Chapter 20

Max made sure the burial was as quiet as possible, he invited less people to mourn his father. It was all over the news, and relatives and friends sent their condolences and grieved with them.

Two weeks after the burial, Max decided to visit his Mum. Only to meet the greatest shock of his life.

She was sleeping with another man on her matrimonial bed leaving Max angry and confused.

He drags the young man sleeping with his mother, throwing punches at him until he bled.

"Max, that's enough, just let him go..please", Beatrice said to him as she help the duvet closer to herself.

"Mom, is this how to mourn your husband?, It's not even up to a month and you're back to your old ways. I'll make sure Dad never forgives you, even in his grave, I'm disappointed in you.

"Max, that's not it, i can't help it, i just need to satis....",

"You need to what?, At least have some respect for your late husband, this isn't the first time you're doing this, i warned you before, but you'll never listen.

Mum, let this be the last time I see you on your matrimonial bed with another man or else, I quit being your son and one more thing, I'll kill myself!". Max said with sincerity and anger.

"No...no... Max, you can't do this, I'm sorry. Fine, I'll change i promise to change, I'll do what you want, don't leave me. I'm sorry", she said with tears in her eyes.

Max left her for his office.

It was a new day for office activities and for the workers to resume. It was going to be a long day, he thought and sighed.

Oh, he hadn't seen Amelia for about a week since she badged the deal on her business trip. He was proud of her, no one could do better. She should be in the office today.

He hurriedly went to his office, he called for her but she wasn't around.

What could have happened?

It was noon, she should have called if she knew she wouldn't be coming. What insolence!

I called her, but it wasn't going through.

I had to leave a text message.

"Amelia, You should have called if you weren't coming today. Meet me at Shearl Hotel, by 6, we have a lot to cover, and i couldn't do most of them because you were not around."

************

Amelia read the text immediately she received it, she had so much to drink the previous night, she had slept off and woke up very late. Now her boss needed her, how would she even face him?, This was making her go crazy.

I had 30 minutes to get ready, since it's just a meeting, i wore a shirt and a short flair skirt, my makeup wasn't leftout, my mascara and liner fitted perfectly.

I arrived at the hotel and he had sent me a message.

"Room 202, that's where I am, we would be having the meeting there",

I read the text all over again, why did he have to bring me to his hotel?, I hurriedly went to the said room.

He opened the door with a smile, and i went in with her head bowed down.

"Good evening sir, I'm so sorry i couldn't come to work and I'm sorry i didn't call, I'm really sorry sir", i said faking a sad face.

"And why didn't you come?, Why were you not able to call either?", He asked looking directly into my eyes, sending shivers down my spine.

I didn't know what to say, i was scared, my boss could be crazy sometimes, he was staring at me and standing close to me than ever. I could only focus on his hair and his eyes, he was awesome!

"I'm waiting for an answer", he said again. I coupditell him i woke up late because i had too much to drink the previous night, this was really scary. I just had to say something.

"Well, i....i.....ehm.....i was sick and i went to the hospital, i should have informed you but I.....i....forgot", i said with a shaky voice and kept looking down, one would easily know i was lying.

"Hmmm.... You went to the hospital?, You", he said staring at me, but i couldn't look at him back, he was acting weird.

"Why are you lying?, You definitely don't look like someone who is sick.

You look like someone that fell asleep and woke up late, Am i right?"

He said looking at me

"Well, I...i... Yes you're right, is that okay?" I said giving up completely, since he knew the answer, he didn't have to ask, i had hissed and he stared at me again, making me hold my breath, he didn't know what he was doing to me. I had to leave this place fast if he keeps doing this.

"Sir, how about the work you told me about, you said there was a lot to do, we should start as..."

I wasn't finished with my words when he grabbed me and pushed me towards the wall, he went for my lips immediately, what was he doing?, This was unlike him, but i gave in because i also needed this.

"Why did you have to do this to me?, Do you have to be this pretty", he said as he kept kissing me.

We made it intense, giving room for us to breath out, our tongues intertwined, and our lips wanted more of each other.

He pushed me to the king sized bed in the hotel, flinging each other's clothes aside.

Did my boss really want to do this?, I was lost in its ecstasy, i wanted more of him, he started my sucking my boobs and fingering me, i didn't know if i was doing the right thing, it was my first time, i was moaning a bit.

I had crushed on him from afar all this years, and now he was about making love to me, should we give it a chance?

He was about thrusting into me, when i stopped him, i wasn't ready for this.

