Judith’s POV It’s been a gruelling month of working with Nathan, and I must confess that the demands of the work have been nothing short of exhausting. The responsibilities range from fixing meetings, conferences, and appointments to meticulously responding and sending emails. I doubted my ability to survive. But surprisingly, I have gradually mastered the role and adapted with each passing day. After the week, we had an impulsive kiss. I have made every effort not to be emotionally entangled with him. I tried to keep it strictly professional. I don't have a problem with the kiss itself; it is how he distanced himself from me afterward, like I were some sort of contagion, leaving me in an awkward situation. Love shouldn't be a priority for me. My children demand my attention; they should be the ones getting all my love and attention, but anytime I'm around him, my heart seems to beat faster, just like it once did with Felix, conveying some unknown feelings. Oh, Felix, I hope he's f
Nathan’s POV "Did I just confess my love for her?" The thought resonated through my mind, a realisation that had slowly dawned on me since the kiss. Since then, thoughts about her and the kids have occupied my mind more often. She seems to appear in my dreams at times and comfort me during my darkest moments. I understand perfectly that pursuing a relationship with her now might not be the best decision to make, yet the notion of delaying further feels like hell and deepens my misery. And the children—I long to be around them. The only promising way to do so is by being with her. "I love you, Judith," I repeated softly, gazing at her affectionately. She looked at me speechless, with shock clearly engraved on her face. "Erm, erm, Mr. Nathan," she stammered, then stopped talking before she composed herself. Mr. Nathan, I don't think so. Just because we kissed doesn't mean we are in love. That was just a fleeting moment of lust." "Judith, this isn't lust." I countered, gently cares
Judith’s POV Judith’s POV The fact that I am deeply and irrevocably in love with Nathan can't be disputed anymore. My love for him is undeniable, and ever since he confessed his feelings, I have been pondering whether to give our relationship a chance. His affection extends not only to me but also to my children, as he keeps showering them with gifts. That's precisely the kind of man I desire—a man who will cherish my kids just as much as he cherishes me. It has been three weeks of dating Nathan, and our relationship has gone through some challenges, especially as the rumour about us has already spread like wildfire throughout the hospital, making me the centre of gossip amongst the employees. Few approved the relationship, saying I was lucky to be dating a perfect billionaire, who is every woman’s dream. While many others tagged me a gold digger and a seductress, accusing me of seducing and cornering him for my gain,. But their approval or disdain no longer holds any importanc
I stood frozen, as though I had just encountered a ghost. The man before me was no other person than Felix, the one I once loved and almost married—the same one who abandoned me on the altar three years ago. And now, here he was, standing before me, smiling broadly as if nothing had transpired between us."Mommy, who is there?" Olivia asked as she ran towards me.Still speechless, I involuntarily pulled her close, while Oliver joined us a moment later."Mommy, who is this?" Oliver asked, his eyes staring into mine, expecting a response.“It’s... it's a friend of mine," I struggled to say, stammering. My voice betrayed my uneasiness."How are you, kids?" he said, waving and smiling at them."Fine," they chorused. "What are you doing here?" I demanded steely, as I managed to maintain my composure."Judith, can I at least come in?" He asked softly, still smiling, and I was already getting infuriated. I don't seem to understand what the smile was all about."Come in," I said, and I move
"How dare you try to jeopardise the business deal I've been pursuing tirelessly for months?" John shouted furiously the moment I entered the office. "John, I'm not trying to sabotage the deal. I'm simply not funding it," I responded calmly, while unbuttoning my suit. "I you have the resources, then you can do the business.".“You seem to forget I'm also an Everton; I shouldn't be begging for business funds like this," he retorted, slamming the table with his fist."Don't you dare try to create a nuisance in my office. I'm not going to tolerate your presence and your shady business deals anymore," I snapped back, my patience wearing out gradually."You are an Everton, and you should start behaving like one. All Evertons are smart and resourceful. If you present a better business proposal, then I will support you and give you all the funds you need," I said with a note of finality, settling into my chair."You are going to regret this, Nathan. I'm going to pay you back in ten folds
Recently, following Nathan's discussion of marriage, I found my thoughts instinctively preoccupied with the events of the past.**Four years ago**In the luxurious and beautifully furnished living room, Felix and I were entangled in each other's arms, his hands delicately fondling my breasts, and fully engrossed in a movie. Our beautiful moment was interrupted by a knock on the door. It was Davy, Felix's gateman.He requested an audience with Felix, to which Felix obliged and reluctantly disentangled from the embrace and walked towards the door with the intention of attending to him by the door since I was just in diaphanous lingerie."Who is it?" Felix enquired, his voice resonating with calm authority.It's me, "Davy."However, upon unlocking the door, we were met with an unexpected and horrific sight. Davy wasn't alone. The situation went sour when five masked men, reeking of alcohol and cigarettes, stormed in. Davy was knocked unconscious by a heavy blow on the head, his body coll
Judith's POVI am not entirely convinced that agreeing to marry Nathan is the best course of action. Although I am uncertain about my own desires, I'm definitely reluctant about entering into marriage. Marriage is no child's play, as it is a serious commitment that requires considerable effort and dedication, qualities that I'm not sure I possess.I shared the development with my mother and Vanessa, and they were both delighted to hear about it.“I’m so happy for you, Judith. I'm glad to see you are finally moving forward," mom said excitedly. “You have my blessings, my dear," she added before ending the call.“Oh! My girl is about to become a wife!" Vanessa exclaimed. "When is the wedding date?" She asked with a sense of urgency.“Calm down, Van; he hasn't even proposed yet; he just wants to know my opinion about it. To know if I'm open to it," I replied.“And what is your opinion, girl?” She asked, her tone now composed.“I don't know, Van. Honestly, I'm unsure of what I truly want,
Nathan's POV "Are you certain that you really love this woman?” Father enquired as we retreated into his study."Yes, father, I am deeply in love with her,” I answered affirmatively.“I’m not going to object to it. I understand that there's a huge difference in class, but since you are so resolute and genuine in your affection towards her, I'm going to support it," he declared.“Thanks so much, father. "I thanked him. “I hope you will be able to protect and love her better than I did for your mother,” he said, his expression sorrowful. “Your mother went through a lot with my family. She was humiliated, but despite all that, she stood by me still. When I was told she eloped with another man, I should have tried to look for her and ascertain the truth," he lamented with regret.“I was a fool. I didn't trust my woman enough. I wish I could turn back the hands of time; I would have made a better choice. She wouldn't have died just like that,” he said, and he adjusted his glasses. ”I hop
