Maxwell round up a meeting and was about to step out when Ella burst into his office.
“Hey!” she yelled, and he looked at her.
“Why did you burst into my office like that?”
“When do you plan to tell me about the new investor?”
“Mr. Josh told you?”
“You must’ve really planned to keep it from me,”
“It’s not like that. I just want…”
“You just want what?! We already talked about this. We can’t trust anyone yet so we can’t accept any investors for now until some things are resolved,”
“And until when is that?!”
“Maxwell…”
“Ella, I didn’t plan to keep this from you. But just as I kept the new investment from you, I also kept the company’s struggles from you. If we don’t accept this investment, we will face bankruptcy. Do you get that?”
“So you trust this new investor?”
“Mr. Josh did a background check. Ms. Sandra Kim. She is a Chinese-American,”
“Is that all?”
“I’ll email you the rest. Ella, trust me on this one,”
“How much is she willing to invest?”
“Fifty percent,”
“Fifty percent?!”
“It’s a huge investment, that’s why I’m taking a lot of caution, but she is real,”
“Why would she want to invest that in our company?”
“Because she trusts us. We shouldn’t worry about her intentions,”
“Have you met her?”
“No. She is currently in Japan, we communicate through her advisors,”
“When are you planning to me about this?”
“When it’s a done deal,”
“You were going to hide it from me till you seal the deal?”
“I want to take this bold step and prove myself to you, I want to prove to you that I’m worthy of all of this, worthy of the company, and worthy of your love,” he said, and kissed her.
She broke the kiss and smiled softly. “I don’t get swayed by sweet words, Maxwell, I’m not Violet,”
“I know. And I love you, because you’re not Violet,”
“And I chose you because you’re obedient. I choose you as my hand to get everything I desire, and I did that not because I thought you were competent, but because I want you to prove anything to me, understood?” she said, and he made a fist, forcing a smile.
“I know. You don’t have to hurt my pride. You might have chose me, because I was obedient, but I’m not the same Maxwell anymore. I have a name now, and Martins’ Enterprises is for the both of us,” he said, and embraced her.
She pulled away from the embrace and placed a kiss on his lips before leaving, and he returned to his seat, remembering how he got entangled in everything.

FLASHBACK to when Ella and Maxwell were in freshman year in college***
*
Ella came out of the bathroom fully dressed and looked at Maxwell who was still lying nak£d on the bed engrossed on his phone.
“I’ll leave first,” Ella said
“Brian and Naomi were nominated for freshman couples,”
“Good for them,”
“While we are here hiding our relationship,”
“Maxwell, we already talked about this,”
“Others knowing about us wili make you feel uncomfortable because we are course mate and so on. I heard enough of that. I really love you, Ella It didn’t start now, I have loved you for a long time,”
“When I volunteer at the orphanage and all, I heard it all, and I know that you love me that’s why I want to end this as well,”
“Should we make it public? I can’t wait to flaunt to the whole school,”
“We should break up,”
“What? Did I do something wrong? Why? Because I want us to make it public?”
“No. Instead, you should be with Violet,”
“Why should I leave you and go to your friend? I don’t understand you,”
“Maxwell, Violet is better than me. I’m just leaching off her family, she is the Holt, her family are the ones who donated at the orphanage and sponsoring your scholarship. She is the good one, not me. She is the real catch,”
“I don’t care! I don’t care about her family or whoever is sponsoring me. I don’t love her, you’re the one I love,”
“Then do it for me, if you truly love me,”
“What? Ella, what’s wrong with you? Don’t do this. We can continue meeting in secret if that’s what you want, but don’t break us up,”
“Then you should be with Violet,”
“Ella! Why are you doing this exactly? Violet don’t even love me neither do I,”
“She does. She has a slight crush so you have to grab it before it pass. I can make her fall for you. I’m her best friend, I know her better. You will get a fortune if you chose Violet,”
“I don’t care! I don’t care about how she feels or whatever I get. You’re the one I want, don’t push me away,”
“That’s the problem with you, Maxwell! You don’t just get it. People like us, it’s not a matter of what we want, what matters is what we will get. I want you to help me get back everything from them,”
“What are you talking about?”
