VALERIE POV "C’mon guys, chop chop, let's go!" I called out for the third time since I came downstairs. These kids… I’m the lady in the house, with all the makeup and normal womanly delays I somehow still end up ready before those 3. “You guys! I’m going to be late for work, come downstairs, will you?” I said, flinging my arms up in disbelief. After few moments of no reply, I decided to take more action than just standing and yelling to myself, because it seems that was exactly what I was doing, talking to myself. I moved to the kitchen island and grabbed my keys, making sure to jingle the bunch in the process, “I am leaving your asses behind,” my voice rang out, higher than before now, using the keys to make a whole lot of noise like I was opening the front door. It seemed to work too because in seconds a pair of dirty blonde hair and green eyes showed up at the top of the stairs, Miles. His green orbs searched the living room frantically and when they finally met mine in the li

VALERIE'S POV“Why will he be present? It’s our inspection, what would he do there?” I bombarded Rob with questions. Just when I thought I wouldn’t have to see that dick head Hudson at least till another meeting or something.“Erm, its his building ma’am.” Rob reminded, “And so what?”“So… he could… possibly… want to show us around,” he said slowly, picking his words as he noticed me narrowing my eyes at him. “I mean, what’s the harm in that?” he said innocently.I scowled at him; my lips pressed in a tight line. “You’re really asking me that? Really?” But he just stared blankly at me and adjusted his glasses a bit. A habit he always did whenever he got uncomfortable. I sat upright on the couch and let my eyes bore into his for few minutes until he squirmed awkwardly, and started repeatedly clearing his throat, all to avoid my gaze. “Wah? what is that? What’s wrong with your throat?” I sneered. He blinked, “Ma’am? My throat? nothing at all ma’am!” And he went ahead to cough a bit “N

Valerie's POV The air seemed to shift as the door to the posh Bentley swung open. First, his squeaky-clean black dress shoe hit the ground with a thud, and all the workers stood still, every one of them pausing in their tracks as their eyes fixed on the luxurious car with a mixture of awe and reverence. I glanced around a bit and sure enough, even Rob had paused in his tracks, his usual composure momentarily replaced by a look of wonder. Heck, even the temperature felt different. There was this commanding chill in the air, one that seemed to make the temperature to rise in anticipation, and he hadn’t even stepped out yet! Then his imposing figure stepped out, clad in a perfectly tailored gray suit that accentuated his broad shoulders and chiseled features. I found myself unconsciously suck in a breath as my eyes ran through those sinful muscles that budged as he shut the door of the car. Then our eyes met, and without warning, a shiver ran down my spine from the sheer inte

Hudson's POV"Where is she?""Where is she?!" I thundered, my voice echoing through the white-painted halls of Jubilee high schools. I shouldn't be doing this, but I can barely think straight right now. "How can a 5-year-old little girl disappear under your watch?! Just how foolish are you?"I spat angrily at the class teacher, who was cowered in a corner, eyes wide, shaking with fear like a leaf. "I-I don't know, Mr. Rodriguez," she stammered.She looked just about ready to pass out. I can't believe this spineless thing was allowed to be the teacher in my daughter's class. "Mr. Rodriguez..."The proprietress of the school called out breathlessly as she literally ran towards me from the end of the hall. "Mr. Rodri—Sir--…". A bunch of other teachers were behind, all of whom looked equally panicked.They better be, because my child is missing! As soon as she came within range, she slowed down and tried to compose herself while still breathing heavily. "We're so sorry for...I cut her off

Hudson's POV The next few days were a blur of Charlotte trying to coax me into talking things through, but I remained resolute, spending more and more time at the office.To the outside I was mad at Charlotte but deep inside of me I knew what I was truly avoiding- that persistent thought that kept resurfacing again and again in my mind despite the workload. Who the hell would Valerie bring as a date? Some wealthy, older man, no doubt, who she could easily manipulate. Not my concern anyway, yet the thought lingered. There was still the issue with Charlotte that I had to deal with, and occasionally, I'd feel a glimmer of willingness to smoothen things over, but then the memory of Abrielle alone in the empty school yard would surface on my mind and reignite my anger all over again. Charlotte even went ahead to enlist my Mom's help, which is why I found myself standing in front of the house, taking a lecture on 'peaceful living' instead of actually getting into the car. I was already

Hudson's POVCan't they keep their eyes to themselves?! And why in heaven's sake was she dressed like that?! I was seething with frustration, could barely stay calm on my feet whereas, she was busy moving about without a care in the world. My mind raced with disbelief as she approached a small group of expensive dressed elderly women, the Capitalists! It was rumored that those women secretly ran the governments and she … she knew them? Her smile was radiant, sparkling with excitement as she hugged them affectionately. This was unbelievable. She moved on greeting more people, her every stride filled with grace and confidence, intensified by the mesmerizing glow that shun on her face from the lights hitting her jewelry. She was effortlessly commanding attention, and I couldn't help but follow her every move. Realizing I was staring, I quickly cleared my throat a bit and took a drink from a server passing by. Before I could take a sip, my eyes acted on its own and found her again, fo

