Maxwell receives a call from Mirabela. He has not had the time to see her since he has been busy for the last couple of weeks. An hour with his cousin was like a million dollars to him.He left home and headed for his grandfather's mansion. By this time, the guards around the house were already aware of who he was.At the gate, he was welcomed by a big guy whose smile seemed like he was happy."You are welcome, young boss," he said in a baritone voice. Maxwell looked up at him and poked him in his thick chest. Maxwell's finger cracked loudly. He paused and laughed at what had just happened to his finger.The man was dressed in a tight-fitting black polo with his breasts nudging out.He made a few pec bounces, flexing his chest muscles before Maxwell.Fascinated by the show of strength, he smiled and tapped him on the shoulders. "We should try some of these some day." He said that and continued walking into the main building.The parking lot was decorated with diverse car brands and m
Back at the Fairmont office. Duncan and his son Travis had made plans to reach out to a few investors Athena had unfinished businesses with. Travis was holding a document in his hand as he swirled himself round and round on Athena's seat."The chair seems very cool; I like it." He told his father.Travis You have to focus. The meeting is in an hour, and we have to be there before time," Duncan bashed at him."No worries, dad; we would have him sign the contract. I have learned a little magic lately. I would look him straight in the eyes and stick out my tongue a bit, and that's it".His father listened to him with interest and shook his head at the rubbish he had just spewed from his mouth. "You had better not disgrace me, Travis; don't try anything stupid.".Seeing the dead seriousness in his father's face, he laughed, hitting the top of the hand with his palm. "."C'mon, incredible hawk. I was only pulling your legs." He laughed again. Duncan's face turned red, and he pointed a fing
The empty can reverberates as the void crashes into the ground, producing a short metallic orchestra prior to subsiding into the quiet sitting room as Duncan, Damon, and Travis had just come in through the front door."What the hell was that?"Travis asked."You have no idea what happened back there, but I think the bitch is fucking the old man." Damon declaredC'mon, Damon, don't be too assertive; she doesn't have anything to do with him.No man, I know what I saw in his eyes; he looked at us like he knew goddamn well what he meant by 'Athena, and I had something good going on'. I told you she wasn't fit for that position, and thank God she is out of the way." He said.Out of the way? She ain't out of the way one little bit; she still has the power to unlock gigs and contracts with a single appearance. Something all three of us couldn't get to do today. Duncan answered fiercely."I thought kicking her out was going to make things easy for us, and now that bald vulture wants to ruin t
Under the blasting midday sun, the motor fired up, and with an eruption of speed, it tore away from the compound. Flickering in the daylight, the vehicle flawlessly converged into the progression of traffic on the highway.The distant murmur of the engine continuously blurred as the vehicle embraced the open street, a glaring contrast to the clamoring daytime atmosphere.The street is lined with tall buildings, their shadows casting patterns on the pavement. Cars zip by in a rhythmic flow, honking occasionally in the hustle of city life.They arrived at Veronica's mini mansion in about thirty minutes. When they got out of the car. The three men stood right behind the car contemplating their decision."I don't think she's home". Mr. Duncan said before quickly adjusting his suit. Then suddenly his eyes caught the Black BMW in the garage."Did you do that?" He pointed to the car sitting beautiful in the garage. "Wow dad, that's just the exact car I want". Travis said excitedly. He adv
"You will do no such thing, Mr. Duncan. How could you be so mean to your own blood?"He spoke as he proceeded down the stairs. He was only dressed in a gray shirt and a pair of faded cargo pants."I wonder what kind of uncles you people have become because of greed and the quest for power.".Shut your trap, you fool." Damon jumped up from his seat. "I have had enough of your nasty attitude, and I will make sure you get kicked out of my late brother's house, so you go back to sleeping in the gutters and eating rotten food from the slums.".Maxwell laughed heartily. "Well, I am sorry to disappoint you, Mr. But that's never going to happen."."I do not have time to exchange words with you and your chipmunk brothers. What Athena has told you is final."You all can smash your coconut heads on the wall; we do not care." He grabbed Athena by the hand as he spoke.At this point the men knew they had lost the battle, and so they left with their heads bowed.Outside, a heated argument began bet
It was 7:30pm when Maxwell decided to go back home. Mirabella offered to drop him off, but he insisted on going on his own to avoid suspicion from whomever he thought was watching him.“Give us the one you owe. A deep voice barked in the open air, and the order echoed from a distance. Maxwell was still standing beside Mirabella’s car outside the bar when the voice started booming. They both turned in the direction the voice had come from.Three hefty men surrounded a guy who lay on the floor bleeding. The men kicked on the chest one more time, and the man on the ground yelled for pain. Maxwell couldn’t hold the sound of the beating anymore, so he thought to intervene.“Ignore them. Mirabella tried to convince him, but he ignored her and went on to save the man on the ground.“Yo! Do you want to kill him?” He asked as he approached the men. One had a cigar in his hand. He walked up to Maxwell and puffed the hot air into his face.“Little boys like you should learn to mind their busines
The voices sounded faint in the distance as Maxwell laid on the floor. Zander ran from his standing position to kneel before him as he lay unconscious on the ground. The crowd cheered and a few others mocked Maxwell, saying was an amateur and weak. "Get the vegetables out of here!" A little man's voice came booming over the loud cheer from the crowd. "C'mon Max get up you got this". Zander yanked him in the rib. Maxwell immediately stood up to his feet. The cheers from the crowd reduced immediately.He checked himself to make sure he had no injury then he immediately launched back into the ring to continue the fight. The whistle came on again and the huge man tried to use the same tactic to hit him out but this time Maxwell became smarter. He dodged every blow.With the help of the insight from the book that has now opened up in his heart, he kicked and yanked. Sending heavy blows into the man's large face. And by the time he finished the man could not get up. With his face disfigu
Athena had just received bad news from her PA, Maggie. She paced the room back and forth, confused about what to do. Over the phone, Maggie revealed to her that some of the competent staff that she hired a few months ago have been laid off.“What the hell is wrong with these people?” she screamed, holding her head. Her shoulders drooped, and her eyes almost popped out of their sockets. She brushed her hair backwards and picked up her phone to dial Maxwell’s number. At least with his help and being around her, she could find solace in his words, even though they do not make much sense to her. Just as she was about to dial his number, a knock came on the door and then a chime from the doorbell.She slipped her feet into her slippers and hurried down to get the door since Matilda was busy making dinner for the house.“I could do them with my bare hands. She murmured something to herself as she approached the door. She turned the knob and found Maxwell standing before her. A part of his
