The Rejected Ex-wife 64 - Who dares to touch my auntie?
It was soon the announcement day and June rented a room with Lucy at a hotel close to the event venue. They were to get their make-up and fit done by the professionals hired. Soon enough, June and Lucy were at the event venue, Just in time for the anniversary of Mr and Mrs Joseph. The area was crowded with reporters and elites were invited for the lovely celebration of their marriage. “It’s such a pity that Mrs Joseph did all of this only to be cheated on by her husband,” Lucy said as she took in the level of preparation and money put into the event. “What a disgrace of a husband.” June felt her heart wrench. She felt caught in the web of things, knowing what she knew and yet unable to tell her. For the past few days since she saw Mr Joseph and figured he wasn’t the picture description of a loyal husband, she wondered what to do. Mrs Joseph was celebrating thirty-five years of marriage with her husband and the last thing she wanted was to take away that feeling from her. She knew

The atmosphere was tense as Mrs Joseph tried to recover the situation. “Are you in business with this woman?” The filth in her tone could not be hidden. “I advise that you cut off whatever business you have with-” “Shush,” Rafael said, his tone riddled with irritation. Luis released his father’s hand and rushed to June, hugging her leg. “Let’s have dinner together Auntie!”Hearing the young lad's sound so taken by her came as a surprise to all the participants who heard the horror stories of the young lad, who was a tyrant to all the nannies and employees who worked for the Ambrose family. June swallowed and then squatted to meet his size. “Are you hungry, baby?” She whispered, rubbing his hair with a loving gaze. Luis nodded gingerly. “I will just finish things here and we will go grab something together, okay?” April who was shocked at the dramatic turn of events couldn’t stand still. She had never shared a room with the most powerful man in South City and yet that wench sister

News of the downfall of the Joseph family splattered the news the next day. Mr Joseph was automatically removed from the race for the position of Councilman. The shares he had acquired with Ambrose Corporations were seized, and he was forced to pay damages for soiling the company's name through his scandal. The Ambrose Corporation lawyers were demanding two hundred billion dollars in damage, which is equivalent to his life's worth if he lived an extra seventy years. Coupled with many lawsuits he faced from young ladies who exposed him to be a predator for women in the modelling industry, and allegedly holding materials he used to blackmail them into sleeping with them repeatedly, it was safe to say Mr Joseph's life was over. The Ambrose Corporation also issued a statement cutting all ties with Mrs Joseph’s family. Mrs Cordelia was the eldest daughter of the Baron group, a monopolised oil company that catered to the needs of South City in partnership with Ambrose Corporations. The

“Where is he?!” Evelyn barged into the Lontoc family house. “Where the hell did you keep him?!” April relaxed on the sofa, having expected this visit. “Welcome to my house, Mother. Would you like some tea?” “You witch! Who made you this way?! How could you...How could you kidnap your father?!” April was unbothered. “If you have come to throw accusations, I suggest you use the door.” She took a sip of her tea. “I am in no mood for your theatrics. Matter of fact, I am still shaking in my boots, waiting for the twelve-hour mark so I can come to beg you.” Evelyn couldn’t recognise the person in front of her. The smirk she wielded like a sword, the coldness that oozed from her poise and the cruel comical look in her eyes. She had underestimated this daughter of hers. “Let him go. Leave him out of this.” April corked her brow, “I still don’t understand what you are saying, Mother. Seat down and speak clearly.” She looked over her watch. “I don’t have much time.” Evelyn took a deep br

Ever since the scandal surrounding JL Architectures, the business has slowed. The number of orders they received trickled to a stop, and soon, June was worried about the lasting impact of Mrs. Joseph’s words at the party. “Do you think we should issue a statement?” Lucy asked thoughtfully. We can’t keep trying to cushion the effects on Mrs Joseph to our detriment. We need to defend ourselves.” June knew that choosing to maintain silence at such a critical time could hurt JL but she couldn’t shake off the guilt she felt at Mrs Joseph's current situation. Following Rafael’s intervention, Mrs Joseph and her family were going through a lot with Mr Joseph’s removal as Councilman, the ongoing divorce and the hit Baron Oil had taken due to the situation. The news was riddled with bad news about the Joseph family - one that increased as the days passed. She hated to add to the situation by re-digging the case and making a public statement with proof that she had been innocent and was the

June was seated in her office at JL when Lucy barged into the room with a crazed look on her face. “Ma’am! You need to see this!” With the new office project set to begin, June had a lot on her hands and barely had time to check her phone or find out what was going on. Things were so hectic, she only had time to focus on her work and her little family. “What is it?” She looked up and watched Lucy flick on the medium-sized television. Lucy picked up the remote control, and soon, they were watching the morning news. The headline of the news nearly took June’s breath out. She couldn’t believe her eyes. June shook her head, “No way.” She muttered, attention arrested as she listened to the newscaster’s report of the death of her ex-husband. “Ethan Lontoc’s body has been found in his prison cell, where he committed suicide using a small kitchen knife. According to the autopsy, multiple self-inflicted stab wounds were seen on his body, some of which affected his lungs and caused him to

Evelyn stood by the bedside while April thought about what to do about the situation. April and June’s little fracas was a trending video on the internet. Everyone who followed the sister’s rivalry was taken with the revelation of April’s alleged extramarital affair. Once again, the tides were not on her side. People were beginning to analyse things and June got the longer end of the stick this time.April turned to her mother with flaming eyes. “You caused this! Why would you bring up the child thing?! Did you collude with your daughter to disgrace me?!” Evelyn leaned in shock. “You wanted me to put her on the spot. You asked me to do what I did.” She explained. “I never knew-” “You should have known!” She roared. “I don’t clothe and feed you so you could carry an empty head! Now look at this mess! I asked you to put her on the spot about Ethan’s death and all you did was return me to square one.”Evelyn stuttered, unable to understand how she was to be blamed for the outcome of a

Mrs Beatrice had followed the entire fiasco from afar. When she saw JL Architectures trending, the multiple allegations meted against June, and the sudden turn of events, she decided to conduct her own investigations. She felt concerned with the amount of hatred and bad blood between her daughter-in-law and her family, and she hoped that a visit would mend broken bonds and form new family bonds too. It was about time she got to know her in-laws too! If she left it up to her son, she would grow grey hairs and be six feet under before she got the pleasure of meeting them. Hence, she took matters into her own hands. Mrs Beatrice had informed April and her mother of her desire to visit, and they made proper preparations to welcome the honoured guest. In the Rivera family house, April spoke to her mother. “Mrs Beatrice Ambrose is akin to the Queen Mother of South City. If she wants to see us, I believe it has something to do with that daughter of yours!” She fumed. “No matter what ha

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

“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?

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
