Max and I returned home early. I can tell he is upset. As I prepare breakfast before he heads off to work, I ask, “Is there anything special you would like me to make tonight?” It’s Monday so I know his friends are coming over to watch a game.

“No one is coming tonight. I cancelled it last week since we weren’t supposed to be home yet,” Max replies. “And before you ask, we aren’t doing dinner with my family this week or for the foreseeable future.”

“Is everyone that disappointed in me?” I ask.

Max pauses, he seems slightly annoyed, “Ellie, you did nothing wrong. I’m not upset about the contract. I don’t care about working with Michael Alester. Please stop asking me what’s wrong. I’m not ready to talk about it. I just want to be mad. Please let me be mad. I’m not angry at you.”

I nod, “Have a good day, Max.” I handed Max his lunch.

“You too, Ellie. Take some time today for you. I’ll see you tonight,” Max replied.

After he leaves, I bake something for the nurses that take care of my fat

    Kendra and I lay next to our private swimming pool. We have a small two-room villa on the resort with a swim-up pool. Hearing my phone buzz, I quickly check it. I smile when I see Max’s name.Walking back out to the pool, Kendra gives me a knowing look, “What did he say?” she asked.I roll my eyes, “He offered to get tickets for us if there is a show we wanted to see.”“Did he call you, his kitten?” she questioned.“Not this time,” I say with a smile.Kendra sits up in her lounge chair and turns to face me. “Are you happy?”I shrug, “I’m not unhappy. I'm just worried he is playing me. Max isn’t a bad guy. He has his demons, but we all do. I’m starting to like him.”“Do you think he loves you?” Kendra asked.“I don’t know. Lucy told me that he said to Chad that he did. But Max hasn’t said anything to me. This whole thing with him could still be a game. But we are dating.”“Do you love him?” Kendra questioned.I shake my head, “What does that feel like?”“The feeling varies. But I can t

    I sit next to Max as he drives us to family day. He seems excited for me to leave. I guess he really wants a divorce.As we park, I tell him, “You can just drop me off if you want. I can tell everyone you had a work emergency.”“No, I promised you that I would attend family days. They are starting to grow on me,” Max replies. Seeing my face his smile drops, “Do you want me to stop coming?”“It’s fine. Let’s just go in or we will be late,” I respond. I don’t want to be around Max. Since I told him about the trip all he talks about is me leaving.We go inside. I’m relieved my mother isn’t here. I go play with Kelsey and Kaylee while we wait for my dad to be brought out into the main hall. Once he comes out, we do the game the staff has planned.I sit at a table with my dad and Max. While talking Max takes my hand. I quickly find an excuse to leave the table and pull away from Max.When we get back into the car, Max asked, “Why did you not want me there?”I shrug, “I don’t want my family

    I am meeting Kendra at the diner near her work. We haven’t spoken since our fight. When she walks in, I awkwardly wave to her.She sits across from me. “Hey,” she whispers.“Hey,” I reply.“You still mad at me?” she asked.I shrug, “A little.”Kendra smiles, “Well, come be mad on the sandy beach in Miami. I got a trip for two fully paid.” She hands me a brochure.“How did you get that?” I asked to take the pamphlet. I begin looking through it. “This place looks expensive.”“It is. It’s super exclusive. A client gifted it to me. All expenses are paid. There is a meal plan and everything. For five days, you and I get to lie on the beach and sip drinks from coconuts.” Kendra says excitedly.“Why aren’t you taking your boyfriend?” I questioned.Kendra sighs, “Because he isn’t my best friend.” When I don’t respond, Kendra adds, “You are right, our situations are different. Perhaps it was a way to exact revenge for your birthday. You told me not to say anything. Then, when you said somethin

    MaxI sit in my office going over the travel arrangements for Kendra and Ellie. I call Kendra, “Kendra, this is Max. I’m sending you the travel information. It is all done.”“Wow, that was fast. I wasn’t expecting you to do it,” she admits.“When you return, make sure Ellie knows her worth.” I tell her.Kendra agrees, then we get off the phone. I go to lunch, but I can’t eat. Ellie has made a chicken dish. It is one of my favorites, but I can’t eat. My mind keeps going back to the fact my father lied to me and that he won’t let Ellie divorce me.Gwen comes into my office the moment I return from lunch. “Your wife made it to the second round of interviews. Do you want me to have them skip the formalities?”“No, I had you put her under Davidson for a reason. I want Ellie to know she got the job from her hard work, not because she is my wife,” I tell Gwen.“She is getting the job because she is your wife. I sent an email to the hiring manager. He knows Ellie is getting the job for sure. W

  • His Wife   Chapter 57

    MaxEllie and I walked back to our hotel. We did the carriage ride my father suggested and took plenty of pictures, but I don’t feel it was as romantic as he thought. Ellie spent most of the time covering herself. She relaxed slightly when I gave her my jacket. I hate that she is self-conscious.“There is a restaurant not far from here that is famous for their desserts. Would you be interested in trying it?” I asked.Ellie nods, “Sure, I didn’t get to finish dinner.”We walk to the restaurant and decide to order different desserts to share. I ordered a sea salt caramel cheesecake while Ellie ordered a passion berry and mint dessert. Once they arrive we try the passion berry first. We look at each other, then back at the cake. “What do you think?” Ellie asked.“It doesn’t taste like anything. There might be an after taste of mint,” I reply. Ellie takes a sip of her tea. “What do you think?” I ask in a teasing tone.“It isn’t something I would choose again, but it is nice to try somethin
