Lena returned home hours ago, but as the sun began to set and night fell, she began feeling guilty about how she had left her lunch with Jack.

Which led to picking up her phone and dialing his number.

Jack answered on the first ring. Though the act made it seem as though he was eager, he did not say a word.

Lena waited for Jack to say something for a few seconds, but when nothing was said, she decided to break the silence which now grew awkward.

“It’s me, Jack. Lena,” she said, his voice softe

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   126– He Needs You…

    Julian paced the length of the hallway outside the emergency room, his boots squeaking softly against the floor. Every few steps, he clawed his bloodied fingers across his face and through his tangled hair, staining his skin with drying rust. He forced sharp, ragged breaths into his lungs and huffed them out, his chest heaving as though the l weight of the fear hanging over him might cause him to pass out right there on the floor.How long had it been since his older brother had been rushed through those double doors? Antonio had arrived drenched in his own blood, with wounds punched into the most delicate, fatal areas of his body.An hour?Two hours?Julian had completely lost count. Time had lost all meaning the second the first gunshot echoed in the cathedral.Their father had already come and gone, his face cold and unreadable stone before he left to manage the immediate retaliation. His sisters hadn't even been allowed to leave the estate; the family was too terrified that th

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   125– The Wedding, Pt 2

    The swell of the music rose, bouncing off the walls of the cathedral as the doors swung open. Miranda stepped into view, beginning her walk down the aisle.Antonio stood at the edge of the altar, his posture straight, though his nerves were firing in a dozen different directions at once.His palms were damp against his sides. But as he forced himself to stare at the approaching bride in her white gown, his mind fractured, replacing her image.He imagined it was Leo walking up those steps toward him instead.How would that look? he wondered, desperation gripping his chest.Would we ever actually get married?Would we need to keep what we have a secret for the rest of our lives?Antonio gave a shake of his head, forcing the daydream away. He needed to focus on surviving the next ten minutes before he could even dare to think about a future with Leo. But for a fleeting moment, the thought had been beautiful, and it left a faint, ghost of a smile lingering on his lips.The oblivious gue

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   124– The wedding, Pt 1

    “You’re late.”That was the first thing Antonio said to Julian the moment Julian walked into his groom suite. Anyone with an eye could see the nervous energy rolling off Antonio in waves. He was pacing the room like a trapped animal as he fiddled with the buttons of his shirt, his fingers shaking so much that he couldn’t even properly fix his shirt.There was no need to be prim and proper, he thought to himself. Not when the wedding would begin and end with a roar of chaos.“You should be happy I even came to this shit show.” Julian stepped in front of his brother, causing Antonio to halt his pacing.Then he began buttoning his shirt for him. “Are you that nervous?” Julian asked.Antonio nodded; there was no need to pretend otherwise. “I just don’t want anyone to be caught up in this mess. Especially our sisters.”“Which is why I’ve made sure they don’t make it to the church in time,” Julian assured his brother as he finished the last button and stepped back.Julian went to stand b

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   123– Before I leave

    Julian groaned as he woke to heat and a tow curling sensation.His mind was still a haze, his eyes still heavy from sleep and exhaustion. The room was now soaked in darkness, only illuminated softly by the estate’s security lights. Julian tried to move but he felt a weight pin him down, as though his shoulders were trapped between something.Something…He moved his hands blindly.There were limbs—soft, smooth limbs.Julian inhaled a long breath and a familiar scent hit his nostrils. This was a scent he had grown accustomed to.And at that moment, sleep vanished from his eyes.Lena was on him. Her face was turned towards his toes and her ass to his face. Her tongue trailed the crown of his cock in slow, circular motion.Her movement was clumsy at first, but when she realized that he had woken up, she became more steady, taking him down to the back of her throat.“Fuck…” Julian groaned again, his toes curling in ecstasy as his hands fell to her waist, gripping tightly.What was going o

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   122– About The Wedding

    “What. The. Hell. Are. You. Guilty. Of?”Julian’s chest rose on a deep, shaky breath, but he didn’t utter a word. He just kept his eyes locked onto Leo’s, his body rigid against the marble edge of the kitchen counter. The silence between them stretched, suffocating and carrying the weight of the dread.“Is this about the wedding?” Leo muttered, his voice dropping an octave as he stepped even closer, his shadow falling over Julian.Julian didn't blink, forcing his facial features to smooth out into a mask of pure indifference. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”“It’s about the wedding, isn’t it?” Leo pushed, his eyes narrowing as he scanned Julian’s guarded expression. “What are you people planning to do?”“Leo—”“What the fuck is your brother planning to do?!” Leo demanded, his composure starting to crack. He grabbed the edge of the counter on either side of Julian, trapping him. “Is this why he explicitly told me I couldn’t attend? Because he’s planning to do something danger

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   121– What Are You Guilty Of?

    Julian was proving to be true house-husband material.By the time Lena woke up the next morning, he had already fed and cleaned Junior, then immediately shifted to making breakfast for her so she wouldn’t be late for her morning meetings. He was still wearing a checkered apron, his dark hair disheveled from cooking, when Lena walked down the staircase into the dining area.Lena’s mouth fell open the second she saw him standing over the plates. “What on earth are you wearing?” She laughed, the sound breaking the morning quiet.“An apron,” Julian pouted playfully, smoothing down the front of the fabric. “I just wanted to make a proper breakfast for my very hardworking wife.”“Not your wife yet,” Lena reminded him, stepping into the room.“You will be. Soon,” Julian retorted smoothly.“Says who?”Julian ignored the question, stepping behind her chair and pulling it out with a flourish. “You look absolutely beautiful this morning,” he murmured, planting a soft kiss onto the crown of her

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO    5– Decisions

    Lena woke up with tears and a splitting headache.For hours, she’d cried and cried and cried until she decided that crying would not save her marriage. So she decided that perhaps having a conversation with Julian would change his mind. Perhaps if she begged enough, perhaps if she offered him more

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   4– Not Worth Keeping

    Years ago, before the marriage, before the arrangement, before she tucked herself into Julian’s quiet house and learned to want less, Lena used to party.It was how she processed things: a loud room, a dark dance floor, a glass in her hand. It wasn’t elegant and she knew it. But it worked. Tonight

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   3– I Want A Divorce

    “Hello, this is the assistant of Pedro King. I saw that you had put up an article stating that Mr. Julian Black was out with his wife. As his associates, we are unaware of any such information. Might I know if you have any other details about the woman in question?”“Pedro King?” The reporter asked

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   2– Who Is She?

    Lena heard the front door open just as she was setting her phone down.She didn’t move from where she sat curled in the corner of the living room sofa, her legs tucked beneath her, the glow of the television casting pale light across the room. She had been waiting for two hours, maybe even longer.
