Her husband's wife His promise to her
Shortly after the conference ended, Richard led Bryant to his office. He took a seat and Richard sat opposite him. “Would you like coffee?”“No, thanks. How's Charlene? Is she okay? I'm planning to branch at the hospital but I have to be somewhere for something important.” “She's getting better.” “Losing a pregnancy must be a very big shock to her. I heard about what your mother did at the hospital, I berated her for the scene she created at the hospital and I already apologized to Kathleen on her behalf. You should make it up to Charlene, right now you're the only one that can comfort her.” Bryant said sagely.He nodded. “What about Mr knight? After what happened to Charlene, I'm ashamed to face him. I don't know what to say to him if I see him.”“Rowan is an easygoing person. He doesn't count it, and he promised to talk to Charlene on your behalf. What have you done about Henrietta? It's your life but you should have talked to your father when things are not working for you.” Brya
Her husband's wife Jealousy
“Charlene, don't you dare peek at my phone!” Charles yelled while chasing after her. Charlene didn't stop advancing toward the door, she grabbed the doorknob, twisted it, and yanked the door open. “Come get your phone if you can.” She winked at him and then dashed out of his room. Charles sighed with frustration. He walked after her. “You don't intrude on my privacy, Charlene. Give it back.” She started descending the stairs. “You won't tell me if I ask you anyway. I'll find out on my own.” She wagged his phone in the air. When she arrived in the living room, she halted at the sight of the person she saw. She was surprised to see him having a conversation with Mr. Knight.“Richard?” She flustered at him while moving closer to them. “Charlene, let me have my phone this instant!” Charles hollered imperatively while standing on the staircase.She didn't hear what Charles said as all her gaze was on Richard. The last time she checked, it had been two days since he went on a business
Her husband's wife He cheated with his ex-wife
“This for you sir.” The waitress placed a glass filled with champagne before Richard. He nodded, took the glass, and sipped slowly. She studied everyone around the table before walking away.Charlene fuddled with her purse on her lap, switching her gaze on everyone that was talking. Their conversation wasn't something she couldn't flow with, they were all talking about business and it left her hanging in the way. Jeremy was among the guests sitting around the table. Charlene felt invisible in their midst, she glanced around to see only Rowan, she scanned the hall, but she couldn't find Kathleen, she concluded that her mother couldn't make it to the party. She checked the time, it wasn't late, Charles was supposed to be enjoying his date with Veronica by now.She sighed softly. When everyone roared in laughter, she was the only one that didn't laugh. She put her purse on the table, leaned over, and moved her mouth to his ear. “I need to use the restroom.” She told him.Richard looked
Her husband's wife Her broken heart
The following day, he woke up to see Henrietta lying next to him. When he looked down at the floor, their clothes were all around the floor. He frowned up and hit her violently, waking her. “Henrietta!” He snapped.She woke up and rubbed the heel of her hand on her eyes. She sat up purposely and looked at him. “Um. Richard,” “Why are we on the same bed?” His recollection of the event was hazy. He was waiting impatiently for her to explain what happened between them to him, when she was taking too long he gripped her arm. “What happened last night? I told you to get out, didn't I?”She held his hand, trying to free herself but he didn't let go. She winced in pain. “You were the one that told me not to go.”“And…?” He arched his brow.“To cut it short, we made love.” When he heard the statement he felt the urge of throwing up, he covered his mouth with a hand and looked at her briskly. “We…we, what?” His eyes popped up in bewilderment.“Do you remember kissing me? Don't pretend as if
Her husband's wife Divorce
“I haven't seen Charlene since morning. Did she step out of that room at all?” Kathleen asked Flavia who was coming out of Charles' room. She nodded. “She's with Charles.” “Charles?” Kathleen furrowed her brows. She skipped a step close to the door and planted a soft knock on it before twisting the doorknob, as she peeked through she was surprised to see how far Charlene had changed in three days.The sound of the door prompted them to look over, Charlene beamed. “Good afternoon, mum.” “Oh. Honey, how are you today?” She asked, striding toward the bed.“Perfectly fine.” She replied and flashed her a bright smile.Kathleen had no idea of what was going on with her, last night she was moody and barely had her dinner. Right now she was fully dressed and her face wasn't pale anymore, she had a bright smile that lit up her face. It had been only three days, and Kathleen was curious to know what was going on. “So, what happened to you?”She frowned. “What do you mean?”“Charles, what did
Her husband's wife Divorce isn't allowed
“You're serious about the divorce, aren't you?” Richard interrupted the awkward silence in the room. He stared straight into her eyes, his own eyes were red as they were showing signs of anxiety. He thought she would change her mind but when he saw her signature on the divorce he was despondent.She nodded twice, not looking at him. “I told you I won't forgive you for what you did.”“But I already explained what happened to you. Do you think I'll sleep with her when I know you're coming?”“Who am I to blame? Henrietta or you for being a fool? Was it too hard for you to admit that you're still in love with your ex-wife? Why? She's the reason we lost our baby yet you still believed her. Do you still have the gut to sleep with her? How dare you, Richard! You have no idea of how much your sight disgusts me. Every time I look at you, it constantly reminds me of everything, the memory of you sleeping with Henrietta, it's too hard to forget. Right now, I'm done. You keep repeating the same t
