All Chapters of THE REJECTION: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Luca’s POV Spending time with Juliet was fun, but at the same time, incredibly irritating. She talked too much, and honestly, I was starting to hate it. The clock was ticking, and it was almost time to leave for work. What I feared most was that she would refuse to leave my house. If that happened, I was already planning to chase her out. I didn’t want her lingering around, I was convinced she was bad company for me. What annoyed me the most was when she started asking about my love life. Those questions dragged me back into painful memories of Ella and the betrayal I had suffered. The hurt still gnawed at me, raw and unforgiving. I wanted to run away from myself, to escape these emotions that threatened to overwhelm me. “Are you done already? I’m going to close the house now,” I said, stepping out of my bedroom. She stood there, staring at me like she had seen a ghost. She was so pretty, but her silence was unusual. Usually, she was so talkative that I barely got a moment’s peace.

Luca's POVI get home feeling exhausted but happy. Today I saw Ella and my precious Laura. I will never forget this moment. I know now Ella will give me permission to spend time with Laura. I hope it happens that way. I was in a good mood today. So, I decided to treat myself by cooking a good meal since it was still early. After I am done, I sit at my dining table and I start enjoying my meal. The heartbreak I was feeling has subsided a bit. I had accepted my fate that Ella and I will never be together, but the good part is that my bond with Laura will never break.I am about to take a bite of my food when my phone starts ringing. My heart hoped that it was Ella that was calling but when I checked my phone it wasn't her but Juliet. I wonder why she was calling at this hour. It was so late already for her to be calling me.Me – Juliet. Why are you calling me at this hour?Juliet – just relax, handsome. There is no need to get angry over a silly matter. Anyway, how are you?Me – I am o

Luca's POV.I admit that Juliet cooks really well. I had enjoyed her food so much. I remember we nearly kissed after we collided in the kitchen door. When our eyes met, I felt something, but it was only physical. As the only woman I was in love with was Ella. I don't know if I will ever love another woman the way I love her. But I will forget. I have to move on.“Thank you for the food.” I say to her as I retire to my couch. Sundays were always so boring for me because I had nothing to do. Just staying at home doing nothing. I was somehow glad that Juliet was here, at least I had someone to talk to. Today she had really behaved. So far, she has not told me anything that upset me.“You are welcomed.” She said, smiling broadly. I could see the sparkle in her eyes. The thing I had started suspecting was that she had feelings for me. I really didn't mean to hurt her feelings because I felt the complete opposite. “So what now. Are you going to tell me what brought you to my house?" I aske

Ella's POV.“Mummy. Can you please call uncle Luca? I want to see him.” My daughter was so stubborn. She has said this to me for over ten times now. I did not have a choice but to call him and let him pick her up at the gate. I knew if I refused her request, she would run away. I knew she was safe with him, so there was nothing to worry about.They took the whole day and when it was getting dark, he called me to pick her up at the gate. From the way Laura was smiling, I could say she had a really great day.* * * * * * * * * * * * * “So how was your day, baby. What have you carried for me” I asked Laura. “My day was so beautiful mummy? I wanted you to be there. But Aunt Juliet was there too. She was so good to me.” Laura says to me.“Aunt Juliet? Who is that?" I asked in shock. I have never heard of anyone named Juliet before. This name was new to me. “Mummy, Uncle Luca came with Aunt Juliet. And we went together.," she says.I could not believe it. Luca only loved me, and there is

Susan Mark's POVI am happy to give my daughter some advice about Luca. I am glad to know that she has feelings for him. I am happy that she had moved on from the heartbreak that Felix had given her. Finally, she was ready to love again. This time she fell in love with a good man, and I was sure of that. Luca has always been there for her and not once had he forced her into loving him even when he was terribly hurt by all these.I want Ella's life to be full of happiness. I know she will get that happiness from Luca. Him, together with Ella and Laura, makes a wonderful family. All I want is the life of my daughter to be better and not like mine.Here I was seated as I waited for my husband to arrive. I don't know when last I had s.x with my husband, yet we were married. This is not the life I had dreamt for myself. I hated all this, but still, I loved my husband so much. We had come a really long way. He had promised to answer me about what I had suggested to him, and that was to spen
