while waiting for Uncle Duncan to come out before she finally locked the car. He got out and adjusted his suit, still surviving the building as he had done the first time they arrived. His shoulders squared like they were pillars holding his proud body together. “This is what it means to be rich and famous. This is wealth, pure wealth." Uncle Duncan said it excitedly as he smiled from ear to ear.“Get a grip on yourself, uncle; these people are very bougie and classy; we can't afford to downgrade ourselves.”.“I'm trying my best to calm Athena. The luxury is just too much for me to pipe low." He said it excitedly. She shook her head and began to walk into the building. The automatic door opened, and she was in the lobby leading to the reception. Athena has always been classy and beautiful. She had in her hand her Chanel bag, which was a perfect match with her black dress. She spotted a lady at the reception busy with her syst

Athena left Grandma's house looking like she had fought in a thought war. Her hair was rough and scattered, and her shoulders drooped. She had obeyed grandma's instructions; now all she needs is to sleep and forget about all that happened at Wilmore's tower. She pulled over and stepped out of the car, then banged on the door like she wanted to pick a fight with it. She checked the back seat and pulled out the files she gave at the meeting. She sighed as it fell to the ground, just a few inches away from her leg. She picked it up and went into the house. Her mother was not in the living room today, so she thanked her sister for it. She isn't in the mood to say anything to anyone right now. She was emotionally down, and mentally, she didn't think she was strong enough to have a chat with her mom. She surveyed the sitting room. The mini artificial aleovera plant stood on the side of the table instead of the usual spot in the center. She is fully aware it had to be her mom; she's been the

Athena paused and looked at her mother. The words that came out of her mouth at this point are words that he never imagined her mother would say to her concerning Maxwell. Saba Bash has always been her choice. "Do you even mean those words, or do you just want to pull my legs?” Athena asked her as she paused by the door”.“You know what I am talking about, but I pray you don't chase him away,” she said. She had never heard her mom take sides with her on this one. I looked at her and hoped she was joking. But it turned out she was just joking about what she said, but dead serious. Just a moment ago, she displayed her rudeness towards him, and now she wants her to give him a chance. She shrugged her shoulders. “What changed, mom? What's with the sudden change? I thought you never liked him.”. Athea asked her mom, who was busy reading from a stylish English magazine. “I don't want you to miss this opportunity, Athena; it doesn't come twice,” she said to Athena with all seriousness,
