Her husband's wife She's a manipulator
Henrietta stood on his way, stopping him from taking another step further. “I don't like the babysitter. Please fire her.” She said without minding the consequences of her action.Richard glared at her. “I'm not firing her. If you don't like her you should deal with it.” “Miguel hurts his ankle all because of her carelessness. I can't deal with my baby getting hurt. It hurts seeing him in pain.” Her eyes became red as her tears hovered her eyes.He flustered at her, simply didn't understand what she was talking about. “What happened to Miguel?” Worried about him, he inquired..“Why don't you come see for yourself.” He hesitated. He wanted to check Miguel in his room but there was part of him that made him restrict. When he locked eyes with her, there was no sincerity in her eyes. However, since Miguel was the one they were talking about he couldn't resist it. “I know you're not coming with me but my son is in pain because of her. Please Richard, even if you're not going to see our

“How's Miguel? I couldn't check on him because Henrietta won't let me in. Is he okay?” Charlene asked, changing into her nightdress, then walked up to the bed.Sitting up on the bed with his laptop next to him, he was working on it in total concentration. “He's getting better.” He answered her without looking up.Charlene climbed up from the bed and moved close to him, peeking into what he was doing. “Have you heard from Ariel? The maid told me she didn't come here today.”“I got a call from her, she won't be coming to the mansion for a while.” He answered calmly, not looking away from the laptop.Charlene looked at him sharply. “Did you fire her?”“No.”“So, what happened to her?”He stopped his finger halfway close to the keyboard. He closed his eyes briefly and sighed softly. “She just needs a break. And please, Charlene, enough questions. I have to work this out and if you keep asking questions, I won't be able to concentrate.” She blinked slowly, making a hilarious expression. “

“You're drinking alone at this hour.” Henrietta showed up behind him. She was in the home bar with him. It was already twelve o'clock at midnight. He couldn't get a wink of sleep after a teleconference with his clients. He exited the room to have some drinks. He thought everyone was sleeping, however Henrietta awoke like an early bird. “What are you doing here?” He asked without looking at her.“I've been having sleepless nights ever since I got here. I didn't expect to see you here, I usually come here every night.” She skipped a step closer to him.“Why can't you sleep?” He poured more champagne into the flute, then sipped.“Maybe because I have a lot in mind. Dolly broke up with me. I'm about to be kicked out of the industry, they're looking forward to mishaps from me and here I am, somewhere I'm not welcome. I felt like an intruder. May I sit?” She pointed at the chair opposite him. He nodded, giving her his permission. He faced her and lifted a brow curiously. “What have you do
Her husband's wife What about the contract?
Richard glanced up to know the person that stepped into his office, it was Devyn, He strides toward the chair around his desk and slumped onto it. “What brings you here?” He asked, writing something down on a note. “It's lunchtime. I came to ask if you'll like to join me.” Devyn chirped. He tilted forward to take a look at what he was scrambling down. Richard put down the pen and gazed at him squarely. “What?”“Nothing. Will you join me?”“As you can see I'm busy. Go ahead.” The door slid open and Henrietta casually sauntered in. The bright smile on Devyn's face instantly turned sore, his brow ceased as he twitched his lips, showing dislike. “Hey. What's she doing here?” He faced Richard and whispered to him.“Richard...” Henrietta walked up to them and stopped in front of his desk. She had a cup of coffee in her hand while she was carrying Miguel in her arm, she put the coffee on the desk and passed it over to him.Richard didn't have the time to answer him. He lifted a brow puzzl
Her husband's wife A fight
“What did she tell you?” He inquired. His voice was calm as always. Richard couldn't get angry and make it worst for both of them. She was furious, and deep inside he also was but he had to conceal his anger so everything would work out perfectly for both of them.“What she told me? Do you think I'll right here asking you if I know about the contract both of you signed?” She yelled through gritted teeth, clenching her fists exasperatingly.He shut his eyes briefly, inhaling and exhaling deeply to calm his nerves. “Calm down, Charlene. I'm going to tell you everything you need to know, but you have to calm down.”“I am.” She snarled.“You are not.” She blinked rapidly, looking around the room she found her way toward the bed and sat down. She buried her face in her palm and cursed underneath. “Fuck you, Richard. You're making everything hard for us.” She gazed up at his face and peered into his eyes, waiting for him to start speaking.“Whatever Henrietta might've told is a lie. Don't
Her husband's wife She caught him kissing his ex wife
Richard stopped by the kitchen to fetch some water after returning from morning exercise. He sauntered in. Unexpectedly, there were no maids in the kitchen except Henrietta, who was cooking. He would have mistaken her for Charlene, he distinctly remembered warning Henrietta never to overstep the boundary . However, the hair color was different. Charlene had golden blonde hair whereas Henrietta's was dark brown. “What are you doing in my kitchen?” Richard grabbed water from the refrigerator, he selected a glass and poured some into it. He raised the glass to his mouth and guzzled everything.She turned at him, holding a knife in her hand. She was wearing an apron and her hair was also covered to prevent it from falling into the food she was preparing. “Cooking, as you can see.” She replied cheerfully.“And the cook, what happened to her?”“I told her to take a break. She's unwell and nearly fainted while preparing your breakfast. I promised her I'm going to inform you. I'm just offeri
Her husband's wife Heartbroken
However, it was a mistake and he found it hard to forgive himself for what happened. Charlene was deeply hurt, and he couldn't comfort her because he was the one who brought tears to her eyes.On the other side, Henrietta was enjoying every moment of their throes, nothing seemed to inconvenience her since Richard hadn't spoken a word of leaving the mansion to her. She believed there was a chance for her, now that it appeared to her Richard still left a soft spot for her in his heart, and that alone kept her hopes up. She had made up her mind to seize the opportunity and made good use of it.The incident was a coincidence, he foolishly lost himself and allowed his emotions to get the best control over his action; he contemplated thoroughly how he could explain to her that it was a mistake without hurting her, she didn't give him the audience he needed. Besides, she didn't want to talk to him, shutting him out was all she could do to avoid a dispute and breaking down right in front of h
Her husband's wife Leaving the mansion was a terrible decision
Three hours earlier“Hey. Look who just breezed in.” Jeremy teased when he saw Richard coming over to the VIP section. He pivoted at Devyn. “I thought you said he wasn't coming.” It sounded more like an interrogation.Devyn shrugged off. “Perhaps he changed his mind. Lately, he hasn't been hanging out with us. Being a husband isn't easy. Jeremy, what the hell are you still waiting for?”“Shame the one I love doesn't want marriage.” Eventually, they reached their VIPs, Richard slumped beside Jeremy and punched him on the shoulder playfully. “Quit lying and tell him that both of you are just having fun.” He was exposed.Jeremy shot him a fake glare. “I don't think I can handle marriage at my young age.”“Until you turn old, man?”“Well, I'm afraid all marriages lead to divorce. The divorce rate is high. I wonder if both partners were truly in love.” “Of course, you can't marry someone you don't love.” Devyn cut in.“Then why do couples divorce? I keep wondering if their love tanks are

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.

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