Valerie's pov It took about an hour of convincing to stop my trio from coming with me to the event and an extra 30 to 40 minutes of assuring Miley I wasn't going to meet her daddy. The girl was a tough one, I wonder who she gets it from. But, I love her regardless. I of all people should know exactly how it feels to not have a father or someone to call that either, haven lost both parents to an accident all in one day at the tender age of 5. It opened me to harsh realities that I never even imagined possible. Growing up was almost traumatizing, painful even especially in a family like mine where no one gave a shit about you if they weren't gaining anything from you. But at least I had Nanny Beth, Liam and Grandpa. They were more than enough, something I should have realized earlier before stepping my foot in Hudson's family mansion. But my babies won't live like I did, they will have the love of both mom and dad, Nanny Beth and Grandpa of course. I won't deprive them of that b

Hudson's POVI turned around with furrowed eyebrows, and almost immediately my lips parted in absolute surprise, my eyes widening as my brain processed what was happening before my eyes.Charlotte, who I last saw shining and delicate looking in her fancy sky blue dress, was now bawling her eyes while half running towards our designated seat. Her sky-blue dress was now a dark shade of burgundy, purple and… cream? I couldn't even tell anymore, the colors were all mixed up in different shades all over her dress, even her hair!From the top of her head to her toes was dozed up with an unhealthy amount of wine.Even her makeup was running, mascara making long lines down her chin mixing with her tears as she increased her pace towards me. It was the spitting image of a crying child, only that Charlotte was not a damned child! My surprised expression slowly contorted to a deep frown and irritation as the people around burst out in a fit of giggles and outrage.By the time she got close to ou

VALERIE’S POV“I did it all for you, Huddie!”“It was all for you. Because I loved you and still do!” Charlotte cried out, her voice raw with emotion like she wasn’t the one spewing shit just a moment ago. Gosh! This woman… I would never understand her, never!“I love you, Huddie. Let’s start all over, please” She pleaded, sniffling back her tears as she moved to his direction. But instead, all she got was cold shoulder from Hudson as he walked right past her, like she was nothing in his eyes. “The only person I need to start all with is my woman who I abandoned because of how foolish I was. Next to her, you’re simply insignificant and that’s all you will ever be!”Woah‘Look at that nonchalance people! That man is so done with her ass!’And he doesn’t know the full story yet!

HUDSON’S POV“Wah…what is she talking about?”“What is she talking about, Gregory?!” Mom’s voice bounced off in the air, further sinking in Charlotte’s words into my mind.“I don’t-i-Amelia listen” Dad tried to explain, gently taking mom’s hands. “I have no idea what she is-“You have no idea what I’m saying?” Charlotte cut in; her tone irritated. “You have no idea about the fact that we’ve been meeting up at hotels behind her back?! That you’ve been sleeping with me? or that Abrille is actually your daughter and not my Huddie’s?! What exactly is confusing you, Gregory? Or are you just trying to make me look stupid?!”“What?!” Mom exclaimed; her expression crowned with the exact same feeling of disbelief that I felt watching this entire show!A show! That’s what’s happening here!A fucking show for the premieres!“You…”“You…Greg… what?!” Mom shrilled again, disgust filling her bones as she immediately moved out of dad’s hold. “What th- you…Haha! This is a joke! A one big joke! What t

Valerie that stood by the side blinked back her tears a few times, her eyes feeling heavy from watching the actual videos and hearing grandpa silently sob in front of the TV screen. Even Amelia seemed shaken by it all. Most of those videos… she vividly remembered fighting against those accusations on Charlotte. She remembered even throwing a few people out of the house simply because she believed they were just ganging up against Charlotte when they knew she had no one and could barely stand up for herself as a result of her weak body.Little did she know… little did she know!You would think it was all over after going through so many videos, watching so many anger provoking scenes… but Hudson went further, wanting to see it all for himself! Wanting to see for himself the continuous wicked sneer Charlotte had on her face in every single scene!As though to convince himself that there was no redemption for her, she wasn’t confused when all these happened. They were all deliberate and

THIRD PERSON POV“Abrille is your daughter, Charlotte!” Valerie added, taking Amelia’s cue. “Why do you want to waste her life the same way you wasted her sibling 5 years ago?!”“What? 5-5 years ago?” Gregory stuttered, his interest for the conversation now growing. “What is she talking about?”“Everyone here knows how Charlotte lost that baby, Valerie!” Amelia spat angrily, “You know this as well, are you trying to make the situation here worse intentionally?”Valerie smirked, putting down he rout stretched arm as she faced Amelia. “Oh? You haven’t heard?” she mocked, her tone further intensifying Charlotte’ tension.“Heard what?” Charlotte spat, eyeing Valerie with distain.“Well, I heard that someone saw how Charlotte fell that day and lost the baby!” Valerie announced loudly, catching everyone’s interest. “The person that saw her said something really striking you know, that Charlotte didn’t even bleed that day and she-“HEY!” Charlotte roared, startling everyone and most especiall

