Lahat ng Kabanata ng REBIRTH: MY EX HUSBAND WANTS A SECOND CHANCE : Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

A chilling feeling ran down Autumn's spine. Iris eyes was heavily similar to one that was manic. Her smile having a eerie feeling, not masking the burning hatred she must have for Autumn.A thought then came to Autumn, was Iris aware of who the father was?Was it Dexter?Autumn felt her heart drop to her stomach, her hand slowly reach to her chest as it paced in fear. Orbs of tears form against the socket of her eyes. Iris noticed this and smirked, feeling her lengthy speech finally made an impact on Autumn. As always Autumn would never change and that would be her downfall. She scoffed, sliding a strand of her behind her ear.She approached Autumn, opening her arms wide and encircling her whole in a forceful hug. In shock and confusion, Autumn could not even push her away as much as she hated it there was some sickening warmth in Iris's hug. To the point she wanted to throw up but she felt a bit comforted.Autumn hated that feeling, she was in the arms of the person that hated her th

The Uber's mirror reflected Iris frown, her face coiled in distaste at the news on her phone. Headline upon headline came up and the Ashton heir, and now by miracle Autumn had regained her voice. Iris puts her phone off sliding it face down as she turns her head at the window pane glass. That was supposed to be her, all the congratulations, all the praise and all the jab at Autumn being infertile and unable to give Ivan a child. Now things were different as a lip greeted her lips, she still had power over the narrative, Autumn wasn't carrying Ivan's child and whenever the truth comes out the Media will turn their backs against her, ripping her to shreds. The thought of that soothed her as she rode peacefully at the back of the Uber. Soon enough she arrived at her destination, holding her purse in her hand she shuts the door of the Uber behind her as she stood before the golden gates of Maverick's Ashton mansion. She's been here a couple of times and she was back once again after ge

The ride home was quiet. Ivan's hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, while Autumn sat with her head down, her hands hovering over her thighs. Unconsciously, her fingers dug into the hem of her beaded dress, pressing harder until her palm slowly turned red."Autumn."Autumn turned her head in Ivan's direction. "Are you okay?" he asked. She merely nodded and forced a smile. If anything, this was all Ivan's fault, but what could she do? Blame him? Tell him the child she carried wasn’t his, and that in a few weeks, she would be aborting it?"I'm just under a lot of pressure. Your father can be a lot sometimes," Autumn muttered in a low tone, feeling drained at the mere thought of Maverick's offer.Could she do it? Get rid of her child? She had always wanted to be a mother—something her own mother could never live up to. In her past life, when she found out she was pregnant, she was convinced Ivan would love her, and they would be different from her parents. But, just like her father,

Autumn dreaded it, her palms sweaty from how tight she had gripped her black handbag with both her palms. She quickly cleaned her sweaty palm on her grey colored dress and then the fatigue suddenly hit her. It was 6am and she stood before the very door of Derek Ashton's mansion.It wasn't as if she was a stranger to the place, she's been here a number of times. She found it hard to figure out if it was the fatigue of waking up too early, even Ivan wouldn't be awake till 8, or it was the point she was nervous of seeing him again.After all he had done, she should be hating his guts. But she could barely feel it or get the energy to do so.It must have definitely been the fatigue, she concluded internally. Because if it wasn't why the hell would she not hate him.Autumn sucks in a deep breath and finally rings the bell, waiting for a maid to probably answer. At least that would be easier than Derek answering the door instead.After what felt like dreadful hours, the door opened wide rev

Autumn grabbed the book, flipping it upside down and shaking it, hoping another paper might fall out. When nothing did, she opened it and realized it was a chequebook—the original one. Her suspicion was confirmed when she saw the most recent transaction: the one addressed to Leads Orphanage.Her heart pounded. They’d hosted countless charity events this year, but there had never been a mention of Leads Orphanage. This had to be the proof of Ivan’s embezzlement. No wonder Derek had asked for her help. If the orphanage didn’t exist, where had the $25 million gone?Autumn felt torn. She now had evidence of the embezzlement, but what next? Did this reignite her deal with Derek? Was she really willing to risk everything by working with him, a man she knew was dangerous?No. She’d keep the chequebook for now. It would prove useful when the time came.Satisfied with her findings, Autumn turned off the lights and quietly slipped out of the room, locking the door with the same caution."What w
