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
Charlotte's POV My whole body trembled as my brain made more and more analysis, terrifying analysis that scared the shit out of me as I watched Hudson come close to me on the floor, closer than before.Soon the strange anxiety got the best of me, and I found myself shaking. It was so bad that my fingers wouldn't stay still, I had to quickly bind them together in other to remain comported, to not fall apart as my thoughts ran wild in my mind.I couldn't even tell what I was more terrified of now between Hudson gaining knowledge of Valerie and those evil creatures or him not wanting me anymore. But one thing was a fact, I couldn't loose Hudson no matter what, I couldn't bear to let him dislike me!No matter what we had to be together. We had to make things work...we had to get married like I initially planned. That was the only way to keep him to myself and I would do anything to make that happen. Finally, he reached me and let his eyes roam my face for a moment as he squatted to my l
VALERIE'S POV I stood there clenching my fists in anger as I watched her stupid blonde hair disappear from sight and out of my yard, taking with her that poisonous looking maid.The entrance gates jammed with a clicking sound, signalling it had been locked before I turned on my heels, storming back inside. "Let's go inside Nanny," I called out, not bothering to spare a glance her way because I knew she would be right behind me.My strides were brisk and purposeful as I headed straight for the kitchen to pour myself a drink, cause the Lord knows I needed it!Who would've thought my day will get so ruined? Who would've thought Charlotte would confess such evil deeds right in my face! It was like she was daring me, putting up a show... just to spite me. To show she had the upper hand!She had done so much evils and did not once get caught, noticed or even suspected! That was why she was so bold and careless to admit her crimes, isn't it?She feels I wouldn't be able to do anything abou
