“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

Sabastian Bash pulled up at the Fairmont Tower around 12 p.m. He knows that it was time for Athena's break, and since he is around the area, it was only wise that he stop by to say hi. But everyone knows it's just for the meantime. Sabastian definitely knows why he is perching around Athena; however, Athena and her entire family are oblivious about his antics, especially her mother, Lady Veronica, who sees more potential in the young man than she sees in her own daughter. He walked in through the front door, squaring his shoulders like he owned the entire building. A dark shade lay over his face as he walked, then he bumped into a young man who was coming from the other wing. “Watch it, young man. This suit and shoes are expensive." He tells him and brushes away some invisible dust before moving forward. He murmured and sighed as he climbed up the stairs leading to the elevator. “What happened?” A young man asked the guy who had just collided with Sabastian. “He ran into me, yet

Sebastian has not been himself since he heard the news about the dinner party and opening of the new casino. He walked to his car and paused again like he had some strange dreams while having a nap. How can she get an email and I didn't. He spoke to himself and opened his car. He scurried for his phone and when he found it he tapped the screen and raced straight to his gmail app. He began to check through and when he couldn't find anything he became frustrated and cursed them for not honoring him. He squeezed his lip and drove off. He rushed home to think of ways he was going to make it up to Mirabella .“Why are you pacing and tossing up and down?”. His friend asked him. Jonathan stays over at his place sometimes and since the two men had known each other for long there was no harm giving him his spare keys.“I've been here waiting for you and there you are trying to impress a lady”. Jonathan kicked at him“She is not just any lady bro, she is Athena Fairmont of the famous Fairmont

Maxwell and Mirabella stopped at the clothes store a few blocks away from the office. Maxwell seems to have the greatest smile on his face, knowing his wait is finally over. There was nothing anyone on earth would do to him anymore, and as a matter of fact, all he had wished to have was now at his fingertips. He smiled from ear to ear and from cheek to cheek. He doesn't seem to know what being wealthy is all about, but he is more than willing to learn about it. “I think we have to check this store. If I can't find what I like for you, then we would check the next store, which is about a five-minute drive from here. Do you accept it?” Mirabella asked as she pulled up in front of the store.At the door, a beautiful lady dressed in a security uniform greeted them with a bow. When they entered the store fully, the two attendants rushed up to them and stood.“Good day, sir; good day, ma'am." They greeted each other in unison. Mirabella and Maxwell looked too confused at their reaction and

The night of the party had smoothly arrived. Grandpa and everyone else were set except for Maxwell, who had a little bit of cold feet just a few hours before the party.Grandpa smiled at him and parted him on his shoulder. I guess he is overwhelmed by the caliber of people he'll be meeting at the party. “Come on, son, all that would disappear the moment you climbed that podium.”. “I would climb a podium.” Maxwell asked as a sudden wave of heat spread over his body. Addressing a crowd was something he had always tried to run away from all the times he was in school. He never really did well at it, and he wondered why it was so with him.“I can’t speak in public, grandpa. I have a bad feeling it would turn out very sore, plus I do not have that very commanding voice to speak yet.” Maxwell gave his grandpa the lamest excuse he could find in the store of his heart. “There's no excuse in business, son. Your entitlements will all be wired to you today if you do well, and I know you will

We got out of the car and proceeded into the hall. The stewards welcomed us into the hall. Mirabella and Maxwell walked in with smiles on our faces. Maxwell teased her a little bit while they got out of the car. The entire parking lot is filled with cars, and in the hall were men and women of caliber. Maxwell knew no one except for his immediate family members. He searched around the hall to see if Athena came and if Sabastian Bash was here, but he didn't see anyone that looked like them in the hall. He became a bit discouraged as he walked, but when Grandpa began to introduce me to his top friends and business associates, realized that Athena's validation and Sebastian's opinion of me, whether or not he had the wealth that he so bragged to have, didn't matter at all.Maxwell smiled and shook hands with the men. The party was almost about to start when he saw Athena and Sebastian walk hand in hand through the front door. He froze in my thoughts as my smile gradually diminished, quick

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
