All Chapters of THE REJECTION: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Luca’s POV “Ella, can we please talk? I know this isn’t the right time, but please, I really need to talk to you,” I said after she was done taking care of Laura. Ever since Felix saved Laura’s life, a strange feeling had settled deep in my chest. I felt threatened by him. I couldn’t explain it fully, but every time I saw him around Ella, I noticed the jealousy in his eyes. It made me uneasy. It made me feel like I was standing on fragile ground. “Let’s go into the garden. We can talk calmly there,” she said softly. I nodded and followed her. “Babe, tell me. I am listening,” she said once we reached the garden. It was my first time stepping into their garden. The place was beautiful, wide, peaceful and filled with blooming flowers of different colors. The air was fresh and calming, yet my heart was racing. I wished my mind could be as peaceful as the place around us. “Darling,” I began carefully, “you know how I feel about you. But I can’t help feeling insecure whenever Felix is

Stephen’s POV For over two weeks now, I have not laid my eyes on Sarah, my loveand the absence has been eating me alive. Each day felt longer than the last, and every quiet moment reminded me of her smile, her laughter, the warmth she brought into my life. I tried to convince myself that I was doing the right thing, that this distance was necessary, but my heart refused to listen to reason. I had no choice but to temporarily block her number. It was one of the hardest decisions I had ever made. I also instructed my office staff not to provide her with any information concerning me, knowing fully well that Sarah would come looking for me. She was persistent like that, loving, devoted, and unwilling to give up easily. I needed to be there for my family. I had neglected them for far too long, and guilt weighed heavily on my conscience. After Laura’s discharge from the hospital, that was when I finally allowed myself to breathe again, and that was when I decided to look for Sarah. All

Ella's POV.“Madam, where is my daughter. I came to pick her up, but I could not find her. I hope she has not left all by herself like the last time.” I ask Laura's teacher. My mind was on a panic node right now. My daughter was nowhere to be found just like the last time and if something bad happens to her this time, I am sure I won't take it. “I am sorry ma'am, but her dad picked her up. How come you don't know about this.” She says.“Her dad?” I ask her, “Yes, Mr. Felix. The man you were with in the morning.” She says.How can Felix do this without informing me first? This was getting out of hand and I needed to do something about it straight away. I just hate this behavior of his.“So sorry madam, I must have forgotten that he was the one supposed to pick up Laura. Sorry for the disturbance.” I apologize to her and I leave the school premise. When I get into my car, the first thing to do is calling Felix. He was crossing his limits with me.Felix – Hello Ella, I was expecting y

Ella's POV.Thanks to Luca, Laura was calm now. She had also fallen asleep after finishing her homework. I was now left with my darling in the living room. Mom was also in her room. The only one who was missing was my dad. Ever since Laura got better, he resumed his old habit of coming home late. Occasionally, he did not come at all.“I missed you, darling. Nowadays, we don't spend time like before, and I am beginning to hate it.” Luca says while he held me on the couch. It has been a week now since we spent time together. “I missed you too, babe. So much.” I say, and he kisses me on my lips. “I thought that you didn't love me anymore.” He says jokingly. “No, babe. The day that I will stop loving you, I will be dead for sure because you are my life. And I know that my life is incomplete without you.” I say to him.“Is that true, babe?” He asks. I know sometimes he feels insecure about Felix being around me. But my heart only was his, and there is no way for that to ever change. He

Stephen POVWith these few months, our divorce was finalized already, and I was now a free man. I remember Ella being so furious with me for the step I had made against her mother. But I explained to her why I had taken such a step and the reason was I was no longer happy with Susan, and it was better for us to separate. I know she is a smart daughter and with time she will forgive me. Anyway, it was Susan who had decided to sign the divorce papers. I remember her last words to me before signing. "I am giving you the freedom you have always wanted. Just know that I will never forgive you for this, Stephen. Go be with your woman. I will never interfere in your relationship.” I was happy she had accepted that I have moved on from her. There is no way I will go back to her. So I don't care whether she will forgive me for divorcing her or not. It was her problem, and she had to deal with it all by herself. Right now, I am excited to get my freedom again. I will now enjoy my relationshi
