The Wife He Wants Back! Chapter 36
VALERIE'S POV My encounter with Hudson at the hospital aside, the day did go smoothly. Better than I expected even.First, it was confirmed Papa's health wasn't threatened with any serious alignment or worse. It was just a case of the lack of some vital vitamins a person of his age should have, nothing a few tablets couldn't handle.And even at that, he was still strong enough to lift those chubby triplets of mine. I can't even begin to explain to you how relieving the sight of all four of them strong and happy made me.The kids finally got to meet their great grandpa. The joy on their faces when he paid for their toys and ordered more food was simply exceptional. Mind you, I buy them toys, we go out to have fun and all but it just wasn't the same. They were different, it was almost like they were glad it was him that got them.I sighed and put down my phone on the bedside table before sinking back to the soft linen of my bed."I wonder how they would have felt if Mom and Dad were h

Chapter 37 VALERIE'S POV I walked in, head held high as my heels clicked against the tiled floors. Everyone immediately stood up as a sign of respect, their tension filled eyes focused on my every movement and I basked in the attention. From the corner of my eye, I noticed Aunt Barbara and Patricia never stood up. As expected, no surprise there at all but what actually got me was the account manager beside Barbara, representing De Hernandez Made-to-Order Furniture Co. He never stood up either, rather he remained nonchalantly seated. Pompously looking even as he eyed the other account manager beside Patricia, trying to force him to sit down. The young man was skeptical at first,but after a death glare from Barbara, he immediately sat down. The other account managers from different subsidiaries looked on with apprehension at my dear aunties open display of disregard. But instead of giving them what they wanted I pretended not to notice and took my seat at the head of the ta

VALERIE'S POV The whole table went silent. No one daring to speak for anyone again, even Patricia looked properly shaken up. She was most definitely not expecting me to know about the secret account.I was yet to locate the account though, but currently, knowing it's existence was just enough.My eyes landed on the account manager that didn't stand when I came in. "How about you?"He held my gaze for a few minutes and turned to glance at Barbara, as though asking for permission. She leaned in to whisper something in his ear like a four year old, something Mily would do. I snorted a laugh at the thought and gently relaxed on my seat, stirring my coffee a bit. Everyone watched in anticipation, waiting for the inevitable and finally Aunt Barbara spoke up, "We've reviewed our accounts and they are perfect. No discrepancies, you can check them out yourself." A loud bang sounded on the table causing everyone to jump as she dropped a load of files. "Rob," she called, "Give it her"I let

VALERIE'S POV I went back to my office after the meeting and started working on the stack of documents on my desk. There were so much jobs to be done. Tons of designs to approve, projects to conclude, project sites to visit and lots more. And also, let's not forget the Sky Castle project as well- Hudson's project.Argh, I don't even want to think about it. That project alone was heavy duty and it's excellence being tied to Hudson made it all the more worse.I could feel an ache coming on just from the thought of it. I sighed, putting down my pen to relax on my soft ass chair. "It's moments like this that I'm grateful I'm rich." I mean, imagine thinking about handling all these workloads without the comfort of this leather seat, "Just terrible!"I stayed like that for few minutes, enjoying the silence before finally repositioning myself to resume work. "I better get started with concrete plans for Hudson's building. The last I want is that dick head having a reason to run his mouth

VALERIE'S POV After having a light lunch at the Red Bites just like Rob had 'instructed', I headed home. There wasn't anything urgent that needed my attention at the office anyway, and besides I had already dealt with at least half of the documents on my desk. Surely, a half day off wouldn't stop the company from running now, can it? So therefore, here I was tied up in a white apron preparing dinner for the kids. It has been quite a while since I made them dinner myself, "Should I slice the vegetables, ma'am?" one of the new help asked. I turned from the boiling pot to check behind me at the sound of her voice. She quickly pointed to the bowl of carrots and "oh, I haven't done that? I will get right to it don't worry." "Please ma'am," she insisted, her voice calm but still held a sense of urgency in them. "I was sent here to work and help out. If the chairman finds out I'm doing the opposite then... I don't... I don't know what he might do to me." I sighed and took in he

Valerie's POV I stood up from the floor where I was cowering in anxiety and raced to the door with all my will power, leaving back all the dark memories that threatened to consume. Those double doors had never looked so beautiful, just standing there, shining like the key to my salvation. And finally, when I reached the handles I swung it right open, the warm breeze of the evening immediately hitting my tear stained cheeks and I slammed the door shut behind me. Trembling from both adrenaline and relief as I relaxed my back against it. Just as I thought I was safe, sharp excited screams suddenly filled the air and shook the devil out of me. "Surprise!!!" I stood frozen, my panicked eyes wide as I slowly took in the scenario in front of me. Everyone was present, Papa, Nanny Beth, the kids and even the staffs of the house, both old and new. Each person blinking excitedly at me while holding unto balloons and roses. By the side in the spacious yard was a long line of buffet, hel

