Lahat ng Kabanata ng Divorce? His Biggest Mistake: Kabanata 171 - Kabanata 180

~HUDSON~I was standing by the window watching as my guards escorted Maddison out. I called her here. I thought we could agree. I even had my lawyer draw up a contract for us where I would be present in the child's life as the father but not her husband, just like Ana suggested, but what did she do? Tear up the contract demanding that I divorce Ana and marry her. She didn't even care that Ana was pregnant too. She said her baby was the first child, and if I couldn't marry both of them, then I should leave Ana.Something was wrong with her, as not only was she breaching the contract but now threatening to go on that show with Mom. Yes, after Ana told me the call was important, I got on the phone, and that's when Juliette told me that my mom had announced she was going live on Sunday and that she had something important to share. I didn't need to guess as I knew she was going to expose me, so the next morning I came here with Ivy as she had to start school—I dropped

~HUDSON~The other one took over from Rowan and explained how they might have tampered with her fingerprints, “with one word that Maddison is not alone and whoever she's working for must be powerful.”“Of course, I… Are you sure Gabby isn't behind this?” I asked, as Gabby was my friend, but she was also part of the team when I worked for that politician, so she knew a lot, but for her to betray me like this? No, I doubted it as she had changed; she didn't want anything to do with that life anymore. None of us wanted it anymore; even Rowan and the rest were now just there working for me, and I didn't ask them to do things that were sinister like before.“We will check on Gabriella just to be sure.”“Yes, please do that, and if you find anything, let me know. For now, I have to confront Maddison.”“I don't think that's a good idea, Hudson.”“My family is protected, and we are ready, so I don't see why we should be afraid.”“We are not afraid; we just—”

~ANASTASIA~I watched my assistant walk toward the door but stopped her when she reached it by asking her to forward me a copy of the order of pieces that needed to be shipped outside the USA. Yes, we could now ship outside the USA; we had an account on social media, but I wouldn’t say it was doing well, but we just started, so there was time.“Right away, Mrs., anything else?”“Oh yes, push my meeting to three tomorrow; I have an emergency,” I told her, and she nodded, then after that excused herself.I had to see Vivi; I hadn’t seen her since I got back. She kept making excuses, but today I wasn’t taking that.The only reason I hadn’t barged in her room was because with how things got with Mrs. Frost, I knew she wouldn’t allow me at her home, but I was now done; I needed to see Vivi; I needed to make sure she was okay; if it meant breaking into the Frost mansion, then so be it.It’s been a month since I returned to Seattle as the whole competition thin

I felt betrayed; Hudson talking to his sister about our private matters was not right at all; it just didn't sit well with me, but I knew I was in front of the driver, and I knew with my reputation I couldn't lose it just anyhow, so I quickly reached for my belly, and gently caressing it, I asked the driver to take me home.This is the way I've been calming myself lately, by reminding myself that my son's health depended on me; stress was not good for him.I rested my head on the seat and took in steady breaths.Before I knew it, we were already parking. We still stayed at the apartment as the house was not yet done, so without waiting for the driver to open my door, I got out and headed straight in after telling him not to pick Ivy up today as she was going with Gianna since we were having dinner later.Inside, I walked straight to the kitchen and got a bottle of water. After pouring in a glass, I took it, and just then my phone started ringing, I didn't at first want to pick it up a

The drive to the mansion was silent, Matt, his guard drove us; now here is something that has been bothering me: Hudson never liked guards or drivers; he once said that himself, but it was until recently when he said Matt would be driving me to work since I went to work a little late. He always dropped Ivy off even when his company was the one you found first.I couldn't drop her off as I wasn't allowed to drive for now, but as soon as I'm in a state to drive, it will change.And about Matt, it was beginning to seem like he was more than my driver; for starters, he looked so dangerous, like if you were to meet him at a corner, you would literally run because not only did he have a bad odor, but his eyes were red—always red—which was a weird color for me.We have finally arrived. I haven't come here since I returned. Dad and Carmen visited me, but I never returned the favor. I've missed two Sunday lunches already.Matt opened the door for me, and I thanked him before
