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,

She might get to know of Aby’s relationship issue with her mom and maybe even the fight Hudson had with Charlotte?

I guess it might be the maid Val was close to in the past during her marriage?

    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

    VALERIE'S POV "That's kidnapping Nana," I replied with a light smile, "But what do you mean that I'm going to the event, I don't remember informing you i was attending. And as a matter of fact, I won't be attending but why are you even attending in the first place? You don't have a child that goes there""What do you mean you're not attending?" She asked sharply, "All parents whose child attend that school will be present. All of them, this is the best time to mingle with the parents of your children's friends. Get to know them and see what sort of people they are, whether to cut them off from your children's lives or get closer to them. Believe it or not, you will need people with kids around the age of yours. It helps I tell you, take it from me." She explained, her words giving me a new dimension of the whole event."Besides, there will be a lot of shows and activity presented by the kids. I'm sure your kids are excited already, you better take your ass there! And besides, if you

    HUDSON'S POV "You're really not going to call her, Boss?" James asked for the third time today after I told him to stop asking how the phone call with - You know who- went.I didn't even want to mention her name at this point, I felt too foolish to do it. Ashamed even, cause there I was, so busy making plans to be meeting a woman that didn't give a shit about me while my daughter was dieing in silence, all alone.I was so preoccupied with thoughts about Her that I didn't realize my daughter was struggling that bad. I mean, I knew something was up with Aby but I didn't know what exactly.I felt like it was something her mom could talk to her about it but Charlotte had to be the most dumb, self centered and foolish mother I had ever come across!I didn't even realize that there were mother's like Charlotte until we had Aby.But thinking about it all with a clear mind, we really were bad parents. Both myself and Charlotte. We were horrible parents, all caught up in our own lives and de

    HUDSON'S POV I took a moment to actually look at her though, her short black hair that was styled in some sort of beach wave kind of thing as it hanged loosely around her shoulders, coupled with her complete white outfits, a top & trouser, and topped off with a cream colored shawl wrapped around her shoulders. She looked modest and at the same time elegant, despite her age. Only Mom could pull off such a look, she looked good."So my end point is that you two are a team, no one can afford to loose the other player. At least not right now, not now that Abrille has this condition. You need to -"So she told you that, huh?" I interrupted calmly, my gaze fixed on her features to make sure I read every one of the emotions that crossed her face. She pursed her lips at my question and swallowed gently before speaking, "Yes, she told me. She-"Did she also tell you her role in all of this?" I cut her off again, adjusting on my seat as i got serious. It was high time I put an end to this conv

    VALERIE'S POV "Are you sure about this, Valerie?" Nana asked for at least the third time today. "You haven't practiced for a very long time, plus you had kids too. Don't you think this is a bit of a stretch?" Anyone could sense the worry in her tone and I totally understood her concerns but I had already made up my mind to do this so I must see it to the end."Which is why I'm here practicing, isn't it Nana?" I responded and paused to catch my breath for sometime. Sweat dripped down the side of my face, tiny baby hairs that escaped the bun on my head glued to my forehead from all the rigorous bodily movements I had subjected myself to for the past 40 minutes at a stretch. This was probably the 5th round of dancing that I had done since I arrived at Nana's estate this morning and girl! I had never felt so alive!Don't get me wrong, my lungs were literally killing right now, my throat was all patchy and begging for even a the smallest drop of water but still, I had this insane feeling

    Third person POV *****Night of the show The stage was set up with big bright lights flashing down to give the audience a clear view of the presenters currently on stage. And right at the center were ten young dancers, completely dressed up for the role that were presenting. Each of them, not looking more than six years of age."We rock! Hurray!" They echoed in perfect sync and froze in their positions, the music in the background stopping almost immediately as everywhere fell dead silent. But then a moment later the sea of parents burst into cheers and applause, their delighted whistles piercing the air causing the young performers to grin excitedly before breaking free in their poses. Their innocent eyes sparkling with excitement and in the spur of the moment, a tiny dancer squealed, "Mommy! I did it!" spotting her mother in the front row. "Yeah, That's my girl!" The lady exclaimed, with as much enthusiasm flashing her personal camera wildly at the littke girl and the cro

    Third person POV *****Night of the show And that she did. Cause just like other men, the man in front beside Hudson held his seat in pure anticipation, his eyes hungrily fixated on the woman's hip movement, not wanting to miss any moment of it, totally disregarding his wife. Then the music swelled, taking a sharper note, and instantly the woman spun around, facing the audience, the skirt of her bloody red dress shuffling from her movements as she revealed her face. Smokey green eyes first came into view, quickly followed by a flawless makeup and red bold lips. Her luscious hair was styled up in a classic side-parted sleek bun on her head, adorned by a single gold hairpin that seemed to shimmer under the dim lights of the stage, alongside het other jewelry. The audience held their breaths as the woman's bold looks came into view, the huge TV screens in the hall quickly picking it up and showcasing her to all. Everyone had one or two reasons to gasps out loud, if not for the

    THIRD PERSON POV ****At the dinner after the show The sounds of glass clicking filled the air as the environment buzzed with light conversations and laughter, warm breeze moving gently in the space, probably due to the trees in the school grounds. But regardless, most will say it was a welcomed change from the heavily air conditioned hall they had just left about 30 minutes ago. True to the proprietress words, a dinner was specially organized after the show for the parents. Nothing too grand, just a few meals to warm the tongue and enough champagne to wash it all down but still, the chairs arrangement remained in the order of relevance to the school. A rooftop space was used to host the dinner. Several round tables that had already been decorated with white tablecloths filled the space, the color-coded ties on each chair round the tables signifying the rank/relevance of each parent. An Ivory colored tie for the Diamond class, a burgundy chair tie for the Ruby class and lastly

    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

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.
