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
THIRD PERSON POV“Woah, isn’t that Miss Hernandez of De Hernandez Dreamz? She’s a parent too?”“She really is something! Check out those thighs…hm, so yummy!” another man close to where Hudson stood complimented, his eyes viciously taking in the features of the still smiling woman from afar. “I wonder how she does it, CEO and then a parent! Amazing.”The entire atmosphere buzzed with chatters mostly centered around the new addition in their midst. But not everyone could partake of these thought-provoking conversations. As to some persons like Hudson Rodriguiez, who had arrived a while ago. He couldn’t stop thanking the heavens internally for making him attend this function, to be able to stay this long that he was granted the opportunity to see the very woman that had set his heart on fire.Only the heavens knew just how worried sick and lonely he has been the past few days that he didn’t hear from her. His world had felt so dull and colorless these past few days, that the only thing
THIRD PERSON POVValerie’s every word went like several bolts of lightening to Charlotte’s brain cells, completely destroying every bit of the confidence and determination that Charlotte had guarded herself with earlier today when she thought of meeting the supposed mistress.Who would’ve thought…Who would’ve thought that Hudson would return to and cheat on his current lover/partner with the very woman he once divorced! Who would’ve thought?! Charlotte most definitely did not see this coming. She did not anticipate that a man she had so skillfully kept at her side would turn around, to return to the very woman he had left to be with her. A woman he divorced to be with her! His very own ex-wife!Hudson was cheating on her with his ex-wife!Wat was the world turning into? What was her life turning into?!So, all these years…all this time he had been with her, that they had lived together under one roof, raising their daughter together meant nothing to him? She wasn’t worth anything? Th
VALERIE’S POV“Grandpa!”“Daddy!” my babies squealed out, each of them racing to the different men in delight. Their excited laughter filling the air as I slowly joined from behind, a flawless smile on my face as well the moment I took in the floored expressions on literally everyone’s face at the table!Every single person had stood up from shock, their eyes bulging, their stylish yet comfortable outfits making the table look colorful as they watched those oblivious trio of mine, that simply couldn’t be bothered as they switched hugs between their daddy and Grandpa. It truly was a funny sight to be honest. “Valerie,” Grandpa called out, my name rolling of his lips breathlessly as he spread his arms wide open for me.“My dear, welcome!” I smiled back, unable to resist his contagious smiles as I took off my sunshades to hug him.“Good morning, Grandpa. Sorry, we are late!” I apologized, pulling back from his warm hug just in time to watch him wave it off like it was nothing. “What? Wha
CHARLOTTE’S POV The sun had hung up high in the sky by the time I had arrived at the mansion. Today was to be the old man’s classic ranch day! Another one of his practices where he made everyone gather in the fields for his amusement. I call it; the mud day! A day you should get prepared to be attacked with the unpleasant smell of horse pop and other animals that he reared for fun. You get stained and do stupid chores while he relaxed at a spot on his wheelchair, watching you make a fool out of yourself. An eerie way to have fun if you ask me, but what do I know? I after all wanted to become his granddaughter in law, so I guess I had to endure. Which was why I was seated here, under a very stylish canopy with individuals I would rather not even glance at on a normal day. “Ah! Such a great weather today, isn’t it?” Coco, Hudson’s elder cousin commented, letting out a sigh as she took off her sunshades to bask in the morning sun. I just discreetly rolled my eyes at her, yeah the we
CHARLOTTE’S POVCold.That sensation right there, was what I felt through out my body. Its unrepentant poison coursing through every nerve on my skin as I laid there in the slightly reddish water of my bathtub. Caused by the deep cut on my arm. An injury I had inflicted on myself after knocking down the hand dryer in the bathroom as a result of my anger and frustrations.Who wouldn’t be in my situation? Who? I would love to see that person!Just then, I heard footsteps approach the bathroom and my head rose from its bent position, my eyes hopeful as I waited for the man that I wanted to walk in. The only man that could make all these heartaches go away… But all hope came crashing down as a lean physique man rather, walked in. His movements skeptical and his eyes scanning the bathroom before settling on me.Alarm shot up in his eyes as he took in my condition, “Madame!” Ethan cried out, rushing to me.“Are you okay? You’re bleeding… can you hear me?” he probed, fussing around in the ba
