Charlotte's POV

"This development is sure to encourage our children to find topics relating to their growth interesting, which will in turn bring out those in-built abilities they have in a more relaxed setting despite their young age. It will -

"$50 billion!" My voice rang out, saturating the room and pressing the necks of those pompous women i met earlier. "Erm, ma'am." The teacher that was just talking called out to me, her tone skeptical.

But it was to be expected, she was addressing everyone, explaining what development our children will enjoy as a result of the new music and arts building that will be set up.

This function was obviously headed for fund raising but they are trying to sugarcoat the parents into believing it was for the children. Children that were barely 6 to 7 year old, what do they know about music, dancing or arts?!

Fucking hypocrites!

"Ma'am I haven't finished explaining... Yet..." The teacher said, sharing the similar surprise look that I knew for sure was o

    Charlotte's POV "Well, well, well, if it isn't the heirloom snatcher!" I sneered loudly, causing her to pause in her tracks. She recognized my voice then, good!I thought I already had enough reason to celebrate today, unknown to me the heavens were hell bent on showering me so much love today. Meeting a defeated enemy was just the right amount of good news to add to my day. The perfect icing on the cake!'oh, Valerie, I haven't forgotten the stunt you pulled at that event. Not one bit of it!' I sang to myself, while scanning around for any department store with drinks. Maybe I would get my revenge today too.Disappointed I didn't see any, I turned my neck back in her direction, smirking as i saw her still rooted to the spot I left her in, less than 5 steps away from me. I waited for her to turn back seeing as she clearly heard me but then the opposite happened. Without so much as a glance at me, she started walking away!Totally ignoring me!"The nerves of this bitch!" I fumed and

    Charlotte's POV She was clearly insulting me. She just indirectly told me to leave heels to people like her! People like that actually wore it everyday to do something useful!She worked at a huge furnishings and decorating firm, so her choice of dressing always comprised of heels. Expensive looking heels at that!Wait, What am I even saying?She was the CEO of that firm! A fucking CEO!I already checked her out on the Internet after that night at the event. After the stunt she pulled that day, drowning me in wine and embarrassing me, the parking lot drama and above all, taking the heirloom that rightfully belonged to me! Not to mention all the other stuff she nodded higher than me just to embarrass me. I would be a fool not to try and find out stuffs about her.She really was born into money. This little bitch that literally crawled on the floors of the Rodriguez mansion, begging to be part of the family, begging for my Hudson to be with her and throw me out, was actually from one o

    VALERIE'S POV You know how people say their day just went from 100 to 0 in a minute? After encountering a particular situation? That was exactly how I felt right now, staring at the evil glint swimming in the eyes of this vile creature called Charlotte. A blonde deceiving fake ass! A snake, and two faced witch that paraded herself as a saint in front of the Rodriguez family. Specifically in front of Hudson, and his immediate family members (mom,dad, junior sister), oh & let's not forget, Aunt Claire too. She truly was something else, and honestly, I've always known. I've always known! That's why I was unable to get along with her back then, not even for a day. I mean, aside from the fact she regularly overturned even the most unlikely situations to be in her favor, what woman for heavens sake would want to befriends their husband's mistress! Right in her own house! Friendship with Charlotte was simply absurd and I could never reduce myself to that. But I was patient r

    VALERIE'S POV "Miles, stop running your toy car on the stairs railings!" Nanny Beth called out for at least the third time just this evening. A chuckle left my lips at the distress in her voice, I could hear her footsteps pounding on the stairs as she hurried up seemingly at a giggling Miles who ran off, his light footsteps filling the air as he dashed past my room door for safety.My door stood ajar so I could see everything from the spot where I was relaxing on my bed. "Where is he? That little...tiny... tsk, I knew those toys were trouble the minute I saw them!" Nanny Beth grumbled under her breath as she walked past my door as well, directly headed for the double door of the kids a few steps away.I made sure to keep quiet while she passed otherwise her fury would be turned in my direction. I was the one that approved and paid for those toys after all. And I'm telling you now, they were a lot. Like, a LOT.After the... Well you know,... 'My dramatic display' at the mall in front

    Charlotte's POV "I am so upset!" I yelled out and threw my handbag roughly against the tiled floors of the living room the minute I walked in, causing the maids to flinch back. They had already assembled to cater to me the minute they heard the car pull in the driveway, but I didn't even pay them any mind. I mean, how could I? When I fuming and feeling hot all over because of that damned bastard! I couldn't believe he spoke to me that way. That was a lowlife with no self restraint, going about mentally abusing people. Can you believe that? He said all sorts of vile things to my face and even had the guts to call security to drag me out! Like I was some irrelevant used sheet of toilet paper that needed to be disposed! Just who does he think he was, huh?! Hudson, my husband to be owns a 50% ownership on that shopping mall! How dare they just kick me out! How dare they insult me like that?! The more I thought about it the more angry I became, even worse compared to how I

