Maxwell never really cared about what happened to Vickie. He knows she doesn’t like him and would want him dead at some point. Good thing his grandpa was on time to save him from the wrath of that angry-looking governor. The car drove through the bustling city and pulled up at the front garage of Grandpa Wilmore’s compound. The men all stepped into the house, and the moment Mirabella saw Maxwell, she ran to him with her arms open. “What were you doing out there, though? You should be very careful when walking around the city. It's not safe anymore.” Mirabella scolded him like she would her own child. "Yes, mommy, but I only went to that neighborhood to see my grandparents—I mean, the ones that raised me. I had a feeling something bad was going to happen, but then I ignored it and decided to come back home. That was when the governor and his men ambushed me. But thank God Grandpa and Uncle Zander showed up just on time to rescue me’. He told her. By now, Grandpa had gone upstairs to r
“Max, you should be ready to take responsibility soon,” Grandpa told him. Maxwell was sitting idle in the sitting room when Grandpa walked in.I know nothing about running the business, and you know that, grandpa. Maybe you would teach me some of these things,” Maxwell said. Grandpa looked at him with glee in his eyes. He knows how badly Maxwell wants to learn about the organization. He is sure that with Zander, Maxwell, and Mirabella at the top tier of affairs, his company's legacy would spread across borders even without advertisements. Maxwell looked at him. "Well, I guess I would have to learn a few things from Mirabella; she seems to know everything about the company and family all together,” Maxwell stated as he crossed his legs on each other. Grandpa's old eyes rested on his legs for a while.“From the day you were born, I knew that you would be great. Just like your father.” Grandpa said.Now Maxwell remembers how he led a team to avenge the deaths of his parents in a strange
Maxwell seemed very fulfilled after he had done what he had in mind. Mr. Amos can sort himself out with whatever family issues he has if it's as easy as it seems. He is one of the sole reasons Maxwell couldn't finish school. And now that it's payback time, it's time for Maxwell to have the last laugh. He deliberately bought the school under his grandpa's name, and now that the school is under his family name, he could easily take out any staff who seemed to cause issues, just like Mr. Amos had done. To Maxwell, the man doesn't deserve a second chance.“I guess I have to go to Athena." Maxwell informed Mirabella. “Do you think it's safe to go there now?” “I won't be going to her house. I could invite her to a restaurant, and there we could talk about a few things. I think I kind of miss the whole vibe of staying with her''. Maxwell confessed. Mirabella gave him a skeptical look and smiled.“You miss her, right? I knew that day would come. A day you would grow to love her like you sh
Maxwell smiled at her and rubbed her face gently with his hand. He looked a bit better than he had been at the Fairmont house. The effort he made to look as simple as he is. He checked himself out when she gave him the compliments, but he still cannot forget that one of his plans is to make Athena more comfortable and successful than she had ever been before he met her. She still believes that Sabastian Bash is the reason she is still in business with Wilmore's, but maybe she will find out soon enough the caliber of man she has been sitting with all these months.“You want more of that?” “No, it's enough. I've got a handful of them. Thank you”. She answered with a shy smirk playing around the corner of her lips. Her phone began to beep and vibrate in her small leather bag. She looked towards it and dipped her hand into it. “Its grandma”. She told him and answered the call politely and as calmly as she could. “What did she say to you? You look gloomy and sad after that call." Maxwe
Athena couldn't hold back her anger after the meeting. She hurriedly went back to meet her mom. Veronica was sitting on the porch getting her manicure done when Athena pulled up in front of the house. Her face darkened, like she had witnessed a royal rumble match.“Hi mom”. She greeted her as if she appreciated her mother. Keys dangling. She looked down at the technician for a while and then back to her mom.“What's with the grumpy look? Did you have a fight at Grandma's again?”."Technically, that's the only place I can't go to without returning with some sort of anger." She spoke and pulled the seat next to her. ”.“How did it go, though? Are there any solutions yet?” Veronica asked with sincerity in her tone. “Nothing of the sort was preferred, and to make things worse, Grandma has asked me to handle it myself. Where on earth does she want me to begin? The Hamiltons are the high and mighty of the city; only the Wilmore's can defeat them." Athena said it with frustration in her ey
“Mom”. Athena got into her mother's room and found her sitting on the sofa. Her eyes were fixed on her favorite opera show on the TV screen. Athena gave it a quick look and focused her attention back on her mother.“You didn't give me the address, or is that supposed to be a surprise too?" Athena asked as she stood in front of her mother, who was busy with the show, without giving Athena a glance. “Victoria Restaurant and Lounge, 7 p.m.”. Veronica said it without blinking. Athena looked at her for a while. She knows her mother isn't in a good mood to speak at the moment, so she quietly works away from her room.She searched her closet and thought about what to wear, but then she realized she wasn't going to meet Sabastian for anything that had to do with romance. It was strictly business, plus she has a little apology to make. She pulled up black leather pants and a gray top and slid herself into them. She strapped her jacket over her back and picked up her bag after arranging her ha
Athena was nothing more than happy to finally have that talk with Sabastian. She smiled as he led her back to the car. Finally, she has been able to overcome her fears. Things didn't go as she feared they would. With the sound of his promise lingering in her heart, she went back home.The moment she pulled into the compound, her mother opened the door to welcome her into the house. A strange thing she thought in her mind. Her mother has never in a long time acted this nice towards her, especially when she had Maxwell living with them.“How did the meeting go, my sugar plume?” Veronica asked with a broad smile on her face and wine in one hand.“It went well; why are you so excited?” Athena asked as she brushed past through the little space her mother created between them.“Well, I was just anticipating the outcome of the meeting with Sabastian, and I can guess from the look on your face that it was positive." She said that, as she closed the door. She walked behind Athena with her feet
Walking through the front door of the mansion he bombed into grandpa who was just waking up from a little nap. It was a daily routine for him to nap a little. Maxwell smiled as he saw grandpa come down the stairs into the living room.“Hey grandpa, is everything alright?” Maxwell asked with fear in his eyes.“Yes, I guess I am fine. Just the aging bones at its job”. Grandpa said with a little more stretch. And then he got down to the living room and sat on the couch. “I guess you are stressed from all the movements in the past days. I think you need to hand over some of these things to Uncle Zander. He's a good catch and can represent you in almost all the meetings”. Maxwell advised.“Of course Zander knows exactly what to do when I am not around and I must tell you that I have the best sons and even Mirabella. She is worth the price of ten other men put together”. Grandpa said with so much pride and admiration in his tone.“We are a powerful family and I love it that way”.“Power is
