Maxwell heard all that Athena had told her mother about Sabastian. She seemed excited about all she thought he had done for her. The moment Athena mentioned Randolph's name, Maxwell remembered that he had a business deal to strike with the old fool who tried to harass Athena at the restaurant. Men like him shouldn't be left to walk the street. He put down his pancakes and went upstairs. Athena was shocked to see him stand beside the door with a fork in his hand. She looked at him shocked "Going somewhere". She asked as she went into the kitchen to check what he was doing."Yes, I have something to pick up a few blocks away. You are welcome back from work." Maxwell said. Athena smiled and served some pancakes on a plate for herself. Maxwell disappeared upstairs and returned dressed in a black hoodie and black pants. The only one he has in his possession.He walked a good distance away from the house before boarding a taxi that took him to the bus station. Maxwell boarded a bus stra
The evening for dinner finally came. Maxwell was in the kitchen helping Mrs. Veronica out with the marinated chicken when the knock came on the door. He wiped his hand on the apron and ran out to get to the door."Hold on". He says this as he sways his massive body towards the entrance. He pulled the door open."You are welcome." Maxwell opened the door for him with a bow."Oh! Wow, here stands the church rat; maybe you would wipe my feet with this napkin," Sebastian ridiculed, pulling out a white napkin from his breast pocket. Maxwell glared at him deeply. "My bad, I totally forgot you were the unfortunate man Athena chose instead of choosing to be luxurious with me." Sebastian said it with disdain and flapped his suit as he spoke."Oh, sweet Sabastian, is that you?" Veronica's voice boomed from the sitting room, her slippers flipping along as she approached where Maxwell was standing."It's me, my gracious lady," he pushed Maxwell and worked in to meet Veronica. She kissed him on t
Maxwell went upstairs, laughing at Sabastian for being such a bloody liar, but they all couldn't comprehend the reason for his laughter. They all thought he was crazy.Athena couldn't contain her joy as she saved the news for Grandma the next day."I still want to ask you out on a proper dinner date," Sabastian said.Athena looked at him in surprise. She searched his face for clues of a joke, but the young man had a dead serious look in his eyes."I'm serious"."You know I am married, right?" Athena tried to turn down the offer, but her mother sharply interfered. "Of course Athena will go on a date with you. Isn't that right? She asked, giving Athena a skeptical look. She eyeballed her. Athena swallowed hard, and in her confused state, she nodded her head."Yes, sure. I shall go with you for the date. Just this once, and that's all." She warned him."That's fine; one time is enough to prove a point."."Good," Veronica commented. "A date it is, then! What day and time, please, so I c
Maxwell got dressed in a black hoodie and black sweatpants. Along with the Nike pair of sport shoes Athena got him some months ago, he knew she wasn't going to let him follow her on the date, and so he planned his moves on his own. "Athena, I'm stepping out," he called out when he got to her door post. Veronica was downstairs when he got out. He didn't speak to her or anything because she had been on his neck for the past couple of days. He breezed past her and headed straight through the exit door. He stood quite a distance and watched Sebastian drive through the yard."The bastard". He murmured to himself and hid in the small bush just by the corner. He watched the car stop by the house, and after a few minutes, Athena came out dressed in a beautiful black sequin dress. The weather was a bit chilly, so she wore a brown faux fur collar coat on the dress. Maxwell watched all these with one eye behind him. He listened to them speak."Hey, you look stunning, my queen." Sabastian compl
Maxwell carried Athena out of the car when he pulled up in the garage. She lay on his shoulders, and he carried her inside the house.On seeing this, Veronica sprang to her feet and rushed to him."What happened to her?" "She's fine, ma'am." Maxwell said that and carried her up the stairs. When he got to her room, he carefully laid her on the bed. While her mother held Maxwell by his clothes,. "What happened to her? I need answers, you idiot."."Ma'am, calm down. Okay, she is safe. That good for nothing, son of a bitch tried to drug her, but I snatched it away from her hand right before she took the drink. I guess she's just exhausted from the fight we had at the restaurant."."A fight?""Yes, I fought him because he tried to hike me first with a bottle of champagne, and I think I left his arm damaged too." Maxwell said it with a smile."Oh goodness gracious, what have you done to the poor boy?" "Now he's a poor boy, really? He tried to drug your only child; only God knows what he
Move, the officer commanded Maxwell as they got into the station. "Make sure he doesn't leave here. He must not be granted bail until I say so." Mr. Bash said to the officers: Sabastian stuck out his tongue as they took Maxwell into the detention room.He seemed calm without saying a word, but immediately the bash left. Zander appeared in front of the police station.The officers at the gate bowed their greetings."You took something that belongs to me, and I am here to get it." Zander said. He walked past them and went straight to the sheriff's office."Ah! Mr. Wilmore, good day. Nice to have you here today.""Thank you". Zander said with a frown arched on his brows. I was told you have my boy under custody." Zander asked."Maxwell, the young man they just brought here about an hour ago?"Yes, he's my son, and no one must hear or know about his identity." Zander warned."Yes boss. I am so sorry. I didn’t know the boy was your son. I wouldn't have placed the arrest on him." He said i
Athena got back into the house, and then she recalled that he said something about leaving her stuff in the house. Her mother was sitting on the couch, stamping her feet on the ground, when she got into the living room. "Good riddance," Veronica said, and she got up to continue her work in the kitchen. Athena didn't bother to look at her; she was focused on checking out what Maxwell had left for her. She rushed up the stairs and pushed on his door. Her eyes broadened in shock. Maxwell had carefully laid everything she got him on the bed without picking a pin. She doesn't know what he means by this. "Does this mean he wasn't ever going to come back into my life?" She questioned herself. Then she looked at the ring in her hand. Tears flowed down her cheeks. She climbed up the bed and pulled the clothes to her chest, sniffing them a bit.She began to cry until she fell asleep.Meanwhile, after walking a good distance, Maxwell called Mirabela to come pick him up. It wasn't about fifteen
"We should get going then.". "Sure". He grabbed his card and followed her downstairs."Maxwell, you just got here. What are you up to?" Grandpa asked. He knows the love Mirabella had for her cousin was something else. She had always told Grandpa that she would spoil him with gifts and stuff if he ever got to find him. And now that she sees that her cousin is really fine, she will not stop showing him off."Wait for when we finally get to reveal him to the world," she teased her grandpa. She pressed a kiss on his cheek three times and ran out of the door."Here you go; I'm tired of being your chauffeur," she said, throwing the keys at Maxwell."I'm going to crash it."."No, you won't. I'm tired," she told him, slumping heavily into the front seat. Maxwell looked at her and then at the keys for a while before joining her inside."You know you could get a nice haircut too.". "All that, just because I want to sit a bit with Vickie?" Maxwell asked in surprise as he started the car."Yes,
