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

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

Dalisay's POV.Days had passed since my last meeting with Adams, but I couldn't seem to stop thinking about what had transpired. The event was surreal and disturbing, but what confused me more was his change in demeanor. It was as if he had become a different person overnight, and I was left wondering if I had truly understood who he was in the first place. The whole experience had left me feeling unsettled and unsure of what to think.My thoughts were racing with questions about his transformation, and I was unable to make sense of it all. While I was happy that he had seemingly changed for the better, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that came with it. There was a part of me that wanted to know how this change had occurred, and why it had happened so suddenly. I felt like there was a missing piece of the puzzle, and I was determined to find it. My thoughts were so consuming that I didn't hear the door open, and I was startled when I realized Karl was standing in front of me I

Dalisay's POV,As I paced back and forth in my room, my conversation with Adam left me feeling unsettled and uncertain, and I couldn't seem to shake the fear in my heart off. I was so wrapped up in my thoughts that I didn't even notice when my mother came into the room. She had decided to move in with us after we made the difficult decision to sell her mansion, along with the two other mansions.I turned around, and there stood my mother, her arms crossed over her chest, her eyes fixed on me. 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

Carter's POV,As her lips met mine I felt a cool sensation. I had dreamed of this moment ever since our last night together and now it was finally happening. I had always had a crush on her, and now it seemed like my feelings might be reciprocated. I returned the kiss, my heart racing as I explored the contours of her lips and I found myself getting lost in the moment. Although I knew I had to be careful, to be sure that she felt the same way before I let myself get too carried away, I had to be sure that we were on the same page.Her abrupt withdrawal from the kiss left me reeling, unsure of what to make of the situation. Had I done something wrong? Had I been too aggressive? Too shy? I racked my brain, trying to figure out what could have possibly caused her to pull away in such a manner. I felt a wave of embarrassment wash over me, it was the first time I was kissing a lady. I might not be the most experienced kisser, but I was determined to improve."How dare you!" she shouted, he
