Marriage for a Deal Chapter 43
ACEIA'S POVI was silently sitting on the dining table eating lunch when Marthina sat down in the chair in front of me. Hudson's grandmother was in the living room, reading a magazine. I had my lunch late because I woke up past lunch."Hudson is mine," Marthina said with anger and jealousy in her voice. "He will never be yours."I knew it. This woman still hopes that she and Hudson will get back together. Well, sorry, darling, I won't let you.You may be dying, but that won't make me give Hudson to you.I looked at her and spoke boredly. "I'll just remind you that Hudson and I are married. So if you intend to get him, then good luck to you."Marthina smirked. "It was an arranged marriage. It only shows that Hudson doesn't really love you, and he only married you because he needed something from you. I came here because of Hudson, and I will have him soon."Pain sipped through my heart, but I did not show it. I didn't want this woman to see me hurt by what she said. I would not give Ma

ACEIA'S POVWhile I was sitting and sipping coffee with a little cream, I was talking on the cell phone with Beatrice. After what happened, I called Beatrice to talk to her about what I was feeling.

I need to fight for him."You know what?

ACEIA'S POVAfter the second day of the convention, I immediately returned to the cabin where I was staying. The convention was held on a beach in Isla Plaza, and each of the attendees had a cabin that served as a sleeping place.Beatrice was nowhere to be found; maybe she was having fun with someone, so I didn't waste my time trying to find her.As I walked back to my cabin, my fingers tapped quickly as I sent it to Beatrice, letting her know that I was just in my cabin.After that, I immediately entered my cabin and dressed in short shorts and a halter shirt, then simple black slippers.I was still busy putting on makeup when someone knocked on the door."Wait a minute!" I shouted from inside the cabin.Maybe it's one of the island staff who will clean the cabin. I left my makeup on the bed and opened the door.My body went rigid when I saw who was outside the door. It's not one of the staff on the island. It was Hudson, and he looked irritated."You left without telling me?" Hudson

"Yes. I really wanted to have a baby with you. I realized that when the first time Phoenix called me mommy," my chest tightened. "We've had it three times, but I still can't feel that I'm pregnant." I turned to Hudson, who was looking at me. "Are you sure you're not infertile?"The man's eyebrows met. "Me? Are you saying that I'm barren? Aceia, I'm a healthy male. I'm not barren!" He sounded horrified."Don't yell at me!" I rolled my eyes at him. "It's annoying. Why haven't I gotten pregnant yet?"I was startled when Hudson put his hand inside my clothes and rubbed my belly. "Take a pregnancy test to be sure. Because I'm sure I'm not sick."I frowned. "I was fertile when something happened to us." My snout grew longer. "Hudson, well, are you sure you're not infertile?""I'm sure." He suddenly was on top of me and planted a kiss on my lips. "I'm not barren, Aceia. Why are you even asking me that kind of question? Well, you, aren't you barren?"She glared at him. "I'm not barren. Asshol

ACEIA'S POVI was happy when me and Hudson got out of his car. We just returned to Spain from Isla Plaza. We both had smiles on our faces as we walked, holding each other's hands, towards Vasco's mansion.I know that I should return to New York because of my business. Beatrice told me that she's going to Germany because of her fashion runway. Even though I don't want to go back to New York, I don't have a choice, so basically, I only have two days to stay in Spain before I go back to New York.Instead of three days, me and Hudson spent a week at Isla Plaza. We hardly left the cabin that we occupied because we would rather cuddle than go outside. We made love all day and all night. We only stopped when we were sleeping, resting, and eating. It was the best week of my entire life.But my smile immediately disappeared when Marthina opened the door.Bad vibes immediately welcomed me. I wanted to slap the woman when she looked and smiled at Hudson.We shouldn't go back here because I know

ACEIA'S POVI turned to Hudson as he hugged me around the waist and pulled me closer."Don't walk away from me, my love," Hudson whispered in a sleepy voice.I secretly smiled at what he said. "I don't want to go away, but it's time for dinner, Hudson. We're going to eat. Wake up now."Hudson grunted. "Let's stay in bed, please. One more round and I'll be good."I pinched the young man's arm. "No. It's dinner; we need to eat."After Hudson's meeting, he went back home, and I was happy when he woke me up by touching me. We eventually ended up making love until we were tired.Hudson opened his sleepy eyes. "I'm sleepy.""Hudson, I'm hungry," I said with emphasis, then I got up first. "Get up, Hudson," I said as I walked to the bathroom. "It's dinner time."When I entered the bathroom, I immediately took a warm shower. After finishing, I immediately came out with only a towel covering my body."My love, you're turning me on again," said Hudson, who walked closer to me, then hugged me aro

ACEIA'S POVWhen I arrived in New York, I immediately went to our house."Welcome home," Beatrice said when she saw me entering the house.When we were away, Beatrice was living at our house because I told her to take care of my cats."I thought you were leaving," I said when I saw her wearing casual clothes, like she was not in a hurry."Yes, I am, but I didn't know that you'd arrive earlier than I expected, so I rescheduled it to be tomorrow."I rolled my eyes and didn't talk anymore. "I'll be in my room, sleeping."Beatrice didn't talk and just continued sipping her coffee.I fell down on the soft bed and took out my cellphone from the pouch I was carrying.I texted Hudson.'I'm home. How's the company? Stay safe.'When I sent the message, I waited a few minutes for Hudson's reply, but nothing came. Because of my tiredness, I didn't know I fell asleep waiting for his reply.When I woke up the next day, the first thing I looked at was my cellphone, but there was still no reply from

ACEIA'S POVI felt so numb. I can't feel anything other than my heart being torn into pieces.I already expected that I would be hurt because of Hudson, because I know what is happening right now is complicated, but I never thought that I would be in this kind of pain. My chest was tightening as if it were being stepped on and pierced with thousands of needles."Ace! Ace!"I turned away when I heard my name being called.When I saw that it was Aidan, I tried to smile but failed. "Hey, what are you doing here?"I didn't expect to see Aidan at that moment, but he became my client when he needed clothes for the events he was part of. I remember that we had a meeting; that's why he was here.Aidan immediately grabbed me by both shoulders as he approached me. "Are you okay? What happened?" Aidan asked me with worry in his face. "Talk to me, Aceia.""I think... I'm in pain," I whispered, then looked into the young man's eyes. "It seems like something is breaking my heart while I'm talking n
