HUDSON’S POV

“Huddie? Your phone…” I blinked as I noticed her pointing beside me, “Your phone has been vibrating,” she explained and I quickly got my shit together and took hold of the object from the glass frame housing my watch collection.

Swiping the screen open I saw that I have had multiple calls and texts from one person-Grandpa. The last one read; “When are you free, young man?! You either come to me or I come to you!”

Ugh, what was the need for such threats? It wasn’t like I had been free all these while and refused to go see him. I had been very busy lately… busy drowning myself in more workload than I could possibly take just to erase that memory. The memory of what I did that evening.

I should have just waited in the audience like everyone else did. What was the need to ask around for her and ended up in that private backstage that then led to the temptation of kissing her?!

Jesus! That was uncalled for! And most definitely not the plan I had in mind when I decided to go th

    HUDSON’S POV“I love the spirit! You must feel confident in her services, don’t you Rodriguez?” I took a deep breath, nodding as I opened my mouth to speak for the first time since Val came to the table. "Yes, I feel very confident. She has been doing excellently so far and I have no doubt she would exceed my expectations by the time everything is finalized.” I said, my tone formal, not betraying the agitation i felt on the inside.My words earned corresponding grunts of praise from the men and that was when I noticed it. She finally looked at me. She finally saw me for the first time since spending almost 20 minutes at the drink stand and the thought alone had my heart racing all over again.And just like that, she looked away. "It was nice meeting you, gentlemen but you will have to excuse me" she said, smiling warmly at the table before leaving.I literally let out a breath of relief after she left, my heart rate slowly reducing to the normal as I took a glass to help calm my nerv

    VALERIE’S POV“So, that man has agreed to go 50/50?”“Yes boss! I’m sure of it.” Another voice responded; his tone submissive like that of an underling.“Hmm, that is strange. Why the sudden change of heart? He has been hell bent on 60/40 from the start, what changed?” the previous voice asked. “Maybe he just wants to hasten things up, I heard his son is taking charge of their side from now on. That means he will be working directly with us”“Hmm, I don’t like new faces, Julio” the voice seemingly belonging to the boss grumbled and before the conversation could continue, I cut it off. Myself and Rob sighing deeply as we dressed back on our seats. “This is huge, ma’am. From the records, we can clearly see whatever business deal they are on about isn’t genuine, especially as they are trying to speed things up!” Rob said, taking the words right out of my mouth. I just nodded in agreement as he continued giving his analysis.“But the man in question runs a wide range of illegal activiti

    CHARLOTTE’S POV“Now lift your legs, turn and put it back down, slowlllyyy” Mr. Modrich, the instructor said as he walked round, assessing everyone.“Good, good! Perfect job, Mrs. Charlotte!” he praised, his voice ringing loudly in the quiet space as the music came to a halt. And soon after women chatters filled the air. “Honestly though, you look beautiful when you dance." he added, coming to the front where I stood. "Like I can see that zeal, that power and confidence…ah! it just radiates from you, Mrs. Charlotte. You should consider performing at the club!” I smiled bashfully at his praise.“Oh c’mon, I know I’m good but what is the club?” I asked and Lucia appeared in front to explain. “The club is where fellow tango lovers gather to enjoy the presence of excellent performers such as your selves!” she said with a smile as she scanned everyone present.“Oh my, I just looked it up!” A lady’s voice ran out, turning everyone’s attention to her. “The women dresses are so pretty!

    HUDSON’S POV“I will pick a place for us to meet, come see me on Charlotte’s birthday” were the words that replayed in my head as I stared at the door swipe in my hands. The address attached to it was familiar. I knew the place; it was the same place where she agreed to meet Grandpa for the first time.The place I first saw her vulnerable as she cried with Grandpa. The memory was still fresh actually, every memory I had of her was fresh. Addictive even, leaving me wanting more and more anytime I met her. “Boss, we are here” James’s voice called out from the front, snapping me out of my thoughts as I looked around in surprise.We were clearly at the VIP parking lot of the company and I didn’t even realize it. But nevertheless, I swiftly tucked the card in my breast pocket, just like how I had been doing this past week after meeting Val at the Socialist’s Gathering. “Everything alright, boss?” James asked, staring at me through the rear-view mirror. I just nodded before getting down and

Like where one places or imagines so much from a particular situation or something… an overly expectant person… Even the words don’t sound right. Anyone could clearly see nothing good ever comes out of being overly expectant over something or someone… so, how is it that Charlotte couldn’t see it too?There she sat, in all her regal… seated like some important figure of the society, glamoured in her perfectly sown white flowing dress that just screamed center of attention in the practice room. Eagerly waiting and anticipating the doors of the mini hall to open up, presenting the persons she had plans with.It was her birthday today. Her 30th birthday but popularly known as her 28th birthday to those who knew her but that wasn’t what made this day special.

