All Chapters of Rejected On All Sides : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Mr James was taken aback. He managed to compose himself as though that didn’t come as a surprise.“How did you get to find out?”“Your little missy posts everything online.”“Okay so – she is Ludwig’s daughter. And so?”“Don’t act like you aren’t already scared. Lugwig is Rowan’s partner in crime, don’t you know? Who are you besides Lugwig?”“I see the little game you playing here. So what are you going to do? Walk over to Ludgwig and tell him I’m fucking his daughter?”“Why not? Oh, you just gave me a brilliant idea. This is why I like you – you talk too much for your age.”“Oh no, you wouldn't dare tell on me to Ludwig. I know you hate me but not to the extent of causing my murder.”“He may not kill you. You just may lose everything you threaten me with.”“And all those things I may lose belong to you. So we both lose!”“Not so, bad boy. I’ve got nothing to lose since the day I married you. Haven’t I told you I just want to see you miserable? I don’t have the mind to collect all I g

“Are you moving into my place, baby? You know my father comes here often. And what’s your wife doing here by the way?” Gabriella asked a lot of questions at the same time.“Gabriella, I’m a finished man. My wife has taken everything away from me.”“Don’t worry baby. You can start all over with me. She is not worth a penny or a tear. You made a mistake marrying her. You can’t continue to regret it on her behalf.“Hello Gabriella – Ludwig’s daughter,” Mrs James waved like a Disney princess.“That’s right. Lugwig’s daughter. You know who I am now. Back off or I tell my father how you have been molesting me.”“Since when did I molest you, honey? You must be as dumb as your mother who gave birth to you. I know you are an illegitimate child of Ludwig. And anytime he sees you, he is reminded of his mistake – sleeping with a whore that made him start his life all over again. Little wonder he is wary of women. And no wonder I’m wary of men too. Our situations are so much alike. See me building

Mrs James got what she wanted. A position at the firm. Nightfall Gems was just within reach.She was sure to gang up against Rowan. And take over his position from him.She smiled her usual.Yet she still couldn’t shake off the empty feeling at the pit of her stomach.What man will love her and fulfil her the way Didi did?She had been a shadow of herself since the day he died.But tried to hide it by getting back what she gave up.She felt that would console her wounded heart.How wrong she was.Now she was just waiting for her son to get back home.She rested her back comfortably against the executive chair in her office – flipping through some files and jotting things down.Then she saw a figurehead walk into her office.The audacity of that bitch.“You just got my secretary fired. How could she have allowed you in here?”“Good luck to her. She’d get to not work for an evil mastermind like you.” Gabriella stood astride her, hands akimbo.“Thank goodness you acknowledge that I’m a m

Rowan let his guard down during the date – telling Gabriella of his fears and vulnerabilities about work and home. “Sasha is that escape for me. You know everyone has got an outlet. Your is to cause trouble.” Rowan snickered. “Trouble. Really. My escape is to go on dates with men who can have deep conversations like you do. Though I know you only trying to get me to open up by opening up to me about some emotional rollercoaster you are putting yourself through.” “So now you trying to complement me in style. I think I prefer the saucy Gabriella.” “Still saucy. I only show that side when appropriate. The situation doesn’t call for it.” “And no, this is not any game than it is for you. It takes everything for a man to open up to a man. It’s a lot.” “And you open up so easily. It’s either two things - you are trying to get at me. And the second thing is, it’s not working.” Rowan continued on the conversation he was having about Quinn. “Quinn is never in agreement with anything I do

“Fine, you have my support. Though I’m sad this is how it has got to be. So how long would you like to keep my office?” “I thought you’d never ask. Once the smoke has died down.” “I think we are done here. I got to leave this moment.” “C’mon now, are you leaving out of anger? Don’t start to see me as your enemy.” “You have always been. Maybe a frenemy is better.” “Look. I mean no harm. I just want to know what it’s like to be in power. And that’s gonna be for a while. In the process, I’d be helping you conquer Mrs. James.” “I don’t need your help. I’m not a weakling.” “Of course, you are not a weakling. But she is no match for me either. I just want to fight her woman-to-woman. I never liked her with Didi.” “So this is about Didi.” “It has always been about Didi.” “Is that why you are going after everything she is going after?””Now you get the bigger picture. I really want half of Didi’s wealth because he willed that to me. But the rest of the things I seem to want is just t
