The Rejected Ex-wife 23 - The Charismatic daughter-in-law
It’s been three weeks since the accident, and June was finally out of the woods. Her situation had been hidden from the general public to protect her while she recuperated in Rafael’s home.Every day, Doctor Carson attended to her, and today was no different. However, the details of her murder attempt were still unclear, with no evidence to prove or ascertain how she got into that situation.The Rivera mother-and-daughter duo had done a clean job, leaving no trace behind. Hence, June was needed to clarify some things.“I was at the hospital when she suddenly dragged me into the closet,” June recounted the details of her murder attempt. “She told me how she made me unable to conceive by putting some potions in my food while we lived together.”“After stabbing me multiple times, she said I would be found by some people who would make it seem like it was suicide.”A dry laugh evaporated from June as she spoke to Rafael and Doctor Carson, who listened with tight faces as she narrated the

“Come on, keep walking,” Doctor Carson said to June as she limped around the house.Today was physical therapy—one of the days she got to go out and exercise her body. The stab wounds were healing, and so were the internal wounds.Doctor Carson had taken responsibility for her, and she was very grateful for his help so far. Her body was slowly but surely getting back into shape, and she owed it all to him.After their session, they returned to the house and sat in the living room.“Thank you,” June said to the maid who served them a drink.“How are you feeling?” Doctor Carson asked after he took a sip.“I feel stronger,” she replied. “I just wish I could hasten up the process and get myself useful.”“You will have all the time to do whatever you want when you are well and strong,” the doctor remarked. “Remember—”“Health is wealth,” June finished for him, and they shared a laugh.Every time she spoke about how she hated the way her recuperation process made her feel, Doctor Carson rep

June was lying on her bed when she heard little knocks on the door.It didn’t take a second before Luis’s little head squished its way into the room with a blinding smile on his face. As soon as she saw him, her heart felt so full of love and pain at the same time.“Baby!” She tried to put up a cheerful expression, but her words came out flat.Luis pushed open the door, letting himself in with some heavy books in his hands. June looked at the books with confusion. Surely, he didn’t plan on reading her such lengthy, serious-looking books.Getting to the stool beside her bed, Luis placed the books on it and the bed beside her. “Auntie! I brought my baby pictures!” he said with a smile that sucked the frigid look off June’s face.With eyes lit, she gleamed, “Really? I bet you were very handsome as a baby.” She cooed, ruffling his hair.Luis loved the feel of his auntie’s hand on his hair. For others, he would throw a tantrum when they wanted to mess with his hair, but with her, it was so

With her solid business plan set in motion and her capital ready, all she needed to do was employ a few more people to take care of project management, design, and construction.She knew that opening an architectural firm was no easy feat and was thankful for her time at LT Constructions, which gave her an idea of what she needed to operate as a company.Just while she wrecked her head over the intricate plans of recruiting members and the perfect name for her firm, Luis joined her in the sitting room.“Auntie!” He made his presence known and took a s

June stood in front of Rafael’s office with her phone in hand.Today was the day she left the house. She needed to look over spaces for her new company, but she didn’t know how Rafael would take to her finally leaving the house.It was no surprise that he didn’t like having her leave the house, especially when she was only fully recovering from the last attack. In consideration of her health, she had put off going out for the longest period of time.However, there was no way for her to move her plans forward without going out to sort out other things needed for the launch of her company.Over time, she had even brushed up on her skills, drawing out architectural designs just to pass time—designs she planned to use as models for the first set of projects she intended to carry out as soon as her company went live.Three knocks on the door, and June was asked into Rafael’s office.One look at her, and he shook his head. “No.”June’s shoulders sagged. “You can’t say no when you haven’t he

June sat at a table with a distraught Lucy seated before her.After meeting her former colleague in front of the restaurant, she expertly handled the situation, and they all made their way to another restaurant, where she took a separate table to discuss with her.“What happened?” June asked after they had been served. “How did you end up here?”The woman could barely speak with the amount of tears that dripped from her eyes. “I was fired from the company,” she managed to say between the tears.June’s heart broke at her words. “Why would he fire you? You are the best at what you do,” she spoke, confusion written on her face.The woman seated before her was one of the best closers she had ever encountered. She was the head of project management at her ex-husband’s firm, and for the three years she worked at LT Constructions, Lucy had won over clientele and projects that raked millions and billions into the company.Why the hell would she suddenly get fired?“I don’t know.” Lucy’s voice

How could he tell his mother that their company was in the hands of his wife?How could he explain that April had gone out of his control and now secretly called the shots in their beloved company? Since the day he discovered his cunning wife’s ways, everything had gone downhill.“Lucy Garfield was betraying us,” he managed to say before his father stepped into the conversation.“And the best person to replace her was your pregnant wife?!” the elderly man roared. “Have you lost your brains? Have you gone mad, Ethan?!”Ethan’s mouth shook at the fury of his father. He fell to the floor. “April has more knowledge and experience than you give her credit for, Father!“She can handle the posi

The Rejected Ex-wife 194 - Can I have this dance?
Lucy sat in the hotel room, dressed in her blue dress and texting Liam for an answer. When her phone finally rang and Liam displayed on the screen, she excused herself, and stepped out of the room. "I've been texting you for the past thirty minutes!" Lucy whisper-yelled as soon as the line connected. "What's going on? The mother's have been blowing my phone and I think June is already suspecting me.""You can leave the hotel. I arranged a car to take you both to the venue. It's a white limo." Liam said, expertly avoiding Lucy's question. "You still haven't told me what's going on! I deserve to-" Two beeps and the call disconnected. Liam hung up on her. Lucy gritted her teeth, trying to control her anger. She couldn't mess things up. Not today. She would handle him later. Summoning a smile, Lucy returned to the hotel room."We need to leave. Our ride is here." She said and June squinted, raising her head from the document she studied for the past several minutes. "Ride?"Lucy's ey

