The Wife He Wants Back! Chapter 150
VALERIE’S POV“So, that man has agreed to go 50/50?”“Yes boss! I’m sure of it.” Another voice responded; his tone submissive like that of an underling.“Hmm, that is strange. Why the sudden change of heart? He has been hell bent on 60/40 from the start, what changed?” the previous voice asked. “Maybe he just wants to hasten things up, I heard his son is taking charge of their side from now on. That means he will be working directly with us”“Hmm, I don’t like new faces, Julio” the voice seemingly belonging to the boss grumbled and before the conversation could continue, I cut it off. Myself and Rob sighing deeply as we dressed back on our seats. “This is huge, ma’am. From the records, we can clearly see whatever business deal they are on about isn’t genuine, especially as they are trying to speed things up!” Rob said, taking the words right out of my mouth. I just nodded in agreement as he continued giving his analysis.“But the man in question runs a wide range of illegal activiti

CHARLOTTE’S POV“Now lift your legs, turn and put it back down, slowlllyyy” Mr. Modrich, the instructor said as he walked round, assessing everyone.“Good, good! Perfect job, Mrs. Charlotte!” he praised, his voice ringing loudly in the quiet space as the music came to a halt. And soon after women chatters filled the air. “Honestly though, you look beautiful when you dance." he added, coming to the front where I stood. "Like I can see that zeal, that power and confidence…ah! it just radiates from you, Mrs. Charlotte. You should consider performing at the club!” I smiled bashfully at his praise.“Oh c’mon, I know I’m good but what is the club?” I asked and Lucia appeared in front to explain. “The club is where fellow tango lovers gather to enjoy the presence of excellent performers such as your selves!” she said with a smile as she scanned everyone present.“Oh my, I just looked it up!” A lady’s voice ran out, turning everyone’s attention to her. “The women dresses are so pretty! Aww,

HUDSON’S POV“I will pick a place for us to meet, come see me on Charlotte’s birthday” were the words that replayed in my head as I stared at the door swipe in my hands. The address attached to it was familiar. I knew the place; it was the same place where she agreed to meet Grandpa for the first time.The place I first saw her vulnerable as she cried with Grandpa. The memory was still fresh actually, every memory I had of her was fresh. Addictive even, leaving me wanting more and more anytime I met her. “Boss, we are here” James’s voice called out from the front, snapping me out of my thoughts as I looked around in surprise.We were clearly at the VIP parking lot of the company and I didn’t even realize it. But nevertheless, I swiftly tucked the card in my breast pocket, just like how I had been doing this past week after meeting Val at the Socialist’s Gathering. “Everything alright, boss?” James asked, staring at me through the rear-view mirror. I just nodded before getting down and

THIRD PERSON POVIs there such a thing as over expectation? Like where one places or imagines so much from a particular situation or something… an overly expectant person… Even the words don’t sound right. Anyone could clearly see nothing good ever comes out of being overly expectant over something or someone… so, how is it that Charlotte couldn’t see it too?There she sat, in all her regal… seated like some important figure of the society, glamoured in her perfectly sown white flowing dress that just screamed center of attention in the practice room. Eagerly waiting and anticipating the doors of the mini hall to open up, presenting the persons she had plans with.It was her birthday today. Her 30th birthday but popularly known as her 28th birthday to those who knew her but that wasn’t what made this day special. But rather, today marked 10 years that her plans at making a life for herself outside her father became a reality. It was 10 years of careful planning, flawless acting skills

CHARLOTTE'S POV I smiled in joy as the elevator finally opened to the designated floor Hudson chose-The pent suite. It was the highest point in the hotel. The Kings hotel had always been known for their exquisite taste and excellence but this! This room right here was just marvelous! I mean, the elevator just opened up to the room itself!Fabulous, right?My lips parted in awe as I stepped into the space, noting all the luxury furnishings and décor. And as much as I wanted to admire each piece, I still had a man to attend to tonight! So, with a suppressed squeal I headed to the living room. My eyes scanning the space and not seeing any particular fancy stuff or decoration like I had imagined but still, I held on.Not wanting to jump to conclusions. My Huddie was nothing like Maria and the rest. Of course he wouldn’t pick up their ideas. So, I moved around for a bit to search for him. “Huddie? Baby?”Maybe he was hiding to pop up when I least expected it? Like the way the lady I spoke

