Amihan's POV,I smiled as I saw Maxwell approaching me. He had notified me about us spending time together on Saturday. I had suggested an Amusement park outing while he had wanted a game arcade.The two venues were not far from each other, we had an agreement that whoever arrived on time, would choose the venue to hang out. I had arrived two minutes earlier than him. "I know that's a smile of victory," He said as he walked towards me smiling. We hugged each other and walked into the park holding hands. "I can't remember the last time I visited an amusement park," I looked around. I was amazed at the sight of the enormous rides in the park. "It's been ages. the last time I visited one was in New York. It was a family outing, What about you? " He flashed a smile at me, "I can't remember, I loved playing video games as a kid, Besides, Amusement parks are for ladies, ""Says who? That's not true!!" I muttered and then laughed out. "Maybe I don't have a memory of ever visiting o
Judith's pov.Jake had a smile on his face as he watched me approach his table, where he was seated at the fancy restaurant for our date. Those smiles once rocked my world and somehow I felt my heart racing as I approached him. Nothing had changed about him, he was the same Jake I had fallen in love with."Hey, babe," He said as he stood up to kiss me. I noticed this and turned my cheek to him so that he ended up kissing my cheeks. Jake frowned as he pulled away. this was the first time I would be rejecting his advances, back then even when we had our splits, I still let him kiss me on the lips because I knew we would eventually get back together, but with Maxwell in the picture, I knew there was no hope for us.He returned to his seat after I had taken my seat. "You look beautiful as always," He said and I flashed him a smile. "Thank you," I replied with a smile and Jake reached for her hands from across the table."I love you so much, Judith and I've missed you," He said truthfull
Maxwell's pov. I had just gotten into bed after having my bath when I received Judith's text message, apologizing for being unable to make our call last night and asking that we have it that evening. All I wanted was for everything to end before we ended up causing additional issues, so I swiftly answered her.I knew she was proud of us and wouldn't want to lose her because of the way Amihan had bravely introduced me to the guy at the amusement park. I needed to clear up this misconception and resolve the matter between us, so I didn't even wait a moment past the time she asked I should call, before calling Judith. I felt it was best that we resolved this now rather than waiting until it was too late.She was already on the phone and beaming broadly when the second ring went off."Hi!" Her gentle voice greeted my ears from the other end, from her tone I could tell she was excited."Hi dear," I returned the gesture without further thought, "How're you doing""Oh Max, you won't beli
Judith's POVI felt his sincerity when he asked us to take things slow, He probably was scared we'd miss out on the whole excitement of being in love if we rushed things, I knew returning sincerity was one thing we both needed to stay true to each other and make for a long-lasting relationship, So I decided to tell him about my date with Jake and all he needed to know, I wanted to be sincere with him and not hide anything from him."Maxwell," I called."Yes, I'm with you," he spoke as calmly as ever."I met Jake today," my heart was racing as I said that to him, I wasn't sure of what to expect, for a moment I was scared of him misinterpreting my intention, and reading meanings into it,I kept calm, as I eagerly waited for his response."Are you guys working on getting back together?" I sighed in relief at his gentle response, I could sense jealousy in his tone, and my joy knew no bounds, it was obvious Max loved me, I'm now sure of it,But he has always been reserved which I've c
Judith's POV, "Ladies and gentlemen, I present my only child to you all, Judith Parker " A cheerful applause filled the air as I walked into the conference hall where my dad and other board of directors were seated awaiting my arrival. Everyone took their turn in exchanging pleasantries with me before they sat down. Most of the people seated in the conference hall were noble dignitaries whom I had always admired and seen on television. Everything was still like a dream to me, Who would have imagined I would one day shake hands with such a caliber of men? "Come sit beside my darling," My dad said with a smile and I nodded. Mrs. Cecilia, Aunt Lithina, and Charlotte were also seated as members of the board. Charlotte had a usual frown on her face and for the first time, I wasn't bothered since I knew the reason. The press, and various media houses in New York, were present as well,Flashes from the camera, graced the atmosphere, as everyone present, stood up to welcome my dad an
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
