Judith's Pov. For the first time since we were paired, I felt blessed to have Maxwell as a teammate. The thought of how he had stood up for me when I felt we were going to lose our opportunity to get MR. Antonio's partnership made me feel guilty that I had fought against him being my teammate. Maxwell had bluntly refused to take the glory for a job well done and had made everyone feel I deserved the credit. He was kinder than I thought and also smarter, the fact that he was able to pull all of that with just one night was mind-blowing. As I sat in the taxi on my way to the hospital, my thoughts were dominated by how my day had gone and the triumph we had with Mr. Antonio. Mrs. Cecila had booked my appointment with the doctor for that day and I was still a bit skeptical about everything. Amihan had a point, it was best I took the test and found the truth about my identity rather than always trying to run from my shadow. The nurse on duty informed me that the doctor had jus
Dalisay POV. Karl has been distant from me since his last failed attempt for us to make love, even though he still managed to grin and strike up a brief conversation with me at the dinner table. After the weekend with Adams, I realized how insecure he felt about us, and no matter how often I assured him about my love for me, Nothing would change until we were finally together but that would be after I got my divorce from Karl. Karl has never offended me and even when I was at fault, he always had a way of making things right between us. Even with my constant refusal to have sex with him, Karl had never threatened to make it known to anyone or even blackmail me into involving the media. We had some arguments about how I continued refusing him access to my body and he still acted like all was well between us when we stepped out for an interview that day. The moment Karl saw me walking into our room, he stood up to leave, he had been avoiding me since I returned like a plague a
Karl's pov. I was astonished when Dalisay kissed me and placed her hands around my waist. I didn't want her to make a fool of me as usual. Even though a part of me wanted to push further, I refrained since I felt it was just going to end with nothing happening like our usual way. Dalisay wasn't drunk, it was a waste of time to give in. She stopped me as I made my way to the door to leave the room and made further advances when I gave in, I noticed she didn't resist and for the first time, I made love to her with no restriction. Dalisay knew more than I thought. She was good with her skills and had left me wanting more of her banging body. I tried my best to enjoy the moment with her since an opportunity like that may rarely or never come another time. I watched as she fell asleep after we had several rounds of sex, I gently kissed her and made my way to the balcony. (Can you come over? It's urgent,) A message notification popped in from Luciana. It was almost midnight
Dalisay's POV. I waited impatiently for the staff to gather as I roamed the board room in a frenzied manner. How in the world was it possible for such a large amount of money to disappear from the company's account without my supervision? The fund could not have left the account without my signature as CEO; Regina and I were the sole signatories. Regina better have a good explanation for this. My mother and Karl, who were on the board of directors, were among those seated in the boardroom a few minutes later. "Without my consent or signature, a substantial amount was taken unlawfully from the company's account. I replied fiercely, observing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces as they gazed at one another. "I wonder how that was possible in the first place and who did that," I muttered. I got more and more enraged as I observed them staring at each other. "Why isn't anyone speaking up? We're not here to gaze at one another; rather, we're here to identify the perpetrato
Karl's Pov. I had never seen Dalisay so furious with her mother. My suspicions were correct; Luciana had taken money out of the company's fund without her daughter's consent and I wondered what could be the excuse she would give when Dalisay was done investigating since I knew She would. For a moment, I had never realized that the man I had met in her apartment the previous night was not only one of her gigolos; he was the one who was seen with her on the footage. For all this time, I had assumed that my feelings for Dalisay were unfounded, but after our intimate moment last night, everything inside of me craved her, and I wasn't going to let anything stand in our way—not even Luciana. Dalisay was beginning to love me with how passionate she was with me last night and even that morning she had asked the maid to let her serve my breakfast. I was scared Dalisay would not hesitate to file for divorce if Luciana dared to inform her of my involvement in all of this. "What were you t
Judith's pov. "How do I look?" I spun around so Amihan would get a full view of my outfit. "You look stunning and breathtaking girl," As I would be the center of attention for the majority of the activities, I took extra time to get ready for the company's dinner date. "Your beautiful smile is a bonus," Amihan added as she noticed how excited I was. That morning, I felt energized and for the first time since my breakup with Jake, I was truly happy and optimistic about being around people. With Maxwell's help, I was able to attain such a height, and I felt grateful he came through at the very moment I needed him, the first thing I did that morning was to send him an appreciation text, which he responded to swiftly. Whenever his thought flashes through my mind, I catch myself smiling, instead of my typical frown, "What if he asks me to be his girlfriend?" I questioned inwardly and was shocked to hear Amihan giggle. "What's funny?" I questioned her, "Wait, did I say that loud
Maxwell's and Judith's Pov. (This chapter is written in the Third pov. )“Are you sure you want to hit the dancefloor in that outfit? You’re going to have a hard time keeping the guys away,” Maxwell warned, and Judith rolled her eyes. “I’ve seen ladies who are dressed sexier than I am in here like your busty admirer,” Judith said as she rose, and dragged Maxwell to the dance floor. Maxwell did everything within his power to avoid Judith's seductive advances as they danced. On a few occasions, she leaned on him and tried to kiss him but Maxwell stylishly ignored her and gulped down more alcohol to keep his mind busy and distracted from whatever Judith was trying to do. They both felt exhausted a while later with sweat dripping from their bodies, while Judith giggled a bit tipsy, as they made their way back to their seat. She had consumed more Alcohol even when Maxwell had tried to stop her. A few minutes later they were both laughing at each other's jokes as Judith tried to tune
Judith's pov. The next morning, a moan escaped my lips as i slowly opened my eyes and raised a hand to my head, which was banging severely. The ray of light coming inside the room from the window did not help as I was having a serious case of photosensitivity. My mouth and throat was dry, and i needed water as soon as possible. I slowly sat up on the bed and the first thing I did when my feet hit the ground was to put down the window blind. I didn’t need the light yet.Once I had done that i looked around the bedroom to take in my surrounding which looked a bit different. I guessed I had too much to drink last night and my head hurts badly. Thinking about last night I narrowed my eyes as i remembered the events that happened at the club and outside of it, and groaned softly and slapped my lips.How did I initiate the kiss with Maxwell? How did I lose my sense of reasoning to that extent? I grunted as I wondered what he would be thinking of me. I hope he didn't misunderstood
