VALERIE'S POV

The drive to the office didn't take so long that in about 40 minutes time I was already inside De Hernandez Dreamz building and heading for my office while nodding to the series of greetings I received.

I was seriously considering changing my office or at least the route to my office, because the amount of greetings and attention I get each time I came in was alarming. It was almost as if everyone knew when exactly I was coming and position themselves to be in my face.

I get it though, everyone was currying favour and all but then, I would love to keep my schedules private. Who knows, I might end up seeing something that I wouldn't see on a normal day because they were not expecting me.

I should talk to Rob about it. Speaking of Rob, I didn't see him in his office as I passed to mine.

I was about to wonder where he went until I opened the door of my office and an all too familiar scent of a coco cologne hit my nostrils, it could only belong to him. I took a deep inhale

Yeah.. both men were incomparable as one wasn’t there to protect yet cheated and betrayed you in the past while another was almost always there to protect and save you in times of needs . So hell with looks which wasn’t trustworthy

  • The Wife He Wants Back!   Chapter 100

    VALERIE'S POV "That's kidnapping Nana," I replied with a light smile, "But what do you mean that I'm going to the event, I don't remember informing you i was attending. And as a matter of fact, I won't be attending but why are you even attending in the first place? You don't have a child that goes there""What do you mean you're not attending?" She asked sharply, "All parents whose child attend that school will be present. All of them, this is the best time to mingle with the parents of your children's friends. Get to know them and see what sort of people they are, whether to cut them off from your children's lives or get closer to them. Believe it or not, you will need people with kids around the age of yours. It helps I tell you, take it from me." She explained, her words giving me a new dimension of the whole event."Besides, there will be a lot of shows and activity presented by the kids. I'm sure your kids are excited already, you better take your ass there! And besides, if you

    HUDSON'S POV "You're really not going to call her, Boss?" James asked for the third time today after I told him to stop asking how the phone call with - You know who- went.I didn't even want to mention her name at this point, I felt too foolish to do it. Ashamed even, cause there I was, so busy making plans to be meeting a woman that didn't give a shit about me while my daughter was dieing in silence, all alone.I was so preoccupied with thoughts about Her that I didn't realize my daughter was struggling that bad. I mean, I knew something was up with Aby but I didn't know what exactly.I felt like it was something her mom could talk to her about it but Charlotte had to be the most dumb, self centered and foolish mother I had ever come across!I didn't even realize that there were mother's like Charlotte until we had Aby.But thinking about it all with a clear mind, we really were bad parents. Both myself and Charlotte. We were horrible parents, all caught up in our own lives and de

  • The Wife He Wants Back!   Chapter 102

    HUDSON'S POV I took a moment to actually look at her though, her short black hair that was styled in some sort of beach wave kind of thing as it hanged loosely around her shoulders, coupled with her complete white outfits, a top & trouser, and topped off with a cream colored shawl wrapped around her shoulders. She looked modest and at the same time elegant, despite her age. Only Mom could pull off such a look, she looked good."So my end point is that you two are a team, no one can afford to loose the other player. At least not right now, not now that Abrille has this condition. You need to -"So she told you that, huh?" I interrupted calmly, my gaze fixed on her features to make sure I read every one of the emotions that crossed her face. She pursed her lips at my question and swallowed gently before speaking, "Yes, she told me. She-"Did she also tell you her role in all of this?" I cut her off again, adjusting on my seat as i got serious. It was high time I put an end to this conv

    VALERIE'S POV "Are you sure about this, Valerie?" Nana asked for at least the third time today. "You haven't practiced for a very long time, plus you had kids too. Don't you think this is a bit of a stretch?" Anyone could sense the worry in her tone and I totally understood her concerns but I had already made up my mind to do this so I must see it to the end."Which is why I'm here practicing, isn't it Nana?" I responded and paused to catch my breath for sometime. Sweat dripped down the side of my face, tiny baby hairs that escaped the bun on my head glued to my forehead from all the rigorous bodily movements I had subjected myself to for the past 40 minutes at a stretch. This was probably the 5th round of dancing that I had done since I arrived at Nana's estate this morning and girl! I had never felt so alive!Don't get me wrong, my lungs were literally killing right now, my throat was all patchy and begging for even a the smallest drop of water but still, I had this insane feeling

    Third person POV *****Night of the show The stage was set up with big bright lights flashing down to give the audience a clear view of the presenters currently on stage. And right at the center were ten young dancers, completely dressed up for the role that were presenting. Each of them, not looking more than six years of age."We rock! Hurray!" They echoed in perfect sync and froze in their positions, the music in the background stopping almost immediately as everywhere fell dead silent. But then a moment later the sea of parents burst into cheers and applause, their delighted whistles piercing the air causing the young performers to grin excitedly before breaking free in their poses. Their innocent eyes sparkling with excitement and in the spur of the moment, a tiny dancer squealed, "Mommy! I did it!" spotting her mother in the front row. "Yeah, That's my girl!" The lady exclaimed, with as much enthusiasm flashing her personal camera wildly at the littke girl and the cro

