2024-10-29 19:42:56Kathleen stepped out of her room just in time. It was Charles' voice that awoke her from her slumber, fortuitously she caught Charles about to descend the stairs, she called out his name calmly.
“What's the matter? Is Charlene here?” Kathleen enquired as she stood looking at Charles.
Charles halted, he glanced behind to see her already out. He pivoted promptly and shrugged his shoulders. “I don't know. She received a call just now and left my room in such a hurry without saying anything. I have to go after her.”
Charles didn't bother to wait for her approval or response, he descended the stairs and trudged out of the building. James was driving out of the mansion when he arrived outside. Charles cursed underneath, he had to go back in for his car key. He turned around and went inside.
He entered his room, he walked toward the drawer beside his bed, he drew it out a

“Should I book flight tickets for both of us?” Dolly asked immediately as she entered. Henrietta was walking toward her closet to get dressed. She halted in front of the door, she turned around and lifted her brow perplexingly. Dolly sighed softly, she believed Henrietta never checked the email she sent.“Tickets for what?” Henrietta eventually asked after a brief silence. She moved her hand to her hair to remove the towel she wrapped on her head.Dolly hit her forehead as she grumbled with frustration. She rolled her eyes and took a pace close to her. “Didn't you receive my email yesterday?”She frowned while drying her wet hair with the white towel. “Of course I did but I didn't have time to check it. Yesterday was really a terrible day, I'm still doing what I should be doing to get the contract. That manipulated bitch–” She seethed through gritted teeth.Dolly sighed, she knew who she was referring to. If it wasn't Maggie then it was no one. “Maggie?”“Who else? She's really a head
Her husband's wife I'm sorry
Charlene had tried to start a conversation with him but whenever she brought up a topic he ignored completely as if she was never talking to him. It wasn't like he derived happiness in doing so but he thought it was the best thing to do. Javier thought if he gave her a space it would be better than being close to her and became a disaster in her marriage.When the time was up Javier went over and submitted his booklet. Charlene saw him heading out of the lecture theatre, she was almost done, she scribbled the last answer, she packed up and walked up to the invigilator who was standing next to the desk. She dropped her answer booklet, the invigilator looked at her and smiled brightly. Charlene shrugged off, she strode to where her backpack was, she carried it and exited the lecture theatre. She looked round in search for him, she was perturbed as needed to talk to him. “Hey, Charlene.” Fiona appeared behind her, Charlene pivoted to look at her. She raised an inquiry brow while keepin
Her husband's wife Break up
Miguel never allowed his babysitter or Richard to separate him from Charlene. When Charlene attempted to lay him in his crib, he grabbed her hair and cried out loud like a baby that had been taken away from his mother forcefully. Charlene had no other choice than to take him back to their room after feeding him his food. Charlene laid him beside her, whenever Richard tried to touch him he always crawled to Charlene and hugged her. “Seriously, Miguel?” He was surprised when he rejected him again.Charlene spared him an apologetic countenance before looking at Miguel. Richard scoffed softly, he turned to the other side and covered his body with the duvet.Miguel gurgled at her and extended his hands to her, gesticulating to her to carry her. Charlene remembered the book she left because of him, she needed to read but Miguel didn't give her a chance. She sighed, she caressed his face and smiled brightly at him.“Time to sleep, Miguel.” Charlene made to cover him up with his blanket but
Her husband's wife He didn't remembered anything
Richard woke to a terrible hangover, he lingered in bed, ignoring his phone as he kept ringing. His eyes were tightly closed, roaming his right hand on the bed he rolled over to the edge. “Holy shit! My head,” He put a hand on his and groaned silently. Slowly he opened his eyes, almost all the lights in the room were off except the spotlight above the bed, he scanned the room without sitting up. “My head hurts.” He groaned. He extended his hand on the bed and took his phone, he gasped surprisingly when he saw it was five o'clock AM. He sat up abruptly and held his head. He ruffled his hair and glanced around the room. He furrowed his brows puzzlingly when he noticed she wasn't in bed with him.“Where is she?” He asked himself, wondering where Charlene could be. Suddenly he felt the urge of vomiting, he climbed down the bed and went to the bathroom. He vomited, rinsed his mouth and stared at his reflection in the mirror. Obviously he looked a mess, he held his head, trying to recall

She already informed Charles that he would be the one to drive her to the mansion since she thought calling James wasn't necessary. They both headed toward the parking lot and that was when her phone rang. She looked at Charles helplessly. “I have to pick this call.” She was surprised when she checked the call ID. ‘Richard?’ She lifted a brow and picked up with reluctance.“Are you done at school?” Charlene glanced at Charles' face, puzzled. She furrowed her brow. Instantly Charles concluded in his thought that it was him or no one else. She cleared her throat before replying. “Yes, I'm on my way heading home.”“Guess, you're at the car park. Look over, I'm waiting for you.” Charlene glanced around the parking lot, only his car was different. “I can see you.”She hung up and pivoted to Charles. “Richard is here.” She murmured.Charles chuckled when he saw his car. He winked at her teasingly. “I believe he saved me from stress. Go for it. I'm going to call you tonight, we have someth

Luciana invited him so they could talk about Henrietta, she implored him to allow the contract to be assigned to Henrietta but Richard never agreed. Luciana sent a text message to Henrietta to come upstairs, however she was at the door when she heard the whole conversation. She felt terrible, there was no other way to convince Richard if his mother couldn't convince him. She turned around and left disappointedly. She was about to leave the party when she saw Charlene excusing herself from others, without thinking twice she followed her. She stood behind her while she was on the phone call, she was literally jealous because she believed Charlene was the reason Richard refused to give their love a second chance.Richard looked around for her, he sauntered to his friends and asked where Charlene was, Devyn pointed at the direction he believed she would be. Jeremy rose, both of them headed toward the direction while talking. Jeremy saw Henrietta pushing her, Richard didn't notice. When h
Her husband's wife Happy birthday
For the past few days Charlene noticed something unusual about him, he wasn't harsh on her like before. Sometimes he was grumpy but not like before, Charlene thought he was being nice because of what happened and she was yet to understand him. Today was her birthday, of course she and Charles were going to celebrate their birthday. Normally Charles used to be the first person to wish her or Javier, they always competed. She wondered if her 24th birthday would go well now that she wasn't living with her parents anymore. The continuous beeping of her phone woke her, she removed the nightmask she used to blinded her eyes. She glanced at the other side and Richard wasn't in bed with her, she scanned the bedroom but he wasn't in the room. She sighed after checking the radio clock, she believed he had left for work.She extended her hand to the nightstand, she picked the phone and checked. There were tons of wishes. She didn't bother to read the messages, she dropped her phone on the bed,
Her husband's wife Unexpectedly kiss
She waited for his lips to touch her hers, instead of a light or passionate kiss Richard leaned his mouth to her ears then spoke. He figured out what she was expecting but he never intended to kiss her. “Make a wish and I'm going to grant it.” He whispered to her ear.Charlene pokily opened her eyes in embarrassment. She believed her expectation was high, nevertheless Richard never expressed a slight emotion so it was hard for her to know if he was getting fond of her or if it had always been the same. “Yes?” She flustered at him steadily.“Ask for anything.” He repeated. After all Richard had reasons for telling Charlene to make a wish, as he saw it merely looking into her eyes, the desire and desperation were obvious. She gawked at his eyes. “A wish? You'll do anything I want?” She asked to confirm what he said, he nodded. Charlene released a long breath, she gazed steadily into his eyes as both of them were close, with his right partially wrapped around her waist even if she wasn'

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
