The Wife He Wants Back! Chapter 10
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

Valerie's pov It took about an hour of convincing to stop my trio from coming with me to the event and an extra 30 to 40 minutes of assuring Miley I wasn't going to meet her daddy. The girl was a tough one, I wonder who she gets it from. But, I love her regardless. I of all people should know exactly how it feels to not have a father or someone to call that either, haven lost both parents to an accident all in one day at the tender age of 5.

But my babies won't live like I did, they will have the love of both mom and dad, Nanny Beth and Grandpa of course. I won't deprive them of that b

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

HUDSON’S POV“Daddy is making dinner, yay!” Miley's excited voice filled the air.“Yup!” I concurred, enthusiastic as I turned around to face the kids- my guests. “Good evening, pretty princesses and handsome princes! You can call me chef of sweet meals, and I will be preparing dinner!”“Yay!” Aby clapped happily as I introduced myself, smiling as she looked into the camera.“Since when did daddy become a chef? Do they learn that in business school too?” Mason asked curiously, looking around for answers. So typical of Mason, linking stuff around and asking questions as soon as they popped in his head.“No sweetie, no one learns cooking at business school.” Her sweet voice sounded in the air, answering Mason’s question. And in no time her face came into view, her smile flawless as she angled the camera to capture herself as well. “Daddy knows nothing about cooking, which is why I am here recording this moment! First time ever for the popular Hudson Rodriguiez to be in the kitchen! We h

Valerie’s Pov“Is mommy, okay?”“Mommy? Oh!”“Don’t worry, sweetie. She’s probably just tired, let’s leave her be, hm?” Nanny Beth’s voice fade in the background, my mind dulling out the conversations around me as I cuddled up myself even more on one of the living room couches. Inhaling the strong masculine scent of the sweater I currently had on, which actually belonged to Hudson.The sounds of shuffling footsteps soon filled the air, let me know they were indeed leaving me be, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Silence was all I needed right now. To think.It been hours, 24 hours at least since I last laid eyes on Hudson. Since we had that exchange at the secret room, and since he found out about everything that I had so desperately wanted him to know nothing of. Not one of my favorite moments I tell you. That night was simply the worst!So bad that I couldn’t stop crying on my steering wheels, unable to properly see the road. The tears just kept falling, choking me as his words rang
The Wife He Wants Back! CHAPTER 288
VALERIE'S POVMy lips parted slightly at his tone, completely offended. “Why are you making it sound like I’m some evil person?” I questioned, wiping every tear on my cheek dry as I glared at him.“Well, aren’t you?” He pressed, “If you doing all this; discreetly installing cameras in my house, invading my privacy, monitoring my movements and interactions, approaching and seducing me with revenge at the center of your heart, leading me on, taking advantage of me, using me in all aspects! Sex, comfort, warmth, safety… even involving my kids in this! Making me believe… making me believe we were official, that we had a good thing going!”“We were official!” I insisted hotly, but he didn’t seem to care. “If you doing all this is not called evil, then I don’t know what else is!” He spat, “This is me that you played with! My feelings and emotions! You used my love for you against me! That’s what you did!”“Well, I didn’t ask you to fall for me, did i?” I snapped, equaling raising my voice.

VALERIE’S POV“Valerie,”One word.Just one word, my name even but right now hearing it seemed like a sentence.A death sentence.To the few seconds of my life that I had before coming into this room, the plans that I made, what I intended to do tomorrow and most of all, to the life I had recently started getting used to. A life I so badly wanted to hold on to, doing my all to ensure nothing goes wrong. Or at least not end just yet.But it seems the heavens had other plans. ‘The lying tongue must be condemned, right?’Cause I sure was starting to receive that condemnation right now. Right here, in this moment… by the blue depths fixated on me right now.“What is all this, Valerie?” His deep voice resounded in my ears, confirming I was not imagining things. That what I was seeing right now… was all real. All real, like a scene from a horror movie. And I was so not prepared.With a soft gasp, my lips parted. My legs trembling as quickly the intense realization of how bad this exact situ

HUDSON'S POVMy very house where I moved out from to be with Val!Could you believe that? I was literally staring at every nook and cranny of a house i had lived for 5 years, before finally moving out and currently about to sell off because I wanted no use of it. I wanted no memory of it.“Good lord,” I muttered, turning on my feet as I took in the entire space. Feeling more and more like a bucket of cold water had been dozed on me as several thoughts plagued my mind. My throat going dry as I blinked repeatedly, trying to make sure this wasn’t some sort of trick that my mind was doing. But it didn’t go away, none of the stuff I saw in the room; they didn’t go away. And that was when real terror engulfed my heart, my mind going into a state of panic as I looked again at the screens. Sighting everywhere the cameras covered; From the front doors, down to the living room, the kitchen, dining area, stairs… my room that Charlotte destroyed! Charlotte’s room! Aby’s even! maids’ quarters… e

HUDSON’S POVWe are advised that in everything we do in life, we should be patient, right? The patient dog gets the fattest bone! Isn’t it?How come that didn’t seem to be applicable in this situation? In this very moment where I was watching my woman with another man for heaven’s sake! In fact, it seemed like the more I stayed in my car, the more unanswered my questions became and somehow, I wanted those answers right here and right now!At least right now when both Val and that damned bastard had left the building.I couldn’t even begin to understand what they were doing. On one hand, thoughts of them together… meeting up behind my back had already plagued my mind. But on the other, I couldn’t seem to understand why they weren’t staying long inside the building. First, it was Rob that left and now, Val has also driven out!Although she did spend quite a few minutes longer compared to how fast Rob had left, but that did not stop my curiosity.Without wasting time, I jumped out of my
The Wife He Wants Back! CHAPTER 284
VALERIE’S POV“Something wrong?”I just shook my head as a no, to Rob’s question. “It’s nothing, Hudson is probably having a hard time with the kids.” I explained, it was his day at home with them. So maybe… maybe he was having a hard time.“You often say he is extremely good with the kids, what could be the problem today?” Rob pressed, voicing the exact same question that came to my mind the moment I told myself Hudson was having a hard time.Either way, I just shrugged it off and faced the matter at hand. “So, where is the money?” I asked, facing Rob and the extra person in our midst. “Mr.…”“My name is irrelevant!” The surprisingly young man spoke, “I’m just here to ensure you get your locker, and this is it. Whatever you find in there has to be what you’re looking for. This is the part where I take my leave” he concluded abruptly, giving a slight bow before leaving. Not even letting me speak further.“That was hasty,” I scoffed, facing Rob as he used the key given by Mr. ‘I do not
