CHAOTIC LOVE-The CEO's worst nightmare. Â Â Â Heartbroken.
Maxwell's pov. With the way Judith smiled at me and looked excited when I walked into the hall that morning I knew nothing had changed. It was apparent I had a big issue at hand, and hoped I could fix it before it was too late. After the dinner my mother and Judith had together, it was clear that her feelings for me had only grown stronger. I knew that whatever they had discussed must have led to all of these. I felt overwhelmed by the stress and worry of the situation.When I first saw her that morning, I felt a wave of relief wash over me. I was glad she was back, and I needed to have a serious talk with her to clear the air.I had purposely ignored her messages, hoping that it would make her realize that I wasn't interested in her. Yet, instead of understanding my silence, she seemed to interpret it as a sign of my affection. It was time to clear up the misunderstandingIt was alarming to see how differently Judith was behaving towards me. This wasn't the strong, independent lady
CHAOTIC LOVE-The CEO's worst nightmare. Â Â Â Mixed feeling.
Maxwell's POV, After Judith left, I felt dazed and overwhelmed with guilt. I knew she didn't deserve to be treated that way, and I wished I could find the right words to tell her how sorry I was for everything that had happened. I thought about going after her, but I knew it would only make her more upset. I didn't want to create a scene in the office or make the situation any worse than it already was. While we spoke in the canteen, I noticed that some of my coworkers were trying to eavesdrop on our conversation. They must have noticed that Judith was tense and were curious about what was going on. To try to calm the situation, I spoke in a low voice, hoping that no one else would hear what we were saying. The thought of Judith finding out that the woman I love is her best friend Amihan, and that I've chosen Amihan over her, fills me with dread. Would that make Judith finally let go and forgive me? What if it only made her hate me even more? I doubt Amihan would want to have anyt
CHAOTIC LOVE-The CEO's worst nightmare. Â Â Â Mother and Son
Victoria's Pov, Since Judith's visit, her image has been stuck in my mind. I couldn't stop thinking about her and the similarities between us. She brought back memories of my younger self, when, as the only daughter, all I wanted was at my beck and call, I felt like the world revolved around me, and that nothing was ever difficult or out of reach. My whole world changed after my parent's demise and my brothers took control of the family property. It was a time of turmoil and uncertainty, as I struggled to adapt to the new reality and chart a course for the future. I felt overwhelmed and disoriented, unsure of what to do next. Marrying Raymond, who showered me with care and generosity, was one of the wisest choices I ever made. He was a source of comfort and stability, provided for all my needs, and made me feel safe and secure. He made me feel loved and protected, just like my parents had when they were alive. After his passing, life felt much harder and lonelier, especially with o

Amihan's POV, When I saw Judith emerge from the company building fifteen minutes after I arrived at the parking lot, it was immediately apparent that something was wrong. Her eyes were red and puffy as if she had been crying. I got out of my car and approached her, my heart pounding with worries. “What's wrong, my dear?” I asked with concern, and she nodded, her eyes filling with tears once again. “Let's get in the car,” she said in a calm but tremulous voice, “I would rather not create a scene — my colleagues are coming out soon.”What happened?” I asked, my voice betraying my growing impatience and anxiety. I was ready to take on whoever had done this to her, be it a colleague or even the CEO himself. Judith was one person I wouldn't let anyone hurt. “It's my annoying colleague,” she said, her voice trembling as she struggled to hold back her tears. “What did he do?” I inquired, my curiosity growing stronger with every passing second. “I was blinded by my naïveté, believing t

Amihan's POV, As I walked into Anwil's premises on that sunny Tuesday afternoon, I noticed that something was off. The usually bustling office complex was eerily quiet, with hardly any people in sight. The atmosphere was one of stillness, as if time had stood still.The Company's complex was a far cry from the bustling hive of activity that it used to be when my parents were in charge. Now, it was as if the life had been sucked out of the building, leaving behind only an empty shell. “Hello, Miss Amihan,” Dalisay's secretary greeted me with a warm smile. “Hello,” I replied, returning her smile.“Mrs. Karl asked me to escort you to her office as soon as you arrived, since the other board members have not yet arrived for the meeting,” the secretary said, gesturing for me to follow her. Earlier that day, I called Dalisay to inquire about the date of the next board meeting, and I was relieved to learn that it was scheduled for the afternoon. “Hello, Mrs. Karl,” I greeted with a feign

