Maxine’s Pov:
I watched him speechlessly, unable to even move. What’s he talking about?
un-der his protec-tion? And how did he know I was the Crazy dancer?
Oh my God! How did this happen?
“Maxine” he called, snapping me out of my thoughts.
“What do you think? I only wanna be of help”.
I stared at him for a while, then took my eyes to the floor.
“How did you know I’m the Crazy dancer?” I asked
“Well… from a reliable source” he replied and my mind reflected to Pablo.
He was the only one who knew my secret. Could it be possible he had revealed it to Noah?
“I…I wouldn’t want to say no to you. But my family, they’ll never approve of me staying here” I told him.
“Your family?” He scoffed.
“Do you still consider those people your family? They turned you into a slave, Maxine! Treated you like a piece of rag and you still refer to them as your family?”
I bent my head in shame.
“I know everything” he continued.
“I know how they’ve made you suffer and I’m here to put an end to it. Well, let’s just say you got my attention with your dancing skills and I can’t just stand by and watch you suffer.
“So, let me know, Maxine – are you with me on this? Are you willing to stay with me? You don’t nee-d to worry about your family. The most important thing is your opinion. Just tell me you’re okay with it and I’ll take care of every other thing” he explained, ma-king me more speechless.
Oh, God! Is this a dream or what? Living alone with Noah? Good lord! I never planned that. How am I supposed to do it?
Noah Sigmund? I mean…Noah of all people!!
Gosh!
“Maxine…”he called and I gulped nervously and looked at him.
“What do you think?”
I thought about it again. My first fear were my family – they were definitely gonna cause a fight and that was certain.
And Noah – what would people say when they get to know I’m living with him?
I sighed dolefully.
But on the other hand, this could be an answer to my prayers.
I mean, I’ve always prayed to be liberated from my family. And this could be it! Why am I having a second thought about it?
Or…is it because its someone like Noah?
I lifted my head and found him staring at me and slowly, I nodded in agreement.
“Thank you” I said shyly.
“Come with me” he said and started walking away and of course, I followed.
We got to the entrance and he pushed the door open and went in..
Gosh! The entire place was so neat and sparkling!
I g@sped when we got into the sitting room. Oh my gee! It was undescribable!
So big and beautiful..
Everything was clas-sic and looked overly expensive. I can’t believe Noah owns this. So, why was he living with his parents all along?
Three ladies rushed out immediately in spiffy dresses.
“Welcome home, sir Noah” they greeted with a bow and looked surprised seeing me.
“Yeah – don’t worry; I’ll call you when I nee-d you” he dismissed them and they bowed and left.
Wow! They were obviously the maids.
Hm. We don’t even have maids at home – and that’s because they prefer me doing all the chores!
I kept following Noah in a naive way as he took the stairs and continued walking till he had gotten to a closed door.
He brou-ght out a key from his pocket, inser-ted it into the keyhole and opened the door.
“This will be your room” he announced as we walked in.
Oh my God!
Myl-ips dropped open in shock.
What??
I scoffed in disbelief. No; this is probably a dream!
My room???
It was 10 times prettier than the one I had back there at home.
It was so big, dazzling and comfy.
The be-d was big and looked really soft. And that was a big flat screen Tv and decoder – something I never had.
“I didn’t plan on your coming” he said from behind.
“So, we’re short of clothes and the rest. But by tomorrow, we’ll be going for shopping as soon as you’re back from school”.
I turned to face him, tears threatening to drop from my eyes.
“Why are you doing all these?” I asked ruefully.
“You…You ba-rely even know me”.
He smiled and t©uçhed his forehead
“Well…I just fell in love with your dancing skills. And lets say I hate seeing someone maltreated” he replied and a tear finally dropped.
“Thank you” I muttered, wiping it off and he smiled.
“You’re welcome. I’ll ask the maids to bring you some food immediately. You can bathe, freshen up and get re-ady for the evening contest. I nee-d to hurry somewhere. But I’ll be back in a short time”. He said and all I did was nod.
And he left afterwards.
I plonked myself on the be-d and busted into tears. Oh God! What have I done to deserve this?
What?
Within the twi-nkle of an eye, my life’s changed? Everything changed?
