The Wife He Wants Back! Chapter 53
VALERIE'S POV My heart had to be next worst organ living in my body, right after my hairless skin pores. Like I literally had almost zero to no hairs on my skin! You would have to look closely to be able to detect any, that's if they were even there in the first place. And as for the life pump in my chest, all it does is to betray me every single time when it's cooperation is just needed. Like seriously, Hudson was the enemy. That fact is well known in body, soul, spirit, mind... you name it! So tell me, why is this damned heart of mine skipping beats just cause of a glance at our supposed enemy, instead of standing solid on our agreed resolve. Why? If this isn't betrayal, what else is it? I sighed deeply, getting ready to launch more complaints in my mind when a voice snapped me right out of it, "Hey! I was just trying to help!" I blinked, my brain registering my environment in a jiffy as I looked up at Rob's amused face and back to an... angry looking James? Before final

Valerie pov My confusion deepened as Hudson swiftly pulled out a chair from a nearby table to ours, invading my personal space. I quickly swallowed the water in my throat to stop him in his tracks and that was where it all went wrong. The water immediately clogged my throat, forcing a good measure of it into the wrong hole down my throat. My eyes bugged as a fit of coughs and gasping followed immediately, "Careful! You're going to get yourself hurt!" Hudson boomed and sprung up from his chair like a mother hen to get me a napkin. If my throat didn't feel like it were literally set on fire, I would have knocked down a couple of glass cups from the sheer force of his shouts. In seconds he was by my side, panicking and easing down gentle pats on my back while dapping every water droplet on my face. To say I was surprised by this whole display would be an understatement. Girl, I was stunned! He was just busy fuzzing over me, coupling my cheeks, feeling my temperature...like...l

VALERIE'S POV *Knock at the door* for some seconds, and a black haired young girl poked in, "ma'am?" I raised my head from my laptop to the angle the voice came from, smiling as I noticed it was the same girl from the IT department that I met earlier. "We're all set for you ma'am, at the conference room." She said, smiling gently. My ears perked up at her words, "Oh! Right!" I immediately moved to stand up but then I remembered the thing I kept on my desk, so I sat back down. "One minute please." I called out to the girl before going ahead to mumble absentmindedly as I shuffled through several paperworks on my desk. "I, ugh... I just need to... Erm..." I paused for a second, realizing what I was doing and quickly stole a glance at the door and sure enough she was still standing there, watching me. The moment our eyes met she smiled nervously, making me smile too before I resumed searching for it. This time more seriously and further off the desk. "Where is it... Where is... Wh

HUDSON'S POV Will it be strange if I said seeing my ex-wife was like a breath of fresh air?You know, like that feeling of when you've been stuck underwater for so long and then you finally get pulled out, the air rushing into your lungs suddenly feel so delicious that you could taste it? That's the feeling right there!I couldn't believe it honestly. Everything was happening so fast, I could hardly keep up with these new emotions going on inside of me these days. But one thing was clear though, 'I'm attracted to my ex-wife, Valerie.'Yes, that's what it was. Attraction.I maybe ignorant on some matters because I didn't want the burden that came with it but I wasn't a fool. I knew myself and behaviors better than anything, lying to oneself is like petting an open wound. You're too scared to apply gauze on it cause of the pain you might receive but at the same time, you give the injury space to be infected and eventually rot on that part of your body. Same thing with lying to yourse

HUDSON'S POV Huh?Unable to reach contact? "It's probably network issues, try again" James offered and I nodded in agreement, dialing the number again. "Network these days have been messy..." James voice faded as we listened to it ring after dialing."Sorry, you're unable to reach this contact please try again later. Thank you," Same robotic reply sounded through and we shared a knowing look.But instead of saying the thought that was already on both our minds, James said instead. "Maybe it's your phone, there's probably no signal in it. Try your other phone,"I heaved a breath and picked up my other phone beside a pile of documents on the table. My fingers felt heavy as I scrolled through a bunch of other unsaved numbers seeing as it was my business phone. I didn't save hers too but somehow I just knew which was hers and I dailed it.After spending nights upon nights in the darkness of my home office, with my fingers hovering over that very number, to dial it and hear her voice for

VALERIE'S POV "What the hell is wrong with this idiot?!" I questioned aloud, glaring at my phone for even letting the call go through. I should block this number as well, why is he even calling me?"So what if I blocked his lines?! It's my phone and my choice, I can do whatever I want with it!" I yelled at the phone, before moving to block the number he used to contact me while cussing under my breath,"Distasteful ignorant jerk ass!" So disrespectful and unapologetic about his actions that day at lunch, rather he wanted to use the same move again! Twice! "Not on my watch! What does he even think of me, huh? That I'm so dumb and foolish not to notice that he's trying to play smart?! Humph! Some intelligent man he is, Mama Joyce you're wrong I tell you!"This nigga is dumb as hell! And I'm done letting Dick heads like him have access to me. There, blocked! Let's see the next number you will use, partner," I sneered and turned my screen off, just in time to hear a deep throat clearing

