Maxwell smiled broadly upon seeing Riya. She had come back too soon yet at the right time when he so badly needed a company. "Hey.. Riya" He said to her as she approached him. "You're back" He added.. "Yeah, I came to pick a work dress I had left in Amelia's room. "Really, you forgot it?" He asked "Yeah... I kinda forgot to take it when I was leaving" She said taking a sit next to him. "Ermm....About the other day in Amelia's room, I'm still sorry" Maxwell said staring into the garden "You apologized before, Maxi" she replied calmly "Did she just call him Maxi?" He said within himself and smiled. "Thanks for speaking to her like you promised" He said to her. "Welcome..." She replied curtly. "Are you okay...?" He asked upon noticing her sudden change of mood. "Yeah... I'm fine, just going through a lot right now" She replied in a worried tone. "Wanna talk about it?" He asked looking concerned but she swayed her head sideways meaning that she didn't want to talk. "How a
The Funeral.Days had past but the Wilson's home kept becoming more unbearable for Maxwell.The maltreatment he got from his supposed bride and father inlaw had increased and many times he would pray silently to be relieved of the pains.He did literally everything for them in the house and had no time for himself at all.Gradually, he was becoming a shadow of himself. He looked more depressed by the day and it was beginning to affect his looks. Amelia who he thought would become closer to him with time rather became farther away from me.They both pretended to be close and inlove before Wilson but once he was not seen around, the hatred she had for him resurfaces making him crawl back into his shell like a turtle to avoid her sting.She was always there to nag, order him around and make him do her laundry. He felt like a helpless prisoner whose hope of freedom was lost. The therapist funeral was going to be done and Wilson had told them to attend with him as a couple.For some re
The Water fountain.Amelia had been unconscious for hours and the doctor confirmed that she was in coma.She laid on the hospital bed but could not move or do anything.She was only confirmed to still be alive because she was breathing but aside that, she was totally unconscious. Maxwell and Riya sat beside her staring and darting their eyes around the room.It was a silent moment and Maxwell was beginning to think that everything was his fault."Maybe he was right" He said out loud, staring at Amelia's face on the bed.Riya blinked her eyes severally at his words, "What?" She asked looking up at him"Maybe Wilson was right...it's all my fault" He said casting his gaze to the ground."Max.. It was never your fault" She said to him firmly."But I was supposed to protect her... Wilson warned me" Maxwell saidHe was looking very terrible at the moment and the fear of what Wilson would do to him for allowing such thing happen to his daughter kept sending chill down bones.He tried to imag
The Kidnap.Riya slept off on the chair beside Amanda bed, she was feeling exhausted from the whole day event.She woke up an hour later and discovered that Maxwell was not in the room.She took a stroll outside thinking she'll find him somewhere around the hospital but after walking for a while, she realized that he was not at the hospital.She dailed his contact several times but it was unanswered and she became worried.She dailed Wilson's contact and he picked up almost immediately."Riya..."His thick voice sounded from the other end of the phone." Uncle is Maxwell home? " She asked" I thought you both were watching over Amelia.... Where as the idiot gone to? "Wilson asked in fury." I have not seen him since he left to answer a call" She said calmly."Maybe you should try calling him" She added before hanging up the callRiya was worried and she walked back into the room slowly hoping he'll just appear. "Where would he have gone?" She asked herself as she walked into the room.
I can't do it.Maxwell was severely beaten by the guys who looked like the were pissed off about something.He was left on the floor in a pool of his blood laying unconscious with his face to the ground.He woke up after a few minutes and began to crawl his way up slowly to the bed as his body felt like there were cuts on every part. He managed to climb up to the bed and layed with his blood stained body on it.One of the guys walked into the room but Maxwell didn't move.He had given up every fight in him and he didn't care anymore if they were going to kill him.The guy dragged him up from the bed supporting him with his shoulder as he led Maxwell into the bathroom.He pushed Maxwell into the bath tub making him whine in pains.The water in the bathtub was warm and he wondered how people could do bad things and still do good at the same time.This was proof that they intended keeping him in there for a long time and whoever it was must be someone who was trying to get on Wilson.He
Is she dead?Maxwell moved out of the room into the bathroom to wash his face.It's been two days since he had been in the custody of the unknown abductors.He was feeling very hungry but they never gave him anything to eat since he got there.Although was conversant with maintaining a hungry stomach because his mother had taught him how to fast from a very young age staying without food and water for two days was becoming unbearable.He walked back into the room wiping his wet face with his shirt and met one of the guy standing at the doorway. The guy looked at him and said in mockery "You look terrible" Maxwell looked at him from the corner of his eyes and sat mute on the bed. The guy hissed and dropped a pair of neat trouser and a shirt on the bed "Get yourself ready, you should be somewhere tonight"Maxwell stared at the clothes on the bed and his gaze reverted to the guy. He cleared his throat and looked into the guys eyes "Are you guys planning on letting me go?" He asked.
Maxwell pushed her away from himself and walked into the bathroom. He couldn't believe that he had allowed himself to be drunken and unaware despite being in custody of strange people. He sat in the bathtub thinking about how things has been before he was brought to this dungeon, the remembered Amelia's condition before he left and wondered if she wash m gb awake now. Clearly if she dies, Wilson will have no use for him anymore and the deal will be terminated. Her survival meant a lot to him and his family. He said a short prayer for her there in the bathroom before coming back into the room. He didn't meet the lady when he got out of the bathroom and he was grateful that she had left.A part of him felt guilty for being so unmannered and ending up on bed with a lady he didn't know. He waved off the feeling and sat on the bed.His head was beginning to hurt and there was a painful pinch in his stomach reminding him that he had not eaten anything for the past two days expect fo
Riya tried to follow the nurses that carried Maxwell into the ward but she was not allowed to go it."I'm sorry ma.. You'll have to wait for a while" A nurse said to her softly standing on her way."What?" She said casting her frowning face on the nurse."You really can't see the patient now. He is in a very critical state and he needs emergency attention" She said trying to touch Riya's arm but she moved away.Amelia's attending doctor suddenly came out of the emergency ward.She walked briskly towards her office and without noticing Riya's presence she asked the nurse "Does he have any family present?"The nurse glanced at Riya and replied instantly "Yes Doc, she says she's family" She said pointing at Riya.The doctor stopped walking and glanced at Riya before asking "Miss, aren't you Amelia's..."Riya didn't wait for her to complete her statement. "Yes... I am Amelia's sister and he is her husband" Riya replies came very fast and the doctor could notice the fear in her voice.The
