Chapter 96

Miguel ran upstairs to Maxwell's room.He was fuming in anger that his chest was heaving heavily.

He opened the door and walked inside without warning nor caution.

Why was he tormenting the innocent girl and making her life hell on earth?

Ofcourse he was not aware of what had taken place between the couple but seeing tears in her eyes made his blood boil in anger.

For the time they were together in Frea City when Ammy was hospitalized and under his care,he grew to love her like a brother would love a sister.

She was adorable,kind,contained and very funny to be with.

His eyes swept the room but there was no trace of Maxwell in there.

They landed in the slightly opened bathroom door and he walked towards it.

He forcefully pushed it open and he saw him.He glared down at him in the bath tub angrily.

How heartless of him!?...his wife was out there crying and he was here relaxing in the bathtub.

He strode to the bathtub and landed his palms on his neck forcefully.He strangled him in anger.

Max jolted from his peaceful world when he felt someone strangling him.He flung his eyes open and they landed on the wild looking Miguel before him.

Max held Miguel's arms and pushed him away.Being much more stronger than him,it didn't take him a while to push him away from himself.

Miguel's butt landed in the cold floor.Max skipped out of the bathtub and stood before his friend,fully naked.

"What's wrong with you?"Max growled in anger while looking at his friend.

Was he seriously asking an angry man that question?

Without any word,Miguel stood from the ground and punched Maxwell on the face.It was such a deadly blow that made Max's nose to start bleeding.

Seeing Maxwell's blood trickle from his nose,Miguel moved closer and punched him again and again.

Maxwell didn't retaliate.If his friend was behaving that way then there must be a reason for it.

He fought the urge of dislocating his arms and legs as he looked at his friend who was now beginning to calm down.

"Are you done or you still want to punch me?"he asked calmly as if nothing just happened

Silence!

Max walked towards the cabinet,grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist.He moved to the sink and washed off the blood from his face.

"Wash you hands.I will get dressed and wait for you in my study room,"he spoke as he walked past the man who was staring at him intently.Max walked away to his closet and got dressed.

Miguel walked towards the sink and washed off Max's blood from his hands.

He wondered why he had not punched him back.

Was it because he knew why he was angry or was it because he had really done something wrong to Ammy and wanted someone to punish him?... either two,he now had to speak to Max...action time over!

He gazed at his reflection on the mirror before him for a while then walked out and headed towards Max's study room.

He had hardly walked inside the room when Max growled angrily at him.

"What was that?"he boomed angrily.

"That was just punching or did I do something else you didn't understand?"he growled back at him.

"Why on earth did you punch my face?"he asked his deadly stare steady on his face.

"Three punches Max...one for refusing to melt that ice heart of yours,the other for being an idiotic arse and the other for making Ammy cry,"he explained.

Max frowned at his reasons.None of them made sense to him at all.

"I don't get you Miguel,what's all that shit supposed to mean?"he asked still frowning deeply.

"Oh dear!... innocent baby Maxwell,"Miguel exclaimed in a feminine voice then turned serious again.

"What is it that you don't understand?...that you are an arse or that you are an asshole?"Miguel asked again and Max almost punched the shit out of him.

Why wouldn't he say what he wanted to say and get it done with already?

He remained quiet and just stared at him.Miguel sighed loudly and pinched the bridge of his nose as he calmed himself down.

Max watched him silently as he also tried to calm his enraged beast.

Why would he just punch him and call him names because of unnecessary reasons?

"Hey,am sorry man.I just loosed it when I saw your wife crying earlier,"he explained and Max frowned again.

"She is my wife Miguel,"he found himself snapping at him.

Miguel looked at him and frowned.

"That's what I just said Max,"he responded with a curt smile and frown on.

"Then why do you care so much?"he asked out of confusion on his reaction and jealous.

"Because she is a kind and wonderful girl and I don't think she deserves your shit.I know that you and your life are a mess but don't entangle her in them.She is your wife for crying out loud!!"Miguel explained.

Max sighed before responding.He thought that Ammy had already told them about what happened when Renna was around.

That would be the only reason to make him punch him so badly.

"I know I fucked up but trust it's not what she thinks,"he began explaining.

Miguel was lost...and the deep frown on his face could tell.

"I don't get it..."he admitted.Ammy had told them nothing and so he really didn't know what he was talking about.

"I didn't screw up with Renna.I know the position we were in was so freaking bad and she was naked and on top of me but nothing happened between us.I wasn't that drunk,"he explained and Miguel sighed in disappointment and almost lost his heart beat.

"You mean she caught you with Renna in an intimate position?"he asked in a loud and shocked voice.

His reaction made Max know that Ammy had told him nothing.He just blabbered out...his bad.

"You didn't know about that?"he asked just to confirm his doubts right.

"How would I know?"he retorted his own question at him.Max just sighed and averted his gaze from him.

That was very stupid of him.

"How did she know about you and Renna?...I mean where you were that night?"he asked curiously.

Max was got angry at him again.

Why would he think that he would go out with Renna at night and leave his wife home?

"She came here Miguel.I didn't go out with her,"he responded blankly and Miguel's eyes almost popped out in shock.

"What!!!!....you brought your ex and f***ed her here?...and your wife was here?...who does that?"he asked still shocked.

Max couldn't contain his anger.

Why would he think that he did that with Renna.

He rose from his chair and punched him hard,tearing his lower lip.Miguel could feel the smell of metal in his mouth.He walked to the bathroom and spit out the blood.He picked a towel and walked back to the study room while pressing the cut.

"What the hell was that for!?"he yelled his question.

"For being stupid and unreasonable,"Max yelled his answer back to him.

"Stupid... how!?"he asked in confusion as he continued pressing the wound.

"I just told you nothing happened between us and I didn't bring her here so why would you ask such a naive question again!?"he yelled at him and Miguel remained silent.He sat on the chair before Max and both remained silent for long until Miguel spoke again.

"I might have believed that nothing happened even before you said it but Ammy wouldn't.She is a woman and hasn't known you well like we have.You should talk to her...tell her the truth,"Miguel adviced.

"Will she even believe what I say?"he asked calmly like an innocent and lost child.

"She will...tell her the truth.Tell her about yourself like you know everything about her and tell her of your feelings,"Miguel continued.

"Are the last two necessary?"Max asked frowning.

"Ofcourse they are.If this marriage has to work then she has to know about you too.I was here for business but I think I will come back tomorrow,"Miguel ended his statement and walked out of Max's study.

At the gazebo,

Vivan held Ammy in his arms comfortingly.He might not know what she was going through but he was sure that she was hurting.

Ammy's sobs subsided as her head rested on Vivan's chest and his hands nestled her lovingly.She finally calmed down and they remained so for sometime.

"Ammy....am very sure that nothing happened between them.You two are married and should trust each other,"he spoke calmly in a soothing voice.

Ammy freed herself from his nestling and looked at him.

"But you don't know what I saw and how can you be so sure?"she asked calmly.No tears no anger.She was now back to her self.

He wanted to tell her that he knew Max loved her and couldn't cheat on her but it wasn't his call to reveal that.

"I get it and I don't know what you saw but I know Max better than anyone.He can never cheat and more specifically,not on you,"he responded.

"Specifically not on me!?... what does that mean?"she asked curiously.

Oh crap!...he almost said it.He looked around as he tried coming up with what to say but his eyes landed on Miguel walking towards them.

'What a good timing Mr man!'he exclaimed inwardly.

"It seems they are done.We have to go now.Goodnight and take care of yourself,"Vivan hurriedly spoke then left her still perplexed.
