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
Valerie POV "Good morning ma'am!" A voice greeted cheerily the minute I stepped my foot out of my room, I hadn't even shut my door yet before she greeted. Clearly startled, by the sudden greeting, I turned to it's direction and saw it was one of the maids Papa sent over let. We shared a small laugh once our eyes met, partly because of how startled i was. I almost dropped my bag, "Good morning Gloria, sleep well?" I asked, still smiling She nodded eagerly and resumed her chores while I headed downstairs. Taking my time so as not to slip with my heels, Miles has a habit of always stepping out of his room while brushing his teeth, so most times he ended up leaving drops of water everywhere he goes during that time and the stairs were no exception. My heels clicking the steps must've been so loud cause by the time I took the last flight of stairs, I had quite an audience waiting for me at the foot of the stairs. A proud looking Miley, dazed Miles and a not so happy Nanny Beth,
VALERIE'S POV The drive to the office didn't take so long that in about 40 minutes time I was already inside De Hernandez Dreamz building and heading for my office while nodding to the series of greetings I received.I was seriously considering changing my office or at least the route to my office, because the amount of greetings and attention I get each time I came in was alarming. It was almost as if everyone knew when exactly I was coming and position themselves to be in my face. I get it though, everyone was currying favour and all but then, I would love to keep my schedules private. Who knows, I might end up seeing something that I wouldn't see on a normal day because they were not expecting me.I should talk to Rob about it. Speaking of Rob, I didn't see him in his office as I passed to mine.I was about to wonder where he went until I opened the door of my office and an all too familiar scent of a coco cologne hit my nostrils, it could only belong to him. I took a deep inhale
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
