Mr. Blackwood is standing on the balcony at the left side of his building, it was on the second floor and from there, he could look out to the sprawling landscape of the estate and beyond. He was feeling broken at the moment, he had done his very best to avoid this moment, right from the day he found out that she was searching for him.He was not a man that cared for emotions or feelings, but today was different, he actually wanted to have a good day, but everyone seems to be against that. Why did she have to show up today of all days?Mr. Blackwood heard footsteps approaching and he sighed, not wanting to look back. He could soon feel the person standing at the entrance of the balcony by his right and he grasped the metal frames, wondering why she wouldn’t let him be.“So this is your favorite spot?” her feminine voice broke the silence from behind.“How did you find me?” he asked in a cold voice, still not turning to look at her.“I tracked your scent like a werewolf,” she chuckled

“I know, and I have lived with that guilt for the past twelve years. Your father was very angry that day, I thought he was just trying to scare you into changing, I never really thought he would abandon you there. When I found out that meant it, I pleaded on your behalf but he would not hear me out, he threatened to throw me out if I dared to bring you back, I was terrified and knowing your father, you know I had reasons to be scared.”“Wow! So you care more about your husband’s wrath than your son’s life? I could expect such a monstrous act from father, but not from you.”“Please hear me out, Dave. I…”“Don’t call me that! Dave is dead, he died in Los Angeles, I am Maxwell, Maxwell Blackwood!!” he corrected her in a rage.“I know you are angry, but please listen to me. I am sorry for doing nothing, I thought your father would be calm in an hour or two and acting up right there was not only going to get me thrown out with you, it isn’t worth it. I love you, Dave but what happens to yo

Annabel frowned and her heart skipped. “Okay, it scares me when conversations start like that, but do tell…”He smiled and was about to speak but then he caught sight of his mother signaling to him from the door, it seemed like she was about to leave.“Please give me a minute,” Maxwell said as he ended the dance and Anna sighed in relief. They both walked off the dance floor and then he left her behind.Maxwell walked up to his mother, she was standing alone but he knew she must have her security waiting for her around the corner. “Mother… are you leaving?”“Yes Son, sorry to disturb you, but it is getting late and your father won't have dinner unless served by me,” she replied with a small smile.“Mr. Forbes is never going to change, is he?” Maxwell scoffed.“Not everyone gets a redemption arc in life, but don’t worry about that. Dave… I can’t describe to you how proud I am of what you have accomplished here. I always knew you were destined for greatness but such power attracts the w

After so many weeks away, I decided to attend Friday Game Night, although Jennifer had persuaded me days earlier, I also chose to go to get some happiness and guilt-free pleasure. This Jimmy-Maxwell thing has been giving me a headache the whole week so tonight should be all about fun.I arrived at the Cruz Mansion and Mr. and Mrs. Cruz were excited to have me over, they don’t usually interfere in their children’s affairs but they were in the sitting room when I arrived today.“Welcome Anna, you look so beautiful,” Mrs. Cruz complimented.“Thank you Ma,” I replied with a shy smile.“Sure… the girls are upstairs, please do tell them to keep it down,” she instructed.I nodded and then dashed up the stairs, avoiding further interactions. Interacting with elderly people was always awkward for me, even with how much I related with my parents back at home. Speaking of my parents, I had just bought my father a car last week, it was a Toyota product but it meant so much to him.Aside from my m

Perhaps it was the alcohol in my system but I felt jittery and excited as I stood under the shower, I was becoming more conscious of my environment by the seconds and the sleepiness left my body as the cold water drizzled all over me.I thought back to the game night and the way everyone was complimenting me. Did I really change? I mean… What has changed about me? Okay, I trimmed my hair a bit and repacked it but they were exaggerating the whole thing.I thought about Gideon and I couldn’t help but chuckle. Tonight was hilarious, I know we all swore a Pact to keep whatever happens during game night a secret between ourselves but Jennifer giving Gideon a Blow Job was something I doubt would remain a secret. How did she even summon the courage to do that?“Why are you taking so long, Miss Owl?” that annoying British accent cut through thoughts.“I have not even been in that long!” I yelled back at him.“Well, it is been fifteen minutes already and if you are not out in the next three mi