    CHARLOTTE'S POV I smiled in joy as the elevator finally opened to the designated floor Hudson chose-The pent suite. It was the highest point in the hotel. The Kings hotel had always been known for their exquisite taste and excellence but this! This room right here was just marvelous! I mean, the elevator just opened up to the room itself!Fabulous, right?My lips parted in awe as I stepped into the space, noting all the luxury furnishings and décor. And as much as I wanted to admire each piece, I still had a man to attend to tonight! So, with a suppressed squeal I headed to the living room. My eyes scanning the space and not seeing any particular fancy stuff or decoration like I had imagined but still, I held on.Not wanting to jump to conclusions. My Huddie was nothing like Maria and the rest. Of course he wouldn’t pick up their ideas. So, I moved around for a bit to search for him. “Huddie? Baby?”Maybe he was hiding to pop up when I least expected it? Like the way the lady I spoke

    VALERIE’S POV“I have no one else but you, Lucia! But it’s okay, you don’t have to come right now.” She said to her, sniffling back her tears gradually. “Come see me tomorrow, okay?”“Okay bestie, I will. And I will help you start a big business and teach everyone a lesson!” Charlotte chuckled a bit at her words, her cries finally reducing to a minimum. “Yes, lets do that! I will be the president and you the vice president” Charlotte said enthusiastically, making Lucia smile“Agreed bestie. I’m on your side” Lucia assured her calmly as Charlotte sniffed some more. “Don’t ever betray me, okay? You will always be on my side, right Lucia?”“Always Char. I’m forever on your side” Lucia assured her, making me smile lightly as I sat on the couch. “Don’t cry anymore, we will figure it out tomorrow, okay? Go to bed now.” And a moment later the call ended and silence reigned in the room.I sighed deeply, sipping the content of my glass slowly. Letting the warm liquid travel down my throat as sa

    HUDSON’S POVIn life there are risks…but to truly live, one must dare to risk it all. Those were Val’s words during that poker game at Grandma’s memorial. Words that I never truly understood up until this moment. This very moment where I laid side by side to the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.How could someone look so beautiful? So peaceful and full of life while they were fast asleep?‘Is this even real? Or am I dreaming again?’ I had asked myself over and over ever since I woke up by 6am this morning. But the now reddish spot on my arm and the subtle movement of her boobs that currently spilled out from under the bedcover loosely wrapped around her said otherwise. This was real. Meaning everything last night happened.It wasn’t a figment of my imagination like all the other times I had thought about her. This one really happened and every single moment had been engraved into my brain. I don’t think I will ever forget this moment or any of the things we did last night.It was

Who would’ve thought?! Charlotte most definitely did not see this coming.

    THIRD PERSON POV“Woah, isn’t that Miss Hernandez of De Hernandez Dreamz? She’s a parent too?”“She really is something! Check out those thighs…hm, so yummy!” another man close to where Hudson stood complimented, his eyes viciously taking in the features of the still smiling woman from afar. “I wonder how she does it, CEO and then a parent! Amazing.”The entire atmosphere buzzed with chatters mostly centered around the new addition in their midst. But not everyone could partake of these thought-provoking conversations. As to some persons like Hudson Rodriguiez, who had arrived a while ago. He couldn’t stop thanking the heavens internally for making him attend this function, to be able to stay this long that he was granted the opportunity to see the very woman that had set his heart on fire.Only the heavens knew just how worried sick and lonely he has been the past few days that he didn’t hear from her. His world had felt so dull and colorless these past few days, that the only thing

    THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEWWhat was that people often say about karma? That it is a bitch, right? Well, they were so right I tell you!I mean, who could’ve thought a mistress that replaced the main wife of a wealthy man, would turn out to also get so agitated by even the slightest chance her said trophy man would have another woman in his life? Another mistress I mean.Haha! It looks like no one likes the idea of her man having a mistress, especially Charlotte in this regard. One would think since she took the same route to barging her way into the life of a newlywedded couple, causing several conflicts and misunderstandings that ultimately led to a divorce, that she would be more understanding if some other woman was to show up in her man’s life using the same tactics.But no, she has proven to be of quite the high morals at the moment. A true believer that a man should absolutely have no one else in his life except his partner! Alas, been in the position of a current main wife has t

