Semua Bab THE REJECTION: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Luca’s POV Spending time with Juliet was fun, at least, it was supposed to be. But at the same time, it was incredibly irritating. She talked too much. Honestly, I was starting to hate it. Her constant chatter buzzed in my ears like an annoying fly I couldn’t swat away. The clock was ticking, and I kept glancing at it with increasing frustration. It was almost time for me to leave for work, and the one thing I feared most was that she’d refuse to go. If that happened, I was already preparing myself mentally to kick her out. I couldn’t stand the thought of her lingering in my space. I was convinced, no, certain, that she was bad company for me. What irritated me even more was how she kept poking into my love life, asking questions I wasn’t ready to answer. Those questions felt like jagged knives digging into old wounds I was trying so hard to forget. Every time she mentioned love or relationships, it dragged me straight back into the dark, painful memories of Ella, and the betrayal I

Luca’s POV I got home feeling completely exhausted, but strangely… happy. Today, I had seen Ella, and more importantly, I had seen Laura, my precious girl. That moment would stay with me forever, carved deep into my memory. Her little arms wrapping around me, the joy in her eyes, it had awakened something inside me that I thought I had lost, peace. Now, more than ever, I felt hopeful. Maybe, just maybe, Ella would finally allow me to spend more time with Laura. I wasn’t asking for much. I had already accepted that Ella and I would never be together again. That heartbreak had taken its toll on me, but slowly, I was learning to live with it. The wound was still there, but it had begun to scar over. The only light in all of this darkness was Laura, and the bond we shared. That was something no one could ever take away from me. Tonight, I was in a good mood. The first in a long while. So, I decided to treat myself. It was still early, and I had the house to myself. I walked into the k

Luca’s POV I’ll admit it, Juliet really knows how to cook. Her food was delicious. I hadn’t enjoyed a home-cooked meal like that in a while. I still remember the moment earlier when we collided at the kitchen door. It was almost cinematic, the way our bodies brushed against each other. Our eyes met, just for a second, and I felt something… but I knew it was only physical. Nothing deeper. Because the only woman who truly held my heart was Ella. I don’t even know if I’ll ever be able to love another woman the way I loved her. But I have to forget. I must move on, even if my heart isn’t ready. “Thank you for the food,” I told Juliet as I walked over and slumped onto the couch. Sundays were always slow and painfully dull for me. I usually just sat around doing absolutely nothing. But today, at least I had company. Juliet’s presence filled the silence in a way I hadn’t expected. She had actually behaved today, no annoying remarks or emotional confrontations. So far, not a single thing sh

Ella’s POV “Mummy, can you please call Uncle Luca? I want to see him.” My daughter’s voice echoed through the hallway for what felt like the tenth time that morning. Laura had always been persistent, but today, her insistence had become unrelenting. She had been nagging me about seeing Luca since the moment she woke up. I sighed and stared at her tiny frame, her hopeful eyes looking up at me like I was the only one who could make her day perfect. I knew if I denied her this request, she’d sneak off the first chance she got. She was stubborn, just like her father. With a tired nod, I picked up my phone and dialed Luca’s number. “She’s waiting for you at the gate,” I told him simply. A part of me felt strangely unsettled, though I didn’t want to admit it to myself. But I pushed the feeling aside. After all, she was safe with him. Luca had always been responsible and gentle with her. There was nothing to worry about, or so I convinced myself. They were gone the whole day. I kept che

Susan Mark’s POV I am happy, truly happy, to see my daughter smile again. To know that she’s opening her heart once more, that she’s allowing herself to feel love after the deep wound Felix left in her life. I had prayed for this moment for so long. And now, watching her heart slowly unfold for Luca, I can only be grateful. He’s a good man. I’ve seen how he treats her, with gentleness, patience, and unwavering respect. Not once has he pressured her, not even when he was clearly hurting, watching her battle the ghosts of her past. That speaks volumes about the kind of man he is. Ella deserves happiness. A fresh start. A life full of laughter and warmth and love. I want that for her with every fiber of my being. And with Luca and Laura by her side, she has the chance to have something truly beautiful, a complete, loving family. Something I once dreamed of having for myself too. And yet, here I am, sitting alone, waiting for my husband to return. The man I gave my entire life to. The f
