Chapter 4 Challenges

• Sean Hudson, POV
• I am Sean Hudson, and I am 24. I am currently taking care of my company, SE & Sons, which I and my best friend Eric Johnson started from scratch five years ago, and today we are one of the leading companies in America with various branches all over the world.
• Apart from this, I am the CEO of Hudson Inc., and my father wants to retire as soon as possible. As the only heir, I must take responsibility.
• I am clever, arrogant, and manipulative. That is what people say about me, and somehow, it is true.
• I am a man of principles.
• I do not believe in a relationship, but one-night stands are welcome with no strings to attach.
• My family and friends are in my world. I am very protective of them.
• I was saddened by the sudden demise of Mr. Williams. I have known him all my life, and he was a fun-loving guy.
• His sudden demise broke my heart somewhere, too.
• But when I learned about the presence required while reading his will, surprise was an understatement .But I guess, as he is a 51% shareholder of Hudson Inc., he might want to clarify some things.
• We were waiting for the lawyer, and we heard a soft knock on the door. I looked up to see if the lawyer was here already. I just wanted to get rid of this as soon as possible, but to my dismay, a cute little figure was peeking inside. I guess she is the granddaughter of Mr. Williams. I was looking at her. She was wearing an oversize hoodie and black skin-tight denim. Her hair was tied in a loose bun, and her green eyes shone, looking lost among everyone.
• She went to her grandmother and sat with her. I looked down and started checking my schedule for the day.
• After some time, a lawyer came and gave us or else said to give me the most shocking news.
• Get married to a girl who is not over 16, as I remember Mr. Williams used to talk about her being in school.
• Now, why would he want me to get married to a kid and then to his granddaughter? My head started hurting thinking about this.
• She is nowhere near a woman. Looking at her body, I can tell that her melons are not even developed yet, and they want me to get married to her. Wow, just wow.
• They cannot blackmail me to get married to a kid just to save another 51%. I would rather let it go 100% and concentrate on my company than get married to her.
• I declared my answer to them and left.
• God, these people have gone mad.

• SARAH’S POV
• I got up and looked around the same place as yesterday.
• "Good morning, Mrs. Hudson," I wish myself as no one else does to me; I know how to cheer myself. That is what I have been doing all my life.
• I got up, went to the bathroom, did my business, and got ready for the day.
• I made coffee, opened the door towards the garden, and sat at the corner of my door, looking outside.
• It has been a routine for me to sit in the same place every day.
• I see every day people come all dressed up in their formals. ‘Does he have an office in the house or what?’
• Two girls are, let us not forget to mention, hot girls who are regular visitors. Who are they? Are they some associate's, or maybe his girlfriends or flings?
• Sometimes their dressing gives them nausea. I mean, who wears such clothes? It is too skimpy and revealing.
• Well, why would I care? I shrugged at that thought.
• But till now, I have never gotten a single glance at him.
• I took a sip and closed my eyes the moment the caffeine hit my tongue. I got to relax.
• I look ahead; this beautiful garden and pool view gives me peace of mind—at least something I like or can say is a little different from the hostel.
• I have never gone to the garden or pool. I just sit here. I know this is not my house. He clears the first day itself, and this is just a shelter for me.
• Closing my eyes, I thought, ‘I do not know where this life will take me now.’
• After finishing my coffee, I took my laptop to check my mail and finish some assignments.
• By the time I finished, it was lunchtime. No one has come to ask about my well-being, but why would they?
• No one cares about me. I huff at that thought.
• I do not see a single face apart from the cleaning staff, which comes twice a week to clean, and I am more than grateful. At least I do not have to do this all by myself.
• Sometimes Anna comes to check on me or, let us say, make fun of me in my situation. But well, I know how to keep such kinds of people at bay and not give them satisfaction.
• I was thinking about what to do next, and I heard the voice of Anna.
• "How are you doing today, Mrs. Hudson?" Oh, I so want to snatch this cunning smile from her face.
• I again look down at my phone. "I am doing good, Anna. How are you?"
• "I am doing very well, mam. Is there anything you need I can help with?" She asked me with the same smile plastered on her face.
• "I am fine; thanks for the concern," I replied, still looking at my phone.
• "Oh, do not thank me. It is my job, and as you do not need me, I shall take your leave." I nod in agreement.
• Before she leaves, I hear a piercing voice and look up to see a girl wearing an extremely short and tight dress. I look at her from top to bottom and think that if she takes a little of a deep breath, her boobs might come out, and if she bends a little bit, her ass will show up.
• But her boob size is weirdly big, or mine is way too small? Well, I hide them nicely, but still, I know the actual size, but again, how come her lips are so full? Mine is nice. I mean, I like them, but still, hers are too full.
• Oh, then I realized she is all plastic—her boobs, lips, ass, and high cheekbones. God, she must have spent a fortune to get those.
• However, her dress is just wow. I mean, you need a lot of courage to wear such a thing. I mentally patted her shoulder to pull off such a dress.
• "Aunt Anna, where is Sean? I have been looking for him.
• "Darling, he is home today." Anna looked at me, smirked, and again looked back at her and said, "I guess I was waiting for you. Why do not you look for him in his study?"
• That skimpy girl nodded and finally noticed me. She looked at me head to toe, gave me a weird look, and left from there.
• Like, really, what did I do to you, girl? Did I steal your cookies? I cannot understand this stupid attitude of people.
• "I should leave now. I need to see the preparation for them." She smirked and left.
• So, this girl must be his girlfriend. Well, I am not surprised, and I have no expectations of him. He can do whatever he likes. I am not the one to comment on it.
• Huffing, I got up to check the fridge to make something for myself.
• Well, yes, I know cooking, as I told you, and your hostel life has taught me many things.
• I made a mac & cheese and went to my room and turned on the TV.
• After I relished my yummy food, I again went back to my laptop and started my work. When I next checked, it was dinnertime.
• But because I was sitting the whole day, I was not hungry anymore, so I closed the laptop, took a glass of milk, and went to my room. Changing into my nightdress and sitting on my bed with my romantic book Yup, I love reading a romantic book.
• So, what if there is no romance in my life, but these books give me some happiness? At least not all the stories are like mine.
• After reading some chapters, my eyes finally started getting heavy. I turned off the light and fell asleep.
