MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!🎇🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎉😊
VALERIE’S POV“You fool! What the hell is going on?!”“How the hell did your matter get to the news?!” Drake yelled out; his voice so loud that I winced a bit from it. That was to be expected though, considering I was listening in on his phone call with Charlotte through my secret room.“Dad, i-“Shut the fuck up! Just shut the fuck up! You’re so useless, you can’t even keep that arrogant bastard in check and yet you wanted to marry him?! You’re so useless!” he yelled, cutting her off.“I already called a person I know on the news channel, he promised to take the news down!” Charlotte defended; her voice stressed. But that was still not enough for Drake.“Take down? What’s the point of that?!” he yelled again, “Everyone has seen it already! Everyone is talking about it, even the maids here won’t stop chatting about it! My God… how did end up tied to this mess?! Just what is that Hudson up to?!”Charlotte groaned for a bit, her hands roaming her hair roughly like a mad woman. “Dad, plea
CHARLOTTE’S POV “Madame” “Madame…” Maria pleaded; her voice shaky as she held on to my phone while I vigorously switched between channels. My eyes glaring as I watched how far the news had spread on several stations. I’ve been at it for almost 5 minutes now, and so far, it seemed like every single channel just wanted to announce to the world that Hudson and Valerie had something going on! “Fucking morons!” I cussed under my breath as I passed through yet another channel! I couldn’t even believe it. How did everything become like this? How did everything turn like this?! Just a few days ago I had that bitch Valerie hunted down and I even got to know the house Hudson moved in with her. They had actually moved in together. Staying together, all happy…like a perfect family with their kids. The nerves! Here I was planning to show up at that stupid house of theirs, hoping to disagree with Hudson and have him leave with me plus, Aby. We would’ve been complete again… but rather, I woke
Valerie’s POVLater that day, after my call with Hudson ended, a series of events took place. Number one been from Hudson himself.The man was that surprising!One minute he was talking to me about ignoring everyone and then the next, he was holding a press conference and confirming our relationship himself!Like, could you believe that?!Don’t get me wrong, this way the end product I had wanted when I decided to push forward with the rumor stuff. But I never expected Hudson would take it up so fast! The plan was to act pitiful and bullied, forcing him with more rumors and cries from me so he would step forward to end it all. Publicly at that! That way Charlotte would cry more tears of blood while in that house.But look how the heavens decided to help me! They probably knew I wasn’t born with the inbuilt acting skills as my aunt or as Charlotte, and so crying or lamenting daily to Hudson would have been a struggle. They then decided to cut my journey short and make Hudson step up.Wh
VALERIE'S POV“Liam is so annoying!” I grumbled, shutting my door as I took my bags inside. My grumblings filling the air as I walked to the front door. But could you blame me? All through the ride back home, his words just kept replaying in my head. His laughter and mostly especially how much they got to me.He was right. I acted so flustered!But why though? I wasn’t in love with Hudson, that much I knew! I mean, I felt nothing along the lines of what I felt for him before when we were married. Meaning his words weren’t true, so why do I keep thinking about it?Yes, maybe I am showing a bit more kindness to Hudson now, compared to how angry I was to him but that didn’t mean anything. I was only doing so for the sake of the kids. We lived under the same roof and slept on the same sheets for heaven’s sake! I couldn’t possibly let harm come to him… right?I couldn’t … okay hold on, why am even thinking about this again?“Arghh, it’s all you’ve been doing since you left the darn restaur
CHARLOTTE’S POV“Char!”“Oh my goodness, Charlotte!”and just like that, her hurried footsteps towards me filled the air while I mentally prepared myself to get what I wanted from her. And as she got closer, her steps faltered, her grey eyes slowly taking me in as they shone with unshed tears. “Oh no... you’re so pale! Look at your skin, the eyebags…” she moaned out,I let my eyes wet with tears as she gently took my hands, her touch soft and comforting like she could understand it all. She could clearly see me… and even if it wasn’t part of the plan, I hugged her instantly. Slowly letting it all out, the pains…the hurt and absolute loneliness that these past few weeks have kept me in!All the betrayals and abandonment that have been dished out to me by the people I considered my own, my father, Raymond… and even Hudson! Most especially Hudson! He was the source of all this pain I was feeling right now! It was all him! “Mom…” I cried out, my words getting choked up in a cry as she held
HUDSON’S POV“I don’t want you to feel pressured or anything like that, this is just something I have been wanting to say for a while now” I explained, choosing my words carefully so as not to tick her off. Cause heavens know that was the last thing I wanted I right now.No, it was what I dreaded the most and have been dreading the entire day!Ever since I got to know about the news earlier today, my mind had not been at rest. First of all, I couldn’t understand who would try to sabotage us like that and what their intentions were. My first choice on the list of suspects was Charlotte of course given her history of crazy things but even the thought of it sounded ridiculous!She couldn’t have done that. Last, I remember was her trying to hold Abrille hostage so I wouldn’t leave the house, so why would she turn around to publish such rumors? Or didn’t she want Abrille anymore? Isn’t that why she was holding out on sighing the separation papers?Regardless, in this whole situation, My Va
