The Rejected Ex-wife 54 - I didn't raise you to be a chicken. Be a man for once!
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

April was not granted bail. A fact that drove her nuts when the news was broken to her by her mother. “That husband of yours is on a warpath. He sent evidence of his father’s death and made it all seem like it was your work and the family was only a casualty.” April held her head in anger, her thoughts spiralling out of control. She needed to get out or everything she had worked for would come crashing down. She couldn’t lose. Not now, not ever. She had hoped things wouldn’t get to this point but there was nothing else she could do. She had to make a call and fast. April turned to her mother with desperation written on her face. “I need you to do something.”...On the other side of things, June got a front-row seat as the deaths of Lucy and Ethan’s father were roped on April’s neck. Making things even more complicated. Today was the first hearing of the case and if things went well, she hoped it would be the last. With double murder charges hanging in the balance and nothing t

June watched in shock as Ethan was taken out of the room with his mother hot on his trails and in tears. She couldn’t believe it. “We need to go,” Thomas said when she remained rooted to her seat. Lucy looked pale as she sat in the room while others made their way out of the place. “I don’t believe it.” She voiced June’s thoughts. “Ethan Lontoc? He...I don’t think he... He had no reason to... Why would he kill my father to frame his wife...how can-”“We will dissect this later.” June rose to her feet. “For now, we need to get out of here.”The trio soon made their way out of the court, everyone occupied with thoughts on the general situation. They got to the car park and met with April, her mother and the lawyer. April smiled as soon as she saw them. “Look who we have here, Mother.” She walked up to them. “How does it feel to be an epic failure?” June stepped forward, shielding Lucy. “For someone whose husband will spend the rest of his days locked in prison you sure look happy.”

Rafael woke with a light stomach ache. He turned his head and came face to face with a mop of black hair. His instinct moved him to touch it and June jolted awake. Hitting his nose in the process. “Ow!” He couldn’t help the sound that escaped his throat when her head crunched his nose. June was suddenly widely awake and remorseful when she saw blood dripping from his nose. “I am so sorry!” She stood up, looking around the room for some tissues. “Darn it!” She cussed when she couldn’t find anything in the drawers, “Give me a minute.”Rafael watched her with curiosity as she entered the bathroom and came out a minute later holding a box of tissues. She sat beside him, wiping his nose and burying the blood with tissues. Rafael watched her with fond looks, letting her do her thing. Soon enough, June disposed of the tissues and returned to the room. With one look around the place, June decided the room needed some deep cleaning. June began her job, picking up some discarded clothes f

June and Rafael grew closer as time passed. So much so that he pushed for them to have a wedding as he was tired of being the closet husband. “You make me feel like there is another man out there.” Rafael joked as he kissed down her spine. “Why can’t we do the wedding? I want to publicly claim you as mine.” “I know, but JL is still in its early stages. I need to become a woman worthy of you before we go public. I don’t want people handing things over to me just to curry your favour.” “Why is that such a bad thing?” Rafael sounded like a child as he pouted. “I don’t mind being used if it means I get to have you anywhere and everywhere.” June chuckled and stepped away from him. “I have an important meeting with one of your shareholders today. Do me a favour and don’t interfere.” That caught Rafael’s attention. “Who is it?” “You don’t need to know. Unless I get the job of course. Wish me luck.” She got off the bed, standing with her hands on her waist. “You don’t need it.” Rafael

Mrs Joseph sent word to JL and LT Constructions, inviting them for the 25th anniversary of her marriage to her husband in a few weeks. She informed the contenders she would select the designs a few days before the event as the winning work would be showcased at the event. June received the notice from Lucy and arrived at the company for a meeting. They were to rub heads together and come up with a theme and story for the new home of the Joseph family. Inside the meeting room. June, Lucy, Joel and the company’s project manager were seated around a table as they aired their opinions on the subject matter. “I think we should make it luxurious. Something that transcends generations and speaks to the status of the family.” Lucy said excitedly, happy to be a part of the brainstorming process. Joel Patel gave his bit. “The Joseph family is a large one. If she intends to make it a family house, then we are looking at a mansion. One that could easily host the numbers and show off the fami

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
The Rejected Ex-wife 193 - Drop your gun
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
