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?

Just wonder if Hudson will ever propose and remarry Val or stay status quo like what he had been doing with Charlotte , just as his partner and lover along with their kid?

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

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.

Isn’t that why she was holding out on sighing the separation papers?Regardless, in this whole situation, My Va

    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 shatte

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

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

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

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

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

    HUDSON'S POVThe cop simply straightened up at my words. “I think you need to see this, sir” he said, pulling out his phone. “This is the CCTV footage from the building opposite yours, and as you can see these men were the culprits. They came in with vans, weapons…destroyed the place and left right after! Could be an enemy or a certain person that is currently not in good terms with you. But rest assured, we are taking care of it! We will find them and keep you posted on our findings, for now I will say be careful and not leave your kids at home!” he finished, taking back his phone.I didn’t even know what to feel given this new piece of information. I didn’t even know what to think!Just a few moments ago I had thought it was Charlotte pulling a stunt and wanting to find where we lived, but this? I didn’t expect this at all and the mere realization that the entire mess in our yard was caused by a strange group of men and not Charlotte left me feeling totally disorganized.“Can I have

Meaning she wasn’t trying to tell me off.But how could Val have left already, when we talked on phone just a few minutes ago? “Are you sure about this? She really left?” I pressed, urging the young lady for any information I could get out of her.But I guess it was futile cause she simply nodded her head as a positive to respond to me. “She came in earlier today, with a few cute kids and after a while, she left! I saw her myself, Mr. Rodriguiez. But I can schedule you a meeting though, you just have to-“No, no. No worries, I will just…contact her on phone” I said, waving off her polite gesture before turning away and out of the building. My legs, taking me to the parking lot. And as I did, the more worried I became. Continuously dialing her contact without getting a response. “Where are you, Valerie?” I grumbled, allowing the robotic voice fill the air again.But just as I r

I thought you guys were close seeing as you got invited to her shopping mall party”Mrs. Thompson’s lips parted open in surprise, her eyes widening as she slowly pieced everything together. “Oh my God…” she whispered to herself, smiling with glee at the new found piece of information she had just gotten. An exciting piece of information, that was what this is!And just then a car horn sounded loudly from behind, signaling the line had began moving and Mrs. Thompson was in the way of others behind. With a gasp she faced a still smiling Valerie, “Errm, sorry Miss Hernedez!
