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

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

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 Ever since we left to the King's Hotel for the Elite Soriee event my emotions had just been all over the place. I had always considered myself an intelligent and composed person, only making decisions after a well articulated thinking process.But somehow all that flew out the window the minute I saw Valerie walk into that hall this evening. First she showed up looking like she was dressed to kill, making all the men to look at her like a meal, then she went right ahead to openly challenge Charlotte in the bid and even went further to challenge me!I had initially thought she was being her nitpicking self, begging for attention. That she wanted to use Charlotte to earn a title amongst the elite tonight, so I made sure to place the highest bid to beat her at her own game.Oh, how wrong I was. That had to be the most foolish decision I had ever taken in my entire life!I mean, how could I have been so reckless? Who places $50 trillion bid on a handbag?!I was so caught u

HUDSON'S POV I didn't even get the opportunity to appreciate the warmth and grandness of the living room before Mom's angry voice echoed in the huge mansion. "Where is he?! Is he ignoring me?"The Head housekeeper was hot on her trail, her elderly body mustering all the energy she could manage just to meet up with Mom's heavy strides. "Ma'am please, it's already late. Why don't you talk to him tomorrow, ma'am?"The house keeper's expression became more panicky the more doors Mom opened and closed in each floor, storming her way through the maids that scurried away in fear of being lashed out on.She was already on the third floor by the time I came in. I looked to the side and saw that Aunt Claire was busy having a maid serve her tea on one of the living room sofas while Charlotte sat opposite her equally sipping tea, totally unbothered.I fumed at the scene before me, what was wrong with these people?It was obvious Aunt Claire had set up mom for this charade when she knew fully we

The Wife He Wants Back! CHAPTER 313
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

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
