From Ex to In-law Chapter 84— When I Thought we had them
Raphael's POV I paced back and forth in the living room, my hands clenched into fists at my sides. The disbelief still hadn’t worn off.My own mother had orchestrated all of this.The breaking news, the strategically leaked evidence that pinned everything on the lawyer—everything was her doing. That poor bastard never stood a chance. He was a fool for letting her know I had already uncovered the truth behind the infringement. And now, she had spun the story perfectly, painting him as the sole villain while she and I were paraded as heroes.The worst part?I couldn’t even counter it.Somehow, she’d manipulated things so precisely that anything I said publicly would look like an attack on her—and by extension, on the Lorenzo family. She’d sealed my mouth shut without even lifting a finger against me.The TV blared in the background, still on the same loop. News anchors repeated the story again and again, milking every angle. Diana and I just sat there, stunned.We’d been outplayed—by m
From Ex to In-law Chapter 83— Checkmate
Diana’s POV"What the heck is this? How's this possible?" The remote fell from my grip, clanging against the coffee table. A chill spread through my body while I gazed at the screen. The voice of the news anchor reverberated through the room, each word hitting me like a heavy stone in my gut. "Breaking news this evening— Disturbing documents have surfaced with several news organizations showcasing what seems to be proof that Attorney James Whitmore, past legal advisor to Lorenzo Industries' founder Lorenzo Senior, masterminded the offshore account plot that has troubled Raphael Lorenzo's business for months." Raphael leaned in, his face changing from surprise to disgust. The anchor went on, "Mrs. Riley Lorenzo, who stepped up as a whistleblower tonight, claims that Whitmore held a grudge for decades against Lorenzo Senior following a contentious dispute in the 1990s." Mrs. Lorenzo junior asserts that Whitmore specifically aimed at Raphael to eñd the legacy of his grandfather's che
From Ex to In-law Chapter 82— The Dinner Before the Storm
Diana's POV "I am sorry, baby, for making you remember things you should have forgotten.""Oh no, it's fine, Raph. The memories are part of me; they are the only good memories I have got, so either way, I have to live with them and cherish them.""Okay, but let's eat. The food is getting cold already."I waited for him to take the first bite, watching him carefully. As he chewed down the first spoon, he took another and then another and then another. He kept on talking until I asked him to slow down."You've got to tell a woman how her food tastes, especially if she's making it for the first time, you know." "I am so sorry, my love. The food is just too delicious for me to pause to say anything else."I smiled triumphantly."Henceforth, this is my best food," he blurted.My jaw dropped in amazement.Come to think of it, I never really asked him what his best food was. We never really talked about things like that, though, so I decided to ask him."Dear, you never told me your best f
From Ex to In-law Chapter 81— The Dance without music
Diana's POV Surprisingly, Raphael remained calm. I knew he was bothered, but I still couldn't believe that he could maintain such composure. How could he be so calm after all I had just explained to him? Serena's mother and his mother would definitely not be calm about the matter. Neither would Marcel and Serena be calm."What are we going to do?" I said, breaking the silence that had enveloped the room."We would do nothing—""Nothing?""For now, yes, we will do nothing. Let's watch how they play their hands, let's watch them make the first move, but we will be ready when they do.""I don't quite follow, Raphael.""Come on, Diana, I don't need you to worry about that now. It's getting late; let's just have dinner and rest for the night. It's been a long, hard day for both of us.""I'm sorry I didn't even ask you about the company. How was it when you got there? Is it in good shape?"He heaved a deep sigh. "Okay, we will talk about the company when we're done with dinner. Let me go
From Ex to In-law Chapter 80— Between Celebration and Fear
Raphael's POV "Mr Raphael, you are such a good and nice man; I wish every man could be just like you." One of my female employees said.I smiled "Thank you very much, Vanessa, but this world was created to have the good and the veil just for balance's sake; if everyone was good, some things to enjoy now, we wouldn't be able to enjoy them, and then vice versa."I honestly didn't think about what I said before saying it, I wasn't sure if it even made sense, but I was sure she got the message I was trying to pass."Yes, before I forget, I promised to multiply your salaries once everything has been over."Every one of them began to jump and dance for joy. And that's when I left back to my office. Maxwell followed behind me.I heaved a deep sigh of relief. "Sir, salary increment? Have you forgotten that we are very low in profit, how are we supposed to generate such income to pay everyone.""Maxwell, you worry too much, what's the problem with you?""Sir, the company does not have such an
From Ex to In-law Chapter 79— Calculated response
Raphael's POV "A lot has really happened, sir; even some of your employees have resigned."My ears stood, my eyes widened in shock, it's no wonder why the company looked empty when I came in, but I just assumed most of them were slacking behind because I wasn't at work."So they actually left?" I asked again, just to be sure."I am sending you their names alongside their resignation letter.""Thanks, Maxwell."As I opened some of the letters, I saw that they dared to request two months' upfront salary. I laughed as I read them."Is there anything funny in the letters sir," Maxwell asked."Yes, a lot of things are funny in the letter, Maxwell", I paused, laughing "They are asking for two months' upfront salary when they haven't even worked.""Really?""Didn't you read the letters, Maxwell?""No, I didn't, sir, I wasn't supposed to; it Was directed to you, not even to the HR, but to you. It's why I left it; I assumed there might be some personal information they probably didn't want an
