Marriage for a Deal Chapter 29
ACEIA'S POV"H-Hudson," I stammered out the word. I felt very nervous at the visible expression on Hudson's face. His expression was harsh, and he was trying to hide his anger.Hudson's mouth opened slightly, his chest heaving as he slowly released what seemed to be a very heavy breath from his mouth and looked away from me.His jaw moved aggressively before looking back at me."Beatrice is..." He paused, struggling to get the sentences out."Beatrice is looking for you. But if you were busy, I'd just tell her." His voice was harsh, but his expression says that he's in pain. I don't know if I would believe that he's hurt or what, but when he took a step back before turning his back on us, I immediately stood up from where I was sitting."Hudson!" I called out his name, causing him to stop in his tracks, but he didn't look back."Let me explain; it's not what you think." My voice trembled, my knees were trembling violently beneath my skirt, and my heartbeat was so strong that it seemed

ACEIA'S POVIt was 1 a.m. in the morning when Hudson arrived. From the second floor of the house, I saw the arrival of his car. Yes! I have waited for him since he left. I can't sleep without the presence of my husband. I don't know why, but I just couldn't stand without talking to him. I was so worried! I felt a mixture of regret and fear running through him.I hurried downstairs to open the door. I knew Hudson had the key, but I wanted to meet him. I wanted to say sorry. I want us to get along.My heart pounded rapidly inside the rib cage as I descended the stairs.I ran to the door and opened it, and Hudson almost froze in his tracks when he saw me open the door.

ACEIA'S POV"Beatrice!" I called her name when I saw her waiting in the living room, and I sat facing her, one thigh on the couch, and placed the throw pillow on top of my thigh."Hudson is not here; he's in his office.""I came for you.""Why?" Beatrice pointed her index finger at my forehead and pushed my head."What nonsense did you do again?""Nonsense? I'm being too nice.""What did you do yesterday?" I winced slightly. I already knew what she was referring to."He told you?""He didn't mean to, but you know me, I wouldn't stop asking until you would not answer me honestly, so he told me. You hurt him, Ace.""Do you think he was hurt, or did I just step on his ego?""Both. Aceia, he tried to be a good husband. He hasn't even been able to look at another woman since you got married, so I hope you will appreciate it. Give the man a chance."I didn't say a word. I see Hudson's effort to make me feel comfortable in life. For our marriage to work."Do you love Aidan?""I don't know,"

Who was already married and has two children.I was surprised when I saw Clent at the family day. He rarely attended this kind of party, and I guess his parents forced him to since it was my request because I really missed him."Should we expect a child from you and Hudson, Aceia?" I looked at Crimson when I heard what she said. We are currently at the dining table, having lunch."Does it have a due date?" My cousin rolled her eyes at me. Crimson was sitting next to her child, and she was feeding him.My cousin's eldest son is five years old, a boy, and the youngest is one year old, a girl."Your cousin is right, Ace; should we expect?"

ACEIA'S POVAfter what happened earlier, I went home. I expected that Hudson was at home, but he wasn't there. Night came, but he never came home. I was restless. I call Knoxx and ask if he knows where Hudson is. He said he was at The Bar with Wilson and Clark, so I immediately went to that bar."Can you all go away? I am so fucking tired of you following me." I was hostile towards the bodyguards who were always tailing me. I was even more frustrated with what they did."Sorry, ma'am, we're just following what Mr. Christenson orders." I blew air out of my mouth violently and entered the bar.I looked around the dark club as I walked until I saw Wilson and Clark. There were three women at their table. Wilson secured his arms around a woman's waist. While Clark is just having a formal conversation with a girl—oh wait! It's Celine. Claire Carpio's bff.Where's Hudson? I walk toward their table.

Again, it was as if something was squeezing my heart. I was completely overwhelmed by extreme sadness. I fell asleep early. I could feel my eyelids swelling because I cried all night.The door of the walk-in closet opened, and Mother Carmelita came out with my small suitcase."You're awake, Senorita Aceia. What else are you bringing?" My brows crumpled, running my hands through my face."Why? What are you talking about?""Señor Hudson, tell me to fix your things. What else are you going to bring besides your clothes so I can put them here?""Why? Where are we going? Did he come home? What time did he come home?" I bombarded the old woman with questions."He went home this morning. He didn't say where you were going. He just told me to fix your things."Then the door opened. My heart seemed to do somersau

ACEIA'S POVHudson and I haven't seen each other for FIVE DAYS. Sometimes he calls me, but not too often. I was currently in the living room talking to Kathrina, Hudson's cousin. I remember how I was jealous of her when I didn't know that she was Hudson's cousin. The man told her to visit me at my parents house. It is strange that she did not know that Hudson went to Spain."Why didn't that man tell me that he's in Spain? And why didn't he take you with him? I heard his mom wants you to go to Spain." When she and Hudson got married, I didn't see his mother again, only his father.
