CHAOTIC LOVE-The CEO's worst nightmare. Â Â Â One sided love
Judith's POV, The fact that Maxwell didn't deny his love for Amihan left me feeling deeply betrayed. It seemed that he had intentionally used me as a means to an end - to get his family business back on track. The thought that I had been used in such a cold and calculating way left me feeling deeply hurt and angry. I was left wondering how I could have been so blind to his true intentions.As I reflected on the situation, I realized that there had been several red flags that I had ignored. There had been subtle signs that something was not quite right, but I had been too blinded by my desires to see them. Even with how I threatened to bring down his family company, Maxwell seemed unfazed. It was as if he didn't care about the consequences of my actions or the potential damage to his reputation and legacy. It was a startling realization, and it made me question everything I thought I knew about him.I had always assumed that he was driven by a desire for power and success, but thi

I asked, already anticipating the answer to be something I wouldn't want to hear."We need to talk," she replied, the tremble in her voice betraying her distress. I felt a knot forming in my stomach. "Can this wait until tomorrow? Amihan is here," I whispered, hoping to delay the inevitable. But my request only seemed to aggravate her further."No, it can't wait," she said emphatically, her voice rising in volume. "This is about you putting Amihan above me, about you protecting her and leaving me in the dust. I deserve better than that." She said furiously. before I could reply, she continued, her tone laced with anger and hurt."I'm tired of being second best, of being left out in the cold. It

Amihan's POV, As I luxuriated in the warm water of the bath, I could hear muffled voices coming from the front door. I strained to make out the words, but they were too indistinct to understand. But as the conversation continued, I could tell by the tone that it was an argument. I wondered who Maxwell was talking to, and what they were arguing about. The thought that I might be interrupting a private conversation crossed my mind, but the possibility that someone was in distress pushed that thought aside. My mind was reeling as I stepped out of the bathroom and made my way towards the front door where Maxwell was expecting to see his Neighbour or a stranger, To my astonishment, it was none other than my best friend, Judith. My brain raced to make sense of the situation, but I was at a loss. Had something happened to her? How did she know Maxwell's place? Were the whispers I heard the sound of an argument, or perhaps it was just the water from the shower echoing in the bathroom? Ev

I was taken aback by her presence, and I wondered how long she had been standing there, unnoticed. "How long have you been there?" I asked, still a bit shaken by her sudden appearance."You gave me quite a scare, Mom!" I exclaimed, holding my chest, "I didn't hear you come in. How did you get in without making a sound?" She just smiled, amused by my reaction. "I must be getting better at sneaking up on you," she teased. "Or maybe you're just a bit too absorbed in your thoughts." She said calm
