"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,

Maxwell was sitting with Mirabella at home after the close of work. Grandpa had just left them to have some rest upstairs, as usual. The duo were busy on the field with their little cousin picking on the mat when Maxwell's phone began to buzz. “I will beat you off this chess game, Mirabella gave Maxwell a promise.You can't. I am good when it comes to chess, and I plan on going to international competitions with it. My phone…” Maxwell replied, searching for his phone, where he threw it. He was so busy that he didn't notice the phone had fallen off the mat and was now resting on the grass underneath the mat. He pulled it out and checked on the caller. “Why is Vickie calling me again? I thought I made it clear the last time,” he murmured. Mirabella winked at him, and he began to blush.“Please hold on." He said it with a finger pointed out. He swiped the phone and placed it on his ear.“Yes, what do you want?”.“I'm dying, Maxwell. Please come to Huggies Cafe; I don't know what I ate.

Maxwell and Mirabella had just gotten home. They had planned to sort things out by themselves with the police so it wouldn't escalate to the public, but just when they got into the house, Grandpa cautioned them, holding his phone in his hand.“What in the heavens name is happening, Maxwell? What is this rubbish I see online?” Grandpa asked casually. “I can explain." Maxwell said, but as he wanted to speak, Mirabella jumped in and blamed the whole incident on herself. “I caused it, grandpa. He didn't want to go there, but the lady told me that she was dying, so I asked him to go. See, we have our evidence against them.”. Maxwell turned to face her in shock."Yes, I have my evidence. There's a small chip on your wristwatch. I know you didn't notice it. I kept it there for a reason. I smelled something was wrong, and when you told me Vickie was not a clean person, I decided to add that chip to record everything, and I am glad I did. She pulled the chip from his wristwatch and played i

Because of Mrs.Veronica's words, Maxwell turned and left. Athena watched him leave. Her eyes are teary and cold. She knew their relationship had been successfully torn apart. Her mom had never liked Maxwell from the beginning, but for her to go to the extreme of chasing him out of the house is something Athena cannot believe. She wiped her eyes and got back inside while still feeling the humiliation from work earlier in the day. She feels really bad for hitting Maxwell without first finding out what really happened, but it was already too late to regret it, though the guilt was going to linger for a while. When she could no longer make out his image, she walked into the house.Maxwell walked a long distance, angry and fuming, until it was dark enough for him to trace John to his little guest house. For weeks, Maxwell traced him when they had the issue at school, but he decided to refrain from his plan when he met his grandfather. He flagged down a taxi and went straight for the Blue

Vickie couldn't stand the message Maxwell had just given her. After he left, she hurriedly got a change of clothes and headed to John's guest house. When she got outside her apartment, she flagged a taxi and hopped in. Her entire body shook vehemently as she approached the venue. She hoped it was just some sort of Photoshop, but if it was real, then she was in really big trouble. John's father is the governor, and he would fish her out as one of the culprits for his son's misfortune. She panicked and bit her lower lip in regret. But it's too late for all that show of remorse. For the years she spent with Maxwell, she knows he doesn't go back on his words. And if he had shown her what he had done, then that was it. The moment the taxi got into a traffic jam a few blocks from the Blue Club, she tapped the driver from behind. The man stopped abruptly. She threw the cash at him, ran out, and jogged off the remaining distance. It was 8pm, as she checked her wrist watch. It was a bit la

She managed to put the call through and leave it. “His father is the governor of the state, and he will be here soon,” she told the doctor with pride. The doctor didn't say much to her. He went his way and asked the nurses to get things prepared for the surgery. Vickie sat in the reception for a while and then decided to stretch her legs a bit. A tight cramp in her legs, she sighed slowly relieving the hurt as she could barely feel her feet on the ground. She got out of the entrance, and then, just as she was about to take a left turn towards the back yard, she heard the blaring sirens coming from the approaching vehicles. Her heart pumped loudly into her eyes. She paused and turned, her eyes widening. She saw the patrol coming in from the front gate. She ran back inside as fast as possible, smiled at the nurse at the front station, and comported herself. His excellency is here," she informed the nurse with a fake smile on her face. Through her eyes, the nurse could see the fear

