Valerie’s povWhat happened?Why did he suddenly collapse?? The questions were just falling one after the other from my lips as I hurried up the stairs with my silver high heels, Nanny Beth behind me. My thoughts were all over the place, all I could think about hurrying on those stairs was how I had ignored his calls. How I never reached out to him since I returned to the city.He had been calling repeatedly, both at the office and at home but I let it all go to voicemail. I was busy ignoring him, when he could have been in danger. When he could have needed me. Simply because I didn’t want him to nag at me to stay with him, I couldn’t bear to live in the same house as those people that called themselves my family. So I busied his calls and postponed going to see him, I shouldn’t have done that. That was selfish and unreasonable.“What if something happened back at home? Did you hear anything Nanny?” I asked, pausing on the steps to face her, my voice soft as though saying the word
VALERIE'S POVThe minute my brain processed who exactly the figure was, I half ran into the room and shut the door tight, my back against the door. My heart was racing rapidly, my chest heaving up and down as I took in the happy faces of my kids in front of me, “Ohhh, God. What is this? What is he doing here?”Mason turned to look at me, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion. The little boy was probably wondering why his mom was standing at the door smiling sheepishly at him. But the fact was, the hospital doors were transparent and there was no telling that Hudson wouldn’t stand in front of it! And if he did stand in front of it, he would most definitely see us!The last thing I wanted right now was my kids seeing a total look alike of Mason! Especially after the misunderstanding this morning. If that were to happen, “Oh no, I can’t… I don’t want to even imagine,”My hands went to the top of my chest in an attempt to calm down my ragged breathing. And after a minute or so, I swallowed
VALERIE'S POV What is he staring at? I turned my neck to check behind me, but before I could let a word out,a strong pull on my arm tugged me forward and in seconds i was running. But not before I got a whiff of a certain blonde hair.Quickly, I struggled to pull away, "Hey, let me go!" I exclaimed, but his grip only got tighter and he pulled me even closer.But that didn't stop me, "Let me go, you big headed dick head!" his hand clapsed my mouth shut at those words, silencing my screams as he pulled me into a narrow hallway, out of people's sight.He only stopped when we reached an unlocked room and I pushed him away instantly, gasping for breath while he rushed to lock the door behind us.My eyes frantically looked around, noting we we're in some sort of storage room for drugs and papers before I turned to face him, "What is the meaning of this, Mr Rodriguez? If your posture has gotten so bad and you're in need for some exercising, don't you know the way to the gym?" I spat heatedl
VALERIE'S POV After half running through the hallway, passing quite a number of doors I finally reached the opening that led to the ground floor. Relief coursed through my veins at the sight of people going about their different affairs absentmindedly, with no knowledge of what had transpired between me and Hudson few minutes ago. I turned back a bit to gauge where I was coming from and to say I was surprised would be an understatement."I can't believe I let that dick head drag me all the way down there," the storage room I had just left him in was at the end of the long hallway. Possibly even the last room!I shook my head a bit at the absurdity of the whole situation. It was unbelievable. A bunch of nurses gave me weird looks when they saw the angle I was coming out from.I just gave them a tight smile and hurried off to the entrance. It didn't take long I found two dirty blonde heads chasing balloons in the parking lot and I hurried to them.They were the first to see me while
HUDSON'S POV "Why is it taking so much time? does that doctor know what he's doing at all?" Mom bellowed, pacing back and forth in the hallway. We we're currently seated at the VIP ward, just outside Charlotte's private room waiting for news from the doctor.Admittedly, it's been quite sometime since the doctor went in to check on her and yet there was still no news from the nurses, and neither was the doctor coming out.But Mom's continuous tantrums was not helping matters at all. She had called for the nurses attention thrice already. "Okay that's it! That doctor must be a quack! How can they let someone like this become a doctor in a prestigious hospital such as this?! I'm reporting him right now. No! I'm no longer going to let him touch even a hair on her body!" She yelled and rushed to push the room door but I already had enough."Can you stop it?! Just stop it! What is wrong with you?!" she flinched at the tone of my voice, pausing in her tracks."I get it, you're worried abou
Chapter 33HUDSON'S POV Has there ever been a time when you see yourself doing a particular thing that you know you shouldn't do but you can't stop anyway?Because that was how I felt right now, holding unto Valerie's hand and running through a dimly lit hallway right here in the hospital.I knew something was up with me the minute I saw her in my sleep but what i never imagined was locking herself and I in a storage room!"What the is wrong with you,Mr Rodriguez? If you have bad posture, don't you know the way to the gym?!" She spat angrily at me.I took a glance at her and immediately turned away, partly because I was embarrassed by the kind of thoughts that were creeping to my mind the longer I stared at her.It was bad enough I shamelessly dragged her here just because I saw Charlotte in the crowd, but i wasn't going to loose my sense of proportion while I was at it.I honestly couldn't explain why I ran though, it didn't make sense. I wasn't doing anything wrong by talking to Va
HUDSON'S POV Mommy? What does that even mean?! How could she be married when her file clearly stated she wasn't, or was I mistaken? Without wasting time, I pulled out my phone from my pocket, checking past messages from James. Luckily, I wasn't one to delete receipts and soon I found the file he sent me that day containing all Val's info. I quickly zoomed in and read it out loud, "Name: Valerie Ann Marie Hernandez. Age: 26 Guardian: Henry Hernandez Marital Status: Single " See, single! Absolutely single! Which meant she wasn't married. So how could a child be calling her mommy then? Did she... did she mess around after our divorce and then got herself knocked up by a ... "Oh c'mon, that's not even possible! Even if she was a wildcat, she's from a respectable family after all. She couldn't have done that." I chuckled sheepishly at the thought but suddenly paused, all smiles disappearing from my face as a thought crept into my mind, "Or could she?" She dared to seduce
HUDSON'S POV "Erm, Boss?" James asked, his hoarse voice thick with trepidation."Yes James? Did you not get what I just said?" I snapped back."H-Huh? I-I ... " he stuttered and my nose scrunched up in distaste at his behavior. "I said get me every single detail about Valerie and the man she's seeing! What do you not understand?" I demanded, my voice rising with annoyance."I got what you said boss." He rushed to explain, "But... Miss Valerie's file is locked. Most details are confidential, I only managed to get what I could that day and everything is in stored in the file I sent you previously,"I remained silent, my lips pursed in silent anger. "So you're telling me you can't do your job?" I said calmly, my voice dangerously low. "Not at all, Boss! I will -But I cut him off, leaning forward, my elbows on my black oak desk, the phone close to my lips. "I don't care about locked files and confidentiality. What I know is you're going to bring me every detail that I want to know.
CHAPTER 231VALERIE’S POV“What happened?!” I whisper yelled as soon I flung the door open. My eyes frantic as I scanned the room for the one person I was looking for. And the moment I spotted his tangled-up self in the sheets, my feet moved on their own accord, next thing I knew I was all over him. My heart beat suspended in panic as I rushed to help him out.“Oh, my goodness, what happened here?!” he winced from pain as I pulled on a side of the sheets. “Oh my, sorry! Sorry…does it hurt? Does it?” he nodded gently to my question. His expression pitiful as slowly, I untangled with from the sheets that had wrapped him up like a sausage roll!“Hold on, let me see” I cooed softly, helping him relax as I gently checked his bandages. Everything looked good. There were no blood stains or any signs of an added injury, so we were all good. But only after I had calmed down did, I realize just how quickly our sleeping arrangements had changed.Nanny Beth’s orders were strict; no sharing of bed
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.
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
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“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
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!
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