"I'm not ready for this", i whispered in his ears making him stop.

"I've not done this before ", i said and his eyes went wide open, he got off me immediately.

"I want to do this with someone that really loves me, and I'm not sure you do, you're my boss, i...i..."

"It's fine, i made a mistake, i underestimated you, I'm really sorry about this" he said to me .

I went to the bathroom to put on my clothes, i wasn't aware i could do something like that.

I really wanted this, but he would be having a baby soon, i couldn't risk it.

Did he call me to the hotel to sleep with me because he needed it or my dress made him do it.

A lot of questions were going though my mind.

"Here, this are the documents i need you to check, The company wants to partner with us, but I'll have you read the proposal, Once again I'm really sorry for what happened today" he said with a smile.

He was putting on his boxer, gosh i was drooling again.

"I'll have to leave now Sir", i said and ran out.

I headed towards my house immediately, i didn't even know what to think off, i didn't know how to face him anymore. It would be pretty weird from tomorrow. I shouldn't have stopped him, but i was quite scared, i heard the first time is always painful, i wasn't ready for such pain.

Max didn't know the reason he almost did that. Was he attracted to her also?, Gosh, it would be akward meeting her again. She was a really nice person, but he had done something she may never forgive him for.

Why did she have to dress so beautiful in the first place, This was making me go crazy.

The bell sounds again, could she be back?, I opened the door and i saw Cecilia, what was she even doing here?

Damn i was in my boxers, this witch was here again, i could have fired her a long time ago, but her services were needed. She was doing great in the designing department.

If she keeps hanging around, i may have her transferred to another place or I'll fire her.

She was dressed seductively as usual, she was wearing and armless flare gown, that barely covered her ass. I wasn't moved.

"What are you doing here?, I asked her and she didn't say a word.

But Cecilia had trailed Amelia, since she didn't come to work, she assumed Amelia would be meeting the boss.

But she was surprised seeing him on just his pants.

She pushed him and went inside the hotel room.

"Mr Max, i don't care if I'm fired this time, but i really want you", She said grabbing him, he pushed her away violently, making her land on the bed.

"Don't you like me, see", she said opening her legs so wide and dragging her clothesaking her boobs pop up, it was big no doubt, but Amelia's was bigger.

She was fingering herself, but the sight was disgusting, i wished i never had anything to do with her in the first place, a cheap bitch, that was what she was.

I dragged her outside, naked and threw her clothes at her.

I shouldn't have done that but i couldn't help it, she was annoying.

She cursed as she went out, she was lucky there was no one around.

I left the hotel and headed home.

**************

Alice was getting wilder as the day went on.

But she wasn't showing any pregnancy signs.

"Why are you just coming now?", She said as soon as Max came in.

"I had an important appointment" he replied like a fool.

Max was so confused about everything happening, he didn't have anyone to talk to. He was waiting for Thonio to come back from his business trip.

Alice had been acting weird, and controlling him as well, he couldn't take it anymore.

"And what appointment did you have, and who did you have it with?", She asked feigning ignorance.

"Do you have to know what and who?, Stop trying to act like my wife. You're just a surrogate.", he said angrily.

"And what if i act like your wife, i would be pregnant for you soon, it should have happened long ago, but the sperm wasn't enough to fertilize my egg, that's why we went to the hospital last week to re-do it, don't you remember?, You should try and be nicer to me, i may end up marrying you", she said with scorn and a wicked laugh.

It had been two months, just two months, and she is acting in this weird way, Bianca warned me, i should have just listened to her, what type of spoilt grown up woman is this?

She seems mentally ill, she laughs hysterically sometimes, when it isn't compulsory.

A lot was going on, but in all, i was glad my mum had stopped meeting those men, i had eyes on her, and they reported everything she does every now and then.

She is learning to be a great mother, and i hope she succeeds, my Late father would be glad i did this for him.

But what i really don't understand is my Dad didn't leave anything for Bianca when he died, how cruel.

Since then, Bianca has been avoiding me, she was made to work but she just wouldn't work, she wants to spend and lavish something she didn't work for, it was heartbreaking to see her that way.

But i was also in a big mess, and i wanted it to just end.

Recently i had been thinking of Amelia than i use to, i just had to admit i was falling for someone again, but it's so hard to admit that fact.

I didn't want to be used like before, Alice had changed so much, Amelia was mad at me, Cecilia was looking for a way to get to me, but i wouldn't let her, i couldn't let her.