How did this even happen? How did Noah get to develop interest in me?
How?
I wept for a long time and only st©pped when I heard a knock on the door.
I sniffed and dried my face with the ti-p of my shi-t before going to check it out.
I opened the door slightly and it revealed one of the maids I had seen earlier.
“Good morning ma’am” she greeted with a bow.
Oh my God! I couldn’t believe someone was actually calling me ma’am.
“Um…good morning” I replied with a little sniff.
“Sorry to disturb, but I c@m£ to know what you would like to eat. Just make a choice, plea-se so the chef can set to work” she said politely and I bit my lower l!pto prevent me from crying more.
“Um…anything nice would do. Maybe some pasta and eggs” I replied shyly.
“Okay ma’am” she bowed and left.
I shut the door and leaned my back on it.
Gosh! Is this really happening? I’m being treated with so much respect??
I scoffed and sat on the floor, thinking about it.
I f!ngered my chin to be sure I wasn’t dreaming.
It was real! Damn real!
I was with Noah!
Goodness!
*
I sat on the floor for a long time, thinking about the whole thing. After a while, I decided to take a look around to prevent me from shedding more tears.
I dried my face properly and left the room, going downstairs.
Even the stairs looked royal.
But really…if Noah owned something like this, why then was he living with his parents?
I shook my head in amusement and finally got to the sitting room. The TV was on, displa-ying a Nigerian program.
Hmm. I couldn’t even recall the last time I watched movies.
I smiled and was about taking a seat when I heard a knock on the door and wondered who it could be.
Maybe it was one of Noah’s visitors.
I sat down and looked at the door and the and the knock c@m£ again.
Oh God! Who could it be? I felt scared going to check it out. Where were the maids?
Immediately, the door opened and I turned to see Rex coming in – looking like he wanted to eat up someone.
What?
I sprang on my feet in shock immediately.
What’s he doing here?

Maxine’s Pov:
He reduced his pace the moment he sp©tted me.
Oh my God! What’s he doing here???
“Hmph” he scoffed.
“So, its true? You really are Noah’s bit-ch, huh?”
I shuddered as he drew closer and stood in front of me
“You’re meant to be my maid!” He snarled..
“Have you forgotten the evidence I have against you? Huh? Do you really think you can just set yourself free??”
“plea-se…I don’t want any trouble” I said feebly and he pu-ll-ed me r0ûghly by the arm.
Ouch!
“I met you before him! You should be with me, not him!!”
“Let me go!” I winced and just then, the door opened, revea-ling Noah.
Oh my God! Thank goodness!
Rex also turned to have a look and as soon as he saw Noah, he left me.
Hold on; Noah wasn’t alone!
He was with…Pablo???
I g@sped a little, my eyes fixed on them.
Noah st©pped by the door, while Pablo walked a little ahead of him.
“Finally, He’s home” Rex sniggered.
“Go upstairs, Maxine” Noah said without looking at me and I nodded and took the stairs with Pablo following me behind.

Noah’s Pov:
I waited for her to take the stairs before turning to him.
“What are you doing here?” I asked and he scoffed and c@m£ closer.
“Is that really a question?” He asked.
“I c@m£ to confirm the romours -God damn it! You double crossing criminal! What are you doing with Maxine? Huh??”
“The nerves of you, Rex. You dare come into my house and call me names?” I asked, trying to keep calm.
“Oh! plea-se, spare me that sh*t! You took Maxine because you know I had interest in her! You’ve always been a cheat – the same way you took me Nora away from me!”
“The only interest you had in Maxine was ma-king her your maid and that’s only because you were trying to get back at me”.
“So, what? You decided to be the hero of the day by saving her? Is that it?”
I sighed and tried walking away, but he held me back.
“For how long will this go on, Noah? This double crossing nature of yours! For how long will you keep up with it?” He asked angrily.
“Well, listen to me, Rex and listen very good. I’ve never in my life double crossed you. I keep telling you; I had nothing to do with your ex. She was the one lvsting after me, not the other way round.
