The Rejected Ex-wife 34 - Who says I'm interested in this poor man?
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

June couldn’t help the irritation that stroked her heart at the tone of the woman in front of her. After the night she’d had, the last thing she needed was another woman trying to get on her nerves.“Who are you, and why are you here?!” the woman screeched when June didn’t spare her a word.“I should be asking you, seeing as you came to my home.”A scoff. “Your home? Where the hell is Rafael?!”“What are you doing here?” a cold voice said from behind June.Rafael and Luis had joined the party. June stepped away from the door, refusing to handle any unnecessary drama. The woman in front of her seemed to have no shortage of drama to unleash.“Rafe... Who is this woman, and why is she in your home this late at night?”June couldn’t help but notice the fondness in her tone as she spoke to her husband. What was their relationship?Rafael seemed to be running short of patience, and instead of answering, he moved to close the door, but the woman stuck a leg into his home.“Mother said I coul

The next morning, June took an early trip to the hospital to meet with Doctor Carson.If there was one thing that her last night’s rendezvous had done to her, it was awakening her insatiable thirst for vengeance on her family—especially April. She was going to make her pay for killing her and ruining her chances of having a baby.She would do it even if it was the last thing she did on earth.June arrived at the hospital with Thomas by her side. These days, he was like a shadow of her, towering over her and protecting her in the way he knew how.He barely spoke, but June knew he was efficient in his work, regardless of his absent social skills.“I want to see Doctor Carson,” June said to a nurse behind the city’s counter.The young lady, who looked like she wanted to be anywhere but there, shot her a bored look. “Do you have an appointment?”“I don’t. But if you can tell him that—”“Then you can return when you have one.” The woman cut her off in a flippant tone. “Anything else?”June

“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

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

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

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

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 80 - Are you Mrs. Rivera?
Mrs Evelyn left the house a few hours after June left for work. It was past noon when she finally left the house with some money to aid her journey. She dressed in a black assemble and boarded a cab that headed to the Rivera family house. When she reached the neighbourhood, she put on her face mask and sneaked her way into the estate where her home stood in majesty. Her entry was swift and painless. The house seemed nearly deserted, and it was easy for her to manoeuvre her way into the place she had lived for most of her life. As soon as she got in, she headed right for her bedroom with her heart in her mouth. The last thing she wanted was to get caught in breaking into her own home, or worse, April finding out she was in the house. Evelyn was sure it wouldn’t end well if April met her in the house or got to know she had been anywhere near the parameters of the house. Nostalgic feelings attacked her upon entering her bedroom, and she was immediately reminded of who she had lost.
The Rejected Ex-wife 79 - Let me take care of you
Rafael left the sitting room when Mrs Evelyn’s tears grew heavy. June’s heart broke at the sight of her mother looking so distraught and grieved. “Mother...” Her eyes glassed with unshed tears. “I don’t deserve your kindness,” Evelyn said and stood on your feet. “It's preposterous of me to accept anything from you after all I did to you.” “Mother..”“No.” Evelyn shook her head and wiped her tears. “What I did is unforgivable. I maltreated and let you suffer because I couldn’t deal with my grief.”Tears pooled June’s eyes as she listened to her mother. “All these years, I blamed you. I blamed you for getting lost as a child in that hospital. I blamed you for putting our family through tough times, I blamed you for my husband’s death. Anytime something evil came to me, I found a way to blame you for it.” “I hated the fact I lost you and couldn’t bear the guilt of losing you as a child in that hospital, so I decided to bring in someone who could replace you. I brought in the devil a
The Rejected Ex-wife 78 - What’s going on?
The entire house was silent as eyes turned to April with shock. “It’s a lie! She isn’t alright! The doctors are coming to pick her up! I already told you all she lost her mind! Why...why can’t you see it?” April cried but this time no one bought her facade. People who were once on her side, having pity and empathy for her suddenly stepped aside in shock as they watched her lie repeatedly. “Mother! Please, stop this.” April moved towards Evelyn who stepped back in fear. “Please! I know you are hurting from father’s death but I promise, things will be fine. I will take care of you and your doctor will soon be here.”“Just-”“Do not take one more step,” June said in a tone that brought goosebumps to the skin of her hearers. “One more step and I promise, you would be taken to the hospital yourself.” When April found that no one believed her act and everything was out in the open, she wiped her face clean and put a stern look on her face. “Enough, June. Congratulations! You found a mad
The Rejected Ex-wife 77 - I’d like to see you try!
“Sister! Why are you so bent on slandering me? Why are you so-” April fell to the floor, tears streaming down her eyes. “The past few days have been hell for me since father’s untimely death, and mother’s insanity.”“I tried calling you for the longest time but you refused to pick my calls.” She wept, “Now you show up here and try to pin this on me? Why do you hate me so much, sister? What did I ever do?” The visitors were moved by compassion for April and scorn for her sister. “That woman is such a wicked person!” One said in anger.“She doesn’t care for her mother! She is just here to cause a scene!” Another said, “Why are they letting crap like her come into this house? Mrs Evelyn had already told us about this daughter of hers before she lost her mind. She should not be allowed to come into this house!”“Such a shameless woman! Bullying her younger sister for trying to carry the family name while she whores about! Despicable!”Soon enough, the entire house turned against June w