VALERIE’S POV“I have no one else but you, Lucia! But it’s okay, you don’t have to come right now.” She said to her, sniffling back her tears gradually. “Come see me tomorrow, okay?”“Okay bestie, I will. And I will help you start a big business and teach everyone a lesson!” Charlotte chuckled a bit at her words, her cries finally reducing to a minimum. “Yes, lets do that! I will be the president and you the vice president” Charlotte said enthusiastically, making Lucia smile“Agreed bestie. I’m on your side” Lucia assured her calmly as Charlotte sniffed some more. “Don’t ever betray me, okay? You will always be on my side, right Lucia?”“Always Char. I’m forever on your side” Lucia assured her, making me smile lightly as I sat on the couch. “Don’t cry anymore, we will figure it out tomorrow, okay? Go to bed now.” And a moment later the call ended and silence reigned in the room.I sighed deeply, sipping the content of my glass slowly. Letting the warm liquid travel down my throat as sa

HUDSON’S POVIn life there are risks…but to truly live, one must dare to risk it all. Those were Val’s words during that poker game at Grandma’s memorial. Words that I never truly understood up until this moment. This very moment where I laid side by side to the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.How could someone look so beautiful? So peaceful and full of life while they were fast asleep?‘Is this even real? Or am I dreaming again?’ I had asked myself over and over ever since I woke up by 6am this morning. But the now reddish spot on my arm and the subtle movement of her boobs that currently spilled out from under the bedcover loosely wrapped around her said otherwise. This was real. Meaning everything last night happened.It wasn’t a figment of my imagination like all the other times I had thought about her. This one really happened and every single moment had been engraved into my brain. I don’t think I will ever forget this moment or any of the things we did last night.It was

HUDSON’S POVAfter spending time just cuddling on the bed, we eventually showered, dressing up for the day. Every moment was precious to me. Every single activity we engaged in, from the cuddles to the showers, one at a time to give her privacy. This was all new to the both of us any ways. We didn’t even say much, the only time we exchanged words been when I expressed how I felt about us.But regardless, I loved every minute.Especially after I had finished dressing and arrived at the living room to see hot sizzling breakfast at the dining table. Fried eggs, fried sausages, bacons, a bowl of oats and a cup of tea to wash it all down.I stood, stunned for a moment as I watched her place down the tea mugs while all dressed up in gray tailored trousers, black dress shirt and black shiny cooperate heels with her matching blazer sitting comfortably on a seat at the dining table. A full-on suit, that’s what my goddess was wearing. Have you ever seen a cooperate independent woman in the kitc

VALERIE'S POVIt’s been days.Daysss, since Rob died. I didn’t’ even know what day it was or what said the time. All I knew was hurt. Hurt and guilt, that seemed to have remained permanently in my heart. Never leaving, and never letting me forget.I couldn’t forget, no matter how much I wanted to. No matter how much I needed to! Nanny Beth said I should fight it, that I was getting depressed… Rob wouldn’t want that. But then, how could I even bear to imagine what he wanted and didn’t want when I was the one that caused him to die? I didn’t have that right, and I didn’t want it.Life was already difficult enough, everyday was a drag, everything was a struggle. Getting out of bed, eating, drinking even water… taking a shower seemed pointless these days. Everything felt pointless.I mean, what was the need anyways? Why did I need to? What was the point in having people around you? What was the point of caring and loving someone, when they could so easily be taken away all in a matter of

VALERIE’S POV“Day 500, Valerie just got her very first partnership deal!”“Isn’t that great? And she was so nervous about it, not knowing she would do so amazingly well.” his words read, echoing in my ears like he was right beside me. “You need to believe in yourself more often, Val.”“Day 730, we celebrated the kids one year birthday today! Can you believe those cubby cute balls are already a year old? It’s so fast! Time really runs fast, wow” “Day 952,” I turned yet another page, my teary eyes capturing the words that were carefully written in his neat hand writing. “Valerie looked so beautiful today. So lovely, and warm. Like a ball of light that you just can’t help but stare at since she’s so shiny… You are shiny to me, Valerie.”I blinked at those words, a tear rolling down as I flipped yet to another page of this blue journal. His journal… a close personal belonging of his that I was sure only he knew about. Only he used.This was where he shared all his thoughts, those time
The Wife He Wants Back! CHAPTER 310
HUDSON’S POV“Boss,” the men around greeted as soon as they saw me, pushing open the thick barrel door for me to walk through as I managed a nod their way. The scent of fresh water hitting my nostrils the moment I stepped into the partially lit room, my heavy steps echoing in the space as slowly movements filled the air. Movements similar to the sound of my boots, combining with the loud trail of a chair been dragged on the cold floor. “Boss,” the hoarse voices of the men around greeted harmoniously, their tone rough and monotone, exactly how I have felt these past few days. Most especially after I started driving down here this evening.I could feel my anger curling around in my stomach as I stared right ahead in the mini darkness. My eyes gradually adjusting, in other to make out the form of the very person I wanted to see.“Wake her up!” I ordered darkly, taking my seat in the dead silence that was soon interrupted by the sound of a bucket of water splashing. A frightened gasp fo

