Maxwell's face tightened and heat flushed through his body, causing his muscles to quiver. He rose off the bed and knelt in front of Melissa, taking her hands into his. "Melissa," Maxwell called out softly, trying to hold back his anger. But Melissa looked away, her eyes shining with tears."Melissa, I don't love Tina any more. We separated 5 years ago and spent another 5 years without seeing each other, which makes it 10 years. I have fallen in love with you and I want to have you in my life, not Tina," Maxwell said. "I know that Tina will try her tricks to get me back, but I will do everything in my power to stop her. Please don't doubt me because of her presence.Melissa bit her lip, trying to hold back her tears. She could feel her insides quivering with anxiety. She knew that Tina would do anything in her power to get Maxwell back, and she didn't want to find herself caught in the middle. "Maxwell, I'm sorry. It's not that I don't trust you, but it's your gender that I don't tru
Melissa stumbled into Maxwell's swanky apartment, moaning about her aching feet. "I can't take another step," she groaned.Maxwell flashed a sly grin. "Well, you are carrying a whole squad in there," he quipped, leading her to the couch.Melissa collapsed onto the plush leather cushions, propping her feet up on the coffee table. "How did you know it's two boys and a girl?" she asked with a hint of amusement in her voice.Maxwell shrugged nonchalantly. "I just have a sixth sense about these things," he joked. "What what would like to have for lunch?""Anything that'll fill me up," Melissa replied, rubbing her belly. "I'm eating like a horse these days. I'm gonna be a chubby little thing soon."Maxwell chuckled. "I can already picture it," he teased, and Melissa playfully stuck out her tongue.Maxwell couldn't help but burst into laughter at the sight of Melissa. "You look so cute right now, that I can't help but want to kiss those adorable lips of yours," he said with a grin.Melissa bl
"Thanks for helping me, I was really tired," Melissa said with a flushed face.Maxwell smiled happily, seeing that Melissa did not feel awkward. "It's okay Melissa, let's go and have dinner," Maxwell said as he held Melissa's hand, leading her to the dining room.Melissa smiled as Maxwell pulled out a chair for her and she sat down. "You are such a gentleman.""Don't worry, as long as I'm with you, I will take good care of you the way you deserve, like a queen," Maxwell said.Melissa smiled happily. "You never told me anything about your family," Melissa said as she patiently waited for Maxwell, who was dishing food onto her plate."Well, my mother and father divorced when I was little and I was raised by my grandmother. I don't know where my mother is," Maxwell said."I'm sorry about that," Melissa said sadly. "Bad things happen to good people, but now we will have our own family. Our babies, Shina, Michelle, and Linda. We will be happy together.Heat radiated through Maxwell's chest
In no time, Melissa came out of the bathroom wearing a simple pair of jeans, a white shirt, and white sneakers. Her hair was let down, and she looked beautiful and youthful. "How do I look?" Melissa asked with a smile.Maxwell tilted his head when he heard Melissa's voice, and his eyes fell on her. A smile built up on his lips. "You look beautiful as always," Maxwell said as he walked towards Melissa. "I will have to blindfold you now," Maxwell said, making Melissa pout her lips."Why? I don't like surprises. Just show me already," Melissa said.Maxwell pulled Melissa towards him and hugged her from behind. "Trust me, baby doll. I'm not a serial killer. You will surely love my surprise, okay?" Maxwell whispered in Melissa's ear, sending an electric current through her spine. Her heart was beating so fast."I don't have a choice but to trust you," Melissa forced the words out of her mouth, trying to sound as normal as she could.Maxwell smiled, he brought out a red fabric and covered M
At the Williams mansion…. Everyone was gathered for dinner. After Michelle threatened Tina, she did not try to misbehave with Shina or Linda and the house has been peaceful. "When is your boss coming?" Tina asked, her eyes fixed on Mark."Who are you asking, who doesn't have a name here?" Shina asked nonchalantly.Tina glared at Shina, her face turning red with anger. "Shut up, you spoiled brat! I wasn't talking to you. I'm asking Mark, not you."Shina glared at Tina with a pinched expression. "Do I look like a spoiled brat to you? Better watch your tongue, lady. Being a spoiled brat is better than being a gold digger.""How dare you!" Tina fumed angrily."Stop it, all of you!" Michelle slammed the table angrily. "Shina, that's not a way to talk to your elders, okay?" Michelle said, and Shina nodded her head without saying anything. Michelle turned to Tina. "And you, when Maxwell is coming, what he is doing is none of your business. I would really appreciate it if you mind your own
The next day, Melissa opened her eyes and realized that she was in the apartment with Maxwell hugging her tightly while he was sleeping. Melissa got a chance to look at his face properly.Her face flushed red, "How can you be so handsome, Maxwell? You know looking at you makes me feel guilty because I'm not as beautiful as you. But anyway, I just hope our babies look like you." Melissa murmured, looking at Maxwell's face."Who told you that you're not as beautiful as me?" Maxwell asked lazily as he opened his eyes. Melissa's eyes widened in embarrassment, and she felt like the ground would swallow her alive. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that," Melissa stammered. "How did we get here?" Melissa asked, trying to change the topic.Maxwell decided to let her off the hook. "It's okay, baby doll. I'm the one who brought you here. The weather changed last night, and it started raining, so I brought you here.""Please let go of me, I need to go to the bathroom," Melissa said when she felt
After taking a shower, Melissa and Maxwell ate their breakfast in silence; only the sound of the knife hitting the plate could be heard.After having breakfast, the two of them cleared the table and washed all the dishes. Maxwell noticed that Melissa was lost in her own world, so he decided to ask her what the problem was."Baby doll, why are you quiet? I've noticed that you were talkative for the last four days. What happened?" Maxwell asked.Melissa sighed. "Maxwell, remember what we talked about three days ago?" Melissa asked. Maxwell nodded his head, curious about what she wanted to say. "I'm ready to go through with that procedure. I can feel it in my blood that Zick is planning something big and he is going to do anything to ruin our relationship. I want to finish things with him once and for all. I'm no longer scared of him now," Melissa said, her eyes turning cold and so was her tone. Maxwell smiled and pulled Melissa into his arms. "Melissa, I will support every decision tha
After ensuring that Linda was sound asleep, she gently placed her on the soft pillow and made her way to the kitchen. As she walked, she nibbled on her fingernail, feeling a slight shiver run down her spine. Despite the challenges she faced with the ectogenesis procedure, where she attempted to grow her three babies outside of her womb, she remained hopeful. Although the procedure was painful and unsuccessful, she refused to give up on her babies. She knew that Zick, her so-called Ex-husband, would not let this situation go easily, but she was determined to do everything in her power to ensure the safety of her precious children. With a heart full of hope and a mind full of determination, she was ready to face any challenge that came her way.After reaching the kitchen, Melissa stood there not knowing what to do. The maids were doing all the work. Melissa ran her hands through her hair, her throat closing up. With a frustrated sigh, she left the kitchen and headed to the dining room.
