Hudson's POV

Can't they keep their eyes to themselves?! And why in heaven's sake was she dressed like that?! I was seething with frustration, could barely stay calm on my feet whereas, she was busy moving about without a care in the world.

My mind raced with disbelief as she approached a small group of expensive dressed elderly women, the Capitalists! It was rumored that those women secretly ran the governments and she … she knew them?

Her smile was radiant, sparkling with excitement as she hugged them affectionately. This was unbelievable. She moved on greeting more people, her every stride filled with grace and confidence, intensified by the mesmerizing glow that shun on her face from the lights hitting her jewelry.

She was effortlessly commanding attention, and I couldn't help but follow her every move. Realizing I was staring, I quickly cleared my throat a bit and took a drink from a server passing by.

Before I could take a sip, my eyes acted on its own and found her again, fo

  • The Wife He Wants Back!   Chapter 17

    Valerie's pov It took about an hour of convincing to stop my trio from coming with me to the event and an extra 30 to 40 minutes of assuring Miley I wasn't going to meet her daddy. The girl was a tough one, I wonder who she gets it from. But, I love her regardless. I of all people should know exactly how it feels to not have a father or someone to call that either, haven lost both parents to an accident all in one day at the tender age of 5. It opened me to harsh realities that I never even imagined possible. Growing up was almost traumatizing, painful even especially in a family like mine where no one gave a shit about you if they weren't gaining anything from you. But at least I had Nanny Beth, Liam and Grandpa. They were more than enough, something I should have realized earlier before stepping my foot in Hudson's family mansion. But my babies won't live like I did, they will have the love of both mom and dad, Nanny Beth and Grandpa of course. I won't deprive them of that b

  • The Wife He Wants Back!   Chapter 18

    Hudson's POVI turned around with furrowed eyebrows, and almost immediately my lips parted in absolute surprise, my eyes widening as my brain processed what was happening before my eyes.Charlotte, who I last saw shining and delicate looking in her fancy sky blue dress, was now bawling her eyes while half running towards our designated seat. Her sky-blue dress was now a dark shade of burgundy, purple and… cream? I couldn't even tell anymore, the colors were all mixed up in different shades all over her dress, even her hair!From the top of her head to her toes was dozed up with an unhealthy amount of wine.Even her makeup was running, mascara making long lines down her chin mixing with her tears as she increased her pace towards me. It was the spitting image of a crying child, only that Charlotte was not a damned child! My surprised expression slowly contorted to a deep frown and irritation as the people around burst out in a fit of giggles and outrage.By the time she got close to ou

  • The Wife He Wants Back!   Chapter 19

    Valerie's POVHave you ever felt like your heart light up like a firework and was exploding with joy, daring to touch the night sky? That was exactly how I felt right now.Watching Charlotte fall so dramatically on an entire array of champagne glass, bringing down a rain of various types of wine on herself and embarrassing Hudson, right in the hall of the event was the highlight of my evening!Oh, my... it was hilarious! Gosh! I couldn't even decide what I liked more, if it was watching Charlotte fall or her bawling out her eyes as she ran over to complain to Hudson or if it was watching the horror on Hudson's face while she drew everyone's attention!It was so good, I’m telling you! Although I was mad at first, because Charlotte definitely had other plans when she lounged at me. Maybe she wanted to doze my dress with a drink or two or probably do something even worse.I hadn’t moved a muscle and she was already striking at me, that’s very bold! Especially, for someone that always pl

    Hudson’s pov “$25 million!” “$25 million!! Going once!” “Going twice, SOLD!” the auctioneer yelled excitedly. “A rare Picasso painting SOLD to Mrs. Johnson!” the audience cheered ecstatically, and Mrs. Johnson squealed like a child. The fund raising, which was the main part of the event had started full swing for about 30 minutes and these bloody folks weren't playing at all. “Next up!” everyone immediately quieted down, the atmosphere growing tense with anticipation. “A rare ancient Greek coin… going for $6 million!” A man yelled immediately, “$6.5!” “No, $7 million!” another yelled. “Woah! do I hear a $7.5?” auctioneer teased, smiling gleefully. “$10 million!” An elderly woman yelled, and the crowd gasped, turning to face her in surprise. “What will an old woman like her do with that coin! Argh!” the first man that placed a bid groaned and took a swing of his champagne, but the woman definitely had a spirit in her as she screamed, “Take that, Fuckers!” I chuckle

    VALERIE'S POV “$30 million!!” My head did a 360 degree turn to that round table few feet’s away from mine, and my lips turned upwards in a malicious smile. “It’s game time people!” I squealed excitedly in my mind. I could hardly keep the smile off my face after his bass voice saturated the room like a smoke, keeping everyone locked in and brimming with a new type of excitement. The Frugal CEO aka ‘I don’t invest in things that don’t generate income’ was joining the show! That was huge! I’ve got him right where I wanted. “Oh! I see you’ve angered the lion out of the cage Val, now this is what I call interesting” Mama Joyce said with a raised eyebrow as she sat up on her seat. “Okay people!” The auctioneer called out. “I’ve just been informed that we have some new shiny items have been added to the list, so take out your cards and GET. READY!” The crowd cheered and haut in anticipation, everyone hyped by both the auctioneer’s announcement and fresh competitors. I scanned the h

