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. Some of the men spoke mostly of Lena’s beauty and carriage and the way they’d like her to meet their sons on dates.

Lena, on the other hand, politely declined their offer, stating directly that as she was stepping into a role as important as CEO, she did not want any distractions.

  • 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

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   46– About Us (Leo and Antonio)

    The restroom door barely had time to close before Antonio grabbed Leo by the collar and slammed him against the wall. The impact echoed. Hard. Sharp. Leo’s head snapped slightly to the side, but he didn’t fight it immediately. He just looked at Antonio. Calm. Steady. Infuriating. “What the fuck do you want, man?” He asked finally. “You knew,” Antonio breathed, his grip tightening. “You knew about my brother and your sister and you said nothing.” Leo let out a quiet scoff. “We’ve established that.” Antonio’s jaw clenched. “Don’t do that.” “Do what?” “That thing where you act like this is nothing!” Leo’s eyes flickered, but his voice stayed even. “Because to me, it is.” That hit wrong the wrong nerve and Antonio shoved him harder into the wall. “Our families are about to tear each other apart and you’re standing here acting like it doesn’t concern you?” “It doesn’t concern me,” Leo shot back, sharper this time. “It concerns Julian and Lena.” “They dragged us into it!” “T

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   45– Tension Between Both Families

    Three days later.“Antonio?”“Si, papa?”“You’re very restless today.” A beat. “What’s wrong?”Julian’s brother, Antonio, was standing beside their father in the living room. His hands were crossed at the wrist at the base of his back and he rocked back and forth whilst they waited for Lena’s father to enter.It had been days since Julian told Antonio about his complicated personal life, but Antonio hadn’t yet gathered the courage to tell their father, knowing that the only thing it’d result in is chaos.“I met with Julian,” Antonio said to their father, his voice a whisper.“I already know that.”Antonio swallowed. “You need to know what we discussed.”“Not now.”“Papa—”Before Antonio could even finish speaking, the door opened and Pedro King was led in, followed closely by his son, Leonardo King.Antonio’s heart jumped into his throat and he had to swallow loudly to keep him from sputtering nonsense.“Pedro!” Julian’s father exclaimed as he saw his old friend. “I’m so happy you dec

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   44– You Are A Mistake

    “I told them not to let you in.”Julian didn’t even bother taking off his coat as he walked into his office, tossing his keys onto the table with a sharp clatter.Rose, seated comfortably like she owned the place, crossed her legs and looked at him. “It doesn’t matter what you told them, baby. I came to see you and I won’t let anyone stop me.”Julian let out a short, humorless laugh. “Of course. I wouldn’t expect any less from you.” He walked past her without another glance, shrugging off his jacket and heading straight for his desk. “I’m not in the mood, Rose.”“I don’t care what mood you’re in,” she said lightly. “I just came to ask how it went.”Julian stilled for half a second. Then continued what he was doing. “What do you care?”“I’m curious.”“No,” he said flatly. “You’re not.”That made her smile fade just a little.Julian finally looked up at her. His gaze was cold and disinterested. “Let me save you the effort,” he continued. “It’s handled.”“Handled how?”“That’s not your c

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   43– Private Settlement

    Lena was leaned back in the seat, clocking the pen in her hand.Click.Click.Click.That was all that echoed in the room—at least it was the only thing Julian was hearing.The lawyers were speaking, but neither Julian nor Lena paid attention to whatever they were saying.Julian was flustered.Lena was taking advantage of it.“Everyone out,” Julian suddenly blurted without thinking.The room went silent.It wasn’t as though he shouted, but his tone was edged with seriousness. And it made it clear he wasn’t asking.His lawyers exchanged glances. Lena’s team hesitated for half a second longer.“Now,” he added. “Please. I would like a moment alone with Lena before we continue.”Lena’s team looked at her. She gave a nod.Chairs shifted.Files closed.One by one, they all stood and filed out, the door clicking shut behind them, leaving only the two of them in the conference room.Silence stretched.Thick.Uncomfortable.Julian stood from where he sat at the other head of the table. He stro

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   19– No Peace For Julian

    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   15– Why Am I Feeling This Way?

    The car merged smoothly into traffic, Leo’s grip tight on the steering wheel. The city blurred past them, morning light filtering through the windshield, too bright, too awake for how Lena felt inside.Lena pressed her palm against her cheek, wiping away the last traces of tears before Leo could l

  • 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
