CHASING MY EX-CONTRACT WIFE Chapter Forty
I took a deep breath and sat in front of the kids. They'd already finished breakfast and I'd informed them I wanted to tell them something.Aiden frowned. “Is this about what Avery said yesterday. I'm the one that told her to say that.”Brent glanced at me sharply and I shook my head. Since they were twins, I knew go expect the fact that they were always trying to cover up for each other.I nodded. “Yes. It's about yesterday and you two are not on trouble so there's no need to lie. Um, this is not really because of what you said but I should have told you before so you wouldn't have to have thought that way.”Brent tapped me so I knew I was rambling. The kids confused and worried expression didn't help either so I just blurted it out. “Brent is your daddy. A while ago, mummy and daddy stayed together but since mummy left, daddy did not know about you so I did not tell you.”And there was silence. I turned to Brent, my heart starting to beat even faster than it was. Why weren't they sa

BRENT'S POVI understood her fear of facing my parents, after all, a lot had gone wrong in the past and more could happen yet I was certain I wanted the kids at the office, if that would mean bringing some sort of nomalcy to our lives. I knew it was an opportunity for me to get to spend more time with her as well so it was more or less, a win win situation for me. The only obstacle was how to face my parents. As we played with the kids, all I could think of was how to break the news to my parents without creating more problems for Priscilla. The kids giggled happily as we played hide and seek and they kept finding me easily, because I let them. Priscilla was watching us with a distinct, content look in her eyes and somewhere in her body, I knew she felt relieved to have some help with the twins. “That was so much fun.” The twins said after I decided it was time to end the game. It was getting late and I needed them to sleep so I could spend more time with their mother. “Yes, I know

Priscilla's POVDespite Brent's constant reassurance that the kids will be safe with him, I just wasn't ready to take any risk with him or his parents but the kids seemed too excited about going to his work place and I can't refuse their request, not when he's present and I have no excuse to give for not letting them go. So after assuring me for the umpteenth time that the kids will be fine and arrangements will be made with his parents, I decided to give it a shot and let them go. “Thank you for letting me help you out, Priscilla. I know it's a bit hard for you right now and that's why you always have me, we're in this together.” He held my hands which was something he'd been doing a lot, especially today. My eyes darted to our intertwined hands, reminding me of the past but I quickly shrugged it off and focused on him. “The kids are yours as much as they're mine and I have every responsibility to cater for the as much as you do so don't wear yourself out trying to act the role of

BRENT'S POV After I left Priscilla's house, I had conflicting thoughts on how to reach my parents but while driving, I decided it would be better to just call them, that way I can't see their reaction or physical outburst so when I got home, I headed to my room and found my bath prepared already. I soaked myself in the water, reliving the events of today but my thoughts most welled on Priscilla and the kids. I was more excited than I'd have imagined about finally revealing my true identity to them and the fact that they were coming to my work place made my night better. After bathing, I put on a robe and dialled my father's phone number. The call rang for about a minute before he finally answered and when he did, he sounded like he was falling asleep already. “Good evening dad. Sorry to have woken you up so late.” I started off politely in order to ease whatever subtle tension might rise later. “Glad you know it's late and you shouldn't be calling at a time like this, what is it?

BRENT'S POV The happiness and excitement on his face was contagious that a smile spread on my face as well. I carried him up in arms and noticed Avery was not in the house and my brows furrowed in confusion. “Where's Avery?” I asked, looking around but as he started to speak, I caught a glimpse of her standing by the large portrait in my living room and staring at it so keenly. She stood there, lost from the rest of the world, staring at the piece of art work as though she wanted to know what the artist was thinking while making it. I smiled inwardly at her curiosity and for the first time since I got the portrait, it felt like it had actually done what it was meant to do. “Avery, darling, over here.” My voice startled her for the first few seconds but she came running towards me and pulled me, well maybe my legs into a hug. I laughed loudly, feeling like I'd won everything in life. I dropped Aiden and carried her in my hands instead while holding Aiden with my free hand. “Are yo

PRISCILLA’S POVI sighed for the umpteenth time after Brent's call. I wished I'd gone with the kids, that way it'll be easier for me to be in charge of their activities but now that Brent was in charge, he might get really soft and let them out of their routine. It's still early in the morning and I made a resolution to rest until I was fully recuperated. Before I released the kids to Brent, a part of me knew he was going to let them do something out of schedule so I'd braced my mind, waiting for his call and just as predicted, I got the call. The kids sounded really happy with him and I didn't want them to miss out on the experience of having a father for the rest of their childhood life, not when they already missed five years of being with him. I used the free period I got to clean the house and make some changes. Although I couldn't stop thinking about them all the time. My mind drifted back to work for a minute and I made a mental note to go over the recent designs once more b

