Two years later.

It had been two years since Lena signed those papers. Two years since she walked out of Julian’s house, out of his life, and out of everything they built; or more accurately, everything she thought they built.

In that time, she had changed. Not on the surface. Anyone looking at her perfectly tailored gown and meticulously done hair might think otherwise, but the real work had happened on the inside. That was where every illusion Lena had carried about love, about worth, about

Ah. So this is just like every other story. A pathetic woman desperate for a cheater goes back to her rich family, gets the "I'm valuable" label, then spends the rest of the story playing at CEO until she caves and takes back the cheater who now feels remorse because she's valuable -_-

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   52– The Other Side of The Family

    The moment Lena walked into her father’s house, the atmosphere was enough to make her have a heart attack.The tension could be cut through.Pedro King was pacing the living room, a half-drunk glass of wine tucked between his thumb and index finger.He stopped when his son and daughter walked in. His chest rose on a deep inhale and he thinned his lips into a forced smile.“Very nice of you to join me,” he said mostly to Lena.Lena shrugged and she plopped down on a chair. “It’s not like I had too much of a choice. Not when Leo wouldn’t leave without me.”She wanted to ask what was going on.In fact, her mind was running in circles, trying to conjure every possible scenario that’d have her father and brother this tense. But nothing came to mind.The only thing she knew she’d done wrong was the Julian controversy, but she believed they were past that.Pedro let out a slow breath, like he had been holding it in since the moment she stepped in. “Sit properly, Lena,” he said.“I am sitting

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   51– Brace Yourself

    “You’ve been too quiet for days now, Leo. Did something happen on your trip?” That was Lena’s voice, laced with worry.It had been three days since Leo and his father returned from their trip to Julian’s family home, and since, Leo had been fighting demons.He had been a shadow of himself, always lost in thoughts, always sobbing, zoning out, never truly understanding what was happening around him.His head was filled with all things Antonio.Which was why he had been delaying talking to Lena about the whole situation—with their family being involved with the underworld. Until today, when he couldn’t delay it any longer, because their father literally dragged him out of the house and forced him to go bring Lena home for the big talk.“I’m just… tired,” he muttered.“Really?” Lena raised a brow. “Just tired?”“Yep,” Leo said, popping the p.“Great.”Leo drummed his index finger on the steering wheel, stealing glances at Lena. “So… what did you do while we were away?”“Nothing much.” L

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   50– Last Straw (Antonio and Leo)

    Leo was lying in bed, staring at the ceiling in the dark.Not like he was seeing anything per se, he was just comfortable… and also conflicted.For one, he was conjuring and dreading the look of betrayal that would be on his sister’s face once she learned of their family history, their background in the underworld.Yes, after much deliberation, both his father and Julian’s father decided that the best place to start was to tell the truth.Do you know what else was decided? That they’d find a way to get Lena and Julian back together.Leo laughed at that.How could those two possibly get back together? Hadn’t they drifted too farther apart?If anything would ever bring them together, it was Junior, and he was certain Lena was not at that place where she’d willingly open up to Julian about his son.The other thing that pained Leo the most was him—his love for Antonio.He just wanted to be loved in the light.Even though he understood the traditions, he still wanted to be able to hold Ant

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   49– More deliberations

    By the time Leo and Antonio returned to the library, the air had changed.Not calmer.Just… heavier.Antonio walked in first, his expression set, his face freshly washed but still marked by the faint redness along his jaw. Leo followed behind him, quieter, composed in that way that only made it obvious something had happened.Their fathers noticed. Of course they did. Because they noticed everything. Though they weren’t sure if it was another fight.Luoni set his glass down slowly, his gaze dragging over Antonio before shifting to Leo.At the moment, Pedro didn’t speak, but the look he gave his son was enough to say everything.Disapproval.Disappointment.Suspicion.“Sit,” Luoni said, his voice carrying a firmness that brokered no argument.Antonio obeyed without a word, dropping into his seat. Leo took his place beside his father, back straight, face unreadable.For a moment, no one spoke.And the silence was tense. But the tension was coming more from Leo than from anyone else in t

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   48– Show Me How Much (Leo and Antonio)

    Their footsteps echoed roughly against the tiled floor.Leo wiped again and again at his bleeding lip, his mouth curled into a snarl. He wanted to be angry about this—he couldn’t. He was angry quite alright but that anger was more for his failed relationship than for the fight that had just ended between him and Antonio.He wondered if this was the end, if the fact that they both brawled like animals meant that whatever was left of them was over.Leo took the left corridor.Antonio took the right.They needed something…Distance.Space.Air.Anything to breathe.But that too didn’t last. As long as their were under the same roof, Leo and Antonio could not bear to keep their distance from one another.“Leo.” Antonio’s voice cut through the hallway.Sharp.Rough.Leo didn’t stop even though every nerve screamed for him to.“Leo.” Antonio’s voice came again.Nothing.Antonio’s steps echoed faster as he made a turn and chased after Leo. He reached him in no more than five steps and grabb

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   47– Brawling Like Animals (Leo and Antonio)

    Leo’s fist landed clean against Antonio’s face. The crack against his bone echoed louder than earlier when they stumbled into the kitchen.Antonio barely had time to register it before he swung back, hard, fast, his fist connecting with Leo’s jaw and snapping his head to the side.“Fuck!” Leo staggered, but didn’t fall. He lunged forward with a growl, his eyes darkened more by hurt than by rage.They crashed into the sink, glass rattling, metal groaning under the force of their weight.“Are you out of your mind?!” Leo shouted, grabbing Antonio by the collar again and slamming him back this time.“You started it!” Antonio barked, driving his shoulder forward and forcing Leo back.“That was a warning!” Leo yelled.“Well this is me not listening!” Antonio yelled back.Leo threw another punch. Antonio shoved him again and they stumbled, knocking into one of the doors. The door swung open violently and Leo grabbed it, slamming it shut so that they could continue fighting.Their fists flew

    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 sa

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   14– Exes In Lobbies

    The night was truly worth every bit of Lena’s time. Physically, at least. Emotionally, however, she felt hollow. Empty. So empty that she in fact began to wonder why she had easily succumbed to sexual temptation.Was it because she was jealous of the chemistry between Rose and Julian? Lena asked he

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   13– Don’t talk about Lena

    The door shut behind Rose and Julian with a muted thud.The room was quiet in a way that felt deliberate, insulated from the pulse of the club below. Thick curtains blocked out the city lights. The faint hum of the building’s systems was the only reminder that the night outside was still alive.Jul

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   9– Confrontation

    The roar of congratulations had settled slightly, and now Lena was with her father, speaking to a few of his friends who attended his birthday party.They spoke of everything and nothing at the same time.
