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

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

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. "

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

Judith's pov. The past two weeks in New York had been wonderful, thanks to my dad. He made my visit so special and memorable. I didn't want to leave him and go back home. It was hard to say goodbye to him, knowing that I wouldn't see him for a while. My dad and I had such a wonderful time in New York, and it was hard to say goodbye. My father had insisted that I get my own car and apartment in the Philippines when I returned, but I didn't want to take advantage of his generosity. He was persistent in his insistence, I finally agreed to get a car but refused to move out of my current place since I wouldn't want to be apart from Amihan and I didn't want to be beholden to him any more than I already was.The knowledge that my car was waiting for me in the Philippines was a constant reminder of how lucky I was to have my father in my life. He had always been generous and supportive, and I felt incredibly grateful for his love and care. No matter what happened in my life, I knew I could
