CHASING MY EX-CONTRACT WIFE Chapter Twenty-Three
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

Did she just use those three words together in the same sentence? That made perfect sense and made no sense at all at the same time. “What kind of tapes?” I asked, eyes wide open, fearing the answer.Carlie shrugged, pain filling her face. “What kind of tape would I have that can be used as blackmail material. Sexual tapes that I hope would never see the light of the day. ”I let out a loud expletive. “Did you agree to it? Don’t you know how dangerous it is? How often… how many do you have?” I asked, struggling to contain my fury. The next time her boyfriend and I unfortunately crossed path, I was going to kill him.She grabbed my hands and shook her head in response to my question. “It was a foolish mistake. I should have listened to you when you were worrying about me rather than getting angry. I found out a month ago that he had secretly been taking pictures and videos of me. What do I do?”I hugged her. “We’ll figure it out. Has he sold any of them or tried to threaten you with th

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

PRISCILLA’S POVDid I lash out at him too much? Was I overreacting? Do I call him to apologize? I played with these thoughts as I tossed and turned around in my bed, unable to sleep. The image of the crestfallen look on my children's face reappeared in my head and I just couldn't get it out. I mean, it was just a bruise but I overreacted and ruined everything we had going on. “Ugh, Priscilla, such a nice way to ruin something beautiful.” I groaned and turned again. My thoughts won't let me fall asleep so I picked up my phone to scroll through the internet for a while and surprisingly, I found a text from Sylvester. I was hesitant to open it, considering how things went today but I had to take my mind off Brent so I opened the text. “Hi, Priscilla. It was really nice seeing your beautiful face today. I must say you look good, even better than before and it amazes me how you manage to maintain such beauty. Anyways, I'll be really happy if we can fix a quick day for our date. I have t

PAMELA’S POVUgh! This stinks as hell! I covered my nose as the stench of the abandoned house filled my nose and for the hundredth time, I cursed that bitch for taking my life away from me. Goodness! How did I end up here in the first place? I glanced around my environment and boy, was I irritated? That would be an understatement. There's so much to do yet the only thing I wanted was to lay in Brent's arms all day. I was contemplating leaving the house like this for a while until a big perched on my neck and buzzed in my ear, causing me to scream and fall over dome of the other dirty, nasty and smelly things. Uh uh, no, I can't leave it this way. I packed my luggage to a corner that was barely affected by the dirt in the house. After that, I proceeded to clean the house as much as I could. Everything was dirty and filled with the stench of loneliness and abandonment. The cushion had molds all over it while the center table and fan were covered in dust. I noticed a spider's web in

PRISCILLA’S POVOh God! I should've known! I found myself regretting it after listening to Aiden’s account of what happened at the park. Avery didn't say anything, probably because she felt bad for Brent but he still was the adult and should've remained in charge. I can't believe I let him take them out just once and he screwed up the entire thing. What if she had gotten into a bigger accident? What if she was being bullied? I pushed back the tears that threatened to spill because I couldn't let the kids see me crying. After applying first aid on her bruise, I ushered them upstairs but not without letting them say their goodbyes to Brent, because it would surely be a while before they get to go out with him like this again. He gave me an apologetic look after they left but that wasn't going to solve anything, in fact, it made things worse. The fact that he knew he should've been on his guards around them and failed to do so was just disappointing. I pulled him to the kitchen to pour
