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

Maxwell was really angry; he did not think that she would disrespect and humiliate him by trying to be politely nice to him; she wasn't nice at all. He stood up, he needed to save his pride otherwise she might terminate the marriage and laugh at him. He will never let that happen. As he walked away, Veronica watched him, none of this would be happening if everything had worked out. Her husband was the first son of the Fairmont family, his family owned a family group of companies, he was the son of late Lady Fairmont who had passed away shortly after she gave birth to him. His father, the old Richard Fairmont, had to get married to another woman, his secretary and she bore two other sons for Richard. Her husband was not very favored at home. After he died, Athena and her mother had to be humble in the family, although his death was mysterious, their family didn't not bother to do anything. Richard's second wife and her son's were in charge and took over almost everything that belo

His eyes widened and his jaw dropped but he was quick to close his mouth. He was surprised since he did not see that coming.“You want to get married to me”“Yes I do, but first we have to drop a contract of three years. It is just for three years, if that's okay with you”Athena knew that this was the only way to stop her mother from trying to set her up with Sebastian whom she doesn't want to have anything to do with. But her mother doesn't want to listen, she cared more about her social status than she cared about her. Yes, she knew that her mother loved her but sometimes she can be selfish and want to protect the riches that were left behind by her father, she wanted to protect it as well but she was not going to get married to Sebastian just to do that. She only needed to get married to Maxwell just for three years and when the company finally overcame its crisis, and she had taken full control of power of her father's company. She will no longer be manipulated by her mother an

After Maxwell left Athena heading back home, his mobile phone began to ring and he took it out from his pocket only to see a call from Mirabella, her name flashing on the screen.He smiled and picked up the call he was about to call her and tell her that he had met up with Athena and that everything had worked out eventually.“Hey cousin” “Are you done meeting up with Athena? Tell me, how was it? Did something go wrong? Did she accept you? I was worried if you could pull this off and I have been pacing around all morning while staring at my mobile phone.Maxwell laughed. “You have to calm down, I told you I will take care of it and I did, everything worked out perfectly, I met up with Athena in her house”“How was the reception? I hope she wasn't mad that you showed up, not in your best clothes?” Mirabella was aware of the clothes that he had picked out to go meet up with her, after they were done from the cafe the other day, she had gone with him to his house and stayed with him.

“What can I get for you Ma'am?”“Nothing yet, I'm waiting for someone but you can just get a glass of wine for the meantime”“A full bottle of champagne wine”“The most expensive” She closed the menu and stared out through the window. She glanced at her wrist watch once again. Mirabela has gotten to the restaurant before Maxwell and has been waiting for him glancing at her wrist watch every now and then, she wonders what was keeping him up. She was aware when he flagged down a taxi after she sent the address to him. Could it be traffic? She wondered and gently tapped her finger on the desk.“Do you need anything Ma'am?”“No, I don't need anything else, when I do I will call your attention, still waiting for someone”“Alright” the waiter walked away. She sat by the window staring outside smiling at the beautiful city of Greenwich. Outside the restaurant was bustling with many men and women who were returning from their busy schedule. She has never really gotten the full feel of the ci

Sebastian glared at him, his eyes dimmed, his jaw clenched, fuming in anger.“How dare you do this to me?” He yelled, gaining the attention of the few people who were equally dining in the restaurant. They looked at the sight before them wondering what was going to happen next. “You deserve it for what you just said to Mirabella how dare you insult her you should have stayed away when you saw us, and not try to flash your wealth”“This lowly peasant!” He barked, his eyes blazed with anger as he reached out to grab hold of Maxwell's T-shirt, Maxwell took a step backward and he almost fell to the ground. Maxwell smirked, he molds his fist tightly while Mirabella watches with displeasure. So much for a nice meal. All she hoped for was just to have a simple meal with her cousin and return back home. She was not expecting to see an arrogant fool who thought that he could buy her with money.Looking at him he reminded her so much of John and she was disgusted. However, her thoughts were s

"We are so sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused you. Ms. Wilmore," Mr. Tommy bowed.At the moment, Maxwell could no longer hold on to the joy that lingered in his heart. Seeing a decent man bow to his young cousin Mirabella. A smile formed at the corner of his lips as he watched Tommy order the security guards who had harassed him a few minutes ago to apologize properly."We are sorry, sir," they said, bowing their heads in unison.Maxwell and Mirabella continued with their meal, ignoring every other person in the room."He's got some guts." Mirabella chuckled as the thought of Sebastian's arrogant advances crossed her mind."I know his type, and I know exactly how to stop his little charade." Maxwell's tone was stiff and determined as he dug into his meal."So how was the wedding? That calls for some celebration, right, or don't you think it does, my newlywed?" Mirabella teases; without waiting for Maxwell's approval, she lifts the glass of wine and makes a toast to for

"What is he talking about?" Maxwell asked but Athena waved his question away." I need some fresh air" she announced and began walking out. Maxwell followed and in what seemed like five minutes the duo walked back into the hall. Veronica’s face immediately turned dark as Athena and Maxwell approached the table where she was sitting. The table was originally reserved for the Farmont family, but Grandma and her two sons were busy greeting and chatting with the guests who had just arrived.The elegant white tablecloth, crystal glasses and polished cutlery adorn the dining table.

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
