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"

  • The Wife He Wants Back!   Chapter 39

    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

  • The Wife He Wants Back!   Chapter 40

    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

    Hudson POV As soon as the words left the mouth of whoever was at the door, I shot up from my seat and literally ran to the door. My legs had a mind of it's own at this point, with excitement coursing through me i flung the door wide open, causing it to bang against the wall behind as I yelled, "James! Hand over the evidence!"But instead of meeting James, I came face to face with a dark haired man. What the hell? My eyebrows knitted together as I assessed the the man's work clothes. "Errhm, Sir?" The same feminine voice that announced someone was at the door said. I let my eyes drift to her, and sure enough it was that daring brunette from down the hall.What was her name again, b...Blair?...Bendy? Beth...Ugh, whatever. I had to give it her though, the woman really was persistent. She had been actively trying to get on my bed for months now, always showing up randomly at my door when Paul was not close by. Where was Paul anyway?"Sir," she called again, straightening up, her boobs

    HUDSON'S POV "Boss," he repeated, walking inside the office. "I apologize for taking so long boss, I had a bit of a err... situation..."I remained quiet, staring intensely at the nervous looking engineer seated in front of me.The man kept darting his eyes between James and I, while still holding onto his chair. "Err, boss?" James called out again, this time his tone was more skeptical. But I didn't acknowledge him.I was pretty sure I looked just about angry at this point but that wasn't the case at all. For some unknown reason my heart kept pounding loudly in my chest, Since James walked in. I had been struggling to control my quickened pulse rate, but it only seems to get worse as the brown envelope in James hand came into my line of sight.But why though? Was it excitement? I mean, I could understand if it was. I would finally be getting the info about that... that...ugh! That man, yeah, THAT man.I would be getting all the info I wanted about him. It was a thing of joy, wasn't

    VALERIE'S POV "Say you will take it, mommy. Say it," Miley whined while holding on tightly to the seat belt of the Pink Ferrari. I sighed, rolling my eyes at the eagerness of my four year old daughter that wants to go to school in a pink Ferrari. What does she even know about cars? "C'mon out, you're still in your uniform and it's probably smelly by now" I responded, moving to open the door of the car. The car was absolutely closed, with no space for even an ant to crawl in so how did she get inside with the doors closed? I mentally gauged the height of the car door and Miley's height, they weren't too far apart. So the possibility of her climbing in through the windows was very high. I sighed at the realization, "Ugh, these kids..." They just keep doing the most unusual things. I pressed the door handle and it spread open like a butterfly wing revealing an awe struck brown haired Miley. Her green eyes shun with wonder and excitement the more the door opened to it's limit, i

    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.

    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
