The Wife He Wants Back! Chapter 56
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

Chapter 61VALERIE'S POV All throughout the ride home, my mind kept buzzing with what Papa had said. My boyfriend?How could Papa even think that?!I had three kids. Three 4 year olds to take care of plus a company! What time do I have to think about men?Pfft! Just ridiculous!Flashback to before the ride*****"Hey, what's wrong?" Papa asked, his cheesy smile instantly morphing to worry in a minute."Something up with your belly? Is it the juice?" He asked further as I slowly reduced to a moaning mess to the ground.The juice? Of course he would think it was the juice, and not what his information was doing to me. I couldn't even believe it. But I wasn't so concentrated on my phone earlier, or was I?Ugh, good heavens! I probably was.All those times I kept checking my phone, every notification or buzz, just to catch Hudson at the game he was playing.I had been blocking every line he used to call, hell I had been blocking every number a call came through with. I didn't even check i

VALERIE'S POV Huh? I blinked a few times, to make sure I wasn't seeing things, that my brain was not making up scenes that weren't even there to begin with or worse, wrongly interpreting the contents of an innocent message but guess what?Those words still remained there. Unchanging and most definitely the exact way I read them a minute ago. "Take your time and go through your notifications, cause I'm just getting started with your fine ass"Fine ass?Wh...whose fine...fine ass?Me? As in... Me fine ass??An involuntarily scoff left my lips the more I analysed the text. I couldn't help the baffled expression that now graced my features. Hell, I couldn't even fully grasp the implications of those words.Did he even realize who he was sending this -Okay, hold on. Just hold on, let's not jump to conclusions now shall we? Let's take this logically,First of all, who would even send me such a text? And at the middle of the night at that. I checked the time on my phone and sure enoug

VALERIE'S POV I woke up the next day to an empty house and the scent of a very much mouth watery lunch. Yes, lunch. I woke up unbelievably late today, like 2 pm in the afternoon kind of late. And you know what else I woke up to? Messages!Tons of them! All from Hudson.He had been trying to convince me to meet up with his Grandpa throughout the night and this morning. From the messages, after I dropped my phone last night , he had sent about 6 to 7 messages that went without replies before he stopped.I guess it finally dawned on him that I had gone to bed. But that didn't stop him though, cause he resumed again this morning, dropping more and more messages. There should be at least almost 90 unread messages all from Hudson.He just wasn't giving up. At first he was being forceful and seemingly intimidating but when he saw it wasn't getting any reaction out of me, he opted for much nicer words, pleading even.The very last ones I read was what resulted to this dull ache that was cu

VALERIE’S POV“That’s it? If that’s the issue then you don’t have to worry at all!” His voice sounded seriously as he turned me to face him.“I got you! You and our kids! You don’t need to worry about their birthday this time, you’ve been doing it alone for 4 years. Let me handle it this time, let us handle it together this time. Me and you, us…”Us…The small smile that appeared on my lips at those words couldn’t be helped at all. It was almost on instinct, automatic even. “Now, here’s what I think about the Christmas celebration… I wrote it all down, look!”“On this part we would have the Christmas celebration and, on this part, will be the birthday itself”“Only family are invited, right?” I added, joining in on his plans as we checked out everything.“Yup! Only family is invited.” He concurred seriously, “We’ve been through a lot of surprises this year, but the kids still need to see the family all together and complete. Mine and yours, and I will handle it all, don’t worry. Now o

CHAPTER 266VALERIE’S POVLeaving Papa’s house didn’t exactly feel like all the usual times. All the usual times where I had come to just talk with him, or go strolling or even delivered good news! Or even dropping off the kids with him. All of that ended on good notes, happy notes… except today.The moment I left, sitting at the backseat as the driver drove out of the yard and back to the familiar estate that housed my place, I finally felt what was like to leave home. To leave that bubble created by a parent or guardian. Which was funny cause this was not the first time I left him.I had long been leaving home, especially that year when I married Hudson. So just imagine how long that is, plus all the time I had spent out of the country with three kids! for five years of my life.So you see, having this sudden feeling that I had finally moved out felt be confused. But at the same time tensed. Especially anytime my words to papa concerning my situation with Hudson replayed in my head.
The Wife He Wants Back! CHAPTER 265
VALERIE'S POV“You really have not thought of ending things, have you?” Papa’s voice filtered into my ears; his concern crystal clear. Even before I looked up to his face, his worried eyes earnestly hoping I wouldn’t utter the wrong words. The words even I, myself couldn’t believe I was about saying. But still, “I want to stay with him” I said finally, my voice soft as I took in Papa’s downcast look.“Pumpkin, no. No!” He disagreed weakly, his shoulders sagging as he retreated in his seat. His worried reaction broke my heart, I could tell just how concerned he was for me. “Papa,”“No. Don’t do it,” he insisted softly, blinking back a bit of tears that now swarm in his eyes. Breaking my heart further as I watched him. “You’re going to get hurt. You’re going to get hurt, Valerie. He is going to leave you again; he won’t take it from you. He won’t!”“Papa… I know, I know I sound crazy right now but… I still want to try.” I pleaded softly, “I-I don’t to end things. I don’t want to.” His ey