    VALERIE’S POVIt was relaxing to hear and I hoped he stayed true to his words until the end. In no time, he disconnected from the call, leaving Rob and I. And looking at his relaxed form, all cladded in casuals as it way past work hours. I couldn’t help but remember how he comforted me that night at his place. How he refused to let me know about it the next morning, probably because he didn’t want me to worry over it.He was so good to me… so good that I wished I had more of him in my family than those ruthless people I called family members. How good that would have been… “How are you? Have you had dinner?” he asked, staring at me like he didn’t deliver me a truck load of food earlier today when I didn’t even ask for it.I was about to give him a sassy comment, when I noticed something on one of the screens and almost immediately, my phone vibrated with a call I couldn’t take. “Everything okay?” Rob asked, reminding me we were still on call. But I just waved him off and ended the call

Don’t push me down again,” “Please don’t!”“Don’t!!”“Val! Calm down,” “It’s me. It’s Rob… you’re okay now”“Val?”“Valerie!!”And just like that, my eyes snapped open. A loud gasp emitting from my lips as I roughly hit down a glass of water from the table, I had apparently fell asleep on. Frantic, I looked around the environment and sure enough everything pointed to one thing; that I was currently in the underground in the house outside the city and breath of relief left my nostrils.Although, my heart was still pounding loudly in my chest, my forehead wet from sleep sweat. Other than that, everything was the same.“Ugh, goodness me…” I grumbled as everything came flooding back in my mind.I had apparently taken a time off from the world to meditate here in my game room. it was a ploy

How can Charlotte be involved in a hit and run incident?!” I asked, with furrowed eyebrows as the words refused to settle in my brain.What the hell was this new problem now?! I already had too much to worry about, I don’t need her adding to it. I haven’t even been able to come to a conclusion on how to handle her recent behaviors and now she went right ahead to get involved in a hit and run?! Just what is going on with that woman?!“The issue is all over the news, Sir” Paul added, turning on the TV and there it was on the screen with the craziest headline. ‘Popular Real Estate guru Hudson Rodriguiez’s supposed wife was rumored to have been involved in a hit and run scene that looked like it came straight out of a movie!’“What th-“It’s not looking good Sir, but our team are on it to b

    CHARLOTTE'S POVEven Raymond had been unable to give me any information, saying he was still working on it! “So much for trusting him to help me out” I grumbled darkly as I rigorously washed my hands in the bathroom sink. I have actually been here for quite some time. It was high time I go back into the bedroom. Maybe even have a third round with Ethan so I could kill this anxiety brewing inside of me.We had met up earlier today as I needed a real good fuck to clear my head. Otherwise, I might just end up going crazy inside that mansion! Hudson didn’t even take his mom’s calls so I had no way of pacifying my annoyance. My only option being Ethan’s dick.Of course, I would love for him to be Hudson right now but I had to make do with what I had presently. The next time I would meet Hudson, heaven knows I will have him tied up so I can have my way with him!“Let’s see how he would avoid me then!” I said out loud and finally turned off the sink so I could dry my hands.

There was eyeshadow stain on his suit!” I insisted, my voice rising from both anger and frustration as I tried to move past him so I could go into the living room. “That eyeshadow didn’t get there on its own, some woman was busy rubbing herself on him! He is seeing another woman under my nose! We need to find her!”“Kiddo! Wait!” he yelled, hurriedly running after me after I had pushed my way through. “Yes, we need to find her and we will! But the boss is meeting with an important guest right now, you can’t go there”“What? Even you too?!” I shot at him, my fury rising at his words as I paused to glare at his aged face. “My father is meeting with important guest, and so what?! Am I not important? Is my matter not more important?! His soon to be son- in law is now seeing another woman, shouldn’t that be a problem for him?!” I yelled, my voice rising and ech

Her mascara was far gone as it had already formed a long streak down her both cheeks since I stepped into the office. I already knew she was crying.She had most definitely seen the makeup stain on his suit, just like I had planned and now nothing will hold back her doubts and fears. I knew she wouldn’t accept that Hudson was cheating on her so easily if she hadn’t seen it with her two eyes. He was after all loyal to her all these years, not once having a scandal or looking at other women. A man with such devotion, what woman would believe he was cheating without concrete proof? No one!And as such, I had to create one for her.I couldn’t show myself just yet so telling her about it was out of the question. Hence, my reason for intentionally applying a bit of my makeup on his suit earlier this morning before we came to his
