Judith POV

Upon waking up that morning, I was overwhelmed with emotions, unsure of how to respond to the reality that I would finally be meeting my father and being accepted into a family I had never met before. The thought of being the daughter of my biological father is both terrifying and magnificent.

The previous day, my father had called to tell me that his driver would arrive at the house by eight in the morning to take me. He had turned down every offer from me to commute alone, stating that it would ease his anxieties to know that his driver was taking me home in a grande style.

I was so anxious about the whole event and how it would go that I was unable to get enough sleep. Until four this morning, I was able to get a longer stretch of sleep. The gentle sun ray that escaped the curtain to my face reminded me that it was day already and I had things to do.

    Amihan's pov.My phone rang, interrupting my sleep, as I groggily groped for it. My day at work was hectic, and as I was about to turn in for the night after finishing up with some paperwork, Judith called. Due to the time difference, we had been communicating more via text rather than phone calls because I was either too busy during the day or fatigued when she got the chance to call."Hey bes, Good evening," I greeted as I got up to wash my face in the bathroom. My eyes were heavy with sleep. We had not spoken in days, so I knew our chat would be lengthy because we both had a lot to talk about.Judith answered, "First of all, it's morning over here; you would have just said hi," to which we both chuckled."I apologize for waking you up from your beauty sleep," She said apologetically and I smiled. "It's fine. I've missed hearing your voice so I won't penalize you," I teased as she giggled. Ever since my last visit to Maxwell, I have been somewhat troubled and upset about how I re

    Judith's POV."I was afraid you'd lost your way in the mansion being you ain't used to such, dear cousin," Charlotte said to ridicule me the moment she saw me approaching.The last thing was to give Charlotte the joy of discrediting me, not after what Amihan had said. Charlotte was nasty, and I knew that giving in to her demands would be the worst thing I could do. It was important to fix the way she behaved now before it was too late.."I don't easily forget things and that's why I've always succeeded in all I do," I answered with a conceited smile that caused her to scowl."She's just like her mother," Dad complimented and I smiled. "Beautiful vibrant Judith of blessed memory, You are your mother's replica," Lithina said and held my hands."Now that we have my much-anticipated cousin of mine, and your lawyer is also present here, what's stopping us from having the long overdue conversation about the company's allocation, Dear Uncle," Charlotte said With a strange, unauthentic smi

    Amihan's pov.As I drove to Maxwell's apartment on Wednesday, I couldn't control the tremendous sense of excitement that welled up inside of me. The prospect of being in a relationship that had swept me off my feet after all these years made me happy because I was now ready to accept him. I laughed to myself remembering the disappointed expression on his face the day I had denied his request and now it would be worth the wait. Maxwell was accustomed to my natural look, so that day I decided to do something different with my makeup. As soon as I got to the parking lot of Maxwell's apartment, I felt butterflies in my stomach and grinned shyly to myself as I peered at the mirror to make sure my makeup was still on. It was a surprise visit. He informed me he had no intentions of going out that day after I had phoned him that morning to find out his schedule for the day. I rang the bell and chewed my lip, waiting for Maxwell to open the door. Maxwell was pleasantly surprised to s

After giving her a glass of wine to help her unwind while I had a shower, we played an intense game of truth or dare using the previous set of cards, and as the game became more inte

From Dalisay and Luciana, the child will provide me with the shielding I need.Although I have started to let go of some of them recently due to Dalisay's actions, I am certain Luciana will never permit Dalisay to transfer the company to me because she is aware of my true ambitions and I know Luciana will never adjust; she knows me too well to accept me in any other way. However, I was curious about how Dalisay has adjusted to finally accepting me in her life. That's why I have to find a way to prevent Anwil from falling; otherwise, my long-term, hard-fought goals would be severely disrupted. I had to make sure I secured the cooperation of other companies, esp

    Judith's pov"WOW!" I exclaimed simultaneously the moment my dad led me into his workroom where he spent time drawing and painting at his leisure. "This is how I keep myself occupied when I'm less busy," He said with a smile. "This is beautiful Dad," I said. “Your mom made me fall in love with Art. I thought my eyes would pop out from its socket the first time I entered her art gallery in your grandfather's house, and guess what? Even now I still feel the same way each time I walk through the door. I miss her so much and this is one way I have kept her close all these years,” My dad said with a deep sigh as he looked around the room. It was obvious that whatever it was my parents both shared was beautiful. I could tell his love for her was everything he wanted. “The studio is like a work of art itself. An architectural work of art,” I said and He beamed a smile at me. “Yeah. It was designed in memory of your mom, I made sure it looked exactly like the one in her father's house

When I reached Amihan's picture, the one I had taken the day before during our private moment, a smile sprang out of my mouth. I laughed, "She looks more beautiful when she sleeps," as I zoomed in and out of the photos to capture every last detail.I put down my phone and let my thoughts drift back to yesterday, to our lovely moment together and the way we both solidified our relationship. I felt like a winner who had just taken home a trophy when I considered the possibility of us becoming a legal couple. When I checked my phone and saw that it was my mother on the line, I realized how wide my smile had been. Despite knowing a part of the reason she called, my heart didn't miss a beat this time."Hey Mom" I greeted in excitement. "Hey Max, it's been a while, how're you doing" she returned the gesture.

I had suggested an Amusement park outing while he had wanted a game arcade.The two venues were not far from each other, we had an agreement that whoever arrived on time, would choose the venue to hang out. I had arrived two minutes earlier than him. "I know that's a smile of victory," He said as he walked towards me smiling. We hugged each other and walked into the park holding hands.

    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. I felt a surge of anger well up inside of me."What is sh

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.

Because as long as I'm concerned, everyone of you here are suspect, and I'm going to get you all arrested."

"Leave me alone!" I shouted, not even bothering to turn around.

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.
