Lahat ng Kabanata ng REBIRTH: MY EX HUSBAND WANTS A SECOND CHANCE : Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Derek Ashton didn't want anything to do with Autumn, he just said that he did because he wanted to piss off his nephew. For a long time He saw her as nothing but his nephew's puppet. She did what was told and never went against her husband disrespect. Everyone dragged her name to the mud any chance they got. Although he despises his nephew and the rest of his family, he could not help but feel bad for her. She was a mirror of his own past, no matter how much he tried to rid of such thoughts he could not extend the hate he had for his family to her.A smile spread on his lips as he watched Ivan hold on to Autumn tightly, Autumn looked visibly confused as Derek chuckles lightly."My apologies Ivan, I'm not trying to take your wife away from you." Derek paused glancing quickly at Autumn who's lips were a bit parted. He immediately averts his gaze back to his nephew. "But if you're this scared to lose your wife, maybe you should start focusing on her, she might just catch someone else's

Autumn smeared her red lipstick to even on her lips. She made a bit of a touch up and dropped the lipstick on the wooden frame of the cabinet.Memories of how Ivan had slapped her a few days ago crossed her mind.She finally phoned Derek who was all well too excited to answer her calls like he'd been waiting for her. He didn't even give her time to say hello, he just called her name and all she could do was stutter a yes.He didn't want to talk to her on the phone and promised they would eventually meet in person and talk.Autumn hoped she won't be seeing him tonight. D.O.N corps was hosting a party for the employees and her husband had informed her to look pretty tonight. In his words he didn't want her to look as if he doesn't take care of her.He had already prepared her dress and jewelry beforehand and had it delivered to her at home since he was being held at work.Autumn took her time getting ready with the help of the maids in the house hold. Ever since Autumn was reborn she's

Autumn turned to face him, her eyes narrowing as she finally asked the question that had been lingering in her mind. "Why exactly are you doing this, Derek? What do you want in return for your help?" Her voice was laced with a hint of skepticism, as if she already knew the answer.Derek's expression turned calculating, his eyes glinting with a hint of ruthlessness. "When my ex-wife divorced me, she took 35% of my company away from me," he said, his voice dripping with resentment. "Ivan never signed a prenup, so if you're smart about it, you can take everything." The implication hung in the air like a challenge, and Autumn's eyes widened as she finally understood Derek's true motives.Of course, an Ashton wouldn't help her out of the goodness of their heart. They were notorious for their cunning and ruthlessness in business. "And I give you everything after," Autumn stated, her voice flat, as if she was merely acknowledging a fact.Derek nodded, his smile a thin, calculating line. "We

Iris's face turned ashen as Derek Ashton emerged from the crowd, his towering figure commanding attention. Murmurs bounced back and forth like a tennis ball, growing louder and more urgent as Derek's purposeful strides devoured the distance between him and Autumn. Every eye in the room, including Iris's, was fixed on the unfolding scene. Derek's approach was met with a mixture of surprise and curiosity, but he seemed oblivious to the commotion he was causing. His gaze was fixed on Autumn, his eyes burning with an intensity that made her blush. He extends his hand to Autumn. With a shy smile, she offered him the back of her palm, and he took it with a gentle reverence, his lips brushing against her skin in a soft, tender kiss. Iris's attention snapped to Ivan, who was seething with anger. His hands were balled into fists, his eyes blazing with a fierce red glow. She instinctively reached out to comfort him, her hand closing around his in a soothing grasp. But Ivan was having none of

Maverick's voice was laced with condescension as he began, "You know, Autumn, out of everyone in this household, you used to strike me as someone intelligent." He paused, his eyes narrowing as he scrutinized her, his gaze lingering on her like a challenge. "But it seems you're starting to share the same brain cell as your husband," he said, his tone dripping with disappointment.Autumn felt a shiver run down her spine as Maverick's words hung in the air, his cigarette smoke curling around her like a noose. She tried to speak, but her voice caught in her throat."I gave you a chance, Autumn," Maverick continued, his voice rising in anger. "I took you under my wing, and this is how you repay me? By discarding everything I've done for you... for my brother?" His eyes blazed with indignation, his face reddening with rage.Autumn's heart raced as Maverick's anger intensified, his words pouring out like venom. "I throw a party for you, and all those people from D.O.N Corps leave with rumors
