The Wife He Wants Back! Chapter 9
VALERIE POVI stared at my phone; incredulity clear in my features as my screen went off, his number disappearing from my view “What just happened?” I asked out loud and took a scan of my environment to ensure no one heard my banter with that arrogant, selfish, overbearing, ignorant… “argh! What other word can I use to describe that dick head!” I groaned, annoyed by everything.“I can’t believe he called to threaten me. What’s his problem??” Yes, I did not use my full name before but that doesn’t give him the right to question my capacity. I worked my ass off, had several late-night studies, thinking of strategies and new ideas, even while I was pregnant!I never took a day off, never took a holiday. I mean how could I? My very own family members were seeking for any possible loophole to drag me down. I couldn’t give them that satisfaction. And finally, all my efforts paid off, no one dared to question my capacity after several hit business deals, I got. But come now, some arrogant

VALERIE'S POVI just stood there, speechless. After a moment of shock, my chest started heaving up and down from the amount of adrenaline coursing through my veins. My breathe was coming out in sharp gaps and my heartbeat drummed inside my ears. I had to hold onto the stairs trails for support, otherwise I might just fall off the remaining steps of the stairs. Did I just run down the stairs like a mad woman for this? How can…how... “What the hell is going on here?!” I yelled, still fighting to calm my raged breathing while my eyes blazed in anger. They all went quiet, everyone pausing in their tracks.“Uh uh, mommy’s mad at someone,” Miles little voice sang out and he immediately dropped the pancake he was about eating. I ran my gaze over each of them, the scowl on my face deepening the more I took in the situation. A pile of pancakes stacked high up like a mountain sat on the table in the living room, strawberry and chocolate syrup was spilled all over the living room table.Mile

VALERIE POV "C’mon guys, chop chop, let's go!" I called out for the third time since I came downstairs. These kids… I’m the lady in the house, with all the makeup and normal womanly delays I somehow still end up ready before those 3. “You guys! I’m going to be late for work, come downstairs, will you?” I said, flinging my arms up in disbelief. After few moments of no reply, I decided to take more action than just standing and yelling to myself, because it seems that was exactly what I was doing, talking to myself. I moved to the kitchen island and grabbed my keys, making sure to jingle the bunch in the process, “I am leaving your asses behind,” my voice rang out, higher than before now, using the keys to make a whole lot of noise like I was opening the front door. It seemed to work too because in seconds a pair of dirty blonde hair and green eyes showed up at the top of the stairs, Miles. His green orbs searched the living room frantically and when they finally met mine in the li

VALERIE'S POV“Why will he be present? It’s our inspection, what would he do there?” I bombarded Rob with questions. Just when I thought I wouldn’t have to see that dick head Hudson at least till another meeting or something.“Erm, its his building ma’am.” Rob reminded, “And so what?”“So… he could… possibly… want to show us around,” he said slowly, picking his words as he noticed me narrowing my eyes at him. “I mean, what’s the harm in that?” he said innocently.I scowled at him; my lips pressed in a tight line. “You’re really asking me that? Really?” But he just stared blankly at me and adjusted his glasses a bit. A habit he always did whenever he got uncomfortable. I sat upright on the couch and let my eyes bore into his for few minutes until he squirmed awkwardly, and started repeatedly clearing his throat, all to avoid my gaze. “Wah? what is that? What’s wrong with your throat?” I sneered. He blinked, “Ma’am? My throat? nothing at all ma’am!” And he went ahead to cough a bit “N

Valerie's POV The air seemed to shift as the door to the posh Bentley swung open. First, his squeaky-clean black dress shoe hit the ground with a thud, and all the workers stood still, every one of them pausing in their tracks as their eyes fixed on the luxurious car with a mixture of awe and reverence. I glanced around a bit and sure enough, even Rob had paused in his tracks, his usual composure momentarily replaced by a look of wonder. Heck, even the temperature felt different. There was this commanding chill in the air, one that seemed to make the temperature to rise in anticipation, and he hadn’t even stepped out yet! Then his imposing figure stepped out, clad in a perfectly tailored gray suit that accentuated his broad shoulders and chiseled features. I found myself unconsciously suck in a breath as my eyes ran through those sinful muscles that budged as he shut the door of the car. Then our eyes met, and without warning, a shiver ran down my spine from the sheer inte

Hudson's POV"Where is she?""Where is she?!" I thundered, my voice echoing through the white-painted halls of Jubilee high schools. I shouldn't be doing this, but I can barely think straight right now. "How can a 5-year-old little girl disappear under your watch?! Just how foolish are you?"I spat angrily at the class teacher, who was cowered in a corner, eyes wide, shaking with fear like a leaf. "I-I don't know, Mr. Rodriguez," she stammered.She looked just about ready to pass out. I can't believe this spineless thing was allowed to be the teacher in my daughter's class. "Mr. Rodriguez..."The proprietress of the school called out breathlessly as she literally ran towards me from the end of the hall. "Mr. Rodri—Sir--…". A bunch of other teachers were behind, all of whom looked equally panicked.They better be, because my child is missing! As soon as she came within range, she slowed down and tried to compose herself while still breathing heavily. "We're so sorry for...I cut her off

