Maxwell

I groan as I try to wake up in the morning. Looking at the clock, I see it is after eleven. Sitting up in bed, I try to rub my head to stop the pounding. After rubbing my eyes, I see there is medicine for my head and water on the table next to my bed.

It baffles me that Ellie does this. Every night I make her come pick me up from the bar or club she has medicine and water out for me the next morning.

Ellie is sitting in the living room reading a book. In a harsh tone, I ask, “Did you cook breakfast?”

Ellie doesn’t look up from her book, “Good morning, Maxwell. Your breakfast is in the oven.” Ellie puts down her book and stands, “I will get it for you.”

“Will it still be any good?” I ask trying to sound annoyed.

Ellie doesn’t pause but continues to the kitchen. I follow her and watch as she takes the plate of food out of the oven. “I made banana bread this morning. Your food should still be warm.” She hands the plate to me, “I’ll get you something to drink. I already ate, but i

    MaxI go to the accounting office, fifteen minutes after Ellie is supposed to start her day. Walking, I say to Andrew, “How are the interns?”Andrew smiles nervously, “They are fine.”“What do you have them doing?” I asked. Looking around, I say, “I would like to interview them.”“Of course. May I ask why?” Andrew asked, holding his fake smile.“Working here is an amazing opportunity for them. I want to know what they have learned. Take me around and introduce me.”“Sure,” Andrew says. He shows me two of the interns.Looking around, I say, “Where is the third intern?”“Oh, her. She volunteered to get everyone coffee. She should be back any minute.”“She volunteered to get coffee, and you let her? She’s using company time. This intern should be learning.”Andrew nods, “I will fire her the moment she returns.”“Fire?” I asked. “You don’t have the authority to fire anyone. We have a coffee machine in the department.” Crossing my arms, I say, “I’ve watched an intern go get coffee for the

    MaxVivienne and Julianna rush to me as Ellie and I walk into the lobby. Vivienne pauses when she sees Ellie. “Max, I didn’t know your wife was coming.” Vivienne says with a fake smile.I pick up Julianna and put my free arm around Ellie, “It’s been almost a month, besides the story already leaked.”Looking at Ellie, Vivienne says, “I’m sorry I have kept Max away from you. It just that, Julianna and I have needed him. He is our hero. Friday night we had nowhere to go and he came to the rescue.”Ellie smiles, “Max has a kind heart. I’m lucky he chose me as his wife.” Her voice is the over-the-top voice. Ellie looks from Vivienne to Julianna, “Hello, you must be Julianna. I’ve heard a lot about you.” Ellie pulls out a small bag, “Max and I brought you a present.”“Mommy says the reason she and Max aren’t together is because of you,” Julianna says.I look at Vivienne, “What are you telling your daughter? Ellie isn’t some villain.”Ellie touches my shoulder, “Max, it’s okay.” Looking at J

    Max and I have barely spoken since arriving home. “Can we talk?” he asked. I nod and follow him to the couch. After sitting in awkward silence for a bit, Max says, “Your first day working, I got a call from Chuck saying I was being sued for child support. Vivienne had a strong case. He advised me to get to know the child so it would look better in court. We scheduled for DNA testing, and it took a while to find a date that worked for both of us. I wasn’t able to take the test until Friday.”“The kiss?” I asked.“She kissed me. I didn’t kiss back, and I pushed her away. I wouldn’t cheat on you.”“Then how was there enough time to get a camera out and recognize you?” I asked.Max is silent for a moment, “I think Vivienne planned it. She kissed me without warning; either she saw the person or called in advance. I think she and Daniel leaked the story. The Vander’s are struggling with money; this was all likely a ploy to get paid.”I look up at Max, “What do we do now?”“We wait and let t

    As I’m leaving the hospital, I see Daneil and Allen Vander. I try to give a polite smile, but it doesn’t reach my eyes. “Ellie,” Allen says happily, “What are you doing here?”“My dad is in the hospital again,” I tell him honestly.Allen looks around, “Where is your husband?” He says the word husband like it puts a bad taste in his mouth.“Max came with me Saturday and Sunday, I did physical therapy with his grandmother this morning, then came here. I told Max it was fine if he went to work.” I explained.“He’s probably with Vivienne,” Daniel sneered. I’m unable to hide the shock on my face. Daniel smiles, “Did he not tell you? Friday when he picked up Vivienne and that thing she tried to pass of as my child, he said you knew.”I continue to stare in disbelief. Allen touches my arm, “Ellie, did you really not know Max and Vivienne have a daughter together?” I shake my head, to stunned to speak. Allen and Daniel look at each other, before looking back at me. Allen softly says, “She got

    MaxEllie and I are fast asleep in her old room. My phone begins to buzz. I groggily check it to find it’s Vivienne. Annoyed, I declined her call. She immediately calls back. I ignore her call four more times. I’m about to block her number when I remember Chuck instructed me to keep the line of communication open.Slowly, I creep out of bed and exit the room, making sure Ellie is still asleep. Before I can return Vivienne’s call, she calls for the eighth time. I finally answer, “Why are you calling me in the middle of the night?"“Max, Daniel went through my emails. He knows everything. They are kicking me and Juliana out of the house. He cut off my credit cards. Please, we have no money and no place to go. Please, I know I was awful to you, but my daughter doesn’t deserve this.” Vivienne says crying.“What do you mean he knows?” I asked.“He knows Juliana may not be his daughter. Max, Daniel said awful things to her. He even let it slip that you are her father. Now she’s asking for yo

    Max and I lay in his bed. I can hear his heart pounding along with mine. “Do you think there will be bruises?” Max asked in a teasing tone.I laugh, “Who cares, Vivienne isn’t worth my thoughts. As long as I’m the one in your heart, she doesn’t matter.”“It’s only you, kitten. No one else matters.” Max replies.“Daddy?” I whispered.Max looks at me, a slight grin pulls at the corners of his mouth. “Yes, Kitten?”“I’m so tired now after pleasing you. Do you think we could order food tonight?” I asked.Max has a playful grin, “Anything you want, kitten. How does the bistro sound?”I smile, “Could we get the pistachio tart too?”Max kiss my forehead, “Of course, kitten.” Max has a devilish grin, using the back of his three fingers, he traces from my chest down to my belly button, “You need to do something for me, though, kitten.”“What Daddy?” I asked.“Get out the plug and lube.”I quickly get out the items and hand them to Max, then I bend over the bed. Max comes behind me. He begins m