    Valerie's POV "Val! What is it?" Mama Joyce worried voice filtered into my ears, drawing me back to the present situation. "Huh?" I managed to let out, blinking my eyes to fully take in her panicky face."What's wrong? You just zoned out," I squinted my eyes, the sound of more and more figures getting called out heightened my senses. "$600m!! going!"That jewelry set belonged to me! Hudson's Grandpa gave them to me when I married Hudson. It was meant for the daughter in law of the family, which was in fact me. After signing the divorce papers I didn't think to take it with me. Not like I took much of my belongings anyways.I only took what I brought with me before our marriage. Everything else I left them behind. There was only one person that would have the authority to bring it here to be sold off, and that was Grandpa himself!I turned to Hudson's table again and a bitter chuckle left my lips, "Looks like Grandpa doesn't approve of your union, Charlotte." Charlotte's emotions we

  • The Wife He Wants Back!   Chapter 23

    VELERIE’S POVI strolled out of the elevator, the tail of my dress sweeping through the empty parking lot as I walked towards my white Rolls-Royce Spectre at the far end of the space. The night had gone surprisingly well, better than I imagined it would. The look on Hudson’s face should be framed!Ah! The man looked like I had poured sand into his meal. Highly comical! Just before I could reach my car, I heard my name again. For the second time this evening, I turned around just in time to evade an incoming slap from… Charlotte??What! This b!tch got balls!“What the hell is wrong with you?” I asked, alarmed at the sudden attack. She moved again to grab my hair but this time I was prepared, and I pushed her off with my clutch as support. She stumbled to the ground and groaned in irritation before moving to stand again to attack me.I readied myself, this time it won’t be just a push dumb ball. But suddenly she stopped halfway and fell back to the ground, clenching her foot. “Ouch! My a

  • The Wife He Wants Back!   Chapter 24

    Valerie's POV Aunt Barbara's face twisted in rage as she shouted, "How dare you?!" Patricia struggled to steady her, but Barbara's anger amplified from Patricia’s very effort and she pushed her away, a scowl deep in her features. Rob stepped forward, his spotless white suit a stark contrast to my fiery red dress as he partly shielded me protectively from their view with his frame. A warm feeling spread throughout my body at his gesture, filling me up with a comfort I didn’t even realize I needed in the face of these sharks. He greeted my aunties with a respectful bow and tight smile, "It's nice to see you too, Madame Barbara, Madame Patricia." Barbara's scowl deepened, her breathing heavy with unbridled anger as she stood awkwardly on one foot, her ankle already swelling from Rob's push. Argh, that must hurt a lot. "Rob, you shouldn't have done that," Patricia scolded softly, casting her sister a pitiful glance. "Look, she's sprained her ankle." I winced at the sight of Barbara'

    HUDSON'S POV“Angelina Rodriguiez.” Val whispered, “Angelina Rodriguiez, our Angel.”“Yeah,” I agreed softly, my eyes falling back on Val as I watched her smile fondly at the sleeping child just beside us in a crib. My heart warming as I took in the view- my queen staring at my angel.My queen… she had to be the most beautiful woman in the world, right? Cause how could she not be? I mean, look at her right now, it’s like she’s glowing. With this warm light all over her despite the tiredness at the edge of her eyes.She still looked so beautiful, so warm and strong.The strongest woman I have ever seen.Independent, smart, beautiful, elegant in every sense!

    HUDSON'S POV“Our new guest has arrived!” The nurse gushed, pushing its wheels just beside Val. Where I had been occupying before now.“Awww, how precious!” Nanny Beth cooed softly, moving to towards it. Everyone doing so too, all except me. I just stood by the side, smiling as everyone got a view of our fairy.As if feeling everyone’s gaze, our baby stirred in her bundle. Her soft cooing’s filling the air, and getting several rounds of awwn from both Val and Nanny Beth. The rest just smiled, especially the men. James and Henry, whose eyes were already brimming with unshed tears.And as for the kids, “Is that… is that our baby sister, mommy?” Miley’s soft voice reached my ears, “Is that my baby sister?”“She’s so small,” Aby joined, her big eyes twinkling as the baby was lifted out of the crib and gently placed in Val’s arms.“And so shining,”“And pink!” Miley and Miles whispered at once, both of them lost in awe of the small being now brought directly in front of their eyes.“A tiny