HUDSON'S POV "So you see Madame, it's a win win situation. You help me, i help you." I said with a small smile and clapsed my hands on the table. I had just delivered a top notch offer on a platter of gold. An offer that would send all those old bastards who called themselves my investors crawling on the floor with greed and excitement. An offer she wouldn't get on a normal day, but instead of excitement all i met was the same expression that she had on ever since she got here, totally blank. I could understand though, a person of her caliber ought not to show weakness to anyone to avoid being taken advantage of. I applaud her skill to maintain But I was getting fed up at the same time. Time was not on my side and she knew that, so what's with all the silence? "So what do you say?" I asked, " Madame?" my tone a bit forceful. She cocked her head to the side at the change in my tone, but could you really blame me? I was the person in the position of need, I needed her on

HUDSON'S POV "You cannot do this! This should be illegal!" Cornels yelled, red veins popping on his forehead. "I can't do what exactly?" I asked calmly, a smirk playing on my lips. This dumb ass man thought he was the only one authorized to play the game, he had some nerves. The other investors had already filed out, leaving myself, Paul and red faced Cornels in the room that was used for the meeting, that obviously ended in my favour. None of the other idiots that had planned this whole coup with Cornels even dared to speak for him. Such traitorous old bastards! The minute I walked in, okay, maybe more like barging in since it was a supposed secret meeting to leave me stranded and then the assistant sent as Madame Joyce's representative appeared and announced her newest investments, every other person on the board of investors quickly switched sides in the blink of an eye. Could you believe that? If you didn't know, you would think Cornels was on drugs to even propose tha

VALERIE'S POVMy lips parted slightly at his tone, completely offended. “Why are you making it sound like I’m some evil person?” I questioned, wiping every tear on my cheek dry as I glared at him.“Well, aren’t you?” He pressed, “If you doing all this; discreetly installing cameras in my house, invading my privacy, monitoring my movements and interactions, approaching and seducing me with revenge at the center of your heart, leading me on, taking advantage of me, using me in all aspects! Sex, comfort, warmth, safety… even involving my kids in this! Making me believe… making me believe we were official, that we had a good thing going!”“We were official!” I insisted hotly, but he didn’t seem to care. “If you doing all this is not called evil, then I don’t know what else is!” He spat, “This is me that you played with! My feelings and emotions! You used my love for you against me! That’s what you did!”“Well, I didn’t ask you to fall for me, did i?” I snapped, equaling raising my voice.
The Wife He Wants Back! CHAPTER 287
VALERIE’S POV“Valerie,”One word.Just one word, my name even but right now hearing it seemed like a sentence.A death sentence.To the few seconds of my life that I had before coming into this room, the plans that I made, what I intended to do tomorrow and most of all, to the life I had recently started getting used to. A life I so badly wanted to hold on to, doing my all to ensure nothing goes wrong. Or at least not end just yet.But it seems the heavens had other plans. ‘The lying tongue must be condemned, right?’Cause I sure was starting to receive that condemnation right now. Right here, in this moment… by the blue depths fixated on me right now.“What is all this, Valerie?” His deep voice resounded in my ears, confirming I was not imagining things. That what I was seeing right now… was all real. All real, like a scene from a horror movie. And I was so not prepared.With a soft gasp, my lips parted. My legs trembling as quickly the intense realization of how bad this exact situ

HUDSON'S POVMy very house where I moved out from to be with Val!Could you believe that? I was literally staring at every nook and cranny of a house i had lived for 5 years, before finally moving out and currently about to sell off because I wanted no use of it. I wanted no memory of it.“Good lord,” I muttered, turning on my feet as I took in the entire space. Feeling more and more like a bucket of cold water had been dozed on me as several thoughts plagued my mind. My throat going dry as I blinked repeatedly, trying to make sure this wasn’t some sort of trick that my mind was doing. But it didn’t go away, none of the stuff I saw in the room; they didn’t go away. And that was when real terror engulfed my heart, my mind going into a state of panic as I looked again at the screens. Sighting everywhere the cameras covered; From the front doors, down to the living room, the kitchen, dining area, stairs… my room that Charlotte destroyed! Charlotte’s room! Aby’s even! maids’ quarters… e

