Chapter 42

Ammy sat on the bed and stared at the door where Max had walked out through.She wondered what she had said so wrong that he said all those hurtful words to her.She sighed silently as she got off the bed and walked to the bathroom for a cold shower.She took off her dress after a while of struggling and her pants came after.She stood under the shower and turned it on.The cold water soaked her hair and and began running down her smooth skin.Max's words kept on ringing in her mind.

"Never in your miserable and pathetic life...."the words repeatedly rang in her mind.She turned off the shower and walked towards the cabinet.She picked a towel and wrapped it against her smooth and well curved body and she stepped out of the bathroom and headed to the closet.Ammy dried her hair and body and wore her pyjamas.She walked back to the bedroom lazily and tucked herself under the duvet.She really wanted to have a cool rest but Max's words kept on ringing in her mind and she couldn't even sleep.

"Should I go check on him and ask him what I had said wrong that he got so mad at me?"she asked herself.

"Definitely not.If I had said anything wrong then he should just say it to me and not give me such an attitude,"she gave herself a piece of advice before forcing herself to sleep.Ammy didn't know when she fell asleep but she was woken up by the bright room flooding in her room.She tightly shut her eyes already closed eyes and turned herself to the other side so that she could continue sleeping but someone wouldn't let her.

"It's breakfast time Mrs Maxwell Storm,"the feminine voice started.

"Maya go away please,"Ammy responded lazily.

"Ofcourse not,better get up because Max sent me to wake you up.I had to abandon my poor breakfast just to come wake you up...so you are getting up,"she stated while moving closer to the bed.Ammy didn't respond to her and neither did she wake up.Maya got impatient and she started twinkling her.Ammy hoped off the bed laughing and she ran to the bathroom.

"Don't go to the bathroom Ammy,come back and enjoy your soft bed,"Maya called to her while laughing as well.She sat on the bed and waited for her to finish freshening up.Ammy was soon done and she walked out of the bathroom.

"You are still here?"she asked when she saw Maya sitting on the bed.

"Yes I am,"she responded looking at her.Ammy narrowed her eyes at her.

"What?...go get dressed am waiting,"Maya almost shouted at her.

"But am up so go take breakfast,I will be out soon,"she suggested while walking to the closet.

"I can't take breakfast alone Ammy and am very hungry so please be fast,"Maya spoke and Ammy stopped at the door and turned to look at her with a confused look.

"Alone...?"Ammy asked her not sure of what she meant by what she just said.

"Yes,alone...no one is here expect Ammy and Maya ofcourse,"she answered.

"But where is everyone.Its Sunday today so..."

"Aaagh...I don't know Ammy but can you just get dressed and come with me,"she complained and Ammy nodded and walked to the closet.She stood at the closet for a while not sure of what to wear.She finally picked a faded blue crazy shorts and white t-shirt and wore them after her pants.She dried and tied her hair into a loose bun and picked blue sandals and walked out of the closet without any make up on.

"Are you also going out?"Maya asked her as soon as she walked back to the room.

"Definitely not Maya..."

"Then why do you look so wow?"she asked her while smiling.

"Oh, thanks Maya....am pretty sure your hunger has just intensified so let's get going before you faint or rather...die,"Ammy teased.

"I definitely can't die because it that,"Maya defended herself.

"Then you didn't have to wake me up if you can't die because of starving for a while,"Ammy retorted at her.

"But you are up and all set now so let's get going,"Maya responded while smiling.Ammy just looked at her and they walked out of the room and went downstairs to the dinning hall.They were all surprised to see Max at the dinning table taking his breakfast while staring at something on his phone.They both remained transfixed at the door, looking at the figure before them.

"I thought you said there is no one here,"Ammy whispered at Maya who was standing just a step behind her.

"I think I just imagined that,"Maya defended herself again and Ammy just sighed and shook her head lightly.Max had seen them when they were walking towards the dinning room and he just looked at them standing at the door and wondered what was wrong with them but he shifted his attention back to his phone.

"If you aren't coming inside then go back to wherever you are coming from,"Max spoke still looking at his phone.

"Morning too Maxwell,"Maya responded walking towards the the dinning table.She sat down and took a plate so as to serve herself.Max looked at her with a raised brow after what she said.

"I don't think I greeted anyone,"Maxwell finally spoke.Maya looked at him and smiled sweetly at him.

"But you definitely should have so I took that as your greetings,"she answered still smiling at him.Max nodded silently.Ammy looked at Maya amused by her attitude.She knew she was naughty but she didn't see that coming.

"Are you seriously still standing there?"Maya asked Ammy who was still standing at the door.Ammy snapped from her amusement and walked towards the table.She sat besides Maya.

"Ammy, am not your fiance.You should sit beside him and not me,"Maya spoke pointing at Maxwell who was sitting opposite them.Ammy just looked at her with a 'can't you just shut up' look before picking a plate and served herself breakfast.Max was secretly stealing glances at her and he could see that she was really avoiding him in all ways possible.The table was silent until she spoke.

"Maya, didn't Milady tell you where she was going to?"Ammy asked looking at her.Maya chewed her food unhurriedly while looking at her as well and swallowed before she could answer.

"Nope,infact I haven't seen her,"she answered.

"Then how did you know she isn't around?"Ammy continued asking.

"I asked Richard and he confirmed that she had left with Michael earlier,"she explained.Ammy turned her attention to her food and shoved some of it to the mouth.

"I guess this will be a long boring day,"she added after swallowing her food.

"You still are guessing?...I am sure it will be just as you said,"Maya responded while still eating.The table was silent again as they ate their meal.They were both done when Maya came up with an idea.

"I think I have got an idea Ammy....let's go to my house...I really miss my dad,"she aired out her idea.

"Your home?...me?...I cannot set my foot there.Your mum hates me Maya,"she reminded her,incase it had slipped her mind.

"And we aren't going to see my mum.We are going there to see my dad and we will then stay in my room until later on."

"But we can't leave here without mum's permission,"Ammy objected.

"We don't need aunt Milla's permission.... let's ask Max instead,"she suggested and Ammy just sighed loudly and turned her attention away.All that while,Max was just watching the ladies talking as though he wasn't there.He was very pleased when Maya suggested that they should ask permission from him, atleast she would talk to him.

"Tell him Ammy,"she whispered in her ear but Ammy shook her head in refusal.

"Why not Ammy...just do it,"she pursuaded her.

"I don't want to Maya so just ask him...after all he is your brother,"she whispered back not knowing that he was still hearing them.

"But he is your fiance...and that's different from being just a sister."

"Maya, I am not doing it and will never do it...so if you won't then let's just stay ,"she hissed at her and stood noisily from her chair and walked away.Max looked at her walking away and he felt guilty that he was the cause of her change in attitude towards him and her behavior.Maya looked at her in shock and surprise and looked at Max as well.She silently stood from her chair and also walked away wondering what was wrong with Ammy and why she had that attitude when she mentioned Max.