Her husband's wife Her decision, her regret
A day turned into weeks Charlene left home against her parent's will, and since none of them supported her decision, they all wanted her to give their marriage a second chance which she was ready to let go. Charlene only informed her parents she was going on a vacation and that she needed some time to clear her head. Ever since she left home they hadn't heard from her, and Charles was unable to get in touch with her.On the other hand, Richard was bothered because it had been weeks since he heard from her. At first, he wanted to respect her decision to go on vacation, but right now he couldn't do it anymore. A day after his last conversation with Charlene, he signed the contract to change custody, Miguel was returned to Henrietta as the child had always been her excuse to get close to him, and now that she had him, Richard assumed she would never bother him again. Luciana and Richard weren't on good terms after the day at the party. Bryant wanted Luciana to apologize to Kathleen for
Her husband's wife Poor child
“I wonder how she's doing?” Richard soliloquized, waddling in his office as he gazed out through the glass. He walked up to his desk, picked up his phone, and stared at her picture on the wallpaper. It had been a year and seven months, eleven days already, yet she had returned and there was no news of her whereabouts.“Sir, the conference will begin in thirty minutes.” His secretary announced, standing by the entrance.“I thought I already told you to cancel all my morning schedules. The conference is also adjourned till tomorrow. I need to be somewhere else.” “But, sir…” She was interrupted by a phone, Richard glanced over to check the caller ID, it was Miguel's babysitter. Richard wondered why she was calling her by the time, moreover, he thought Henrietta might be trying to play another trick on him like she did last time, lying that Miguel was ill, he informed her to take him to the hospital and that he would meet them there, Henrietta didn't show up at the hospital because it wa

Her husband's wife Epilogue
As he had promised her, the whole family went on a vacation. It wasn't long before they all returned home, Richard had to return to the office likewise Daniella had to return to school. Richard still didn't support her decision to start working, even if she was going to work not while she was pregnant. He was afraid that something bad might happen to her or their child.Now that the whole family was complete, Luciana couldn't ask for more. Back then she thought Henrietta was the best woman for his son because she knew how madly he was in love with her. However, things had changed and she didn't realize that her son's heart was now beating for someone else. It took long enough before Richard finally gave his mother a second chance, he still didn't believe her that she had no hand in what Henrietta did at the party a few years ago.Rowan couldn't be mad at his daughter forever. Of course, Charlene was his favorite and he loved her so much. Everybody was delighted that the couple was to
Her husband's wife His wife
Despite the doctor assuring him his wife was going to be alright, Richard was still restless. When Daniella finally woke up, he felt a bit better but he was worried about Charlene and their unborn baby. She didn't tell him she was pregnant, he found out on his own. He saw the pregnancy test on her dressing table. All he wanted to hear from the doctor was ‘Your wife is fine and her baby.’ That was the only thing that would make him happy.That was unlike Luciana, telling the cops to make sure Henrietta should be put behind the bar for good. Henrietta survived the three bullets but for the rest of her life, she would never be balanced. They captured Ray alive as he surrendered immediately guns were pointing at him, and Tom died.“Dad, is mum going to be alright?” Daniella took his hand.He looked down, carrying her up in his arms. He flashed her a painful smile. “She'll be fine.” The first thing he would ever do was apologize to her for all the trouble she went through because of him. I
Her husband's wife There's no way out
Henrietta knew Richard would come to her house so she took them to a warehouse located far away from where he could ever suspect. Everything she demanded was given to her. Her name was evicted from the blacklist, and the huge sum of money she demanded was given to her. It had been two days already yet she didn't let them go.She still hasn't gotten enough of what she wanted. She thought if she let them go Richard would come after her for abducting his family and that could put an end to everything she ever worked for. When her phone rang, she thought the caller was Richard but it turned out to be Dolly. She didn't bother to pick up the call, she didn't attend her engagement party. She supposed Dolly must have known she had already put an end to everything they had in the past. Henrietta was looking at Charlene and her daughter from afar. Far at the edge, she was hugging Daniella like a bird trying to protect its egg from a crack. Suddenly, she leaped up. Ray crocked his gun, ready to
Her husband's wife Not even a scratch on them
