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 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 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
