Amihan's POV, As I listened to Judith's questions, I felt a little uneasy, her questions were so probing, and her tone was laced with some touch of bitterness, I couldn't place why, The look on her face was so mean as well like she and Maxwell had been a sworn enemy even though she tried to cover it up with her laughter, but I saw through her and I knew something was off,A part of me felt bad about how she had insinuated those things about my boyfriend but I also understood she was going through a tough time, and maybe that was why she behaved the way she did."That was one of the most delicious meals I've had in a while," Maxwell said, his eyes shining with gratitude.I smiled, a bit taken aback by his kind words. "You're too kind," I said, not wanting to accept the compliment. "But you're quite the chef yourself."I started clearing the table, hoping to diffuse the tension that had been building. I didn't want things to get awkward. "Let me help you with those" he offered,"Plea
Judith's POV,My footsteps were quick and hurried as I made my way out of the house. It was like I had a purpose, a mission to complete. I had to get away from that place, from those people whom I once found solace. They were like a poison, seeping into my veins, slowly killing me from the inside. I needed to escape.I got to my car breathing heavily from the hurt I was feeling inside, "These people came to mock me tonight, how dare them do this to me, they'll pay, I'll surely make them pay for what they've done to me and for all they're making me go through," with my teeth clinched I swore to get back at them, my fist were set as well as if I was bracing up for a fist fight. I slammed the door in anger as I got into my car, the same determination of revenge that had held me, drove me off that sight irrespective of the speed limit, with no destination in mind, I stepped on, I just wanted to go far, far from home, far from the pretentious scene at home, far from the people who backs
Judith's POV,I never imagined that I would be able to experience joy and happiness again after the recent turmoil in my life. I had resigned myself to the idea that I would never feel at peace or ease again, but being in Carter's arms, in this moment, all of my worries and pain seemed to fade away. I saw the passion and great care in his eyes, how he had handled me like a great treasure, and just right there, I knew I could move on from all the hurt and pains that I had been dwelling in, I knew I had found the strength and courage I needed to put those things behind. I woke up with my head resting on his chest, I could hear his heartbeat as he lay asleep, it was calm and peaceful.His hands were still carefully wrapped around me, as we both cuddled into sleep, I felt my heart beat according to his rhythm, and like a synchrony, even though I was yet to know what it held, I knew it was the beginning of something new, "the beginning of a new me," the thought of it brought smiles to my
Amihan's POV,As I reminisced about my childhood, I felt a pang of nostalgia about how the past years have been. But at the same time, I was filled with a sense of excitement and pride at how far I had come, from a little girl with a big dream to a woman on the verge of making it come true. I knew that reclaiming my family's Mansion was a huge step in fulfilling my vision, and I was determined to take it slow and steady, savoring every moment along the way.The wind blew through my hair, and I closed my eyes, breathing in the familiar scent of the place I once called home. As I drove down the winding road toward my family's estate, a flood of memories came rushing back. I could almost feel the warm summer breeze that used to blow through the open windows of my car.The familiar street leading up to "The Williams Ville" brought me back to the days when I would run down it, carefree and full of excitement. I saw the old tree, still standing tall and proud, and the garden that had once
Dalisay's POV, I kept pacing front and back in my office, waiting for the arrival of my mom, all the while, I was unable to calm my already agitated nerves down, there was something like a nudge in my heart that I could not push down, it kept rising, filling me with fear and worry."My mom shouldn't have visited him," I mused aloud, voicing my thoughts and fears. "It could put everything we've worked so hard for at risk," I continued, my arms outstretched in a gesture of exasperation. "I'm not sure what to do," I concluded, feeling helpless and uncertain about the future. I looked around the room, as if searching for an answer, but found only silence.As I was lost in a sea of thoughts and possibilities, consumed by what could go wrong, my mother entered the room, her demeanor serene and calm, seemingly oblivious to the maelstrom of anxiety I was feeling. I looked at her, my mind racing with questions, and yet unable to form the words to ask them. I was feeling lost and uncertain, an
Judith's POV,It was hard to get the memory of the previous night out of my head. The feeling of being with Carter, the moments we shared, the passion we had for each other - it was all still there, as vivid as ever. I wished the night could have lasted forever, but I knew that was impossible. And yet, I couldn't help but wonder if there could ever be something more between us. I knew my feelings were complicated and messy, but I couldn't deny the connection I had felt with him."Hey babe," Carter said in a low, seductive voice the moment I picked up his call. "Excuse me?" I said, taken aback by his greeting. I didn't like the assumption that we were in a relationship, and his tone was more than a little inappropriate.There was a pause on the other end of the line. "Uh, sorry," he said, sounding sheepish. "I didn't mean to offend you. I just... I just thought that... well, never mind."I could tell he was embarrassed, and I felt a bit bad for him. "It's okay," I said. Carter's fee
Amihan's POV,As I drove to work that very day from "The Williams Ville," I felt a calm sensation wash over me, the peace that stems from a sense of achievement, I couldn't deny where it came from, I felt contented with the mile I had reached, which also motivated me to pursue my other goals, I had found an inner strength and it came from the joy of knowing that I was closer to recovering all that was stolen from me than I was before.I got to work that very day basking in the euphoria of my present reality, I scaled through all my schedules with ease, feeling like, there was a sudden pump of Adrenaline into my cells that had turned me into a superwoman. As I drove back home from work that day, the thought of recovering the company filled my heart, I thought about my next line of action, but was unable to wrap my head around something, I finally decided to not let it bother me for now and dwell in this peace I was feeling inside, I found satisfaction in believing that another opportu
Amihan's POV, My mom's words were simple, but they struck a chord deep within me. She was right - if he couldn't accept me for who I was, then he wasn't the one for me. But the thought of opening up about my past was still daunting."I know it's not easy," my mother continued. "But it's better to be honest from the start. That way, there are no secrets or surprises down the road. And if he does react badly, then you know he's not the right person for you."She was right, of course. But the thought of telling him still made me nervous."How about this?" my mother suggested. "Why don't you try telling him a little bit about your past at a time? Start with something small, like a childhood memory. Then, as you get more comfortable, you can share more. Baby steps, you know?"I thought about her suggestion. Maybe that would be easier, to start small and see how he reacted. And if he was supportive, then I could share more. It might be the best way to ease into it."That's a good idea, Mom