“Nanny Harley, is my wife back?” Richard asked, on his way toward the staircase.“Not yet. She called me an hour ago to inform me she'll be the one to pick up Daniella from school. I presume she called you.”“Oh. I missed her call. There was an important teleconference going on so I couldn't answer the call.” He explained. “Okay.” Richard sauntered to the room, as he stepped in he brought his phone out of his trouser pocket. The maid took his briefcase to its spot and then left the room. He thought of calling her but he decided to freshen up first. He unbuttoned his shirt on his way heading to the bathroom.Shortly after, he ambled out of the bathroom, looking fresh. He sidled across the room to the walk-in closet and got dressed. Wearing casual outfits since he had somewhere he was supposed to be in the next hour. He walked up to the bed, picked up his phone, and tried to call Charlene. Her phone was off. That was odd; he thought. He called again and again, yet he couldn't reach he
Her husband's wife Abduction
She clutched onto his arms with her head lying on his bare chest, sleeping soundlessly. He had woken up but he didn't want to disturb her peaceful sleep. She slept late last night so he wanted her to get enough rest.She adjusted her body close to his and tightened her arm around his body like she was preventing him from getting out of bed. He chortled softly. “Love, are you awake?” He brushed her hair using his fingers. When she murmured, Richard hardly heard what she said underneath. “I need to get to work early today.”“Don't go yet. I want to sleep more. You should at least pay for keeping me awake all night.” With that, she adjusted, glanced over, and winked at him seductively.“I guess you're not going out today.”“Of course, I'm going to visit Veronica. She got discharged two days ago and I haven't seen my niece in two days. I miss her, I hate the fact that she resembles that idiot.”“Are you not happy that his baby takes after him?”“It would have been better if she took afte
Her husband's wife Home sweet home
Richard had checked every room, looking for her. Daniella wasn't at home as Luciana ordered her driver to come to pick her up since yesterday, she hadn't returned home. Charlene was really happy about it because it was hard to have Richard all to herself whenever she was around. She was very attached to her father and wouldn't let him have Charlene's time. While walking around, he could hear some movement in the kitchen so he decided to check. He had something he wanted to tell her, in the next thirty minutes his driver would come over to drive him back to the mansion and he hadn't informed Charlene yet. He sauntered casually to the kitchen. He caught her sitting on a stool while she was eating, but something around her finger attracted his attention. “You're wearing the ring.” He said when he noticed the wedding ring on her finger. He was standing by the door, looking steadily at her. Charlene halted the knife close to the salmon steak, she moved the fork to her mouth and ate the
Her husband's wife Fighting against the odds
“Sarah, are you done with your photography?” It was her fifth time asking her the same question. It had gotten to a point that she wanted to interrupt the whole process but she dared not. It hadn't been up to a month she got hired, even if the industry wasn't well-known by people, at least their payment was enough to keep her on her stead till she finally found an alternative.“Just a minute. They said those pictures they took earlier aren't enough.” Sarah managed to answer while posing for a new shot.Henrietta rolled her eyes. She held the coat jacket tightly, deep down she wished she could crush her at the moment after she managed to catch a glimpse of a mischievous grin across her lips. She shut her eyes briefly to subside the yen, then she spoke up. “The manager wants to speak to us urgently. Make it snappy.” “Alright. Goodness, stop wrecking my jacket. Do you have any idea how much it cost?”“Isn't it fake, bitch? I bet you can't even afford the original product.”She raised he
Her husband's wife You've caught a cold
“Mom, wake up.” Daniella tapped Charlene gently on her arm. She noticed she wasn't responding to her call so she moved closer and tapped her again. “You've got to wake up.” Slowly Charlene yawned. Sitting up, she rubbed the heels of her hands on her eyes. “What's the matter?”“What's wrong with dad?” Charlene was muddled. She stared back at Daniella with the same confused expression she had on her face. “What happened to your dad?” Panicked, she looked eagerly at her. “He said he'll be right back. But when I touched him his temperature was low and he was shivering . Isn't that what you called fever?”Charlene looked at her left side to check the radio clock on the drawer. It was five o'clock in the morning. She drew the blanket over before putting her feet on the cold floor. “You should have woken me up when you noticed that. Where is he right now?”“I don't know. He left the room and he hasn't returned.”“Stay here.” She rose. She slid into her scuffs before standing. Daniella sh
Her husband's wife One more try II
A week had already passed without talking to him, even if he came over to her place she knew it was all because of their daughter. ‘Wait here. I'll get her.’ That had always been the same statement she kept saying to him.There was no way she could run away from it anymore. However, she felt ashamed to face him. Apparently she wasn't mad at him for what happened as Charles had confessed to her that Richard never intended to attend the wedding ceremony, he was the one who convinced him to come over. There was no reason to blame anyone for it. In fact they saved her from a loveless marriage. Charlene shuffled out of the bathroom in a towel. She was heading to the closet when she noticed that her window was open and the breeze made the curtains make some weird sound. She walked over to the window, closed it and turned around. “Danny, were you the one that left the window open?” Charlene asked as she looked around the room. She thought she might be hiding somewhere. “Danny,” She called