    VALERIE'S POV "Good morning ma'am!" A cherry voice called out as I stepped out of the elevator and into the wide corridor that held my office. A series of other voices offering excited greetings filled the air as the first person and I just waved them all, giving a general response to their greetings as i neared the door of my office.It's been at least 3 to 4 days after that incident at the shopping mall. An incident that marked the beginning of a new discovery about myself and I was ready to work on it so it could stop once and for all.Heavens forbid I had another episode while Charlotte was there again, ugh! No way I will give her that satisfaction to tremble on me like she did before.And so therefore, I had been ignoring anything and everything relating or connecting to her, which heavily included Hudson's messages.The man was just as persistent as ever. Not giving up once! Despite me not replying to any of his text he kept sending them. Every morning, afternoon and evening, h

It seems you really like this one, maybe I should send some more everyday"Everyday?! My eyes bugged as that message popped up like the others."Everyday?! You ignorant big headed..." I cussed under my breath as I grabbed my phone to reply to that particular text.But then again I stopped at the last minute, remembering my initial resolve to not acknowledge him. "Let it be Valerie, he's just trying to get a rise out of you." I reminded myself as I set the phone down, preparing to focus back on the documents on my desk.But then another text came in and this time I could literally hear his cocky voice in my head as I read the message; "I know you're reading my texts Val. You're seeing them and intentionally ignoring me, I think it's high time we talk. Don't you agree?"I bit the inside of my cheek as the memory from earlier today flashed before my e

    VALERIE'S POV "So what are you going to do about him?" Papa finally asked, staring at me intensely. I let out a deep sigh at how fast his jovial expression changed, "Pa..." We were just having a relaxed conversation about his new hobbies and plans for tomorrow, why did he have to ruin it?My nonchalance to avoid the topic in general was not missed by his piercing eyes, as he turned fully on his seat to face me. There was no escaping the interrogations now...I could tell this very question had been itching to come out of his lips ever since we left the project site for Sky Walls. He really was standing on his words from earlier, that Hudson was in love with me.Isn't that just ridiculous?I admit, the man had been acting strange for the past few months but acting strange doesn't equate to... to... been in love, and with me of all people!Where is the logic in that?What about Charlotte? I mean HIS Charlotte, What about his kid?! Their kid Valerie, their kid! They had a kid together,

    HUDSON’S POV“Do you understand now?”“First, the man you wanted left you, Amelia left you, Ethan also did, and now… your own father has abandoned you.” her voice sounded softly, almost considerate but the underlying cruelty was hard to miss. A total contrast to the nonchalant expression on her face, like even speaking to the woman on phone was not worth wasting her energy.It was enchanting, to say the very least.“No one wants you; no one wants to be with you.” She whispered slowly, “You will die alone, Charlotte. A long, lonely death. Remember that,”And just like that, the call ended. The phone sliding from her ears, every movement smooth like she had finished the deal right then and there, which she had though. The bait had been set.The bait we both agreed upon after Ethan showed up at our doorstep, with information about Charlotte. A very daring attitude from a person with his record of betrayal. Ever since he attempted to kidnap Valerie back then, he had gone off record. Which

    CHARLOTTE'S POV“Oh yeah?” she sneered, sounding totally unbothered as I continued to brew with anger. “What will you do to Drake then? You see he made a deal with me; to hand over all his dealings with my family, testify against you in court, revealing all the many corpses that was buried underneath the garden in his house for you.”What?“What are you talking about you bitch, I killed no one!” I responded, my breathing shaky as memories of how so many dead bodies were used as fertilizer for the rose garden back home. Dead bodies that were as a result of several tortures and beatings given to men doing business with the heartless man that was my father!It was all him!How come this bitch was saying something else here? How did she even know about the bodies?!“Those corpses are as a result of the many murders that you have done over the years, Charlotte!”“That’s not true!” I argued angrily, losing my cool.“But Drake said it is, and he is testifying against you in court!” she insis

    CHARLOTTE’S POV“What the hell are they doing?”“Why are they even together at the hospital? Just what the fuck is this?!” my voice resounded everywhere, bouncing off the walls in the apartment I currently occupied with Raymond.But could you blame me? I was pissed off!Pissed off by the stupid ass video that was been displayed on the tv screen! A video of what supposedly had happened between my man and that bitch Valerie today! Or was this some sort of trick? That bitch Valerie was pulling a stunt again?But even if she did, how did Hudson come onboard with this?! To do this with her! Act like they were all perfect and okay, when I knew they were not! They most definitely were not! They shouldn’t even be!Valerie’s schemes have been exposed! Hudson knows all about this now, I was sure of it! I watched him drive off angrily that night, away from their new place. He didn’t go home that day I sent those cameras, they had a fight. I was sure of it!So why instead of packing his things an

