CHARLOTTE'S POVAs if my day couldn’t get any worse, she just had to show up! To pop up out of nowhere just when I was losing my shit over finding out that Hudson cheated on me. “You’re here to mock me, aren’t you? To gloat in my face just like all those other bitches, aren’t you?! Beat the dog while its down, eh?” I sneered, my eyes glaring daggers as I equally approached her incoming form.“Charlotte, are you well?” she asked instead, her overall expression nonchalant like she couldn’t be bothered by my approaching form. “What are you talking about?”“Admit it!” I spat angrily, my temper rolling as I moved even closer to her. “You’re here to laugh at me. You think I’m pathetic? You think I’m stupid, right?! So stupid that I couldn’t see Hudson was cheating me!” I sneered in her face, each word leaving a bitter taste in my mouth as it further confirmed that this was truly happening and to me, of all people!But sadly, my inner turmoil only brought joy to the face to the brown-haired
VALERIE’S POV“G-get lost?”“H-how can you be so mean to me?!” she shrilled; her brown eyes red rimmed from shedding so much tears and more still continued to drip. Her mascara was far gone as it had already formed a long streak down her both cheeks since I stepped into the office. I already knew she was crying.She had most definitely seen the makeup stain on his suit, just like I had planned and now nothing will hold back her doubts and fears. I knew she wouldn’t accept that Hudson was cheating on her so easily if she hadn’t seen it with her two eyes. He was after all loyal to her all these years, not once having a scandal or looking at other women. A man with such devotion, what woman would believe he was cheating without concrete proof? No one!And as such, I had to create one for her.I couldn’t show myself just yet so telling her about it was out of the question. Hence, my reason for intentionally applying a bit of my makeup on his suit earlier this morning before we came to his
CHARLOTTE’S POV“Kiddo, hold on!”“I will look into it okay? No need to disturb the boss”“But I saw it with my own eyes, Raymond! There was eyeshadow stain on his suit!” I insisted, my voice rising from both anger and frustration as I tried to move past him so I could go into the living room. “That eyeshadow didn’t get there on its own, some woman was busy rubbing herself on him! He is seeing another woman under my nose! We need to find her!”“Kiddo! Wait!” he yelled, hurriedly running after me after I had pushed my way through. “Yes, we need to find her and we will! But the boss is meeting with an important guest right now, you can’t go there”“What? Even you too?!” I shot at him, my fury rising at his words as I paused to glare at his aged face. “My father is meeting with important guest, and so what?! Am I not important? Is my matter not more important?! His soon to be son- in law is now seeing another woman, shouldn’t that be a problem for him?!” I yelled, my voice rising and ech
CHARLOTTE'S POVEven Raymond had been unable to give me any information, saying he was still working on it! “So much for trusting him to help me out” I grumbled darkly as I rigorously washed my hands in the bathroom sink. I have actually been here for quite some time. It was high time I go back into the bedroom. Maybe even have a third round with Ethan so I could kill this anxiety brewing inside of me.We had met up earlier today as I needed a real good fuck to clear my head. Otherwise, I might just end up going crazy inside that mansion! Hudson didn’t even take his mom’s calls so I had no way of pacifying my annoyance. My only option being Ethan’s dick.Of course, I would love for him to be Hudson right now but I had to make do with what I had presently. The next time I would meet Hudson, heaven knows I will have him tied up so I can have my way with him!“Let’s see how he would avoid me then!” I said out loud and finally turned off the sink so I could dry my hands. I was just about
HUDSON’S POV“What? The cops are here? What for?!”“Sir, they found Madame’s car at a hit and run scene last night” Paul explained, his words confusing me further. “What the hell are you talking about? How can Charlotte be involved in a hit and run incident?!” I asked, with furrowed eyebrows as the words refused to settle in my brain.What the hell was this new problem now?! I already had too much to worry about, I don’t need her adding to it. I haven’t even been able to come to a conclusion on how to handle her recent behaviors and now she went right ahead to get involved in a hit and run?! Just what is going on with that woman?!“The issue is all over the news, Sir” Paul added, turning on the TV and there it was on the screen with the craziest headline. ‘Popular Real Estate guru Hudson Rodriguiez’s supposed wife was rumored to have been involved in a hit and run scene that looked like it came straight out of a movie!’“What th-“It’s not looking good Sir, but our team are on it to b
VALERIE’S POV“Please…”“I’m begging you, don’t push me down again. I will leave! I won’t come back here again,”“I promise you; I won’t come back here…just don’t hurt me anymore, please”“No,” “No! Don’t push me down again,” “Please don’t!”“Don’t!!”“Val! Calm down,” “It’s me. It’s Rob… you’re okay now”“Val?”“Valerie!!”And just like that, my eyes snapped open. A loud gasp emitting from my lips as I roughly hit down a glass of water from the table, I had apparently fell asleep on. Frantic, I looked around the environment and sure enough everything pointed to one thing; that I was currently in the underground in the house outside the city and breath of relief left my nostrils.Although, my heart was still pounding loudly in my chest, my forehead wet from sleep sweat. Other than that, everything was the same.“Ugh, goodness me…” I grumbled as everything came flooding back in my mind.I had apparently taken a time off from the world to meditate here in my game room. it was a ploy