“Sir! The young miss has been involved in an accident at the site!”Rafael was in his office when his assistant told him the distressing news. His face froze, and he abandoned everything he had at hand. “Cancel the meetings and ready the car. We leave immediately!” Rafael hit the road to a private hospital where his wife was held. He couldn’t understand why she wasn’t taken to the South City Hospital where Carson could take proper care of his wife but when he found that his mother was around at the time of the accident, he let himself relax a bit. Meanwhile, June had undergone all sorts of tests which she deemed useless as not a single hair on her head needed to be put in the right place.

June returned home from a long day of work at the site. The building project was on course after her designs were approved. Joel Patel and some men were assigned to ensure the building was a physical representation of the design while she handled the job of ensuring everything was under control. “There you are!” June jolted at the sound of her mother-in-law who approached her with a smile. “How are you doing?”“Mother!” She greeted me with a smile. “I’ve missed you!” “Oh dear, I missed you too. You and my sweet boys.” She cooed. “Have you eaten? I brought some food from home. Let’s have an early dinner. Just the two of us.” Mrs Beatrice had left the house a week ago to attend to pressing needs in the Ambrose family home. She didn’t specify how long she would stay but June was happy to have her. “Sure!” June took to her room, freshened up and joined her mother-in-law for an early dinner. The atmosphere was light as they spoke on light topics until Mrs Beatrice said, “I know my so
The Rejected Ex-wife 73 - Who is that child?
“You’ve got to be joking,” Evelyn said with a small smile but was met with bone-serious looks from her daughter and her strange man. When she saw that this was not a joke, she lost it. “Are you crazy? Have you gone mad?! Do not for one moment think you can intimidate me into giving away my company because you will be in for a rude awakening.”“Read my lips. I am not Ethan. Neither am I any of his godforsaken parents, if you try to mess with me, I will bring you down without a moment's thought.”April and Colton shared gazes and burst into a round of mocking laughter together. “You didn’t tell me she was this feisty, darling,” Colton said and kissed the space between her neck and body. “Oh pay her no mind. She is all bark and no bite.” April said, closing her eyes as she leaned into the kiss. “I have her on leech.” Evelyn's eyes reddened and she shook with anger. “Just try me. I beg you. Test me this time and see if I don’t bite you. I am done playing your silly games, child.”She s
The Rejected Ex-wife 72 - Would you like a demonstration?
June and her team were seated in one of Ambrose Corporation's meeting rooms, where they were set to present the final design of the new office project. While they waited for Rafael, June felt her nerves twist. She wanted her husband to like this design. With every project she embarked on, she aimed for perfection but with her husband in the picture, she was reaching for the stars. The last thing she wanted was to get this deal solely because she was his wife. Hence, when Rafael delayed to show up, her nerves twisted all over the place. Soon enough, Rafael came into the meeting, and they all stood up to welcome him. “I am sorry for my lateness.” He said with his eyes fixated on June. Lucy and Joel smiled awkwardly. They could wait a lifetime if it meant meeting with such a royalty-personified human! They must have done something right in their former lives to be blessed with such an opportunity! “It’s no problem,” June said and they all had their seats. Throughout the viewing, Ra
