Dalisay's POV. I waited impatiently for the staff to gather as I roamed the board room in a frenzied manner. How in the world was it possible for such a large amount of money to disappear from the company's account without my supervision? The fund could not have left the account without my signature as CEO; Regina and I were the sole signatories. Regina better have a good explanation for this. My mother and Karl, who were on the board of directors, were among those seated in the boardroom a few minutes later. "Without my consent or signature, a substantial amount was taken unlawfully from the company's account. I replied fiercely, observing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces as they gazed at one another. "I wonder how that was possible in the first place and who did that," I muttered. I got more and more enraged as I observed them staring at each other. "Why isn't anyone speaking up? We're not here to gaze at one another; rather, we're here to identify the perpetrato
Karl's Pov. I had never seen Dalisay so furious with her mother. My suspicions were correct; Luciana had taken money out of the company's fund without her daughter's consent and I wondered what could be the excuse she would give when Dalisay was done investigating since I knew She would. For a moment, I had never realized that the man I had met in her apartment the previous night was not only one of her gigolos; he was the one who was seen with her on the footage. For all this time, I had assumed that my feelings for Dalisay were unfounded, but after our intimate moment last night, everything inside of me craved her, and I wasn't going to let anything stand in our way—not even Luciana. Dalisay was beginning to love me with how passionate she was with me last night and even that morning she had asked the maid to let her serve my breakfast. I was scared Dalisay would not hesitate to file for divorce if Luciana dared to inform her of my involvement in all of this. "What were you t
Judith's pov. "How do I look?" I spun around so Amihan would get a full view of my outfit. "You look stunning and breathtaking girl," As I would be the center of attention for the majority of the activities, I took extra time to get ready for the company's dinner date. "Your beautiful smile is a bonus," Amihan added as she noticed how excited I was. That morning, I felt energized and for the first time since my breakup with Jake, I was truly happy and optimistic about being around people. With Maxwell's help, I was able to attain such a height, and I felt grateful he came through at the very moment I needed him, the first thing I did that morning was to send him an appreciation text, which he responded to swiftly. Whenever his thought flashes through my mind, I catch myself smiling, instead of my typical frown, "What if he asks me to be his girlfriend?" I questioned inwardly and was shocked to hear Amihan giggle. "What's funny?" I questioned her, "Wait, did I say that loud
Maxwell's and Judith's Pov. (This chapter is written in the Third pov. )“Are you sure you want to hit the dancefloor in that outfit? You’re going to have a hard time keeping the guys away,” Maxwell warned, and Judith rolled her eyes. “I’ve seen ladies who are dressed sexier than I am in here like your busty admirer,” Judith said as she rose, and dragged Maxwell to the dance floor. Maxwell did everything within his power to avoid Judith's seductive advances as they danced. On a few occasions, she leaned on him and tried to kiss him but Maxwell stylishly ignored her and gulped down more alcohol to keep his mind busy and distracted from whatever Judith was trying to do. They both felt exhausted a while later with sweat dripping from their bodies, while Judith giggled a bit tipsy, as they made their way back to their seat. She had consumed more Alcohol even when Maxwell had tried to stop her. A few minutes later they were both laughing at each other's jokes as Judith tried to tune
Judith's pov. The next morning, a moan escaped my lips as i slowly opened my eyes and raised a hand to my head, which was banging severely. The ray of light coming inside the room from the window did not help as I was having a serious case of photosensitivity. My mouth and throat was dry, and i needed water as soon as possible. I slowly sat up on the bed and the first thing I did when my feet hit the ground was to put down the window blind. I didn’t need the light yet.Once I had done that i looked around the bedroom to take in my surrounding which looked a bit different. I guessed I had too much to drink last night and my head hurts badly. Thinking about last night I narrowed my eyes as i remembered the events that happened at the club and outside of it, and groaned softly and slapped my lips.How did I initiate the kiss with Maxwell? How did I lose my sense of reasoning to that extent? I grunted as I wondered what he would be thinking of me. I hope he didn't misunderstood
Amihan's Pov. As I got out of bed that morning, the aroma coming from the kitchen made my tummy growl. To my amazement, I saw Judith cheerfully making breakfast for us in the kitchen. given her dislike of cooking and preference for eating out, it was unusual for Judith to cook with such zeal. While we ate, I noticed she was in a happy mood and full of energy. The genuine smile on Judith's face after her date with her annoying colleague coupled with the news of her being the legitimate daughter of Mr. Parker a renowned millionaire in New York made me so happy. I had seen Judith at her low state severally and I was genuinely happy things were working out so perfectly for her. She deserves all the happiness in the world. I was scared she wouldn't get over Jake so easily because of the bond they shared but I never knew Destiny had another plan for her. I recalled my fear when my dad first introduced me to Judith and how frightened I was to accept her into my life. I was wary of letti
Dalisay's pov. I got up around eight thirty-five in the morning which was one hour later than my usual time feeling nauseated and exhausted. I slept so deeply that when my alarm went off not even it could wake me.The previous day at work, I felt feverish and battled with Nausea and lightheadedness. I had instructed all the chief staff to work even on the weekend so we could find a way out of the situation before it became too noticeable to the public. I awoke feeling lethargic and extremely weak, as though I hadn't gotten enough sleep. I was perplexed as to why the day was so bright, so I hurriedly grabbed my phone off the side of my bed in the hopes of seeing that I had gotten up earlier than my alarm and was startled to discover that I had slept one hour extra. I felt so weak and didn't have the strength to move from my room. Karl had left for his daily workout, and I wondered how he never bothered to wake me up. "My head hurts," I muttered, holding my head in pain, and lay
Maxwell's pov. I couldn't wait to see Judith and clear up the mess we made before it was too late. How did I even allow that to happen? Even knowing she was drunk, I had kissed her back in return. What was I thinking? Did she hypnotize me? That was not even possible. I was the last person she would be attracted to. All I wanted was to meet her, tell her everything, and perhaps also confess to her that I was in love with Amihan before it was too late and Judith assumed I was being flirtatious. (Alright. I'll meet you later in the evening then. You can send the address. ) I sighed in relief as her reply popped in on my phone. This time, I was not going to screw anything up. Before it's too late, I'll make sure to be honest with her.At exactly seven in the evening, I was at the garage of the restaurant she had suggested waiting for her arrival. "You look breathtaking," I said with admiration written all over my face the moment she walked up to me. She was dressed in a long pi
