The Rejected Ex-wifeย ย ย 34 - Who says I'm interested in this poor man?
Evelyn Rivera didnโt care. Instead, she lashed out at her daughter. โHow dare you?โ she fumed, stepping closer. โHow dare you accuse me in this manner?โHer 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.โAccuse you?โ June was perplexed.It seemed like her mother had bought into the business of acting.โWhy would I accuse my mother?โ She blinked. โAm I still permitted to call you that, seeing as you want me dead?โEvelyn stilled at her daughterโs words. She could feel the gazes of people on her, looking curiously and waiting for an answer. If she didnโt clear this up, there would be trouble.Immediately, she fell to the ground and forced tears out of her eyes. โHow can you accuse me unjustly? Why would I want to kill my own child?โJune wasnโt moved, but April came to the rescue, falling to the ground by her mother as she put up her best act yet.โMothe

June couldnโt help the irritation that stroked her heart at the tone of the woman in front of her. After the night sheโd had, the last thing she needed was another woman trying to get on her nerves.โWho are you, and why are you here?!โ the woman screeched when June didnโt spare her a word.โI should be asking you, seeing as you came to my home.โA scoff. โYour home? Where the hell is Rafael?!โโWhat are you doing here?โ 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.โRafe... Who is this woman, and why is she in your home this late at night?โJune couldnโt 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.โMother 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 nightโs rendezvous had done to her, it was awakening her insatiable thirst for vengeance on her familyโespecially 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.โI want to see Doctor Carson,โ June said to a nurse behind the cityโs counter.The young lady, who looked like she wanted to be anywhere but there, shot her a bored look. โDo you have an appointment?โโI donโt. But if you can tell him thatโโโThen you can return when you have one.โ The woman cut her off in a flippant tone. โAnything else?โJune

โThatโs it! She canโt get married to you! Over my dead body!โ 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 Aprilโs words.โThis wench will never be my daughter-in-law! Not while I am alive!โโEnough!โ Gary Lontoc hit his walker on the floor with a frown on his face.โThis wenchโโโSit down, Olivia!โ Ethanโs 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, Ethanโs father continued.โWhat exactly is going on in this family?โ he said to his son. โWhat is this I am hearing?โโFather,โ Ethan said with quivering lips. โIt was all a misunderstanding. Mother came to the office, and things escalated. It wonโt happen again.โโThat does not answer my question, Ethan.โ Gary took a seat on the chair, and his eyes focused on April, who was yet to say a word. โWhy

June was seated across from Carson in a restaurant.โI need everything you have on this case,โ June said. โEvery single footage from my stay at the hospital until the very moment I was out of there.โCarson shrugged. โSo far, we donโt 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.โโThank you.โ June wore a serious expression. โIf my sister knew I was alive, she wouldnโt sit still. Judging from the shock on her face, it was clear she thought me dead, which begs the questionโwhy?โโWhy would my sister find it difficult to believe I survived, Doctor?โ Juneโs tone was rhetorical. โBecause she made sure I was dead. Or at least paid someone to finish the job.โโWhich means in the time you were fighting for your life, she would have triedโโ Carsonโs eyes widened. โThat is just wicked. I will definitely go through the videos and get them through to you when they are ready.โJune nodded. โThank you. Iโd 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 Rafaelโs 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 babyโs 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. โWhat is it? Why do you look so distraught?โโItโs sister. Sheโs looking for clues. She wants to send me to prison. We need to do something.โ The words spewed out of her mouth, her fear clear as day.โCalm down and speak so I understand!โ Evelyn said, trying to calm her daughter, who was panicking.โJune was at the hospital. She went to see the medical director of South City Hospital.โ April paced around the room. โI donโt feel comfortable with having her go around. What if she is planning something? What if she has something on me?โโShe canโt,โ her mother said. โI made sure thatโโโIn the same way you made sure that she was killed, and here she is, back from the grave!

The Rejected Ex-wifeย ย ย 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-wifeย ย ย 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-wifeย ย ย 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-wifeย ย ย 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

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

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
