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
The driver got down from the car walking towards the other door, he opened up the door and Veronica Fairmont stepped down from the car and looked at his bodyguards who she knew was having some sparring with Maxwell. “I asked a question: what is going on here?” Maxwell looked at the SUV that she had gotten down from, it had tinted windows. With a single look into her eyes, he knew that she was not Athena Fairmont but her mother, Veronica Fairmont whom Mirabella had talked about as well, she was pregnant during the time that his own mother was equally pregnant with him in her womb. “This man here was causing a scene and I warned him that this is a private property and he need not cause a scene here by claiming to want to meet with your daughter, Ms. Athena fairmont” “You want to meet with my daughter? Who are you to her? “I think he's some criminal who just showed up here and tried to rip off Ms Athena” “You better watch your mouth, I am not a criminal, you don't know who I am so
