Dalisay's POV,

After putting the mansion up for sale, I was relieved to see that many interested buyers were vying for the opportunity to own such a luxurious property. I felt proud of myself for being able to come up with a solution that would save the company, and for the first time in my life, I was able to stand up for what I believed in despite the disapproval of my mother and Karl. It was a moment of triumph, and I knew that I had finally found the courage to do what I thought was right, even in the face of opposition.

"If this is what will make you happy, my love, then I am all for it," Karl said to me after I had taken the time to explain my reasoning to him. His willingness to support me, even though it went against his initial wishes, made me feel loved and appreciated.

    Amihan's POV, It was a long, sleepless night. The minutes ticked by slowly, seeming to stretch on for an eternity. I tossed and turned, my mind racing with thoughts of the previous day's events. I kept checking my phone, hoping for a message or call from Judith, but nothing came. The darkness of the night seemed endless, and I longed for the relief of morning. Finally, at three in the morning, I drifted off into a fitful sleep. But it was short-lived, as the shrill ringing of my alarm jolted me awake at five-thirty. I felt exhausted, my body heavy with fatigue which was the least of my concern. My sleep had been fitful and short, and I felt like I could have slept for hours more. However, the knowledge that I had received no response from my friend throughout the night gave me the strength to push myself out of bed. I sat up slowly, my head pounding as if someone were driving a nail into my skull. I leaned back against the headboard, supporting my head with my hand as I closed my ey

    Judith's POV, As I heard Amihan's voice outside my door, a feeling of resentment welled up inside of me. A feeling I had never experienced with her before. Even though I had managed to respond to her to get her off my back that morning, I hated the fact that she was my rival. It seemed to me that Amihan always had it easy, while I always had to fight tooth and nail for everything I wanted. Her relationships ended on her terms, while mine always seemed to end in heartbreak. I felt like she got to coast through life, while I was stuck trudging through the mud. I was so tired of always being the one who had to work so hard, while she just seemed to float along, untouched by the struggles of life. It was like she was living in a different world, one where everything was handed to her on a silver platter. And it wasn't fair.The thought of letting Maxwell get away with toying with my emotions filled me with a sense of helpless rage. I couldn't bear the thought of facing my coworkers looki

Some of our coworkers who had seen what happened were whispering and pointing, and I felt the blood rush to my face in embarrassment. I had never been hit before, not even by my parents as a child. But as I looked at her, I knew I was to blame for her actions. I had hurt her, and now I had to try to make it right.I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came out. What could I possibly say to make this better? How could I explain what had happened, when I barely understood it myself? I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart and clear my head, "I'm so sorry," I finally managed to say, my voice barely a whisper, "I never meant to hurt you." I looked at her, pleading with my eyes for forgiveness. But her expression rem

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.
