CHAPTER 93: Still not ready

For Sarah, there was something grounding about this quiet moment, about being here, watching her babies sleep. It gave her a strange comfort amidst the chaos. She didn’t feel like crying anymore. The tears had run their course. The fear had gone with the little nap Cara had made sure she took earlier in the day. What lingered now was a hollow ache and a weary uncertainty.

“I’m so sorry,” she whispered into the semi-darkness. “I was just trying to protect you.”

  • Miss Maxwell I Want You Now    CHAPTER 110: You look like me

    CHAPTER 110: You look like meSarah’s head snapped toward Edward in disbelief.The silence in the living room was deafening, heavy with questions too big for little hearts, and answers too complex for ones so young. She was more surprised that he had taken the blame for her.She stood with her hands clasped tightly in front of her, knuckles white from the force of restraint. Her gaze shifted from Robyn’s sparkling eyes to Liam’s furrowed brows. Edward stood just a few steps away, arms loose at his sides, his posture deceptively relaxed, though his heart thudded like a drum. The weight of the truth hung between them…visible, palpable, almost suffocating.He did not know why he had instinctively taken the blame for her when he saw her struggling to answer the children.It was Robyn who broke the silence, her tiny voice tinged with awe and disbelief. She was still waiting for either of the adults to further explain and confirm what they heard. She really wished that what she heard was th

  • Miss Maxwell I Want You Now    CHAPTER 109: You’re our daddy?

    CHAPTER 109: You’re our daddy?Edward was transfixed. His eyes trailed from her plump inviting lips down to the pulse at the base of her throat. He tightly restrained himself from leaning in and enclosing his mouth against the pulsing soft warm skin. Sarah saw the tightness of his features and the deep endless glittering black pools that had become his eyes, and she took a visible intake of breath, and Edward heard it too.She cleared her throat, and carefully sidestepped, avoiding him like molten lava that was going to burn her. Once she was at a safe distance from him, she cleared her throat, and Edward turned around to face her again.“Like I said… I don't blame you. But it's Veronica we are talking about. And now? She knows. She hates me and she despises the idea that you fathered my children. She’s vindictive. Especially now that you've broken up with her. You should know that better than anyone.”Her voice cracked slightly, and the inferno in Edward’s eyes softened—but only for

  • Miss Maxwell I Want You Now    CHAPTER 108: Nothing to do with me

    CHAPTER 108: Nothing to do with meSarah was finishing some work on her laptop, seated on the couch when the doorbell rang. She had barely risen from her place on the couch, before the familiar silhouette of Edward filled the doorway, tension lining his shoulders.“My apologies if I just barged in. I thought I’d find just the kids. They're always opening the door each time I call. Are they home?” he asked, stepping inside.Sarah’s back straightened. “Yes. They’re napping,” she said coolly, walking back to the couch. “You can wait for them if you're not in a hurry?”He followed her without hesitation. “Of course. I just wanted to check on them.”She went back to finish the work on her laptop. “That's good. I’m sure they’ll be happy to see you. You guys hit it off quite fast so I'm sure they will be glad.”Edward sat down on the couch opposite, his eyes never leaving her face, searching for any sign of warmth. But she had gone back to typing away on her laptop.“Did you expect anything

  • Miss Maxwell I Want You Now    CHAPTER 107: Returning the favor

    CHAPTER 107: Returning the favorVeronica swayed slightly. She gripped the edge of the chaise lounge like it was the only thing tethering her to the earth.“No—no, that’s not possible. Edward invested in the company. Have you forgotten, mom? That's where all of this started. We should not be talking about bankruptcy. We still have the penthouse, the club in Milan, the resort—”“Gone,” Estelle said with an edge of bitter steel. “All of it. Seized or liquidated.”Veronica gaped at her mother. “How? When?” She threw her hands out in frustration, with anger underlying her voice.“Well, the bills don't pay themselves, sweetheart. The expensive lifestyle. The designer brands. The spa treatments, the cosmetic procedures, and the vacations, Veronica. It's all from the company,” Estelle snapped.“But why didn’t you say anything earlier? Why didn’t you warn me?!”Estelle’s eyes flashed. “Because I was busy trying to fix it while you were busy throwing tantrums and chasing after Edward like a lo

  • Miss Maxwell I Want You Now    CHAPTER 106: It's poetic justice; it's karma

    CHAPTER 106: It's poetic justice; it's karma The door slammed shut behind Veronica, the echo reverberating through the grand but hollow foyer. Her heels clicked sharply against the marble floor as she huffed in, the fury, and the pain from the restaurant confrontation still coursing through her veins. She was barely holding herself together as it was. Everything seemed to mock her as the opulent chandelier above cast fragmented light, mirroring the chaos within her.She tossed her black purse onto the console table, its contents spilling out: a lipstick, a compact mirror, and a pressed powder. None of it mattered. She wouldn't even care if any of it got ruined. Her life was almost ruined as it was. Her world was unravelling, tilting on its axis, and she needed solace, something to anchor her, or at least a drink.As she entered the living room, the scent of expensive whiskey hit her before she saw him. Dylan lounged on the velvet chaise, a crystal tumbler in hand, his shirt unbutton

    CHAPTER 105: This is the endBenicio’s hands clenched tightly. “I'm going to say this just once, and I'm not—”Sarah got up from her seat and pressed his hand firmly. He turned to her, and she gave him a subtle nod, and he took a step back. The young mother was livid. She would never let anyone talk down on her children. She was about to show Veronica that she did not need anyone to fight her battles for her.Her voice was low but firm. “You don’t know what happened that night. And don’t you ever call my children names again. This is me asking nicely.”Veronica barked out a humourless laugh. “Oh, Sarah. Just like I told your bodyguard over there. I'm not scared of you. And about what you said, I know enough! You seduced him, and then he found out about your act. He kicked you out. And then, like the scheming little wretch you are, you disappeared to have your secret little bastards! Now you want to come back into his life and sabotage me to get him back in your trap because you had hi

She was not here when I left your wasted ass in your bedroom last night."Edward’s mind flashed back to last night, to the alcohol, the anger, and the terrible

Why are you treating this way? We're going to get married for God’s sake!"The words felt like a slap, and Ed
