Chapter 31

VALERIE'S POV After half running through the hallway, passing quite a number of doors I finally reached the opening that led to the ground floor. Relief coursed through my veins at the sight of people going about their different affairs absentmindedly, with no knowledge of what had transpired between me and Hudson few minutes ago. I turned back a bit to gauge where I was coming from and to say I was surprised would be an understatement."I can't believe I let that dick head drag me all the way down there," the storage room I had just left him in was at the end of the long hallway. Possibly even the last room!I shook my head a bit at the absurdity of the whole situation. It was unbelievable. A bunch of nurses gave me weird looks when they saw the angle I was coming out from.I just gave them a tight smile and hurried off to the entrance. It didn't take long I found two dirty blonde heads chasing balloons in the parking lot and I hurried to them.They were the first to see me while

Chapter 32

HUDSON'S POV "Why is it taking so much time? does that doctor know what he's doing at all?" Mom bellowed, pacing back and forth in the hallway. We we're currently seated at the VIP ward, just outside Charlotte's private room waiting for news from the doctor.Admittedly, it's been quite sometime since the doctor went in to check on her and yet there was still no news from the nurses, and neither was the doctor coming out.But Mom's continuous tantrums was not helping matters at all. She had called for the nurses attention thrice already. "Okay that's it! That doctor must be a quack! How can they let someone like this become a doctor in a prestigious hospital such as this?! I'm reporting him right now. No! I'm no longer going to let him touch even a hair on her body!" She yelled and rushed to push the room door but I already had enough."Can you stop it?! Just stop it! What is wrong with you?!" she flinched at the tone of my voice, pausing in her tracks."I get it, you're worried abou

Chapter 33HUDSON'S POV Has there ever been a time when you see yourself doing a particular thing that you know you shouldn't do but you can't stop anyway?Because that was how I felt right now, holding unto Valerie's hand and running through a dimly lit hallway right here in the hospital.I knew something was up with me the minute I saw her in my sleep but what i never imagined was locking herself and I in a storage room!"What the is wrong with you,Mr Rodriguez? If you have bad posture, don't you know the way to the gym?!" She spat angrily at me.I took a glance at her and immediately turned away, partly because I was embarrassed by the kind of thoughts that were creeping to my mind the longer I stared at her.It was bad enough I shamelessly dragged her here just because I saw Charlotte in the crowd, but i wasn't going to loose my sense of proportion while I was at it.I honestly couldn't explain why I ran though, it didn't make sense. I wasn't doing anything wrong by talking to Va

HUDSON'S POV Mommy? What does that even mean?! How could she be married when her file clearly stated she wasn't, or was I mistaken? Without wasting time, I pulled out my phone from my pocket, checking past messages from James. Luckily, I wasn't one to delete receipts and soon I found the file he sent me that day containing all Val's info. I quickly zoomed in and read it out loud, "Name: Valerie Ann Marie Hernandez. Age: 26 Guardian: Henry Hernandez Marital Status: Single " See, single! Absolutely single! Which meant she wasn't married. So how could a child be calling her mommy then? Did she... did she mess around after our divorce and then got herself knocked up by a ... "Oh c'mon, that's not even possible! Even if she was a wildcat, she's from a respectable family after all. She couldn't have done that." I chuckled sheepishly at the thought but suddenly paused, all smiles disappearing from my face as a thought crept into my mind, "Or could she?" She dared to seduce

Chapter 35

HUDSON'S POV "Erm, Boss?" James asked, his hoarse voice thick with trepidation."Yes James? Did you not get what I just said?" I snapped back."H-Huh? I-I ... " he stuttered and my nose scrunched up in distaste at his behavior. "I said get me every single detail about Valerie and the man she's seeing! What do you not understand?" I demanded, my voice rising with annoyance."I got what you said boss." He rushed to explain, "But... Miss Valerie's file is locked. Most details are confidential, I only managed to get what I could that day and everything is in stored in the file I sent you previously,"I remained silent, my lips pursed in silent anger. "So you're telling me you can't do your job?" I said calmly, my voice dangerously low. "Not at all, Boss! I will -But I cut him off, leaning forward, my elbows on my black oak desk, the phone close to my lips. "I don't care about locked files and confidentiality. What I know is you're going to bring me every detail that I want to know.

