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

    VALERIE'S POV "How are you enjoying your roses pretty lady? They are beautiful, right?""I noticed you didn't trash them like the others. 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 *Knock on the door* "Boss?"My eyes whipped to the door instantly as his head popped in, "James," I said breathlessly, sitting up on my leather seat. Understanding the situation, James walked right in, shutting the door of my office quietly.We were currently home after a long day of preparation to get Val to see me. She no longer visited the Red Bites Restaurant, at least she hadn't gone there for a week now. I had planned to ask her about that, the day we met to go over some final touches for the project but I totally forgot about it in the spur of the moment. Mind you it wasn't my fault at all, she just looked so good that day. So good, that I could hardly focus on the words that left her lips. All I could think about was having her sit on my lap, pressing those soft round molds that was protruding behind her black body con skirt on my thighs. I wanted to sneak my fingers through the slit in front of that damned tight skirt of hers, to feel the smoothness of her thig

    HUDSON'S POV I was literally bubbling with excitement at the prospect that she would be doing the calling, unlike how i had been calling her all these while. But at the same time, I couldn't help but be filled with dread at what she had to say to me. Such an exciting moment was ruined by just one text.I wished I hadn't seen that text. "I think it's about time she called, it's 11:31 PM." James mumbled, but even his voice sounded faint, all my attention was fixed on the shiny object that could transmit a call.I had gotten a new phone, a separate phone, just for her. I had been dropping texts and calls repeatedly to her, I couldn't risk Charlotte seeing those texts. I know it sounds bad, I know it's wrong. It was almost like I was cheating on Charlotte but I wasn't entirely doing anything wrong. I just wanted to talk to Val, it was not like I was acting on any of the thoughts that were regularly clouding my senses concerning her.I still had control over the situation, I could pull ou

    Charlotte's POV "Madame, the-the line is still faint..." Kate stuttered with my test strips in hand while she held my gaze through the mirror."What did you say?" I asked sharply, slamming my hair brush on the dressing table. I was so prepared to pounce on her at those but as I turned from the mirror, a sharp pain shot through my abdomen instantly. Turning me into a moaning mess in seconds and I struggled to catch my breath while clenching my white flare dress in pain."M-ma-madame!" Kate cried out, and rushed to help me but I quickly pushed her away, managing to glare at her through the wave of pain that was going through my system. Trembling, she fell to her knees, letting out silent cries as she held the test strips. How dare she cry when I hadn't even cried! She was the reason this pain started anyway!Her earlier shrill must have resounded outside the room cause in no time Maria came bursting in through the door, her small eyes shining eagerly to understand the situation.

    VALERIE’S POV“Mommy, are you ready yet?”“No, sweetie. But I’m almost done!” I responded, trying another set of earrings.“Ohhm” he groaned softly at my response, making me smile because I knew he was doing the whiny dance again, where he stomps his foot around in circles as he complained. It was supposed to be some sort of protest, but I just couldn’t help the chuckles that leaves my lips anytime he did it.Frankly speaking, I was surprised he still came to ask, cause he has at least done this 5 times already under the span of 30 minutes. And all the times, I gave the same response to his overly excited self.“Why are you taking so much time, Mommy? Grandpa’s waiting for us,” Miles asked, moving to check out my face from the vanity mirror I currently sat in front of. “Are you done now, Mommy?”Argh…“Yes Miles! Yes, mommy is ready now” I responded to him, ruffling his hair for a bit. Excited cheers filled the air as he ran out of the room. To tell the others, I’m sure.As you know,

And that alone, annoyed the shit out of me!With a death glare I turned to her, “Go and try to contact those greedy bastards, again! They still have my videos and I want it!”How dare those criminals?!First, they contact me and tell me they have the videos ready, even requesting for a ridiculous sum as payment! An amount I couldn’t even afford at the moment, all because Hudson had my cards connected to his accounts frozen!Then, when I finally came up with a tangible sum to at least get one video, those bloody twats decided to go mute on me! To ghost me! Like what the actual fuck?!“You make sure you keep calling, text them! I need that video now!” I whisper yelled at her, my eyes housing my

He’s so stingy…” Grandpa complained, narrowing his eyes at me as Val chuckled before guiding him to a seat.“We are back now though, so you can come visit the kids whenever you want! I’m sure they will love that” Val comforted, taking a seat beside him. And almost automatically, my smiles fell. “You’re sitting there?” I questioned, gesturing to her.“Why?! You’re so far from me! Come over here”Almost immediately, Grandpa grabbed her hands stubbornly. “Huh? Why does she have to do that?! You’re not a child and you most definitely don’t need her to care for you right now!”“Well, I do!” I retorted seriously, not liking how he was arguing about my woman with me. She was my woman and not his!“I do need her to take care of me! I’m hurt! Only her can help”“Huh? You? Hurt? From what?! Falling off your ego, now?!” Grandpa taunted, his voice loud

I just knew it!Now, here I was getting all worked up from seeing her again. Fucking crazy woman!She still didn’t give a shit about her child! Everything else was important to her, everything else held value in her eyes except her daughter! Her very own flesh and blood! If I hadn’t watched over her all through her pregnancy and even the delivery, I would honestly be doubting f Abrille truly was hers!Because how do you explain this? How?!Even postpartum depression wouldn’t make someone this selfish! How could my own… how could such a little girl be tied to this self-absorbed person?!It broke my heart the more I thought about it. Just how much my little girl had to suffer because her mom was like this.But I won’t let this continue. I won’t allow her life to be destroyed simply because of this! I will make s

    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

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.

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