VALERIE’S POVIt was relaxing to hear and I hoped he stayed true to his words until the end. In no time, he disconnected from the call, leaving Rob and I. And looking at his relaxed form, all cladded in casuals as it way past work hours. I couldn’t help but remember how he comforted me that night at his place. How he refused to let me know about it the next morning, probably because he didn’t want me to worry over it.He was so good to me… so good that I wished I had more of him in my family than those ruthless people I called family members. How good that would have been… “How are you? Have you had dinner?” he asked, staring at me like he didn’t deliver me a truck load of food earlier today when I didn’t even ask for it.I was about to give him a sassy comment, when I noticed something on one of the screens and almost immediately, my phone vibrated with a call I couldn’t take. “Everything okay?” Rob asked, reminding me we were still on call. But I just waved him off and ended the call
THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEWWhat was that people often say about karma? That it is a bitch, right? Well, they were so right I tell you!I mean, who could’ve thought a mistress that replaced the main wife of a wealthy man, would turn out to also get so agitated by even the slightest chance her said trophy man would have another woman in his life? Another mistress I mean.Haha! It looks like no one likes the idea of her man having a mistress, especially Charlotte in this regard. One would think since she took the same route to barging her way into the life of a newlywedded couple, causing several conflicts and misunderstandings that ultimately led to a divorce, that she would be more understanding if some other woman was to show up in her man’s life using the same tactics.But no, she has proven to be of quite the high morals at the moment. A true believer that a man should absolutely have no one else in his life except his partner! Alas, been in the position of a current main wife has t
HUDSON'S POVA broke ass man that would be scared of their mommy’s wealth?? Hahaha! Never did I see this coming when I introduced myself. “Yes, mommy is smart too, she will help you okay? She will help your business grow, don’t be scared” My little girl finished, patting my hand on the table sympathetically for more emphasis, leaving me feeling even more flabbergasted.I couldn’t believe my ears at all. I couldn’t believe these kids!As if it wasn’t enough, James deep chuckles kept resounding in the air. He was most definitely having a blast watching us right now. “You guys… “I started, clearing my throat as I prepared to set the records straight.“You shouldn’t jump to conclusions like this. It’s bad! I don’t need your mommy to take care of me, because I have my own money! I am a very rich businessman as well. One of the richest in the city! I can and will take care of all of you! Your mommy included! She wouldn’t even have to work and we would still have money, that’s how much I hav
HUDSON’S POV“Daddy!”“Look! It’s daddy, he came back!” the voice of the little girl that was now officially mine filled the air, even before I saw her. The smiles on my face knew no bounds the moment I saw the car open and her absolutely excited self, came bouncing down as she ran to me.“Yay!” I found myself exclaiming as I took her in my arms for a warm hug, chuckling as I did. “You came back,” she whined, pouting beautifully as she did. Seeing her relived expression filled me with an unexplainable joy, especially now that I had the DNA test results in my pockets.It was incredible, really. It was like feeling that same as the joy I felt on the day Abrille was born, all over again. Yes, that was what it felt like! Like I had just became a father for the first time all over again. Even if my baby was all grown now and look around 5 years old already. “I promised I would, didn’t I?” I whispered to her, admiring her features as I smiled. “I won’t leave ever again, okay? I promise!”My
CHARLOTTE'S POVThe sudden pause in the music quickly caught her attention and she turned in my direction. “You, owe me. You owe me an apology, and I suggest you get right to it, right now!”“Oh?” she exclaimed, cocking her head to the side as she released a mocking laughter. Totally unfazed by my glares, “You really are dumb, aren’t you?! Apologize to you? Unbelievable!” she mocked, laughing some more while I neared my brim in keeping in anger in check.“But then again, you couldn’t figure out where your darling Huddie got that music from, how could you possibly understand me now?”“What the fuck are you talking about?!” I snapped, moving even closer to her.“Oh Charlotte…lonely little Charlotte. How do you think I managed to get so close to you, if you weren’t so lonely? I honestly don’t get you; you know! You have been living with a man that barely hugged you for all the years you two lived together. He didn’t even have sex with you at some point, right? So, why then did he suddenl
