I Am An Illegitimate Child With A Legitimate Reason For Revenge-Chapter 208: ... Do you love me?

After that incident, the people who had proposed marriage to the Winston family in order to get connected to them all withdrew for one reason or the other.

Maxwell was the man behind the scenes of course and it seemed he had gotten very attached to Paige.

Her mood always affected his thinking and so she decided it was time to start his treatment.

Maxwell happily accepted to get treatment as long as it was done by her. This was an opportunity to get her to know him more intensively and they would spend time together.

"Focus, Max." Paige said, hitting her book with her pen.

"Where were we?" Maxwell asked and Paige shook her head. She looked at her hand in his and thought maybe it was a bad idea to have physical contact while conducting this therapy session.

"When was the last time you felt angry?" She asked him and he thought back.

"Last week." She answered and though she had her suspicions as to why he got angry, she asked,

"What happened?"

"There was this bastard who grabbed your ass. I got mad and broke his arm." Maxwell narrated and Paige nodded. That guy was still in the hospital thanks to that and he had no way of filing a report because he was the one who groped her first.

"And most times, you’re happy, because...?"

"Paige is happy." He said and once again, Paige sighed.

It was discovered that Maxwell had psychosis. It was as a result of the drugs given to him at an early age to avoid him from developing the same illness that took the life of his older siblings.

These features did not show while he was younger but as he grew he got an obsession that became the driving force of his madness. It was like he needed someone for him to actually take out his obsession on.

And surely, he got it. Paige became his obsession and it seemed to get worse by the day.

She feared that he would end up killing someone for her sake.

’It doesn’t seem like he will do anything bad if I am safe and happy.’ Paige thought. ’And he seems to have gotten clingy these days.’

"So, what are your plans tonight?" Maxwell asked. "Would you like to go with me to an auction I was invited to? There will be a lot of rare items on display and I’m sure something will catch your eye."

"Maxwell, we’re still having the session." Paige reminded him.

"Oh, right. Then I’ll ask you again once we’re done here." He snickered and Paige shook her head.

"Maxwell, I want to ask you something." Paige began and put down her notebook as well as her pen. "When you see me get mad or when someone does an injustice towards me, is it possible for you to turn a blind eye to it?"

"No." Maxwell immediately answered.

"Why is that?"

"You getting angry is the same thing as me getting angry. If someone does an injustice to you, I’d feel offended because it would feel like they were actually doing it to me too. You... when I look at you, I feel your everything is my everything." He lightly clenched her hand. "Is that a bad thing? I want to protect you with all I have. I don’t want to see you sour or angry. Even if it were an insect that did you wrong, I would make sure to crush that insect. That is how I feel."

Paige was silent. Each time she asked, he always managed to come up with a new definition of his obsession. It was a healthy obsession compared to others but it was still an obsession so it wasn’t exactly advisable to keep at it.

He was his own person. It wasn’t fair that he lived on the feelings and movements of another.

"Maxwell," she called him and looked into his eyes.

Then, she found herself wondering if all that he was feeling were just his obsessions at work.

He stated that he would do anything for her so what if that was because of something else and not an obsession.

"... Do you love me?" She asked him and his eyes widened.

He looked aside as his face secretly flushed. He told himself he would never admit to it but since Paige was asking, he didn’t want to lie to her.

"First, do you know what love is?" She asked him and he looked at her.

"Love... is sweet." He simply said and smiled brightly.

That simple definition was enough to convince Paige that he was indeed aware of the word called ’love’.

"So, do you love me?" She asked him and he drew closer to her. He took her hand and drew it to his mouth.

"Yes." He answered and kissed it. "I love you."

Paige got lost in his smile and before she knew it, she was leaning in to kiss him. Maxwell did not expect her to make the first move but since she did, who was he to refute?

He kissed back and moved his hand across her body, through her hair. The kiss was a lot heated than he thought and Paige was already trying to get his shirt off.

"Wait, Paige." He called but she grabbed his hand and said,

"Don’t interrupt me." She pushed him down and got on top of him, resuming the kiss from where they left off.

She succeeded in taking off his shirt and then took hers off. Maxwell was surprised that this was going on in the office where she worked.

Was the door locked? He didn’t want someone to walk in and then spread rumors. Maybe this time, he would kill whoever dared to do it.

"Focus." Paige grabbed his chin. "I’m right in front of you so what else could you be looking for?" She asked.

Her face was flushed. He could tell that she was aroused but he just had to go ahead and ask,

"Why are you doing this?"

"What?"

"Are you doing this because I confessed that I love you? Will you say something like, ’it’s my body you want so I’ll give it to you and be done with this?’. Will you tell me to bury my feelings?" He asked with steady and firm pupils.

Paige who listens to all that was at a loss for words and generally confused.

"Eh?"

Paige, on top of Maxwell, stared at him as he bit his lips like a kid who had been offended and was demanding candy.

His words... she never thought of it like that but given how she suddenly jumped him, he might feel a bit insecure and asked just to be sure he wasn’t selling his chances to be with her with this one time thing.

"Maxwell, you can be so... " she shook her head and grinned. "When did you become so pure?"

"It’s because you’re capable of saying such a thing." Maxwell said and grabbed her hand. "I already told you I love you and I am sure of my feelings. It’s not something I am unsure of. I tried to deny it as well but when you asked, I thought I couldn’t deny it any longer."

Paige stared. There were tears in Maxwell’s eyes. Wait, was she the reason he was crying? How did she do it? How did she make a grown man cry?

"Now, now, I wasn’t going to say anything like that." She said and brushed off the tears that were gradually rolling down the corner of his eyes. "Why would I say such a mean thing? Though I know you’re obsessed with me, I can’t help but realize that you also have genuine feelings for me." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Really?" He asked and she nodded.

"Of course." She said, "And since your feelings are genuine and won’t change any time soon, I knew that I could do this. Besides..." she leaned down and whispered in his ear. "I told you this before but I want you. I want to have sex with you." She raised her body to sit up on him. "You had your chance before. You’re the one who didn’t... whoa." She exclaimed with wide eyes as Maxwell switched positions with her and was now on top.

"Do you mean it?" He asked her, his eyes flaring with a sudden desire. "You won’t abandon me once we’ve done this, will you?"

"Now, abandon is a really strong word but it’ll depend on how well you perform." She grinned and this set as a go-ahead signal for Maxwell to do as he pleased with her.

He took down her skirt, as well as her panties while undoing her bra.

"Hm." She moaned softly while Maxwell kneaded her breasts. He was actually rather rough and she wondered if this was his first time handling a woman.

Well, she wanted to believe otherwise. She had been with a few guys, just flings though, so she couldn’t tell herself that he was still a virgin.

Maxwell removed one of his hands from her breasts and moved it to her netherregion, preparing her entrance for what was to come.

"Slowly." She muttered while gripping his arm but he was out of control and kept twirling his fingers inside her till she was about to reach her climax but then he stopped. "Maxwell, you..." her eyes widened as he took off his pants and revealed his huge member.

Well, she had always had her suspicions about how big he was down there and this was beyond her expectations. Plus, just looking at it, she felt a bit... hesitant.

"I’m going in." He said and gazed up at her with hungry eyes. She gulped. There was no need to ask if he would be gentle because from the looks of it, he would definitely ravage her like a beast in heat. "I’ll perform to my very best." He said and shoved the tip of his member inside her entrance.
