The Rejected Ex-wife 11 - Tomorrow it is!
“What do you mean she isn’t there? You were supposed to watch her!” Rafael barked into his phone, feeling a bout of headache hit him at the information passed to him.“I am sorry, sir! She outsmarted us and got away. We are scouring the area in search of her—”“You mean a young and hospitalized girl managed to outsmart two full-grown men?” he asked incredulously. “Don’t bother! Go to the head office and get compensation for your work so far! You are fired. Both of you!”Rafael dropped the call before they could say a word to him. He didn’t need to hear them yap about anything. Things had been hot in his home with his son’s refusal to eat or do anything since he denied him access to seeing June Rivera.The enigmatic woman had managed to occupy his mind and that of his son’s. When he received the files on June Rivera, one glance at them, and it was clear that she had led quite an interesting life.“What happened to Auntie?” The voice of his son made him turn around in mild surprise.“Wh

Ethan and April were seated in his car, parked in front of the Lontoc home, as he tried to pacify her.“My father is throwing a fit. I just need you to stay in the penthouse for a bit while we sort things out.”April wasn’t having it. “You expect me to stay alone in the penthouse?” she fumed. “I think it’s best I get rid of this baby while it’s still at a tender age. If you are already ditching me so early in this pregnancy, then what’s to say that I won’t end up like my stupid sister?!”Ethan’s heart broke at her words. “Baby, please stop saying that. You know I love you. I can never do that to you. I just need you to exercise a bit of patience.”“Till when?! I have had enough of waiting for you, Ethan! Is it a crime for me to love you? Do you know the amount of hate and shame that I have faced because I chose to make you a father? When will you man up and take responsibility for me?”April’s voice broke as she cried, holding her stomach delicately. “I was willing to do anything to h

June stepped out of the restaurant’s kitchen, balancing a tray of orders as she headed toward a table that held a group of men.“Here you go,” she said with a moderate smile, cheeks strained from the number of smiles she had to wear in order to appear friendly. “Please enjoy your meal.”She made to leave but was stopped by an older man’s hand placed on her wrist. “Don’t be so quick to leave, beautiful. Sit.”It wasn’t the first time such a thing was happening. Three days working here, and she somehow managed to meet one of these dirtbags every single day.The worst part of it was the fact she couldn’t do anything about it. They were all bloody rich, and the last thing she needed was to get fired from a job that both fed and housed her.“I apologize, sir, but I have to go,” she spoke with a strained smile, attempting to make her way out, but he held her tightly.“It wasn’t a request, girl.” He pulled her to his side, shamelessly staring at her form. “I want you for the night. How much

June was walking along the busy roads of South City, absolutely dejected and tired of life. She stood by the sidewalk, ready to cross, hail a cab, and return to her ex-husband’s home.There was no way she was going to continue living her life in such a manner, not when the cheating bastard owed her a lot of money. She needed to get on her feet, and with her inability to get another job, she could only rely on the money that she had worked for over the years without pay.Lost in thought, June stumbled into the road, forgetting the traffic lights as she walked into the street. The next moment, she heard horn blares and saw a black vehicle screech to a halt in front of her.Taken aback with shock, she felt her heart stop, and a migraine headache flogged her senses. Although she had not been hit, she fell to the ground and lost consciousness.A crowd had gathered at the near-accident, and just then, Rafael stepped out of his car with a swear on his lips. He rushed to the lady who was now

June felt her breath seize as the little one rushed towards her with a smile and hugged her leg tightly.“Auntie! I’m so sorry! I wanted to come see you, but my father stopped me! He locked me up and forbade me from seeing you!” Luis managed to say in one breath while the entire house watched with shocked expressions.Auntie? Who was this woman, and how did they relate?“My baby!” June soon recovered from her initial shock around him and reciprocated the hug, holding him tightly. “My sweet boy! I missed you so much! Have you been well?” she asked with a smile, gazing into his eyes.He shook his head, and her heart fell.“I’m hungry. Come eat with me,” he said in a childish tone, refusing to leave her side.June smiled, then looked around. Only then did she realize they were the center of attention. “What?” She didn’t know when the word fell from her lips.Rafael soon recovered from the drastic change in the little one’s actions, and a frown marred his face as he took in the damage cau

June remained frozen in her seat long after the story was aired and they moved on to other topics.She could feel Rafael’s gaze upon her, but she couldn’t bring herself to face him.“You are divorced,” he stated more than asked.“Thank you for your hospitality. I have to leave,” she said, getting up on her feet.She needed to get to the Lontoc household and find out what bullshit they were spewing, see if they could say it to her face.Rafael shook his head. “You are not to leave this house until you are well-rested.”“Well-rested?” June spoke in disbelief. “That cheating ex-husband of mine just slandered my name on national TV, and you expect me to rest? To act like he didn’t just destroy my image and flaunt his cheating partner to the world like some darned saint? I think not!”By now, she was on her feet, ready to leave when Rafael held her back.“So what if he is lying? What could you possibly do to show that you are innocent? As it is, you will only endanger yourself by going out