VALERIE’S POV“Hmm, so that’s what happened!”“Things really got out of hand like that and yet, you didn’t mention a thing to me!” He scolded, frowning as he faced me. “I didn’t even know anything and I just let you be. What if something had gone wrong? Or that wicked woman had gotten something on you and turned the tables even before you realized?”A deep sigh left my lips at his words, my shoulders sagging. “What if she had managed to turn everything on you and that man of yours believes her again like before?! You were too reckless, Pumpkin! Too reckless!”“That wouldn’t have happened, Papa! C’mon, I’m not that stupid!” I complained, sighing as i tried to remain calm as possible rather than get flustered by all his accusatory questions. But the truth was that, the disapproving look painted on his features right now was not helping. “Pa, I had everything under control and-“It was all part of your plan?” He offered, his tone mocking as he cut me off. “It was all part of the plan an

HUDSON'S POV“I can’t believe this!” Aby praised, smiling brightly too.“Better start to! Cause it’s all ours now! It’s our new home!” Mason squealed, jumping around with Miley as they screamed in delight.Wow, Mason was squealing with Miley! Now, that was new.Hahaha! He always complains of how noisy Miley was and yet today, here he was doing the exact same thing he normally complains about! And with her of all people! Hahaha!“You like it?” I called out, smiling and they eagerly nodded.“Yes! I can’t wait to tell Papa all about this!” Mason responded eagerly, mirroring his sibling’s reaction.“Really?! Then I can’t wait until you see your rooms!” I said, and immediately dramatic gasps filled the air. Excited squeals following after as I chuckled before leading the way. Taking the elevator instead of the stairs.“The 3rd floor?” Miles asked, watching as I pulled back from the button.“Yes my boy! Your rooms are on the third floor, Nanny Beth and the maids are on the second, while mom

HUDSON’S POV“Woah”“Look at all these buildings…” Miles mumbled softly; his green eyes wide with wonder as he stretched to look around despite been locked in place by the seatbelt in the backseat. “They are so tall! So tall… are they connected to the sky?”At his words, the others joined in stretching just a bit. Shuffling in their positions as they looked around, “Daddy, look! That one looks like a star!”A chuckle left my lips at the comment, a proud unwavering smile lingering on my features as I took in the sheer serenity and excellence of the environment, while my gaze flickered ever so often to the rear-view mirror so I could get a clear picture of the wonder in their eyes. Every one of them had their eyes wide as they stared out the car windows, curiosity swimming in their depths.Now I know how big of a mistake I have been making all this time that I haven’t taken them to my office or even to any one of our sites. I should’ve done so at least once! That way I would have seen j

HUDSON’S POV“Wow!”“Wowww!“WOWWWWW!” the kids gushed dramatically, their voices echoing all over the place as big smiles graced their faces. Causing everyone present to chuckle in delight and Aby to smile shyly as she concluded her final walk therapy for the day. Her every step slower than her usual steps but it was still a progress compared to not moving at all!And the kids were most supportive, simply ecstatic just watching her!“Amazing! You can walk now, Aby! You can walk now!” Miley gushed cheerfully, her happiness clear and very much contagious. Just as she had been ever since hearing Aby speak last night. A very eventul night might I add, we barely had any sleep at all! As the kids wouldn’t stop asking series of questions over and over and over again.They were surprised, that much was obvious. But above all, it was the sheer happiness they displayed that really got me. Their innocence and just pureness of heart… it was truly amazing. Just as I had thought, and even better!
The Wife He Wants Back! CHAPTER 260
HUDSON’S POV “I will- I will take care of you. I will take care of you Aby, you can stay with me! You can live with me, even if your mommy doesn’t want you!” her voice sounded softly. But yet, with just the right amount of sincerity, that had my head swiping up at her with wide eyes. Because I knew. I knew the very implications of her words.I understood them all!Even she did, but yet… here she was. Her eyes teary as she knelt to Abrille’s height, a child that wasn’t even hers or had anything to do with her in any way! She was here, holding her hands, holding the world for her as she uttered words that no woman I knew would ever say.Not after understanding everything that she had experienced ever since our paths crossed.“I want you, okay? I want you, Abrille Rodriguiez.” She continued softly, “Even your daddy wants you too! Miley wants you, so do Miles and Mason! And grandpa! We all want you, Aby. We love you, and we want you. We are right here and you can also come to my room too
The Wife He Wants Back! CHAPTER 259
HUDSON’S POV“Val? “Valerie!” I called out, my heart throbbing in my chest as my mind went on an overdrive. It was the same thing. The exact same thing that happened that day! That day when the accident occurred and I was too late to stop it!It was happening again; Val’s call, talked about Aby and then-“Oh God!” I breathed, my legs moving on their own accord and before I knew it, I was storming out of my office and down the hallway! Heading for the elevator!If only this thing could move faster!“Argh! Move dammit!” I cussed harshly, pressing on the down button more than necessary. Just so I could get down faster. To which I eventually did, just after wasting nearly 2 minutes of precious time!The drive, like that day was swift. Like really swift and probably dangerous as well for anyone that was on the road but, I had to do it. It was the only way to get home faster and I so wanted to do just that. I didn’t want a repeat of the last incident when I was several hour
