CHASING MY EX-CONTRACT WIFE Chapter Twenty-Two
“Mama, where’s Brent?” Avery said to me and I sighed. Brent had insisted they call him with his name even though I’d pointed how disrespectful it was, and I always got annoyed when they used his name.“We’ll find him. We need to get our baggage first.” I signed back and we headed towards baggage claim. Even though it was a three days trip that had been cut short by one day, I’d still had to take a box as my carry on wasn’t enough for three individuals. Weary from work and the thought that I would be on a plane back to California the next day, I needed my bed desperately, but that had to wait.Brent had texted that he wanted to pick us up from the airport as he’d missed the kids and having no sufficient excuse to say no, I’d agreed.“Hey.” Brent called, waving his hands, and the twins ran to him. Our box was already with him, which I was super grateful for.I walked slowly, the weariness almost enveloping me, and heard the last of Aiden’t recap of how much fun he’d had. “Really?” He a

PRISCILLA’S POVI rubbed my shaking hands on my thigh as the models were being made up and dressed. It was finally D-Day, and all the nerves I’d been feeling prior to this day had multiplied. I looked around for Carlie, surprised when she was nowhere to be found. The backstage was milling with models and designers screaming orders and last minute fixings.I saw my team and went to them. “Is everything ready?” I asked the stylists.One of the ladies who was working on a model turned to me. “What do we do? She has gained weight since our last fitting, so the cloth looks odd on her.” she complained, eyeing the dress that did look too small for her frame.I turned to the model who looked no older than seventeen years, who was sobbing and held back the anger that was burning in me. “What happened?” I asked her.“I’m so sorry.” She turned to an older woman who was probably her agent since the show had a rule on minors not appearing alone, who was looking disgusted and the woman, noticing my

PRISCILLA'S POVMy eyes were wide with shock and the tears that slowly poured out of it blurred my vision. What made it worse was the immense amount of embarrassment I felt as soon as I saw that Brent had appeared on stage, holding the microphone tightly in his hands.His eyes darted towards me momentarily before he tore them away and turned back to look at the judges."Look, there's been a mistake." He said over the microphone."I'm sorry sir, but I'm not sure you're meant to be here right now. I'll kindly advise that you leave the stage immediately or I will call security." The host, with her close-to-AI high pitched voice, threatened.All the while, as I stood there watching everything unfold before my eyes, I felt my heart sink deeper in my stomach and there was nothing I would have loved more than the earth opening up and swallowing me wholeMy gosh! Why is this happening now? This was so terrible and embarrassing. I didn't think I had ever faced this sort of embarrassment in my

PRISCILLA POVAs I walked out from the back dressing room, I was congratulated by a model who passed by.Her face was shining and a smile was plastered on her face as she engulfed me in a warm hug, "you did great out that." I smiled at her in response, "thank you very much." I said to her,"You're welcome." She replied and walked off backstage.I sighed and walked out of the hall, I shivered and goosebumps filled my skin in reaction to the cold air that was biting my skin as it whooshed passed me.I wrapped my arms around my upper part to try to keep the cold away. I was holding my bouquet in one hand and holding my trophy in the other as I walked to my car which was parked out front.I got to my car and wrapped my hand around the door's handle and moved to pull it open but another hand appeared from the side and closed it shut.My brows drew together in anger and as soon as my head came up, I had thought up some nasty things to say to the blockhead that saw it fit to prevent me from

BRENT POVI pushed open the door and walked in, I was met with my sister's worried face. She ran to the door as soon as I walked in,"Did you get it?" She asked me.I stretched my hand and gave her the paper bag I had packed her clothes in.She took it from me, clutched it to her chest and mouthed, "thank you.""Do you want to eat something?" She asked me,Why was she suddenly acting very nice towards me? She didn't seem to care earlier when I stepped out."No, I'm full." I replied to her.I looked behind her to the couch to see some of the kids play things, scattered all over the table, I returned my gaze to her, with one eyebrow arched high on my face as I gave her a questioning gaze, "and the kids?" I asked her.She turned back to look at the mess that was created on the table, "oh, they're fine. And they're gone already. A maid came by from their mom and took them home to her. You can call her to be sure of their arrival." She said,"Alright." I said and walked past her into the