HUDSON’S POV“Valerie,” I groaned out, breathless as my fingers dung deeper into the soft flesh that was her waist. Urging her on, as her tight walls continued to squash my shaft, taking it all the way into her delicious center and pulling it right back out, grinding the fuck out of me!“Ohh, Fuck!” she gasped, her lips trembling as her rhythm switched to circular motions, her every stroke slow and powerful. Exposing to me every inch of her, from her smooth thighs to the dripping masterpiece in between them that I just couldn’t seem to get enough of.Everything felt so good. Too good in fact, I could hardly keep my eyes open!“Oooooh, you feel so good” she moaned out, her thighs closing in on my shaft again, but this time, I found myself groaning out in pleasure as her walls clenched hard on my shaft that was deeply rooted inside of her, her fingers fisting her honey brown waves as her pace increased drastically. Intensifying the sounds of our sex slapping together.I couldn’t even dec
VALERIE’S POV“It is quite a deep cut, but luckily, he survived. If he had been brought in 20 minutes later, we may not have succeeded in stopping the bleeding and so, for now we gave him a few drugs to help him rest.” The doctor’s words replayed in my head again as I stared at the peacefully sleeping man in front of me.Sighing in relief for the at least the 100th time counting from last night up till this very moment. “He will be fine” I whispered, my words for my own assurance as I brushed a bit of his wavy hair from his forehead. “He will be fine”After watching his chest rise and fall a few times, assuring me he was still breathing fine, I relaxed back down on my seat that was literally next to the hospital bed he laid on. We’ve been here all night and now, it was morning and Hudson hasn’t woken up yet. He just laid there, looking all calm and fine as fuck, exactly the way I had left him in the building before going down for fresh air.The thought alone of everything that transpi
VALERIE'S POVWait for her, for her mind … because that is where her problem is. The accident and the suddenness of everything that happened left a scar on her, it was too much and her already delicate mind couldn’t take it. So, it shut down completely. Like her brain went on an overdrive on the day of the accident and something just snapped. Her mind only did what it thought as necessary to save itself and that was shutting down.There was no medicinal cure for it, everything just depended on her. The only thing we could do was take care of her physically, help her with her therapy sessions and try to make her life as normal as possible in other to trigger her normal self back home. The situation really was… sad.So sad, that I couldn’t stop imagining the level of shock such a little girl must’ve gone through when she found herself flying through the windscreen of a car that was on high speed and getting smashed against the iron bars of the estate gates. I couldn’t imagine… it was he
VALERIE’S POVA FEW MONTHS LATER“Mommy?”“Mommy where are you? I’m going to be late again!” Her whiny voice complained, causing me to hasten up a bit amidst the pile of colored ballet shoes.Purple slippers… purple slippers, purple slippers… where are you?Ugh, goodness me!“Where is it?!” I grumbled, totally exasperated by this absolutely annoying search that I had to do right now. This is a pair of shoes I would always see here, amidst all these other shoes but somehow, today when I actually need it, I can’t see it anywhere!“Mommy!”“I’m coming!” I sounded out, groaning in distress as I quickly grabbed a white pair before rushing out of the room and down the stairs. Anything was better than nothing at this point. Besides, white goes with any color, right? A white on purple wasn’t so bad right?“I’m coming, sweetie. Mommy is coming!” I called out, taking the steps two at a time just to get down in time before Miley would bring down the entire building with all her impatient screami
VALERIE’S POV“I will go first,” he said, facing me completely on the seat. I just nodded, relaxing my right arm on the seat so I could face him too. This position left little distance between us, but it was comforting. It felt warm, and I loved it too.I really have been loving a lot of things these days, haven’t i?“I- I want to apologize to you” he started,“For?”“For been such an idiot. For been unreliable, childish, the worse possible husband you could have gotten when we were younger! I was… you were a victim, a victim of my family’s messed up ways. It was like everyone had an agenda 5 years ago; mom wanted to pair me and Charlotte, Grandpa wanted to pair you and I, my father… my father wanted to save his ass and let the rest burn, and me… I wanted to prove Grandpa wasn’t right about everything concerning me! Everyone had a game plan, everyone except you.”“You were just yourself and so real… that’s why we couldn’t stand you. You became the victim, an innocent victim in all our
