The Rejected Ex-wife のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Ethan and April were seated in his car, parked in front of the Lontoc home, as he tried to pacify her.“My father is throwing a fit. I just need you to stay in the penthouse for a bit while we sort things out.”April wasn’t having it. “You expect me to stay alone in the penthouse?” she fumed. “I think it’s best I get rid of this baby while it’s still at a tender age. If you are already ditching me so early in this pregnancy, then what’s to say that I won’t end up like my stupid sister?!”Ethan’s heart broke at her words. “Baby, please stop saying that. You know I love you. I can never do that to you. I just need you to exercise a bit of patience.”“Till when?! I have had enough of waiting for you, Ethan! Is it a crime for me to love you? Do you know the amount of hate and shame that I have faced because I chose to make you a father? When will you man up and take responsibility for me?”April’s voice broke as she cried, holding her stomach delicately. “I was willing to do anything to h

June was walking along the busy roads of South City, absolutely dejected and tired of life. She stood by the sidewalk, ready to cross, hail a cab, and return to her ex-husband’s home.There was no way she was going to continue living her life in such a manner, not when the cheating bastard owed her a lot of money. She needed to get on her feet, and with her inability to get another job, she could only rely on the money that she had worked for over the years without pay.Lost in thought, June stumbled into the road, forgetting the traffic lights as she walked into the street. The next moment, she heard horn blares and saw a black vehicle screech to a halt in front of her.Taken aback with shock, she felt her heart stop, and a migraine headache flogged her senses. Although she had not been hit, she fell to the ground and lost consciousness.A crowd had gathered at the near-accident, and just then, Rafael stepped out of his car with a swear on his lips. He rushed to the lady who was now

June remained frozen in her seat long after the story was aired and they moved on to other topics.She could feel Rafael’s gaze upon her, but she couldn’t bring herself to face him.“You are divorced,” he stated more than asked.“Thank you for your hospitality. I have to leave,” she said, getting up on her feet.She needed to get to the Lontoc household and find out what bullshit they were spewing, see if they could say it to her face.Rafael shook his head. “You are not to leave this house until you are well-rested.”“Well-rested?” June spoke in disbelief. “That cheating ex-husband of mine just slandered my name on national TV, and you expect me to rest? To act like he didn’t just destroy my image and flaunt his cheating partner to the world like some darned saint? I think not!”By now, she was on her feet, ready to leave when Rafael held her back.“So what if he is lying? What could you possibly do to show that you are innocent? As it is, you will only endanger yourself by going out

If Rafael was shocked, he didn’t show it.“May I ask why?” he said after some moments of silence.June cleared her throat, having expected this question.“I thought of the entire deal and figured if I was going to have a clear shot at clearing my name, I needed to become powerful. I need to become someone important enough that people care to hear my side of the story.”“And?”“I want to start a company of my own.” She bared it all, and that took him by surprise.“A company?” He relaxed on the chair. “What kind?”“That is for me to know.” She adjusted in her seat. “Finally, I want you to stay out of my business.”Rafael couldn’t help but feel attacked by the coldness in her tone.“We are about as close as the contract allows us, which means you are not to interfere in my matters or do anything that crosses the boundaries of our contractual relationship.”“Also, I will not be receiving any salary from you as Luis’s nanny.” An unconscious smile dropped by her lips. “I have no problems ke

June made her way around the doctor’s office with a formidable look on her face. Her mood was ruined by her run-in with her sister in the lobby.Thankfully, the tests didn’t take much time as she only needed to get some blood drawn and a few other things that were easily rectified.Ready to leave, June stepped out of the doctor’s office, a doctor she soon found to be the Ambrose Family 's personal doctor who had been briefed on exactly what he was to run on her.As though once wasn’t enough, April was seated right outside the door, waiting for her to come outside. Unable to stomach another outburst from her, June decided to make her way out of the place, only for her to be followed by April, who dragged her into a dark storage room by the hallway and shut the door.As soon as they were out of prying eyes, April’s countenance changed from the lovely younger sister act she had displayed in the lobby.“What did you come to do? To check if our claims were right? Are you looking for eviden
