VALERIE'S POV “$30 million!!” My head did a 360 degree turn to that round table few feet’s away from mine, and my lips turned upwards in a malicious smile. “It’s game time people!” I squealed excitedly in my mind. I could hardly keep the smile off my face after his bass voice saturated the room like a smoke, keeping everyone locked in and brimming with a new type of excitement. The Frugal CEO aka ‘I don’t invest in things that don’t generate income’ was joining the show! That was huge! I’ve got him right where I wanted. “Oh! I see you’ve angered the lion out of the cage Val, now this is what I call interesting” Mama Joyce said with a raised eyebrow as she sat up on her seat. “Okay people!” The auctioneer called out. “I’ve just been informed that we have some new shiny items have been added to the list, so take out your cards and GET. READY!” The crowd cheered and haut in anticipation, everyone hyped by both the auctioneer’s announcement and fresh competitors. I scanned the h

Valerie's POV "Val! What is it?" Mama Joyce worried voice filtered into my ears, drawing me back to the present situation. "Huh?" I managed to let out, blinking my eyes to fully take in her panicky face."What's wrong? You just zoned out," I squinted my eyes, the sound of more and more figures getting called out heightened my senses. "$600m!! going!"That jewelry set belonged to me! Hudson's Grandpa gave them to me when I married Hudson. It was meant for the daughter in law of the family, which was in fact me. After signing the divorce papers I didn't think to take it with me. Not like I took much of my belongings anyways.I only took what I brought with me before our marriage. Everything else I left them behind. There was only one person that would have the authority to bring it here to be sold off, and that was Grandpa himself!I turned to Hudson's table again and a bitter chuckle left my lips, "Looks like Grandpa doesn't approve of your union, Charlotte." Charlotte's emotions we

VELERIE’S POVI strolled out of the elevator, the tail of my dress sweeping through the empty parking lot as I walked towards my white Rolls-Royce Spectre at the far end of the space. The night had gone surprisingly well, better than I imagined it would. The look on Hudson’s face should be framed!Ah! The man looked like I had poured sand into his meal. Highly comical! Just before I could reach my car, I heard my name again. For the second time this evening, I turned around just in time to evade an incoming slap from… Charlotte??What! This b!tch got balls!“What the hell is wrong with you?” I asked, alarmed at the sudden attack. She moved again to grab my hair but this time I was prepared, and I pushed her off with my clutch as support. She stumbled to the ground and groaned in irritation before moving to stand again to attack me.I readied myself, this time it won’t be just a push dumb ball. But suddenly she stopped halfway and fell back to the ground, clenching her foot. “Ouch! My a

Valerie's POV Aunt Barbara's face twisted in rage as she shouted, "How dare you?!" Patricia struggled to steady her, but Barbara's anger amplified from Patricia’s very effort and she pushed her away, a scowl deep in her features. Rob stepped forward, his spotless white suit a stark contrast to my fiery red dress as he partly shielded me protectively from their view with his frame. A warm feeling spread throughout my body at his gesture, filling me up with a comfort I didn’t even realize I needed in the face of these sharks. He greeted my aunties with a respectful bow and tight smile, "It's nice to see you too, Madame Barbara, Madame Patricia." Barbara's scowl deepened, her breathing heavy with unbridled anger as she stood awkwardly on one foot, her ankle already swelling from Rob's push. Argh, that must hurt a lot. "Rob, you shouldn't have done that," Patricia scolded softly, casting her sister a pitiful glance. "Look, she's sprained her ankle." I winced at the sight of Barbara'

Hudson's POV Ever since we left to the King's Hotel for the Elite Soriee event my emotions had just been all over the place. I had always considered myself an intelligent and composed person, only making decisions after a well articulated thinking process.But somehow all that flew out the window the minute I saw Valerie walk into that hall this evening. First she showed up looking like she was dressed to kill, making all the men to look at her like a meal, then she went right ahead to openly challenge Charlotte in the bid and even went further to challenge me!I had initially thought she was being her nitpicking self, begging for attention. That she wanted to use Charlotte to earn a title amongst the elite tonight, so I made sure to place the highest bid to beat her at her own game.Oh, how wrong I was. That had to be the most foolish decision I had ever taken in my entire life!I mean, how could I have been so reckless? Who places $50 trillion bid on a handbag?!I was so caught u

