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

Mrs. Olivia and her husband summoned Ethan to the family house upon hearing the recent changes in the board.“What the hell are you doing, son?” Olivia asked before her husband made an entry. “How could you make her a part of the board?!”Ethan wanted to speak, but the words were lodged in his throat. 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

Things were coming along slowly with the JL Architectures launch.June and Lucy worked hand in hand as they slowly arranged the office while June sought out clients in need of her architectural skills, as well as properties she could develop and make into something profitable.A large chunk of the money she had received had gone down with making the office a homey place, and she didn’t for one moment regret making the place into what she envisioned.The only problem was the incessant lack of customers and clients. All efforts to secure paying customers in need of her services had proved futile, and she was on the verge of losing her mind.One of the days, after going through the series of rejections from prospective clients she pitched for, she was ready to call it a day and headed downstairs in search of Luis.Perhaps he could get her out of the mood she felt at the moment.Unfortunately, Luis was still busy with his classes, and the last thing she wanted was to be the reason he was

The weekend comes, and June is yet to receive the invite to the said party. It was one of the most anticipated engagements in the history of South City.A large number of important elites of the community had publicly declared their attendance at the event, congratulating the couple as soon as they received their invites.June decided to focus on her work and invest more in recruiting more members of the team ahead of the launch. Her goal was to have the first company project kick off before the official opening of JL Architectures, so she had a lot on her plate.That evening, June sat at her table in the room, typing away on her computer as she replied to some work emails from Lucy, who was doing the most in projecting the firm to prospective clients.These days, they had a trickle of prospective customers, which was a clear distance from the silence it used to be. However, they still had a long way to go.Three knocks came from the door and grabbed June’s attention from her work. Th

June noticed Lucy's unusual quietness as they approached the hotel where Ethan and April’s party would be held.“We will get down here, Thomas. You can park the car and come right in afterward,” she said to Thomas, who hummed in response, doing as he was told.Judging from the card she received, the party had started three hours ago, and they were extremely late. Good thing that she wasn’t aiming to make an impression. Seeing as she never thought she would be attending the party, she had come here with zero plans.This meant that other than the fact she was about to set eyes on the woman who ruined her life, she had no idea what to do or how to approach the matter. Thankfully, she had always known how to wing things.The duo soon got out of the car and trudged into the place, turning in their invites at the gate. The security was tight, as there were a lot of important people at the said event.“Name,” the security official asked, looking at June with curious eyes.Lucy was afraid, bu

Evelyn Rivera didn’t care. Instead, she lashed out at her daughter. “How dare you?” she fumed, stepping closer. “How dare you accuse me in this manner?”Her husband tried to hold her back. The last thing he wanted was for his wife to do something she would regret. It seemed like she was close to hitting their eldest daughter in public.“Accuse you?” June was perplexed.It seemed like her mother had bought into the business of acting.“Why would I accuse my mother?” She blinked. “Am I still permitted to call you that, seeing as you want me dead?”Evelyn stilled at her daughter’s words. She could feel the gazes of people on her, looking curiously and waiting for an answer. If she didn’t clear this up, there would be trouble.Immediately, she fell to the ground and forced tears out of her eyes. “How can you accuse me unjustly? Why would I want to kill my own child?”June wasn’t moved, but April came to the rescue, falling to the ground by her mother as she put up her best act yet.“Mothe

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
The Rejected Ex-wife 193 - Drop your gun
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 first few days, she spent carrying out her business with her colleagues until she had some free time. She decided to find out what her silly sister was up to and stalked her house only to find out she had long packed away. Apparently, June was living a comfortable life as the wife of Rafael while s
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. It was her mother's wedding anniversary and she hoped to brighten the day with some good news for Mrs Evelyn. "Thank you all for coming to celebrate with me." June said in a speech, "I want to use this medium to appreciate everyone for your intense support."She turned to Mrs Evelyn. "You've been the best mother to me, helping me through the hardest part of my life.""Child...""I just want to thank you. I am in a hap
The Rejected Ex-wife 190 - What's going on, Carson?
The next few months were a slow recovery for Mrs Beatrice with the support and love of her family. With the constant reassurance and love of Rafael, and the entire family, she was gradually becoming stronger which was good news for the extended family who were finally in unity. Rafael returned to work and in a matter of three months, Ambrose Corporation was able to make a startling profit of over seven hundred billion, quickly retaking their position as one of the top corporations in the world. June was not left to the side, JL Architectures were making waves with the new South City project up and running and the public support. June and Rafael made their relationship public, garnering the support of the masses who followed, adored and loved the powerful couple. The news raved about how they survived the ghastly accident, their journey as a couple and their unconditional love for each other. Everything progressed well and on Luis's birthday, his parents and family showered him w
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
The Rejected Ex-wife 187 - You will always be family
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
