Riya paused at her question and went mute for a few seconds.ii"My uncle is not a very good person. As a matter of fact his daughter hates men because of him. She hates him more.He threatened to kill Maxwell's parent should he fail to produce him a male heir in time to come" She said.Mrs Bernard's look became rather dull as she glanced around the room in disbelief."How is this coming about then since you said your cousin who he is allegedly married to do not like to be around men." She asked with a puzzled look on her face. "Well, she..she...I do not even know how to explain this.She hated him very much until few days ago when she started asking me questions about him for the first time. I think she is beginning to like him and it will be so unfair if she finds out that I am already pregnant for him" Riya lamented in a sad voice. "Riya... No.. It was not your fault. It is never your fault. Maxwell likes you and it seems to me like he is in a lot of trouble himself." Mrs Bern
"Amelia" He asked with a surprised expression on his face.She stood before him wearing a nightie as he stared at her with surprised in his voice.He did not understand why she was there by his door at that time of the night but he could tell from the look on her face that she was not okay."What is the matter, Amelia. Are you alright?" He asked in a low voice as he stared at her wide eyed.Amelia who was holding the jacket of there nightie tightly over her body muttered in a low voice "Maxwell.. I can't sleep" She said in a low voice. Maxwell moved out of the door when she asked "Can I sleep in your room?". He was beyond shock to hear that coming from her and for the first time since he got to that house, she was actually asking something of him politely. "Yeah...come in.."He said moving out of the way gor her to enter. " What is wrong with you.. Are you feeling sick? "He asked in a low voice. She climbed up on the bed and sat with her legs folded together and for the first fiv
Maxwell could not explain how Riya suddenly appeared in the mansion.He tried to hide his shock but Matty seemed to have already noticed when she asked him in a low voice."You're surprised to see her, ain't you? ... I was also surprised when I saw her walk into the house at the early hour of the day.I had to ask her if she took a night bus" Matty said with a little sarcasm and they all smiled at her joke.Maxwell was very confused at the moment as he never expected to see Riya at the house that moment.He walked out of the door and closed it behind him.Riya stood staring at him as he came close to her "Hey.." He said searching her face with his."Is everything okay?" She asked him a low voice.Maxwell breathed in and said " Yes Riya.. Everything is fine except that.."He had not completed the sentence when Amelia suddenly opened the door and walked out in her nightie.She stood in shock when she saw Riya and Maxwell standing outside the door, she didn't know what to say as she sto
Maxwell stood staring at her in surprise when she said that.He did not know how to feel as he was not comfortable at all with the idea of going to meet with her bosses.Of all the things he expected to hear from her about the conversation the had his presence was the least.."Why... Why does she want me to come?" He asked her in a low voice as he stared at her in surprise."I think she wants to just see you and know who you are. Perhaps recognise you as the father of our unborn child and seek your permission before taking any decision" Riya explained in a calm voice.Maxwell was still feeling uncomfortable despite the response that Riya gave...he looked at her and moved his gaze away to the window. "I don't know but...what if they have other intentions?" He asked in a low voice. "Like what exactly?" She asked looking at him. He turned his face slowly to her again and said in a low voice "I really do not know but I not feel like it is a very good idea" He said in a calm voice. She
"How.. How did I hurt you, Amelia please talk to me. I'm your sister" Riya begged in a liw voice."You.. You're not my sister. You're not my sister at all. You're just like my father. A back stabber" She said in a loud voice.A cold wave ran through Riya's body immediately she heard that making her shiver as she listened to Amelia speak to her about her action which she already knew."You think I do not know that you are in a relationship with Maxwell?You think that I do not know that you two are in love.? You think I do not know that the both of you are just using me to get your goals? "Riya was in shock, she felt like the ground should open and swallow her up at that instant. She knew that her relationship with Maxwell was already danger since the day that Amelia indicated her interest in him but then she could bring herself to tell her about it. "Amelia.. I'm sorry.." She said slowly going down on her knees until her two knees touched the ground. "You're sorry.... After using
Harrison narrowed his eyebrows as he stared at the young man standing before him.Each time he looked at Maxwell, all he could see was the man who he used to work with in the early years at Wilson's construction site.They did not share much resemblance but with the mannerism and confidence with which he spoke and behaved.He was one to always suggest an idea when they were workers at the site.His father would meet with Wilson on behalf of other staffs who were too scared of meeting him.He was one to plead for the retainment of a staff who messed up and here he was years later with a young version of old colleague."Tell me Maxwell, What do you want?" He asked in a low voice..Maxwell clearer his throat and said in a low voice "I need to go somewhere tomorrow and I do not want my leaving to be in any way suspicious" Maxwell narrated in a low voice"Why will it be suspicious, is there something else I should know? "He asked in a low, dropping the magazine on the couch as he took off
Maxwell did not want to believe that Harrison was actually refusing to help him. He understood the fact that they all have a choice to approve or disapprove anything but he had come to Harrison with a high level of trust that he would help him out."Why?" He asked in a low voice.Harrison stood up from the couch and said "You do not need my help... You just need assistance" He replied with a grin on his face.It was as though a big weight was lifted off Maxwell shoulder and he breathed out slowly seeing that all hope ws not lost after all.He stood up and took the handshake from Harrison that he had extended."It has to be today though because Mr Wilson will becoming back by the late hours of tomorrow and he must not find out that you left the mansion on a trip" He said in a low voice.Maxwell took a deep breath and nodded his head in agreement.He did not know that Wilson would be returning the next day and since it was not too late to make the trip that evening, he decided to do it
Karen was shocked to hear that name. It reminded her of her foster mother in Los Vegas.She glanced at Carson and James slowly blinking her eyes as she stared at the both of them in surprise."Are you okay?" Carson asked staring ather face.She looked rather unhappy as she stood in silence."I'm sorry, did I say something wrong?" James asked.She shook her head sideways and said in a low voice. "No... It's nothing, let's eat" She muttered.Carson had notice her immediate change of mood when James said that and from the knowledge he now has about her after spending so much time with her, she was not going to be switching that mood off in hours.After dinner, they both said good night to James and went back into the room to sleep. "What was that about?" Carson asked her in a low voice as they entered the room. "What are you talking about?" She asked as if she did not know what he was talking about. She knew very well what he was talking about, as a matter of fact, she was expecting h
