Sean Hudson, POV

I am Sean Hudson, and I am 24. I am currently taking care of my company, SE & Sons, which I and my best friend Eric Johnson started from scratch five years ago, and today we are one of the leading companies in America with various branches all over the world.

Apart from this, I am the CEO of Hudson Inc., and my father wants to retire as soon as possible. As the only heir, I must take responsibility.

I am clever, arrogant, and manipulative. That is what people say about me, and somehow, it is true.

I am a man of principles.

I do not believe in a relationship, but one-night stands are welcome with no strings to attach.

My family and friends are in my world. I am very protective of them.

I was saddened by the sudden demise of Mr. Williams. I have known him all my life, and he was a fun-loving guy.

His sudden demise broke my heart somewhere, too.

But when I learned about the presence required while reading his will, surprise was an understatement .But I guess, as he is a 51% shareholder of Hudson Inc., he might want to clarify some things.

We were waiting for the lawyer, and we heard a soft knock on the door. I looked up to see if the lawyer was here already. I just wanted to get rid of this as soon as possible, but to my dismay, a cute little figure was peeking inside. I guess she is the granddaughter of Mr. Williams. I was looking at her. She was wearing an oversize hoodie and black skin-tight denim. Her hair was tied in a loose bun, and her green eyes shone, looking lost among everyone.

She went to her grandmother and sat with her. I looked down and started checking my schedule for the day.

After some time, a lawyer came and gave us or else said to give me the most shocking news.

Get married to a girl who is not over 16, as I remember Mr. Williams used to talk about her being in school.

Now, why would he want me to get married to a kid and then to his granddaughter? My head started hurting thinking about this.

She is nowhere near a woman. Looking at her body, I can tell that her melons are not even developed yet, and they want me to get married to her. Wow, just wow.

They cannot blackmail me to get married to a kid just to save another 51%. I would rather let it go 100% and concentrate on my company than get married to her.

I declared my answer to them and left.

God, these people have gone mad.

SARAH’S POV

I got up and looked around the same place as yesterday.

"Good morning, Mrs. Hudson," I wish myself as no one else does to me; I know how to cheer myself. That is what I have been doing all my life.

I got up, went to the bathroom, did my business, and got ready for the day.

I made coffee, opened the door towards the garden, and sat at the corner of my door, looking outside.

It has been a routine for me to sit in the same place every day.

I see every day people come all dressed up in their formals. ‘Does he have an office in the house or what?’

Two girls are, let us not forget to mention, hot girls who are regular visitors. Who are they? Are they some associate's, or maybe his girlfriends or flings?

Sometimes their dressing gives them nausea. I mean, who wears such clothes? It is too skimpy and revealing.

Well, why would I care? I shrugged at that thought.

But till now, I have never gotten a single glance at him.

I took a sip and closed my eyes the moment the caffeine hit my tongue. I got to relax.

I look ahead; this beautiful garden and pool view gives me peace of mind—at least something I like or can say is a little different from the hostel.

I have never gone to the garden or pool. I just sit here. I know this is not my house. He clears the first day itself, and this is just a shelter for me.

Closing my eyes, I thought, ‘I do not know where this life will take me now.’

After finishing my coffee, I took my laptop to check my mail and finish some assignments.

By the time I finished, it was lunchtime. No one has come to ask about my well-being, but why would they?

No one cares about me. I huff at that thought.

I do not see a single face apart from the cleaning staff, which comes twice a week to clean, and I am more than grateful. At least I do not have to do this all by myself.

Sometimes Anna comes to check on me or, let us say, make fun of me in my situation. But well, I know how to keep such kinds of people at bay and not give them satisfaction.

I was thinking about what to do next, and I heard the voice of Anna.

"How are you doing today, Mrs. Hudson?" Oh, I so want to snatch this cunning smile from her face.

I again look down at my phone. "I am doing good, Anna. How are you?"

"I am doing very well, mam. Is there anything you need I can help with?" She asked me with the same smile plastered on her face.

"I am fine; thanks for the concern," I replied, still looking at my phone.

"Oh, do not thank me. It is my job, and as you do not need me, I shall take your leave." I nod in agreement.

Before she leaves, I hear a piercing voice and look up to see a girl wearing an extremely short and tight dress. I look at her from top to bottom and think that if she takes a little of a deep breath, her boobs might come out, and if she bends a little bit, her ass will show up.

