ACEIA'S POV "Aceia! What happened?" He came closer and cursed when he realized that my thighs and buttocks were exposed to the eyes of another man."What did you do to my wife?" Hudson angrily accused the man. He pushed Diego away and covered my exposed thigh."Let him treat me. You leave!" I said while still laying on the sofa. I was annoyed by Hudson."You heard her; he wants me—""Try to touch my wife, and I will fucking kill you." Hudson's snarling tone of protective dominance sent goosebumps through my flesh."What did you do to my wife?""I just helped your wife back here. If you weren't an asshole to leave your wife in the dense forest while bathing almost naked in the stream," Hudson turned and looked at me, his face dark."From then until now, your face is still thick as fuck, isn't it? You really put your ex and your wife together in the same house. You even bought your bastard son!" I looked at the two again as I felt that Diego's anger was too much and that there was a do
ACEIA'S POVHudson still loves Marthina. I could feel it. My heart shattered into a million pieces."What's wrong, Mommy Ace?" Phoenix's sad voice pulled me out of my trance. I wiped away the tears I didn't even realize had fallen.And that got the attention of Marthina and Hudson."Aceia?" I put Phoenix down, then I ran towards our room. I ran to the bathroom, leaned my back against the door, and cried.Does I really have a place in Hudson's heart? It hurts every time I see them. It's like I'm the only one who believes that I still have a place in my husband's heart."Aceia?" Hudson called out, followed by soft knocks on the door. I probably need to tell Hudson what I think. I don't want what is happening. It hurts too much. I wipe my wet cheek with my palm before opening the door."Ace?" Hudson said softly."Are you even aware that you've been hurting me since yesterday, Hudson?""Ace?" I punched him hard in the chest before I left the bathroom."You are fucking insensitive!" I bell
ACEIA'S POVI was silently sitting on the dining table eating lunch when Marthina sat down in the chair in front of me. Hudson's grandmother was in the living room, reading a magazine. I had my lunch late because I woke up past lunch."Hudson is mine," Marthina said with anger and jealousy in her voice. "He will never be yours."I knew it. This woman still hopes that she and Hudson will get back together. Well, sorry, darling, I won't let you.You may be dying, but that won't make me give Hudson to you.I looked at her and spoke boredly. "I'll just remind you that Hudson and I are married. So if you intend to get him, then good luck to you."Marthina smirked. "It was an arranged marriage. It only shows that Hudson doesn't really love you, and he only married you because he needed something from you. I came here because of Hudson, and I will have him soon."Pain sipped through my heart, but I did not show it. I didn't want this woman to see me hurt by what she said. I would not give Ma
ACEIA'S POVWhile I was sitting and sipping coffee with a little cream, I was talking on the cell phone with Beatrice. After what happened, I called Beatrice to talk to her about what I was feeling. I need someone to listen to me because if I don't tell anyone about what I felt, I feel like I'm going to explode.I know what is happening is complicated, but I tried to understand. And I guess even if I tried so hard, there was still always a reason for me to question my decision. I knew from the very beginning that I should walk away and let Hudson be with his son and Marthina. That's the best decision for me to protect my heart.But I couldn't just let go of my husband. I need to fight for him."You know what? You two need space so that you both think straight," Beatrice said on the other line.Yes, Beatrice is right, but there's a part of me that just can't leave Hudson with Marthina because I know she's planning something."No, I already told you that Marthina is planning something;
ACEIA'S POVAfter the second day of the convention, I immediately returned to the cabin where I was staying. The convention was held on a beach in Isla Plaza, and each of the attendees had a cabin that served as a sleeping place.Beatrice was nowhere to be found; maybe she was having fun with someone, so I didn't waste my time trying to find her.As I walked back to my cabin, my fingers tapped quickly as I sent it to Beatrice, letting her know that I was just in my cabin.After that, I immediately entered my cabin and dressed in short shorts and a halter shirt, then simple black slippers.I was still busy putting on makeup when someone knocked on the door."Wait a minute!" I shouted from inside the cabin.Maybe it's one of the island staff who will clean the cabin. I left my makeup on the bed and opened the door.My body went rigid when I saw who was outside the door. It's not one of the staff on the island. It was Hudson, and he looked irritated."You left without telling me?" Hudson
"Yes. I really wanted to have a baby with you. I realized that when the first time Phoenix called me mommy," my chest tightened. "We've had it three times, but I still can't feel that I'm pregnant." I turned to Hudson, who was looking at me. "Are you sure you're not infertile?"The man's eyebrows met. "Me? Are you saying that I'm barren? Aceia, I'm a healthy male. I'm not barren!" He sounded horrified."Don't yell at me!" I rolled my eyes at him. "It's annoying. Why haven't I gotten pregnant yet?"I was startled when Hudson put his hand inside my clothes and rubbed my belly. "Take a pregnancy test to be sure. Because I'm sure I'm not sick."I frowned. "I was fertile when something happened to us." My snout grew longer. "Hudson, well, are you sure you're not infertile?""I'm sure." He suddenly was on top of me and planted a kiss on my lips. "I'm not barren, Aceia. Why are you even asking me that kind of question? Well, you, aren't you barren?"She glared at him. "I'm not barren. Asshol
ACEIA'S POVI was happy when me and Hudson got out of his car. We just returned to Spain from Isla Plaza. We both had smiles on our faces as we walked, holding each other's hands, towards Vasco's mansion.I know that I should return to New York because of my business. Beatrice told me that she's going to Germany because of her fashion runway. Even though I don't want to go back to New York, I don't have a choice, so basically, I only have two days to stay in Spain before I go back to New York.Instead of three days, me and Hudson spent a week at Isla Plaza. We hardly left the cabin that we occupied because we would rather cuddle than go outside. We made love all day and all night. We only stopped when we were sleeping, resting, and eating. It was the best week of my entire life.But my smile immediately disappeared when Marthina opened the door.Bad vibes immediately welcomed me. I wanted to slap the woman when she looked and smiled at Hudson.We shouldn't go back here because I know
ACEIA'S POVI turned to Hudson as he hugged me around the waist and pulled me closer."Don't walk away from me, my love," Hudson whispered in a sleepy voice.I secretly smiled at what he said. "I don't want to go away, but it's time for dinner, Hudson. We're going to eat. Wake up now."Hudson grunted. "Let's stay in bed, please. One more round and I'll be good."I pinched the young man's arm. "No. It's dinner; we need to eat."After Hudson's meeting, he went back home, and I was happy when he woke me up by touching me. We eventually ended up making love until we were tired.Hudson opened his sleepy eyes. "I'm sleepy.""Hudson, I'm hungry," I said with emphasis, then I got up first. "Get up, Hudson," I said as I walked to the bathroom. "It's dinner time."When I entered the bathroom, I immediately took a warm shower. After finishing, I immediately came out with only a towel covering my body."My love, you're turning me on again," said Hudson, who walked closer to me, then hugged me aro