“Marry you?” June repeated in an incredulous tone and picked up the documents.Rafael remained still, watching her go through the documents as her eyes widened with every page.The agreement was arranged like a business proposal. She was going to get married to him for a period of six months. She would get to be Luis’s nanny and live in their home with a generous pay of fifty million dollars.It all seemed too absurd and too fast.“What the hell?” She threw the document on the table. “What the hell is this?”“I know that you have been wronged by your ex-husband and betrayed by your family. You have nowhere to go, no money to your name, and are desperately in need of a job,” Rafael stated.“If you become my son’s nanny, you automatically have a job, which would also provide you with accommodation in my home. Killing two birds with one stone.”June looked at Rafael like he had grown a second head.“And the part about being my wife? It’s nothing serious. I just happen to need a wife to s

If Rafael was shocked, he didn’t show it.“May I ask why?” he said after some moments of silence.June cleared her throat, having expected this question.“I thought of the entire deal and figured if I was going to have a clear shot at clearing my name, I needed to become powerful. I need to become someone important enough that people care to hear my side of the story.”“And?”“I want to start a company of my own.” She bared it all, and that took him by surprise.“A company?” He relaxed on the chair. “What kind?”“That is for me to know.” She adjusted in her seat. “Finally, I want you to stay out of my business.”Rafael couldn’t help but feel attacked by the coldness in her tone.“We are about as close as the contract allows us, which means you are not to interfere in my matters or do anything that crosses the boundaries of our contractual relationship.”“Also, I will not be receiving any salary from you as Luis’s nanny.” An unconscious smile dropped by her lips. “I have no problems ke

