Maxwell blinked, inhaling a sharp breath. He couldn’t tell about his identity yet. It wasn’t time so he instead, he took out a document from his desk and handed it to her.“What’s this?” She asked as she collected it.Her jaw dropped to the floor when she saw the contents of the file.“George took away your company that you had suffered to begin and now, I have decided to give you my company to start with,” Maxwell said with a smile. “This is my anniversary gift to you.”Arabella’s eyes swept over the document with shock written all over her face and then she closed it and handed it back to him.“I can’t take this, Maxwell. This is your own company that you have worked hard for, what kind of wife would I be seen as if I take the company from you? I can’t. I’m sorry.”Maxwell sighed. He knew Arabella was someone who loved to protect her pride and wouldn’t accept this gift even when he was preparing the transfer documents. “But, wife—““I won’t take it, Max,” She said with finality. “I

The next morning, Arabella was up early. Maxwell stared at her as she brushed her hair. From the mirror, she saw him walking into the room.“Oh, good morning.”“Good morning, wife. Where are you off to so early?” Maxwell asked with a raised brow as he set the breakfast tray he was holding in his hands on the bedside table.“Uhm, have you forgotten what I said last night?” She said with pout. “Anyways, I’m meeting with some major investors today. I would like to begin as soon as possible.”“Oh I see,” Maxwell replied. “Then, I will come with.”Arabella shook her head as she stood up from the dressing table and went to eat her breakfast Maxwell had brought for her. “That won’t be necessary, Max. I can’t have the President of the most powerful company in the city following me around.”Maxwell chuckled. “You didn’t have problems in the past.”“Well, that was because I didn’t know but now that I do, my word stands and be

Jasper laughed. “Why? You came here to look for help right? Perhaps we can help each other.”Then, he leaned closer to touch her. Arabella tried to move away from him but she was already at the edge of the couch with nowhere else to run. She was trying her best to fight away the dizziness while clutching her phone with her hands.“Maxwell, please save me,” She muttered.Meanwhile, Maxwell was at his company go through some files in his office. He smiled as he saw Arabella’s call. He picked it up immediately.“Hello, wife.”His face darkened instantly as he listened to the conversation going on at the other end. His free hand clenched tightly. Jasper Merges had drugged his wife! He definitely had a death wish!He ended the call and scrolled through his contact list and dialed Hardin’s number. He picked at the first ring.“Get everyone that you can get to M&M group of companies now!”“Yes commander!” Hardin responded. “I will head over to the company now with a helicopter. We can get

“You… you killed her!” Jasper cried, thrashing manically as he crawled on his knees towards his wife’s cold body. “You don’t know what you have done! They won’t let you go.”Maxwell glanced at him, the look in his eyes made Jasper’s blood grow cold and he swallowed. He knew he was next but he didn’t want to die.He immediately tried to beg. “Sir, please forgive me! I didn’t know what came over me! I shouldn’t have touched her!”“You drugged my wife. And not only that, you lied against her. Why do you think I should go let go?”Maxwell asked, furrowing his brows.Jasper’s eyes diluted in their sockets as he thought of what to say. “I… I can stop her family from coming after you. I swear, I would put in a good word for you and you can be safe from them and even the Vallis family and I can give out the materials to your wife for free!”Maxwell let out a dark chuckle. “I’m very sure you have done this before and there’s absolutely no way
