VALERIE'S POV "You want to bring fake kids to Hudson to claim they are his?! When we both know you will never be able to have kids?! Have some shame Valerie! God!" She continued yelling but those words right there had me pausing, my eyebrows knitting together in a frown as I replayed the words in my head.Unable to have kids? "Wait!" My voice rang out from the foyer, making the security men to halt in their movements. "What did you just say?"I asked, narrowing my eyes at her approaching form. The security men had let her go on my signal. When she got right in front of me I repeated the question, "What did you say to me?""Exactly what you heard."She replied with a sinister smile,"You're infertile, don't you know? Infertile women cannot have kids, so how can you even have three?! Haha!" She let out a loud laugh right after as though it was the funniest thing in the world.But I was even more confused, what was she even saying? I had several tests after my divorce to confirm my pregna
Charlotte's POV "Ma-madame...""Ma... Please Madame!""Please slow down Madame!" Maria cried out from behind me as I stormed my way through the already opened gates and into the wide yard, not listening to her words one bit.The new security must've seen me coming and made sure the gates were open, even before I reached them. Good thinking, cause I was in no mood to patiently wait for gates to be opened.In no time, I burst the front doors open, frightening the maids around the area, everyone scurrying away from sight but I didn't care one bit. Everything irritated me, they were all irritating me!Just standing there, looking at me with such deceptive eyes... Eyes that were secretly mocking me... Watching my every move so they could plot against me later on. I had no doubt they gossiped me on a regular, wishing me bad every single time... and waiting... Waiting for situations where they could laugh at me. Situations like the one I just witnessed with that green eyed bitch!If such a
HUDSON'S POV You know how people say, never say never? Damn, they were so right. Never, never! in my entire life did I imagine I would find myself begging a woman. Begging to just be friends, with a woman. Not like I had any business dealings or financial assistance to gain from her, no. I had absolutely nothing to gain from the friendship but yet there I was begging her repeatedly, sounding like a desperate fool. Like a broken record!After that phone call last night, i just sat there in a corner of my dark office, replaying everything in my head. Letting all the events that led up to that very moment replay in my head. And my, the silence that followed after her rejection was deafening.I couldn't believe it... and slowly I felt my spirit been dragged down to a bottomless pit of heartache and longing. I couldn't break free, it was like I was trapped there, left bare to feel every inch of the emotions that were tormenting. And then, later on I somehow ended up on my bed in the mas
HUDSON'S POV "Where is Aby?"They turned to face me at my question, each person looking to the other for an answer but no one giving me a response at the end.I just sighed, silently massaging my temples as I looked away from them. They obviously didn't know where she was at the moment, why couldn't someone just say so than all of them keeping mute and looking between themselves. It wasn't like I was going to bite anyone if they didn't know where the kid was, she was a child after all. Children don't stay put at a place, and if anything I wanted Aby to free herself more, you know...run around the house making noises or something... just free herself and behave like a normal child without worries. Because sometimes I couldn't help but think as small as she was, she already had worries in her heart. Worries she wouldn't talk to me about.That alone was an issue I needed to deal with. I was hoping she could talk to Charlotte about it since she was her mom and all, you know... mother,
Charlotte's POV "Madame, you're bleeding!" Maria cried out, pointing at my legs. Like a movie I slowly looked down at my feet and there it was... small droplets of crimson blood pooling at my feet, seemingly coming from underneath my white dress that was now all dusty due to the mess I had caused in the room.The residue dust had rested on my dress, giving it a slightly dark look but despite that, it couldn't hide the droplets of blood on the white tiled floor.Panicky, I lifted my knee length dress to check and truly my legs were indeed stained with a longline of blood coming from my inner thighs. And instantly, my heart rate quickened, as several thoughts... several possibilities even raced through my mind.I didn't want to believe it, I didn't want to even think about it...but a certain thought kept nagging at me from the back of my head. Pressing forward and pushing itself above every other thought the more I stared at the line of blood slowly adding to the mini pool at my feet.
