Chapter 53

(Maxwell's POV)

The day had started as a disaster.I woke up very late yet I had to meet with the president of Spark.I can't even begin explaining how I got into such kind of a sleep but I was really glad that Monica covered up for me and the president was patient enough to wait for some time.A thought of losing that partnership struck me but luck was on my side.Anyways it felt so good to have a president wait for me in my conference room.Then more to that, I saw my Ammy, that was one thing I had not expected.A very strange feeling overshadowed me when I saw her.My heart started beating very fast and I felt my legs getting weak.I couldn't understand what was happening to me but it made me understand how much she meant to me and how much I loved her.She was very pretty and as charming as ever.And the way she called me caused something in me that I couldn't even tell.Even though she was wearing something I didn't like seeing her in,I loved what I saw.Her body shape, how her hair was made, her pretty lower tummy that was clearly visible, her smile and those dimples...she was just beautiful.I couldn't contain my joy and feelings anymore and I can't tell how my legs carried me to her and my mouth just called to her name.I rushed to her and hugged her so tightly that I could feel her body temperature and every curve of her body, making my body behave in a very funny way I had not felt before.I released her from my grip and took her face in my palms, wrapped my arms on her waist tightly and kissed her passionately,in public, all my staff watching us.I took her to my office and we were just okay until she told me that she left the house without her guards.It was the second time she was doing that and I didn't like it.She had to get used to being a real Storm since she would be my wife in some days time and not a stubborn lady like my sister, Milady.I just don't understand why she was so stubborn to take that and that got me mad at her and behaved coldly towards her as we went for our lunch.The waiter came to take our orders and I thought of behaving as a gentleman and so I handed her the menu but she ignored me.

'Did she just ignore me!?'I could feel my guards rising further.I handed the menu back to the waiter and asked him to serve us their special recipe.A female waitress came to serve us chilled orange juice.This is where I saw a real drama.The waitress had not even served the juice to me when Ammy picked her glass and gulped half the content.Both the waitress and I just stared at her behaving like a crazy lunatic.We were sitted waiting for the waiters to serve us when her phone buzzed and she received it and I guessed she was talking to one of her friends in Gel but I almost took the phone and crashed it against the wall when she called whoever she was talking to 'babes' but I had to maintain my jealousy and anger.I kept on staring at her, because of her beauty until she said something that made a strange feeling pierce my heart and made me avert my gaze.

"Am fine...very fine...and my wedding is just some days away..."she spoke and her voice broke as though she would break to tears.The voice reflected the pain in heart and I could feel it as well and it was tearing my heart apart.

'Whats this feeling?'I asked myself as I looked outside the restaurant through the transparent glass wall when I averted my gaze from her.A huge lump formed in my throat.I was concentrating in knowing what I felt and why hearing Ammy say that and the pain in her voice brought it, that I didn't see the waiters coming pushing a cart of food.I pushed away the thoughts when one of them said something that I didn't heard.I turned my head and looked at them, then back at the beautiful lady sitted before me.She kept the phone in her purse and took a serviette out from it and wiped off some tears from her eyes.

'Did I make her cry?'I found my mind asking again.I wanted to ask why she was crying but the waiter where still setting the table though I was sure they had seen her wiping off the tears.Her eyes then fell on the foods on the table and they widened.She then looked around and looked back at me.I really expected her to say something but she didn't and that too devastated.Her silence was really deafening me and making my heart feel as though it was melting.I took the cutleries in my hands and she did the same.We both ate quietly and we were done,she decided to reject my offer to hang around for a while with lame excuses.The rest of the day was not too good.I really wished Ammy had stayed for the rest of the day.It was soon 5 pm and I had to leave.I finished up the files that were on the table and walked out of the my office after wearing my coat.

"You are already leaving sir?"I heard someone ask as I was walking towards my elevator.I turned around and saw Monica, she really had grown guts to approach me so directly and I didn't like it at all.I wanted to ask her why on earth she was asking such a question but I couldn't i I had to say. in the politest way I could.I saw the hatred for Ammy she had in her eyes and I was sure that she was no different from most of the ladies.She loved but I couldn't treat her. because she was a very good secretary.

"Yes.Did you have any other reports for me to make?"I asked her, looking at her straight at her face.She entwined her fingers and bit her lip nervously before responding.

"Yes sir...I mean no sir,"she spoke sounding very nervous.I was disappointed in her for liking or loving me.I love Ammy and I only belong to her and I didn't like the fact that she liked me so I had to make something clear.I walked back to where she was and stood inches from her.She looked at me with her puppy eyes.She was very pretty and smart and am sure no man would let go of such a beautiful woman but I had never noted that before now,now that I was fully taken and even if I wasn't it, I wouldn't be with a mere secretary.

"Monica....you are a very pretty lady but I want to clear something.You are my secretary and nothing will ever exist between us except for work stuffs....and you shouldn't hate Ammy because sh is going to be my wife soon and being an enemy to her, will be making enemity with me,"I told her calmly and unprofessionally.

"Yes sir...I won't forget that,"Monica responded but her voice was breaking.I knew she was hurt by that but seriously, I cared less about that but I had put my point across and that was the most important thing.I walked to the elevator and it took me to the ground floor.I strode to where my car was parked and settled in and the driver drove off the building, followed by the rest of the cars in my convoy.I arrived at my mansion an hour later and strode to the house.

"Hey hey hey..."somebody shouted me as I walked upstairs.I turned back and looked and the face I saw freaked me out.

"What are you doing in my house Miguel?"I yelled at him at the top of my lungs.He had not responded to my question when Vivan also appeared.It seems he had been at the kitchen since he was eating a sandwich.

"And you are from my kitchen?...don't you guys have your own houses?"I yelled at them again but they remained quiet.Miguel looking at Vivan and Vivan chewing his sandwich as if he didn't hear what I said.

"It's been a while since we came here, really..."Vivan began when he swallowed his sandwich.

"A while?....just some days ago?"I barked at him.

"What's happening?"I heard someone asking.The voice came from the stairs.I looked up and my eyes met my younger brother, Michael.I let out a loud frustrated sigh before speaking.

"And what are you doing here?"I know turned my attention to Michael.

"Seriously, I haven't seen you since your engagement night and I haven't been at your place for almost a year now,"Michael defended himself.

"Do you even have to see me Mike?...so why are you here?now that you've seen me?"I asked him.

"Am here as your brother...to help you out incase you need any help with the wedding preparations,"Michael responded sounding annoyed and I wondered why he was because he had no right to be annoyed but I had and further more, he never liked coming to my place so...

"Wait...mum asked you to come over?"I asked him.

"You are always very smart and that's why I envy you,"came Michael's response and he walked back to where he had come from.Like seriously, did mum think I was a child again because I was getting married and so I needed help from my brother?I grabbed my phone from my pockets and dialed a number.The phone rung for a moment before it was received.

"Mum, why did you ask your son to come to my place?...I don't and won't need any help from him, I already have designers and servants,"I complained angrily when she received the phone.

"But no brother....honey, don't be ridiculous and why can your friends come to your place and not your brother?"she asked me.Actually she was speaking some sense.Miguel and Vivan were always at my house but not my siblings nor any of my family.Its time I changed that I guess.I ended the call without saying anything else.