PRISCILLA'S POVThe elevator dinged, and I followed Brent down the hallway to his home, or should I say my former home? We'd had dinner and I wanted to pick the kids up from his place since they were with Salome. After the time Brent had kept them with her while he flew to California to help me, they'd been asking to stay with her again and so, I'd set it up when Brent offered to take me to dinner to celebrate something he still hadn’t told me.I entered the house and looked around, masking my emotions. It looked the same I'd left it. Looking at every painting and decoration was bringing memories I'd love to forget back to memory. I had decorated this house with Brent back when we realized we had fallen in love with each other.“What do you think? Doesn't the house look too empty for your taste?” Brent asked, caressing my hair.I nodded. “I thought you preferred things like this, since you weren't home often.” I looked into his eyes and smiled at the look of love I'd been unaware of t

I remained rooted until I heard the footstep of someone approaching me. I shook my head again to get rid of the webs in my head and continued towards the living room with the intention of taking my kids and leaving. Suddenly, it didn’t sound safe for them to stay with Salome. “Mummy.” The twins called when they saw me, and they both ran to hug me. I bent down and held them tighter, allowing all my worries to fade at that moment. I looked up and smiled at them. “How was your day?” I asked and after about ten minutes of them describing how it had gone, using the word ‘Fun’ and ‘Amazing’ in almost all their sentences, they finally left to sit down and continue what they were doing. I stared at them, curious at what they were doing, and I smiled when I saw that they were both struggling with a rubix cube. I turned to Brent, who was giving me an amused look, and he shrugged playfully and patted the seat next to him. I shook my head and took the love seat that was next to him. “I thi

PRISCILLA'S POVI sighed and looked across my office to where Carlie was meant to be seated. since I'd entered the office that morning, the atmosphere had been tense, which meant what she'd done had been the topic of discussion before I arrived. Since Carlie was no longer trustworthy enough to leave the company to, I had to travel here even more now.Someone knocked on my door and I quickly sat up, no point in giving my employees even more to talk about. it hadn't been a secret that we were very close. "Come in."The door opened, and my new secretary brought in a file. "I compiled the list of all the people that have offered interest in working with us and partnering with us after the show."I collected the file and looked through it. "Why wasn't it sectioned? These contain agencies, celebrities as well as prospective partners. How am I meant to sort them all if they aren't sorted?" I asked her, intentionally making my voice softer. I'd yelled at two of my employees since the day had

BRENT’S POVThe minute she bolted for the guest bathroom, I knew I'd caught her red handed. She didn't seem to have suspected that I was aware but I was well informed about all of her plans. It took a while for me to accept that she could do such but I wasn't going to let my woman get hurt due to my assistant's psychotic behavior. “I need everything ready.” I said to the intercom before leaving the room. I headed to my security room to watch the spy camera installed in my room. Seeing how frantic she'd been while trying to get rid of the camera she installed in my room, I guessed that would keep her hooked for the time being while I got the rest of her punishment prepared. I was yet to decide what I would do to her but torture was definitely top on my list. No one messes with me and gets away with it. She rushed back into my room and started calling out for me. When she saw that I wasn't in, she proceeded to start viciously attacking the camera like I'd predicted. My hands clen

EVELYN’S POV “This is the last time I'll be saying it. You either take her or kill her. I don't care what you have to do, take her or kill her.” I instructed my men before leaving home. Something told me to do this, just in case things try to go out of proportion. “What are we to do when we take her, ma’am?” One of the men asked. “What else? Kill her, of course. Do you think I care if she lives? The goal is to have her dead and out of my way, so you'd better do your job well.” I said and dismissed them. “Where are you going in such a frenzy? Are you okay?” Ruby asked as I threw on some clothes. My heart was in pure panic but I couldn't let that reflect on my face. “I had to be at Brent's. There's something I can't let him find.” I responded, grabbing my car keys. I sped out of the house in my car with my hands trembling on the steering wheels. “You've got this, Eve. You've got it.” I muttered to myself. The minute I pulled up to Brent's house, I rushed in without parking p

PRISCILLA’S POVNo! No! No! This can't be! No!” I exclaimed in shock whilst staring at the pictures on my phone. When I opened the message at first, I thought it was a random mistake from a stranger but I found the video and my heart crumbled. Tears were already gushing out of my eyes while I held my hand over my mouth to prevent my cries from making it out. His face had pleasure all over it as she bounced on his throbbing member. “How could he do this to me?” I thought, still in shock. I recalled it to have happened on the night of Evelyn's party, which means he saw her at the party and hid it from me. More tears rushed out of my eyes as I skimmed through the pictures of the pregnancy test kits. It had blue lines, meaning she was pregnant with his baby. “How could you do this to me?” I cried silently and broke down to the floor. My body shook violently with tears. My vision was clouded by the tears rushing out of my eyes but I couldn't stop myself from staring at the pictures