“I’ll tell you if you give in. Olivia is throwing a pool party, you should be there and approach Violet. Make her fall harder for you, and when I see your effort, I’ll get back to you,” with that, she carried her bag.
“And us? What will happen to us?”
“Each time you meet with Violet, we can always meet up like now. We don’t have to breakup if you behave,”
“You want me to two-time you and your friend? For what reason?”
“I’ll tell you when the time is right. It’s either you give in to that, or we break up for good. That’s your choice,” having said that, she kissed him and left.
He exhaled heavily after she took the exit and message beeped into his phone.
💬*Hi, this is Violet. I apologize for texting you out of the blue, but it’s kinda urgent. Concerning Professor Lucas study guide, a friend told me you have it, and I also heard that you will be at Olivia’s party tomorrow, can we talk more about it at the party? * it reads, and he put the phone away.
“Why is she doing this to me?!” he yelled in frustration.
*
He went to the party the following day because Ella didn’t stop pestering him, and upon getting there, she approached him immediately.
“Have a drink,” Ella said, and gave him a glass of wine.
“What’s this about? Why did you force me to be here?” he asked
“At least empty the glass of wine,” she said, and he emptied it in a single gulp.
“Why did you make me come here?”
“Because Violet wants a word with you,”
“I’m not doing it. There should be another way to save our relationship,”
“Yeah, I wasn’t thinking straight last night. I’m sorry, but that’s not what I want,”
“What then?”
“About the professor’s study guide…”
“I already sent it to her,”
“I know. She told me but she wants a word. She is upstairs, you should go,”
“Why would I?”
“Just have a word with her for me. Please… she is my best friend, don’t hurt her pride. Please…” she said, holding his hands.
“Just this once,”
“Thank you,”
*
He went upstairs and started hearing screams, he ran to the room and slugged the door opened to see a guy trying to force himself on Violet.
He engaged in a fight with the guy until the guy ran away and Violet cuddled herself with the blanket.
“Are you ok?” he asked going closer to her and she embraced him.
“I’m so scared,” she winched.
“You’re safe now,” he muttered, patting her back.
“You should go out for some fresh air,”
“I can’t, I’m so not. I think something was added to my drink,”
“More reasons why you need the fresh air,”
“I should call Ella. Just until my friend comes, please stay with me,” she said, and he nodded.
Her phone slipped off her hands as she tried to dial the number and he started feeling hot as he sat next to her.
“What’s happening to me?” he thought. “I can’t wait here,” he said, and stood up to leave but she dragged him back.
“I’m hot, can you keep me warm?” she muttered, and he couldn’t control his desire.
*
They woke up the following morning after making out all night until they passed out, and they saw few people in the room looking at them in shock.
“Wow. So you are the secret couples. I knew it,” a girl said.
“Come on, this is nothing new. They hid thier relationship, and now they are bursted. Some privacy will do,” Ella said, and everyone dismissed.
“What? Secret couples?” Violet said.
“Ella… I…” Maxwell grumbled.
“Come on, that’s the only way I can bail you two. You can say you breakup later. A night stand is nothing new, but they will make a fuss over it. So flow along for now. Who would have thought you disappeared with him,”
“That’s not true. It was Derick, we were together and he tried to force himself on me. Maxwell saved me,”
“Oh, and you ended up in his bed,” Ella teased.
“Stop saying it that way! You know I’m not that type of a person. I don’t know what happened. Derick must’ve drugged my drink or something,”
“Excuse me,” with that, Maxwell went to the bathroom.
