The Wife He Wants Back! CHAPTER 167
CHARLOTTE’S POVShe swallowed, her eyes expressing her hesitance before she went on explain. “I know this sounds crazy but trust me. I don’t have these instincts for nothing! It was the same with me back then when my stupid husband left me for his mistress, and now I’m having the same feeling towards Hudson.”I blinked, not believing my ears. “What are you saying Lucia? How can you compare your useless ex-husband to my Huddie? That makes no sense!” I shot at her, truly offended.She sighed deeply as she looked at me, “Char, look, he came to your performance today, but he didn’t get you any gifts or flowers” she said, urging me to look around at other women that had flowers or gift boxes in their arms with their husbands standing close by, smiling with them.“He didn’t come to greet or talk to you either,” she added, her voice calm as I digested her words with a trembling heart. “I’ve been watching him all afternoon Char, he didn’t even glance at you once! And he is making no attempt t

HUDSON’S POV“Okay baby, sweet dreams”“Sweet dreams too, daddy. I love you” she said happily, her adorable tone making me chuckle as I responded I love you back to her but she pressed on for more. “You love only me right, daddy?” she asked, “I will always be your princess, right?”“Hmm, let me think” I mumbled, made a thinking face even though I knew she couldn’t see me since this was a call. “Huh? Daddy!” she exclaimed, complaining loudly with a pout that I knew would be on her lips right now, even if I couldn’t see her. “You’re no more my prince charming, I take it back!”“Woah, okay, okay princess,” I chuckled, thoroughly amused and happy with how much of a talkative she was becoming.“I apologize my princess, you’re the only one I have! And I will love you forever!” I assured her, smiling as she said she would think about forgiving me later on tomorrow. “Tomorrow? Isn’t that a bit too harsh, princess?” I argued.“Your princess says tomorrow daddy, why are you insisting?” she reto

HUDSON’S POVRather, when I reached for her hands, she quickly snatched it away, avoiding my eyes as she addressed me. And this time, her tone was like that of the Valerie I had met before all the times we’ve spent together recently. “No, that’s not what I’m talking about. You’re mistaken”But I didn’t relent. Since I had decided to take responsibility of the way she made me feel, it included having difficult conversations like this. If I couldn’t understand her struggles then what was my reason for being in her life? How would I prove I was ready for what was going on between us? How could I proof I was ready for us?“Val,” I called her softly, moving myself so I would close the distance between us. “Please look at me,” she refused at first but did a moment later, and when my eyes met her green ones, I could see the hurt floating in her eyes. I wanted to ask her what was wrong, why she hurt herself that day and why she was so worried but she beat me to it. “You cannot let Aby do that

CHARLOTTE’S POV“The number you’re trying to call, is not available at the moment. Please hold on or call back later” those words, those same words were what my phone kept saying each and every time I dialed his number. I didn’t stop trying and the robotic voice didn’t stop telling me the same words either.“Ma-Madame,” Maria stuttered behind me, “He is not picking up?” I asked, turning to face her. The white walls of the living room speeding past my eyes with how fast I spun around. “Why won’t he pick up? Are you sure he’s not at the office?”She bowed in disappointment before nodding her head as a yes. “But he said he has work, that he will be going to the office. If he is not at the office then where is he?!” I asked out loud, my voice shaky as I looked to the maids for answers but no one would respond, each of them shuffling on their feet as they mumbled amongst themselves.I have to keep trying. I have to keep calling, he would have to take my calls at some point! It was almost m

VALERIE’S POV“I’m so sorry… I’m so sorry!’ he cried out, his blue eyes glistening as tears rolled down each of them. “I didn’t know… I did not realize how bad my actions affected you. It was all my fault! I was stupid, young and very foolish, Valerie!”“I didn’t wan to lose to Grandpa because he had said I would end up loving you, so I was mean to you. I was cold and rude! I had thought that, if I was like that it would’ve made you give up and backed out of you and Grandpa’s deal! It was foolish! I am so ashamed of myself, Valerie. I am so ashamed” he explained, tears rolling down his cheeks as he held my hands, desperately trying to explain himself.And I didn’t know how to feel about that.When I started talking, I had no intention of evoking this reaction from him. I never even imagined he would behave like this! Crying, apologizing and begging for me not to leave him. They were all I ever wanted from him back then. Every day, I would stay up in my room and wished for him to do th

CHARLOTTE’S POVLucia was right. Hudson could decide not to come home but that doesn’t mean I can’t go to him here at the company. He may ignore me but he would most definitely not cause a scene at the office where public eyes could see. Hence, making Lucia’s plan to go to his office very efficient.How didn’t I think of this before?“Excuse me Ma’am, but who are you?” the security just outside the elevator on Hudson’s office floor asked, blocking my path. “What?”“Without a pass you can’t get through Ma’am” he said, looking unapologetic as he literally stopped me in front of the few staffs present. What sort of embarrassment is this?! “What the hell are you doing?” I spat in disgust as my eyes ran down his form, “Don’t you know who I am? What kind of sick joke is this?!”“No offense Ma’am but noise is restricted on this floor” he retorted, sparking my irritation as he communicated to God knows who on that communicating device seated on his waist. Soon after more security came rushing

