Chapter One

Maximilian's POV

The thought of yesterday's event flashed through my mind, making my headache worse, it was supposed to be the happiest day of my life, I was supposed to be married!, but right now, I'm more than miserable and nothing seems to be in my head, all I feel is emptiness and fear of losing someone I really love.

Amanda was someone I really loved and would do anything to make her happy, I feel better knowing that she revealed her true colours earlier.

But, right now I can't even leave my office alone like I used to do before, I am a billionaire but I hated attention which is killing me now. The whole country knows about the break up between my supposed fiancee, but right now they think of me has a bad person because Amanda left me by painting me bad in the eye of the people who I love and cherish so much.

Not only did she lie that I cheated on her, she also stole a huge some of money from me leaving me in shock and total horror.

I can't seem to control my thoughts, it keeps flowing which is making me go crazy. Being at work, I can't even concentrate, sipping my coffee with one hand, tapping my hands on the table with another, the feeling miserable.

Still thinking, I hear a knock on the door "Come in", I replied.

Amelia, my secretary walked in with her fitted dress, making her look gracious, did I forget to say she was beautiful!, Georgous is an understatement. "Sir, we have an issue", she said making me fret, "What would that be? Amelia", I had replied her.

"Some of your biggest fans have turned against you, they are outside the company, and are with signboards claiming you're a cheat and a rapist, I assume, your ex fiancee would be behind all of this. She wants you to lose your reputation by lying to the people. The protesters are cursing very loudly and claim they want to see you, they are saying all sort of things Sir, I suggest you do something as soon as possible.", She said leaving me in total shock!, I was confused and left in utter disarray.

Amelia's POV

It was a Friday morning, I had to take care of the things left in the office, the event of last night was something I never wanted to remember. My boss was humiliated in front of everyone, I wonder how bad he feels now, being jilted by someone you loved and had feelings for.

Being his personal secretary has taught me a lot of things, how to love and how to be diligent at work.

I didn't introduce myself yet, "I'm Amelia, a young school graduate who got the job of a personal secretary to a wealthy billionaire by luck. I live alone since my parents got involved in an accident whole I was a kid, and now I think I like my boss but im not ready to lose my job, so I'll have to hold on for a while".

I heard noise from outside, I looked through the window and saw a lot of people holding banners and protesting in anger. They were angry at the news of Mr Max, and his attempt to rape his own fiancee who left him yesterday, this was like my worst night mare. I went to his office to tell him what was happening. On getting there, I saw a glass of coffee shattered on the floor and his hands were bleeding, he saw this and tried hiding it.

"

"Sir, we have an issue", I said to him making him feet the more.

"Some of your biggest fans have turned against you, they are outside the company, and are with signboards claiming you're a cheat and a rapist, I assume, your ex fiancee would be behind all of this. She wants you to lose your reputation by lying to the people. The protesters are cursing very loudly and claim they want to see you, they are saying all sort of things Sir, I suggest you do something as soon as possible.", I said breathing heavily. I felt really bad and I'll do anything to help but right now, it seemed hopeless. "What!", he said making me shiver, he was pacing up and down the office like a mad man, running his hands through his hairaking him more handsome, I thought to myself with a smile. I really should stop thoughts like this from coming in situations like this, it was really a tough one for him and I know that.

We went downstairs and he addressed the angry mob slightly, "I would like to apologise", he said trying to make the atmosphere quiet, but it only became worse as they said all sort of things and started throwing things at me but he felt they were his last hope, if they believed him, they would make him feel better.

Shocked, I saw my boss put his head down in utter disarray and said "I know you all are mad at me, but I am the victim here", he said in tears as people began to wonder what happened to him. "What is wrong with him?", "What does he mean by he his the victim?", "Maybe this is another one of his lies,.we won't fall for it this time!", Someone said, "I don't think he his pretending, he looks like he his having a really hard time" another person replied making me feel at ease s little.

"You all are what I need right now, I was jilted!, and framed for doing what I didn't do, my ex fiancee even stole my money!", He said making the crowd shout , "Aaaargh" they said in unison, "So why did she lie about everything then?", Someone from the crowd asked, "Maybe she was jealous", another person replied. This responses made my heart leap for joy. "She wanted to faint my reputation and have you all hate me. To those that still feel disappointed in me, I'm really sorry and I don't want you all to lose trust in me" he said with tears in his eyes.

I looked at the crowd and also saw them crying, it was a moment of sadness and joy, the crowd cheered him on and all left with smiles on their faces.

With that being settled, I could finally focus on work.

I decided to get Mr Max a cup of coffee to make him feel at ease. Walking into his office, I got the greatest shock of my life.