    Third person POV *****Night of the show And that she did. Cause just like other men, the man in front beside Hudson held his seat in pure anticipation, his eyes hungrily fixated on the woman's hip movement, not wanting to miss any moment of it, totally disregarding his wife. Then the music swelled, taking a sharper note, and instantly the woman spun around, facing the audience, the skirt of her bloody red dress shuffling from her movements as she revealed her face. Smokey green eyes first came into view, quickly followed by a flawless makeup and red bold lips. Her luscious hair was styled up in a classic side-parted sleek bun on her head, adorned by a single gold hairpin that seemed to shimmer under the dim lights of the stage, alongside het other jewelry. The audience held their breaths as the woman's bold looks came into view, the huge TV screens in the hall quickly picking it up and showcasing her to all. Everyone had one or two reasons to gasps out loud, if not for the

    THIRD PERSON POV ****At the dinner after the show The sounds of glass clicking filled the air as the environment buzzed with light conversations and laughter, warm breeze moving gently in the space, probably due to the trees in the school grounds. But regardless, most will say it was a welcomed change from the heavily air conditioned hall they had just left about 30 minutes ago. True to the proprietress words, a dinner was specially organized after the show for the parents. Nothing too grand, just a few meals to warm the tongue and enough champagne to wash it all down but still, the chairs arrangement remained in the order of relevance to the school. A rooftop space was used to host the dinner. Several round tables that had already been decorated with white tablecloths filled the space, the color-coded ties on each chair round the tables signifying the rank/relevance of each parent. An Ivory colored tie for the Diamond class, a burgundy chair tie for the Ruby class and lastly

    THIRD PERSON POV His emotions were just all over the place and he didn't know how to stop them either. This wasn't something he had learnt how to cope with, this wasn't something he had experienced before that he could think of solutions right then and there to address his issue once and for all! This was all new to him, she was new to him. This-this version of HER was new to him, and he had no idea what to do. At that tough realization, his shoulders slumped a bit and he saw her smirk a bit despite the distance between them. It was as though she heard his thoughts in that minute he glanced at her, a triumphant smirk slowly presenting itself on the left side of her lips... and without a second more he looked away. Better to die in silence than to let anyone hear the kind of thoughts he was having. "You're here for Aby, don't forget." He slowly reminded himself and reluctantly chose to focus his attention to Charlotte, who was now busy in a heated conversation with the proprietr

  • The Wife He Wants Back!   CHAPTER 299

    VALERIE’S POV“Pa!”“Pa!” Babara’s loud voice echoed in the air even before we saw her face. The urgency in her voice clear, and it only seemed to get worse as the clicking sounds of her heels drew closer to Papa’s hospital door.My eyes flickered to Papa’s for a moment, just making sure I didn’t need to stop her before she got to him right. Cause I was ready to! I won’t let her rashness take away the only family member I had left. I wouldn’t let him encounter another panic attack, not on my watch!I think he kind of sensed my uneasiness, and gently placed his hands on mine. Wanting to assure me he was alright, and as much as that calmed me, I still wasn’t putting down my guard. Not while the enemy was so close by.And as if hearing my thoughts, the door slammed open!“Papa!” and in came Babara herself. Rushing in with all her might, desperation and anxiety coating her every move. “Papa, I have looked everywhere for you! Everywhere… hospitals after hospitals, ward after ward, just… ev

    HUDSON’S POV“Do you understand now?”“First, the man you wanted left you, Amelia left you, Ethan also did, and now… your own father has abandoned you.” her voice sounded softly, almost considerate but the underlying cruelty was hard to miss. A total contrast to the nonchalant expression on her face, like even speaking to the woman on phone was not worth wasting her energy.It was enchanting, to say the very least.“No one wants you; no one wants to be with you.” She whispered slowly, “You will die alone, Charlotte. A long, lonely death. Remember that,”And just like that, the call ended. The phone sliding from her ears, every movement smooth like she had finished the deal right then and there, which she had though. The bait had been set.The bait we both agreed upon after Ethan showed up at our doorstep, with information about Charlotte. A very daring attitude from a person with his record of betrayal. Ever since he attempted to kidnap Valerie back then, he had gone off record. Which

    CHARLOTTE'S POV“Oh yeah?” she sneered, sounding totally unbothered as I continued to brew with anger. “What will you do to Drake then? You see he made a deal with me; to hand over all his dealings with my family, testify against you in court, revealing all the many corpses that was buried underneath the garden in his house for you.”What?“What are you talking about you bitch, I killed no one!” I responded, my breathing shaky as memories of how so many dead bodies were used as fertilizer for the rose garden back home. Dead bodies that were as a result of several tortures and beatings given to men doing business with the heartless man that was my father!It was all him!How come this bitch was saying something else here? How did she even know about the bodies?!“Those corpses are as a result of the many murders that you have done over the years, Charlotte!”“That’s not true!” I argued angrily, losing my cool.“But Drake said it is, and he is testifying against you in court!” she insis