Maxwell hugged his grandparents, gave them more money, and told them to keep his identity a secret since he was still not safe to announce himself. Grandma testified that Mason had not disturbed them since the last day he brought trouble to the house.Maxwell smiled and hugged them again before going back to Grandpa Richard's place.Vicki ran out, cursing and leaping. She went to the apartment to rest for the night.The surgery was done successfully the previous day. Vicki woke up with an ache all over her body. She stretched her broken leg and still felt the pain, although not as much as the previous day. She sat and took a deep breath while reminiscing on all that had happened in the past few days. It seemed like she had been in this situation for a hundred years of her life. She yawned and got up to give herself a quick look in the mirror. Her face was pale, with two pink lines cut across her left cheek. She touched it with a free hand and cursed.“I cursed the day I met you, Ma

Vickie ran off to her apartment. She had made her plans to expose Maxwell, whether by hook or by crook, and whatever it would cost her. The money mentioned for whoever has information about John's case is too huge for her to leave behind. If she has to ever lose something, then it should be Maxwell and not the money involved. She knows the governor doesn't go back on his word. She woke up early in the morning and dressed herself in her black hoodie and sport shoes. She pulled her hair down a bit to cover the scars on her face. A whopping $500,000 would change her life for the better. She picked up her bag and strapped it over her shoulders. With a little ache on her arm, she held the arm, applying a little pressure to it. “Damn!” She screamed and recalled that she still had a good number of medications to take to alleviate the pain. The moment she got out, she boarded a taxi straight to the governor's office. A lady welcomed her at the reception with a smile.Vickie surveyed the sp

Maxwell and Mirabella approached the hall with their suits and their dark glasses looking so perfect in them. They had decided to go in the same dress that night, even though it wasn't their grandmother's party. The large hall was filled with guests; honorable men and women of the press were also fully present. They walked down and found the perfect spot to sit. Athena's grandma and her sons were seated on one large table. While Veronica and Athena were busy welcoming the guests into the hall, Just then Maxwell's eyes locked with Grandma Elizabeth, and she got up sharply from her seat and walked towards him.“Hey! Aren't you the wretched boy Athena brought into my home?” She asked with her aged hands on her waist.“I am that same boy, ma'am." Maxwell said, standing up from his seat.“I can see you cleaned up well, but all you need to know is that a pig will always be a pig. You do not need to borrow all of these things to look good because you want to creep into my family." She said

“What the hell is going on?” Maxwell was surprised at Athena's sudden claim of being his wife.“I should be the one asking you what's happening with you and that lady." Athena asked, putting her hands on her waist. “Well, she just came to introduce herself, and that's it. She said she wanted to get to know me, and I said fine, and then she suddenly started acting funny and crazy. She's really a creepy one. She wants me, and I can see it in her eyes. I'm never going to let her take advantage of me." Maxwell said.Athena raised her nose at him and said, “I can see that. You're irresistible,you think?” She asked sarcastically.“Of course I am irresistible, just that you are blind to it." Maxwell teased and poked her nose softly. “Grandpa is waiting for you; we thought something had happened, so I came to get you myself.”.“As my saviour or guardian angel?” “Whichever one you pick, I don't really care." Athena spoke to him calmly.“Let's go”. She pulled him by the hand.“But for real

Maxwell picked Athena up at the exact time he told her. This time she wore a black dress with a crossed strap at the back. Her hair swayed on her shoulders as she walked out of the house to meet him outside.Hello, Mr. Maxwell." She said this to him with a broad smile on her face."Hello, Ms. Fairmont, Are I late?” He asked her casually, his broad smile gracing his appearance. “Nope! You aren't late for the appointment, Mr. CEO." She responded by flapping her hands over her face so he would notice her makeup. She had to do the regular type by herself. She sensed that tonight's occasion was going to be a really heavy one, so she invited a makeup artist over to do the needful on her face. She now had fuller lips than usual, and her nose stood out, pointed and straight, with the help of the contour. “Oh! Okay, I get the message. Your makeup is a hundred percent perfect, and you look really stunning in that black dress, just like a black rose with petals of red on it." Maxwell gave his

Six months later, Wilmore Casino had grown into the talk of town. They were well known all over the city. Uncle Zander and grandpa are so proud of what Maxwell had made out of the business within just a few months of emerging as MD. Just like the way Grandpa usually creeps into his room unannounced. The knock on the door was soft and familiar, but he never thought that it would be his grandpa until he answered.“Come in, please." He answered even though his back was turned against the door. He was busy making some photocopies.“Hey,son”. Maxwell turned only to see his grandfather walking into the room with his walking aid on one hand. “Hey pops, you didn't tell me you were coming,” Maxwell said with a smile on his face. He got up from his seat and went to hug his grandfather.“I didn't know I had to call your assistant or book an appointment before coming over to see my son; you should be more grateful, and the old grayed man is paying you an extravagant visit." Grandpa teased. They

