Maxwell was really angry; he did not think that she would disrespect and humiliate him by trying to be politely nice to him; she wasn't nice at all. He stood up, he needed to save his pride otherwise she might terminate the marriage and laugh at him. He will never let that happen. As he walked away, Veronica watched him, none of this would be happening if everything had worked out. Her husband was the first son of the Fairmont family, his family owned a family group of companies, he was the son of late Lady Fairmont who had passed away shortly after she gave birth to him. His father, the old Richard Fairmont, had to get married to another woman, his secretary and she bore two other sons for Richard. Her husband was not very favored at home. After he died, Athena and her mother had to be humble in the family, although his death was mysterious, their family didn't not bother to do anything. Richard's second wife and her son's were in charge and took over almost everything that belo

After Maxwell left Athena heading back home, his mobile phone began to ring and he took it out from his pocket only to see a call from Mirabella, her name flashing on the screen.He smiled and picked up the call he was about to call her and tell her that he had met up with Athena and that everything had worked out eventually.“Hey cousin” “Are you done meeting up with Athena? Tell me, how was it? Did something go wrong? Did she accept you? I was worried if you could pull this off and I have been pacing around all morning while staring at my mobile phone.Maxwell laughed. “You have to calm down, I told you I will take care of it and I did, everything worked out perfectly, I met up with Athena in her house”“How was the reception? I hope she wasn't mad that you showed up, not in your best clothes?” Mirabella was aware of the clothes that he had picked out to go meet up with her, after they were done from the cafe the other day, she had gone with him to his house and stayed with him. Wh

Sebastian glared at him, his eyes dimmed, his jaw clenched, fuming in anger.“How dare you do this to me?” He yelled, gaining the attention of the few people who were equally dining in the restaurant. They looked at the sight before them wondering what was going to happen next. “You deserve it for what you just said to Mirabella how dare you insult her you should have stayed away when you saw us, and not try to flash your wealth”“This lowly peasant!” He barked, his eyes blazed with anger as he reached out to grab hold of Maxwell's T-shirt, Maxwell took a step backward and he almost fell to the ground. Maxwell smirked, he molds his fist tightly while Mirabella watches with displeasure. So much for a nice meal. All she hoped for was just to have a simple meal with her cousin and return back home. She was not expecting to see an arrogant fool who thought that he could buy her with money.Looking at him he reminded her so much of John and she was disgusted. However, her thoughts were s

"What is he talking about?" Maxwell asked but Athena waved his question away." I need some fresh air" she announced and began walking out. Maxwell followed and in what seemed like five minutes the duo walked back into the hall. Veronica’s face immediately turned dark as Athena and Maxwell approached the table where she was sitting. The table was originally reserved for the Farmont family, but Grandma and her two sons were busy greeting and chatting with the guests who had just arrived.The elegant white tablecloth, crystal glasses and polished cutlery adorn the dining table. A centerpiece of fresh flowers with a subtle fragrance is displayed in a lovely vase. The soothing light of well placed candles creates a cozy and welcoming ambiance. Every place setting has an air of refinement when the linen napkins are folded and laid onExhausted from the drama that had unfolded a few minutes ago, as a result of her daughter's unreasonable decision to continue with her marriage to Maxwell, V

“There’s no way I’m going to let that happen." Veronica gave a fierce response and began to walk back to the hall.“Is there a problem?’ Maxwell asked calmly.‘It’s a little family issue, but trust me, everything will be fine’ Athena responded with an assuring smile. They both walked back into the dining hall.The next morning, after having his breakfast, Maxwell rode on his bicycle to school.He parked his bicycle on one side of the parking lot, but as soon as he locked it, a white SUV slowly parked in a spot across from him.He quickly looked up, inadvertently, and saw a young couple getting out of the car.The man was wearing a white shirt and a ripped bogus jean, looking handsome and smart.Meanwhile, the lady was dressed up in a flamboyant suit. Although somewhat gaudy, she was still considered beautiful.It turned out to be the famous John and Vicky, his now-ex-girlfriend.Maxwell didn’t care why they were here so early, but he knew the wisest thing to do at this point was to av
