Zander was disheartened, he saw that Maxwell was hurting. It was hard for him to accept that his parents were killed on a mission by a dangerous group. “You don't have to beat yourself up, it is not your fault that it happened” “I know it is not my fault, but they ripped me away from my parents and they killed my father. I will never forgive them for what they did. I will never forget this day and now I will live the rest of my life plotting revenge against them. I will make sure that they will kneel in front of my parents grave and apologize to them a million times” “I understand how you feel. Your father loved you. When he heard that your mother was pregnant, he was so happy it made him the happiest man on earth, he had plans for the both of you. He wanted to take you to your first game, wanted both of you to hang out on Father's Day and spend Christmas together as well” Maxwell's eyes sparkled, he did not know that his father had such big plans for the two of them before even

Maxwell looked at him, he studied the lines on his face and wondered what he was up to. A while back he had asked those men to take him and now he was trying to butter up to him as well. He shook his head disgusted over his sudden behavior and that act of pretense doesn't move him at all. “Why the hell do you want to know?’ “Just tell me all right and stop playing hard to get” Mason glared at him. “This has nothing to do with you so mind your own business and quit bothering me” He wondered why he was suddenly Inquisitive after he met Zander. He knew Mason was that kind of man who will do anything so that he will be noticed by the rich folks but he has no idea that Zander will never want to have anything to do with him. Maxwell sensed that with the manner that Zander had ignored him earlier and walked towards him, but Mason would rather make a fool of himself than take the hint that he wasn't needed. “Tell me the truth, I am really interested. I want to know how you got to know

He staggered backwards. His grandmother was surprised and at the same time worried about him. Maxwell was beaten up by John earlier that day, he felt uncomfortable but at the same time he felt something so strong. Maxwell had never felt anything like that before and didn't know what to do about it. “Are you alright?” “Yes I am” He managed to say but his Grandmother looked right into his eyes. She studied the lines on his face, she hoped to see right through his soul. The thing that he felt that made him uncomfortable was an indication of his special talent. “I think I need to lie down or something” “Why? Do you have a fever? Do you need to go to the drug store?” “No Grandmother, it isn't anything like that. I don't need to go to the drug store and I am feeling much better now” He lied so that she wouldn't be worried sick about him. However, his Grandfather Harryson who stood there knew that he was lying. There was something wrong with him whenever he said that. Nevertheless he

It was the first day of Maxwell's meeting with Zander. He had come with the bodyguards to pick him up and drive him to the Wilmore. It was nothing of its kind and Maxwell was surprised to find out that they were the only one in the big institute. “Have you ever fought with anyone before” “Just a few” “Who was that?” “Some student in school” “How was it?” “He wasn't alone but I managed to throw some few punch at him as well. I was not going to lose like a coward” “Alright, I like that, it is all about mindset, but first, I need you to be improve on your fitness. I don't think that anyone will teach better than your father” Maxwell was surprised he had not imagined that Zander would say that. His father was already dead. Zander smiles at him, that made him curious as to who he was. That other day, he ignored Mason that day and had slapped the scary man. He thought that he hardly smiles, and doesn't have humour in him but the little time he has got to spend with him, Zander impre

“Yes I will sign up immediately” Maxwell shot a smile at him.“You smile all the time”“My GrandMother smiled so it's difficult not to”Zander knew that he was talking about the people who had brought him up. He loved how he respected them even if they were not his real Grandparents and even after he found out that his real Grandfather was rich, he did not just throw them outside he was still by their side and was living in the same house with them.“Should we go for one more round or what?” When Maxwell suddenly regained his strength Zander was surprised that Maxwell was not tired after all that training, he was exhausted since it has been a while since he trained this hard, and he hasn't trained anybody as well. However, he admired him. He knows that he does not need to push him so hard so that he does not get tired quickly. When he eventually signs up for the fight martial art contest he knows he was going to need all that strength for the people that he was going to be up against.

“What do you mean, which fiancee? Grandfather told you about her, did he not?” “Told me about who, he said something about some marriage but I don't even know who she is” “Athena, her name is Athena Fairmont” “Fairmont?’. “Yes from the prestigious Fairmont family. He told you about your engagement to her right?” “Why am I already engaged to someone that I don't even know. I just found out that I am a Wilmore and now, I am already engaged. That is just too much” “It is not like that” “What is it like? I find out that my Grandparents are not my real Grandparents and then just when I find my new family, I find out that I am already engaged. That is how it is, Mirabella. “No, that isn't, your father saved Athena's father twenty years ago” “He saved his life?” Maxwell's eyes widened. He was surprised to hear that. He never really got to wrap his head around the other one he heard from Zander and now, Mirabella was already telling him that his father saved someone else's life. He

Maxwell was right, people do change and that was how Vicky also changed her attitude towards him that day everything fell apart. Though, he wasn't really sure if that day was just an act or if Vicky has always had that nasty attitude and he just got to find out about it that day. “I know, but I don't think that she will or they have” “For someone that you don't know, you sure do know how to defend her a lot. Anyway, I would be meeting with her tomorrow, I think that will be a very good day, the earlier that I meet her, the better for the two of us” “Yes, but remember you must not reveal your identity to them. That's the best way you can protect yourself and the people that you care about” “I don't know her, how can I care about her” “I wasn't really talking about her but about your grandparents” “I don't think they'll be involved in any of this” Maxwell was confused. “Think about it, if your identity gets exposed and then the enemies get to know that you are adopted by two nice

As the beautiful city of Greenwich was drawn to another day, the streets were filled with Many men and women going about their daily activities. Maxwell was one of them. He had an appointment in which he had promised Mirabella that he would show up and did not need to go back on his words. He wanted to go since his father was an honorable man before he died. He wanted to live up to his name and keep to the promise that he made to his friend. He did not know this woman that much but then, he was not going to dress up nicely just to impress anyone, he had his identity to hide as well so he wouldn't have to show up looking lavish in style and swag. When the taxi driver pulled over in front of the two-story mansion, Maxwell got down from the cab and paid the cab driver before he sped off into the road. When the bodyguards noticed Maxwell approaching the gate they quickly got out from their post and lined up on a straight line obstructing his way from coming any further. “Good morning

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
