The Rejected Ex-wife 49 - Evil has always looked good on you
It was Ethan’s and April’s wedding week. The news of their union was the most talked about on every media channel. Everyone raved about the prestigious event as they gingerly prepared to throw the biggest wedding the City has ever seen. Lucy was also burying her father. After one week of grieving, she decided to lay the old man to rest in a small gathering. June was there to support her, as well as other family members. Together, they witnessed the laying to rest of her father and tears were shed. The atmosphere was gloomy and soon, the people trickled out of the grave site. Ready to return to life as they knew it. April had also found out about the ceremony. Ever since the last time she met with Lucy, she had kept track of her movements, hoping to find out where June lived and what she was up to. However, due to the fact Lucy was working remotely as she mourned the passing of her father, there hadn’t been much to report until it was time for the burial. April sat in a tinted ca

With Joel Patel on the crew, things proceeded with JL Company, which brought a new phase of the business. June is busier as she takes on individual and corporate projects while Lucy is made vice president for the firm. Things are also chaotic at home, following Luis' drastic change of character. Ever since she was revealed as Rafael’s wife, Luis had yet to have a conversation with her. June decided to speak with her little prince in the room, hoping they could find a bridge and settle their differences. Although Luis was glad to see his auntie peek into his room, he remained seated and adamant as he watched some documentary that played on the TV.“Baby..” June entered the room and sat beside him, “I miss you.” Luis huffed, still upset. “I am not your husband.” June hid the smile that threatened to break out her lips. “But you are my baby, my favourite. Auntie’s heart is broken.” Luis spared her a glance but kept his mouth in a pout. “I was supposed to marry you. Not my father! He

“Cara...Cara...” Rafael mumbled in his sleep, thrashing around the bed. June woke up to see him struggling and tried for some time to wake him up. “Rafael!” She shook him when he didn’t wake up, almost getting scared by his display. Rafael jolted from the bed, sweat dripping down his back and torso. The bed was soaked with the heat that emanated from him. His jaws flexed as he looked over at the time. It was just two am. “Are you okay? What is going on?” A worried look etched on June’s face. “Did you have a nightmare?” “Go to sleep.” Rafael stood up from the bed, put on his robe and made to leave. “Wait... where are you going?” The sound of the door closing was all she needed to know that he was gone. Rafael looked like he’d seen a ghost as he walked past his office and stopped in front of his room door. He couldn’t believe he’d forgotten. Without a word, Rafael opened the door to the place he only visited once a year. His room. The only day he allowed himself to feel and fal

“You look so beautiful darling, the world will sing your name today,” Evelyn said to her daughter in the dressing room. April was dressed in a stunning wedding dress, makeup and hair done to perfection as they helped her to a stand where she looked at her reflection. “I can’t believe it’s finally come. Everything is working so perfectly.” She said with a smile, “I can’t wait for sister to show up and watch me get married to the man of her dreams.”At the mention of June, Evelyn’s face was marred with a frown. “I still don’t understand why you had to invite that wench. She is bad luck, I hope she doesn’t show up.” “Today is a happy occasion. I would not put it behind her to cause a ruckus and drag all the attention to herself!” April smiled, of course, she had thought things out carefully before taking the liberty to invite that wench to her wedding. In fact, she planned to end her life today. If everything went according to plan, then her life would be ruined. “Don’t worry mother

The video cut off before they could find out what happened and June’s face appeared again. This time, it was a live feed. “Hello, Sister.” She said with a smile, “I hope you enjoyed my little gift.” “What is this? Are you trying to get back at me for having brother Ethan?” April spoke in hysterics. “I already apologized! He chose me! Why are you trying to ruin me?” “I am not trying to ruin you, my dear. I think you manage that properly on your own.” A small smirk. “I just need to know that nurse’s identity. I am sorry I had to take drastic measures, but I figured with such an important event being televised to all South City, you could help my vice president a bit in finding out who killed her father.” “Didn’t you say you would assist your former employee in any way you could at the burial? I think this the best way to frighten the culprit out of hiding, as this nurse is still unable to be found.” “And you use her wedding?!” Evelyn stepped into the conversation. “How wicked can y

June, Lucy, Carson and Joel were seated in the office as they discussed their next step of action. “I don’t think it is enough. We need to close in on her, and put her behind bars! She should pay for her crimes.” Lucy lamented. Carson supported the notion, “I think we should press for charges. It cannot be a mere coincidence that the hospital footage of your father’s death was altered. We would never have made the connections if we had not involved the private investigator who dug out the real videos.” “Can’t we put that sister of yours behind bars with the evidence we have?” Joel Patel inquired. “Everything is aligned. The threats made, the sudden death on the day the threats were given. The gloating at the burial ceremony. Surely this should end that woman.” June remained silent as she thought on the topic. Last night, she had received a shocking revelation from the private investigator that she’d employed with Carson to look into her murder attempt. After meeting constant road

“Quick! Call nine one one! He needs to be rushed to the hospital!” Ethan cried, holding his father in place. April couldn’t pretend to care. Ethan’s father had shown how little he cared for her when she was declared Ethan’s prospective wife after June. Left to her, she hoped he died so she could finally be rid of him. “What are you waiting for, take the elder to the hospital!” April ordered when no one moved. They were all waiting for her orders. Soon enough, the ambulance came and Gary Lontoc was rushed to the hospital with a crying Olivia with him. The mood was sour and Ethan looked like his life had been snatched from him. “Put yourself together.” April snapped when they arrived at the company. “I don’t want my first meeting as CEO to be marred by your gloominess!” Ethan swallowed, trying to put up a smile that looked like a cringe. “And make sure that this news is contained. The only thing that needs to be on the news is my inauguration as the CEO and the merger. Do you unde

April refused to say a word until her lawyer was available. Following her public arrest, viral wedding, and a new appointment as the CEO of Rivera Stores and LT Constructions, the scandal was a huge one that garnered a lot of attention. April was in her room when her mother came with the family lawyer. “You have ten minutes.” The police officer said before stepping out of the room. “What is going on? Why am I still here?” She asked her mother, barely managing to contain her anger. “We are working tirelessly to secure your bail. That wench June is responsible for this. She just wants you to suffer! I will make sure I deal with her.” Evelyn said to her daughter, battling her anger. “Your bail is in process. You will have to pay-”“I don’t care how much that needs to be paid!” April yelled at the lawyer. “Get me out of here and I will take care of things myself.” “Okay, Ma’am.” The lawyer stood up and left the room, deciding he would be more useful trying to secure his boss's rele

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. According to the news, Anthonio had returned from a vacation and slipped from the stairs of the Rivera mansion. An accident that led to his untimely demise. Condolences poured from various parts of South City as the Rivera family experienced the loss of yet another family member. Things had gone out of hand and some netizens went as far as pointing out the alarming rate of deaths and misfortunes that seemed to visit the Rivera family and their inlaws. 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. She knew that most of the strain was because she felt guilty about her unsettled case with his mother but she planned to do everything she could to make things work. April was in the Rivera family house with Colton when her mother attacked her in tears. “You killed him! Y
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