“I know. I trust you. Thank goodness it was Maxwell, it would’ve been worse. Who would have thought Derick was a jerk? I shouldn’t have convinced you to entertain him,” l
“Don’t blame yourself. But what do I do about the rumor? Maxwell and I…”
“Shhh… he saved you, so you can at least be friends with him. Tell others you breakup later, you don’t have to be mean to him,” she said, and embraced her smirking evilly.
*
Maxwell met with Ella later at thier regular hangout and she slapped him.
“You pretended like you aren’t interested. But, what? You slept with her? Did you like her all along? You took advantage of my drunk friend,”
“That’s not true. I didn’t know what happened to me… I…”
“Yes. You were drunk from a glass of wine and slept with her. You did well, but we’re OVER!”
“Why did you made that up? That secret relationship, I know it’s your doing,”
“How do you expect me to coverup the shame of my boyfriend sleeping with my best friend at a party? You took advantage of her and cheated on me! You should have just accepted my offer, maybe that would’ve been better,”
“That was what I was doing,”
“What?”
“I mean… I was… I was— I was only following your plan. I don’t want us to breakup, I’ll do it. I’ll be with her. I don’t know what you’re planning but I don’t want us to breakup,”
“You must really have a nice night. You can’t wait to have more of her,”
“That’s not it!”
“Fine. Let’s see how far you go, and we will discuss later. Hold Violet while you can, this is your chance to repair our relationship,” having said that, she kissed him before leaving.
He exhaled heavily and sat down in frustration.
“What’s this? Why is she doing this to me? Why?!” he cried, and a message beeped into his phone from Violet.
💬*I apologize for putting you in a difficult situation when you did nothing but helped me. Can we meet tomorrow before class? I’ll be at school early* it reads.
💬*Sure* he texted back and put the phone away.

FLASHBACK ENDS***

Maxwell ran his hand through his hair, and clenched his fist.
“You’re mistaken Ella, I’m no longer that obedient boy that loved you. Now, what I love is Martins’ Enterprise,” he muttered, with clenched teeth.

Charles went downstairs and was surprised to see Carolyn and Violet chattering in the living room.
“Wow. Besties, or what?” Charles said making his presence known and they both looked at her.
“Mr. Charles, good morning,”
“Charles, will do. We are all temporary roommates, so we should be comfortable with each other,”
“That’s the spirt,” Violet teased, and he glared at her.
“You two are really getting along,” Charles grumbled, and Violet laughed.
“Are you jealous?” Violet teased, and he scoffed.
“Carolyn, Mr. Feng will give you a ride to school,”
“I’ll be fine, I can take the bus,”
“I know. And I’m not offering it out of charity, your safety is also my priority, that’s why you’re here to begin with. So just accept it,”
“Must you be so blunt? We will accept it,” Violet said.
“We? You don’t even need the ride yiy can alway help yourself it’s not like the targets can get you,”
“Carolyn and I made a deal,”
“Behind my back? Oh, let’s hear it,”
“I can possess Carolyn’s body whenever I want to,”
“And leave by what means? Will it be the escalator or another accident?”
“Mind your own business, we’re gonna figure it out ourselves,” she teased, and intend to wave but he held her back.
“Don’t act rashly, don’t do what you will regret,”
“Good news, guys,” they heard Jayden said, appearing in the room and Charles released Violet immediately.
“What’s this awkward atmosphere about?” Jayden asked, and Charles glared at him.
“Split whatever you have to say,”Charles snapped.
“I managed to get the truck driver arrested,”
“Really?” Violet shouted, and Charles opened his mouth agape.
“But we have to wait for him to confess,”
“Can’t you make him do that?” Charles asked.
“No. He will need to provide evidence that can point at those behind this for his testimony to be authentic so we have to wait for him to put himself together,”
“That’s good news. Thank you,” Violet said, and embraced him.
“I also deserve a hug, I have been doing a lot of work here,” Charles said and pulled her away from Jayden into his embrace leaving them all in shook while Jayden chuckled.
