Chapter 2

  • Maxwell was not the romantic type but he would try to be for her so after some days of chatting over the phone, he decided to visit her again, he bought a bunch of flowers and carried them with him to her house. He knocked and waited for some minutes but no one was opening the door, he then remembered that his woman could not hear the knock so he texted her and after a while she opened the door, he on seeing him standing there grinning with flowers in his hands, the scene was breath taking, she smiled when he stretched his hands handing her the flowers, she received then and ushered him in the house, he came in and she made him a cup of coffee, she also made herself one and they drank silently, she was feeling overjoyed, she had come across guys who were interested in her but the moment they noticed her indifference they would just disappear into thin air and she would be left feeling bad, this lowered her self esteem, she had thought and decided to stay alone since that was when she will be at peace even though she would feel lonely at times, but then this man was different, instead of going away, he found a way of talking to her and that was enough to flatter her heart.
  • She looked at him differently and he could feel that the way she looked at him had changed over the days, she was getting charmed by him, he liked the thought of that, he did not leave that day , he stayed in for lunch and later in the evening they went out for shopping, he bought her several things which she was grateful for and thanked him so much , the things were expensive and she kept complaining but he didn't mind her , he just bought whatever she liked , he had not told her who he was and that was why she was afraid of him spending so much, he liked that too , she was worried he would waste money, this was contrary to his past girlfriends who did not mind how much he spent as long as they got what they wanted.
  • After shopping they went home and after dropping her he went back to his hotel room, through their Small talks he had realized that she came from the same country as him and that was pretty good, they continued going out for some weeks and they got very close to each other, Maxwell ended up doing something he never thought he would ever do in his entire life and that was learning how to speak in signs. He found someone who would teach him the basics, this was funny to him but he had to take it for the sake of communicating with Angel. He was supposed to stay for a month but he ended up extending his stay for two more months, he didn't feel like going back , being around angle was home for him .His work was waiting for him, his family had started disturbing him that he wasn't supposed to stay that long. At last he had to go back home after the long stay but he was not planning to leave her behind he had to convince her to go back with him.
  • Angel was in love with Maxwell and she wanted to follow him back, she missed her family back home but then she had six more months before she was done studying. She told that to him but he was hellbent on taking her back with him , it was just six months, she told him, and he agreed only with the promise to visit her after three months and then the next time he came , he would be taking her with him. She agreed to that and saw him off when he left ,she would miss him but they would be chatting and more to that he would visit her after three months that was good enough.
  • Maxwell went back to Greenwood, at the airport were his men waiting to take him home. When he got home, his mother was the happiest, she hugged him and got him to sit and tell her why he had overstay abroad, Maxwell knew his mother would not let him be if he didn't give her an excuse , but then if it was any other woman he would have lied but because it was Angel , he told her mother that he had found a woman he liked and he wanted to bring her home only that she was not done schooling, his mother was happy for her son , it was good that he found time to spend out of business and looking at his eyes she could see how they soft contrary to the cold and stern Maxwell. She asked if he had her picture, to her surprise the picture was his screensaver, she was a pretty young lady, she was satisfied with what she saw and echoed her son for choosing a beautiful woman.
  • At work Maxwell would sometimes space out thinking of Angel and smiling alone, Mark who was older than him understood that he was in love, he was happy for their ever prince, noticing that he also had a soft spot was something that would make him happy, he and a few of guards knew about Angel well and the fact that she was abled differently , Maxwell did not have many friends to share his joy with. One evening he met his business associate and only friend Martin , they had a deal to talk about, they went to a luxurious hotel and booked a quite room where they would do their business without disturbance. They were in the middle of the conversation when Martin who was also a no nonsense guy noticed that Maxwell had his full attention on his phone and grinning like an idiot. I thought we came here to avoid disturbances but i can see that your phone is the number one distraction , what's up? Martin asked, Maxwell didn't reply Martin got up and snatched his phone to see what was making the prince behave like a fool, what he saw surprised him, Maxwell was starring at a woman's picture it has never happened before , he was with many women before but he had never taken any of them seriously, so seeing his attention going to this particular woman was new.
  • As he wondered , Maxwell was staring at his empty hands , his phone was no longer there ,the way he looked at Martin you would think that his eyes can dig holes on his skin, he snatched back his phone , seeing his behavior Martin burst out laughing , he asked , are you being for real, Maxwell, a woman stealing your attention from such an important business deal, where will you get the ,money to spoil her if the deal doesn't go through,? Maxwell did not find that funny, he looked at his friend for a while before telling him that she has stolen his heart too , let alone attention, Martin chocked on his saliva, why am i hearing of this just now? , who is she and how and when did this happen? Maxwell told him about her and since he was a friend he could trust , he told him the part he had not tell his mother about Angel not being able to hear or speak, Martin was shocked , he could not believe what he was hearing , he thought Maxwell had a problem with his brain , are you sure of what you want? , he asked ,Maxwell was very solid with his decision that even after his friend tried talking him out of it, he could not listen , they parted on bad terms since Maxwell could not stand him saying unpleasing things about Angel
