CHARLOTTE’S POV“I’m not leaving him”“I’m not splitting up with him!” I yelled out as I stormed to the direction of the living room that I knew my dad would be present in, with Raymond hot on my heels. “I’m not leaving Hudson, cancel that countersue right now!”“Kiddo!” Raymonds shushed, his panic clear as he tried to pull me away from the direction of the living room. “Please, let’s do this tomorrow. Your father just finished handling a troublesome job, you know how he gets on days like this”My annoyance flared at his excuses; he was obviously trying to avoid the main topic on ground! They all were! “Get off me!” I snapped at him, shrugging my arm away from him as I glared. “You all…how could you?! How could he apply for a sue against my man and even announce it on the news! Without my consent, Raymond! He is my man, Raymond! My man!”I watched as is eyes squinted, slanting to the side at my yelling’s. My voice echoed everywhere in the house and I loved it! Everyone should hear me!
CHARLOTTE'S POV“Get out!” she said simply, moving towards me again. Her gaze purposeful and dead serious, I could tell she wasn’t playing but before I could give a response. “Get out of here!” she yelled, pushing me backwards again, this time with more force compared to earlier.That was when I knew this bitch wasn’t playing at all. What the hell did she mean by doing this? Right here! In front of everyone! To disgrace me?! To proof she had the man and I didn’t?!“Hey!” I snapped, aiming to push her back as well as my anger broke free. But she immediately snapped my hands away, clenching it tight before pushing me backwards again. This time, into a clique of nurses close by. “Get security!” she called out, “She is not allowed here”And like a movie, a nurse ran out. Obviously to do as she had spoken. That means, I would be… thrown out? Thrown out of a hospital that my Huddie laid in all hurt?! I didn’t even know if he was okay! First, I hurt him. Maybe not literally but still, it was
HUDSON’S POV“I’ve just talked with Charlotte, she decided to move out of the house. You don’t need to worry about the kids anymore, I got you!”A smile crept to my lisp as I read that last line; ‘I got you’. It felt extremely comforting to hear, just as it was having her sleep beside me on the hospital bed for the rest of the day before she finally went home to the kids.That was also before we publicly announced the end of our partnership as well. An extremely closed off event to be honest, not the way I would’ve wanted it but the situation demanded it. Plus, Val absolutely refused for me to be on my feet for more than an hour. A bit laughable if you ask me, but I loved every minuet of it! To watch her fuzz over me brought me so much assurance and comfort that finally silenced the constant doubtful voice in my head. It has always been there, making me feel like what we had wasn’t real and Val just tolerated me for sex and the kids. But now, I was sure. I was so sure it wasn’t like
CHARLOTTE’S POV“Char?”“Ohh Charlotte…” the voice sang out, its mocking laughter following soon after as it echoed everywhere in the hotel room that I currently stood in. Looking all confused and properly scared to the bones as I couldn’t find the source of the sound.Someone was definitely talking; laughing and taunting at me, right here in this hotel room I had booked after no luck at getting into Hudson’s other buildings that he owned! Everything he owned had cut me off! All the entitlements I enjoyed and had been enjoying all these years, framing my lavish lifestyle… everything has been cut off!It was just me now.Me and this hotel room, plus the voice I as currently hearing inside it!“Don’t tell me you don’t recognize me now, Char” the voice continued, sounding clearer and clearer as a silent sob left my mouth. My lips trembling as I refused to believe it. I refused to believe the obvious truth that was right before me.“No,” I whispered, my hands flying to my ears to block ou
CHAPTER 230VALERIE’S POV“I don’t-I don’t know…”“You don’t know? You don’t know what exactly?” he questioned; his tone perplexed. “Charlotte, you accused me of emotional abuse! On national Tv! I have even received a copy from court concerning the details of YOUR sue! And you sit there to cry that you didn’t do it? It was someone else and you don’t know who that is?! Can you hear yourself?”“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry baby” were the words she kept whispering. Her cries filling the air as I listened, as we all listened. Myself, Hudson and Charlotte herself!“I’m sorry Huddie, I will fix this I promise! I will close the case right now and-” she whispered; her voice thick with emotion as she addressed him.“No need!” He interjected, his voice firm. “Just send the documents after you’ve signed them, if you want that is. Otherwise, see you in court, Charlotte. I’m not letting you ruin my daughter!”“No. No way! No Huddie, no!” Charlotte cried out, her voice panicky and I knew he was leaving.
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

Your father just finished handling a troublesome job, you know how he gets on days like this”My annoyance flared at his excuses; he was obviously trying to avoid the main topic on ground!

Everyone should hear me!
HUDSON'S POVThe doctor came running a few minutes later, and after a few checks he assured me, everything was in order before leaving us. “Have you been crying?” he asked, his voice soft as he stared at me with worried eyes.“I-I haven’t” I responded, avoiding his gaze as I patted down his sheets. Moving next to pat down my hair, and cheeks, anything just to avoid those intense blue interrogative eyes. He wouldn’t let it go, that was one thing I had realized about him recently; he was hella stubborn and strangely protective. Almost like how Mason gets when he sees a new face around me. Imagine that first, and then times 5 of that equals Hudson’s behavior.Just imagine it.Right when I was about to get up to make myself busy and put a few distance between us, he held my arm, halting my movements and almost pulling me right on top of him due to the sheer suddenness and force of everything. My eyes widened as I took in our situation, or at least MY situation! My ass was all the way out
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
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
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
