My Darling Ex-Wife Is Unaware I’m Rich Chapter 85
The black SUV drove along the main road, Inside, Lenox sat beside Oliver in the back seat, his eyes moving from one side of the street to the other. It was his first time venturing this far from the heart of the city. He did not know whether it was the new environment or the reason for their visit, which made him even more scared.Two guards sat in the front, their expressions vain. Their arrival was meant to be comforting, but Lenox couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.“You look tense, Oliver said, his voice calm but laced with curiosity."I prefer environments where I know what is going to happen, Lenox said, not making eye contact with Oliver as he stared out the window.“You’ll get used to it, and remember we're here to do business not to take superfluous risks," Oliver assured him. As they left the paved road and turned onto a rough dirt road, the city scape disappeared entirely behind them. Into the woods with thick tall trees on either side, Lenox's heartbeat becam

The engine noise of the car was the only sound in the car as Maxwell and Katherine sat in the backseat in silence. Jackson, ever the stoic driver, focused on the road ahead, giving the pair their space. There was a kind of strain between them, but it was not born of anger or ill will. On the other hand, it was kind of a heavy sadness mixed with the expectation of a breakup.By the time Jackson finally arrived at the airport parking lot, the silence had still not broken . He got out of the car and opened the trunk, brought out some of the luggage as well as Katherine's suitcase. Maxwell, still sitting in the chair, observed Katherine as she got down, began to walk away from the car."Katherine, hold on," he murmured, his voice breaking through the silence.She stopped as she heard his voice. Maxwell reached out, gently taking her hand in his. He drew her in and held her against his chest. For almost a minute he kept her suspended there, the beat of his heart resonating beneath h

Emma had just concluded her session with Dr. Grant as she left the hospital and got into her car. She opened the glove compartment and picked out some sheets of tissue paper in order to wipe her eyes.It was an intense session as her and Dr. Grant discussed her need for validation and why she substituted that for material things. She was beginning to see that most of her actions were more selfish than intentional and for the first time she didn't like what she saw when she looked in the mirror. As she was backing out of the parking lot she was a bit absent minded so it came as a shock to her when her car brushed against the bumper of an SUV that was coming in.She put the car in park and came down anxious to see the damage she had done. The man that came down from the driver's seat looked familiar. It wasn't until he took off his sunglasses she recognized him properly. It was Jackson, Maxwell's driver and personal bodyguard."Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, I had no idea someone was com

Maxwell and Emma's Intimate moment was interrupted by the sound of Maxwell's phone vibrating in his pants. He broke free from her grip and kiss as he cautioned him back to reality. He stared at her for a few seconds before he got down from the vehicle and called Katherine back."Hey darling, I just arrived at my aunt's place, how about you, how did your doctor's appointment go?" She asked, sounding cheerful as ever."It went well, I wanted to grab some food and then I'll be on my way home. How was your flight, I hope they treated you like a queen in first Class?" Maxwell replied.There was no way he could tell her he ran into Emma, let alone that he was having a burger with her. Katherine told him her flight was comfortable and she missed him already. They spoke for a few minutes before she hung up.Emma came down from her side of the vehicle and stood staring at him with a hint of guilt in her eyes. "Maxwell I'm so sorry, I don't know what came over me, I really am sorry," she sai

Lenox had just acquired a new warehouse, since most of the former ones were compromised. He had twelve mercenaries posted there watching and securing the grounds. Inside the warehouse, he had built a few segments including a small container apartment for himself whenever he needed to be away or secluded.Outside, he had a few workers with counting machines and rubber bands counting and arranging money that was delivered from the meth trade. In just a week, things were looking good and business was coming back to life, but his mind could not get over the fact that Maxwell and Alfred were still out there plotting to get him."What the hell are we going to do about those two Oliver. You act like you're not bothered but just because they succeed in killing me doesn't mean they won't come for you," he said as he took a bottle of water from the mini fridge."I already offered the solution I could think of and look around Lenox, we're doing okay from it, you have enough money to buy more me

The morning sun had barely risen up when the sound boxing gloves swinging through the air filled the courtyard. In the heart of the manor’s courtyard, the clash of fists covered by gloves echoed.

The two men had both gotten up early, every muscle of their bodies prepared for the fight following a weightlifting workout, which had made their muscles tight and agile.Maxwell, was slow at first but was beginning to pick up speed as he moved with finesse . Each step, each punch and each block showed his stamina was picking up. Across him, Alfred’s enthusiasm burned brighter, his every move was laced with an energy that Maxwell envied. It was clear Alfred was enjoying himself, every dodge and counterpunch seemed to ignite a spark in his eyes.“You’re getting faster," Alfred said, panting slightly as he ducked another strike.“And you’re getting predictable,"Maxwell

Emma couldn’t get the kiss out of her mind. It wasn’t just the kiss itself. It was the way Maxwell had looked at her afterwards, the depth of his eyes, and the unspoken promises lingering in the air between them. Ever since, Maxwell had filled every waking moment, and even in the very dreams. Her therapist, Dr. Grant, asked questions about her emotional state and even insisted on her talking about changes occurring in her personal affairs. But Emma hadn’t mentioned Maxwell since that day not once. She wasn’t sure why. Perhaps because she feared her therapist would disapprove.Instead, Emma had taken a more proactive approach. She was determined to see Maxwell once more, and not by coincidence. She decided at last to look into what time he had his next appointment scheduled. It wasn’t easy, Maxwell was a private man, and the clinic took confidentiality seriously. But Emma had her ways.The reception desk had a nurse who was fond of her. Emma capitalized on it. At the outset, she