VALERIE’S POVA moment of silence passed after Mason’s question. Everyone keeping quiet and looking expectantly at, well… Hudson. He was the daddy here, right? His son just asked him a question then. “Daddy?” Miley pressed, blinking her green eyes at the screen.“Err-I-” Hudson stuttered, seemingly speechless at the moment as he shared a surprised look with me. But eventually, “No. I’m not married, Mason” he responded, his voice firm.“I told you!” Miley announced immediately, her eyes fixed on Mason. “But he took so many pictures with the shiny hair lady and none with mommy!” Miles argued and just then I realized what was going on. “Daddy, why didn’t you take pictures with mommy?”I felt Hudson suck a breath as he tried to come up with answers for these curious trio of mine. They had most definitely surfed the internet again despite my warnings. But then again, these things were bound to come out one day. No matter how much we wanted to avoid it, it would find a way to show its ugly h
VALERIE’S POV“What happened?!”“Sir! She just started bleeding and-“Through her nostrils?!” he bellowed, panic coursing through each word as he rushed to her small form on the living room couch, the maid following behind. “Aby, baby, can you hear me?” he called out eagerly, cupping her cheek for a bit as he tried wiping off the blood that had stained her clothes all over.“What the fuck happened here?! Why is there so much blood?” he roared, frightening the already trembling maid. “This-it has happened before Sir. She started having nose bleeds a few weeks back, but she has never passed out because of it! I just found her bleeding at the stairs when I called you and now she- she…” the maid cried out, her voice breaking as she broke into tears.But Hudson was having none of it, “Abrille.”“Abrille!!”“Shit! She’s so cold. Get James and the car, NOW!” he thundered, his eyes blazing with anger as he hurriedly cuddled the little girl to his chest before rushing to the front door. His l
HUDSON'S POV“It is! It is Hudson, it is!” she snapped, her voice cold. “You’re embarrassed and angry because people now know about me. About our dealings with each other! You wanted to keep me hidden and only meet me when you wanted to, isn’t it? That’s why you brought up that whole talk of getting us a home!”What?My blood boiled hot at those words. Was that what she was thinking? Was that why she had been giving me cold shoulder all these why?! Without trying to understand me?! “There’s a reason why I wanted to keep you hidden!” I argued, my voice loud. “There was a reason I wanted us to build a home where I can easily go to everyday after work without having to remember Charlotte was just few blocks down the street! I wanted us all to be safe, I wanted you and our kids, our family to be safe from any drama that may arise for the meantime! I never planned to keep you hidden forever, Valerie! How could say things like this?!”“Now, they know all about us what next? What next?! What
HUDSON’S POV“Hudson!”“Huddie, it was her!” a groan of frustration almost left my lips as I heard her yell from outside my office door. There really is no stopping her, is there?She wouldn’t stop screaming about like a crazy person! This was the third time she was going at it just today and honestly; I was so sick of it! But before I could move to lock my door, it flung open and in she came. Fully fledged with her brown eyes holding promises of another round of screaming. I pressed my eyes shut as I groaned inwardly, totally disliking the way my evening was going.First, I hadn’t heard from Val these past days ever since she left me standing at her company’s parking lot. That alone was enough to trouble my mind, and attending that stupid handover party with Charlotte didn’t help matters. Mom refused to listen to a word I said, all she cared about was how I was letting myself get seduced by Val.So, granting Charlotte a space in the business was her own way of reminding me what was i
CHARLOTTE’S POV“Looks like your dad and I, are going to have a longgg chat” she whispered, a chilling smirk playing on her lips as she slowly leaned away from my face. She was fond of doing this. Always looking down on me with contempt, like she was better than I was! But in as much as I wanted to blast at her for doing so, I had more pressing issues to worry about.What did she mean I should go complain to my father? What did she mean by saying they were going to have a long chat?!Could she…could she have found out something? About my father?No. No, that’s not possible!We took precautions and everything had been smooth so far. How could she know about him? Or linked our relationship together?It was impossible! Absolutely impossible!She was probably just bluffing and wanting to get a rise out of me. “Manipulative crazy bitch!” I cussed underneath my breath and turned to get her before she fully left the environment.“Hey!” I called out, my irritation reaching the roof as I watche
VALERIE’S POV“Have you had dinner, yet?“It’s past 10pm, go to bed and leave your study alone, Valerie!” I scoffed loudly at that last message. Is he scolding me now? What, no more sweet messages? No more, ‘my love’ or did my goddess take a picture today for me?Absolutely nothing!He just went all out and didn’t contact me the whole day until this very moment! What do I make of this, huh? He was protesting? A show of displeasure after my words yesterday about him waiting till I had made my decision? “Pfft! Fucking dickhead” I cussed under my breath as I partially slammed my phone on a stack of files close by. Not sending any response to those messages either. Not like I used to respond though but… whatever.Just then my phone buzzed again and I quickly grabbed it to see what other scolding text he had sent. But only after I found myself happily unlocking my phone that I realized just exactly what I was doing.“Woah, okay Valerie, okay.” I softly scolded myself, putting down the phon
