ACEIA'S POV The moment the plane landed in Spain, I immediately went to Vasco's mansion. I know what I'm going to do will have a huge impact on me, but I don't care less. I need to do this for myself.I should have done this before. I know my place, and I shouldn't let this happen. And now I'm making these things up. I don't want to run from my problem anymore.When I arrived at Vasco's mansion, I didn't mind the house helpers greeting me. I immediately went to Hudson's room to look for him and talk.I slowly pushed the door open, and I was surprised to see Hudson in bed with Marthina.My heart shattered as I stood there watching my husband in bed with his ex-wife. It was as if a million knives pierced my heart at what I'd witnessed.Tears rolled down my cheeks. But I immediately dried them. I don't want to look pathetic, even though it hurts so much.My world was just crushed when I saw them. I did everything to understand. I accepted him even when I knew he had a son with his ex-wi

ACEIA'S POVAfter I found out that I'm pregnant, I already decided to leave and hide. It wasn't easy for me, but I needed to do it in order to move forward. My marriage hurt me, but I can't let it affect me, specifically since I am pregnant.Even though what happened to us is an agony in my heart, it still leaves me with a beautiful result, and that is my baby, our baby. I never planned to tell Hudson since I know he has his own family. I don't want my child to feel like an outcast, so maybe keeping it a secret is the best decision.Keeping a secret means keeping it from everyone. I never told my parents about my pregnancy. The moment I left New York, I cut off my communication with them.I decided to start my life in Germany. I raised my child with the help of Aidan and Beatrice. Both of them were there when I was pregnant; they became my partners in my pregnancy journey.It had been five long years since the tumultuous end of my marriage. Life had settled into a peaceful rhythm, and

As I accepted the daunting responsibility of running our family company, the weight of the world seemed to settle on my shoulders. And to add to the complexity of it all, my mother insisted that we live with her during this time. I don't know what she was thinking, but she had this whole dream of a big, happy family under one roof. And apparently, I couldn't argue with a woman who had her ways.So here we were, in my parents' house, with breakfast spread across the table. The clinking of cutlery against plates filled the air, drowning out the silence that had settled over us like a fog."Mommy, can I go with you to your workplace?" my daughter, Alison, piped up innocently, her big blue eyes shining with curiosity.As I hesitated, my mind raced to form an appropriate response. "As much as I'd love to have you, sweetheart, mommy will be very busy," I managed to say, my voice betraying the internal turmoil. "Maybe some other time."The silence that followed felt heavy, unbroken by anythin

ACEIA'S POVAlison was trying to reach for the doll, so she dropped the toy that she was holding. I saw Hudson, who's in the same store too, and I didn't know what he was doing there. He was about to walk out when he saw my daughter struggling to reach the doll.He stopped for a bit to stare at Alison before handing her the doll she wanted. He also picked up the toy that Alison dropped and handed it to her."Fuck," I whispered and hurriedly ran closer to it.Hudson bent down so he could look at my daughter up close. He just stared at her while Alison was thinking about whether she should get the doll or not."Alison Haven!" I called in panic.Hudson and Alison looked at me. Alison was smiling, but Hudson was serious. His dark eyes pierced into me. It was like he was telling me something. I already knew what was running through his mind."Iook, mommy, he also has green eyes like me!" Alison said happily."Yeah, he is, sweetheart. Let's go," I stammered before grabbing her hand to pull h

ACEIA'S POVI immediately ran out of the room so that I could go home already, and when I found the door out of the house, I immediately turned it open, but I stopped when suddenly someone spoke."Where do you think you're going?" The nostalgic owner of that voice stopped me. I immediately turned to face him. I gasped when l saw Hudson only wearing an apron and khaki shorts.With a taunting look on Hudson's face, he asked, "enjoying the view?"Because of what I heard, I immediately averted my eyes and said, "In your dreams, anyway, why am I here at your house?""I brought you here because you were drunk last night," Hudson said, as if it were nothing."You should just drop me off at my parents house. You don't have to take me here." Hudson didn't answer my question; instead, he handed me something."Here, drink it to get rid of your headache, and also take a bath because you stink already. I have prepared your clothes in your room. You can use it," Hudson said in an authoritative voice
