Maxwell's pov. My life has been quite interesting over the past week. A lot has transpired between me and Amihan, which has given me great confidence that her entering my life was not a mistake but rather the result of a divine plan.She had been able to fill the vacuum my previous toxic relationship left in my heart within the short time we'd been together.The thought of being the toxic partner in our relationship frightened me. I could only imagine how broken Amihan would feel if she knew the whole truth about me. The reason I had first approached her and how deceitful my thought had been. My mom's call interrupted my thoughts. She has been frequent with her check-ups lately and I knew it was because she didn't want to miss any information about my progress with Amihan since we had a few weeks to go. "Hello, Mum," I greeted with a smile. "Hey, darling, How are you?" She asked in a lively tone. "I'm okay. Your calls have been frequent these days, " I said and she shrugged. "
Victoria's pov. Each passing day draws us closer to the deadline the bank has given the company and even with the possibility around us, we weren't sure of anyone yet. The last thing I wanted was to let my husband's legacy crumble. The company was the only inheritance he had left for me and our son. I stayed up all through the night surfing the Internet and reading journals in preparation for tomorrow's meeting with Parker's group. If the need arises for us to address the congregation, I wanted to be sure I was ready. Even though Maxwell had insisted we give the presentation our best shot and see what it brings, I had another plan in mind. I wouldn't risk my husband's legacy on the table of mere wish. I could feel tears welling down my cheeks as I stared at Raymond's photo on the wall. He was the best husband and father any could wished for and if he was here with me, he would never let me go through such. He always had a way of easing his family's worries. After his demise, I
Judith's POV, After seeing the outcome of yesterday's meeting with my dad's business partners, I have a newfound appreciation for the hard work and dedication he has put into his company. I never fully realized how much he has sacrificed and the risks he has taken to get to where he is today.The thought of becoming the CEO filled me with both excitement and trepidation. Having Maxwell and Amihan as mentors would be invaluable, given their business expertise. My phone message notification interrupted my thoughts as I peeped to know who it was. I beamed with Joy when as I read the message, it was from Mrs. Victoria Raymond, Maxwell's mum, she was inviting me over for dinner at her place.(Hey Judith. How about you stop by my place today after work so we can have dinner while we get to know each other better? I'll understand if the timing isn't friendly) For Maxwell's sake, I was always ready to clear my itinerary and what would possibly be keeping me too busy to grant his mother
Maxwell's POV, "You did what?" I questioned furiously, "Mom, what were you thinking?" I let out a frustrated sigh. "I was thinking about the company's growth. The exact reason I sent you to Philippine Maxwell," She replied bluntly. "What have I been doing? I paused my life and dream to be here just to get the company back on its feet," I said frustratedly. "I doubt that is what you've been doing. You've been frolicking with Amihan, forgetting your responsibility," she said rudely, and I took a deep breath. "I thought that was what you wanted? You said to go after Amihan, why the sudden change of plan?" "We got a better option and that's all that matters. Amihan or Judith what matters is our plan going uninterrupted, " She said defensively. "You didn't consider letting me know before you changed plans?" I could sense future danger with how my mom is going about all of these. "I tried letting you know but you were too stubborn to understand my point. Maxwell, you don't ex
Judith's pov. The past two weeks in New York had been wonderful, thanks to my dad. He made my visit so special and memorable. I didn't want to leave him and go back home. It was hard to say goodbye to him, knowing that I wouldn't see him for a while. My dad and I had such a wonderful time in New York, and it was hard to say goodbye. My father had insisted that I get my own car and apartment in the Philippines when I returned, but I didn't want to take advantage of his generosity. He was persistent in his insistence, I finally agreed to get a car but refused to move out of my current place since I wouldn't want to be apart from Amihan and I didn't want to be beholden to him any more than I already was.The knowledge that my car was waiting for me in the Philippines was a constant reminder of how lucky I was to have my father in my life. He had always been generous and supportive, and I felt incredibly grateful for his love and care. No matter what happened in my life, I knew I could
Amihan's pov. As I saw Judith walking towards the airport waiting room, I felt a rush of excitement and happiness. We ran towards each other and embraced in a tight hug, like two long-lost friends who had finally been reunited. It was a moment of pure joy and connection. We stood there for a moment, just holding each other and taking in the moment. It felt like time had stopped, and we were the only two people in the world. We were so happy to be reunited after two weeks, and it was clear that our friendship was as strong as ever. I was shocked to see You won't believe how much Judith has changed since you've been away! She's glowing, and she looks more beautiful than ever. There's something different about her, and it's not just her new hairstyle or clothes. It's something deeper, something that radiates from within."You look stunning, bes," I exclaimed as she twirled around to show me her new look. She was glowing with confidence and self-assurance, and it suited her so well.
Judith's POV, I can't imagine driving without Amihan by my side. She's been such a constant presence in my life, and it's hard to imagine being on the steering without her. I've gotten so used to having her with me in the car, that it's difficult to imagine what it would be like to be on the road without her and our unending gist. On that Monday morning, I raced out of the house, frantically trying to catch up to Amihan's car as she was about to leave for work. I called out to her, waving my arms and trying to get her attention. But she was already pulling out of the driveway, and I was almost too late. Amihan had assumed I would be driving my car that morning, and so she didn't wait for me after breakfast. As I approached her car, Amihan looked at me with a puzzled expression. 'Why aren't you using your ride?' she asked. I sighed and pouted my lips, trying to think of an explanation.I gave her a sheepish grin, "I'd never miss our morning chats - they're one of the best parts of m
Maxwell's pov. With the way Judith smiled at me and looked excited when I walked into the hall that morning I knew nothing had changed. It was apparent I had a big issue at hand, and hoped I could fix it before it was too late. After the dinner my mother and Judith had together, it was clear that her feelings for me had only grown stronger. I knew that whatever they had discussed must have led to all of these. I felt overwhelmed by the stress and worry of the situation.When I first saw her that morning, I felt a wave of relief wash over me. I was glad she was back, and I needed to have a serious talk with her to clear the air.I had purposely ignored her messages, hoping that it would make her realize that I wasn't interested in her. Yet, instead of understanding my silence, she seemed to interpret it as a sign of my affection. It was time to clear up the misunderstandingIt was alarming to see how differently Judith was behaving towards me. This wasn't the strong, independent lady