CHARLOTTE’S POVHudson hasn’t come home.He hasn’t come home at all ever since I stupidly blurted that slutty bitch had kids for him! Gosh! Why did I do that?! Why did I fucking do that?! It was so stupid. So fucking stupid of me! I mean, what was I even thinking?!Who loudly announces to her man that the woman he had been sleeping with, cheating on her with had kids for him?! Who does that?! Only idiots! And I was one for sure. I was a total idiot for not realizing just how bad I had fallen for that bitch’s trick!She dared to do all of that with him and never once mentioned their kids! It meant she had something else up in her sleeve, only a fool such as myself didn’t realize it on time. He didn’t even know she had kids; thought she was pregnant when I mentioned it. If only I had kept my mouth shut, held a tight grip on my anger that day, then this wouldn’t have happened.But could you blame me? I was literally going blind from rage at all the details she gave me free of charge! Sh
HUDSON’S POV“The heavens are punishing me, aren’t they?”“They are angry with me. After everything I’ve done… they should be angry right?” I asked quietly, staring out the car windows in the silence of the night.“No boss, they’re not punishing you” James responded, like he had been doing ever since he met and literally helped me to the car from Valerie’s gates. “They are. I’ve been so clueless. So irresponsible…a rubbish excuse for a father, that’s what I am. Why didn’t I search more back then when I had you to find Valerie? Why didn’t I keep looking? Why did I stop?! If I hadn’t…I wouldn’t have made me kids live like they were fatherless all this time. I’m so useless!” I whispered intensely, punching my right thigh at the agony clawing at my heart.Abrille stirred a little beside me after that action and I tried to calm down a bit. Holding it all down as I watched her sleep peacefully, not knowing what a trash her father was.“Boss, we’re here. We are here at the mansion” James sai
VALERIE’S POV“I’m so sorry,”“I’m so sorry” were the words he kept muttering as his body shook with silent tears. A cry so strong that his voice was choked with it, and I knew right then; that he meant it. He meant those words; I’m sorry’.I almost couldn’t watch. I couldn’t bear to. Standing there, watching them cry over each other was a constant struggle to remain strong. I was literally fighting back the lump in my throat, holding my breath while repeatedly blinking my eyes in other to stand strong but all that proved useless the moment, I watched Miley moved to wipe his tears despite her own crying face, before rushing to pull Miles closer, so he could hug Hudson as well, it completely broke my heart. I had to turn the other way, otherwise, I would’ve end up crying more than they did.I didn’t bargain for any of this when I made up my mind to let him meet them. I didn’t think I would be so affected or feel so guilty for keeping them apart for so long. It was hard, it was hard to
HUDSON’S POVThe minute that question sounded through from the inside, my heart rate quickened instantly. I had always made it a point to avoid bringing up conversations about her son when we were together, simply because of my selfish thinking that she had another man’s child. Like I didn’t a child with Charlotte as well… as much as I hated to admit, I did moments where my thoughts were simply nonsensical. Thoughts that I shouldn’t even be having in the first place! It was shameful to say the least…But I could not continue that way anymore. If I wanted to have Val in my life, I had to accept her son too. I had come to terms with that, the few days she had gone off the gride without talking to me. But right now, I wasn’t so sure what to think.That child of hers could actually be mine. He could be the same baby she was pregnant with back then when I was so stupid not to see past my selfish plots! But then at the same time, he could turn out not be mine. And belong to another man. But
HUDSON’S POV “What do you mean, new kids?” I asked, my eyebrows furrowing as she sneered at me. “Are you being serious, right now? You want to play tricks and act like you don’t already know?!” That confused me all the more. On a normal circumstance, I would’ve just continued my steps to my room to go relax like I had intended, just considering Charlotte’s words as trash and unimportant. But not right now. Not when it involved me, Valerie and a kid inside one sentence. And with how confident Charlotte seemed to be saying the words, there had to be some truth in it. But what truth? Or was Val…pregnant? For me? “She’s pregnant?” I muttered to myself as everything started piecing together in my head. If…if she was indeed pregnant, everything will make so much sense! Why she was ignoring me, and why she went off silent on me for more than a week! She must’ve been shocked to find out about the pregnancy but then, got scared after she remembered how Charlotte treated her at my office. S
HUDSON'S POV“Hahaha! Wow, you want to use her to force me from reacting?” Charlotte jabbed, her tone mocking. “You want to avoid this conversation and brush it under the rug like its nothing?! No way! I said no way, Hudson! No fucking way!!”She screamed, throwing her bag at a furniture as she glared crazy at me. Looking at her now, with all her mascara staining her cheeks in heavy lines, I knew instantly that she had been crying.“How could you do this me? How could reduce me to nothing by sleeping with her?! Why? Did she seduce you? She threw herself at you, right? That’s why you had no choice and just gave in to your fleshy desires, right Huddie? It’s just a one-time thing or maybe two-time thing that has now ended and she’s the one not letting you go! That’s it, right? That’s what happened!” she cried out, her words sounding more and more absurd with every moment I spent taking in her features.Her brown eyes that I used to admire now housed a certain level of craziness as she ea