    HUDSON’S POVSilence settled between Val and I as we walked all the way to the ward. Our fingers still interlocked, until finally we reached the very door that held Miley’s excited laughs behind it. And then I stopped, facing Valerie right then.“What money?” I asked, but she simply blinked. Probably not expecting my question, but I heard the conversations between her and her aunties anyways. Or at least part of it, since they were already speaking before I arrived there. So…“The money your aunt was referring to” I explained, my voice calm as I waited. “She said something about a stolen money that was in Mason’s name, and you were going to be arrested for it if they called the cops. What was that all about?”“Oh,” was all she said, a deep sigh following right after. “It’s… it’s a bit personal,”Huh?“Personal?” I repeated, not believing she was about to do what I thought she would do. “How personal is this that I can’t even know about it? Mason is involved here, that’s my son, Valeri

    HUDSON’S POVComing back home was nothing short of what I had expected. My kids gathered were together, happily playing games, absolutely oblivious of the current happenings surrounding me and their mom. As far as they were concerned; daddy had to take a little trip to check out a building site.A strategy Nanny Beth took to save them from the hassle of wondering why I wasn’t home for 2 days. But aside my kids, everything else seemed fine. The maids, Nanny (Whether or not she knew, she didn’t behave like it at all. But assuming she didn’t know anything will be highly stupid on my part cause Valerie tells her almost everything despite their huge age difference!) but above all, there was no Valerie.I wouldn’t lie to you, a part of me immediately thought of going back to the house outside the city, to check if she had still gone back there. But I just held back. Forcing myself to focus on taking a nice shower, eat a really satisfying meal and then catch up with my kids.The last time I

    VALERIE’S POV“I-I’m truly sorry,”“I am- am so sorry for lying about that day,” I apologized, my voice breaking as I tried to keep my tears at bay. “I shouldn’t have lied! I should’ve… I didn’t know you and the kids were at the office, I didn’t know you guys wanted to surprise me so we could have lunch together. It’s all my fault! I’m sorry…”“Of course you are. You are sorry now, Valerie.” His voice sounded in the air, bitter but yet so calm. Unlike his explosive self that I had seen that day in the secret room. “But you weren’t sorry when you just lied to both me and the kids that day, running off to go clear evidences of your actions for fear that someone would get to it first before you do. Maybe someone already got to them-Charlotte had! She did send a few cameras after all; I’m guessing that is what got you agitated and also what had been bothering you days before the kids and I even went to your office!”“No! That’s not it at all,” I rushed to explain, “I wasn’t bothered about

    CHARLOTTE’S POV“What? What did you say?”“They are still under the same roof? My Huddie is still living in that house? With her? with bitch Valerie?!"He simply nodded in confirmation, amplifying the horror I just heard. “How?!” I blasted, loosing my shit right then and there. “How is any of that even possible?! He should’ve left her by now! They should be fighting and him not forgiving what she has done! How can they still be together? That’s impossible!”“It is possible!” Raymond insisted, his tone similar to mine. “I saw him myself! I saw Hudson drive into that mini city of his- the Sky Walls! I saw him, and even waited for over an hour to see if he would come back out, but he didn’t! The man simply went home to his woman and kids, get over him kiddo. We need to leave the country before things get out of hand!”“No,” I responded, not wanting to believe a word he said.“Kiddo, You-“No! I said no!” I boomed, smashing the glass of water I was supposed to take my meds with. “I’m not

    VALERIE’S POV“He just suffered from a mini panic attack, ma’am”“Given his age, attacks like this could often lead to stroke, full blown heart attacks, or even death on the spot!” The doctors voice resounded in my ears, sending yet another terrible ache throughout my temples. It has been this way since we took Papa to the hospital. And by we, I meant myself and Babara.Patricia came along too but quickly left after hearing he was still breathing and alive. Davis didn’t even come at all. Displaying their exact feelings towards their own father. Making me wonder even more that; what would have happened if I had already driven out of the estate before he collapsed today? What would have become of my Papa? Would he have- would he have really died? Just like that? Because his own children were too busy fussing over him instead of hurrying to get him to the hospital immediately?!“We have managed to stabilize his blood pressure for a bit, but I would advise no more shocking news to be brou

    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 ha
