Hudson noticed his mom’s sudden quietness. "You went quiet for a while; what happened, mom?" Hudson asked, raising an eyebrow.‘He is unto me; how am I going to break the news to him?’ Tricia thought. She found it difficult to tell Hudson what was going on in her head, but she knew she had to tell him sooner, unless Hudson might find out about it on his own, and that wouldn’t be a good look for her.She raised her head to look at Hudson. From the way she was staring at him, Hudson could sense that there was something important that she was hiding from him."Mom, talk to me, what is it? You look scared to talk," Hudson said, raising an eyebrow."Hudson, the thing is, I am engaged," she replied as she raised her left hand to show him the ring.Hudson's eyes and mouth opened wide in shock. "What!" He screamed. Tricia lowered her gaze; that was the exact reaction she was expecting from him."I know how it sounds, but I am engaged, honey," she mumbled under her breath.Hudson stood up swif
"Everybody head out!" Athens screamed in a rumbling tone. All the men started heading out of the palace.*********Athens and one of the men arrived in front of Hudson’s shop. They were on the other side of the street, in front of the shop. Athens used his hands to open the grass that was covering his eyes as he looked at the shop and saw that it was locked."Huh," he mumbled, raising a confused eyebrow as he closed the grass and turned to look at the men that were next to him."What is it, my lord?""The shop is closed," Athens responded softly. He was trying to figure out why the shop was closed, as he had no idea why it would be closed at this time of the day.‘I thought Hudson lived inside the shop? Even though he didn’t plan on selling today, the shop should at least be open. What does this mean? Or did he go out somewhere?’ Athens pondered.He concluded that since the shop was closed, that must mean that Hudson went somewhere. He turned to look at the guard next to him. "It is s
Tricia started to growl; she was not pleased with the question that Hudson asked or the way Hudson was acting towards Pete. "Does his age matter? Age is just a number," Tricia said with a piercing gaze at Hudson."Don’t worry, sweety, I will answer his question," Pete replied as he stretched his hand and held one of Tricia’s hands under the table."I am 28 years old," Pete said calmly, staring at Hudson.Hudson’s eyes and mouth opened wide. What is a 28-year-old man doing with my mom, and what does he want from her? Does he love my mom the way he claims he does? I don’t know if he is being genuine with my mom, but I am going to have to do a background check on him, Hudson thought."Come on, Hudson, you don’t have to look so shocked; I love your mom with all my heart; she is the only woman that has understood me on this type of level before, and I assure you that I am going to stick with her no matter what," Pete stated boldly.Even after all he said, Hudson was still not convinced abo
"It is going to cost you 10,000 dollars to get the information you want; let us know the name of the individual so we can proceed. After we are done gathering the information, I will send you the address of where you should meet me to get the results and also make payment for the job," the reply read.Hudson smiled. 10,000 dollars is a small price to pay to get the information for the man that is about to get married to my mom, Hudson thought. He replied to them with Pete’s full name and told them that they should proceed.***********Three days later, in the Magical world,Athens and the man who went to spy on Hudson’s shop with him were both sitting down in the bush in front of Hudson’s shop."My lord, we have been here for days, and the shop hasn’t been open; where do you think Hudson Atonal is?" The man sitting next to Athens asked calmly."I don’t know, but I am running out of patience. Take a look at the shop one last time and tell me what you see," Athens responded calmly. Athe
Athens and the guard arrived in front of the king’s throne. Alexander was on the throne, gazing at them."What’s the news you have for me?" Alexander asked, raising an eyebrow with his gaze fixed on Athens.Athens was having doubts about telling the king what was going on; he feared that the king might react harshly to the situation."Your majesty, during our operation to spy on Hudson Atonal, me and the guard that went to spy on his shop, the main one that he stays at, we didn’t find Hudson there; the shop was closed for up to three days, and we still didn’t see any sign of him. I also gathered reports from the other guards that are scattered across various Atonal franchises, and they also don’t know the whereabouts of Hudson," Athens explained."Hmmm," Alexander mumbled as he placed one hand under his chin. If Hudson didn’t show up to any of his other shops and wasn't in his main shop for three days, what does that mean? I know he is a magical student at the academy, but that doesn’
Hudson's eyes and mouth were wide open as he read through all the papers. "What the hell is all of this? This means that Pete is not who he says he is, and he doesn’t love my mom," Hudson mumbled.He was feeling a rush of anger pass through his veins. I can’t believe that guy has been deceiving my mom all this time; he just wants to take all the property that my mom has and run away. I knew there was something about it, and I am glad I did this research on him. I will have to show my mom everything and have her end the engagement; she can’t get married to that criminal, Hudson thought.Hudson quickly remembered that the private investigator told him that he sent more evidence to his mail. He rushed over to his desktop computer and opened his mail. Hudson saw the mail from the investigator as he started going through it. Hudson saw multiple photos of Pete in various countries, and judging from the look of the pictures, Hudson could tell that they were not something that anybody would w
"Oh, my word! I remember!" she screamed as she attempted to stand up from the bed. Mom, please lay down back; the doctor told me that you shouldn’t leave and that he would have to conduct a few tests once you woke up," Hudson said calmly. No, son, I have to go and confront Pete; I need answers from him!" Hudson could see that she was getting worked up. Mom, please, that is not important for now; your health is the most important thing now. Just lay back down while I go get the doctor; if he is done conducting his test, we will know whether he is going to discharge you or not," Hudson stated in a rumbling tone. Seeing that Hudson was getting angry and worried about her, Tricia laid back down. Okay, honey, go and get the doctor," Tricia replied. Tricia could still hardly believe the information that Hudson gave her last night, but she could clearly picture Pete with those other women. From her memory, she knew that she had to believe all of it and that Hudson would never lie to her.
