Chapter 0363

Maximus still hadn’t shaken off the feeling left by that beautiful drearm. As fie walked through the mansion’s halls, it was as if he were experiencing déjà vu or living in parallel dimensions. Though the mansion looked different, every step brought glimpses of his ex–wife’s silhouette and the faint scent of her perfume. Her voice still echoed in his cars. He quickly pushed those thoughts aide–he had to go to the company. He had called Alden, the young man who, despite only recently entering his life, held the answers to many of his lingering questions.

Maximus took a shower and dressed casually for the first time ever to visit the company. He had no time to waste -he needed to have a long, serious talk with Alden. Before leaving, he left a note on his bedside table, promising his daughter he’d be back soon and that he was headed to the company.

In this life, it was certain that Mary would never be his again. Maybe in another life, he had done things better, but in this one, he had to face the consequences of all the harm he’d caused–and allowed Alexia to cause–in his misguided pursuit of creating a family for his children.

smiled at the receptionist and followed Maximus. They stepped into the elevator, and an awkward silence filled the space until the chime announced their arrival at the correct floor. Maximus was the first to step out, motioning for Alden to follow him down the hall. Alden glanced at the corridors of what had once been the great Palmer empire. Nostalgia and emotion swept over him, a mix of feelings he couldn’t fully describe. He was nervous, unsure of how his uncle would react to the information he’d uncovered.