VALERIE'S POV 4:55 PM, At Papa's house It has been a couple of hours since I switched off my phone to stop the incessant phone calls from that dick head Hudson, picked up the kids from school and even enjoyed lunch together before we headed for the 'family meeting' that was to be held right here, at the Hernandez Estate.The minute we arrived, Papa had immediately left me to the dogs using the kids as excuse. Last time I checked, they were enjoying fruits at the pool side just by the other side of the mansion. And so therefore, I was forced to 'bond' with my amiable aunties and uncle.Note the sarcasm there. The murderous stares I was receiving right now were farrrr from amiable, I'm telling you.Infact, just staring at them sent all the wrong type of signals to my brain. Signals that I should only be having when I'm faced with a serial killer, all my brain wanted me to do was run and hide. Just like I had always done when I was younger.It was unbelievable that the people I should

VALERIE'S POV Patricia's words seemed to catch Papa's ears though, cause he turned to face her, his gaze cold. "Oh? That means you lot don't help to ease her burdens, do you?" He asked, holding each of their gazes one by one. "No papa, we do!" Patricia argued, slightly touching his arm cause their seats were much closer than the rest of us. "Then why are you here laying foolish complaints instead of dealing with those arrogant employees that you employed?! Are trying to drag the company to the ground?" Patricia gasped at his words, pulling back her fingers. "Huh? Answer me!" He spat angrily, causing Patricia to jump in fright. "You better check your phone's, check the news, crosscheck with all your lame as connections! All the staffs you organized for that stupid protest are currently relaxing in jail! Jail Barbara, jail!" Papa spat, his tone mocking. All three of them shared weary glances before immediately reaching for their phones. "So you did it?" Papa asked, looking at all

HUDSON'S POVWith one last exhale to calm the nerves, “I apologize.” I said, “I apologize for showing up on your property without an invite. For continuously trying to barge my way through every time i came here… I have thought about it all through my time out at your entrance and it truly doesn’t sound good.”“So, you do realize that, hm?” He mocked calmly, keeping his eyes trained on me.“Though my means was and still is wrong at the moment, but my reason for this is truly urgent.” I explained, “I am here today, because I am guilty man! A man that has done you wrong and simply disregarded you all these years, especially after finding out that things weren’t as I assumed. I have… I have hurt your daughter. Your granddaughter, Valerie. I hurt her, I abandoned her and totally neglected her when we were married!”“Oh? So, you married her?” He sneered, the distaste in his tone clear. “You married a daughter of mine without my knowledge?!”“Yes!” I confirmed, taking the bull by the horns.
The Wife He Wants Back! CHAPTER 250
HUDSON’S POV“I’m sorry sir, but the chairman is currently resting and won’t be able to see you.” The elderly man who I assumed was the chief butler of the mansion addressed me. His words, not surprising at all seeing as they were literally the exact words he used on me a few weeks back.Ever since I had officially gotten back together with Val after our last issue over housing arrangements, I had made it a point to reach out to her family. To get to know them, introduce myself and let them know I would be taking responsibility for my kids and Valerie seriously. Unlike how I had behaved 5 years ago.5 years ago, I wasn’t even aware Val had a family. That she had people, or even ones as powerful and commanding as the Hernandez backing her… I was clueless and quite foolish, as I have let you all know by now. But I couldn’t continue to be like that.I couldn’t continue to make up excuses and not take responsibility for my actions, especially as now, I badly wanted to be with her. Making

HUDSON’S POV“Son,”“I know you must be terribly mad at me right now; you don’t even want to listen to me explain any thing to you. But… I just want to say that I am sorry. I am so sorry for everything!”“I feel ashamed, disgusted with myself and completely embarrassed that I did all these things as your father. It wasn’t right, it was wrong on so many levels and I should have put a stop to it before it got to this extent. I shouldn’t have given in and let them use me, let them play you like this…it is all my fault. All my fault! My selfishness and desire to keep a clean slate without letting everyone know what I had gotten into pushed me even more to do this despicable thing! I-I am terribly sorry son. I am…so sorry. I’m so sorry!” He pleaded, his voice breaking a bit as he addressed me from his position on the floor. Where Mom had left him.I had thought yesterday was a lot, but honestly, today was even worse!So much worse that I almost wished these whole happenings were just a dre