But her boob size is weirdly big, or mine is way too small? Well, I hide them nicely, but still, I know the actual size, but again, how come her lips are so full? Mine is nice. I mean, I like them, but still, hers are too full.

Oh, then I realized she is all plastic—her boobs, lips, ass, and high cheekbones. God, she must have spent a fortune to get those.

However, her dress is just wow. I mean, you need a lot of courage to wear such a thing. I mentally patted her shoulder to pull off such a dress.

"Aunt Anna, where is Sean? I have been looking for him.

"Darling, he is home today." Anna looked at me, smirked, and again looked back at her and said, "I guess I was waiting for you. Why do not you look for him in his study?"

That skimpy girl nodded and finally noticed me. She looked at me head to toe, gave me a weird look, and left from there.

Like, really, what did I do to you, girl? Did I steal your cookies? I cannot understand this stupid attitude of people.

"I should leave now. I need to see the preparation for them." She smirked and left.

So, this girl must be his girlfriend. Well, I am not surprised, and I have no expectations of him. He can do whatever he likes. I am not the one to comment on it.

Huffing, I got up to check the fridge to make something for myself.

Well, yes, I know cooking, as I told you, and your hostel life has taught me many things.

I made a mac & cheese and went to my room and turned on the TV.

After I relished my yummy food, I again went back to my laptop and started my work. When I next checked, it was dinnertime.

But because I was sitting the whole day, I was not hungry anymore, so I closed the laptop, took a glass of milk, and went to my room. Changing into my nightdress and sitting on my bed with my romantic book Yup, I love reading a romantic book.

So, what if there is no romance in my life, but these books give me some happiness? At least not all the stories are like mine.

After reading some chapters, my eyes finally started getting heavy. I turned off the light and fell asleep.

    "I AM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS." That is it. That is it. Finally, my world shattered into a million, no zillion, pieces. I do not know how to react or what to say. My mind and body have stopped processing. My entire system has shut down. Nancy held my hand and did something; maybe she made me sit somewhere. I do not know how much time has gone by, and I am still sitting here. Again, I felt some movement around, but I do not know what was happening. It feels like I am frozen. I could hear some mummers, but nothing was clear, and my vision was blurry. Why can't I hear or see anything? I guess I need a doctor. I felt a shake in my body. First, it was slow, and then it was too strong, like someone wanted to hurt me. I was looking here and there to see where I was, and I was at the cemetery. I saw a coffin in front of me and saw my grandmother in it. Why is Granny sleeping here? And finally, my mind started processing, She is bidding me her last goodbye. She is no longer with me. S

    So finally, I am here in Melbourne, Australia. I applied long ago here but never joined, and because of my significant marks, I have been getting requests from them to join. So here I am. I got the room in my college hostel, as usual. I am not interested in friendship with anyone, so I mind my own business and get the entire room for myself. Well, how? I guess money can do everything. I have never had a money issue since I was 16. I was always interested in computers and learning about hacking. Yes, I am a hacker, but I am an ethical hacker, and I have an A+ certificate as well. When I was 17, we had a competition in my school, and I won and got the first prize, and there I met Mr. Luca. Mr. Luca Thomas came with the chief guest, and after the ceremony, he spoke to me regarding helping me solve some confidential government work. He spoke to my principal, and it was a government assignment my principal agreed to. That is, it was from then that I have never seen back. I get a he

    After one week Getting up, I sat on my bed. Life has changed so much. I am 24 today. "Happy Birthday, Sarah Rose." I wished myself a smile and got down to get ready for the office. After getting ready, I look at myself. A gray knee-length dress with matching shoes and some minimal makeup looks nice today. With time and mostly because of Sam, my dressing has changed a lot. Now I do not hide my curves. My height, 5.7 slim body with good curves in the right place, and long hair make me more confident. I went down and heard the most annoying voice of my life. SAM I am still cursing the day I met her. And she has stuck with me like a leech since then. Happy Birthday, My Pumpkin! She came running and engulfed me in a tight hug. "Let me breathe, Sam," before she moves. I felt one more hug. Wow, god, are you calling me? Is this my last birthday? I thought, rolling my eyes. "Guys, leave me. I cannot breathe." I shout. They both finally broke the hug and grinned at me. "What?" I sa

