Mad Max Our Daily Bread Novels & Stories

"Peanuts... You put peanut butter in the cake..." Felix asked in disbelief, "You know Maeve is allergic to peanuts, yet you deliberately added peanuts to the cake. Do you want to kill her?" Jasper looked at me as if he wanted to kill me. "What? How could I have such a vicious mother? Ms. Leighton likes you. We even asked you to make a cake and deliver it here, but you want to hurt her! If something happens to Ms. Leighton, I'll never call you 'Mom' again!"

"Your ex-husband's employees are not fully aware that there is no need to demolish my cafe entirely. I burst into tears after hearing that from them. I can still continue with my business, Serena!!" I bet she's dancing on her own again with a background in Korean music from BTS. "Hmm, that's good news then." I'm grateful that Marcus's fulfilled his promise. Deep inside, I know Marcus wouldn't do such a thing. He's just using that to threaten me. But even though I know in my heart he won't do things that might break my heart, he still has the power to do things. That's what I'm afraid of. "Of course, that's why there's a 50% discount on all coffee and snacks today."

"Don't just sit on your ass, go and help your mother." I smile as Xavier strides over to help me. I pat him on the back in thanks as he reaches for the plates and brings them to the table. We all sit together, the clatter of forks and plates mixing with the soft murmur of conversation. Steam rises from the spaghetti but I barely notice it. My eyes wander over my family, taking in the effortless ease of being together. I'm the luckiest woman alive. I’m loved in ways I never imagined, cherished in ways I never deserved, and I am forever Their Beautiful Madness—the wild, sacred chaos of two souls who made their home in mine.

“Tell me, what have you boys been up to? Brett has clearly pissed off Cade so bad that he is going to murder her.” Beau and Hayden laughed. “She really has him in a twist.” Beau nodded. “This is a whole new level. Since you aren’t there to keep her away from him, she hasn’t left his ear.” Hayden rolled his eyes. “I hope whoever his mate is can keep her in check. Brett is a force.” I laughed. “I bet she will be okay.” Maddox came back with a plate of fried pickles. Cade laid down a plate of cheesy breadsticks with a large cup of ranch. “Eat up.”

"Yes . He works too hard. Its his body telling him to take a bit of a break ." "I was scared. " " That makes two of us . You are not alone on this okay." Max held me closer . " That's good to know .

He adjusted his glasses, “Dr. Nebrough told me you've handled similar cases before. I’ve seen your proposals…” He gestured at the proposal Anise had pulled several all-nighters drafting last week and continued, “Just keep going in the same direction here.” She was beginning to understand why Liam insisted she apply for this position. She saw her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes were shining radiantly with a captivating glow. “Miss Buccaneer, your takeout is here.” The security guard entered with a bag labelled “Rodger's Porridge.” It was a lobster porridge with a helping of braised prawn, exactly how she liked it.

Bri asked. “Don’t worry about it. A will not sacrifice me or Troy, so put those fears to rest. Here, I brought you some good food this morning, and a double shot of espresso. You drink that right?” Misha smiled, wrinkling her nose. “Hell yeah! I haven’t had one since before I was so rudely taken.” Bri snapped. “I have some news from the outside world if you care to hear it?” Misha asked. “Sure, why not? Its not like I’m going anywhere near the outside.” Bri replied sipping her espresso.

“Ma’am? Mrs. Gray...what’s wrong?” Marcie didn’t answer. She couldn’t. Her throat was too tight while her lungs were refusing to draw in enough air. Her hands trembled around the box of cookies, the ribbon cutting into her fingers as if it were mocking her. She had come here to apologize. To smooth over something small. To bring sweetness into his day. How stupid. How unbearably stupid. The hallway blurred as she walked faster, almost running. Her heels clicked too loudly against the carpet. Behind her, she could hear the receptionist’s hurried footsteps, and the anxious softness in her voice.

Dario breathed a sigh of relief, rubbing his face as he felt the headache coming from getting up and moving too fast. His steps were soft as he leaned by the doorway, gazing at Madeline who was quietly eating her bacon and eggs in her plate. A white one, different from her usual princess plates and cup. He didn't need to hear it from her that she was in her big space today. She wasn't a little today. Hop and Neil were by the kitchen, but they weren't anywhere near Madeline. They were talking to her in a safe distance where she'd feel comfortable, just enough to let her breath.

Felicia didn’t bother answering him but continued walking. They arrived at where they camped and to their surprised everyone has eaten or was already eating something. “what’s happening how did you all get food?” Joshua asked on surprise. Baji was surprised as well but Joshua beat him to the question. “that will be thanks to me” Damien said as he smiled complacently, answering the question. “Damien and his group found a farm nearby and was able to bring back loafs of fruits back for everyone.” Sofia said after she approached Baji’s group.
