VALERIE’S POV

It 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 cal

    VALERIE POV“Goodness! I have no idea which rapid dog bit my son that day when he married you.” I clenched my fingers unconsciously around the damn papers while my “dear” mother-in-law rained insults on me.“Not only did you stop him from marrying someone decent like Charlotte, you also went ahead to hurt her and my grandkids!”“I never pushed her! Sh-”“You’re a monster!” she yelled venomously. I took shaky steps backwards in disbelief. Me? A monster!?“Aren’t you going to say anything?!” I spat angrily at Hudson, the very man who was supposed to be my husband.“You mean defend your lies?” He questioned; his expression was cold and mocking.“How about you tell everyone how you secretly stopped donating blood for Charlotte, huh?” I froze at his words. How did he find out? That was just two months ago.I had been feeling weak a lot and missed going one time, and the second time I went for it, I found out I was pregnant. I was finally pregnant after trying so hard for three years.Surel

    VALERIE POV It’s been over an hour since I signed the divorce papers and left the entire Rodriguez family gawking in surprise downstairs, and yet here I was still crying.I may have been quite bold downstairs but honestly? It hurt, so fucking much! My heart felt like a thousand horse had stepped on it and I couldn’t breathe. My 4 years obsession had finally come to an end and with it my shattered heart. For 4 years of my life, I had loved and cherished one man, did everything in my power to make him see me but somehow it only seemed to make him hate me more.I stared down at the little garden below my window, a rose bunch that Grandpa had specially planted for me. Poor man, he didn’t know what had gone down today. The flowers danced happily with the gentle breeze, as though mocking me. "Go ahead, laugh at me," I croaked, my voice cracking with emotion. "I'm pretty stupid, aren't I?""You most definitely are." I spun around immediately, my anger flaring as I faced the evilness herself.

    HUDSON’S POV“Who would have thought that we would be free of that ungrateful brat?” Mom beamed, casting me a meaningful look.“I know, right? Good riddance to bad rubbish." Aunt Claire added with a chuckle. “What’s important now is for Charlotte to nurse her health; my grandson can’t suffer any more stress, okay?”“Yes, aunt, I will be careful now,” Charlotte said with a big smile.“Nonsense, call me mom,” my mom gushed out. And it only made Charlotte smile brighter.It was comforting to see her smiling now, rather than shed those tears that broke my heart.Suddenly, Valerie’s crying face flashed through my mind. Her pouty pink lips, trembling from holding back tears that dripped down those soft cheeks. A strange feeling overtook my body at the memory and left a bitter taste in my mouth, but I immediately pushed it down.She tried to hurt Charlotte and my unborn children as well. That’s unforgiveable!“Baby, baby, are you okay?” Charlotte gently tapped me. I blinked in surprise. “Yea

    VALERIE’S POV“Ma’am?” Rob, my assistant, called out for the third time since we arrived at the building for the signing. We are currently in the underground parking lot kept specially for VVIPs. It's been almost 30 minutes and I still couldn’t find it in me to get down from the car. Trust me, this was not the first time I had to come for a partnership signing, but this was the first time I would be seeing Hudson after our divorce. If I said I wasn’t tense about it, I would be lying.It’s been 5 years already, but it still seemed like yesterday. The memories of him and his family are still fresh on my mind. And especially today, it felt more like an open wound. Liam had repeatedly offered to come on my behalf, to save me the heartache, but I refused.This was my fight. After my experience with them, I fought constantly to be who I am today, building up my walls and confidence that they had trampled upon so ruthlessly. And I most definitely cannot let one meeting shatter all my eff

    VALERIE'S POV“Mommy!” “Oh no,” I moaned, paused mid-air, and gritting my teeth at my poor attempt to tiptoe to my room.“I can see you mummy, there’s no need to hide” Mason said in his ‘as a matter of fact’ tone.I sighed ‘Okay Okay, you got me.” I said with a soft smile and raised my hands in defeat. But he didn’t seem phased at all, he just stared at me with a bored expression.I had to change tactics then. “Oh, baby, you shouldn’t be up, look at the time. Gosh!” I exclaimed.“Mommy you deceived us!” Miley voice rang out from the kitchen. “Me?” I replied with fake disbelief.Almost immediately sounds of her little flip flops filled the air as she ran to the living room, with an …ice cream coated hair??“Whoa! What’s with your hair?” I exclaimed and touched her hair; it was indeed ice cream.I looked at her tiny frowning face for explanation, but she just huffed and turned to the side. “Little Miss dramatic huh?” I teased as a slight chuckle left my lips.Just then, I heard tiny fe