“But it was what pushed me.” Gregory insisted. “That was the genesis of all my wrong decisions! I took your heritage, gambled and lost it! I tried to get them back and got into more debt! Tried some more and got into more and more debts! Which was why when Drake approached me, I took his bait! Without even thinking! Why?! Because I didn’t want to ruin things between us, Amelia. I didn’t want to totally lose relevance in my father’s eyes and most definitely not in my son’s eyes! Hudson was all I had left. I couldn’t bear to become a disappointment to him, so I did it!”“I settled all my debts and everything but what I didn’t realize was that Drake wouldn’t take back money as payment. Instead, he wanted me to marry his daughter-Charlotte. That was where I met her. I couldn’t of course, I had a wife and a son almost Charlotte’s age, how could I do such a thing?!”“Good heavens!” Grandpa exclaimed, banging the arm of his chair as he stood up abruptly. Fury burning within him as he paced a

CHAPTER 247“Drake,” Hudson repeated, his deep voice vibrating in the air as he spoke for the very first time. “How do you know, Drake?”Gregory’s eyes widened in surprise at that question. Realizing what was supposed to be his quiet thought had been voiced out instead, even reaching the others of the others in the living room!Everyone’s eyes were on him. Zooming in on him and filling him with dread as he swallowed, hard. “You just mentioned Drake,” Hudson repeated, this time his voice even more firm. “How do you know him? Why did you mention him and what does he have to do with this recording?”“I- err-I-” Gregory stammered,“Answer me!” Hudson blasted. His sudden anger startling everyone, but it was to be expected. He hadn’t confronted Gregory ever since everything that happened at the hospital. His anger was justified. But even at that, Amelia couldn’t help but cut in.“But who is this, Drake?” She questioned with confusion, seemingly feeling whoever that was could not possibly be

THIRD PERSON POVIt’s been less than 24 hours since the Rodriguiez mansion received the rude awakening that they had yet another family member and ever since, peace has seized to exist in the family mansion!Angry yellings and explanations bounced off their walls, multiple times at night and even continuing the next morning. And even until this moment!“Throw it out!” Amelia yelled at a confused maid.“Keep it down! I said keep it down!” Gregory instructed, countering Amelia’s order. Leaving the maid even more confused and slightly worried for her own safety as she looked between the couple.Or should I say, ex-couple.“Amelia, please. Let’s talk like grown adults! We don’t need to be like this, please” Gregory pleaded, repeating the words he had been saying since yesterday. But those very words seemed to drive Amelia even more mad with anger! So much that she charged at the maid, grabbing the set of clothes in her hands and threw them downstairs by herself.“I said, GET HIS FUCKING BA

VALERIE’S POV“I did it all for you, Huddie!”“It was all for you. Because I loved you and still do!” Charlotte cried out, her voice raw with emotion like she wasn’t the one spewing shit just a moment ago. Gosh! This woman… I would never understand her, never!“I love you, Huddie. Let’s start all over, please” She pleaded, sniffling back her tears as she moved to his direction. But instead, all she got was cold shoulder from Hudson as he walked right past her, like she was nothing in his eyes. “The only person I need to start all with is my woman who I abandoned because of how foolish I was. Next to her, you’re simply insignificant and that’s all you will ever be!”Woah‘Look at that nonchalance people! That man is so done with her ass!’And he doesn’t know the full story yet! Hahaha!“Amelia?”“Amelia! Sweetheart please, let’s talk. I can totally explain! I can-“GET. YOUR. HANDS. OFF ME!” Amelia declared; her eyes murderous as they spat fire at Gregory. He refused at first but after

HUDSON’S POV“Wah…what is she talking about?”“What is she talking about, Gregory?!” Mom’s voice bounced off in the air, further sinking in Charlotte’s words into my mind.“I don’t-i-Amelia listen” Dad tried to explain, gently taking mom’s hands. “I have no idea what she is-“You have no idea what I’m saying?” Charlotte cut in; her tone irritated. “You have no idea about the fact that we’ve been meeting up at hotels behind her back?! That you’ve been sleeping with me? or that Abrille is actually your daughter and not my Huddie’s?! What exactly is confusing you, Gregory? Or are you just trying to make me look stupid?!”“What?!” Mom exclaimed; her expression crowned with the exact same feeling of disbelief that I felt watching this entire show!A show! That’s what’s happening here!A fucking show for the premieres!“You…”“You…Greg… what?!” Mom shrilled again, disgust filling her bones as she immediately moved out of dad’s hold. “What th- you…Haha! This is a joke! A one big joke! What t

Valerie that stood by the side blinked back her tears a few times, her eyes feeling heavy from watching the actual videos and hearing grandpa silently sob in front of the TV screen. Even Amelia seemed shaken by it all. Most of those videos… she vividly remembered fighting against those accusations on Charlotte. She remembered even throwing a few people out of the house simply because she believed they were just ganging up against Charlotte when they knew she had no one and could barely stand up for herself as a result of her weak body.Little did she know… little did she know!You would think it was all over after going through so many videos, watching so many anger provoking scenes… but Hudson went further, wanting to see it all for himself! Wanting to see for himself the continuous wicked sneer Charlotte had on her face in every single scene!As though to convince himself that there was no redemption for her, she wasn’t confused when all these happened. They were all deliberate and