PAMELA’S POVAfter the call with Brent, I felt heat rising up in every part of my body despite the air conditioning in the room. I paced around the room as worry and fear filled up my chest. I tried severally to reach Evelyn but her phone was surprisingly off. “Oh goodness, don't tell me I'm in this mess alone. What should I do?” I groaned loudly. I sat on the bed with my head in my hand while tears hung at the brim of my eyes. His words echoed in my head again and each time, it gave me the thought that he had found out the truth. “I can't lose like this.” I muttered knowing I was either alone at this point or dead if Brent found me. I rushed to my door and locked it tight, in fear that one of Brent's men could burst in through the door and kill me. “Calm down, Pamela. You have to think this through.” I whispered to myself again. I was losing my mind so everything felt strange to me, like I was in the middle of a burning maze with no escape route. I tried calling Evelyn again

PRISCILLA’S POVThat was strange.” I muttered and returned to working but I couldn't get the thoughts off my mind. His words felt like a soothing balm over my wounds, I smiled a little, letting myself fall for him all over again. “What's making you smile so hard?” Claire's voice appeared from the kitchen. I turned and found her smiling as well. Her hair was ruffled and she had eye bags heavy enough to hold water. She clearly eiffored a boatload of jet lag.Claire gave me a surprise yesterday by coming into New York without informing me. I had no idea that all these while she'd been claiming to be busy, she was putting things in place for her arrival in New York. “Is it who I think it is?” She asked with a bigger teasing smile. “Girl, please, I'm just trying to cook.” I refuted, despite smiling hard. “The smile on your face is saying an entirely different thing. Did he make you smile again? Or are you just obsessed with thinking about him?” She asked and I laughed. “It's either

BRENT’S POVI got terrible news from my private investigator and I've been struggling to accept it. I woke up with a heart as heavy as gym equipment. I struggled to believe that someone I'd trusted with my entire life would stab me in the back in such a dangerous manner. The morning was dark and gloomy for me because I just couldn't bring myself to accept the truth. “Are you sure about your research? Will you take some more time to confirm it?” I said. I wanted to avoid the truth by all means if it was inevitable. “No, sir. I've been trailing this person for a while now, I'm very certain it's the truth. There's actually a lot more to be uncovered but this is just to give you basic knowledge of what has been happening right under your nose.” He'd responded. How? Why? When? Several questions bugged my mind at the same time but there was none I could provide answers to. I picked my phone to call Priscilla and reveal the truth to her. I wanted to tell her about Pamela's pregnancy be

EVELYN’S POVAh! You must be wondering why I finally got to show my point of view. It might be a little late to explain how much I matter in the equation of things here but I'll try as much to make a recap. First, from killing Jack. That bastard always tried to make himself seem smarter than he really was. He was constantly trying to prove his intelligence and tried to make himself superior over the course of our partnership but he wasn't as smart or sleek as he thought. I'd always known that he was bound to betray me or at least try to. It was obvious when he started making more attempts to reach me and get in on one of my plans with Pamela. One night, he offered to pay me to get him Priscilla but that was not part of our agreement and ever since then, I've never missed the glint of hatred in his eyes whenever he looked at me. I saw the raw, brazen desire to get rid of me and I figured he couldn't take me out personally so he was bound to pull something stupid. I'd cloned Pamel
CHASING MY EX-CONTRACT WIFE Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Seven
PAMELA’S POVI won't lie, since this whole pregnancy thing started, I'd never felt as terrified as I was when Brent threatened to make me disappear without trace. Heck, I knew what he was capable of and if he was still hesitating to get my ass picked up and thrown away, it meant that I had some influence over him. Or Evelyn did. Anyways, I took the easy way out by saying something dramatic before ending the call. I immediately called Evelyn. “I think Brent is getting suspicious of my words. He threatened to have me killed just now.” I let out to her with a sense of fear hanging over my head. My heart was beating so fast and I could almost hear myself breathing. “First, you need to stay calm and stop fretting. He doesn't suspect, he's either crashing out or trying to bait you and make you confess. You need to stand your ground. I'll suggest to him tomorrow to get a test done, then you can put your mind to rest after that.” She assured me with a soothing voice. “I guess that coul