BRENT’S POVThe kids requested that I give them a tour of the company and I did that, just that it was a bit hard moving around with the staff staring at them like we were on a show. “Maybe I should've given a memo about having my kids over today.”I whispered to myself after one of the cleaners almost poured water on Avery because she didn't expect a kid to be at the company. “Dad, this place is so huge. How did you build it?” Aiden, the ever curious one asked and I smiled. His question took me down the memory lane, how I used to do everything else except having interest in the family business until dad had to force me to get a marriage, a product of which was the children walking around me. “Well, to be honest, I didn't build all of these. Yes, I own it now and I work here everyday but I didn't start any of this.” I started explaining to him and his sister when we got to an empty conference room. “This company was built by my father and mother, your grandparents, they toiled to m

PRISCILLA’S POVIn my car, I thought of the things I'd say to Sylvester. I mean, it's been a while and I surely hadn't expected to run into him at a mall. I wanted to go home badly but I couldn't because my conscience won't stop hammering it to me that I owe him something for clearing my bills. I glanced around the road, in search of a Cafe that could do well for a lunch meeting and glanced at my phone to check the time. After a while of scanning the area, I finally found one and signaled to Sylvester to take the route I was taking. Five minutes after leaving the mall, we both stepped out of our cars with smiles on our faces. I took the time to scrutinize Sylvester facial features and just like always, he looked like he just stepped out of his closet. He held the door open for me as we walked into the restaurant and my eyes instantly went to a table in the corner of the restaurant. For some reason, I found myself considering what would happen if Brent or his friends found me with a

PAMELA’S POVMy fear and sense of security heightened after he asked that question. His eyes were roving all over me for answers which I couldn't provide for certain reasons. Slowly I watched as he went through the four stages of anger in a few seconds before flaring up. He jumped from his seat and wrapped his hand around my neck tightly, causing me to gasp and beg for air. “Are you cheating on me bitch?” He yelled angrily but I couldn't respond. Even if I want to, there's no way I could speak with his hands squeezing my guts together. A tear rolled out of my right eye as I tried to pull his hands off me but with every attempt, his hold became tighter. “Kent, p..please..” I tried to force the words out. “Answer the fucking question bitch. Have you been sleeping with another man behind me?” He yelled, his eyes were filled with so much hate and anger that I could see my funeral in my head. If I eventually survived this, I doubt I'd die anytime soon. I slapped my hands on his to fr

PRISCILLA’S POV After what felt like a year of fun and laughter, we were finally ready to leave the park. The twins were clearly tired as we both had to carry them in our arms to the car. Avery had fallen asleep on his shoulder while Aiden wrapped his hands around my neck. The park was closing so it made sense for us to leave. We got them strapped safely into the car and the car zoomed off to my house. Brent and I barely said a word to each other as he kept going back and forth with his assistant. Watching him work while holding tight to Avery’s hands, almost made me tear up. There's just something about the way he's trying so hard to be present in their lives and make them happy, that gets to me all the time. I couldn't believe I once thought he wouldn't care for them. “You know if you keep staring at me like that, I may be forced to do something you don't like.” He muttered loud enough for me to hear and I felt heat rush up my thighs. I took my gaze off him and focused on the

BRENT’S POVShe was still disgruntled about the sudden trip to the park but it was fun to see her let loose again as she dressed Aiden and Avery up. I had to go to their room with her because they insisted that they wanted to see us together, kids may be kids but mine are definitely smart kids. “Don't put that on Aiden.” She spoke through gritted teeth to Aiden who was planning to put on a puffy jacket. “But mum, I want to wear it. It's cool.” He whined and she almost snapped at him. “Yeah and it's hot outside. I don't want you ripping my ears apart due to how hot it is so drop it, honey, we'll find you something better and more suitable.” She explained after successfully dressing Avery up. She went to Aiden next while Avery came to me and tapped on my leg. I looked down at her with a smile before lifting her in my arms. “Do you want something sweetheart?” I asked, knowing that the face she was giving meant she wanted to make a request. “Can we go to that picture studio sometime

