All Chapters of Marriage for a Deal: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

ACEIA'S POVHudson still loves Marthina. I could feel it. My heart shattered into a million pieces."What's wrong, Mommy Ace?" Phoenix's sad voice pulled me out of my trance. I wiped away the tears I didn't even realize had fallen.And that got the attention of Marthina and Hudson."Aceia?" I put Phoenix down, then I ran towards our room. I ran to the bathroom, leaned my back against the door, and cried.Does I really have a place in Hudson's heart? It hurts every time I see them. It's like I'm the only one who believes that I still have a place in my husband's heart."Aceia?" Hudson called out, followed by soft knocks on the door. I probably need to tell Hudson what I think. I don't want what is happening. It hurts too much. I wipe my wet cheek with my palm before opening the door."Ace?" Hudson said softly."Are you even aware that you've been hurting me since yesterday, Hudson?""Ace?" I punched him hard in the chest before I left the bathroom."You are fucking insensitive!" I bell

ACEIA'S POVWhile I was sitting and sipping coffee with a little cream, I was talking on the cell phone with Beatrice. After what happened, I called Beatrice to talk to her about what I was feeling. I need someone to listen to me because if I don't tell anyone about what I felt, I feel like I'm going to explode.I know what is happening is complicated, but I tried to understand. And I guess even if I tried so hard, there was still always a reason for me to question my decision. I knew from the very beginning that I should walk away and let Hudson be with his son and Marthina. That's the best decision for me to protect my heart.But I couldn't just let go of my husband. I need to fight for him."You know what? You two need space so that you both think straight," Beatrice said on the other line.Yes, Beatrice is right, but there's a part of me that just can't leave Hudson with Marthina because I know she's planning something."No, I already told you that Marthina is planning something;

"Yes. I really wanted to have a baby with you. I realized that when the first time Phoenix called me mommy," my chest tightened. "We've had it three times, but I still can't feel that I'm pregnant." I turned to Hudson, who was looking at me. "Are you sure you're not infertile?"The man's eyebrows met. "Me? Are you saying that I'm barren? Aceia, I'm a healthy male. I'm not barren!" He sounded horrified."Don't yell at me!" I rolled my eyes at him. "It's annoying. Why haven't I gotten pregnant yet?"I was startled when Hudson put his hand inside my clothes and rubbed my belly. "Take a pregnancy test to be sure. Because I'm sure I'm not sick."I frowned. "I was fertile when something happened to us." My snout grew longer. "Hudson, well, are you sure you're not infertile?""I'm sure." He suddenly was on top of me and planted a kiss on my lips. "I'm not barren, Aceia. Why are you even asking me that kind of question? Well, you, aren't you barren?"She glared at him. "I'm not barren. Asshol

ACEIA'S POVI turned to Hudson as he hugged me around the waist and pulled me closer."Don't walk away from me, my love," Hudson whispered in a sleepy voice.I secretly smiled at what he said. "I don't want to go away, but it's time for dinner, Hudson. We're going to eat. Wake up now."Hudson grunted. "Let's stay in bed, please. One more round and I'll be good."I pinched the young man's arm. "No. It's dinner; we need to eat."After Hudson's meeting, he went back home, and I was happy when he woke me up by touching me. We eventually ended up making love until we were tired.Hudson opened his sleepy eyes. "I'm sleepy.""Hudson, I'm hungry," I said with emphasis, then I got up first. "Get up, Hudson," I said as I walked to the bathroom. "It's dinner time."When I entered the bathroom, I immediately took a warm shower. After finishing, I immediately came out with only a towel covering my body."My love, you're turning me on again," said Hudson, who walked closer to me, then hugged me aro

ACEIA'S POVI felt so numb. I can't feel anything other than my heart being torn into pieces.I already expected that I would be hurt because of Hudson, because I know what is happening right now is complicated, but I never thought that I would be in this kind of pain. My chest was tightening as if it were being stepped on and pierced with thousands of needles."Ace! Ace!"I turned away when I heard my name being called.When I saw that it was Aidan, I tried to smile but failed. "Hey, what are you doing here?"I didn't expect to see Aidan at that moment, but he became my client when he needed clothes for the events he was part of. I remember that we had a meeting; that's why he was here.Aidan immediately grabbed me by both shoulders as he approached me. "Are you okay? What happened?" Aidan asked me with worry in his face. "Talk to me, Aceia.""I think... I'm in pain," I whispered, then looked into the young man's eyes. "It seems like something is breaking my heart while I'm talking n