    CHARLOTTE’S POV“What the hell are they doing?”“Why are they even together at the hospital? Just what the fuck is this?!” my voice resounded everywhere, bouncing off the walls in the apartment I currently occupied with Raymond.But could you blame me? I was pissed off!Pissed off by the stupid ass video that was been displayed on the tv screen! A video of what supposedly had happened between my man and that bitch Valerie today! Or was this some sort of trick? That bitch Valerie was pulling a stunt again?But even if she did, how did Hudson come onboard with this?! To do this with her! Act like they were all perfect and okay, when I knew they were not! They most definitely were not! They shouldn’t even be!Valerie’s schemes have been exposed! Hudson knows all about this now, I was sure of it! I watched him drive off angrily that night, away from their new place. He didn’t go home that day I sent those cameras, they had a fight. I was sure of it!So why instead of packing his things an

    HUDSON’S POVSilence settled between Val and I as we walked all the way to the ward. Our fingers still interlocked, until finally we reached the very door that held Miley’s excited laughs behind it. And then I stopped, facing Valerie right then.“What money?” I asked, but she simply blinked. Probably not expecting my question, but I heard the conversations between her and her aunties anyways. Or at least part of it, since they were already speaking before I arrived there. So…“The money your aunt was referring to” I explained, my voice calm as I waited. “She said something about a stolen money that was in Mason’s name, and you were going to be arrested for it if they called the cops. What was that all about?”“Oh,” was all she said, a deep sigh following right after. “It’s… it’s a bit personal,”Huh?“Personal?” I repeated, not believing she was about to do what I thought she would do. “How personal is this that I can’t even know about it? Mason is involved here, that’s my son, Valeri

  • The Wife He Wants Back!   CHAPTER 294

    HUDSON’S POVComing back home was nothing short of what I had expected. My kids gathered were together, happily playing games, absolutely oblivious of the current happenings surrounding me and their mom. As far as they were concerned; daddy had to take a little trip to check out a building site.A strategy Nanny Beth took to save them from the hassle of wondering why I wasn’t home for 2 days. But aside my kids, everything else seemed fine. The maids, Nanny (Whether or not she knew, she didn’t behave like it at all. But assuming she didn’t know anything will be highly stupid on my part cause Valerie tells her almost everything despite their huge age difference!) but above all, there was no Valerie.I wouldn’t lie to you, a part of me immediately thought of going back to the house outside the city, to check if she had still gone back there. But I just held back. Forcing myself to focus on taking a nice shower, eat a really satisfying meal and then catch up with my kids.The last time I

  • The Wife He Wants Back!   CHAPTER 293

    VALERIE’S POV“I-I’m truly sorry,”“I am- am so sorry for lying about that day,” I apologized, my voice breaking as I tried to keep my tears at bay. “I shouldn’t have lied! I should’ve… I didn’t know you and the kids were at the office, I didn’t know you guys wanted to surprise me so we could have lunch together. It’s all my fault! I’m sorry…”“Of course you are. You are sorry now, Valerie.” His voice sounded in the air, bitter but yet so calm. Unlike his explosive self that I had seen that day in the secret room. “But you weren’t sorry when you just lied to both me and the kids that day, running off to go clear evidences of your actions for fear that someone would get to it first before you do. Maybe someone already got to them-Charlotte had! She did send a few cameras after all; I’m guessing that is what got you agitated and also what had been bothering you days before the kids and I even went to your office!”“No! That’s not it at all,” I rushed to explain, “I wasn’t bothered about

    CHARLOTTE’S POV“What? What did you say?”“They are still under the same roof? My Huddie is still living in that house? With her? with bitch Valerie?!"He simply nodded in confirmation, amplifying the horror I just heard. “How?!” I blasted, loosing my shit right then and there. “How is any of that even possible?! He should’ve left her by now! They should be fighting and him not forgiving what she has done! How can they still be together? That’s impossible!”“It is possible!” Raymond insisted, his tone similar to mine. “I saw him myself! I saw Hudson drive into that mini city of his- the Sky Walls! I saw him, and even waited for over an hour to see if he would come back out, but he didn’t! The man simply went home to his woman and kids, get over him kiddo. We need to leave the country before things get out of hand!”“No,” I responded, not wanting to believe a word he said.“Kiddo, You-“No! I said no!” I boomed, smashing the glass of water I was supposed to take my meds with. “I’m not

    VALERIE’S POV“He just suffered from a mini panic attack, ma’am”“Given his age, attacks like this could often lead to stroke, full blown heart attacks, or even death on the spot!” The doctors voice resounded in my ears, sending yet another terrible ache throughout my temples. It has been this way since we took Papa to the hospital. And by we, I meant myself and Babara.Patricia came along too but quickly left after hearing he was still breathing and alive. Davis didn’t even come at all. Displaying their exact feelings towards their own father. Making me wonder even more that; what would have happened if I had already driven out of the estate before he collapsed today? What would have become of my Papa? Would he have- would he have really died? Just like that? Because his own children were too busy fussing over him instead of hurrying to get him to the hospital immediately?!“We have managed to stabilize his blood pressure for a bit, but I would advise no more shocking news to be brou