Maxwell had resumed work fully, and it has beenIt was a bit hectic for him, as this was his first time managing any institution. He was sitting in his office when Mirabella came in. Shocked to see her, he got up.“Mirabella, is everything alright?” He asked her with shock and curiosity in his tone.“Have you seen the news recently?” Mirabella asked, still pointing at him as he stood to his feet casually.“What about the news? I haven't heard anything, though." Maxwell responded sharply. "Here,” she rummaged through her bag and threw the newspaper down on the table.“What's this?” He asked about picking it up.“Vickie?” He asked in surprise and flipped the page to read the headlines. “My God, who did this to her?” He asked, looking up at Mirabella. She shrugged her shoulders. “I don't know." She replied. He paused for a while and had a flashback to the last day he had met her with those hefty men. She had actually brought them to kill him, but Grandpa was just on time to defend him

After they finished with the dinner, they spoke for a while and cracked jokes to themselves. Athen had never had such a beautiful moment in her life with any man before. Her heart skipped a bit the moment she paused and leaned closer to her. Her body was ready, and just as his lip was about to touch hers, she pulled away.“Uhm! Arrh! I have to go now. I mean, we should go now; we have work to do tomorrow. I have meetings to attend tomorrow." She stuttered the words at him. Maxwell got up and looked down at her. “I get it, and I am sorry. I am willing to wait until you are ready." He told her with a smile, and for a second, Athena had all the tightened air in her stomach loosen. “Thank you”. She said and smiled at him for being so kind and considerate, unlike Sabastian, who tried to drug her to have his way with her. She loves Maxwell's sense of humour and how mature he acts around her. He is the kind that Mark's and protects his territory. She is sure that with him, she would have n

“I shall tell you everything you need to know, and none of it shall I withhold." Maxwell told her calmly, his eyes not straying away from her at all. She had learned to hold his gaze for a little more time before doing anything else. Now that he began to speak, she placed both hands on her lap, barely even checking out the food prepared for them by the five-star chef. Athena looked cool and calm, but deep down in her heart, she had loads of unanswered questions.“I'm waiting, and I plan to listen to all you have to say to me tonight." Athena responded with a calm tone.“I am an orphan. I lost my dad to some killers from the opposition. And my mom was killed a few months after my birth. So my grandpa, Ricjard Wilmore, took me to a woman and asked her to take care of me. He even gave her some money to take care of me. The lady looked away because my life was threatened, so she ran away with the baby, and that's how I grew up in a poor home. I never knew I had a rich father until my fina

Athena put her hand into his and climbed down the remaining part of the stairs. She smiled at Maxwell and the two of them walked out of the building. Outside, Maxwell helped Athena with the door till she got into the car and settled down. Maxwell took the driver's seat and off they drove into the heart of the city. Athena looked puzzled as she drove past all the restaurants she had been to yet she never said a word, after a while she began to panic in her heart and then she couldn't just hold it anymore.“Maxwell, where are you going?” She asked curiously Maxwell took a quick look at her and smiled. Somewhere you would love he answered. “Why do you ask though, you don't trust me anymore?” He asked her with a smile forming at the corner of his lip.“It's not that, I am just curious because we've passed almost every restaurant I know “. She sighed and looked out the window. “It's fine. It's okay to have fears. I never wanted you not to be too strong though, being feminine comes with

After the men left, Maxwell looked at his watch. He had planned to go on a date with Athena, at least, if not for anything. She deserved some explanation about how he got to their house and the reason he had to hide his identity. He looked out the window for a while and smiled. There was no way he would let any of his children face the same humiliation he did from the rich folks. He had vowed to make a name for himself, aside from the great Wilmore behind his name. He would make a name for himself with the talent he has built inside of him. He twirled the seat and tossed it side by side. This is just a part of the good life. Nothing on earth would make him leave a life as sweet as this, and the best part of what he has earned with his new name is the respect he gets from the people around him and all those who once looked down on him. He sat in his office after he had the meeting with the staff. He needed to know their names, at least, so he wouldn't address them wrongly. They all