    HUDSON’S POV “James?” “James!” I roared, glaring daggers at anyone that dared gave me side glances. “Yes, boss” he replied and immediately appeared at my right-hand side. “I need every single detail about Valerie and all her movements from the last 5 years!” “Yes boss, I completely understand” he replied hastily. “And this time, do it right!” I barked and tugged the keys of my black Bentley out of his hands. With anger surging inside of me, I just turned on the car and sped off, away from the building for the event. Most important guests were gone already and that bloody twat was the very first to leave!The nerves! Leaving me behind to the guests like I was some errand boy of hers! She even dared to threaten me. Me! "Can you believe it?" I chuckled darkly, my annoyance increasing. After 5 years of her disappearing on me, she shows up and does this? Pretending like I never existed? That gold digging bitch! She had clearly found a new rich man to prey on, one that even allow

    HUDSON'S POVName: Valerie Ann Marie Hernandez Status: CEO and sole heir of De Hernandez Dreamz Marital status: Single Legal Guardian: Henry Hernandez Relationship: Grandfather and chairman of De Hernandez Dreamz Parents; Dead"Valerie, you bloody liar!" I growled, roughly running my hands through my hair. It's been complete 20 minutes since I found out that Valerie was indeed a member of the Hernandez family.The very family that owned and ran the biggest corporation centered on furniture designing and decor.You know what's worse? She was not even just a mere family member but the sole heir! The fucking CEO!This had got to be some sort of trick right? but James sources were always legit. And I for one, had always thought Liam Hernandez was the CEO of De Hernandez Dreamz. He WAS the CEO, but that was only until 5 years ago. It was clearly stated in the file.The same 5 years ago that Valerie signed the damned divorce papers and walked out on me.So, that was the reason she di

    HUDSON’S POVAfter recovering from my initial shock, I glared at my phone and my voice dropped dangerously low. “Look here you conniving little cheat, I have your life in my hands. So, it will do you well to speak to me nicely! While you still can that is,” I growled out.The line became silent, good. At least she knows when to listen. Before I could take another breath, a loud crackling laughter flowed through my phone speakers. What? Is she... laughing? This is funny to her?"Oh, my, you..." she started, her words dissolving into uncontrollable laughter. The sound of her crackling giggles filled the air, taunting me with each passing moment. My face darkened into a tight scowl, the more she laughed. My brow furrowed into the most intense frown I'd worn in years as I stood stiff, my hands clenched into fists at my sides, listening to her struggle to compose herself between gaps of laughter. "My goodness!... That was... hilarious Hudson, were you trying to scare me or something?” Sh

    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

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

    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

    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

    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 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

    CHARLOTTE’S POVLucia was right. Hudson could decide not to come home but that doesn’t mean I can’t go to him here at the company. He may ignore me but he would most definitely not cause a scene at the office where public eyes could see. Hence, making Lucia’s plan to go to his office very efficient.How didn’t I think of this before?“Excuse me Ma’am, but who are you?” the security just outside the elevator on Hudson’s office floor asked, blocking my path. “What?”“Without a pass you can’t get through Ma’am” he said, looking unapologetic as he literally stopped me in front of the few staffs present. What sort of embarrassment is this?! “What the hell are you doing?” I spat in disgust as my eyes ran down his form, “Don’t you know who I am? What kind of sick joke is this?!”“No offense Ma’am but noise is restricted on this floor” he retorted, sparking my irritation as he communicated to God knows who on that communicating device seated on his waist. Soon after more security came rushing

    VALERIE’S POV“I’m so sorry… I’m so sorry!’ he cried out, his blue eyes glistening as tears rolled down each of them. “I didn’t know… I did not realize how bad my actions affected you. It was all my fault! I was stupid, young and very foolish, Valerie!”“I didn’t wan to lose to Grandpa because he had said I would end up loving you, so I was mean to you. I was cold and rude! I had thought that, if I was like that it would’ve made you give up and backed out of you and Grandpa’s deal! It was foolish! I am so ashamed of myself, Valerie. I am so ashamed” he explained, tears rolling down his cheeks as he held my hands, desperately trying to explain himself.And I didn’t know how to feel about that.When I started talking, I had no intention of evoking this reaction from him. I never even imagined he would behave like this! Crying, apologizing and begging for me not to leave him. They were all I ever wanted from him back then.