HUDSON'S POV I didn't even get the opportunity to appreciate the warmth and grandness of the living room before Mom's angry voice echoed in the huge mansion. "Where is he?! Is he ignoring me?"The Head housekeeper was hot on her trail, her elderly body mustering all the energy she could manage just to meet up with Mom's heavy strides. "Ma'am please, it's already late. Why don't you talk to him tomorrow, ma'am?"The house keeper's expression became more panicky the more doors Mom opened and closed in each floor, storming her way through the maids that scurried away in fear of being lashed out on.She was already on the third floor by the time I came in. I looked to the side and saw that Aunt Claire was busy having a maid serve her tea on one of the living room sofas while Charlotte sat opposite her equally sipping tea, totally unbothered.I fumed at the scene before me, what was wrong with these people?It was obvious Aunt Claire had set up mom for this charade when she knew fully we

HUDSON'S POV I woke up with a start, eyes swollen and bloodshot from tozing and turning all night. My evening was stressful and tiring if I do say the least, so I should have been tired enough to be totally knocked out through out the night, right?But no, that wasn't the case at all. I kept having insane dreams about that brown haired cheat.I can't even believe I was thinking about her, all night ! About Valerie of all people. It was like she was stuck in my head. I closed my eyes to sleep for few minutes, next thing I know, am dreaming about her.And trust me when I say they were all horrid images. Completely horrid images of her kissing several men and letting them groupe her body, her breasts going down to her waist and... argh! Can you imagine it?Like what the hell is that? Why did I even have such images in my head? Like... how???Where did they all come from?This was that ball, I'm telling you. She messed with my head real good. I shouldn't have gone to that ball at all!

Valerie’s povWhat happened?Why did he suddenly collapse?? The questions were just falling one after the other from my lips as I hurried up the stairs with my silver high heels, Nanny Beth behind me. My thoughts were all over the place, all I could think about hurrying on those stairs was how I had ignored his calls. How I never reached out to him since I returned to the city.He had been calling repeatedly, both at the office and at home but I let it all go to voicemail. I was busy ignoring him, when he could have been in danger. When he could have needed me. Simply because I didn’t want him to nag at me to stay with him, I couldn’t bear to live in the same house as those people that called themselves my family. So I busied his calls and postponed going to see him, I shouldn’t have done that. That was selfish and unreasonable.“What if something happened back at home? Did you hear anything Nanny?” I asked, pausing on the steps to face her, my voice soft as though saying the word

VALERIE'S POVThe minute my brain processed who exactly the figure was, I half ran into the room and shut the door tight, my back against the door. My heart was racing rapidly, my chest heaving up and down as I took in the happy faces of my kids in front of me, “Ohhh, God. What is this? What is he doing here?”Mason turned to look at me, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion. The little boy was probably wondering why his mom was standing at the door smiling sheepishly at him. But the fact was, the hospital doors were transparent and there was no telling that Hudson wouldn’t stand in front of it! And if he did stand in front of it, he would most definitely see us!The last thing I wanted right now was my kids seeing a total look alike of Mason! Especially after the misunderstanding this morning. If that were to happen, “Oh no, I can’t… I don’t want to even imagine,”My hands went to the top of my chest in an attempt to calm down my ragged breathing. And after a minute or so, I swallowed

VALERIE'S POV What is he staring at? I turned my neck to check behind me, but before I could let a word out,a strong pull on my arm tugged me forward and in seconds i was running. But not before I got a whiff of a certain blonde hair.Quickly, I struggled to pull away, "Hey, let me go!" I exclaimed, but his grip only got tighter and he pulled me even closer.But that didn't stop me, "Let me go, you big headed dick head!" his hand clapsed my mouth shut at those words, silencing my screams as he pulled me into a narrow hallway, out of people's sight.He only stopped when we reached an unlocked room and I pushed him away instantly, gasping for breath while he rushed to lock the door behind us.My eyes frantically looked around, noting we we're in some sort of storage room for drugs and papers before I turned to face him, "What is the meaning of this, Mr Rodriguez? If your posture has gotten so bad and you're in need for some exercising, don't you know the way to the gym?" I spat heatedl