“What do you want?” Rafael hissed, staying put at the door.June bit her lip in anger at his tone. Just when she wanted to put the man firmly in his place, she remembered her mother-in-law, who was standing a few feet from her with an expectant look on her face.Instead, she pushed up the tray into his eyesight without speaking a word.Rafael’s eyes narrowed. “What is this?”“If you could step aside and let me drop it.” She gritted, sending him a mean look that had him stepping aside.“I have a lot to do, and I don’t remember asking for anything,” he deadpanned. “If that is all, then you can leave.”“Drink it.” June took a seat on the couch after dropping the tray. “I will be out of your hair and back in my bed once you finish.”“Did my mother put you up to this?”June rolled her eyes. “Takes a genius to figure that out. Now drink the darned tea so I can get out of your hair and get my beauty sleep.”“I already told you she cannot make you do anything you don’t want to,” Rafael reiter
The Rejected Ex-wife 44 - He didn't look pleased to see her
The house watched in shock as Mrs. Beatrice led June to the couch, excitement written on her face.“Oh, darling, please sit. Tell me, how did it happen? Did he drag you to the altar? How could you even have a secret wedding without me?”June suddenly felt overwhelmed, but her mother-in-law was not stepping on the brakes anytime soon.“Who are your parents? Oh, they must think my son kidnapped their daughter. This won’t do! We have to redo the wedding. This time, we do it the right way!”“Mother...”“You don’t have to worry, I will handle everything, you just need to show up. Everything will be—”Rafael stepped in when he noticed June’s state. “Mother. Enough,” he said in a firm voice. “There will be no wedding.”Mrs. Beatrice turned to her son. “And why is that? You already got married, son. I just need to make it official.”“The papers are sufficient proof of marriage. We don’t need to have another wedding,” he said, forcing his mother to turn to June.“Do not let him bully you into
The Rejected Ex-wife 43 - Welcome back son
“In just one day, two of my enemies would be in tears while I enjoy the fruits of my labour,” April said in a sing-song voice as Ethan drove into the LT Constructions facility.Ethan's jaw flexed in anger as he notified her of the job given to him. “Joel Patel has refused to sell his company to us. He refused every offer given to him.”A sharp turn. “Then offer him more. I need that company to be absorbed into my company. Do whatever it takes! Don’t tell me you have become incompetent,” she said in a flippant tone.“I don’t think there is any amount of money we offer him that he would take,” Ethan said solemnly. “Besides, why do you care so much about them? They are not worth your time.”“This is why you will never amount to anything.” Her words were a slap to his face. “Don’t you know the first rule to world domination? Remove every threat on the way.”“JP Constructions is hardly a threat. They are on the verge of bankruptcy,” Ethan said through gritted teeth.Although he knew that J
The Rejected Ex-wife 42- Apologise to my mother this instant!
Lucy returned to the hospital with a nylon bag filled with provisions and a sneer on her face. Her anger increased as she reflected on the little meeting with April. She needed to inform her lady of the recent developments, but first, she had to see her father. When Lucy stepped into the hallway that led to her father’s ward, she noticed a little crowd at his door. Her eyes narrowed as she hastened her steps, wondering about the situation. As she came closer, she noticed the looks on people’s faces when they saw her, some nurses going as far as to give her a hug. “What is going on? Where is my father?” she asked when she found her father’s bed empty. “Miss Garfield,” the attending doctor stated with a somber look on his face. “No! Where is my papa?! Where have you taken him?” “I’m sorry. Your father fell while trying to use the bathroom. We found his dead body,” the doctor informed her. “I am sorry for your loss.” Lucy felt her world end as the bags of provisions fell fro
The Rejected Ex-wife 41 - What do you want from me?
April received a distressing call from her intel at the hospital and placed a call to her mother, asking to meet.Evelyn was in the Rivera headquarters, seated in her office when April came to her. “What is it? Why do you look so distraught?”“It’s sister. She’s looking for clues. She wants to send me to prison. We need to do something.” The words spewed out of her mouth, her fear clear as day.“Calm down and speak so I understand!” Evelyn said, trying to calm her daughter, who was panicking.“June was at the hospital. She went to see the medical director of South City Hospital.” April paced around the room. “I don’t feel comfortable with having her go around. What if she is planning something? What if she has something on me?”“She can’t,” her mother said. “I made sure that—”“In the same way you made sure that she was killed, and here she is, back from the grave! Can’t you see the more we plan for her, the more she seems to escape death and return to haunt us?”“What do you want to
The Rejected Ex-wife 40 - And if I refuse?
That night, June watched the clips sent to her by Carson. It was a struggle to keep herself from getting emotional as she watched Luis and Rafael stay by her side, watching her from the glass pane.Two men who knew almost nothing about her, and yet they took care of her so much that one would think she was a family member. She owed her life to them, that bit was certain.When she got to the footage from the day she first opened her eyes, she noticed something outside the ordinary. Compared to the other days, the nurse who came in on that day was different.How did she know? Because, unlike the other nurses, this one seemed hell-bent on avoiding the camera. It felt like the woman in question knew the position of every camera and purposefully walked in such a way that it would not get a clear and concise view of her face.June wondered if it was just her being paranoid and overthinking things, but these days, after everything that had happened to her, she reserved the right to suspect a
The Rejected Ex-wife 39 - Do you want her to stay?
Marie stayed outside the house until Rafael returned. With all her things inside the house, including her phone, she had no other choice.All the while, she fussed and screamed at the top of her voice until she was sore. She then sat on the floor, brimming with anger. When she became Rafael’s wife, she would kick that little thing out and make him regret being mean to her!Watching him play with that maid while she stood outside in the cold made her feel a new wave of anger. No matter how much she ordered the slut to open the door, it fell on deaf ears.Meanwhile, June opened her room using the keys that were abandoned on the cushion following her baby’s little stunt. Luis could never do wrong in her eyes, and as she helped him put puzzle pieces together, her mind remained stuck on the video sent to her.She wanted to watch it in the comfort of her room, without any distractions and with a clear mind. That was the only way she could get the meat of the video and find things hidden in
The Rejected Ex-wife 38 - Get out and stay out
June was seated across from Carson in a restaurant.“I need everything you have on this case,” June said. “Every single footage from my stay at the hospital until the very moment I was out of there.”Carson shrugged. “So far, we don’t have the video from the day you were attacked, but I could arrange for a copy of your stay throughout the days you were unconscious.”“Thank you.” June wore a serious expression. “If my sister knew I was alive, she wouldn’t sit still. Judging from the shock on her face, it was clear she thought me dead, which begs the question—why?”“Why would my sister find it difficult to believe I survived, Doctor?” June’s tone was rhetorical. “Because she made sure I was dead. Or at least paid someone to finish the job.”“Which means in the time you were fighting for your life, she would have tried—” Carson’s eyes widened. “That is just wicked. I will definitely go through the videos and get them through to you when they are ready.”June nodded. “Thank you. I’d appre

“That’s it! She can’t get married to you! Over my dead body!” Olivia rampaged into the Lontoc family home.Gary had summoned April and Ethan after Olivia returned with news of how she was walked out of the office by security at April’s words.“This wench will never be my daughter-in-law! Not while I am alive!”“Enough!” Gary Lontoc hit his walker on the floor with a frown on his face.“This wench—”“Sit down, Olivia!” Ethan’s father roared, barking into a fit of coughs afterward.April held a lasting bitch face as she watched their interaction, unbothered to a fault. When they all settled, Ethan’s father continued.“What exactly is going on in this family?” he said to his son. “What is this I am hearing?”“Father,” Ethan said with quivering lips. “It was all a misunderstanding. Mother came to the office, and things escalated. It won’t happen again.”“That does not answer my question, Ethan.” Gary took a seat on the chair, and his eyes focused on April, who was yet to say a word. “Why
