VALERIE’S POV“Just go down the left, Ma’am! She is currently in our OR” A nurse at the kids ward said to me, pointing at a corner in front. And immediately, I thanked her, hurrying off with Miley in my arms. The boys right behind us, alongside Rosey and the other maid that had joined in the car earlier.“Excuse me! Hello?” a man dressed in a white coat called out a few minutes after we arrived at the spot the nurse had pointed. “Please slow down, what are you here for?”“A little girl!” I responded quickly; my hands panicky as I handed over the card I received from the nurse in front. “Abrille Rodriguiez”“Yes!” I exclaimed,“Is she okay?! Please tell us she’s okay!” Rosey followed right after.“She will be!” The doctor assured, showing us to comfortable chairs to wait on. “Don’t panic! Just wait right here, and her doctor will come to explain her situation to you”His words seemed soothing, his white coat adding more to ease our hearts. At least at the moment.“I’m scared, mommy” Mi

VALERIE’S POV“What? Ma-madame Charlotte?”“Yes Rosey! And we need to get moving right now, she couldn’t have gone far” I responded seriously, walking past her as I hurried back into the yard. Her footsteps echoing behind me, right after closing the walls she opened of course but that was by the way.“We need to catch up with her before she leaves the estate!” I sounded aloud, hastening my steps towards the front yard where my kids and a maid stood waiting for me.The sight of them alone, waiting eagerly for me only filled me with renewed strength to get Abrille. My phone!” I called out, hurrying towards them. “Get me my phone, please”The maid did as told, that by the time I got to them, my phone was out and ready for me. Immediately, I dialed the Estate’s security line. My mission, to get them to lock the gates so no one leaves! “Hi! I am Valerie Hernandez, building 10 and I need you to shut the gates right now! Someone just kidnapped my daughter and she is trying to leave. Make sur

VALERIE’S POV“Mommy, are you ready yet?”“No, sweetie. But I’m almost done!” I responded, trying another set of earrings.“Ohhm” he groaned softly at my response, making me smile because I knew he was doing the whiny dance again, where he stomps his foot around in circles as he complained. It was supposed to be some sort of protest, but I just couldn’t help the chuckles that leaves my lips anytime he did it.Frankly speaking, I was surprised he still came to ask, cause he has at least done this 5 times already under the span of 30 minutes. And all the times, I gave the same response to his overly excited self.“Why are you taking so much time, Mommy? Grandpa’s waiting for us,” Miles asked, moving to check out my face from the vanity mirror I currently sat in front of. “Are you done now, Mommy?”Argh…“Yes Miles! Yes, mommy is ready now” I responded to him, ruffling his hair for a bit. Excited cheers filled the air as he ran out of the room. To tell the others, I’m sure.As you know,

CHARLOTTE’S POV“I think you made a mistake, Madame”“No”“I didn’t. I couldn’t have” I muttered quietly, just enough for Maria that stood beside me to hear.“But Madame… he-they- they all look very happy!” she insisted, choosing to voice out my inner worries rathe than have faith like I wanted. And that alone, annoyed the shit out of me!With a death glare I turned to her, “Go and try to contact those greedy bastards, again! They still have my videos and I want it!”How dare those criminals?!First, they contact me and tell me they have the videos ready, even requesting for a ridiculous sum as payment! An amount I couldn’t even afford at the moment, all because Hudson had my cards connected to his accounts frozen!Then, when I finally came up with a tangible sum to at least get one video, those bloody twats decided to go mute on me! To ghost me! Like what the actual fuck?!“You make sure you keep calling, text them! I need that video now!” I whisper yelled at her, my eyes housing my

HUDSON'S POV“It feels like I haven’t seen you since forever! Hudson wouldn’t even let me meet the kids, claiming you all needed some family time! He’s so stingy…” Grandpa complained, narrowing his eyes at me as Val chuckled before guiding him to a seat.“We are back now though, so you can come visit the kids whenever you want! I’m sure they will love that” Val comforted, taking a seat beside him. And almost automatically, my smiles fell. “You’re sitting there?” I questioned, gesturing to her.“Why?! You’re so far from me! Come over here”Almost immediately, Grandpa grabbed her hands stubbornly. “Huh? Why does she have to do that?! You’re not a child and you most definitely don’t need her to care for you right now!”“Well, I do!” I retorted seriously, not liking how he was arguing about my woman with me. She was my woman and not his!“I do need her to take care of me! I’m hurt! Only her can help”“Huh? You? Hurt? From what?! Falling off your ego, now?!” Grandpa taunted, his voice loud