HUDSON'S POV "Mr Rodriguez, your daughter has the EUI condition" the doctor seated across from me said, his voice calm, as though giving me time to process his words.I slightly wet my lips and sat up on my chair, leaning closer to his desk to understand him better. "EUI? I don't -i don't understand doctor, what do you mean?" I asked, "What I mean is, your daughter is suffering from the EUI, Emotional Urinary Incontinence." He repeated, "Or simply put, it's the reason she pees/urinates on herself. EUI is a condition that is characterized by involuntary urination triggered by emotional stress, anxiety, or psychological distress."Huh?"Wh-what are you saying doc?" I stuttered, the words refusing to sink into my head. "What are you...do you...do you mean my little girl is sick? Are you telling me she's sick? Something is going on inside of her? Well then, fix it! Do what needs to be done, I can pay don't worry about the bills! I can pay...Just... Please... please save my babygirl plea
HUDSON'S POV The minute the front doors opened and I stepped inside with Aby safely secured in my arms, the maids fluttered to the entrance, relief and worry etched in most of their features. "G-good morning Sir!" They greeted eagerly, a few bowing a bit."Good morning ma'am Aby!" I took a clean sweep of them, noting Charlotte's personal maids were not present before I finally nodded as a reply to their greetings. "Ma'am Aby?" A slightly chubby maid called out, she looked to be in her mid forties or so but yet held a warm aura around her.I quickly recognized her as the one in charge of Aby's meals and bath time, she literally did everything for her, everything her mother should be doing. "Are you okay, Aby? Hm?" She asked softly while itching closer, anyone could see how hard she was fighting back her tears as her lips trembled continuously."Are you feeling better now? I'm so sorry I left you alone Aby, I had to tend to the laundry. I-I shouldn't have left you... I shouldn't have..
Charlotte's POV "You want another child when the first one you had you don't even know the food she likes?! You don't know the color of dress she likes, you don't know how she's doing at school, you don't know who her friends are, you don't even know if she has friends! Fuck! You literally know nothing about her!! And you want more babies?! Are you crazy?! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" He boomed, his voice echoing loudly in the house.Instinctively, myself and the other maids flinched backwards. Each of them scurrying away to safety, leaving me all alone to bare the heat of his piercing glare. "I just told you that YOUR daughter, OUR child, was admitted to the hospital all night! Without her mother, and what you have to say to me is that you don't care? You! Her mother, don't care? That you - hold on, what did you say again? That you care more about a dead baby? No, a miscarriage! A barely two months miscarriage than your 5 year old child, that is alive and strong?! Is that what
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 cal
VALERIE’S POV“Please…”“I’m begging you, don’t push me down again. I will leave! I won’t come back here again,”“I promise you; I won’t come back here…just don’t hurt me anymore, please”“No,” “No! 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
HUDSON’S POV“What? The cops are here? What for?!”“Sir, they found Madame’s car at a hit and run scene last night” Paul explained, his words confusing me further. “What the hell are you talking about? 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. I was just about
CHARLOTTE’S POV“Kiddo, hold on!”“I will look into it okay? No need to disturb the boss”“But I saw it with my own eyes, Raymond! 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
VALERIE’S POV“G-get lost?”“H-how can you be so mean to me?!” she shrilled; her brown eyes red rimmed from shedding so much tears and more still continued to drip. 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
CHARLOTTE'S POVAs if my day couldn’t get any worse, she just had to show up! To pop up out of nowhere just when I was losing my shit over finding out that Hudson cheated on me. “You’re here to mock me, aren’t you? To gloat in my face just like all those other bitches, aren’t you?! Beat the dog while its down, eh?” I sneered, my eyes glaring daggers as I equally approached her incoming form.“Charlotte, are you well?” she asked instead, her overall expression nonchalant like she couldn’t be bothered by my approaching form. “What are you talking about?”“Admit it!” I spat angrily, my temper rolling as I moved even closer to her. “You’re here to laugh at me. You think I’m pathetic? You think I’m stupid, right?! So stupid that I couldn’t see Hudson was cheating me!” I sneered in her face, each word leaving a bitter taste in my mouth as it further confirmed that this was truly happening and to me, of all people!But sadly, my inner turmoil only brought joy to the face to the brown-haired
CHARLOTTE’S POVLucia was right. Hudson could decide not to come home but that doesn’t mean I can’t go to him here at the company. He may ignore me but he would most definitely not cause a scene at the office where public eyes could see. Hence, making Lucia’s plan to go to his office very efficient.How didn’t I think of this before?“Excuse me Ma’am, but who are you?” the security just outside the elevator on Hudson’s office floor asked, blocking my path. “What?”“Without a pass you can’t get through Ma’am” he said, looking unapologetic as he literally stopped me in front of the few staffs present. What sort of embarrassment is this?! “What the hell are you doing?” I spat in disgust as my eyes ran down his form, “Don’t you know who I am? What kind of sick joke is this?!”“No offense Ma’am but noise is restricted on this floor” he retorted, sparking my irritation as he communicated to God knows who on that communicating device seated on his waist. Soon after more security came rushing