HUDSON’S POV“I think you should return back home for now, Hudson”Huh?“Why?” I found myself asking, rising from my seat as the very form of Henry Hernandez slowly approached me in the living room of his mansion.“We just got here, it hasn’t been too long” He just sighed at my words, waving me to take a seat as he did as well.“It’s past 4pm already, you’ve been here for a while. And Valerie, she…ugh…” he sighed again, this time even deeply than before. “She looks terrible!” I could see he was worried as well, just as we all were for her. “She’s just sad,” I voiced calmly, sighing quietly as well. “Anyone in her situation would be too,”“Yeah, you’re right. Rob was… they were always together, much like Toberto is always around me too.” Henry said slowly, his tone soft as his deep meaning of his words settled between us. “ I couldn’t imagine Toberto dying on me to be honest. He is my longest staff, and does…everything! Much like how Rob was to my pumpkin, he was strong and resilient.

VALERIE’S POV“May he be welcomed into your arms oh lord,”“May he find peace,”“And love, that we send him off with,”“Robinson Clark, may you rest in peace! Amen.”And just like that, he was gone.Right before my eyes. Right before my very eyes he was lowered into the ground, his casket numbing my soul as I watched more and more soil get thrown on him. Continuously, unrelenting… as though to prove to me that this was all real. It was all real and true, that I wasn’t just having any terrible nightmare.But still, no matter how much I stared at the fully covered soil, the freshly dug grave… I just couldn’t. I couldn’t believe it.No matter how much the incidents from the nights before replayed in my head, the gunshots, my cries and screaming, Rob’s bloody body been wrapped up… no matter how vivid the memories… I still couldn’t believe it. Not a single thing!I mean, how could i? This was Rob we were talking about! How could he be… be… dead. How could he be dead?! Just like that! How?!
The Wife He Wants Back! CHAPTER 307
VALERIE'S POVMy voice sounded all over the place, the man I was referring to getting into action at once. “We already called for one, they are yet to get here”“Call for another one, call another one! Call every damn hospital, I don’t care! I WANT THEM HERE NOW! RIGHT NOW!” I yelled at him for that response, my eyes going crazy as I applied more pressure on the open wounds. My every move desperate, “Val…” he groaned out, wanting to talk to me but I didn’t stop.“We have to get him to the hospital,” I said instead, my voice messed up from my choked sobs. “We have to-“We can’t do that! He is losing too much blood and we won’t be able to contain it before getting to the hospital. He can’t be moved right now!” One of the men protested heavily, he was the one with the most blood on him. Meaning he had been helping out a lot, but still that wasn’t enough for me. it wasn’t even close to been enough!“Do you want him to bleed out here?” I asked darkly, “Is that what you want? For him to ble

VALERIE’S POV“VALERIE!”The screams filled the air, my mind going numb as sharp ringing resounded my ears. Ringing so loud that it sent multiple harsh waves of pains and anguish to my brain, tormenting my entire being as I held onto my baby for dear life. My Miley…The breath refused to come out, just staying there stuck in my lungs, as though punishing me. Wanting to squeeze the life out of me as my eyes slowly assessed myself. My baby.Her eyes were sealed shut, her small fingers tightly clutching to my shirt as I held her. My silent tears rolling down my cheeks uncontrollably, dropping on her as the most prominent thought came to me.The very thought I was trying not to think, but woefully failing to do so. I did hear those shots, and currently I felt no pain whatsoever. Meaning… meaning… my baby…The more I struggled not to think anything, the more the thought bombarded my mind. Striking me at my very core, as I felt myself slowly slip away. Drowning even as more tears rolled dow

VALERIE’S POV“You,”“What the hell are you doing here?!” Hudson snarled hatefully, abandoning the plates at the table immediately. In no time he had walked over to me, pulling me protectively towards the table, with the kids behind us. “How did you get in here? James!”“Yes me, it’s me Huddie. What, happy to see me?” she probed, giving off an eerie vibe as she smiled crazily at him. Moving to me as well, but I couldn’t even believe my eyes right now. This was a person that was should’ve been arrested when they caught Drake! What was she doing here? How did she even get into our estate?!My mind buzzed with several questions at once, and Hudson probably sensed it. His hands giving mine a gentle squeeze as he remained calm, glaring daggers at the woman in front of us.“I’m going to say this once; Leave.”“Oh? Leave, why?” Charlotte questioned, frowning now as she looked between the two of us. “Because of her? Because of this bitch, you’re asking me to leave?!”“Leave my yard, using the
