ACEIA'S POVIt's been five days since the doctor said that I should take a rest. And those five days, Hudson took care of me, and at the same time, it bores me to stay at home. What if it stays like this until I am fully healed?Hudson is overreacting to taking care of me, but I couldn't say no. I'm just thankful because he doesn't accompany me to the bathroom to take a shower or to clean myself.Thank God for that.I carefully got up from the bed, then looked at the clock on the bedside table.Nine AM.I stretched my arms, then left the bed and slowly walked towards the bathroom to fix myself.I smiled as I felt only a little pain in my femininity. The first few days after what happened were the worst of all. I almost pass out from the pain when I urinate. The pain was so excruciating that I had been killing Hudson in my mind over and over again as I peed.After I brushed my teeth, I washed myself in the hot tub, then slowly walked back to bed. It was only right when the door opened
Marriage for a Deal Chapter 21
The next day, I cooked breakfast for Hudson. I don't know why I did it. Maybe because I'm just happy about what happened last night.I don't know what to feel anymore. I don't want this marriage, but here I am doing the job of being a housewife, cooking for a husband.Maybe I should give it a try? This is for the meantime; after all, if someone is in this situation, they might also let things unfold to their places.I brought the food that I cooked to our bedroom. I looked at Hudson, who was still sleeping, so I just sat on the edge of the bed, gently caressing Hudson's face.Hudson groaned and rubbed his eyes, then woke up."Ace?"Good morning, my husband! "Hudson finally opened his eyes. He didn't say anything; he just stared at me as if confused."Your wake-up call is nice, isn't it? Now get up and have breakfast." I stood up and took the bed tray containing the food from the table. I placed it in front of Hudson after he sat down. I sat again on the edge of the bed."This is new.

After me and mom talk, we eat dinner, and then I call Hudson to come and pick me up. I already wanted to go because mom has a lot of questions that I don't have answers to. Even I don't know what I am feeling. All I know is that I'm trying to be a good wife.I called Hudson a couple of times, but he didn't answer. His cell phone kept ringing, so I asked my mom if she had the number of Hudson's secretary, and mom immediately gave it to me.As soon as I got it, I dialed Hudson's secretary's number. It was almost six o'clock in the evening. I feel so fucking tired of what I did all day. After me and mom talk, I arrange my things in my room and plan to get them tomorrow, or maybe if I have time.I breathed a sigh of relief when Hudson's secretary answered my call."Hello, is this Hudson's secretary?" I said on the other line."Good evening, ma'am. Yes, it's Mr. Hudson's secretary. What can I do for you?" A woman asked from the other line.I hesitated to ask, but in the end, I did. "Do you

ACEIA'S POV"Ace, just chill," Beatrice said as we were still in the car. I didn't know where love would take us, but I didn't care. "You saw that Hudson was shocked, right, didn't you? I was there and I saw it. Don't assume. Don't let that woman destroy your relationship with Hudson as a couple."I didn't say a word. Yes, my two eyes saw that, but it still hurt to see another woman hug my husband, and on top of that, Hudson didn't do anything; he just stood. I feel like someone picked up my heart and stomped on it over and over again. I know my reaction is kind of dramatic, but no, it really hurts.I know that our marriage is just for a show, but I didn't know I'd be hurt like this, and it hurts because before, I told myself that I would never be like this and that I would be okay if Hudson found another woman. Now that it's happening, it makes me feel pain.I was stunned when Love's car stopped at our house gate."Thank you," I said to my love, who had just answered me with a nod.B

HUDSON'S POVI almost called every saint I knew just to stop my stomach from aching. I couldn't count how many times I had to go back and forth to the bathroom since I ate the breakfast that Aceia cooked.Speaking of Aceia, she bit her lip while looking at me pitifully. I was lying on the bed, weak and drained."Are you okay?" She asked while biting her lips."I'm fine." I answered lifelessly. "I took medicine to stop this LBM; it will take effect soon. I'll be okay." My stomach grumbled again. "Fuck!" I go run to the bathroom again."Holy fucking hell!" I screamed as I felt that I only discharged water. "I'm going to die. Fuck it!"It was silly, but I was afraid of LBM. When I was a child, I was taken to the hospital because of diarrhea. And I was dehydrated, even if it was only for a few hours. I developed a phobia because of the many needles that were injected into me. Because of that, I learned to cook for myself. I want to make sure what I eat is clean. Aceia was the first person

HUDSON'S POVI can feel that I am starting to get drunk. My vision was spinning, so I closed my eyes to avoid dizziness and leaned my head against the back of the sofa I was sitting on. But even though I was already drunk, I still reached for the glass that had rum in it. "Rum" comes from a shortened version of the slang words "rumbullion" or "rumbustion. I knew liquor like my father did. The Rixco Wine Enterprise was centered in the liquor business, such as rum."Damn all the women in the world!" Clark suddenly shouted, making my eyes open.I looked at Clark, who was drowning himself in his favorite Martini wine. Clark looked like shit. He was a freaking mess. His hair is messy, and he won't be surprised if the iron chases him because his polo shirt is so tangled."Shut up, moron," Wilson said in a strong voice, glaring at Clark. "I don't want to be famous tonight, so don't shout. People are looking at us. I don't intend to have fans. And anyway, you owe me. I'll take you to your pen

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that I was in our bedroom.Thank God...I stood up from sitting on the bed and rubbed my head as if it were being torn apart by the pain."Argh! I hate having a hangover!" I groaned.I was about to walk to the bathroom when I saw a post-it note on the side table, and next to it were two Advils and a glass of water.I picked up the post-it note and read what was written there. It was a woman's handwriting, and I confirmed it when I read what was written there.Hudson,Here's an Advil for your headache. I also cooked soup for you. I'm sorry about what I did yesterday. I know it was childish of me. When you read this, I'll probably be in Dra. Manzana's office for my check-up. I hope you like what I cooked. Have a great day ahead.-AceI stared at Aceia's note.