June sat in her office chair when Lucy hurriedly entered her room. "We have to leave!" She said with urgency in her tone.June blinked in confusion. "Why? Is there a problem?""Yes! The president is coming to visit the South City project site with some key investors.""The president has requested you to take them on a tour on site. We don't have much time." June got on her feet, gathering her phone and some other essentials, alongside the project blueprints. "How long do we have?" She asked. "Three hours." Lucy said, "According to the news, you are to get something with the investors before heading to the site.""The president has assigned our makeovers. We need to leave immediately." "Makeovers?" June asked with a frown. "Why would we need makeovers?""We don't have time. I'll explain on the way." Just like that Lucy dragged June out of the office for a makeover. They arrived at a hotel just close to the airport and while June tried to gather her thoughts, the hired team of pro
The Rejected Ex-wife 192 - Who is that?
April got into her hotel room dressed like a man. Her eyes were narrowed in anger as she threw down a lamp from the bedside table. "A surprise wedding, huh?" She gritted, blood burning with anger. "I'll give them a wedding to remember!" April flew into South City in disguise for a secret mission for the Cordel family. After seeing the press around her sister and Rafael's survival as well as her mother taking over the Lontoc and Rivera companies, she sought for an opportunity to come into South City and when the opportunity presented itself, she took it with both hands. However, due to her condition as a wanted person she couldn't go about freely for fear of getting caught as a dupe.

The Rejected Ex-wife 191 - Did you say surprise wedding?
"You are going to be an older brother." June said to a young Luis during dinner a few weeks later. The entire family gathered for a small dinner. Evelyn, Lucy, and Carson were present alongside Mrs Beatrice who celebrated the wonderful news. "I'll be a grandmother!" Mrs Evelyn cried, "I'm so happy for you, my child."The evening was a cozy one as they all congratulated the couple on the news. "You are finally getting all the good things you deserve." Lucy said, "I'm so happy for you."The night was not over as June decided to add another joyful news to the equation.

The Rejected Ex-wife 189 - She's awake
June woke up to soft kisses from Rafael who lay beside her. She smiled in her sleep as she blinked awake."Rafe-" She swooned, palming his face with a Loving gaze. "Hey, Wifey." He mused, "Good morning."Rafael proceeded to lavish kisses on her face, going in for her lips but she tactically avoided him. "I need to brush my teeth!" She said when he continued trying to kiss her on the lips. "I don't care-" Rafael mused. "Now let me kiss you." He demanded softly and she shook her head. The next second, June slipped away from the bed, successfully evading his kisses and giggling when her husband wore a duped expression. "I promise you can kiss me for as long as you want," she said, "Right after I freshen up." June hopped into the shower after taking care of her business, and halfway through it, the door opened and Rafael joined her inside. "Rafe-" June's eyes widened when she saw him walk in naked with his hard member in full display. "I'm only trying to freshen up too," Rafael mu

Liam returned to the Fernando estate and went to the dungeons where Lydia Cordel, the wife of the Late Andre Cordel was being held. "I was wondering when I'd finally see you," Lydia said as soon as she saw him at her gate. "I thought we were partners?""Do not forget your position, woman." Liam's voice was cold and aloof as he took on the aura of the cold mafia don he was. "Your life is a gift that could be taken at any time. You are advised to treasure it well." "If you wanted me dead I should be dead by now," Lydia said purposefully. "And I'm not dead.""Yet." Liam finished in a gritty tone. One of his men brought him a seat and he sat right in front of Lydia's cell, which was better than most since it had a bed and she received health care. "Tell me the truth and I might consider letting you keep your gift of life." He pulled off his black shades. "Did you or did you not kill your husband?""I did." She answered without skipping a beat. "And why would you do that?""Because he

June and Rafael spent their days together. It was like an unofficial vacation and honeymoon. Rafael made good progress on his health with June around to love and supervise him. Everything felt surreal for the love birds who had been apart for so long. One day, the doctor came in with good news, stating that Rafael was ready to leave the hospital, and scheduling him on weekly appointments to monitor his progress. June could barely hide her happy tears. It felt like everything was falling right into place. Although Rafael's legs were not strong, they were on the right path and she believed that in due time, he would learn to use his legs again. "I want to be discharged today," Rafael told the doctor, interlacing his fingers with June who sat by his bed smiling happily. "I can't spend a day more in this hospital." June laughed at the desperation in Rafael's voice. It's been a few rough weeks since she moved into the hospital with Rafael constantly trying to make love to her. They h
The Rejected Ex-wife 186 - He's awake
It was the early hours of the day and June was fast asleep when her phone started ringing. Having slept in from her busy night, she silenced the call and turned over, hoping to get some extra sleep before returning to Rafael's mansion. The phone started ringing again, disturbing not just her but Luis who turned in his sleep, disturbed by the noise. This time, June silenced the call, got up from bed, and headed out the balcony to answer the call. The phone stopped ringing before she could pick up and started ringing within a few seconds. It was Carson."You better have a good reason for calling me this early in the morning," June said once the call was connected, irritated from having her sleep disturbed. The line was flat. She could hear breathing but there was nothing. She removed the phone from her ears and checked if it was still active."Hello?" June said when she was certain the call was still connected. "Good morning, wifey." June stiffened upon hearing a gruff masculine
