2024-10-29 19:42:56"Take this. I want them all paid for right now", Vicky tossed her phone over to her boyfriend, Maxwell.
Maxwell took a look at the screen. His eyes popped open. He was one heartbeat away from fainting.
He looked back at the numbers again and then at her.His brows went inward and his forehead wrinkled. "I just got my salary today and I have an ultimatum for tuition fees. It expires today. Vicky, you know I have to pay this before I'm thrown–––
“Shut up,I’ve really had enough of you. Every time I want to buy something,you’ll find excuses!”
"Give me that!" She stretched her hand for her cell when a message popped in.
Maxwell's eyes fell on the lit-up screen. It read.
"I love how you swallowed my dick whole last night."
Maxwell's heart stopped.
Her screen was locked so he couldn't access the rest of the message but as he tried, Vicky snatched the phone from him.
"What are you looking at?" She took the phone to her face. Her eyes looked back at him.
"Why are you going through my messages?"
"You’re cheating on me? You’re refusing to have sex with me but sharing your body with another man?"Maxwell said with a rough voice,staring at Vicky.
Her hands swung motion to his face but he caught it in time. Maxwell's expression had hardened. He dropped her hand and glared into her eyes.
He commanded with a loud voice, "Answer me!!".
Vicky didn't say a word. She turned and ran to the door. "You're undeserving of me. You should be grateful I agreed to be with you.Now it’s all done!". She banged the door on his face.
“Vicky!”
Maxwell shouted. Inside of him was raging with questions.
Immediately, he followed her out.
To his surprise,a 2023 E-class Ferrari model parked outside,a man standing beside it with open arms,and Vicky ran over to him.
It was John Reider.
Maxwell froze when he saw who the man was.
He’s the only son and sole heir to the Reider group.
They were classmates but Maxwell was always too shy to say a word to him. They weren't in the same social class.
Many students had been gathering around here to watch who the lucky girl would be.
"I’ve got a present for you. It's the latest collection from Annie and Marley"
Reider kissed Vicky on the lips, brought out a diamond necklace which sparkled under the direct sunlight.
"I had it crafted specifically for you".
He moved closer to Vicky and hung the diamond gently over her neck.
The crowd behind him gushed out with 'awwwns'.
"Thank you so much, John. I've always wanted an Annie and Marley collection."
Vicky smiled sweetly at him.
John Reider had a grin on his face. His white teeth and chiseled jawline looked more pronounced.
"Last night was wonderful. And I can’t wait to do it one more time". He whispered to her ears.
Maxwell felt his heart beating twice as fast as he watched Reider step closer to his girlfriend.
“Vicky,who are you doing?!” He roared,clenching his fists.
"Oh,Vicky. Is this who I think it is?"
Reider raised a brow at Vicky, "Don't tell me he's the deadbeat of a man who's always calling you when we spend time together"
“I’m her boyfriend!” Maxwell clenched his fists,glaring at him.
“Shut up,jerk! You’re not my boyfriend!” Vicky screamed at him immediately,”Darling,he’s slandering me!” She turned to John Reider and said with a firm voice.
"He’s been pestering me for so long to be his girl and I've been too kind to say no".
Maxwell's jaw dropped. He felt his heartbeat quickened. "What did you just say?"
Reider stepped in, his deep voice echoed. "Why would you ever think you had a chance with her,you stinky cockroach? "
"I blame myself,babe. I've been too friendly. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry thinks they can date me" Vicky murmured. She leaned her head into Reider's chest once again and started sobbing.
Maxwell grabbed Vicky by the arm. He pulled her to himself, making her look at him in the eyes.
"Vicky, what the fuck are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about how I told you I could never be with you! I have a boyfriend! I told you countless times!! Reider is my boyfriend!! Why can't you leave me alone?!" She spat in his face and pushed him away.
Maxwell’s heart broke completely watching his girlfriend running behind another man and clinging to him.
From the corner of his eyes, he could see the crowd behind Reider's Ferrari laughing at him.
"He's such a loser".
"Loser" is an understatement. More like a jerk".
"He thought he could steal Vicky".
"He's pathetic. Why would he think that?" The girls giggled.
Maxwell felt his face turn red. The comments were terrible and he could see them still staring at him.
He clenched his fists,taking a deep breath,and turned to leave when he felt something cold roll down his head. It turned his hair wet and dropped down to his shirt.
The girls behind Reider's door gasped.
Reider chuckled, "Nice one baby". They jammed their palms together. Maxwell raised his eyes to see Vicky with a bottle in her hand. She had emptied everything on his head.
His lips parted.
"Vicky, what was that for?!"

John replied to him with a kick to the chest. Its impact sent Maxwell flying into the ground. He winced in pain while he struggled to stand up. "You're a nobody and you should have stayed that way. Mind your fucking business and stay low".He spat on Maxwell's face. Vicky came up from behind John Reider. She held another bottle of wine in her hand. She had found it in Reider's car. Her lips curved into a smile as she tried to open it .She struggled briefly before she popped it open and turned to Maxwell."You always told me you'd never tasted wine before. Open wide!"John went on his squats. He grabbed Maxwell by the cheek and forced his mouth open."Open wide you son of a bitch!". He tightly pressed on his cheeks, spitting into his mouth while he used his other hand to slap him."Open wide so you can taste this. You might never be able to afford this in your life".Maxwell tried to push him away but a guy suddenly jumped to his back and held him firmly.Vicky was nearing him. She

