A week has passed since I last met the Hudson guy. Though I have been curious about the reason why he suddenly asked me about my connection to William, I tried my best to take that out of my head. But honestly. sometimes I fail to do that. If he was curious about me. I'm also curious about the reason why he asked me about that. Now that the baby's gone, I need to live on my own. Thinking about starting a new life without him. Without the only connection I had with my affair. I am still furious about how William neglected me and ignored my feelings during those times. I faced everything all alone even though, I honestly need his help. I gave him my all but he forgot everything about me. He moved on and started creating his family. He kicked me out of the scene. I want to make him pay for what he did to my life. I want to see how he begs for me to come back to him. I want his wife, Tessa, to take back every word she told me the last time we met. I simply want to have my revenge, to pr
Early the next morning, I was already half awake but I chose to close my eyes and tried to take a nap since today is the first day of the weekend. Besides, I have been tired of roaming around places just to get hired. Suddenly, I heard someone knocking at my door, followed by Mama Lynette's voice. "Vanessa, get up! Mr. Hudson is here!" She shouted enough for me to hear what she said. I instantly opened my eyes as soon as I heard her. "What? He's here already?" I whispered while staring at the ceiling. He didn't even tell me that he will come here this early! Until now, I haven't decided yet about me having a date with him or not. But, just like what Mr. Hudson said last night, he acknowledged my mother's approval. So, looks like I had to deal with him today. And, this is all because of Mama Lynette! Mama Lynette continued knocking until I finally decided to rise to bed. "Yeah! I'm going now!" I shouted. "You make it fast. Don't make Mr. Hudson wait!" She replied. Then, she final
"So? What happened?" Mama Lynette said while standing in front of me as I opened the door. She made me startled because of her sudden appearance at the door. Looks like she was already waiting for me to come back. I entered the house ignoring what she asked. I put down my sling bag on the couch and sat down. She followed me to the living room and crossed her arms. "Don't tell me it didn't work well?" She asked while raising an eyebrow. I instantly looked at her with disbelief after what she said. "So, you thought that everything will work easily, Ma? Mr. Hudson is a total stranger to me. I didn't even like him, but you forced me to do this," I replied. She sat down beside me and looked at me with confusion. "Then, tell me what happened? Did he hurt you? Did he become rude to you? I'm clueless here!" She replied. Every word Mr. Hudson told me suddenly repeated, including what I heard about Mama Lynette. "Why did you even tell him about my relationship with William? Why did you
When I received the message coming from the company, I slowly felt the teardrops falling from my eyes. I knew from the very start when Tessa entered the building she would do anything just to get rid of me. She would use her influence on people just to kick me out of the company. I tried my best to earn that position, and I didn't do anything against anyone before having that. It was just destiny that brought me to see Tessa again. I don't know if destiny itself wants me to be miserable or lose my mind. From the time that I revealed my affair with William, things got tougher. Sometimes, I almost agree that these happenings in my life were a punishment coming from above, but what more do they want from me? Aren't they satisfied with what happened to me? I lost my son whom people might think was the reason why I got punished. And now, he's gone, why do these unfortunate events continue? I sat down in bed and continued staring at the message from the company. I sighed after that and whi
"Okay. Okay. I'll be there," Then, I ended the call. I ran upstairs to my room and immediately changed clothes. I don't have much time! Mama Lynette is in the emergency room right now. She's being hit by a vehicle. Whoever did this to her has no soul! That driver should pay for what he did! I won't let him get away with this!I went outside bringing my wallet, and immediately called a cab to send me to the hospital where she was in. I don't know what to do now. I'm at the point where I feel like I'm floating in deep waters. I already lost my son, and it almost tore me apart. I don't know what will happen to me if I lose my mother, too. I think I'm going to lose my mind if that happens! I closed my eyes while I was on my way to the hospital. I don't know if the heavens will listen to me because I once committed a sin of having an affair with a married man, but I still believe that the One above is just and fair. "Please save my mother. That's all I ever ask from you," I whispered. A
"I'm the donor. I'm Type O," Nicholas was looking at me while saying those words. I was surprised to know that the reason why he rushed all the way here, was because he was willing to donate blood for Mama Lynette. I didn't expect that he would be kind to us like this. Honestly, ever since I experienced being rejected by William, and being bullied by his wife, Tessa, I almost thought that rich people were like that. They look down on people, and they think of themselves as superior to everyone. They don't care about other people's condition, as long as they could fulfill their selfish desires, they will continue using us. That's what was inside my head before listening to what Nicholas told me. With a stuttering voice, I asked him, "Are you sure about that?" "Vanessa, this is an emergency. I also don't have time to look for other donors, but myself. Why would I find others if I could donate on my own?" He asked while looking at me. I was speechless. I don't know what to say, but b
Mr. Hudson stared at me a few more seconds after what I said. "What did you say?" He asked again while looking at me. I looked straight into his eyes and gave him a serious expression. "I said, I'm ready to accept your offer." The Mendozas were being too much of what they did to me, and my family. First, they made me look like a person who doesn't deserve the best of life. Second, they snatched my chances in every company I try to apply to. Third, this one. They tried to take away the life of my mother. What more could it take for me to do my step? Seeing Mr. Hudson made me realize that this would be my chance to get back at the Mendozas for all the things they did to me. I know I've been a mistress, the other woman of a billionaire guy, but why do they think as if I was the only person who got involved with William? As far as I could remember, he had an affair with other women before I had my affair with him. For sure, he tried to hide their relationship from Tessa. It was just me
"Ms. Vanessa, I'm sorry but your mother died," The nurse said as soon as I answer the call. Everything instantly went blank after what she said. I was currently holding my drink when I heard what she said. Even though I got enough energy already since I ate and had some fresh air outside the hospital, I instantly felt weak. I looked at Nicholas. He was staring at me, and I could see that he was telling me something, but I don't understand what it was. Tears suddenly fell from my eyes while still holding my phone. I put down the phone weakly and didn't say another word. Nicholas gave me a confused look because of that. "Vanessa, what is it? Why are you crying?" He asked while looking at me in worry. "M... My mother... She died..." I said while stuttering. Nicholas immediately pulled me closer to him and hugged me. My head was leaning unto his shoulder while he was touching my back. I know that I was crying, but I don't have the strength to speak. My eyes were continuously crying,
