Two weeks later, Nanna announced her intention of returning back to Spain, where she lived with her son and his family, much to the displeasure of everyone in the mansion, especially Angelina and Isabella who had gotten quite used to having the elderly lady around.However, before her departure, Angelina decided to throw a going-away party for her but the elder woman declined, claiming that she was too old for partying. Instead, she opted for a family outing with everyone, Maxwell inclusive. As such, he had to cancel all his meetings for that particular day at the office and let Mr. Kent at the helm of affairs for the day. He dressed casually in his chinos pants which he paired with a sky blue shirt. The sleeves of the shirt were rolled up to his elbows, exposing his ripped, sinewy muscles and the top two buttons left undone. With his signature Rolex wrist-watch, a pair of sneakers and his Ray-Ban hiding those gorgeous steely grey eyes, he was ready to go.Though it wasn't really a s
The day after Nanna left, Angelina woke up early as usual, got into the adjoining bathroom in her bedroom and freshened up. She had moved back into her own room immediately after Nanna left, as Maxwell had been repeatedly telling her to pack all her stuff and leave his room the instant Nanna stepped her foot out of the house. Even if he didn't, she herself would have taken the initiative because as much as he annoys her with his baseless accusations, she still feels bad whenever she wakes up in the middle of the night and finds him wide awake or dozing uncomfortably on the lazy sofa. Afterall deep down she's a human; a human with a soft heart, no matter what he thinks of her and so she can't stand seeing a fellow human suffering, even if he caused it by himself.After dressing casually in an orange top paired with white slacks and styling her hair in a neat chignon, Angelina fed Honey before going to the kitchen downstairs. However, immediately he saw her walk in, Alejandro slapped h
Maxwell had sent his private jet to convey his lawyer and best friend to Dubai so that they could finalize the new business deal he had embarked on. Unbeknownst to him, he was in for a great surprise when that friend-cum-lawyer arrived!He had gone to the airport by himself in order to pick up Ethan in a rental car. Since he had just come from a meeting, he was formally dressed in a charcoal black Louis Vuitton suit with matching sunglasses and shoes. And as he waited for the plane to touch down in the VIP terminal, he casually leaned with his back against the car and his legs crossed at the feet while scrolling through his phone, obliviously posing a very attractive, eye-catching picture fit for the front pages of all the bestseller magazines.He was busy speaking on the phone with Mr. Bentley, his new personal assistant when the long awaited plane finally arrived. As Ethan emerged from it moments later, Maxwell disconnected the call and without moving even an inch from where he eleg
Since she was going to an Arabian party, Angelina decided to dress like one. So she went to the boutique that was situated close to the hotel they were staying in and with the help of one of the salesgirls, she chose a beautiful, long Emirati dress and used her own personal credit card to pay for it as she never uses Maxwell's black card for any of her personal needs.Upon reaching the hotel lobby, she met the two friends who came downstairs purposely to search for her. "Oops! Sorry, I forgot to inform you guys that I was going to get myself an Arabian dress! Afterall, they say 'when you come to Rome, do as the Romans do!' Right, Ethan?" "Oh, you're so on point Americano! I will even follow your lead! Where did you get the dress from? Do they have anything for handsome blokes like yours truly or is it only for gorgeous Americanos?"Angelina giggled. "Nope. I'm sure there's something that could fit such a tall, handsome young Adonis! The boutique is just adjacent to this hot
The first time they kissed, Angelina was a complete novice who had never been kissed by any man before so she didn't immediately kiss him back until she became a bit more confident of herself but not this time around. This time around, she wasn't a novice anymore and so she knows exactly what she wants and what she wants to give back. So when he kissed her like a ravenous lion, she instantly responded with equal vigour; kissing him back passionately and unrestrainedly…They hungrily kissed each other like they've been starving for a very long time. As if that was just what they've been waiting for since aeons ago. Like it was what they've both been anxious for, but set it aside; storing it away in deep, dark recesses where it has grown into something voracious and out of control…As they ravenously devoured each other's lips, kissing like their lives depended on it; as if that was their source of oxygen, everything in the background completely faded, even the slow, romantic music that
The weeks and months passed by with a jet's speed, and just like that, it was already five months since Maxwell and Angelina got married. By now, the bond between her and Isabella had become so strong that she doesn't even want to think about the future when they would have to separate from each other whether they liked it or not. Afterall, hers and Maxwell's marriage is a contract one with an expiration date and every passing day is bringing them closer and closer to that expiration date.Thinking about that makes Angelina so sad and gloomy and hence, she doesn't even like to think of it. She easily gets attached and when she does, she finds it very, very difficult to let go. Just like her dear pet Honey and best friend Alicia. She had gotten so attached to them that when Jeremy sought her help, she had given him the condition that it was only if the two of them come with her. And now, she had gotten quite attached to Isabella and she knew without any iota of doubt that when the time
Just like the other time, Angelina received a warm reception at the company she had worked in while disguised as the CEO's little man once upon a time. But unlike the previous visit, this time around she didn't stop to reminisce about the good old times she worked there as she had come here on a mission that required prompt action.When she got to the thirtieth floor, she didn't even stop to look at the decorations which were her handiwork as she headed straight to Mr. Bentley's office. Seeing her, he quickly got up and respectfully greeted her. "Good morning Mrs. Gal…I mean, Mrs. M.J. It's a pleasure to have you here." "It's a pleasure to see you too Aaron. Hope my husband is on seat? I need to see him now!"Mr. Bentley frowned. How on earth did the boss's wife know his first name? However, Angelina was too worried to realize her slip of tongue. All she cared about at the moment is talking to Maxwell so he could fire the betrayer's ass as soon as possible! "I'm sorry
All of a sudden, Angelina felt herself being roughly shoved away. She gasped at the sudden, unexpected action while staggering from the impact. Luckily, she was just lightly pushed away, without much force so she didn't fall or accidentally hit anything.With widened eyes, she looked up at the culprit, who was also looking at her with an aloof, cold and indifferent expression on his face. "Rehearsal time is over. Now back to reality. What makes you think you can barge in here and say what you feel like about my trusted employee and expect to be believed?"Angelina had never been more stunned in her life. She just couldn't believe her ears or eyes. All that…what he just did to her— pulling her into his arms, nuzzling his face into her hair, hugging her tightly and calling her his little man, were all just part of play acting?! He was just having a rehearsal?! Unbelievable!!But whether or not she found it hard to believe, the evidence was right there in front of her— he's now bac