The sound of silverware against plates was the only sound in the dining room all afternoon long as Maxwell and Emma ate their meal. Maxwell focused intently on his plate, cutting into his food with precision, while Emma occasionally glanced at him, her mind racing with thoughts and emotions she couldn’t quite untangle.Every now and then, Maxwell’s eyes looked toward her, his gaze unreadable, but he quickly looked away. And for all his calm, she knew he was still very much attracted to her. And why wouldn’t he be? She had shown up uninvited, looking dashing and coming back into his life, a life she had walked away from only months ago.After the end of the meal, Maxwell slumped back in the chair, as if he was glad that it was over. Emma used the chance to ask.“What about Katherine?” she asked, her voice soft but intentional.Maxwell stunned, the sound of the name cutting through the already tense atmosphere. He placed his fork on the table, his jaw tightened. “She’s with her paren

She came downstairs and asked the maid about Maxwell and she informed her that he had left about an hour ago.Disappointed that she wouldn't get to express herself to Maxwell she went back upstairs. Waking into his room, she opened the walk in closet and began to pack her clothes and shoes into the guest bedroom at the end of the hall. She invited one of the guards to help her arrange them and instructed the maid to get her fresh linen curtains to brighten up her room.By the time she was done setting the bedroom up, she took a shower and got dressed. She asked the guard who had helped her get the room ready to drive her to the city mall.Upon arrival he accompanied her inside and carried the shopping bags from each store she purchased items from. For the first time in a while, Katherine had decided to go on a shopping spree, dresses, shoes and jewelry all of which were e

Dawn had barely broken when the sounds of boots crushing the dried grass underneath them were heard. Tactically Lenox's mercenaries circled the perimeter of Nathan's compound. In their hands we're assault rifles with silencers to mask the sound of the gunshots. They were dressed in all black and wore masks that covered their faces except for their eyes.Unfortunately their stealthy approach wouldn't last long as Nathan's compound was wired with motion sensors and as soon as they breached the perimeter the alarm went off.Immediately the guards we're alerted and they took their defensive position against the intruders. But these were simple men who barely had any tactical or combat training. Unlike the mercenaries who had trained most of their lives for these.The rained hell upon Nathan's guard in form of bullets as the tore through their defenses. Nathan on the other hand was prepared for this kind of situation as he had been raided by the DEA in the past. He had a safe room that h

"Wow, no wonder you couldn't wait to get me out of town. Now I know why. You're such a fucking piece of shit Maxwell, you know that. And to think I left Ohio and came down here to be with you while you're fighting a war," Katherine said as she stared at Maxwell. The vein in her forehead was apparently and it was glaring that she was furious. Before Maxwell could say a word. She tossed her hand bag at his head. Maxwell raised his hands in defense. He wanted to speak but deep down he knew there was no way he could defend himself especially in this sort of situation. What was his going to say? What was going to be his excuse?"And you? I knew deep down all you wanted was to get back in his bed. I knew I was right to be wary and on my guard whenever you were around, well you finally got what you wanted right? Get dressed and get the fuck out of our house this minute," Katherine yelled as she turned towards Emma.Emma's eyes turned to Maxwell as she expected him to speak or try to calm K

Maxwell and Alfred finished up their meeting with Jackson a little later than they had expected. Some of Jackson's contacts had ties to the drug world and brought Jackson's attention to Lenox's dealings with Nathan. "He's gone desperate, for him to stoop so low," Maxwell said to Alfred as they walked back into the house. Their conversation was cut short as they walked into the living room to find Emma asleep on the couch."I had almost forgotten she was here, I figured she would have gone home while we were with Jackson," Maxwell said.Alfred simply gave him a sarcastic look and patted him on the shoulder, "Do you want me to handle it?" He asked with a calm tone."No it's fine," Maxwell replied. Alfred turned towards the path that led to his room and walked away. He had told Max that he wouldn't be having dinner with them on the account of the burger he had earlier that day.Maxwell walked over and tried to calmly wake Emma up but she didn't respond. In truth Emma wasn't that sleep

When Lenox heard about the death of two of his Faction members. He was in between feelings. He was both angry but at the same time relieved. Their deaths meant he didn't have to pay back the money he owed them but it also meant he and Oliver were the only ones left on the hit list.They were on their way to the meeting with the Meth dealers to revisit the terms of their negotiations. Oliver had made the call for a sit down, even though he didn't like the idea of it.Upon arrival they met Nathan, the man they brokered the deal. He was seated outside the house having a smoke with a bit of whiskey left in the glass."You're welcome, please take your seats," he said to them as they got down from their vehicles. Oliver offered a polite smile in response while Lenox kept a straight face."Would you like anything to drink?" He asked as he observed the demeanor. They both declined as they took their seats and unbuttoned their suits. "So what's this I hear about you wanting to revisit terms,