HUDSON’S POVWe are advised that in everything we do in life, we should be patient, right? The patient dog gets the fattest bone! Isn’t it?How come that didn’t seem to be applicable in this situation? In this very moment where I was watching my woman with another man for heaven’s sake! In fact, it seemed like the more I stayed in my car, the more unanswered my questions became and somehow, I wanted those answers right here and right now!At least right now when both Val and that damned bastard had left the building.I couldn’t even begin to understand what they were doing. On one hand, thoughts of them together… meeting up behind my back had already plagued my mind. But on the other, I couldn’t seem to understand why they weren’t staying long inside the building. First, it was Rob that left and now, Val has also driven out!Although she did spend quite a few minutes longer compared to how fast Rob had left, but that did not stop my curiosity.Without wasting time, I jumped out of my
The Wife He Wants Back! CHAPTER 284
VALERIE’S POV“Something wrong?”I just shook my head as a no, to Rob’s question. “It’s nothing, Hudson is probably having a hard time with the kids.” I explained, it was his day at home with them. So maybe… maybe he was having a hard time.“You often say he is extremely good with the kids, what could be the problem today?” Rob pressed, voicing the exact same question that came to my mind the moment I told myself Hudson was having a hard time.Either way, I just shrugged it off and faced the matter at hand. “So, where is the money?” I asked, facing Rob and the extra person in our midst. “Mr.…”“My name is irrelevant!” The surprisingly young man spoke, “I’m just here to ensure you get your locker, and this is it. Whatever you find in there has to be what you’re looking for. This is the part where I take my leave” he concluded abruptly, giving a slight bow before leaving. Not even letting me speak further.“That was hasty,” I scoffed, facing Rob as he used the key given by Mr. ‘I do not

HUDSON’S POV“Empty,” I completed, my stance frozen at the door with James as the kids ran inside to check out the place.“Wow, mommy’s office is so cool!” Mason gushed, a proud smile on his face as he moved to her desk. The same desk that I could’ve sworn Val just complained of having so much paperwork on! Or was I imagining things now?“We are finally visiting mommy’s office. Look at all these drawings!” Miles voiced out, gaining Mason’s attention as he ran over to the left corner of the wide spaced office. Everything just screamed Valerie. From the glass walls to her dignified desk, to the couches at the center of the space, the wall papers… even the furniture! They all added up to soak in her personality, warm. Yet refined.My Val was a warm and dignified woman. A fucking female leader, who was also drop dead gorgeous even after pulling off triplets! That was my woman.And she just told me, merely few minutes ago that she was seated on that desk! With tons of paper works! But here

HUDSON’S POV“Use her to blackmail me,” I completed for her. “You were going to kidnap her, not caring how destabilized such a little girl would be to be suddenly uprooted and taken away in such manner to some God damned place! She had a mental condition for heaven’s sake, Charlotte! Your daughter was going crazy and yet you didn’t care! You didn’t value her, her wellbeing or her life! You didn’t back then and you still don’t!”“What?” she exclaimed,“You should be grateful. So, fucking grateful! That Valerie, the same woman that you are here trying to ruin her name, took your daughter in and is still currently caring for her!” I boomed, all the hatred I had for her pilling up in my chest all over again.“You don’t understand! This is all part of her plan, Huddie!” She yelled into the phone. “That bitch is only doing this to make you look at her differently! She planned it all, Hudson! She’s deceiving and manipulating you!”“Then let me be manipulated!” I thundered out, “It’s none of

HUDSON’S POV“Daddy, are we going to visit mommy now?”“Yes, sweetie!” I responded, smiling as I tapped her nose for a bit. “Daddy has finished dropping off the files and now, we can go!”She smiled happily at my words, taking my hand with her small ones as she urged me to follow her outside. The others were right out the door already, running about and giggling over what I can’t even begin to explain.“Okay, okay guys! Time to go,” I called out, gaining their attention and in no time, we found ourselves going down the elevator we used yesterday, the day before, and the day before that day!This company had definitely seen even of us this festive season, but there was nothing I could do. Schools were on holidays, but businesses weren’t! I couldn’t skip work and stay home throughout with them, even if that was the plan today.I had actually wanted to stay home today with the kids, but then… you know, Charlotte came up. And Valerie’s behaviors came up as well, and I needed to handle bot
The Wife He Wants Back! CHAPTER 280
VALERIE’S POV“This is it?”He simply nodded, smiling even as he held my gaze which confused me all the more. “I-I don’t understand,” I stated, “You said, you will give me the money, or at least tell me where it is. You would tell me where the money my uncle stole from me is kept, that’s what you said. So, then what is this?”“This is the key,” he said simply, gesturing again to the faded pink baby bottle he had placed on the table between us.Okay now I was starting to be annoyed. This cunning man was literally pissing me off right now!“Is this a joke? Or do I look like a joke to you?” I questioned bitingly; my tone sharp. “You called me. You literally BEGGED me for this deal, and now I have finally agreed, you pull this stunt?! What the actual fuck is this?!”“Woah! Calm down, will you?” He exclaimed, laughing even like my reaction was the funniest thing ever. But that was my limit. “It’s not what it looks like, Valerie. You’re so impatient! Are you also like this young man?”Rob s
