Her husband's wife Forgiveness
After the lecture was over almost all the students had left the lecture theatre, Charlene hadn't budged from where she was sitting. Perhaps she didn't notice Fiona and Javier were waiting for her as she was the one that was holding them back from leaving. She rubbed her eyes with the heel of her hands while trying to get a clear vision of the paper she placed on the table. Fiona was beside her, staring at what she was squiggling on the paper. Javier rose from his seat, he stepped down then stopped beside her. “I have to go, we'll catch up tomorrow. So next week we'll begin to work on the project.” It sounded more like a question however he didn't expect an answer from her. Instantly she squiggled the last word she put down the pen and gazed up at his face. She beamed. “Very well. Take care of yourself.” He nodded. “Um.” He glanced at Fiona beside her, without any gesture or any reaction he began to walk toward the exit. Charlene focused on him until he was out of the hall. She was
Her husband's wife Interrupted by a call
She had tried not to think about what Kathleen said but it was futile, no matter how many times she shrugged off it always flashed across her mind. Suddenly she hit her forehead, grumbling with frustration. She glanced around the living room to see the maid who brought a glass of juice standing quietly beside her. Charlene lifted a puzzle brow. “What's the matter?” She didn't understand why she hadn't left.“I thought you might need something else. Should I prepare a bathtub for your bath or you want me to assist you with something else?” The maid noticed something, however she couldn't ask her. She was only a mere maid, if it was Richard she dare not trespass. They all feared him because of his temper. Charlene scanned her from the toes to the head then shook her head. “No, I don't need anything. You may leave.” She switched her gaze on the magazine she was holding.“Okay, ma'am.” She said, turned around and left.Charlene lifted her head, looking at her as she was leaving. She roll
Her husband's wife A reason to love her
He sighted her car parked opposite the mansion, she was standing by the car, looking at him grimly. As if he cared, he sauntered casually toward her with his hands stuffed in his trousers pockets. “You never learned to be fast, right? You kept me waiting out here.” She seethed, glaring at him scornfully.“Like hell did I invite you here? What the hell do you want? How many times have I told you to stop calling me?’She rolled her eyes insolently. “You know what to do if you're tired of me. I'm here to see my son and your gatekeepers won't let me in.” “Then deal with it. I don't want you near my son and if you dare to be smart, Henrietta, don't make me do what I'd regret later.”“Perhaps are you planning to get rid of me? Richard, I'm your baby's mother.” She coaxed.“A warning!” He was obviously exasperated by her response. He snapped at her, she flinched back.She gasped, never expecting that from him though, however she knew he wouldn't welcome her. His cheerful countenance was rep
Her husband's wife New changes
She insisted on coming with her to his residence, they had tried to reach him through phone call but to no avail. There was no one Charlene could call, Javier was the only child, if at all he had a sibling she would have called to ask about him. The car halted opposite the mansion, Charlene got her phone from her handbag. “Are we at his residence already?” Fiona was wondering but the ride duration from the campus to the mansion was five minutes, he didn't live far from the campus unlike Charlene. “Yes, let's go.” They alighted from the car. James was going to wait, driving Fiona to her workplace before driving Charlene home. They crossed to the opposite side, Charlene walked ahead leaving her behind, she pressed a button on the wall. “Who's there?” A lady's face popped on the screen. Before Charlene could reply she had called her name. “Mrs Sullivan.” The gate unlocked automatically, they trudged inside. It was hush, his parents hired only two maids. “Do you think he's home?” “I
Her husband's wife Her name
Saturday was supposed to be a fun day, sleeping all day could be quite exhausting, shopping like there was no tomorrow wasn't that exhilarating anymore–going out for fun; visiting a friend, Charlene couldn't think of anything fun than going out. She was awfully tired of sitting at home, studying, online shopping, lost in reverie and soliloquizing. Those weren't fun to her anymore.She wasn't the type that had many friends, lately she considered Fiona as her friend. The only person that flashed across her mind the moment she concluded to go out, her name rang in her head like a lullaby, Fiona. Instantly she took her phone on the king size and curled up with a book in her hand. She had been lingering in the same position while roaming her eyes in the room. Her phone bleeped, she leaned forward, uncurled to reach for her phone, she took it and read Fiona's reply. She texted her that they should rendezvous at a five star restaurant. She received an instantaneous response from Fiona. Char
Her husband's wife Feedback from his attorney
She was waiting for the lecture to end so she could talk to him before he left without saying a word to her. Instead of making a note her gaze focused on him, he was listening and watching the professor in total concentration. However She definitely didn't hear anything else, her mind was swayed, perturbed as she was sitting, playing with a pen, scrambling nothing on her book. ”That's the end of the lecture...” Professor Clark packed his text book and laptop into his bag then left the lecture theater. Students had started leaving the lecture theatre one after the other, Charlene sprang up from her seat, she took her handbag, the book and her pen then stood on the way she assumed he would take. Javier noticed so he whirled to take another exit, he made to leave without talking to her, but before he could take another step further, she called his name softly. “Javier, wait.” He didn't look back but he stopped walking. She sighed, walking over to where he was standing. “Hi.” He loo
Her husband's wife Their first night
The bodyguards bowed as they walked past them, Richard seemed not to notice anything else including the guests that were drooling over him. Devyn never stopped smiling at the bodyguards at the entrance. “Welcome, sirs.” A giant bodyguard greeted them, directed them to a room. He unlocked the door with the key then they walked inside leisurely. The bodyguard stopped by the door as he had reached his stop, they took an elevator to the top floor meant for the VIP. “I don't understand what we're doing here in SL Tower. Are you here to meet your client?”“Actually I invited someone over here. He wants us to meet so…” He narrowed at him. They sidled out after the elevator slid open.“Oh.” He gave a feeble response. He believed the person Richard invited must be someone important like them, so he only came to the tower for a conference with foreigners. Surprisingly when Devyn saw director Wilson, the least person he expected, he twitched his lips.Wilson rose, he smiled brightly at Richard
Her husband's wife Miguel or the contract?
“You'll be late if you keep pretending to be sleeping, Charlene.” Richard whispered to her ear, sending a chill down her spine. She chuckled quietly as she turned her back at him. She had checked the time when Richard left to get dressed in the closet, since she had made up her mind to spend the whole day with Miguel there was no reason for her to wake up early. Moreover she was imagining last night's event, she couldn't get over it. Their first night was awesome, if there was anything Charlene ever wanted again it was his touch, she wanted to feel his touch again. Richard thought she was still in pain, perhaps she was regretting what happened between them last night. Literally they were a couple, that should be expected to happen even if both individuals were forced to marry each other. However Richard wasn't giving up until she answered him. “Does it hurt that much?” He asked chivalrously. The magnanimous attention she was receiving from him was making her uneasy, she wondered if i

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
