June sat in the room with Lucy and Joel as they previewed their entry for the South City Resort Project. Since her mother’s return, she felt a lot of joy and worked more efficiently. As a result, the process was sped up.

“I think this is the best project I’ve ever seen,” Joel said with a genuine look of awe. “When you pitched the idea, I didn’t think it would come out this good.”

“I know right!” Lucy chimed. “If they don’t accept this design, we’ll take on the project ourselves. It’ll be their loss!”

“No one with eyes would reject this,” Joel said as he inspected the final draft further. “The thought behind it is so powerful too.”

June smiled but refused to let her hopes up. She was finally in a decent place but the last thing she needed was to get her hopes too high. She looked forward to getting the contract but tried to manage her expectations.

“Whatever. The showing is in two weeks. I need the design to be in HD. Get the technical team to get to work, I’ll be supervising the f

  • The Rejected Ex-wife   Walked into a trap

    “Are you so incompetent you decide to steal my design?” June said to April at the car park after their presentation. “I thought you were better than a common thief.”April held her head high, watching June with intent eyes. “What are you talking about? If you are insecure about your presentation, you should return to your benefactor. I know you slept your way into being considered for this deal.”She stepped in her face and whispered, “Between us girls, tell me, how did it feel to sleep with an old man for profits? We all know that’s the only way you could have gotten this far.” Although April wore a confident aura, she was broken inside. Everything had gone wrong with the world as she knew it and it was a matter of time before she drowned in the waves. “I don’t blame you.” June seethed. “For someone who had everything handed over to you, or stolen from someone, it’s hard to believe someone can build something meaningful from their sweat.”April was ticked. “Do not insult me, June.”

  • The Rejected Ex-wife   Make it snappy

    The minister opened the door and ushered June into the house. June said her thanks and walked inside with a clear mind, ready to access and bring the place to life.A frown marred her face when she found that the place was intact. Everything seemed odd in the red and black-themed penthouse that held a single bed in the middle of what was supposed to be the living room. When she heard the door click shut, June turned around with narrowed eyes. “What is going on?” She said, stepping back when the older man advanced towards her.“Don’t be shy. I don’t have much time. Take off your clothes and we will make it quick and memorable.” The minister said with a smile on his face, “I promise to make you feel good,”June felt her guard shoot up when she realised what was going on. She shook her head and felt a wave of pain hit her. Her vision blurred and she struggled to have coherent thoughts. Fear gripped her at the possibility of her getting drugged. Or worse, raped. “Let me go...” She mutt

  • The Rejected Ex-wife   Since Cara died

    The next day, June felt better. Her mother visited the hospital with Luis and Lucy who felt terrible at the turn of events. She fell to the floor and apologised. “I am so sorry for what has happened, If I had been more prudent, this could have been averted,” Lucy said with a downcast look. “I’m so sorry.”June was quick to ease her worry. “How could you have known a reputable minister could be this terrible? I am just glad to be alive and unscathed. You shouldn’t take responsibility for others' wrongdoing.” Although Lucy understood her words, she couldn’t shake off the guilt that consumed her. With the newest scandal that rocked the media, young girls came up to share their morbid experiences with the predator who targeted women young enough to be his daughter and shut them up with money. It was a terrible day in the media sphere. The worst part was the bad press it gave to June and JL Architectures. Someone seemed to be pushing the narrative of June giving men sexual favours in ex

  • The Rejected Ex-wife   Meet me at XCity, VIP Section

    “I already told you! I mentioned it in passing and you just confirmed it.” Beatrice stood on her words. “Why would you pay someone to pose as your wife, anyway? It’s not like you were under any kind of pressure.”Rafael didn’t buy into her attempts to shift the attention from the focus. “Don’t lie to me. Who was it?” His tone left no room for escape. “Mother.” He pushed when she remained silent.“Fine! I admit! I found out it was all a sham.” Beatrice said, unable to hide her delight. “Don’t even think about asking me who it was because I’m never telling.” She vowed. Rafael swore under his breath when it suddenly clicked. “Clarence.” He took a wild guess. She was the only new person who had been around him. Beatrice couldn’t maintain a poker face. “Did you send her to spy on us?” His tone reflected the ridiculousness of the situation. “I already told you. I will not speak further on this.” Beatrice said. “How long will you be gone for? If you want Luis to stay with me?” Rafael ro