PAMELA'S POVI remained on the floor after Brent pushed me off and ran after that woman. I looked around in shame, grateful that this did not happen in a public space.That bitch! What the hell was she doing here at the wrong time?Just when I was so close to reaching his soft spot for me, she just had to come in and ruin everything with the bad luck that accompanied her everywhere. I contemplated on whether to stay and wait for Brent to realize what he's missing out on or leave to return later.I decided to do both so I waited and strolled around his office, patiently waiting for my man to return. As I looked across the office, something on his table caught my attention.It was a copy of his insurance statement and he had just three names on it asides his. The paper was poking out amongst the other files and while I resisted the urge to check out the content, I just couldn't control myself and eventually, I let the intrusive thoughts win.I pulled the piece of paper out and skimmed t

PRISCILLA’S POVBrent and I entered the kitchen and I gently locked the door behind us to avoid having any of the twins coming in after us. The air between us was thick with tension as we both waited with bated breath for the first person to break the deafening silence. I found myself staring at my feet as though they'd suddenly gotten interesting. Brent's eyes were boring holes into me that made me uncomfortable and squirmy. “I-” We both started simultaneously and our eyes locked in contact. I broke the stare by looking away and taking a deep breath. Thinking about it, I realized I was only being insensitive and petty to have tried to take the kids away from him. “Brent, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have tried to take the kids from you, I wasn't thinking properly and I let my anger cloud my sense of reasoning. I wasn't even thinking straight. I'm so sorry.” I apologized sincerely and his hands slowly reached across for mine. He held my face up to look at him and when I did, I saw that

BRENT’S POVI was fuming angrily as the car zoomed off from the school building, I couldn't believe she would try to pull such trick without listening to my side of the story. The events of today made me realize that if anything goes wrong between Priscilla and I, my kids would be the first people I'd lose and I didn't want that. I felt a gentle tap on my leg and finally glanced at Avery who had a crestfallen look on her face. “Daddy, what's going on?” She asked innocently and I became even angrier. How do I explain to this kid that this happened just because of their mother's insecurity? When I didn't respond on time, she tapped me again. “Where's Aiden?” “Are we going home?” She signed and I palmed my face in my hand. How do I deal with this mess? I was livid, not just at Priscilla but everything else. Today was meant to be a good day, today was meant to go well without hitches, now I only had to deal with hitches but bumps as well. “Yes, yes, we'll go get Aiden later. For no

Despite acting like she didn't care, Priscilla was fuming and raging inside, especially as the scene she walked in on in Brent's office wouldn't stop repaying in her head. Enraged was an understatement for what she felt, buttered was more like it. She wasn't expecting Brent to be loyal to her but seeing him with the same woman who broke their marriage the first time, hurt her. She'd gone to his office to give him a copy of the twins' itinerary since she thought it'll be good for them to spend more time together but she would never have expected what she saw. Priscilla's pov I had no idea why tears were stinging in my eyes as I walked out of the sensory door. Back in the elevator, it took me extreme self control to not yell and break down in his presence. I staggered to my car, making sure to act like I was fine but deep down, I wasn't. I was hurt, angry, enraged but there was nothing I could do about it and knowing that, hurt me more than the action itself. I went into my car and

After several days of planning and scheming, Pamela finally decided she was ready to go pay a visit to Brent at the company. She fussed all over her body and dressing as she made sure to expose her cleavage, thighs and applied excess makeup on her face. To her, Brent had always been attracted to her and this time, there's no doubt he'll fall for her flat. However, she chose the wrong time. BRENT’S POVIt took a while to get to the cake shop but when we did, I made sure to make a careful selection of what I'd be buying for the twins. “I'll take this one and that one.” I said, pointing at a red and brown cake. The lady attending to me had her face stuck in a pad but I didn't care, as long as she got my order out correctly. “Okay sir. I'll have them packed for you in a minute.” She said going behind the counter. “Wait, you're going to give me these already made cakes?” I asked in confusion and she nodded like I'd said something weird. “Yes, definitely. Is there a problem?” I could t

BRENT’S POV“Sir, your meeting with the president has been scheduled for this morning. Other plans on your appointment have been shifted to this after non, including the one with the executive board.” My assistant rolled out while I prepared for work in the morning. I took notes of everything to do but Priscilla's furious face won't stop appearing in my head. I know I made a mistake by not watching over the kids properly but she was overreacting and making it seem like she had to walk on eggshells around me whenever it comes to taking care of the kids. They're my kids as well and I should be given the opportunity to learn how to take care of them but how do I do that if she keeps monitoring and hovering around me like I'm some two years old who has no idea of his left hand to his right. I picked up my Rolex wristwatch from the catalogue and strapped it on. “Make the meeting with the president as brief as possible, I have more important things to do in the afternoon.” I said to my a