    Sarah Rose Hudson The other gentleman, Mr. Eric Johnson, was talking to Nathan and I were listening. I cannot understand why he is repeating the same thing. We have already said no to them for this work. After he finishes, he looks toward me, and so does Nathan. Ok So now I must speak. Having no choice, I cleared my throat. I do not know why it got dry. "Well, Mr. Johnson, we appreciate your offer, but I do not like to beat around the bush. So let me come straight to the point. You have been trying to get my appointment for the past few months for the same thing we discussed. If I am not wrong, we have already informed you that we would like to work on our creativity rather than correcting others’ work. Moreover, as per my knowledge, if you have a full-proof security system, then what is the need to upgrade the system?" I asked while taking a hand rest on my table. "How do you know we have a full-proof, secure system?" The first time Mr. Hudson spoke in his husky voice Does h

I was standing there for, I do not know, how long, still trying to get what just happened. I felt someone shake my shoulder. I looked up and saw Nathan looking at me with questioning eyes. I know what he is asking. I huff and nod in affirmation. He banged on the table. "I should have thought of it: why is such a big company behind our lives, and why would they be persistent enough to meet you only?" He spoke, flaring his nostrils. "It could be a coincidence, Nathan. If they are a big company, let us be honest; we aren’t small either. We have made our name in such a short amount of time." I said, sitting on a chair. "Agree, but then again, why did they want to meet you?" He made his point again. "They wanted to meet MD, not me, Nathan. And it has been five years. He does not care about whether I am dead or alive.

    I do not want to go to my house right now; I need to be alone. I text Sam. I will not be back tonight, so do not worry. I will be home tomorrow morning. They both know that sometimes I will not be alone, and I have my hidden place, which no one knows. Yes, I am secretive, and I like to be like that. I do not like to share everything with everyone. Few things are too personal, I guess. ‘I told the driver the address, and he looked at me weirdly, but dude, you are going to get your money, so drive the car and do not look at me.’ I thought. In 45 minutes of the drive, we reached a place far away from the city, and he stopped the car in front of a small house surrounded by a forest. There is not even a single house other than this. It is a silent place. I paid the driver more than the ride amount and noticed a pleased look on his face. Nodding towards him, I went inside my small house. Once inside, enter the gate and be welcomed by a small garden. I open the door to my small livin

I got up from my seat and hugged him lovingly, and he did the same.He is a middle-aged man and my manager. I work as a hacker for him only.

    My mind went numb, and I let it play with this man with my lips as per his liking. He sucked my upper lips and then nibbled my lower lips, and in no time, he entered my mouth while his lips started sucking my tongue. This feeling was very overwhelming for me. He left my lips and winced loudly, and I took a deep breath and took a few more moments to understand what was happening. I look up, push back my body, sit back straight, and look at him while tilting my head. He was taking a few deep breaths while his face had a painful expression. I followed his other hand and noticed he was holding his heart. Guilt rushed back, as did panic, thinking I had hurt him again. "I am sorry." I don’t know what else to say, and I just touched his hand, which was touching her heart. "It wasn’t your fault, baby." He spoke with great difficulty, and I know I have hurt him badly. Tears pool back while I choose to stay mum. He took a few more breaths with closed eyes, and after some time, he opened

    "I want to see him." I spoke, looking at Nathan. I know only he can understand what I am feeling right now. "He is not here. He needed the best medical treatment as soon as possible, and most of the equipment here was busy as your health wasn’t in great condition, so we shifted him back to New York," He replied. "So, when can I see him?" I asked. As soon as you feel better" He replied. "I am fine. Let's go." I try to get up, but again, a sharp pain shoots up in my lower abdomen. "Sarah, what are you doing?" Everyone gasped, and I heard the stern voice of Alvera. She gently pushed me back. "You just had a C-section, and your stitches are still fresh. You can’t jump around as per your liking." She scolded me, and I looked at her surprisingly She helped me arrange my quilt. And I again looked at Nathan with hopeful eyes, who had a stern expression on his face and nothing else. And now he is not interested in helping me anyway. Tears pool in my eyes, and I look down helplessly. "N