Hudson's POV The next few days were a blur of Charlotte trying to coax me into talking things through, but I remained resolute, spending more and more time at the office.To the outside I was mad at Charlotte but deep inside of me I knew what I was truly avoiding- that persistent thought that kept resurfacing again and again in my mind despite the workload. Who the hell would Valerie bring as a date? Some wealthy, older man, no doubt, who she could easily manipulate. Not my concern anyway, yet the thought lingered. There was still the issue with Charlotte that I had to deal with, and occasionally, I'd feel a glimmer of willingness to smoothen things over, but then the memory of Abrielle alone in the empty school yard would surface on my mind and reignite my anger all over again. Charlotte even went ahead to enlist my Mom's help, which is why I found myself standing in front of the house, taking a lecture on 'peaceful living' instead of actually getting into the car. I was already

Hudson's POVCan't they keep their eyes to themselves?! And why in heaven's sake was she dressed like that?! I was seething with frustration, could barely stay calm on my feet whereas, she was busy moving about without a care in the world. My mind raced with disbelief as she approached a small group of expensive dressed elderly women, the Capitalists! It was rumored that those women secretly ran the governments and she … she knew them? Her smile was radiant, sparkling with excitement as she hugged them affectionately. This was unbelievable. She moved on greeting more people, her every stride filled with grace and confidence, intensified by the mesmerizing glow that shun on her face from the lights hitting her jewelry. She was effortlessly commanding attention, and I couldn't help but follow her every move. Realizing I was staring, I quickly cleared my throat a bit and took a drink from a server passing by. Before I could take a sip, my eyes acted on its own and found her again, fo

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

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

Hudson’s pov“She’s lying to you, Huddie!”“She’s a liar and it’s all her fault everything went south between us! She did it all, and admitted them to you right before I got arrested! That’s why I couldn’t get to you on time, to explain myself and everything that happened. You didn’t visit me either! How could I have told you all these before now?!”“Visit you?” I sneered, “Visit you?! You?! Have you gone mad?”“Yes I have gone mad! I’ve gone crazy but you need to listen to me, Huddie. You need to-And that was the end. I ended the call. Again!This was the literally her fourth attempt in reaching me just for today, and I have never been more angry at myself for letting it happen. “Did you get the signal?” I asked, turning to face James as he lifted his head up from the system seated right in front of him.And then one word, “No boss,” He said, and immediately cuss words flew out of my lips in anger.“Dammit!”“Fucking crazy bitch! How are we unable to track her location?!”“She proba

HUDSON’S POV“So what do you do here, Mr. Voss?”“Do you build the houses or you design them?”“Or do you just work for my daddy,” The questions kept coming, not once relenting or waiting for a proper response either. They just… questioned away!Totally my kids. You could literally trust them to explore their curiosity to the limits, any day and anytime! And sadly, today just happens to be one of those days. “You’re really quiet to be working for my daddy,” Miley said, her eyes curious as she stepped even closer to the nerdish looking young man. Who seemed very uncomfortable right now, at least from where I stood on the third floor watching this drama unfold.Why did James have to pick this particular guy was beyond me. I mean, there were so many other person’s present that the kids could actually be able to explore the environment with, why did it have to be this timid looking person?“Could you be working for my daddy because you’re so quiet, Mr. Voss?”“He has to be doing something
The Wife He Wants Back! CHAPTER 277
CHARLOTTE’S POV“Okay! I will tell you.”“Oh, you will now?” I sneered loudly, “Scared of a few sticks with spikes now, Katie? You scared?”She merely moved away at my words, her eyes shifty and most definitely judgmental as she scanned the stupidly half built house that Raymond could find for this operation. The only place that he could find that is. But at least, it was safe from both the cops that currently had a warrant for me, and Hudson, that he seemed to fear now more than anything. But all of these aside, something about Kate’s attitude just irked me all the more as i watched her with distaste.“Kate,” I called calmly, my disposition a typical example of the calm before the storm. But i didn’t give a shit! My eyes were simply trained on her, on Kate. My prey… and probably what i needed to get some sort of control over my life at this point.Kate remained mute at my voice, not heeding my call like she would do previously when things weren’t this way. When things hadn’t gotten

VALERIE’S POV“Still staring at it, hm?”“Yeah…” I found myself mumbling softly, a faint smile on my lips as Nanny Beth’s soft chuckles drifted to my ears.“I think that’s allowed!” She commented, “With a band so shiny? I would stare at it all day long!”I guess it was my time to chuckle as well, judging from her playful comments. And so I did, smiling as I turned to face her on the kitchen island. The silence of the house embracing us since the kids were out today visiting Hudson’s office for the very first time ever.It was the holidays for them but most definitely not for Hudson or me either. The office work had to continue and so he went to work. Taking the kids with him to let me have some peace since I decided to take an extra day off, just signing some paper works here at home. A system that would work very well, just as soon as I manage to stop myself from continuously staring at the ring Hudson got for me, while smiling sheepishly for no damn reason!Gosh! It was ridiculous r
The Wife He Wants Back! CHAPTER 275
CHARLOTTE’S POV“This lady cannot be discharged just yet, just look at her!”Silence followed after those very words, and in no time, I felt eyes on me despite my eyes still fully shut and drowsy from whatever those nurses gave to me. “Hmm,” Another voice sighed loudly, and in no time I knew it was one of the cops that came with me. “Doc look, we understand that she looks critical and all, but you also need to understand that we need to take her back! She can’t stay here until she’s well! That’s not part of the rules.”Rules my foot! What kind of rule allows me to be assaulted and yet, does not permit treatment.“I don’t know about all that,” The doctor responded, his tone serious. “But what I do know is that this woman here needs rest! She doesn’t LOOK critical, she IS critical. And if you take her back tonight you will be basically sentencing her to permanent fractured ribs, and even brain tumors in the nearest future! She just had surgery to stop a bleeding in her brain for heaven’
