VALERIE'S POV

I wanted to say something, to react ... But I couldn't.

Everything kept replaying in my head, the pieces coming together all at once as her beady eyes scanned my appearance repeatedly, her expression filled with malice.

She was here in my home. Charlotte was right here in my home! Standing at my doorstep while her kid was inside?

So she was Aby's mother? first of all that meant they lived around the area. Hell, that they lived at house we had dropped Aby before! The house that was just a few blocks away from us!

That means...Hudson was living in that same house, in the same estate as me.

His entire family, was living on the same street as me and my kids! His daughter... Oh my God, his daughter... Aby was the daughter he talked about?She was the one he wanted me to meet?

And I had refused, not knowing... not knowing she was my kids classmates.

They even attended the same school! Oh my God, they had even become friends! My kids and ...his daughter... they had become frie

    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..

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

    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

    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.

    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
