71Felicity POV."Yes, Maximus," I said, smiling at him. "He saved my life.""Did he-" Kyle started to say.But I cut him off, "Maximus saved me, he didn't hurt me."Their relief was palpable and they both let out a sigh. But I knew they still had their reservations about him, especially after everything that had happened.The others were placed there, uncomfortable not understanding anything ."Feli! What happened?" , Kyle asked, her voice sounding full of concern.Maximus cleared his throat, and spoke in a deep, authoritative voice. "I'm sorry for how I treated Felicity. I was wrong. I want to make it up to her and start over. I hope you can all forgive me."Ava and Kyle stared in disbelief. "But...you abused her and treat her poorly," Kyle said.I stepped forward, placing a hand on Maximus's arm. "He's changed, and I believe him," I said firmly.Ava looked torn, chewing on her bottom lip. "I don't know what to think."Maximus remained calm, his jaw set. "I understand that it will t

73Felicity POV.I had just emerged from a relaxing bath, wrapped in a warm towel, looking for what to wear in my closet to seduce Maximus, when I heard a knock at my door. "Who is it?" I called out, puzzled by the unexpected interruption. "It's Adrian," came the reply, and my heart skipped a beat. Why would he be coming to see me now, in my vulnerable state? "Come in," I said, hesitantly, and watched as Adrian stepped into the room. He looked anxious, almost troubled, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding wash over me. "What's wrong, Adrian?" I asked, backing away from him slightly. He came closer, his eyes fixed on mine, and I swallowed hard. "There's something I've wanted to tell you since the first moment I saw you," he said, his voice low and urgent. I frowned, confused and wary. "What is it?" Adrian reached out to smooth a lock of hair from my face, and I took another step back. "I... I love you, Felicity," he said, the words coming out in a rush. "I have fo

75Maximus POV.Afterward, I lay there, breathless and satisfied, looking out at the stars through the open window. Felicity turned to me ." Promise me something maximus," she said after a few minutes."What is it?" I asked, rolling over to face her."Promise me that you'll always be honest with me, no matter what," she said. "I need to know that I can trust you completely.""I promise," I said, taking her hand. "I will always be honest with you, Feli, no matter how hard it may be. You deserve nothing less than the truth.""Thank you, Maximus," she said, leaning in to kiss me. "I love you so much.""I love you too, Feli," I said, pulling her close. "Forever and always."As we lay there, the weight of the promise I made to Felicity hit me. Being honest was not always easy, but it was necessary for a healthy relationship. I vowed to keep my promise and always communicate openly with her.Felicity was my everything, and I never wanted to lose her. We had been through so much together,

77Felicity POV."What? That can't be true," I said, shaking my head in disbelief."Ava, what are you talking about?" I said, incredulous.Kyle cut in, his tone sharp, "She means that Maximus is the son of the one who killed our parents."I felt like the wind had been knocked out of me. Maximus, my love, the father of my child, the man I had trusted more than anyone else in the world, was connected to my parent's death? It was too much to comprehend. "I'm sorry, Feli. I didn't know how to tell you. I was afraid of what you might do if you found out," Ava said, tears falling down her cheeks. "I thought it would destroy you.""How could you keep this from me?" I asked, hurt and angry."I'm sorry, Feli," Ava said, her voice choked with tears. "I never meant to hurt you.""You had no right to keep this from me," I said, my voice rising. "What else have you been hiding from me?""I just wanted to protect you," Ava interjected."Protect me? By lying to me?" I said, shaking my head in disbe

79Maximus POVAs I walked out of the room, I could feel my heart breaking into a million pieces. How could Felicity accuse me of something like that? I loved her, and I would never keep something like that from her.I hated myself for slapping him, I got so angry I was so angryI stood outside the door, trying to compose myself. I didn't want to leave things like this between us. I knew I had to talk to her and make her understand that I was innocent.I couldn't abandon my son, I didn't know him when he was born, I didn't want to abandon Felicity anymore, I didn't want to make the same mistake a second time.

No i should go back with felicity and our baby.I couldn't shake off the feeling of doubt and fear that was creeping in. What if Felicity refused to hear my side of the story? What if sh
