All Chapters of Marriage for a Deal: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

HUDSON'S POV Hudson closed his eyes while talking to his mother on the phone. Elanor was speaking so fast that the only word I could understand was "marriage". Even though that was the only word I heard in my mother's very long speech, I already knew what she was saying.My family wanted me to marry the heiress of Calleumston Airlines and Aceise Chains of malls. I knew for a long time that my father wanted me to enter Christenson's business in order for my family to gain more power and connections. Christenson's household wants to enter the business world in Spain and expand more, so they've decided to marry off their daughter to the Vasco's firstborn due to the fact that they couldn't do that without connection to the Vasco's household. And what every family wants will only happen when the only heiress of Christenson and the firstborn of Vasco get married.Marrying someone is not my thing; all I care about is running the company and enjoying my bachelor days. But if marrying someone

ACEIA’S POVI already met Hudson's parents, and they seemed kind. But Hudson's father looks strict and serious as hell. Maybe it's like that when you are a business tycoon and an influential and powerful... Oh no, no! Hudson is also a business owner, but he doesn't seem strict. He actually seemed lunatic, for Christ's sake! One of the things I didn't like about that man. His type is more the mysterious type... A good boy is one who is easy to obey.After our argument two days ago, Hudson seems to have changed; he acted like we were on good terms, like we hadn't shouted at each other."Stop staring at me, woman," Hudson said, who's sitting across the table."I'm not, Mr. Butler," Hudson chuckled, and it sounded cool in my ears. His laughter is pleasant to the ears.We are currently on the patio, sitting on the patio chair.When my parents are in front of him, he looks respectable. He was the kind that any parent would fall in love with and want him to be a son-in-law. I knew Hudson's di

HUDSON'S POVWhen I awoke and beheld my wife's enchanting visage, an involuntary, beaming smile illuminated my face.What a splendid morning!She resembled a serene pagan goddess in the midst of her beauty. Her lips, not as ample as the coveted Angelina Jolie's, possessed a distinct allure with a full lower lip and a slender upper lip, radiating a sensuous and attractive charm reminiscent of moist pomegranate seeds.Her nose boasted a duchess-like elegance, a highly sought-after feature among celebrities. Yet, my wife's was naturally flawless, a divine endowment.Her eyes, slanting gracefully like a cat's, were further accentuated by long eyelashes and impeccably shaped eyebrows that consistently arched when directed my way. I found her allure heightened when she gracefully raised an eyebrow in my direction.I planted a sweet kiss on my wife's lips. What can they do now? Can I invite her to go grocery shopping? Aceia’smommy said I should teach Aceia even simple house chores. Her mom sa

ACEIA’S POV"Pull up the car over there." Hudson halted the car on the side of the road, not heading straight to the gate of the land where Aidan was.It was the construction site for my emporium, and yes, Aidan was the engineer. That's why I didn't want Hudson to enter the site."Why here?""I don't want anyone to see us together. No one should know we're married. We're going to break up anyway."His brow shot up. "Who said we'd get divorced? That will happen when pigs fly.""Alright, bye. Thanks for driving me, Mr. Vasco." I tried to pull the door handle, but it was locked, so I looked back at Hudson."Unlock the door." Hudson placed his index finger over his lips."The heck? We're not a real couple."Hudson just looked at me, not moving, so I sighed. "Okay, fine!" I leaned forward and kissed him on the lips. What should have been just a dampening kiss turned into a torrid one as Hudson cupped the back of my head and deepened the kiss."Stop, Mr. Vasco; this is not the right spot for

ACEIA'S POVStress had been too much for either Hudson or me, and we decided right away that we needed a vacation. This vacation not only looked like a great way to unwind, but it also gave me a priceless chance to reflect.The following morning, as the dawn broke through the curtains, I grabbed for Hudson and found nothing but empty space next to me. Relentlessly, I got out of bed and faced the new day's routine. The sound of the shower invited, and I quickly got ready to wash away the last bits of worry that were clinging to my exhausted body.With all that steam around me in the shower, my thoughts started to stray. I could still feel the first thrill of our scheduled actions flashing across my mind. But then a twinge of disappointment struck when Hudson's sudden disappearance to take a call came back to mind. The unpredictability of everyday life was interfering with the anticipation of what was intended to happen.After coming out of the bathroom, I immediately got dressed. I wore
