The Wife He Wants Back! CHAPTER 172
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
The Wife He Wants Back! CHAPTER 173
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
The Wife He Wants Back! CHAPTER 174
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
The Wife He Wants Back! Chapter 1
VALERIE POV“Goodness! I have no idea which rapid dog bit my son that day when he married you.” I clenched my fingers unconsciously around the damn papers while my “dear” mother-in-law rained insults on me.“Not only did you stop him from marrying someone decent like Charlotte, you also went ahead to hurt her and my grandkids!”“I never pushed her! Sh-”“You’re a monster!” she yelled venomously. I took shaky steps backwards in disbelief. Me? A monster!?“Aren’t you going to say anything?!” I spat angrily at Hudson, the very man who was supposed to be my husband.“You mean defend your lies?” He questioned; his expression was cold and mocking.“How about you tell everyone how you secretly stopped donating blood for Charlotte, huh?” I froze at his words. How did he find out? That was just two months ago.I had been feeling weak a lot and missed going one time, and the second time I went for it, I found out I was pregnant. I was finally pregnant after trying so hard for three years.Surel
The Wife He Wants Back! CHAPTER 2
VALERIE POV It’s been over an hour since I signed the divorce papers and left the entire Rodriguez family gawking in surprise downstairs, and yet here I was still crying.I may have been quite bold downstairs but honestly? It hurt, so fucking much! My heart felt like a thousand horse had stepped on it and I couldn’t breathe. My 4 years obsession had finally come to an end and with it my shattered heart. For 4 years of my life, I had loved and cherished one man, did everything in my power to make him see me but somehow it only seemed to make him hate me more.I stared down at the little garden below my window, a rose bunch that Grandpa had specially planted for me. Poor man, he didn’t know what had gone down today. The flowers danced happily with the gentle breeze, as though mocking me. "Go ahead, laugh at me," I croaked, my voice cracking with emotion. "I'm pretty stupid, aren't I?""You most definitely are." I spun around immediately, my anger flaring as I faced the evilness herself.
The Wife He Wants Back! Chapter 3
HUDSON’S POV“Who would have thought that we would be free of that ungrateful brat?” Mom beamed, casting me a meaningful look.“I know, right? Good riddance to bad rubbish." Aunt Claire added with a chuckle. “What’s important now is for Charlotte to nurse her health; my grandson can’t suffer any more stress, okay?”“Yes, aunt, I will be careful now,” Charlotte said with a big smile.“Nonsense, call me mom,” my mom gushed out. And it only made Charlotte smile brighter.It was comforting to see her smiling now, rather than shed those tears that broke my heart.Suddenly, Valerie’s crying face flashed through my mind. Her pouty pink lips, trembling from holding back tears that dripped down those soft cheeks. A strange feeling overtook my body at the memory and left a bitter taste in my mouth, but I immediately pushed it down.She tried to hurt Charlotte and my unborn children as well. That’s unforgiveable!“Baby, baby, are you okay?” Charlotte gently tapped me. I blinked in surprise. “Yea
The Wife He Wants Back! Chapter 4
VALERIE’S POV“Ma’am?” Rob, my assistant, called out for the third time since we arrived at the building for the signing. We are currently in the underground parking lot kept specially for VVIPs. It's been almost 30 minutes and I still couldn’t find it in me to get down from the car. Trust me, this was not the first time I had to come for a partnership signing, but this was the first time I would be seeing Hudson after our divorce. If I said I wasn’t tense about it, I would be lying.It’s been 5 years already, but it still seemed like yesterday. The memories of him and his family are still fresh on my mind. And especially today, it felt more like an open wound. Liam had repeatedly offered to come on my behalf, to save me the heartache, but I refused.This was my fight. After my experience with them, I fought constantly to be who I am today, building up my walls and confidence that they had trampled upon so ruthlessly. And I most definitely cannot let one meeting shatter all my eff
The Wife He Wants Back! Chapter 5
VALERIE'S POV“Mommy!” “Oh no,” I moaned, paused mid-air, and gritting my teeth at my poor attempt to tiptoe to my room.“I can see you mummy, there’s no need to hide” Mason said in his ‘as a matter of fact’ tone.I sighed ‘Okay Okay, you got me.” I said with a soft smile and raised my hands in defeat. But he didn’t seem phased at all, he just stared at me with a bored expression.I had to change tactics then. “Oh, baby, you shouldn’t be up, look at the time. Gosh!” I exclaimed.“Mommy you deceived us!” Miley voice rang out from the kitchen. “Me?” I replied with fake disbelief.Almost immediately sounds of her little flip flops filled the air as she ran to the living room, with an …ice cream coated hair??“Whoa! What’s with your hair?” I exclaimed and touched her hair; it was indeed ice cream.I looked at her tiny frowning face for explanation, but she just huffed and turned to the side. “Little Miss dramatic huh?” I teased as a slight chuckle left my lips.Just then, I heard tiny fe

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
The Wife He Wants Back! CHAPTER 170
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
The Wife He Wants Back! CHAPTER 169
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
The Wife He Wants Back! CHAPTER 168
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
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

CHARLOTTE’S POV“What do you think?”“Wow, you look stunning Madame!” One of the maids gushed brightly,“Yeah, the purple color really suits you!” Kate added, her eyes wide in admiration as she came closer to admire the purple stones on my dress. Today was the day! The day I would finally crush the smug smiles on both Mrs. Thompson’s face and her stupid minions!They had dared me for so long and finally, I would take the first step in crushing them, just as Lucia and I had planned a month back. The plan was to perform today at the school, captivate everyone present while making every other person’s performance look like child’s play the moment I step on stage. And then, at the end of the day, I take the heat of the performance back home to Hudson. To leave him wanting and begging for my touch for at least a month or so after today’s performance.But now, the plan was cancelled. At least, the Hudson’s part.We already had so much tension between us that I wasn’t so sure he would even s