  • The Rejected Ex-wife   Lovely night out with my love

    Clarence got to the club thirty minutes later. She was dressed in a short black corset dress that accentuated her curves and light make-up. She entered the club and headed straight for the VIP section. Right away, she spotted a man hunched over the bar and made her way towards him. As she got closer, she couldn’t help but admire Rafael’s good looks when he suddenly raised his head to drink some more. She walked up to him and sat beside him. “One glass of wine please.” She ordered and waited for him to recognise her but he didn’t. Rafael who was drunk and caught up with thoughts of June and his life moving forward could hardly care about his surroundings or the women that seemed to flock around him.He just wanted peace with his thoughts and it seemed everyone couldn’t understand. He took another big gulp from his cup and felt his guard go a couple notches down as he pondered if his security were around for the smallest seconds. Clarence watched Rafael mutter incoherent words as he

  • The Rejected Ex-wife   What do you have against my daughter?

    The next morning, Rafael woke up with a migraine. He squinted his eyes as rays of sunlight from the window threatened to blind his eyes. He noticed the foreign scent that wrapped the bed beneath him first. A bed that felt nothing like his own. He sat up with wonder and took a swift look at his surroundings. Rafael noticed a mop of brown hair on the pillow beside him and his eyes widened when he realised he was bare-chested. “What is going on?” He wrecked his head for answers of how he got there but came up short. Just then, Clarence turned around, still fast asleep and bare to her underwear. Rafael was shocked at the sight of his late wife’s sister who soundlessly slept beside him. He jolted off the bed and sought for his clothes. Rafael found his clothes littered on the floor and reeking of alcohol. He quickly wore it, just in time for Clarence to wake up with a smile on her face. “Where are you going? Come, come, it’s still too early.” She muttered from the bed, sat up and rub

  • The Rejected Ex-wife   You will never find a woman like me

    “Where did you go?” June asked when the silence became too much to bear. “I waited all night.”Rafael swallowed, unable to speak. “Did you sign the documents?” “Did you cheat on me?” She asked, cutting to the point. Rafael’s shocked eyes betrayed him. June felt a dagger stab into her heart and twist painfully. This man had done a number on her and here she was, hoping and waiting he would at least give an explanation. Something to justify what he had done or at least the thought process behind it. At this point, she just wanted something. She needed to know what went through his head. But he gave her nothing. No explanation. Just plain guilt written over his frosty face. When he gave her nothing, she pressed forward with a question. “Why?”Rafael stiffened, his hands shook as he took in the pure pain in her eyes. He had done the unthinkable. He had succeeded in doing the one thing he never wanted to do. He hurt her. He’s hurt her so badly and there was no excuse.“Where are the pa

  • The Rejected Ex-wife   You don’t need to do that

    It’s been three days since the incident and June had not left her hotel room. Evelyn was hurt by her daughter's state but felt powerless and clueless about how to handle things. She called Lucy and told her the situation in an attempt to get her daughter back.On the third night, Lucy came and camped outside June’s door, refusing to leave until she opened up. When she found that June was not opening up, she took matters into her own hands and picked the doors open. June lay on her bed, dirty and unkempt when she suddenly heard pricking sounds from the door. Her brows shot up and she jolted from the bed, picking up a pen by the side of the bed, ready to confront whatever danger that came for her. When Lucy stepped in, she felt her body relax and covered herself with the duvet, signalling her desire to be left alone. “Were you going to attack me with a pen?” She asked from the door but got no response from June. “Mother Evelyn called me and she is worried about you,” Lucy said, taki

  • 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 e

    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

    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

    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