THIRD PERSON POV“Mr. Rodriguiez’s blood is not a match!” The doctor’s voice sounded through the air and with it came the rapt attention of everyone present. Including the very angry Hudson that wouldn’t look away from Charlotte a moment ago. His child’s life was way more important than the foolish woman that was her mother.Everyone was tensed alright, but no one had their heart rate increasing by a tempo after the doctor’ words. Only Charlotte’s did. And with more words from the doctor, so did her heart rate tripled. Leaving sweaty and uncomfortable as she stood there.“I’m afraid we need the mother to test for the transfusion as well,” the doctor continued, as he turned to face Valerie. “Can we begin, ma’am?”At his suggestive words, Valerie became dumbfounded. Her eyes wide in surprise that the doctor thought she was Abrille’s mother, while she was not. “Oh no, doctor! I-I’m not her mother” she rushed to explain, much to Charlotte’s annoyance and Hudson’s embarrassment. Never did h

HUDSON’S POV“Val?”“Daddy!” Mason called out, his excited voice echoing in the hallway as he rushed to me. My arms wrapping around him, relived to finally see them all okay but still equally worried though. “Hey, little man” I mumbled, perking his head as I did the same for the others the moment I reached them. Instantly pulling Valerie into my arms for a hug, as her flowery fragrance filling my nostrils and giving me a much-needed calmness to my mind. Otherwise, I knew I was going to go crazy.“What happened? What happened to Aby?” I asked, pulling back from her embrace as I searched for answers. But right then, my eyes caught sight of Grandpa. “Grandpa? How are you-“I called them,” Val explained, “Right after I got off the phone with you the first time, Grandpa called so I told him where we were and he came with everyone”My eyes followed her hand gesture and sure enough, both my dad and mom were sat right beside Grandpa and I hadn’t even noticed them. “Son, we heard what happened

“What the hell?” He fumed, moving immediately to check the keypad and sure enough it was not broken as he would like to think. Meaning whoever went in knew the passcode!“How the hell is this happening?!” his eyebrows were knitted in an indefinite frown as he headed in, his blood boiling as he anticipated to see just who had the audacity to-to do this!His blue eyes faced the long line of shelves that graced the inner room as he stood, scanning every angle, trying to spot a difference or something out the ordinary from what he was used to!His steps slow as he moved, listening for sounds… his body alert to catch the fucking thief in case of situations of escape. And just then, he heard it. The sound that he had been waiting for, the scratching sounds of a rat. A scrawny rat that so desperately reached for something that was very much not his to begin with! And with that, he followed the sound.His heart hammering in his chest with adrenaline as he moved past shelves and more shelves,

THIRD PERSON POV“What is going on?” Hudson muttered to himself, his eyebrows furrowing as he continuously tapped on his phone’s screen. This was the third text he was sending out to Val already, and still yet he hadn’t gotten a response from her. Which was so unlike her.They normally exchanged texts during this time of the day and besides, she was to meet up with his grandpa today with the kids for a supposed picnic. A picnic he knew was purposely set up by his grandpa so his mom could meet the kids. His kids!Of which he didn’t approve of course. His mom was yet to render an apology for her absolute disregard for his children, her grandkids! So, of course he didn’t approve of her meeting up with them. But what could he do when his own Grandpa was intentionally pushing for this?His reasons for this were obvious, even to the blind. How could Hudson neglect this?But currently what worried him was been unable to get through with his woman-Val, to understand the current situation of th

VALERIE’S POV“Just go down the left, Ma’am! She is currently in our OR” A nurse at the kids ward said to me, pointing at a corner in front. And immediately, I thanked her, hurrying off with Miley in my arms. The boys right behind us, alongside Rosey and the other maid that had joined in the car earlier.“Excuse me! Hello?” a man dressed in a white coat called out a few minutes after we arrived at the spot the nurse had pointed. “Please slow down, what are you here for?”“A little girl!” I responded quickly; my hands panicky as I handed over the card I received from the nurse in front. “Abrille Rodriguiez”“Yes!” I exclaimed,“Is she okay?! Please tell us she’s okay!” Rosey followed right after.“She will be!” The doctor assured, showing us to comfortable chairs to wait on. “Don’t panic! Just wait right here, and her doctor will come to explain her situation to you”His words seemed soothing, his white coat adding more to ease our hearts. At least at the moment.“I’m scared, mommy” Mil