CHARLOTTE'S POVAs if my day couldn’t get any worse, she just had to show up! To pop up out of nowhere just when I was losing my shit over finding out that Hudson cheated on me. “You’re here to mock me, aren’t you? To gloat in my face just like all those other bitches, aren’t you?! Beat the dog while its down, eh?” I sneered, my eyes glaring daggers as I equally approached her incoming form.“Charlotte, are you well?” she asked instead, her overall expression nonchalant like she couldn’t be bothered by my approaching form. “What are you talking about?”“Admit it!” I spat angrily, my temper rolling as I moved even closer to her. “You’re here to laugh at me. You think I’m pathetic? You think I’m stupid, right?! So stupid that I couldn’t see Hudson was cheating me!” I sneered in her face, each word leaving a bitter taste in my mouth as it further confirmed that this was truly happening and to me, of all people!But sadly, my inner turmoil only brought joy to the face to the brown-haired

VALERIE’S POV“G-get lost?”“H-how can you be so mean to me?!” she shrilled; her brown eyes red rimmed from shedding so much tears and more still continued to drip. Her mascara was far gone as it had already formed a long streak down her both cheeks since I stepped into the office. I already knew she was crying.She had most definitely seen the makeup stain on his suit, just like I had planned and now nothing will hold back her doubts and fears. I knew she wouldn’t accept that Hudson was cheating on her so easily if she hadn’t seen it with her two eyes. He was after all loyal to her all these years, not once having a scandal or looking at other women. A man with such devotion, what woman would believe he was cheating without concrete proof? No one!And as such, I had to create one for her.I couldn’t show myself just yet so telling her about it was out of the question. Hence, my reason for intentionally applying a bit of my makeup on his suit earlier this morning before we came to his

HUDSON’S POV“Val? “Valerie!” I called out, my heart throbbing in my chest as my mind went on an overdrive. It was the same thing. The exact same thing that happened that day! That day when the accident occurred and I was too late to stop it!It was happening again; Val’s call, talked about Aby and then-“Oh God!” I breathed, my legs moving on their own accord and before I knew it, I was storming out of my office and down the hallway! Heading for the elevator!If only this thing could move faster!“Argh! Move dammit!” I cussed harshly, pressing on the down button more than necessary. Just so I could get down faster. To which I eventually did, just after wasting nearly 2 minutes of precious time!The drive, like that day was swift. Like really swift and probably dangerous as well for anyone that was on the road but, I had to do it. It was the only way to get home faster and I so wanted to do just that. I didn’t want a repeat of the last incident when I was several hour
The Wife He Wants Back! CHAPTER 258
VALERIE'S POVWait for her, for her mind … because that is where her problem is. The accident and the suddenness of everything that happened left a scar on her, it was too much and her already delicate mind couldn’t take it. So, it shut down completely. Like her brain went on an overdrive on the day of the accident and something just snapped. Her mind only did what it thought as necessary to save itself and that was shutting down.There was no medicinal cure for it, everything just depended on her. The only thing we could do was take care of her physically, help her with her therapy sessions and try to make her life as normal as possible in other to trigger her normal self back home. The situation really was… sad.So sad, that I couldn’t stop imagining the level of shock such a little girl must’ve gone through when she found herself flying through the windscreen of a car that was on high speed and getting smashed against the iron bars of the estate gates. I couldn’t imagine… it was he

VALERIE’S POVA FEW MONTHS LATER“Mommy?”“Mommy where are you? I’m going to be late again!” Her whiny voice complained, causing me to hasten up a bit amidst the pile of colored ballet shoes.Purple slippers… purple slippers, purple slippers… where are you?Ugh, goodness me!“Where is it?!” I grumbled, totally exasperated by this absolutely annoying search that I had to do right now. This is a pair of shoes I would always see here, amidst all these other shoes but somehow, today when I actually need it, I can’t see it anywhere!“Mommy!”“I’m coming!” I sounded out, groaning in distress as I quickly grabbed a white pair before rushing out of the room and down the stairs. Anything was better than nothing at this point. Besides, white goes with any color, right? A white on purple wasn’t so bad right?“I’m coming, sweetie. Mommy is coming!” I called out, taking the steps two at a time just to get down in time before Miley would bring down the entire building with all her impatient screami

