COMEBACK OF THE REJECTED WIFE. CHAPTER 57: YOU ARE NO DIFFERENT FROM HER.
~ ANGELO ~ "Hello." I placed the phone to my ear, tapping impatiently on my desk, waiting for her to get to the point so we could get this over with."I saw her today," my mom said, getting straight to it. Not that I was expecting anything else. She only worries about me when I'm sick or when she needs something. Those were the only times she played the mother card."Who?" I stopped tapping and sat up. "Lissa?" I sighed, letting out an exasperated breath as I pinched the bridge of my nose. "Listen, Mom. I won't do whatever you want. I won't take Lissa back. I've already decided, and there's no going back on my words. We're incompatible. I don't love her.""Not her." Her tone was calm. So calm it made me wonder who it was she was talking about."Then who?""Annika."I froze at the name. Gulping, I sat up, my gaze darting to my closed door. "Annika? Where did you meet her?" I tried to keep my tone calm, to avoid lashing out. I needed to know what happened before I said anything.
COMEBACK OF THE REJECTED WIFE. CHAPTER 56: WORRIED.
~ ANGELO ~I checked her office for the tenth time, a knot of worry tightening in my stomach. It had been two hours since Annika left for her lunch break—far more time than the company allocated. Not that I was worried about that. Leaning against the wall, I closed my eyes, clutching the flower vase to my chest. I wondered if she had gone to pick up her kids. If she had, would she bring them back to the office?That would be fantastic! Spending time with that lovely kid, Powell, was the best thing I'd experienced in a long time. I never thought I was a kid person until I met him."What are you doing here?"Startled, I almost dropped the bouquet, but managed to catch myself. I forced a nervous smile as I turned toward her, reaching up to smooth my hair."Hi, didn't see you there." I tried to sound cool and casual, even though I was leaning on the wall next to her door, holding flowers with an awkward smile on my face."Yeah, right." She rolled her eyes, her lips pursed as she stared a

~ ANNIKA ~I was amused. Not only didn't she recognize me, but she seemed to think she could buy me off with money. It was funny, really. Watching the woman who had been a thorn in my side when I was married to Angelo, I felt the urge to disgrace her, to show her that not everyone could be bullied. Just because I looked easy-going didn't mean she could toss me aside like she wanted.I leaned back in my chair, folding my arms with a smile. My silence infuriated her."What do you say?" Her voice was impatient, and she checked her wristwatch as if she were expecting someone."Why should I give up the table? Give me a reason." My voice was as calm as ever. It was a wonder she didn't recognize me. Had I changed that much? I doubted it. Lissa and Angelo had recognized me without a problem. It could only mean she had never truly looked at me. She must have felt I wasn't worth the effort.She stared down at me, her eyes dangerously narrowed, her lips a thin, tight line. The extreme look of

~ ANNIKA ~ I got my babies settled for the night after explaining everything to them. Noteverything, per se. Mainly my reasons forcalling Angelo a dangerous man. I knew it waswrong of me to accuse him of things he didn'tdo, but that was all I could do to get them offmy case. It wasn't as if he was innocent. Though it took more than just weaving tales and looking serious, to convince them, I did a feat not everyone would boast of. So, after I tucked them in for the night and called Jonathan, to check on him, I hastened over to my room to have a considerable-needed rest, something I had been craving since I arrived.I didn't know how much I wanted to relax until my head touched the pillow. It was lunchtime, and I decided to eat out, opting to leave a few minutes before the actual time, to avoid Angelo, who had been sticking around since morning. He was becoming a stubborn leech.I requested the only table overlooking the road, the one with wall-to-ceiling glass, with a gorgeous

~ ANNIKA ~ I stared at my phone for a long time before I placed it on the table, frowning. Puffing out a breath, I relaxed on the sofa and focused on my babies, who were writing their assignments. They refused to complete their homework when I was away, stubbornly telling Julie they would only write it with me. Not that they needed my help, they just claimed my presence would help, but I knew they just wanted me back."Are you certain you can do it alone?" Julie, who was sitting next to them, asked, peering at my babies, with their heads bent, writing. She looked like she wanted to help, but they weren't giving her the chance."Yeah. We got this." Their response was confident, as always. Ever since they started school, I doubted they had ever sought my help. They were always so positive about their assignments."Really?" Julie inquired, peering at them. "I won't mind helping. I just…""You don't have to worry about us." Powell raised his head to look at her, smiling. "If you wi

~ ANGELO ~"What the damned hell are you doing in my office?" I seethed, turning to confront Lissa, who tried to hold my hand. "Why are you here? What did you say to Annika?" I was barely keeping my anger in check."I missed you, Ang!" she cried, clinging to my right arm and placing her head on it. "Don't you feel the same?" She peered up, sniffing."No, I don't." I removed her hand from mine and placed my palms on either side of her face. "I don't want you to stoop so low as to do something like this, Lils. You are more than that. You don't have to let your rage control you.""But I missed you!" She argued. "Please don't push me away, Ang. I missed you." She held onto my hand like it was an anchor on a stormy night, sobs wracking through her body. "We haven't gone this long without seeing each other, and it hurts.""Lils—""I'm sorry. I know you broke up with me because I was disturbing you for marriage. I won't do it again. Furthermore, I promise to be a cute little girlfrien