“And as for Maxine, I have my own reasons for bringing her here with me. Now, I don’t care what you believe, but just so we’re clear, you have no right over my decision. And the next time you come in here and say abusive words to me, I’ll make sure you regret it”.
I allowed the little silence step in as he looked enraged.
“Now, if that’s all, you can leave” I told him and turned around to leave again but he held me back.
“I’ll get back at you. I promise” he stated coldly and left.

Maxine’s Pov:
Pablo followed me into my room and as soon as we were in, I turned to face him.
“Pablo?” I called, astonished.
“Little pretty girl” he smiled as usual and I chuckled and embr@ced him.
Oh my God!
“What are you doing here?” I asked after the hvg and he shrugged.
“Well…just c@m£ over to pay my little girl a visit” he replied and we laughed.
But suddenly, I paused and frowned.
“Pablo…you told Noah about it, didn’t you?” I asked and his eyes dropped.
“Didn’t you?” I asked again.
“Yes…I did. And I’m sorry. The truth is, I never wanted to reveal it, Maxine. I mean, you know me – I always keep to my word. But Noah…I don’t know how he got to trace me and know we were connected. He c@m£ to me at the bar and f0rç£d me and…I had to tell him the truth.
“Besides, I saw his sincerity and was rest as-sured you wouldn’t be hurt. That’s the reason I decided to tell him and look – He’s changing your life alre-ady. Its for the best, right?” He explained enthusiastically and I sighed and sat on the be-d.
“I un-derstand your point, Pablo. But…what if this only brings more Complications? Like…for how long will I stay here with Noah? What about my family? They’re definitely gonna put up a fight. What if they get Noah arrested or something?
“And…what would people say when they get to know I’m staying with Noah? There are just so many things involved, Pablo and I’m scared”.
“Little girl” he called and sat next to me.
“There’s nothing to be scared of because Noah’s got it all covered. The most important thing is being free from the torments of your family.
“You can stay here with Noah until you win the competition – hopefully. And talking about the rumours…well, you don’t have to pay attention to them. They can talk gossip all they want. As long as you’re safe, you’re okay. Besides, 99% of ladies would die to be in your position – staying un-der the same roof with Noah”.
And that was the p@rt that got me smiling as I blu-shed at it.
Hmm.
“So, I nee-d you to take your mind away from every negativity – at least for now. Okay?” He asked and I just nodded, still feeling a bit unsecured.
“So…are you re-ady for tonight’s competition? Half of the world will be watching, you know?” He asked and I smiled.
“Of course, I’m re-ady”.

Rex’s Pov:
I drove angrily in my car,feeling so mad at everything and feeling like crushing the car right in front of me.
Damn it!!
That Noah! I hated him! I hated him for always being so tricky and double crossing.
Why does he have to be the best at everything? Always having what I want.
I’ve always admired dancing, but don’t know how to dance. Instead, he’s the famous dancer and as a result, gets the attention of ladies. I’ve always wanted to run the company, but dad feels he’s the right one for it since he’s the eldest and dancer. Yeah – cra-p!
I loved Noes, but he took her away from me and claimed she was the one throwing herself at him.
And now Maxine…
Yes, I only wanted her as a maid and a revenge tool, but he has no right to snatch her away from me.
And that bar tender – Pablo. There was definitely something fishy.
What was he doing with Noah? What business do they have together?
If I remember vividly, Noah had gone to his bar yesterday and they had discussed pri-vately. And this morning, he takes Maxine away.
What the hell’s going on?
I suddenly st©pped the car, parking at the side of the road.
No! I’ve been cheated for too long alre-ady. I can’t allow Noah use me anymore. I nee-ded to get back at him.
Yes!
The crazy dancer! Noah’s still looking for her!
His manager had even put it up on news yesterday, promising a reward for anyone who gets to reveal her identity.
Hm…That only means he’s very interested in her – much more than he’s interested in Maxine. Yes – even the Crazy dancer dances better than her.
Perfect! This is it!
The crazy dancer’s gonna be my new plan. I’ll make her mine by all means and get even with Noah.
Yes! I promise myself, I’ll get to know who she is and make her mine.
I smiled as an idea suddenly crept into my mind.
TBC.
I wonder what Rex’s planning🤔🤔🤔
