Chapter 25 Out for dinner 1*

Tina paced angrily around her room, her face contorted with rage. "How can Maxwell love someone else? I thought he loved me! No, no, I won't let this happen. I will make sure Maxwell loves me and only me." Tina murmured, her mind set on her mission. She walked to her desk and grabbed her phone. She dialled the number of the leader of the goons and waited until the call was picked up.

"Hello, I have a new job for you," Tina said. "I promise to pay you with interest, please do this job for me."

"All my men got killed because of the last job you asked me to do," the leader of the goons replied coldly. "This time if you want me to do any job for you, I want something else as payment, if you are up for that you know where to find me." The leader of the goons hung up the call.

Tina threw her phone on the bed, her anger boiling over. "I guess I have no other choice," she said through gritted teeth. Knowing that she had no choice, she went to the bathroom to take a shower.

.....

"Maxwell, why did you call me here? Michelle questioned as she pulled a chair so that she could sit. '' Something related to Melissa right??"

" Yes, " Maxwell took a black card from his drawer and handed it to Michelle. " I wanted to give it to Mellisa but I knew that she would refuse that's why I Am giving it to you, there's 10 million on this card it will help you with everything you need. " Maxwell said it was nothing.

Michelle's eyes widened as she took in the sight of the black card in Maxwell's hand. She knew that this card contained an unimaginable amount of money, enough to help her and Mellisa with whatever they needed. Even though she was tempted to take it, she knew that Mellisa would never accept it if she found out. With a heavy heart, she shook her head.

"I can't take this, Mellisa would never accept it. She has too much pride and ego for that."

Maxwell chuckled, understanding the situation. "Take this card, Mellisa won't know that I gave it to you if you don't tell her. All you have to do is keep it with you. Don't forget that Mellisa is pregnant and she will have a lot of cravings. How will you buy her what she wants if you have no money?"

Michelle sighed, knowing that she couldn't refuse. Taking the card, she said, "Okay, but you will have to do something for me in return. I want you to find me a good job. I want to work so that Mellisa doesn't doubt me."

Maxwell nodded in agreement. "It's done. You can go now. Without saying anything more, Mellisa left the study room.

....

" Granny, I realise that I am in love with Mellisa and I want her back, " Zick said Making Riya smile.

Riya smiled listening to her grandson, she knew that Mellisa's kindness was going to make him a responsible man and she was happy to realise that she was right. " I will ask some of my men to help you out, but I suggest you look for her at the restaurant or hotel, she must have found a job there. "

Zick smiled at his Granny as she agreed to help him look for Mellisa. "Thank you, Granny, for not refusing to help me. I will ask my men to look for her in the hotels while I search the restaurants. I'm sure she is somewhere around here," Zick said.

Riya smiled at her grandson. "Go and get your wife back home. I will sleep for some time. It's time for you to take over my company. I'm getting old now," she said, jokingly.

"Okay Granny, I will do anything for you. Take some rest now and I will come back later," Zick said before he left the room. He was determined to find Mellisa and bring her back home.

...…

It was already 7 pm, and Maxwell was ready to go. He had changed into simple black ripped jeans, a white shirt with a black leather jacket on top, and black sneakers, giving off a bad boy vibe with his hair combed very well. As he walked down the stairs, his heart skipped a beat when his eyes fell on Melissa. She was looking so beautiful in a simple white summer dress and white sandals, her long chestnut hair cascading over her shoulders, framing her petite, delicate face. Even though she was wearing simple clothes, she still looked beautiful with light makeup on.

"Dad, be careful, you don't want to fall on the stairs right?" Shina jokes, knowing that her father would give that reaction.

Knowing that she was pulling his leg,

Maxwell said nothing.

"Come on, let's go. I'm sure the driver has the car ready," Maxwell said when he reached where Melissa, Linda, Shin, and Michelle were.

" Dad, you go ahead with Mellisa. Linda said, making Maxwell raise his eyebrows. " There's something I want Michelle and Linda to show me on the way, I don't want Melissa to get tired because of us. She is still unwell so the three of us will go in another car. "

" I don't mind waiting for you guys. '' Melissa quickly said. " You can do whatever you want. I will wait in the car for you. "

" No Mellisa, you are not well to sit in the car for a long time. " Shina said. " You must rest or you are no longer interested in recovering and finding yourself a job???"

" The doctor clearly said that you should rest without tiring yourself. " Michelle joined Linda and Shina, they planned to let Maxwell and Mellisa travel together to the restaurant so that they can get to know each other and get married before her belly starts showing up. Luckily Shina also got to know what happened that caused Mellisa to get pregnant by Michelle and Linda, all thanks to her skill of sneaking on people without them realising it.

Mellisa raised her eyebrow in confusion but she said nothing at all. "Okay fine, it seems like you don't want to go with me. " Melissa said. " Come fast when you are done with whatever you want to do.

Maxwell smiled to himself, understanding the situation. He knew that it would be difficult to try to change Mellisa's views on men, but he was determined to do whatever it took before her belly began to show. "Alright," he said, "let's go then, but be careful on the road and come soon.

They all left the house, and Maxwell and Mellisa left in one car. Once Melissa and Maxwell's car was gone they stopped the drive.

" Drive, stop the car, we are not going anywhere. " Linda said. " Please order dinner for us. "

The three of them got out of the car and went back inside the house.

..

The ride to the restaurant was quiet, Mellisa was not in the mood to speak. On the other hand, Maxwell did not know what to say. In no time they arrived at the restaurant, getting out of the car they went inside the restaurant.
