Marriage for a Deal Chapter 16
ACEIA'S POVAfter a blissful two weeks of vacation, we found ourselves back in New York because of Hudson's mounting responsibilities. Surprisingly, the international escapade had provided an unexpected buffer, allowing me the space to adapt to my surroundings in ways I hadn't anticipated.As the first rays of morning painted the sky, I awoke at 6 AM, only to discover an empty space beside me—a telltale sign that Hudson had risen earlier and vanished into the tasks that awaited him.The notion to explore his walk-in closet struck me—a spontaneous decision that led to me donning Hudson's polo long sleeve without a second thought. The fabric enveloped me, carrying a sense of familiarity that transcended mere clothing.The enticing aroma of breakfast beckoned, pulling me toward the kitchen. The living room remained deserted, so I navigated my way to where the source of the delicious scent emanated. A subtle curiosity lingered—could Hudson, in fact, cook?"Morning!" Hudson greeted me as I

ACEIA'S POVHudson dropped me off at the busy mall, making sure it was convenient for me. Later, he arranged for the family driver to be ready to take me home after my errands. I sighed, feeling a bit restricted because I couldn't spontaneously hang out with friends, even though Hudson worries about them.In the mall, I enjoyed using Hudson's black card since I didn't have my own money. I went to a home decor store and picked things for our new house that matched the vibe.I chuckled at myself because I never thought I could do these things alone. In the past, my mom's secretary took care of everything, from basic grocery shopping to getting fancy stuff.Pleased with my purchases, I realize it's time to tackle grocery shopping independently, wanting to show Hudson my capability. With this goal in mind, I carefully select foods essential to our home.After wrapping up my tasks, it's past 3, and I decide to unwind at the nearest cafe. I delegate the handling of my purchases to the driver

ACEIA'S POVI stirred, feeling as if I'd been through a rough encounter. When I opened my eyes, a blush crept up my cheeks as I observed my tangled position with Hudson.His arm encircled my waist, his head nestled in the curve of my neck, and one of his legs rested on my thighs. The pulsing presence of his manhood, fully awake and alert, left me acknowledging the existence of a morning erection. Good Lord.While we'd shared a bed for three days now, waking up in this intimate manner was a first. Perhaps Hudson believed our relationship had improved, especially after he generously gave me ice cream the night before.Admit it, you enjoy this. The little voice in my mind suggested.Hudson groaned, tightening his embrace, and his lips found their way to my neck, causing a ticklish sensation.A flutter danced in my chest when his hand slipped beneath my blouse, venturing toward my chest. I should have protested or raised my voice, but instead, I found myself strangely liking it, yearning f

HUDSON'S POVI found myself changing the bedsheet, determined to get rid of the stubborn stain from the night before, as Aceia suggested. With a grin stretching from ear to ear, I swapped the old sheet for a fresh one, reveling in the satisfying feeling of a clean bed.Suddenly, a loud shriek echoed through the air, jolting me out of my contentment. "What the..." I rushed towards the source of the scream.Pushing open the bathroom door, I discovered Aceia perched on the bowl, visibly in pain and distress."What happened?" I kneeled down, aligning our faces. "Why are you screaming?"Her eyes shot me a sharp look. "I hate you!" she yelled. "You should have told me it hurts when I pee! It didn't hurt earlier, but now it hurts. I hate you, Hudson! My cat is in pain!"I blinked. "C-Cat?""Vagina! You idiot!" Aceia seized my shoulder, squeezing it tightly. "Darn it! Hudson, it hurts. We've done it before, so why does it still hurt?”I felt a surge of frustration, observing the pain etched on

ACEIA'S POVIt's been five days since the doctor said that I should take a rest. And those five days, Hudson took care of me, and at the same time, it bores me to stay at home. What if it stays like this until I am fully healed?Hudson is overreacting to taking care of me, but I couldn't say no. I'm just thankful because he doesn't accompany me to the bathroom to take a shower or to clean myself.Thank God for that.I carefully got up from the bed, then looked at the clock on the bedside table.Nine AM.I stretched my arms, then left the bed and slowly walked towards the bathroom to fix myself.I smiled as I felt only a little pain in my femininity. The first few days after what happened were the worst of all. I almost pass out from the pain when I urinate. The pain was so excruciating that I had been killing Hudson in my mind over and over again as I peed.After I brushed my teeth, I washed myself in the hot tub, then slowly walked back to bed. It was only right when the door opened
Marriage for a Deal Chapter 21
The next day, I cooked breakfast for Hudson. I don't know why I did it. Maybe because I'm just happy about what happened last night.I don't know what to feel anymore. I don't want this marriage, but here I am doing the job of being a housewife, cooking for a husband.Maybe I should give it a try? This is for the meantime; after all, if someone is in this situation, they might also let things unfold to their places.I brought the food that I cooked to our bedroom. I looked at Hudson, who was still sleeping, so I just sat on the edge of the bed, gently caressing Hudson's face.Hudson groaned and rubbed his eyes, then woke up."Ace?"Good morning, my husband! "Hudson finally opened his eyes. He didn't say anything; he just stared at me as if confused."Your wake-up call is nice, isn't it? Now get up and have breakfast." I stood up and took the bed tray containing the food from the table. I placed it in front of Hudson after he sat down. I sat again on the edge of the bed."This is new.
Marriage for a Deal Chapter 22
After me and mom talk, we eat dinner, and then I call Hudson to come and pick me up. I already wanted to go because mom has a lot of questions that I don't have answers to. Even I don't know what I am feeling. All I know is that I'm trying to be a good wife.I called Hudson a couple of times, but he didn't answer. His cell phone kept ringing, so I asked my mom if she had the number of Hudson's secretary, and mom immediately gave it to me.As soon as I got it, I dialed Hudson's secretary's number. It was almost six o'clock in the evening. I feel so fucking tired of what I did all day. After me and mom talk, I arrange my things in my room and plan to get them tomorrow, or maybe if I have time.I breathed a sigh of relief when Hudson's secretary answered my call."Hello, is this Hudson's secretary?" I said on the other line."Good evening, ma'am. Yes, it's Mr. Hudson's secretary. What can I do for you?" A woman asked from the other line.I hesitated to ask, but in the end, I did. "Do you
Marriage for a Deal Chapter 23
HUDSON'S POVOne week has passed without Aceia talking to me. Every time I attempt to talk to my wife, she always has an excuse for not talking to me. Just like now. We are eating face-to-face, but Aceia never said a word.My annoyance was too much, but I couldn't do anything. I was irritated. I don't know what I did or why Aceia is being like this.I tried talking to her in any way that I could think of. I tried pleasing my wife in every way, but to no avail. I tried to corner her in the bathroom and kiss her senselessly, but she didn't complain and just stood there like a statue. And this is the cruelest thing that has happened in the past week. I tried to seduce her. I miss my wife; that's why I started kissing her on the lips down to her neck. I thought she would stop me, but she let me do what I wanted. I was the one who stopped voluntarily because my wife was like a statue, cold and emotionless.I want to shout because of frustration! I will lose my mind every time we are togeth
