2023-11-10 00:05:22"I will hand over all your assets to you after your graduation. In the meantime, I have a gift for you".
He handed him a sleek silver card. His grandfather's eyes twinkled with a mischievous grin.
Maxwell raised his eyebrow. His curiosity piqued.
"What is that, grandfather?".
"Upon reaching here, I thought of getting you something but I'm not sure I know what you would like. My spies did a terrible job at finding out what you desired so much. So here, take this. A credit card. It has 100 billion dollars in it. Spend it on whatever you want".
Maxwell's eyes widened, his heart racing as he stared at the card. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.
100 billion dollars? It seemed like an impossible dream.
"Grandpa, are you serious?" Maxwell stammered, his voice quivering with disbelief.
His grandfather nodded, another grin was spreading across his wrinkled face. "I'm serious as the day is long, Maxwell. "
Maxwell was in shock.100 billion dollars on a credit card was beyond anything he had ever imagined. He thought about all the things he could do with that kind of money.
Pay his rent, buy himself some food, pay his tuition, buy Vicky something nice— oh. He stopped to think.
There was no more Vickie in his life.
He fought back the aches he felt in his heart, threw his arms around his grandfather, hugging him tightly. "Thank you, Grandpa," he said, his voice filled with emotion. "I will never let you down.I promise."
His grandfather patted Maxwell on the back, his eyes moist with pride. "I know you won’t".
He peeled off and stared back at the card when he heard someone chuckle. He had forgotten someone else was there with them. Mirabella.
"You're excited too easily", she busted into full laughter. Maxwell's cheeks turned red. He lowered his head to hide his face.
"I was just happy, that's all. No need to laugh at me for that".
Mirabella didn't listen. She increased her rumbles and laughed until she felt okay. She moved to him, lifted his chin with her index, and stared into his eyes.
"If that was enough to make your cheeks turn red, then what would happen when I tell you the bigger news?".
Maxwell's eyes popped open again. "What?!". He held his cousin's hands and pleaded for her to tell him with his eyes. A rush of adrenaline was in his veins.
She hesitated, building his interest the more. Maxwell clutched her in an embrace and shook her gently, "Come on cousin. Tell me".
"Alright, alright. I will'' she stopped laughing and straightened her back. She looked over at her grandfather for permission. He nodded slightly. She looked back at Maxwell again, winking at him.
"So… it seems someone might be getting married", she laughed again.
"Who?" Maxwell's questioned brows rose again.
She cleared her throat and acted seriously. "You of course. You have a fiance waiting for you".

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
