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

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

“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 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

“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

June didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Of course, she looked like the culprit! Or in this case, the accomplice. At that moment, she regretted listening to his mother and not putting on something decent. Something that would have hidden the painful erection of her nipples and the burning desire that plagued her. Nevertheless, she was determined to pull through this phase. “I need water...” She muttered and stepped away from his infatuating hold. “Hot...so hot.” June was close to removing the flimsy gown that clung to her skin while Rafael watched her like a hawk, jaws flexing and straining in restraint. He was the epitome of self-control! “There is a bottle of water in the fridge.” He said after what felt like hours.June looked around in search of the fridge. She opened it and her shoulders sagged, there was no water in sight. In fact, the only thing was a bottle of red wine. She took out the bottle with a frown on her face, “There is no water.” Rafael walked towards her, t
Last Updated : 2025-04-01The Rejected Ex-wife Why are you walking like that?
Knock! Knock! June and Rafael lay fast asleep on the bed until the sound of someone banging on the door awakened them. June sat up with the speed of light, covering herself with the sheets when she found she was naked underneath. Rafael couldn’t be bothered to get up. He took on a lot of work the night before and he required some more sleep for him to function properly. “Auntie! Are you in there?!” The small voice of Luis was all it took to get June up and running. Rafael sat up and watched her with an amused look as she viewed her torn clothes with horror. “Don’t just sit there, I need something to wear!” She whisper-yelled with a wild look on her face. Rafael finally stepped out of the bed in his full glory. June caught sight of his morning wood and she averted her eyes in shyness. Her actions were comic to Rafael who picked up a robe and became decent. “Don’t act all shy on me now, it’s nothing you haven’t seen or felt before.” These things he said with eye contact on June

The day grew and June stepped out of the house with Thomas. She had been briefed on a meeting by Lucy, who was hell-bent on working despite the loss of her father. It was a difficult pill to swallow and June was stuck between ordering her to take some time off or honouring her request to work so she could take her mind off things. Nevertheless, they were meeting an important guest today and Lucy refused to disclose the identity until they got on site. As they breezed through the city, June read the news of the fall of Joel Patel Constructions. ‘One of the trending news in the building sector/industry. Apparently, the young man was a former worker at the LT Constructions group until they fell out and he branched out and launched a business five years ago. The business had been successful, rising to the top and expanding its reach until recently, they were plunged into the fiery pits of debts. Forcing them to retreat from the limelight and tether at the corridors of bankruptcy. Acc

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
The Rejected Ex-wife 76 - Darn it! I think someone saw us.
The news of Anthonio’s death spread like wildfire and soon, the Rivera family was the talk of the town.

Condolences poured from various parts of South City as the Rivera family experienced the loss of yet another family member.

When June heard the news, she was in her office. Things strained around the house after the tiff with her mother-in-law, especially her relationship with Rafael.

The Rejected Ex-wife 75 - Don't push me
“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. She felt like it was all a waste of time seeing she was not hurt but to avoid upsetting her dear mother-in-law, she submitted herself to the process.Mrs Beatrice sat in the doctor’s office while June sat on her hospital bed, waiting for her mother-in-law’s verdict. “What did you find? Does she ha

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
