Chapter: CHAPTER 320
HUDSON'S POV“Our new guest has arrived!” The nurse gushed, pushing its wheels just beside Val. Where I had been occupying before now.“Awww, how precious!” Nanny Beth cooed softly, moving to towards it. Everyone doing so too, all except me. I just stood by the side, smiling as everyone got a view of our fairy.As if feeling everyone’s gaze, our baby stirred in her bundle. Her soft cooing’s filling the air, and getting several rounds of awwn from both Val and Nanny Beth. The rest just smiled, especially the men. James and Henry, whose eyes were already brimming with unshed tears.And as for the kids, “Is that… is that our baby sister, mommy?” Miley’s soft voice reached my ears, “Is that my baby sister?”“She’s so small,” Aby joined, her big eyes twinkling as the baby was lifted out of the crib and gently placed in Val’s arms.“And so shining,”“And pink!” Miley and Miles whispered at once, both of them lost in awe of the small being now brought directly in front of their eyes.“A tiny

HUDSON’S POV“The kids are safe! And so is Nanny Beth” I assured Val, trying to explain.“We had taken two cars, remember? We took two cars, mine and your Papa’s, because you couldn’t sit at the front due to pregnancy and we couldn’t all fit at the back seat with the kids. Me, you, your Papa, James and Nanny Beth all at the same time.”“Oh,” was all that left her lips, the memory coming back to her as she slowly relaxed back down on the bed. I didn’t want her moving or doing anything after everything she just went through from both the labor and with pushing out the baby.“We didn’t leave them, we just arrived here earlier than they did.” I continued, easing her down. “They will be here soon don’t worry. I just texted James the address.”She just nodded in response, her eyes looking a bit drowsy as she laid on the bed. “Is it okay if she sleeps? She looks really tired,” I asked a nurse, the only one still present.Apparently, she stayed back to keep watch and ensure Val’s vitals were

VALERIE’S POVSIX MONTHS LATER“Wah... what’s happening?”“Why isn’t the car moving anymore? Hudson!!” I screamed out his name, my breath both labored and unstable as I literally tried to hold onto anything for support. Anything at all, as long it could elevate the searing pain that seemed to tear through me at every 30 seconds.Just then, the car door flung open, presenting a very alarmed looking Hudson. “Val!” He cried out, slightly panicky at first to see me sprawled out on the back seat as I was unable to sit still anymore. “Val… love, we’re here. We’re here at the hospital; you will be fine. You will be totally fine!”“Oh God…” I moaned painfully as another wave of contraction hit me, not even letting me register the help Hudson’s hands wanted to give to me right now. Forcing me to slap him away as I cried out in pains. All I felt was pain, everything hurt!Every damned thing, and the more I stayed breathless on these back seats the crazier I became with pain. “Oh God, Huds…Hudson

HUDSON’S POV“I’m pregnant, Hudson!” her words echoed in my ears, my mind not believing it as I stood there watching her calmly reach the living room without me.Pregnant.Did she- did she just say she was pregnant?Like pregnant, we are having a baby pregnant?“Oh my God,” I found myself muttering, a smile slowly making its way to my lips as she winked at me from her spot on the couch. “Oh my… OH MY GOD!”At my outburst she chuckled, covering her lips to hide her smiles.I didn’t even realize when I started hurrying towards her, my steps literally the fastest i had been. Like ever!And when I reached her on the couch, I just tackled her to a hug. Uncontrollable laughter leaving my lips as I turned her over that she was on my chest. Her elated chuckles filling the air, matching mine, honey brown waves cascading all over us. Longer than I even remembered but I wouldn’t have it any other way.Something else was far more important. Way more important! We were having a baby! An actual baby

THE GLASS WIFE; the storm he built himself

THE GLASS WIFE; the storm he built himself

Have you ever lived a life that looked perfect—but felt like nothing? Felt yourself slipping away every day… yet still couldn’t call that life your own? Well, Serena Beckett has. The perfect daughter. The perfect wife. Invisible in her own story. Born into a wealth she was never allowed to claim. Married into a life she didn’t choose, but ended up loving endlessly as she thought she could finally have a thing of her own. Until the night her husband walks in with a stranger… and divorce papers. That night, something breaks in her. And something far stronger takes its place. Serena doesn’t crumble. She doesn’t leave. Not until she decides who she really is—beyond the Beckett name, beyond the lies, beyond the mask she’s worn for far too long. Is she the girl her family tried to tame? The wife Eliot thought he could throw away? Or someone neither of them ever saw coming? And when Eliot finally sees her… Will it be too late?