    When I open my eyes, a strong light hits them, and I close them and again open them slowly to get gadgets with light.I roam my eyes.The place looked familiar, but then it hit me.I am back at the clinic.All the memories hit me hard.I touch my flat belly.My babies? Where are my babies?Panicked, I looked around but found no one.Where is everyone? Where are my kids?I jerk myself up, and a sharp pain shoots through my abdominal area and hand. I looked down; saline was attached to the back of my palm, and something was bothering me on my face.I touch it with my other hand and notice it’s an oxygen mask.I tried to take it out, but I felt too weak. I finally took it off and took a large amount of air into my lungs.I look up, hearing a voice. Mam, please don’t sit like this. You might break your stitches."She pushed me back to my old position, and ignoring her, I spoke, "Where is Sean? And where are my babies?" I asked worryingly.Ma'am, your babies are fine. Look there."

    Once Sarah was out, I looked back at them, who were nothing but crying their hearts out.I was somehow feeling bad, but again, what else do you expect? Karma's a bitch. What goes around comes around."Don’t touch her, you bastard. You killed my love." Mr .Williams pushed Ivan, who was still shocked after looking at her mother's dead body."I did not kill her," Ivan stuttered, looking at her mother."You did. You shot my love." Mr .William started crying, holding his wife.And I wondered how this man did not love anyone apart from this woman his whole life. He gave so much pain to everyone for this woman and looked at her today as she left him, leaving him all alone."Baby, wake up. Please wake up. Don’t leave me like this, baby." His voice was reaching my ears, but I wasn't feeling sympathy for this man.Not even a bit."I did not shoot her," Ivan Mummer said, looking at his gun.Mr .Williams was far away from hearing anything. He was weeping like a child.He looked at us and again at

    I can see how hurt she is when her friend backstabs her. And it’s not the first time she's gone through this pain. I am sure she must have felt the same pain when she misunderstood Sam."Never mind. If you don’t love me right now, you'll learn to love me after I kill Sean." He looked at me, giving me a deadly glare, which I ignored."Kill me all you want, but leave her right now." I felt agitated by now.I have no idea where the fuck Eric is.Gladly, but before I want to kill your seeds," He smirked, and I got pale hearing this."Didn't I tell you, baby? You will only carry my babies? Hmm?" He was looking scary somehow, and Sarah was getting frightened by his look.He has some major mental issues.I have to think of something to buy some time, but this man is difficult to trick.Worry is an understanding of what I am feeling now.I looked at Sarah, who had the same horrible expression as me. I was worried for her safety, and she was worried about mine.I again nodded to her to stay c

    But before we do or say anything, we hear Ivan say, "Not so easily."Ivan jumped next to Sarah and pointed a gun at her head.Sarah’s painful cry reached my eardrums. Before I or Nora could do anything, he had taken Sarah hostage.I looked at Sarah, who looked scared, and her hands were on her belly. I can see she is worried about the babies."Ivan, what are you doing? Leave me," Sarah called out painfully while struggling to get out of his grip, but I can see that the man was too strong.Madness was clear in his eyes, and he was raging.I looked at Nora, and he asked my permission to do something, but I shook my head and denied it. I can't take any risks right now. Sarah is completely broken emotionally and runs out of energy physically.I need to handle this very carefully."Ivan, leave her." I spoke.Huh ,and why do I listen to you, hmm?" He asked venomously."I will give you whatever you want. Just leave her, please." My voice is calm and composed, but the threat wasn’t something y

    Once I reached the outhouse, a few voices reached my ears, and one of them was Sarah's. I felt relieved knowing she was fine. "From now on, you only have me. Understand, baby girl?" Someone spokes, I know this is for Sarah, and someone else calling her baby apart from me boiled my blood. "No, she did not understand. But I will make her understand. Don't worry." I spoke, reaching closer to her. Her back was facing me, but I could see she was fine. Her father stiffened, looking at me, and so did his wife. The man who was close to my wife took a step back, looking at me. Oh and how I like to know what effect I have on them. Good, they aren’t expecting me here. It's good to know too. "So, hello to you all" I spoke while looking at them. I touched Sarah's shoulders while I bent down a little to the crook of her neck. My breath blew on her neck. She felt a little stiff, but instantly she felt relaxed. I know she knows my touch. "Baby, are you alright?" I spoke lovingly. She brok
