VALERIE’S POV

“You know, you shouldn’t be doing this” I mumbled softly as I watched him apply ointment to the slash on my face with so much gentleness that I didn’t know he could possess. “What if someone sees us? Or Charlotte comes here right now?”

He paused in his movements, bringing his blue eyes into my view from the side of my face. And right there I could see the sincerity shining in those blue depths, “Then why did you do this to me?” he asked, his voice almost a whisper. “Why did you come to me?” I remained silent at his words, just letting the gentle atmosphere and his pained words float into my ears.

“I hope this doesn’t scar…I hope you never get hurt because of me, ever!” he whispered, his eyes telling me he meant every word. It made me smile. His sincerity and openness about how he felt, it warmed my heart to see him behave like this. Even if I knew I shouldn’t. “Okay,” I responded warmly, smiling at his still worried expression.

“I won’t get hurt again. You don’t have to

I went back to Ch 1-2 yesterday to re-read and refresh on the scenarios that led to their divorce.. I must admit it had my teeth clenched again at how pompous the evil witch was in getting her plan worked and the idiot Hudson fall into it easily, feeling heart pain whenever he saw her fake tears

They were all enjoying my misery and gossiping about it with whoever cared to listen while they were at it!A beautiful package I was so going to return to them in double folds. “Aww, what’s wrong, Charlotte?” Mrs. Thompson’s voice rang through amongst the other women that attended this last-minute gathering for the school’s performance that was to happen in two days from now.“We felt bad we didn’t get to do anything for your birthday, so we arranged this specially for you. Don’t you like it?” she added, looking to the others for support as they gave out concurred grunts.These bitches…. I knew all about what they have been spreading about me. About how Hudson left me all alone too because he couldn’t stand me and I had to spend my birthday waiting foreve

    VALERIE’S POV“And it worked?” Lucia asked in surprise.“Well, I’m sitting here with you and have a child that attends this prestigious school bearing the Rodriguiez surname, aren’t i?” she asked, throwing the question back at Lucia. “Of course, the plan worked! It painted the perfect image of a pitiful young girl that had nowhere else to go, had to bury her dead parents and also pay huge medical bills for a strange medical complication she had gotten as a result of the accident! Old man Grandpa had no choice but to allow me stay at the mansion when Amelia forcefully took me there and so therefore, it gave me a chance to reclaim what was mine from that bitch Valerie!”I took a sharp breath at the end of her reveal. My hands trembling as a cold chill ran down my spine at the pure nonchalance at which Charlotte used to spew those words.How could a woman be so cruel? So heartless that she felt no atom of remorse for ruining innocent lives just to get what she wanted?!How did she become

    ROB’S POV“I guess the surgeon did a really fantastic job on her face.” I mused, staring at the before and after pictures Val sent to me a few days ago. “A maid whose face was totally battered up with uneven third-degree burns… I guess she does look good. And the name Lucia seem to go well with her too”“You guess?” Val repeated, her tone questioning. “The doctor did do a fantastic job! And I’m glad he did. Lucia got another chance at life because of that. I’m grateful she decided to work for me after everything. This entire plot on Charlotte is as much hers as it’s mine. We both need this!” she said, her usual fierceness glowing in her eyes, replacing the uneasy look she had been wearing ever since she woke up.For one I was glad at the improvement but all that ended the moment I heard her phone vibrate again. It had been vibrating all night and I knew the exact reason behind it. Aside from Nanny Beth that I had spoken to last night, some other person also called. And I knew just who

Today was the day! The day I would finally crush the smug smiles on both Mrs. Thompson’s face and her stupid minions!They had dared me for so long and finally, I would take the first step in crushing them, just as Lucia and I had planned a month back. The plan was to perform today at the school, captivate everyone present while making every other person’s performance look like child’s play the moment I step on stage. And then, at the end of the day, I take the heat of the performance back home to Hudson. To leave him wanting and begging for my touch for at least a month or so after today’s performance.But now, the plan was cancelled. At least, the Hudson’s part.We already had so much tension between us that I wasn’t so sure he would even s

    CHARLOTTE’S POVShe swallowed, her eyes expressing her hesitance before she went on explain. “I know this sounds crazy but trust me. I don’t have these instincts for nothing! It was the same with me back then when my stupid husband left me for his mistress, and now I’m having the same feeling towards Hudson.”I blinked, not believing my ears. “What are you saying Lucia? How can you compare your useless ex-husband to my Huddie? That makes no sense!” I shot at her, truly offended.She sighed deeply as she looked at me, “Char, look, he came to your performance today, but he didn’t get you any gifts or flowers” she said, urging me to look around at other women that had flowers or gift boxes in their arms with their husbands standing close by, smiling with them.“He didn’t come to greet or talk to you either,” she added, her voice calm as I digested her words with a trembling heart. “I’ve been watching him all afternoon Char, he didn’t even glance at you once! And he is making no attempt t

