VALERIE’S POV

“Valerie,”

One word.

Just one word, my name even but right now hearing it seemed like a sentence.

A death sentence.

To the few seconds of my life that I had before coming into this room, the plans that I made, what I intended to do tomorrow and most of all, to the life I had recently started getting used to. A life I so badly wanted to hold on to, doing my all to ensure nothing goes wrong. Or at least not end just yet.

But it seems the heavens had other plans. ‘The lying tongue must be condemned, right?’

Cause I sure was starting to receive that condemnation right now. Right here, in this moment… by the blue depths fixated on me right now.

“What is all this, Valerie?” His deep voice resounded in my ears, confirming I was not imagining things. That what I was seeing right now… was all real. All real, like a scene from a horror movie. And I was so not prepared.

With a soft gasp, my lips parted. My legs trembling as quickly the intense realization of how bad this exact situ

    VALERIE'S POVMy lips parted slightly at his tone, completely offended. “Why are you making it sound like I’m some evil person?” I questioned, wiping every tear on my cheek dry as I glared at him.“Well, aren’t you?” He pressed, “If you doing all this; discreetly installing cameras in my house, invading my privacy, monitoring my movements and interactions, approaching and seducing me with revenge at the center of your heart, leading me on, taking advantage of me, using me in all aspects! Sex, comfort, warmth, safety… even involving my kids in this! Making me believe… making me believe we were official, that we had a good thing going!”“We were official!” I insisted hotly, but he didn’t seem to care. “If you doing all this is not called evil, then I don’t know what else is!” He spat, “This is me that you played with! My feelings and emotions! You used my love for you against me! That’s what you did!”“Well, I didn’t ask you to fall for me, did i?” I snapped, equaling raising my voice.

    Valerie’s Pov“Is mommy, okay?”“Mommy? Oh!”“Don’t worry, sweetie. She’s probably just tired, let’s leave her be, hm?” Nanny Beth’s voice fade in the background, my mind dulling out the conversations around me as I cuddled up myself even more on one of the living room couches. Inhaling the strong masculine scent of the sweater I currently had on, which actually belonged to Hudson.The sounds of shuffling footsteps soon filled the air, let me know they were indeed leaving me be, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Silence was all I needed right now. To think.It been hours, 24 hours at least since I last laid eyes on Hudson. Since we had that exchange at the secret room, and since he found out about everything that I had so desperately wanted him to know nothing of. Not one of my favorite moments I tell you. That night was simply the worst!So bad that I couldn’t stop crying on my steering wheels, unable to properly see the road. The tears just kept falling, choking me as his words rang

    HUDSON’S POV“Daddy is making dinner, yay!” Miley's excited voice filled the air.“Yup!” I concurred, enthusiastic as I turned around to face the kids- my guests. “Good evening, pretty princesses and handsome princes! You can call me chef of sweet meals, and I will be preparing dinner!”“Yay!” Aby clapped happily as I introduced myself, smiling as she looked into the camera.“Since when did daddy become a chef? Do they learn that in business school too?” Mason asked curiously, looking around for answers. So typical of Mason, linking stuff around and asking questions as soon as they popped in his head.“No sweetie, no one learns cooking at business school.” Her sweet voice sounded in the air, answering Mason’s question. And in no time her face came into view, her smile flawless as she angled the camera to capture herself as well. “Daddy knows nothing about cooking, which is why I am here recording this moment! First time ever for the popular Hudson Rodriguiez to be in the kitchen! We h

    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.

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

    HUDSON'S POVMy very house where I moved out from to be with Val!Could you believe that? I was literally staring at every nook and cranny of a house i had lived for 5 years, before finally moving out and currently about to sell off because I wanted no use of it. I wanted no memory of it.“Good lord,” I muttered, turning on my feet as I took in the entire space. Feeling more and more like a bucket of cold water had been dozed on me as several thoughts plagued my mind. My throat going dry as I blinked repeatedly, trying to make sure this wasn’t some sort of trick that my mind was doing. But it didn’t go away, none of the stuff I saw in the room; they didn’t go away. And that was when real terror engulfed my heart, my mind going into a state of panic as I looked again at the screens. Sighting everywhere the cameras covered; From the front doors, down to the living room, the kitchen, dining area, stairs… my room that Charlotte destroyed! Charlotte’s room! Aby’s even! maids’ quarters… e

    HUDSON’S POVWe are advised that in everything we do in life, we should be patient, right? The patient dog gets the fattest bone! Isn’t it?How come that didn’t seem to be applicable in this situation? In this very moment where I was watching my woman with another man for heaven’s sake! In fact, it seemed like the more I stayed in my car, the more unanswered my questions became and somehow, I wanted those answers right here and right now!At least right now when both Val and that damned bastard had left the building.I couldn’t even begin to understand what they were doing. On one hand, thoughts of them together… meeting up behind my back had already plagued my mind. But on the other, I couldn’t seem to understand why they weren’t staying long inside the building. First, it was Rob that left and now, Val has also driven out!Although she did spend quite a few minutes longer compared to how fast Rob had left, but that did not stop my curiosity.Without wasting time, I jumped out of my

    VALERIE’S POV“Something wrong?”I just shook my head as a no, to Rob’s question. “It’s nothing, Hudson is probably having a hard time with the kids.” I explained, it was his day at home with them. So maybe… maybe he was having a hard time.“You often say he is extremely good with the kids, what could be the problem today?” Rob pressed, voicing the exact same question that came to my mind the moment I told myself Hudson was having a hard time.Either way, I just shrugged it off and faced the matter at hand. “So, where is the money?” I asked, facing Rob and the extra person in our midst. “Mr.…”“My name is irrelevant!” The surprisingly young man spoke, “I’m just here to ensure you get your locker, and this is it. Whatever you find in there has to be what you’re looking for. This is the part where I take my leave” he concluded abruptly, giving a slight bow before leaving. Not even letting me speak further.“That was hasty,” I scoffed, facing Rob as he used the key given by Mr. ‘I do not

    HUDSON’S POV“Empty,” I completed, my stance frozen at the door with James as the kids ran inside to check out the place.“Wow, mommy’s office is so cool!” Mason gushed, a proud smile on his face as he moved to her desk. The same desk that I could’ve sworn Val just complained of having so much paperwork on! Or was I imagining things now?“We are finally visiting mommy’s office. Look at all these drawings!” Miles voiced out, gaining Mason’s attention as he ran over to the left corner of the wide spaced office. Everything just screamed Valerie. From the glass walls to her dignified desk, to the couches at the center of the space, the wall papers… even the furniture! They all added up to soak in her personality, warm. Yet refined.My Val was a warm and dignified woman. A fucking female leader, who was also drop dead gorgeous even after pulling off triplets! That was my woman.And she just told me, merely few minutes ago that she was seated on that desk! With tons of paper works! But here
