Amihan's POV, As I luxuriated in the warm water of the bath, I could hear muffled voices coming from the front door. I strained to make out the words, but they were too indistinct to understand. But as the conversation continued, I could tell by the tone that it was an argument. I wondered who Maxwell was talking to, and what they were arguing about. The thought that I might be interrupting a private conversation crossed my mind, but the possibility that someone was in distress pushed that thought aside. My mind was reeling as I stepped out of the bathroom and made my way towards the front door where Maxwell was expecting to see his Neighbour or a stranger, To my astonishment, it was none other than my best friend, Judith. My brain raced to make sense of the situation, but I was at a loss. Had something happened to her? How did she know Maxwell's place? Were the whispers I heard the sound of an argument, or perhaps it was just the water from the shower echoing in the bathroom? Ev
Judith's POV.As I got into my car, I couldn't hold back the tears that welled up in my eyes. I felt like a fool like I had put on a facade just to impress Maxwell and Amihan. As I noticed Amihan approaching, I started the car and sped away, not knowing where I was headed, just trying to outrun the pain that was consuming me. It was like a nightmare that I couldn't wake up from. I had no idea where I was going, I just knew I had to get away from them.My mind was stuck in a loop, replaying images of them over and over again. I felt like I was being taunted by my thoughts as if they were trying to tell me that I was the only one who wasn't happy. I could see them smiling and laughing together, while I was alone in the shadows, feeling like an outcast. It was as if the world was conspiring against me, trying to make me feel even more isolated and alone. I felt like a third wheel, an outsider looking in on a life I would never be a part of. Maybe it was for the best to move on from Max
Dalisay's POV.Days had passed since my last meeting with Adams, but I couldn't seem to stop thinking about what had transpired. The event was surreal and disturbing, but what confused me more was his change in demeanor. It was as if he had become a different person overnight, and I was left wondering if I had truly understood who he was in the first place. The whole experience had left me feeling unsettled and unsure of what to think.My thoughts were racing with questions about his transformation, and I was unable to make sense of it all. While I was happy that he had seemingly changed for the better, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that came with it. There was a part of me that wanted to know how this change had occurred, and why it had happened so suddenly. I felt like there was a missing piece of the puzzle, and I was determined to find it. My thoughts were so consuming that I didn't hear the door open, and I was startled when I realized Karl was standing in front of me I
Maxwell's Pov, "Where should we meet?" I asked the moment I approached Judith's car after work. Though she had avoided me all day, she sent me a reminder message at the end of the day to make sure we still met up. The tension between us was palpable, and I wasn't sure how the conversation would go. I just hoped we could find a way to move past whatever had caused the rift between us. "I'll send you the address and time," She answered coldly and entered her car. I watched as she sped off. Just as I was trying to process everything that had just happened, my phone buzzed with a message notification from Judith. I hastily opened it, The message read, "My place, 6 PM. Don't be late." My heart sank, and I felt a surge of panic. I had a bad feeling about this, and I couldn't shake the feeling that something was very wrong. Was I walking into a trap? I was starting to regret ever getting involved with Judith.I tried calling her, hoping to work out a different meeting place, but she di
Dalisay's POV,As I paced back and forth in my room, my conversation with Adam left me feeling unsettled and uncertain, and I couldn't seem to shake the fear in my heart off. I was so wrapped up in my thoughts that I didn't even notice when my mother came into the room. She had decided to move in with us after we made the difficult decision to sell her mansion, along with the two other mansions.I turned around, and there stood my mother, her arms crossed over her chest, her eyes fixed on me. I was taken aback by her presence, and I wondered how long she had been standing there, unnoticed. "How long have you been there?" I asked, still a bit shaken by her sudden appearance."You gave me quite a scare, Mom!" I exclaimed, holding my chest, "I didn't hear you come in. How did you get in without making a sound?" She just smiled, amused by my reaction. "I must be getting better at sneaking up on you," she teased. "Or maybe you're just a bit too absorbed in your thoughts." She said calm
Judith's POV,I tried to sneak out of the house early that morning, not wanting to encounter Amihan. I thought I had gotten up early enough to avoid her, but to my surprise, she was standing in front of my door, dressed and ready for the day, with an insufferable smirk on her face. My heart sank with disappointment. I had hoped to escape without having to talk to her, but it seemed that fate had other plans. I prepared myself for the inevitable confrontation."You almost gave me a heart attack!" I exclaimed, clutching my chest as my heart raced from the shock of seeing her. Amihan's smirk deepened as she raised an eyebrow, as if to say "Nice try, but I see right through you.""I wasn't expecting to see you this early," I stammered, my mind racing to come up with a reasonable explanation for my early morning departure. "What brings you up at this hour?" I added, hoping to buy myself some time to come up with a more convincing excuse. Amihan looked at me with a knowing smirk, as if sh
Carter's POV,As her lips met mine I felt a cool sensation. I had dreamed of this moment ever since our last night together and now it was finally happening. I had always had a crush on her, and now it seemed like my feelings might be reciprocated. I returned the kiss, my heart racing as I explored the contours of her lips and I found myself getting lost in the moment. Although I knew I had to be careful, to be sure that she felt the same way before I let myself get too carried away, I had to be sure that we were on the same page.Her abrupt withdrawal from the kiss left me reeling, unsure of what to make of the situation. Had I done something wrong? Had I been too aggressive? Too shy? I racked my brain, trying to figure out what could have possibly caused her to pull away in such a manner. I felt a wave of embarrassment wash over me, it was the first time I was kissing a lady. I might not be the most experienced kisser, but I was determined to improve."How dare you!" she shouted, he
Maxwell's POV, Every morning for the past week, I dreaded the thought of going to work, knowing that Judith would be there, waiting to make my life miserable. Whether it was through her snide remarks, her passive-aggressive behavior, or her constant need for attention, she always found a way to make my work hours unbearable. I felt like a prisoner, trapped in a cycle of misery that I couldn't escape. After my last visit to Judith's apartment, I realized that there was more to her than I had originally thought. The friendly and innocent girl that Amihan knew was just a facade. Underneath the surface, Judith was bitter and resentful. When I pulled into the parking lot and saw her standing there with a guy, I took a deep breath and steeled myself for the drama that was sure to follow. I knew from experience that she would be full of theatrics, and she didn't disappoint. From Amihan description, I could tell the guy was Carter, the same guy that Judith had treated with the same call
