Judith's pov"WOW!" I exclaimed simultaneously the moment my dad led me into his workroom where he spent time drawing and painting at his leisure. "This is how I keep myself occupied when I'm less busy," He said with a smile. "This is beautiful Dad," I said. “Your mom made me fall in love with Art. I thought my eyes would pop out from its socket the first time I entered her art gallery in your grandfather's house, and guess what? Even now I still feel the same way each time I walk through the door. I miss her so much and this is one way I have kept her close all these years,” My dad said with a deep sigh as he looked around the room. It was obvious that whatever it was my parents both shared was beautiful. I could tell his love for her was everything he wanted. “The studio is like a work of art itself. An architectural work of art,” I said and He beamed a smile at me. “Yeah. It was designed in memory of your mom, I made sure it looked exactly like the one in her father's house
Maxwell's pov.After breakfast that morning, I settled down on my couch and began to scroll through my gallery, particularly the collection I had made for special people. When I reached Amihan's picture, the one I had taken the day before during our private moment, a smile sprang out of my mouth. I laughed, "She looks more beautiful when she sleeps," as I zoomed in and out of the photos to capture every last detail.I put down my phone and let my thoughts drift back to yesterday, to our lovely moment together and the way we both solidified our relationship. I felt like a winner who had just taken home a trophy when I considered the possibility of us becoming a legal couple. When I checked my phone and saw that it was my mother on the line, I realized how wide my smile had been. Despite knowing a part of the reason she called, my heart didn't miss a beat this time."Hey Mom" I greeted in excitement. "Hey Max, it's been a while, how're you doing" she returned the gesture. "I'm okay
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. "