VALERIE’S POV“Is everything ready?”“Yes Val, she’s leaving now. Like right now” Rob droned, obviously tired of my repeated calls in the past 30 to 40 minutes. But could you blame me? I was the worried one right here. I mean, with Hudson aggressively sweeping through everything that has to do with or had somewhat any connection to do with Drake and Charlotte, I was bound to get worried for Lucia!I couldn’t let him get to her now he was in his beast mode.He hadn’t even come to the hospital ever since he left that morning after walking in on my conversation with Rob at the cafeteria. I admit, his features did seem gloomy but that was to be expected after receiving so much information about those around in a short span of time. It was a lot.Just a lot! And right now, he seemed to be pouring all his anger in a different direction. And that is by raiding every possible lair Drake could be hiding, taking anyone in his part too! But the crazy thing is, these people weren’t going to the p
CHARLOTTE’S POV“But no worries! You will be leaving soon enough.” She continued, her tone housing an unmistakable mockery that just angered my spirit the more her I listened to her. “I just wanted to ask how the quick lift was but I guess there’s no need for that anymore. With the way you gulped down that chilled water, you must be stressed! But stress is good though, don’t get me wrong.”“It prepares you; you know. For what is to come, at least for you right now…”“Wah… what are talking about, you fucking bitch?!” I snapped, losing all my shit right there and then! I have had enough of her, honestly!“First of all, I’m not in your house! You don’t know where I live or where I currently am, Valerie! Stop trying to get in my head! It worked at the hospital doesn’t mean it will work on me again! You think I don’t know what you did? You think I don’t know how you played everything yesterday?! Those fucking family members may be blinded by you but I’m not! I’m not blind at all, Valerie a
CHARLOTTE’S POVInstantly my neck snapped in her direction, eyes wide as alarm sprung in my heart. “What?” “Madame,”“Wah…what did you say?” I stammered, blinking repeatedly as i tried to see through the rage of emotions swelling up from within me right now; confusion, alarm, disbelief and above all… fear. Fear of been trapped in a cell for whatever reason!“Madame, they are-“I said, what did you say?!” I snapped, my voice ringing out in the room as anxiety got the best of me. “Who the hell did you say is at the door?”“The co-cops madame!” Maria stuttered, clearly sharing my panic as she tried to conceal her trembling fingers. “They have a warrant, and… it’s about the men we paid madame. What are we going to do? How do we escape this, they- they said there is a recording which proves that you indeed paid those guys, Madame. What do we do? How do we-“What did you say to them?” I interjected; my eyes murderous as I closed in on her. “What did you tell them at the door, Maria?”“I- I
CHARLOTTE’S POV“You fucking blonde bitch!”“How dare you! How dare you, Charlotte?!” The voice which I so much hate that I recognize right now shrilled in my ears. Literally threatening to render me deaf at such early hours of the fucking morning!‘Argh, this pompous bitch again.’ I groaned under my breath, groggily rubbing my eyes open as her voice continued to scream through my phone speakers. “You have a lot of nerves, Charlotte. So much nerves, but guess what? I’m going to deal with you. I’m going to deal with you stupid ass, you hear me?!”“Hey!” I yelled back, snapping at her. “What do you want, Mrs. Thompson?! What the fuck is wrong with you and why are you screaming in my ears at this time of the morning?! People are still sleeping you know!”“Sleeping?!” She mocked, laughing loudly like a manic. “You really are something, aren’t you?! You dare sleep after what you’ve done?!”What?“What are you talking about?” I asked, some sort of clarity coming to me as I looked around my
HUDSON'S POVWith one last exhale to calm the nerves, “I apologize.” I said, “I apologize for showing up on your property without an invite. For continuously trying to barge my way through every time i came here… I have thought about it all through my time out at your entrance and it truly doesn’t sound good.”“So, you do realize that, hm?” He mocked calmly, keeping his eyes trained on me.“Though my means was and still is wrong at the moment, but my reason for this is truly urgent.” I explained, “I am here today, because I am guilty man! A man that has done you wrong and simply disregarded you all these years, especially after finding out that things weren’t as I assumed. I have… I have hurt your daughter. Your granddaughter, Valerie. I hurt her, I abandoned her and totally neglected her when we were married!”“Oh? So, you married her?” He sneered, the distaste in his tone clear. “You married a daughter of mine without my knowledge?!”“Yes!” I confirmed, taking the bull by the horns.
HUDSON’S POV“I’m sorry sir, but the chairman is currently resting and won’t be able to see you.” The elderly man who I assumed was the chief butler of the mansion addressed me. His words, not surprising at all seeing as they were literally the exact words he used on me a few weeks back.Ever since I had officially gotten back together with Val after our last issue over housing arrangements, I had made it a point to reach out to her family. To get to know them, introduce myself and let them know I would be taking responsibility for my kids and Valerie seriously. Unlike how I had behaved 5 years ago.5 years ago, I wasn’t even aware Val had a family. That she had people, or even ones as powerful and commanding as the Hernandez backing her… I was clueless and quite foolish, as I have let you all know by now. But I couldn’t continue to be like that.I couldn’t continue to make up excuses and not take responsibility for my actions, especially as now, I badly wanted to be with her. Making