VALERIE’S POV“I will go first,” he said, facing me completely on the seat. I just nodded, relaxing my right arm on the seat so I could face him too. This position left little distance between us, but it was comforting. It felt warm, and I loved it too.I really have been loving a lot of things these days, haven’t i?“I- I want to apologize to you” he started,“For?”“For been such an idiot. For been unreliable, childish, the worse possible husband you could have gotten when we were younger! I was… you were a victim, a victim of my family’s messed up ways. It was like everyone had an agenda 5 years ago; mom wanted to pair me and Charlotte, Grandpa wanted to pair you and I, my father… my father wanted to save his ass and let the rest burn, and me… I wanted to prove Grandpa wasn’t right about everything concerning me! Everyone had a game plan, everyone except you.”“You were just yourself and so real… that’s why we couldn’t stand you. You became the victim, an innocent victim in all our

VALERIE’S POV“Is everything ready?”“Yes Val, she’s leaving now. Like right now” Rob droned, obviously tired of my repeated calls in the past 30 to 40 minutes. But could you blame me? I was the worried one right here. I mean, with Hudson aggressively sweeping through everything that has to do with or had somewhat any connection to do with Drake and Charlotte, I was bound to get worried for Lucia!I couldn’t let him get to her now he was in his beast mode.He hadn’t even come to the hospital ever since he left that morning after walking in on my conversation with Rob at the cafeteria. I admit, his features did seem gloomy but that was to be expected after receiving so much information about those around in a short span of time. It was a lot.Just a lot! And right now, he seemed to be pouring all his anger in a different direction. And that is by raiding every possible lair Drake could be hiding, taking anyone in his part too! But the crazy thing is, these people weren’t going to the p

CHARLOTTE’S POV“But no worries! You will be leaving soon enough.” She continued, her tone housing an unmistakable mockery that just angered my spirit the more her I listened to her. “I just wanted to ask how the quick lift was but I guess there’s no need for that anymore. With the way you gulped down that chilled water, you must be stressed! But stress is good though, don’t get me wrong.”“It prepares you; you know. For what is to come, at least for you right now…”“Wah… what are talking about, you fucking bitch?!” I snapped, losing all my shit right there and then! I have had enough of her, honestly!“First of all, I’m not in your house! You don’t know where I live or where I currently am, Valerie! Stop trying to get in my head! It worked at the hospital doesn’t mean it will work on me again! You think I don’t know what you did? You think I don’t know how you played everything yesterday?! Those fucking family members may be blinded by you but I’m not! I’m not blind at all, Valerie a

CHARLOTTE’S POVInstantly my neck snapped in her direction, eyes wide as alarm sprung in my heart. “What?” “Madame,”“Wah…what did you say?” I stammered, blinking repeatedly as i tried to see through the rage of emotions swelling up from within me right now; confusion, alarm, disbelief and above all… fear. Fear of been trapped in a cell for whatever reason!“Madame, they are-“I said, what did you say?!” I snapped, my voice ringing out in the room as anxiety got the best of me. “Who the hell did you say is at the door?”“The co-cops madame!” Maria stuttered, clearly sharing my panic as she tried to conceal her trembling fingers. “They have a warrant, and… it’s about the men we paid madame. What are we going to do? How do we escape this, they- they said there is a recording which proves that you indeed paid those guys, Madame. What do we do? How do we-“What did you say to them?” I interjected; my eyes murderous as I closed in on her. “What did you tell them at the door, Maria?”“I- I

CHARLOTTE’S POV“You fucking blonde bitch!”“How dare you! How dare you, Charlotte?!” The voice which I so much hate that I recognize right now shrilled in my ears. Literally threatening to render me deaf at such early hours of the fucking morning!‘Argh, this pompous bitch again.’ I groaned under my breath, groggily rubbing my eyes open as her voice continued to scream through my phone speakers. “You have a lot of nerves, Charlotte. So much nerves, but guess what? I’m going to deal with you. I’m going to deal with you stupid ass, you hear me?!”“Hey!” I yelled back, snapping at her. “What do you want, Mrs. Thompson?! What the fuck is wrong with you and why are you screaming in my ears at this time of the morning?! People are still sleeping you know!”“Sleeping?!” She mocked, laughing loudly like a manic. “You really are something, aren’t you?! You dare sleep after what you’ve done?!”What?“What are you talking about?” I asked, some sort of clarity coming to me as I looked around my
The Wife He Wants Back! CHAPTER 251
HUDSON'S POVWith one last exhale to calm the nerves, “I apologize.” I said, “I apologize for showing up on your property without an invite. For continuously trying to barge my way through every time i came here… I have thought about it all through my time out at your entrance and it truly doesn’t sound good.”“So, you do realize that, hm?” He mocked calmly, keeping his eyes trained on me.“Though my means was and still is wrong at the moment, but my reason for this is truly urgent.” I explained, “I am here today, because I am guilty man! A man that has done you wrong and simply disregarded you all these years, especially after finding out that things weren’t as I assumed. I have… I have hurt your daughter. Your granddaughter, Valerie. I hurt her, I abandoned her and totally neglected her when we were married!”“Oh? So, you married her?” He sneered, the distaste in his tone clear. “You married a daughter of mine without my knowledge?!”“Yes!” I confirmed, taking the bull by the horns.