SERENA'S POV "Oh the heavens surely have eyes!""Let me see it again. Show me please!"I chuckled. Pulling up my top for the fourth time just this evening. Everyone smiling and staring like it was some special globe of destiny. Celeste been the worst of them all. The very culprit to my continuous belly display.I should just wear a crop top at this point."I still can't believe it." She said, smiling. Eyes bright. Smiles brighter. "I can't believe I'll be having grandbabies at once! Two!""Have some tea at least," Rosa dropped in front of her, smiling too. Urging her to take something. She hadn't since we she came here, since we arrived back at the house.At first we stopped by her place, to deliver the news. But we only got told she'd gone to ours instead, making us come home to her more than eager to jump on our bodies. Excited.Purely excited to see us.Together especially.It was her long hard prayers. Then she found out about the pregnancy, and now about it being twins too!You

SERENA'S POV "Are you okay?""Yeah, I'm okay." I chuckled, holding his hands. "Are YOU okay? Like really okay.""Yeah sure," he said, shrugging. Interlocking our hands.Hmm."Are you really sure, cutie?" I pressed, surprising him. "You've asked me if I'm fine 6 times already. I'm now worried for you.""Oh, I err...I just wanted make sure."Hmm."Okay," I sat back, letting it go. "It's okay, you know. To be tensed, surrounded by big bellied women... crying babies."He smiled, "It's going to us, isn't it?""It is cutie," I confirmed, smiling. Then we sat in silence. Waiting like we've been doing for the past 30 minutes.Then he broke it,"You know I've been wanting to ask...why are you suddenly calling me Cutie?"I turned to him, laughing right out upon seeing his face. The genuine curiosity sitting there. Gray eyes blinking in both confusion and innocence."What," he pulled at me, not understanding."You're cute." I said, calming down."I'm not cute. In fact, I think I find the word o

SERENA'S POV The rest of the day was spent in absolute bliss.Bliss unimaginable!The staff all sitting at the table for the first time in a long while. Chatters filling the air, laughter, jokes, memories being told, of things that happened while I was away. The things that happened the period I left, how Eliot reacted, almost fired them all and so much more!Eliot was also at the table during all of these. His very first time ever to sit with his staff. Talk about laughing, talking or joking with them.All he did was dish out orders before now. But now that was going to change. He sat with us, didn't he? He even laughed several times when Rene was spilling all about the gossip she packed online about May and my entire family!Apparently my mom had made a circus at our gates. Several days even. Several times.But Eliot did not pay her any mind. Didn't chase her away either. She even involved the press, but I saw no such news online.I guess my schemer of a husband had that handled

SERENA'S POV They're a lot of hard decisions.Tons of them if you think about the life span of the human life. Imagine how many hard decisions we have to make as we grow, age and live longer everyday.They were a lot, and rightly so spread out in our years.But why did mine seem different?Why did mine seem to come more in my early age?? Why?Since I could remember, I'd forced to take decisions. Decisions people of my age wouldn't normally take, I'd been forced to make those decisions and then try to live in those decisions.From living with my father and family, to shrinking to protect myself, talking less, submitting more, accepting to be treated like trash and without complaints. Then getting married, living in the marriage, getting divorced or at least attempting to, building a business, reconnecting with an old friend... everything.Everything just seemed so hard and all at the same time.I could barely get a year of rest. I'd never gotten a year of rest, not even a month of res

ELIOT'S POV "Court arise!"The voice filled the air before I could even move a muscle. Everyone rising just then.Including her. Myself joining. Looking from the judge coming in and back to her.She didn't look in my direction once though, just right ahead. Spotting a white flowy dress. One that reached up to her ankles, her black hair in a normal ponytail, a white scarf wrapped around her neck too, covering her arms.If I didn't know I'd think she here for a funeral or something. Or she'd been crying."Did something happen?" I muttered, staring at her openly as we sat back down. Worry in my belly.What could've happened?I knew she quarrelled with Axel, but anything else happened? Did he hurt her?My head whipped right back to her at the thought, almost rising. John's steady hands catching me just in time. Surprised."Sir,"I blinked. Sitting back down, surveying my environment, the judge at his desk, another person reading off stuff. Recordings from the previous hearing probably.

ELIOT'S POV I didn't want things to go this way. Didn't want it to escalate to this level, get to this point and dragging back all these old things...But he asked for it.He definitely did. So I let him have it then."From helping you to settle down, keep out of problems for a few months, getting along with your wife, and then implant the fashion idea. Arranging people to help with the idea, the smooth running of everything. The business, cause as we both know, you're way too reckless to run anything right."He held my stare. Disbelief.I sipped from my glass then, the air quiet. Finally quiet. His brain adjusting. Understanding. Cause he needed to. He needed to get it, and be done with this misbehaviour he's been exhibiting."I did it all," I finished. "I did it as compensation. T you, and well maybe for... For family. We do share a surname after all."He scoffed at that. Scornful. Malice boiling in his eyes, digging like sharp daggers. As usual. Only thing now it was more obviou

CHOKEHOLD; Trapped By My Ex

CHOKEHOLD; Trapped By My Ex

He ruined me once. And now he’s back to finish the job—I can feel it. Else how do you explain this? The one man I should never see again is everywhere. In my head. In my bed when I close my eyes. In the wet dreams that leave me aching for the man who ghosted me after four years. That isn’t normal. Nothing about this is normal. People run from danger. They run from pain. But me? It feels like I’m running straight toward it. Or worse—like it’s running toward me. Roman Ward. The bane of my existence. And God help me… the only man I can’t escape.