Dalisay pov, A few minutes later, everyone was gracefully seated in the conference hall. My mom and Karl are inclusive. For some weird reason, I was beginning to love Amihan's personality. her eyes darted around the room with curiosity and intelligence. I couldn't help but smile - she reminded me so much of my late best friend, Annabel.The financial secretary, her eyes scanning the crowd as she prepared to present her analysis. She was poised and professional, her confidence evident in the way she carried herself. Her voice was clear and strong as she began her presentation, her words carrying throughout the hall. She laid out the financial data for the past six months, painting a picture of the company's financial strength. I could feel the tension in the room, the air crackling with anticipation as she spoke. It was clear that everyone was hanging on her every word, eager to know what the numbers revealed.As I looked around the room, I saw disappointment and shock on the fac
CHAOTIC LOVE-The CEO's worst nightmare. Â Â Â A new idea.
Dalisay's pov, "I have decided to liquidate some of the assets to raise capital for the company," I declared solemnly as we sat down for dinner. The dining hall fell silent as my words hung in the air. My mom and Karl looked at me in disbelief, their mouths agape. They had no idea what to say. "I know this may come as a shock," I continued, "but it is a necessary step if we are to keep the company afloat. We must make sacrifices to ensure the future of the business." My mother's eyes widened in disbelief, her brows furrowed in concern. My husband's face was contorted with confusion, his mouth agape. They both looked at me as if I had just uttered blasphemy, their disbelief and skepticism palpable. I could tell they were not pleased with my announcement, but I was determined to remain resolute, knowing that this was the only way to ensure the company's survival."It's the best idea I can think of right now, " I took a deep breath as I continued to explain my reasoning, hoping the
CHAOTIC LOVE-The CEO's worst nightmare. Â Â Â A change in power
Luciana's Pov, "What's going on, Dali?" I asked, my voice tight with irritation as I watched Karl excuse himself from the table after Dinner. It seemed odd that Dalisay would entrust such a significant task to Karl, especially given his lack of experience in real estate. I couldn't help but wonder if her change of heart was due to her growing affection for him, perhaps brought on by her pregnancy. Alternatively, she could have simply been feeling overwhelmed by the responsibility of managing the family's properties and was looking for a way to offload some of the stress. But regardless of the reason, the decision to put Karl in charge was certainly a wrong one. "Mom, please don't start again, I thought we'd agreed to put this topic to rest," Dalisay said wearily, clearly exhausted. I could sense her frustration, but I couldn't let the matter go without some resolution."I just need to know, are you trying to give Karl more power than me in the company?" I asked my tone firm and in

CHAOTIC LOVE-The CEO's worst nightmare. Â Â Â A peaceful end
Amihan's POV, I tried to sit up, but the pain in my head and stomach was excruciating. I could feel the grogginess of sleep slowly fading away, and I became aware of my surroundings. It was a hospital room, and the memory of the shooting came flooding back. "Mom," I said weakly, my voice hoarse from disuse. "Where is Dalisay?""Dalisay's getting the best care possible, honey," my mom said, her voice gentle and soothing. But even as she spoke, I couldn't help but sob. I felt so guilty, knowing that Dalisay had risked her life to save me."She's going to be okay," my mom said, rubbing my back comfortingly. "And you're going to be okay too. We're all going to get through this together."I wanted to believe her, but my emotions were still too raw. I couldn't stop crying. My gaze shifted to the corner of the room, and I saw Judith standing next to my father. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked like she had been crying.

Two weeks later, Judith's POV, The last two weeks had been a blur of pain and anguish. My best friend, Amihan, lay comatose in the hospital, clinging to life by a thread same as Dalisay. I blamed myself for everything that had happened. It was my selfish desire for Maxwell that had caused all of this. I had been so jealous of Amihan's relationship with him, that I had pushed her to move into the mansion, even though I knew it was dangerous. And now she was fighting for her life, while I was left with nothing but regret and guilt."Judith, you look exhausted," Amihan's mother said, her face filled with concern. "Why don't you go home and get some rest? You've been here at the hospital for days now."As soon as they had received news of Amihan's incident, her Foster parents had flown down from New York, arriving the next day. They had been at the hospital ever since, taking turns to stay with Amihan. She was right. I hadn't slept in days, and I was running on empty. But I didn't want

Because as long as I'm concerned, everyone of you here are suspect, and I'm going to get you all arrested." Maxwell responded unflinchingly, without any iota of panic in him, his expression was grimly as he spoke making everyone shift uneasily on their spot, except Luciana who had been sitting quietly with her fingers resting on her

His eyes blazed with anger, and his frustration was palpable. "Who was the last person to see her? I need answers, and I need them now!"As I rolled my eyes in thought, a sudden realization hit me. It dawned on me that my mother could be behind Amihan's disappearance. My eyes widened in horror, and I bit my lip, trying to keep my composure. I knew that if I let my emotions get the best of me, this man would see through my facade. "Please calm down, we'll get to the bottom of...""I can't calm down!" he shouted, cutting me off in mid-sentence. His breathing was labored, and his eyes flashed with anger.

I tried to make out what she was saying, but it was impossible. I needed to find a quiet place to take the call.I began to look around for a secluded spot, but the airport was crowded and bustling with activity. Everywhere I looked, people were rushing around, their voices blending together into a cacophony of sound.

Are you there?""I'm here," she said, her voice trembling. "Please...help me." And then, the line went dead.My heart sank, and I felt a wave of panic wash over me. What had happened?

Amihan's POV, "Bella, please wait!" I heard Adam's voice calling after me as I ran from the mansion, but I ignored him. I didn't want to talk to anyone, I just wanted to be alone. "Leave me alone!" I shouted, not even bothering to turn around. I just kept running, my feet carrying me further and further away from the pain and the betrayal.My heart thumped as I hurried away from the mansion, its weight pressing against my chest as if to crush me.

Karl's POV,"Where do you think you're going, sneaking off like that?" Luciana's voice rang out behind me, causing me to freeze in my tracks. She was sitting comfortably, cigarette in hand, a smirk on her lips. I felt like a deer caught in headlights, and I knew I had to think of something quickly."You're... here," I managed to stammer out, trying to regain my composure and collect my thoughts."I was just... I was just getting some fresh air," I stammered, my voice trembling with nerves. "Of course I'm here," she replied, a mocking smile playing on her lips. Her gaze was fixed intently on me, as if she were sizing me up, her eyes boring into mine. "I've always been here, and my eyes have always been on you."I felt myself flush under her gaze, feeling like a bug under a microscope. I knew I had to say something, anything, to break the silence that was hanging heavy in the air. But I couldn't think of a single thing to say."You have something urgent to take care of?" she asked, rais
