Amihan's pov. “kiss me till I become hard,” he said softly and for some weird reason I couldn't fathom, my heart skipped a beat as I involuntarily brought out my tongue to wet my lips. "With all pleasure," I whispered to his ears, and he swallowed hard. I felt our t hearts raced as we stared into each other's eyes. I could tell he was curious to know if I was going to kiss him or take the shot that he held out for me. My lips were already longing for his and I didn't mind sharing a kiss with him. The last time I had a passionate kiss was with Karl Rodriguez and since then I had been too busy to satisfy my craving emotions. Even if I did want us to make love today, since we were yet to know each other and I wouldn't want him to think I was too cheap, I had planned to go far enough with him from the moment I saw his bare chest, I was ready to be nasty around him because I desired him that much now. I've missed being kissed and caressed by a man and I longed the touch of not just
Dalisay's pov. Every day that went by brought with it another pregnancy symptom. I had mixed emotions at the idea of getting pregnant, but I was ecstatic to watch my body adapt to becoming a mother. I wasn't sure how to respond. While the child's paternity bothered me, a part of me was relieved that Karl and I could finally satisfy our lifelong dream. Karl has been overly occupied attempting to resolve Anwil's condition. To see if we can complete more transactions before the bankruptcy becomes too apparent to the public, he stays up late at night and gets out of the house as early as possible to meet with important clients. The news of us having a child soon would brighten his mood and that for me was a good sign for Anwil. Given that we would not wish to leave Anwil's heir with worthless company, our unborn child will provide us with the necessary vigor to fight for Anwil. I had gotten up early that morning to prepare our breakfast and call my mother over. It would be best if I
Judith POVUpon waking up that morning, I was overwhelmed with emotions, unsure of how to respond to the reality that I would finally be meeting my father and being accepted into a family I had never met before. The thought of being the daughter of my biological father is both terrifying and magnificent. The previous day, my father had called to tell me that his driver would arrive at the house by eight in the morning to take me. He had turned down every offer from me to commute alone, stating that it would ease his anxieties to know that his driver was taking me home in a grande style.I was so anxious about the whole event and how it would go that I was unable to get enough sleep. Until four this morning, I was able to get a longer stretch of sleep. The gentle sun ray that escaped the curtain to my face reminded me that it was day already and I had things to do. It was fifteen minutes before seven when I checked my phone and lay down, reluctant to get out of bed. I let out a big ex
Amihan's pov.My phone rang, interrupting my sleep, as I groggily groped for it. My day at work was hectic, and as I was about to turn in for the night after finishing up with some paperwork, Judith called. Due to the time difference, we had been communicating more via text rather than phone calls because I was either too busy during the day or fatigued when she got the chance to call."Hey bes, Good evening," I greeted as I got up to wash my face in the bathroom. My eyes were heavy with sleep. We had not spoken in days, so I knew our chat would be lengthy because we both had a lot to talk about.Judith answered, "First of all, it's morning over here; you would have just said hi," to which we both chuckled."I apologize for waking you up from your beauty sleep," She said apologetically and I smiled. "It's fine. I've missed hearing your voice so I won't penalize you," I teased as she giggled. Ever since my last visit to Maxwell, I have been somewhat troubled and upset about how I re
Judith's POV."I was afraid you'd lost your way in the mansion being you ain't used to such, dear cousin," Charlotte said to ridicule me the moment she saw me approaching.The last thing was to give Charlotte the joy of discrediting me, not after what Amihan had said. Charlotte was nasty, and I knew that giving in to her demands would be the worst thing I could do. It was important to fix the way she behaved now before it was too late.."I don't easily forget things and that's why I've always succeeded in all I do," I answered with a conceited smile that caused her to scowl."She's just like her mother," Dad complimented and I smiled. "Beautiful vibrant Judith of blessed memory, You are your mother's replica," Lithina said and held my hands."Now that we have my much-anticipated cousin of mine, and your lawyer is also present here, what's stopping us from having the long overdue conversation about the company's allocation, Dear Uncle," Charlotte said With a strange, unauthentic smi
Amihan's pov.As I drove to Maxwell's apartment on Wednesday, I couldn't control the tremendous sense of excitement that welled up inside of me. The prospect of being in a relationship that had swept me off my feet after all these years made me happy because I was now ready to accept him. I laughed to myself remembering the disappointed expression on his face the day I had denied his request and now it would be worth the wait. Maxwell was accustomed to my natural look, so that day I decided to do something different with my makeup. As soon as I got to the parking lot of Maxwell's apartment, I felt butterflies in my stomach and grinned shyly to myself as I peered at the mirror to make sure my makeup was still on. It was a surprise visit. He informed me he had no intentions of going out that day after I had phoned him that morning to find out his schedule for the day. I rang the bell and chewed my lip, waiting for Maxwell to open the door. Maxwell was pleasantly surprised to s
Maxwell's povThe moment Amihan accepted to be my girlfriend was the happiest I have been in a long time. The thought of finally being with the woman that had swept me off my feet was overwhelming. I was happy that my mother had given me this task to protect the family's honor, and I also genuinely fell in love with someone I would always be in love with.Later that evening, Amihan grinned broadly as she lay there on the bed, her head resting on my chest, our clothes scattered all over the floor, and our empty wine glasses next to the bed.After our sex, I asked her to freshen up and when she came out she was pleasantly surprised to see that I had lit artificial candles in the bedroom and had scattered rose petals on the bed, I wanted nothing but to pleasure her and make her feel like the Queen she was. After giving her a glass of wine to help her unwind while I had a shower, we played an intense game of truth or dare using the previous set of cards, and as the game became more inte
Karl's povThe good news of Dalisay's pregnancy made my day; even if I've grown fond of her recently, I've always wanted to make certain of my position in her life, Although I am aware that Dalisay could eliminate me at any time if she discovers the truth, I will always have the advantage in favor of Anwil because of our child. From Dalisay and Luciana, the child will provide me with the shielding I need.Although I have started to let go of some of them recently due to Dalisay's actions, I am certain Luciana will never permit Dalisay to transfer the company to me because she is aware of my true ambitions and I know Luciana will never adjust; she knows me too well to accept me in any other way. However, I was curious about how Dalisay has adjusted to finally accepting me in her life. That's why I have to find a way to prevent Anwil from falling; otherwise, my long-term, hard-fought goals would be severely disrupted. I had to make sure I secured the cooperation of other companies, esp