***********

Beatrice had stopped meeting her admirers, she blocked them and when they wouldn't stop calling her, she had to change her phone.

She was starting all over again. Her late husband had left her one of his companies to take care of, she was glad she had something to do, and she did it with so much effort in making sure it becomes successful.

She was worried about Bianca who became worse right after the will was read by her husband's lawyer.

"Dad, you're cruel, why did you have to do this?, What did i do, and why did you do this to me?", She screamed that night.

Her wayward ways had increased, she was meeting more men and sleeping with them.

She had visited the married man severally at the hotel, she slept with him the number of times she went, they were now dating.

But she needed the money more than the man.

************

"Do you know how embarrassed i was yesterday, Max threw me out of the hotel naked, i did everything i could, i went naked right in front of him and did things i knew other men would want, but it didn't work on him, he was in a bad mood yesterday as well, maybe i came the wrong time" Cecilia said to Justin who kept staring at her.

"What should I do?, He hisn't interested in me", she asked him again.

"Well, i really don't know what to do about this, but you shouldn't give up if you really like him, but i like you, why wouldn't you look at me ", Justin said to her smacking his lips and hitting her ass.

"Justin, look, we need this money right?, I don't just like him without a reason, this is a money issue, he his my boss, i know how rich he his. He is one of the youngest billionaire in Amsterdam. Didn't you hear about this fiancee who ditched him in his wedding day. The real story was that she got some cash before leaving, and she made false statements because she didn't want him to come after her, and he didn't.", She replied him.

"And how did you know she made false reports?"

"Well, she is a close friend of mine, she didn't like him, she just wanted something out of him and she got millions, now she's living well, I'll meet her for help if you don't help me." Cecilia said in anger.

"Fine, I'll help, but you have to remove Amelia from Shearl Cooperation first, she is his personal secretary, and she knows a lot about him, she could be of help to you? What do you think." He asked

"Yeah, that's true tho, she has to lesve the company, i even saw her going into the Company hotel, she went to see him yesterday, i wonder what they were talking about. I'm so pissed" Cecilia said out if anger.

"Well, you'll have to nail something against her, use it to spoil her image, and don't make it obvious that you did it, if not, you'll spoil the whole plan and you'll get sacked instead, do you understand?" Justin asked her, staring into her eyes, and she understood the assignment immediately.

*********

"Bianca we need to talk, please",as said as he dragged her away from her friends.

"What do you want?, Are you here to sympathize with me as usual. There is nothing you can do about it. Dad abandoned me this time, he left nothing for me" She screamed in sadness

"It's alright sis, i can help you, you can start up something, i can give you money to start your own business, i....."

"Don't say anything anymore, in not interested in starting my own business, you sly"

She just couldn't help it, she couldn't believe her father would do that to her, even though she hadn't been the best daughter, but he shouldn't have done that to her, she was just nineteen, did he expects her to work at this age, even though she decided to stop school for reasons we can barely fathom.

"Bianca, just don't get mad at me, look at the times we use to spend together, didn't you love it?, Wasn't it fun?.

You can't decide to put an end to our relationship just because of dad's will.

I made my money myself, I'm not so interested in dad's will.

Dad just wants you to change, that's all" Max said with all sincerity, making her shed tears on his shoulder.

"Where is Thonio?", Bianca asked out of the blues which made Mike shocked.

"Well, he went on a business trip, he would be back tomorrow morning at 7pm, I'll be getting him, do you want to come along?", He asked out of curiousity

"Just because i asked of him doesn't mean i want to see him, why would I want to see him?", She asked and hissed.

"Well, why did you ask about him then?" He fired back

"It's been a while, he his always around you and i cant see him around you today, so I'm quite shocked", she said gently and he nodded.

"I'll follow you to the airport tomorrow, i want to see him", she said again and they both laughed.

"Oh and how about your so called surrogate, Alicia or whatever her name is, that witch." She asked out of concern.

"Oh, Alice, she is fine, though she's been acting weird", he said to her, he didn't want his sister to know she has been disrespectful to him.

"I knew it, that witch, she would always piss you off"she said in anger.

"Why do you hate her so much Bianca, did you meet her in your past life?", Max said with a cunny smile.

"Oh, i wish I saw her in my past life, I'll have killed her right there. She has this bad aura, that's why I don't just like her, nothing more, nothing less. Just like a gold digger. To be honest, the only person I like is Amelia!" She said with all sincerity.
