John replied to him with a kick to the chest. Its impact sent Maxwell flying into the ground.
He winced in pain while he struggled to stand up.
"You're a nobody and you should have stayed that way. Mind your fucking business and stay low".
He spat on Maxwell's face. Vicky came up from behind John Reider. She held another bottle of wine in her hand. She had found it in Reider's car. Her lips curved into a smile as she tried to open it .
She struggled briefly before she popped it open and turned to Maxwell.
"You always told me you'd never tasted wine before. Open wide!"
John went on his squats. He grabbed Maxwell by the cheek and forced his mouth open.
"Open wide you son of a bitch!". He tightly pressed on his cheeks, spitting into his mouth while he used his other hand to slap him.
"Open wide so you can taste this. You might never be able to afford this in your life".
Maxwell tried to push him away but a guy suddenly jumped to his back and held him firmly.
Vicky was nearing him. She had her lips curved into an 'O' but with a wicked smile in her eyes. She poured the wine down. Little got into his mouth but most of it entered his eyes, his ears and his nose.
He was suffocating, yet, they were laughing.
He struggled to stand when Reider dragged at his collar and tore his shirt.
It was the only good shirt he had. He wore it for work and school. He wore it today because Vicky was coming over.
Underneath his shirt was torn underwear. They had large holes in them. It made the girls behind him laugh even louder.
Vicky couldn't stop clapping while she laughed and Reider had a mean grin on his face.
He spat on Maxwell.
"At least get yourself some nice underwear before you think of taking my babe away".
It was infuriating to hear.
Maxwell looked down at his shirt and then at Reider.
His eyes wandered between the girls, Vicky and Reider again. Something inside of him began to boil. His breathing turned heavy.
Clenched his fist and tightening his jaw,he took a step further and threw a punch right at Reider.
Unprepared, Reider staggered backwards. Vicky screamed. She ran back to the car to call the guard Reider came with.
"You think you're so tough, huh? You think you can treat people like shit, just because you're rich, huh?"
Maxwell clenched his fist again. He threw a swift jab at John. Reider fell backwards. His nose had started to bleed.
With fury in his eyes, Maxwell got down to his level. "I'll show you how to be kind". He got ready to throw another punch when Reider's guards kicked him from behind.
Maxwell fell forward face flat. He took a while to recover while Reider got up with his guards' help.
He handed him tissues and went to pin Maxwell to the ground. The guard turned Maxwell around to face John.
John stood wiping his nose. It came off clean before he looked over at Maxwell again.
"Now, I'll be the one to teach you!". With one foot, he slammed his heel into Maxwell's face.
Maxwell's chest rose and fell as he drew in another breath, this time with blood rolling down his nose too.
His head stung from the impact of Reider's foot. He wailed in pain.
"It hurts right?" Reider mocked him. "Don't worry, I'll make sure you're too numb to feel anything".
Reider snapped his finger at his guard. It was a command to hold Maxwell in place. He was about to hit him again when Vicky came along.
"Use this instead".
She handed John a bat. "It'll be safer to leave no marks".
"Thanks, baby", John kissed her on the forehead. He faced Maxwell again. He lacked his fingers on the handle and squeezed tightly ready to swing.
“Bastard,I’ll make you regret it one day!” Maxell roared,gritting his teeth with bloodshot eyes.
“Well I’ll be waiting for that day.” John smirked.
"One".
He landed the first and then the second. The third was on its way when Reider spotted Mr Amos,the director of the university. He tossed the bat into the nearby bush.
"Mr Amos", Reider moved closer to give him a handshake. "How have you been?".

Chapter 150
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