Mr Amos ,who had gained a lot of benefits from Reider's father's sponsorship to the school, gave John a firm handshake. "I'm wonderful.I see you are having a wonderful—He stopped when his eyes met with Maxwell. Weak and bleeding Maxwell, who looked tired on the floor."What are you doing here?".Maxwell could barely speak but he managed to mouth a few words. "They beat me…"The right side of his face was swollen and the left side was pink. His nose was still bleeding and his side ached.Mr Amos sighed and then looked at Reider, "Mr Reider, is this true?"."Of course not. I would never harm a student. He tried to fight me and I pushed him off. I don't know where he got that from or why he's trying to pin it on me but I would never. He punched me first".Mr Amos nodded slowly. He looked over at Vicky and then, at the girls who stood watching. They also nodded their heads in unison. "And I supposed Mr Reider here just saw you on the road and attacked you?"Mr Amos' tone was filled wit

Maxwell stood frozen as he watched the men in perfectly fitted black suits approach him. They had sunglasses on and wore earphones that had wires connected to the back of their necks. They looked like bodyguards in the matrix. He was stunned."Excuse me, sir. Are you Maxwell Reed?"The most intimidating of them stepped forward. He had the chest of a muscled tiger and a complimenting battle scar to go with it. He smiled regardless."I… I… I'm not sure." He stuttered. "It depends on what you want with him", he stepped backward, searching desperately for the best way to run from."We were sent to find you, Mr Reed. Someone important wants to meet with you. Come with us, please".The scar-faced Hulk said.Maxwell moved two steps back, "Who are you people and where would you be taking me?".His breathing hastened. He sucked air through his teeth, "Are you guys some kind of killers or something?""No, sir, and this," he lowered his sunglasses and then looked around suspiciously, "This is a p

Maxwell scoffed. The day had enough drama as it was, yet, before him was an old friendly fellow who was claiming to be his grandfather."You're joking right?".The old man shook his head, "You are my long-lost grandson. I've been searching everywhere for you, all these years. Believe me, I—-"I'm sorry, sir", Maxwell interjected, "I have my own family and I know for a fact that you are not my grandfather"."You don't know how long I have been searching for you. It took years, hopes, and worry to get to this point and now—Maxwell saw a tear roll down his eyes. He noticed the old man's shaky breath and trembling hands, "Now, you are standing right here, before me. This is wonderful"."I'm sure you're mistaken. Please have your men find your grandson, I am not him".He wanted to walk away but the old man pulled him back to himself."Grandpa, I'm guessing this is another imposter who hopes to be your grandson?".A sweet voice suddenly sounded behind him. He turned to see a girl dressed

"I will hand over all your assets to you after your graduation. In the meantime, I have a gift for you".He handed him a sleek silver card. His grandfather's eyes twinkled with a mischievous grin. Maxwell raised his eyebrow. His curiosity piqued."What is that, grandfather?"."Upon reaching here, I thought of getting you something but I'm not sure I know what you would like. My spies did a terrible job at finding out what you desired so much. So here, take this. A credit card. It has 100 billion dollars in it. Spend it on whatever you want".Maxwell's eyes widened, his heart racing as he stared at the card. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.100 billion dollars? It seemed like an impossible dream."Grandpa, are you serious?" Maxwell stammered, his voice quivering with disbelief.His grandfather nodded, another grin was spreading across his wrinkled face. "I'm serious as the day is long, Maxwell. "Maxwell was in shock.100 billion dollars on a credit card was beyond anything he

What the—- His eyes widened,and before he could digest this explosive news, the phone from his back pocket vibrated. Maxwell reached for it and placed it on his ears."Hello Alvin, what's up", he excused himself from his grandfather and Mirabella. "Your grandmother is here at school. I think you should come right away" his friend said with an anxious tone and hung up right away."Why–”He frowned,stuck his phone back into his pocket and faced his grandfather again, "I have to go!""What's going on?", His grandfather looked worried. Maxwell dashed out of the room without giving them an answer.He ran into the room panting. "Whatever happened had to be John's fault", he hissed.A car drove by him and stopped midway, "Hop in, and I'll give you a ride".Outside the school gate."Vicky, how are you?"

Maxwell ran to the old woman and quickly helped her up. She resisted but he managed to drag her up."Grandma, how could you do this?" His voice trembled.John and Vicky burst into laughter. They held their stomachs while they tried to contain their happiness, "Serves her right for having an insolent son. I can see it runs in your family's blood".Maxwell felt his heart racing. His breathing became heavy. "How dare you insult my grandmother like that?!".John nodded but before he got the chance to speak, Maxwell grabbed him by the collar. He glared into his eyes, "I dare you to say another word".A small crowd had gathered, watching and murmuring. They held their breaths waiting for the next action.His grandmother tried to pull him away. "Maxwell, you're going to end your life in prison if you continue this way, please, stop!"

"Maxwell Reed,stop it!!!!" The director's voice was one breath away from being a gong. Everyone trembled at it as they watched him walking towards them.“Mr Amos, you can see what he had done to me. I, in the name of my father,ask you to expel him from here!” John glared at Maxwell,said arrogantly.Mr Amos. The man who had placed Maxwell on suspension trotted over to him and helped him get up,looked over at Maxwell. "You used to behave yourself. I wonder what has gotten into you. I guess maybe a suspension was not enough".Maxwell’s grandmother's eyes shot up the moment she heard her grandson would be expelled. She ran to the direction and fell on her feet."Please, sir. Have mercy! Please. Maxwell is a good kid. Please, let them settle this as kids, there is no reason to be this harsh. His future is on the line.""Yes sir.

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