Chapter 36

VALERIE'S POV My encounter with Hudson at the hospital aside, the day did go smoothly. Better than I expected even.First, it was confirmed Papa's health wasn't threatened with any serious alignment or worse. It was just a case of the lack of some vital vitamins a person of his age should have, nothing a few tablets couldn't handle.And even at that, he was still strong enough to lift those chubby triplets of mine. I can't even begin to explain to you how relieving the sight of all four of them strong and happy made me.The kids finally got to meet their great grandpa. The joy on their faces when he paid for their toys and ordered more food was simply exceptional. Mind you, I buy them toys, we go out to have fun and all but it just wasn't the same. They were different, it was almost like they were glad it was him that got them.I sighed and put down my phone on the bedside table before sinking back to the soft linen of my bed."I wonder how they would have felt if Mom and Dad were h

Chapter 37 VALERIE'S POV I walked in, head held high as my heels clicked against the tiled floors. Everyone immediately stood up as a sign of respect, their tension filled eyes focused on my every movement and I basked in the attention. From the corner of my eye, I noticed Aunt Barbara and Patricia never stood up. As expected, no surprise there at all but what actually got me was the account manager beside Barbara, representing De Hernandez Made-to-Order Furniture Co. He never stood up either, rather he remained nonchalantly seated. Pompously looking even as he eyed the other account manager beside Patricia, trying to force him to sit down. The young man was skeptical at first,but after a death glare from Barbara, he immediately sat down. The other account managers from different subsidiaries looked on with apprehension at my dear aunties open display of disregard. But instead of giving them what they wanted I pretended not to notice and took my seat at the head of the ta

Chapter 38

VALERIE'S POV The whole table went silent. No one daring to speak for anyone again, even Patricia looked properly shaken up. She was most definitely not expecting me to know about the secret account.I was yet to locate the account though, but currently, knowing it's existence was just enough.My eyes landed on the account manager that didn't stand when I came in. "How about you?"He held my gaze for a few minutes and turned to glance at Barbara, as though asking for permission. She leaned in to whisper something in his ear like a four year old, something Mily would do. I snorted a laugh at the thought and gently relaxed on my seat, stirring my coffee a bit. Everyone watched in anticipation, waiting for the inevitable and finally Aunt Barbara spoke up, "We've reviewed our accounts and they are perfect. No discrepancies, you can check them out yourself." A loud bang sounded on the table causing everyone to jump as she dropped a load of files. "Rob," she called, "Give it her"I let

Chapter 39

VALERIE'S POV I went back to my office after the meeting and started working on the stack of documents on my desk. There were so much jobs to be done. Tons of designs to approve, projects to conclude, project sites to visit and lots more. And also, let's not forget the Sky Castle project as well- Hudson's project.Argh, I don't even want to think about it. That project alone was heavy duty and it's excellence being tied to Hudson made it all the more worse.I could feel an ache coming on just from the thought of it. I sighed, putting down my pen to relax on my soft ass chair. "It's moments like this that I'm grateful I'm rich." I mean, imagine thinking about handling all these workloads without the comfort of this leather seat, "Just terrible!"I stayed like that for few minutes, enjoying the silence before finally repositioning myself to resume work. "I better get started with concrete plans for Hudson's building. The last I want is that dick head having a reason to run his mouth

Chapter 40

VALERIE'S POV After having a light lunch at the Red Bites just like Rob had 'instructed', I headed home. There wasn't anything urgent that needed my attention at the office anyway, and besides I had already dealt with at least half of the documents on my desk. Surely, a half day off wouldn't stop the company from running now, can it? So therefore, here I was tied up in a white apron preparing dinner for the kids. It has been quite a while since I made them dinner myself, "Should I slice the vegetables, ma'am?" one of the new help asked. I turned from the boiling pot to check behind me at the sound of her voice. She quickly pointed to the bowl of carrots and "oh, I haven't done that? I will get right to it don't worry." "Please ma'am," she insisted, her voice calm but still held a sense of urgency in them. "I was sent here to work and help out. If the chairman finds out I'm doing the opposite then... I don't... I don't know what he might do to me." I sighed and took in he