I love you” she said happily, her adorable tone making me chuckle as I responded I love you back to her but she pressed on for more. “You love only me right, daddy?” she asked, “I will always be your princess, right?”“Hmm, let me think” I mumbled, made a thinking face even though I knew she couldn’t see me since this was a call. “Huh? Daddy!” she exclaimed, complaining loudly with a pout that I knew would be on her lips right now, even if I couldn’t see her. “You’re no more my prince charming, I take it back!”“Woah, okay, okay princess,” I chuckled, thoroughly amused and happy with how much of a talkative she was becoming.“I apologize my princess, you’re the only one I have! And I will love you forever!” I assured her, smiling as she said she would think about forgiving me later on tomorrow. “Tomorrow? Isn’t that a bit too harsh, princess?” I argued.“Your princess says tomorrow daddy, why are you insisting?” she reto

    HUDSON’S POVRather, when I reached for her hands, she quickly snatched it away, avoiding my eyes as she addressed me. And this time, her tone was like that of the Valerie I had met before all the times we’ve spent together recently. “No, that’s not what I’m talking about. You’re mistaken”But I didn’t relent. Since I had decided to take responsibility of the way she made me feel, it included having difficult conversations like this. If I couldn’t understand her struggles then what was my reason for being in her life? How would I prove I was ready for what was going on between us? How could I proof I was ready for us?“Val,” I called her softly, moving myself so I would close the distance between us. “Please look at me,” she refused at first but did a moment later, and when my eyes met her green ones, I could see the hurt floating in her eyes. I wanted to ask her what was wrong, why she hurt herself that day and why she was so worried but she beat me to it. “You cannot let Aby do that

    CHARLOTTE’S POV“The number you’re trying to call, is not available at the moment. Please hold on or call back later” those words, those same words were what my phone kept saying each and every time I dialed his number. I didn’t stop trying and the robotic voice didn’t stop telling me the same words either.“Ma-Madame,” Maria stuttered behind me, “He is not picking up?” I asked, turning to face her. The white walls of the living room speeding past my eyes with how fast I spun around. “Why won’t he pick up? Are you sure he’s not at the office?”She bowed in disappointment before nodding her head as a yes. “But he said he has work, that he will be going to the office. If he is not at the office then where is he?!” I asked out loud, my voice shaky as I looked to the maids for answers but no one would respond, each of them shuffling on their feet as they mumbled amongst themselves.I have to keep trying. I have to keep calling, he would have to take my calls at some point! It was almost m

    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,

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

And the moment I spotted his tangled-up self in the sheets, my feet moved on their own accord, next thing I knew I was all over him. My heart beat suspended in panic as I rushed to help him out.“Oh, my goodness, what happened here?!” he winced from pain as I pulled on a side of the sheets. “Oh my, sorry! Sorry…does it hurt? Does it?” he nodded gently to my question. His expression pitiful as slowly, I untangled with from the sheets that had wrapped him up like a sausage roll!“Hold on, let me see” I cooed softly, helping him relax as I gently checked his bandages. Everything looked good. There were no blood stains or any signs of an added injury, so we were all good. But only after I had calmed down did, I realize just how quickly our sleeping arrangements had changed.Nanny Beth’s orders were strict; no sharing of bed

I have even received a copy from court concerning the details of YOUR sue! And you sit there to cry that you didn’t do it? It was someone else and you don’t know who that is?! Can you hear yourself?”“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry baby” were the words she kept whispering. Her cries filling the air as I listened, as we all listened. Myself, Hudson and Charlotte herself!“I’m sorry Huddie, I will fix this I promise! I will close the case right now and-” she whispered; her voice thick with emotion as she addressed him.“No need!” He interjected, his voice firm. “Just send the documents after you’ve signed them, if you want that is. Otherwise, see you in court, Charlotte. I’m not letting you ruin my daughter!”“No. No way! No Huddie, no!” Charlotte cried out, her voice panicky and I knew he was leaving.

Everything he owned had cut me off! All the entitlements I enjoyed and had been enjoying all these years, framing my lavish lifestyle… everything has been cut off!It was just me now.Me and this hotel room, plus the voice I as currently hearing inside it!“Don’t tell me you don’t recognize me now, Char” the voice continued, sounding clearer and clearer as a silent sob left my mouth. My lips trembling as I refused to believe it. I refused to believe the obvious truth that was right before me.“No,” I whispered, my hands flying to my ears to block ou
