All Chapters of Rejected : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

The following days were a blur. Ruine and I visited the airline hoping they could retrieve the remains of any of the passengers so that we could at least have something for his memorial.But it was all a lost cost since the crash happened in the ocean and nothing survived.That even broke Lilac's heart more than ever. Ivan, her husband, was actually on a trip from Russia, he even purchased alot of baby staff from there.I had to receive the package and hide it from her until she was ready because it was meant to be a surprise.She would wake up crying and go back to sleep crying.Sometimes I would even see Ruine shedding tears but I kept my distance because he wasn't mine to console.Tomorrow is the the memorial service and Lilac wants to stay at their home.I decided to stay with her since she can't be alone.I find myself nestled on the couch with Lilac in her home.The atmosphere is heavy yet comforting, and we are both cuddle up under a soft blanket.Lilac turns her head slightly

Third Person P.O.VLilac, with a playful grin, nudged Ruine and Casma, saying, “You two should really think about trying for a baby! You’re both still young!” The moment hung in the air, and Casma felt a sharp pang in her heart. The lightheartedness of Lilac’s suggestion clashed painfully with her reality. She forced a smile, but inside, a wave of sadness washed over her. The thought of not having children of her own felt like a weight she couldn't shake off.Ruine noticed the shift in her expression, his playful demeanor faltering. “Lilac, maybe not right now…” he began, sensing the tension. Casma took a deep breath, trying to mask her feelings. “Yeah, maybe later,” she replied softly, her voice barely above a whisper. The joy of the moment faded as the reminder of her loss loomed large, leaving her feeling isolated in her sorrow. In that fleeting moment, the contrast between joy and pain felt almost unbearable, a reminder of the dreams she held close yet felt so far from reaching

As I sit quietly in the living room, my heart felt heavy with uncertainty. Every laugh shared between Ruine and Ciara felt like a dagger to my chest, a painful reminder of the bond they once had—a bond I could never truly break. I watch as Ciara effortlessly brings up memories of Cecily every now and then, each story pulling Ruine’s attention further away from me.This has been my life since Ciara came into this house.It is as if I were an intruder in my own home, a guest in a space that had once felt warm and inviting. The laughter that echoes around us feels foreign, like it belongs to a time before I stepped into Ruine's life. I can feel the distance growing between us, a chasm that Ciara's presence only widens.“Ruine,” I whisper, my voice barely audible, “do you think we can talk?”My heart races, hoping to reclaim a moment of intimacy amidst the chaos that Ciara has brought. But as I look into Ruine's eyes, I see a flicker of something—nostalgia, perhaps, or a longing for the

Two weeks have passed, and I still haven’t left my room. The silence wraps around me like a heavy fog, suffocating and relentless. I can hardly believe how quickly my world has turned upside down.I finally made the decision to se ofnd in my resignation letter. The thought of facing Ruine again, of seeing the man who broke my heart, is something I simply cannot bear. Each time I think about it, a wave of pain washes over me, reminding me of the love that once filled my heart and how it has now been replaced with sorrow.To protect my children from the turmoil I’m experiencing,I sent them to my cousin’s place. I didn’t want them to see their mother crying, to witness the cracks forming in my spirit. I know they can sense when something is wrong, and I can’t stand the idea of them worrying about me. The house feels so empty without their laughter echoing through the halls, but I tell myself this is for the best. I need space to process this heartbreak, to find a way to heal witho

The next day, we settled in home and made the necessary changes to the villa.I also did the necessary school requirements for Rhynara since she'll be starting school on Monday, which is tomorrow.Rhys has also been of great help to me.The next morning, Ty and Billy left early for their first day of college and I drop Rhynara at her new school.After that I drive me and Kai to my bridal shop here in Manhattan.My shipments arrived yesterday and I am here to see to it that everything is now in order.As I adjust the last display in my new shop, the scent of fresh paint fills the air, mingling with the excitement of new beginnings. Kai is busy arranging colorful trinkets on the counter, and I couldn’t help but smile down at him.“Looks perfect, doesn’t it?” I say feeling a swell of pride in my chest.Just then, the bell above the door jingles, and I turn, ready to tell the visitor that we aren’t open yet. But my heart drops when I see her—Lilac—standing there with her five-year-old twi