    HUDSON’S POV“The kids are safe! And so is Nanny Beth” I assured Val, trying to explain.“We had taken two cars, remember? We took two cars, mine and your Papa’s, because you couldn’t sit at the front due to pregnancy and we couldn’t all fit at the back seat with the kids. Me, you, your Papa, James and Nanny Beth all at the same time.”“Oh,” was all that left her lips, the memory coming back to her as she slowly relaxed back down on the bed. I didn’t want her moving or doing anything after everything she just went through from both the labor and with pushing out the baby.“We didn’t leave them, we just arrived here earlier than they did.” I continued, easing her down. “They will be here soon don’t worry. I just texted James the address.”She just nodded in response, her eyes looking a bit drowsy as she laid on the bed. “Is it okay if she sleeps? She looks really tired,” I asked a nurse, the only one still present.Apparently, she stayed back to keep watch and ensure Val’s vitals were

    VALERIE’S POVSIX MONTHS LATER“Wah... what’s happening?”“Why isn’t the car moving anymore? Hudson!!” I screamed out his name, my breath both labored and unstable as I literally tried to hold onto anything for support. Anything at all, as long it could elevate the searing pain that seemed to tear through me at every 30 seconds.Just then, the car door flung open, presenting a very alarmed looking Hudson. “Val!” He cried out, slightly panicky at first to see me sprawled out on the back seat as I was unable to sit still anymore. “Val… love, we’re here. We’re here at the hospital; you will be fine. You will be totally fine!”“Oh God…” I moaned painfully as another wave of contraction hit me, not even letting me register the help Hudson’s hands wanted to give to me right now. Forcing me to slap him away as I cried out in pains. All I felt was pain, everything hurt!Every damned thing, and the more I stayed breathless on these back seats the crazier I became with pain. “Oh God, Huds…Hudson

    HUDSON’S POV“I’m pregnant, Hudson!” her words echoed in my ears, my mind not believing it as I stood there watching her calmly reach the living room without me.Pregnant.Did she- did she just say she was pregnant?Like pregnant, we are having a baby pregnant?“Oh my God,” I found myself muttering, a smile slowly making its way to my lips as she winked at me from her spot on the couch. “Oh my… OH MY GOD!”At my outburst she chuckled, covering her lips to hide her smiles.I didn’t even realize when I started hurrying towards her, my steps literally the fastest i had been. Like ever!And when I reached her on the couch, I just tackled her to a hug. Uncontrollable laughter leaving my lips as I turned her over that she was on my chest. Her elated chuckles filling the air, matching mine, honey brown waves cascading all over us. Longer than I even remembered but I wouldn’t have it any other way.Something else was far more important. Way more important! We were having a baby! An actual baby

    HUDSON’S POV“Mommy!!” they jumped on her all at once, her smiling face capturing my entire attention as I watched her leaned down to their level. Taking each kid in her arms and hugging tight as I they each threw themselves on her.“Mommy, you’re home!”“Mommy is home…” Miley cried shamelessly; her lips pushed to a big pout as she held on tightly to Val’s neck. “My mommy…”Val smiled bashfully, tears in her eyes as she took in the crying face of each child. Aby included. Everyone was crying right now, hugging her tightly even if they could barely fit. And she held them, a tear rolling down her cheek as she cooed softly. “Aww, my babies… my beautiful babies, aww…”Even her voice was like music to my ears, hitting me as I stood there. Barely able to stand erect without the support of the door. Good thing it was there, else I would’ve stumbled a few steps backwards at this point, and that wouldn’t have ended well.“I’m sorry. Mommy is so sorry for leaving, okay? I’m so sorry… I missed yo

    HUDSON’S POV“PLEASE!”“I’m sorry, I’m sorry Hudson! I AM SORRY!!!” her screams echoed everywhere, loud enough to wake even the dead at this point. But somehow, none of it could bring any sort of calmness to my internal turmoil.If anything, it only irritated me all the more! My nose scrunching in distaste as I glared at her overly reddish skin. It was a wonder how they weren’t pilling off at this point, it was already her fifth dip today. And I still wasn’t satisfied.Normally, coming here and hearing her scream brought me some level of satisfaction. Soothing my mind even. But somehow today, that didn’t seem to be the case. The exact opposite was happening instead. Anger, irritation, disgust, boiling hot displeasure and a really tight scowl to top it off were all I felt watching this absurd scene of her crying and pleading.“It hurts…” she sobbed, hanging breathlessly on the iron bars as visible shock waves ran through her muscles. “Please… please I’m begging you, I’m begging you Huds

    VALERIE'S POV“Just one? One heartbeat this time?” Papa inquired with a big smile, moving even closer to the screen as his teary eyes stared intently at them. The doctor just let him, chuckling even at his silliness.“Here, this is a print out of her. You can stare at her all day, sir!”“I can’t believe this, I can’t believe that bastard got you pregnant again without wasting time! Just what is he planning? To steal you away?!”Oh my goodness.His words made me to actually chuckle now as I watched him. My heart lifting, “Alright, that will be all!” The doctor announced, wiping off the jell on my belly as the smiling nurses wrapped up to go.Several do’s and don’ts were issued out for me, Nanny Beth actively taking notes too. While I just laid on the bed, relaxed with my hands wrapped around my belly. Papa just beside me, making calls to Toberto. Some excessive pregnancy routine coming up for sure, with these two warriors of mine.Looking at it now, I could actually feel a little bump f