ALINA’S POVWe rode off to the airport like that. Reached there in no time, Jordan disappearing around the same time too. I could feel my heart just plummet to the bottom of my stomach the moment I took in the surrounding view around me. Confirming we were indeed at the airport, I was at the airport.“Ohhh,” I groaned silently, getting off the car. Sweating. My fingernails biting into each other despite my attempt to keep cool and all. The subtle roar of engines in the distance didn’t help matters too. If anything occasional whoosh sounds filled the air, signaling planes were leaving. Or landing. Whichever. All I knew right now was my problem. That I felt really hot right now but at the same time so cold. Sweating too, my mind creating more and more images of my impending embarrassment. How it’ll all happen.I didn’t even know how I would react at the counter or something. I’d never travelled before nor did I need to. But I could imagine right now that they wouldn’t let you pass throu

ALINA’S POVIt wouldn’t be strange if this issue with the suppliers had something to do with Roman, would it? A means to take a jab at me…I mean it fit the scale. Annoying, intrusive, annoying again, and very much under the list of things he could actually do given his recent displays with me.But it was kind of a stretch, wasn’t it?Roman using his business to have a go at some consultant? Me?Naaaa.I wasn’t that important.Anyways the weekend came quick. Quicker than most, and with it was gone my peace of mind. Only dread and more dread filled my mind as the day counted to the weekend. The weekend for the trip.“Miss, I’m sorry but you can’t be cleared for a passport. You’re still flaged-“Of course, of course.” I quickly cut the lady off, “I understand. Thank you.” that ended the call. I set the phone down too, fast like it burned my flesh. Agitation and uneasiness written all over me, dread literally eating up my bones by the second.That was my last attempt. My last attempt at

ALINA’S POV“Sir,”“Consultant,”Okay.Guess that’s our greeting then. I cleared my throat, feet stepped forward to approach his desk even more now. He didn’t look at me, not with his face focused on the folders on his desk. I had to ask myself how he knew it was even me to begin with when I didn’t see him look up. “I have a erm… there’s a matter that needs your attention, sir. It’s about the wing.”No response. No looking up either to acknowledge me or what I was saying at least. “There’s been a mix up, sir.” I pressed, stern. “A mix up with the last batch of equipment needed to begin our setups at the Seraph wing. Our order has been called canceled by the suppliers. They said to resend our specifications or wait for another supply line, that can take months from now. Meaning more time needed, an extension of the wing launch.”“Extension?” he paused, setting his folder down. Guess that finally got his attention. “How did it happen? How did any of this happen, why did you let it happ

Alina's POV "Why don't you stop being so memorable, miss Monroe?" The words echoed again.The third time this afternoon, and 7 times in the last 24 hours.What did he mean by that? What did he mean ‘stop being memorable?’Was it part of his tease? His stupid brainless stunts like he’s been doing??It's been a week since the incident. Since my ...I don't even know what to call it, but the rubbish I did at the pool, and then seeing him again at the house!It's been a full week since that happened and I must say, i didn't feel the least better than I did before. If anything I felt worse. Kept replaying everything over and over in my head, revisiting the scene, moaning over what I should’ve done and not done!'Why did I do it?' I keep asking myself. Like why did I do it, why did I let things get to that point, why did I close my eyes, why did I let his thumb into my mouth and worse...Why did I freaking enjoy it and can't stop thinking about it almost every night since that day??I must

ROMAN'S POVCouple of minutes after she left I remained where I was. Partly speechless as to what had happened, how it happened. Soon after, I left the pool though. But the scene, it didn't leave my mind.It couldn't leave.At first my actions before all of these were just to tease her, rile her up until she maybe admitted to being wrong about Oxygen. That she actually enjoyed it. I mean she got a membership to explore the grounds.It was also reason for the porn stunt I pulled, although I didn’t expect it to work so well and reveal a whole lot. It was like getting a front row seat to watch a potent flower unveil it’s colors, Or a snail gradually crawl out from it’s shell deciding it was time to move.At any rate it was irresistible. I couldn’t resist. So by morning at the office, I sent stuff to her, called her, anything to get her boiling and face the obvious elephant in the room.But she still didn’t.Didn’t even come looking for me, glaring and what not. Then that’s when I realiz

ROMAN’S POV“Are you okay?” I asked, genuinely curious with how sharply she moved away. But still… I couldn’t help pausing slightly after. The panic in those eyes hitting me face fist. Her brows furrowing, lips parting, she was thinking of something. She was worrying about something, there was conflict in those brown eyes.There was always conflict. Like she was constantly having some sort of internally battle with herself. The only time I didn’t notice such was when she laughed. Or moaned in pleasure while eating chocolate cakes.Did she still eat chocolate cakes? She used to love them. A lot.“AL,” I heard myself call her. The nickname easily falling from my lips, my eyes zeroed on those big brown eyes. “Do you still enjoy chocolate cakes?” I asked her.“W-what?” She blinked, unstable. I held her. Steadied her in my arms. She looked up, soft. Precious.“Chocolate cakes,” I repeated still, a whisper. “Do you still eat them? Enjoy them. You used to love them a lot. Loved eating them af
