The Poor Billionaire's Revenge. Chapter 133
Athena walked into the house as if she had seen a ghost. Her eyes were already swollen from crying so hard in the cab. She opened the front door and went into the living room. Her mother was sitting, leg crossed, on the table, but when she saw Athena walk in with her shoulders drooping, she sprang up to her feet. In her mind, Sabastian had done something bad to her daughter. She rushed forward and held her by the arm."Athena, what is wrong? Why do you walk like you saw a ghost? She asked, but Athena didn't answer. She held her close to her and gave her a warm hug. Athena rested her head on her mother's shoulders and began to cry uncontrollably. “I don't know what it is that's making you this sad, but I am sorry, Athena; everything will be fine." She rubbed her back and spoke like a good mother should.She hugged her tight and squeezed her into her body while Athena kept weeping like a child.“He lied to me, mother?” Athena finally spoke the words as she sniffed and sulked.“Whom d

From the beginning, Maxwell knew there would be a problem the moment Athena found out about his identity. The guilt of lying to her this entire time lingered in his heart all night. He laid on his bed and thought about how to make her understand why he did what he did. Grandpa has set up multiple meetings for the week. It feels strange to Maxwell, but Uncle Zander has assured him that he will get used to all of it. Maxwell knows he would, but he is just overwhelmed by everything right now. Emerging as the new MD is something he never imagined would happen so soon.Maxwell laid in bed, tossing and rolling. The thought of losing Athena forever kept racing through his mind each time he tried to go to sleep. He managed to take it away. The rules Uncle Zander gave him to study were still lying on the table. He got up and turned on the light. As MD, he needs to know a few things about the casino and how it's been ruined. He has to learn a thing or two from people who have been in the busin

Maxwell arrived at the venue at about 8:30 a.m. As he alighted from the car, everyone looked at him, but he had no time to observe those staring at him. His finely tailored suit gave him the most beautiful fit on his body. Just as he was about to go into the building, a young man ran to him and introduced himself happily. The young man was only a few years younger than Maxwell and had the professionalism of a man who had been in the corporate world for decades.“Good morning, sir." The young man greeted Maxwell and made him to stop in his tracks. Maxwell examined him for a while before responding. “Good morning, young man, how are you?” He responded happily, but he wore no smile on his face. The young man was still very confident, despite how much Maxwell tried to make himself look tough, the young man was determined to have a steady gaze.“You must be the new MD, Mr. Maxwell Wilmore.”. He asked to clear his doubts.“Yes, that's me. Why?”. He wondered why the young man had come to h

Athena got out of the car, grabbing her bag alongside her while waiting for Uncle Duncan to come out before she finally locked the car. He got out and adjusted his suit, still surviving the building as he had done the first time they arrived. His shoulders squared like they were pillars holding his proud body together. “This is what it means to be rich and famous. This is wealth, pure wealth." Uncle Duncan said it excitedly as he smiled from ear to ear.“Get a grip on yourself, uncle; these people are very bougie and classy; we can't afford to downgrade ourselves.”.“I'm trying my best to calm Athena. The luxury is just too much for me to pipe low." He said it excitedly. She shook her head and began to walk into the building. The automatic door opened, and she was in the lobby leading to the reception. Athena has always been classy and beautiful. She had in her hand her Chanel bag, which was a perfect match with her black dress. She spotted a lady at the reception busy with her syst

Athena pushed herself through the opened door and hurried down the hallway. Duncan was already in front of her as she walked away in shame. A few staff members from the organization looked at her, and their boss ignored him despite the way he called her name."Athena, please listen to me." He said that the moment he caught up with her, She raised her eyes slowly to meet his eyes. His gaze was intent and genuine. He looked around for a while, and when he was sure everyone had left them in the hall, he spoke to her calmly.“May I have a word with you in my office, please?" He pleaded softly. She blinked and rolled her eyes away from his gaze.“I don’t want to talk to you, Maxwell. I made this clear the day I found out you deceived me. I don’t want to talk to you, and I don’t want to see you anywhere near me." She spoke the words with spite.Maxwell chuckled at her words. “Then why are you here if you don’t want to see me? You know I would be at the meeting, yet you showed up even thoug

Athena left Grandma's house looking like she had fought in a thought war. Her hair was rough and scattered, and her shoulders drooped. She had obeyed grandma's instructions; now all she needs is to sleep and forget about all that happened at Wilmore's tower. She pulled over and stepped out of the car, then banged on the door like she wanted to pick a fight with it. She checked the back seat and pulled out the files she gave at the meeting. She sighed as it fell to the ground, just a few inches away from her leg. She picked it up and went into the house. Her mother was not in the living room today, so she thanked her sister for it. She isn't in the mood to say anything to anyone right now. She was emotionally down, and mentally, she didn't think she was strong enough to have a chat with her mom. She surveyed the sitting room. The mini artificial aleovera plant stood on the side of the table instead of the usual spot in the center. She is fully aware it had to be her mom; she's been the

Wait! She called out to him and rushed forward to meet him.“I'm sorry”. She said she was looking downward. Maxwell looked at her and wondered if she had suddenly changed her mind.“Can we talk some other time? She asked, grabbing him by the arm. He looked at her hand on his thick arm and back at her face. He smiled and touched her cheek with the tip of his finger. “It's fine; I will come pick you up at 8 p.m. tomorrow.”.“Are you asking me out on a date?” She asked curiously and was a little shy.“Sort of. I don't know, but you need to dress nice like you always do; that's all,” he said to her. Veronica watched them with utmost disgust in her eyes. She couldn't believe Athena was falling for his cheap deceit. She rolled her eyes and got back to sit on the couch just the same way she was before Maxwell came.“Is that time fine for you? He seeks her consent as the gentle man that he is. Maxwell didn't grow up in a wealthy home, but he had the best home training any grandchild could g

Athena paused and looked at her mother. The words that came out of her mouth at this point are words that he never imagined her mother would say to her concerning Maxwell. Saba Bash has always been her choice. "Do you even mean those words, or do you just want to pull my legs?” Athena asked her as she paused by the door”.“You know what I am talking about, but I pray you don't chase him away,” she said. She had never heard her mom take sides with her on this one. I looked at her and hoped she was joking. But it turned out she was just joking about what she said, but dead serious. Just a moment ago, she displayed her rudeness towards him, and now she wants her to give him a chance. She shrugged her shoulders. “What changed, mom? What's with the sudden change? I thought you never liked him.”. Athea asked her mom, who was busy reading from a stylish English magazine. “I don't want you to miss this opportunity, Athena; it doesn't come twice,” she said to Athena with all seriousness,

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
