The Rejected Ex-wife のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

The doctor moved first, rushing towards the direction of the scream while Luis and the security detail followed, hot on his trail.“What is going on?” the doctor asked the hospital worker who fell with her supplies just in front of the storage room.“B-blood...” The woman stuttered, shaking fretfully as she pointed at the shut door. “There’s b-blood!”One look towards the door and there it was. A trail of blood leaked from under the door. To make things worse, there was brown hair that also managed to find its way through the little space at the bottom of the shut door.Doctor Carson immediately flung himself at the door, trying to open it to no avail. “Someone! Break this door!” he yelled when the blood kept pouring out. “Get him out of here!”The doctor said to the guard, pointing at Luis, who refused to move. For some insane reason, Luis was stuck to his feet, eyes fixed on the small lock of hair that looked like his auntie’s.Soon enough, some security detail came with a hammer, h

It’s been three weeks since the accident, and June was finally out of the woods. Her situation had been hidden from the general public to protect her while she recuperated in Rafael’s home.Every day, Doctor Carson attended to her, and today was no different. However, the details of her murder attempt were still unclear, with no evidence to prove or ascertain how she got into that situation.The Rivera mother-and-daughter duo had done a clean job, leaving no trace behind. Hence, June was needed to clarify some things.“I was at the hospital when she suddenly dragged me into the closet,” June recounted the details of her murder attempt. “She told me how she made me unable to conceive by putting some potions in my food while we lived together.”“After stabbing me multiple times, she said I would be found by some people who would make it seem like it was suicide.”A dry laugh evaporated from June as she spoke to Rafael and Doctor Carson, who listened with tight faces as she narrated the

June was lying on her bed when she heard little knocks on the door.It didn’t take a second before Luis’s little head squished its way into the room with a blinding smile on his face. As soon as she saw him, her heart felt so full of love and pain at the same time.“Baby!” She tried to put up a cheerful expression, but her words came out flat.Luis pushed open the door, letting himself in with some heavy books in his hands. June looked at the books with confusion. Surely, he didn’t plan on reading her such lengthy, serious-looking books.Getting to the stool beside her bed, Luis placed the books on it and the bed beside her. “Auntie! I brought my baby pictures!” he said with a smile that sucked the frigid look off June’s face.With eyes lit, she gleamed, “Really? I bet you were very handsome as a baby.” She cooed, ruffling his hair.Luis loved the feel of his auntie’s hand on his hair. For others, he would throw a tantrum when they wanted to mess with his hair, but with her, it was so

April and Ethan’s upcoming wedding had become the talk of South City.Mrs. Olivia saw to her word, and every media outlet was singing the praises of her son’s wedding to the outstanding daughter of the Rivera family.As a result of the press surrounding their upcoming wedding, even the Rivera family business was seeing good light. With everyone wanting to partner with the soon-to-be in-laws of the Lontoc Family, their share value increased.April, who lived her life as a director of the Rivera Jewelry stores, was not exempted from the uproar. Everywhere she went, she was treated with respect, and with Ethan accompanying her to places, they soon became a powerful duo other elites wanted to associate with.Today, Ethan was to introduce her to the board members of LT Constructions. They arrived at the powerful establishment on time and with smiles on their faces as they greeted the employees, who were happy to see the next madame and tried their best to curry favor.They went straight to

June sat at a table with a distraught Lucy seated before her.After meeting her former colleague in front of the restaurant, she expertly handled the situation, and they all made their way to another restaurant, where she took a separate table to discuss with her.“What happened?” June asked after they had been served. “How did you end up here?”The woman could barely speak with the amount of tears that dripped from her eyes. “I was fired from the company,” she managed to say between the tears.June’s heart broke at her words. “Why would he fire you? You are the best at what you do,” she spoke, confusion written on her face.The woman seated before her was one of the best closers she had ever encountered. She was the head of project management at her ex-husband’s firm, and for the three years she worked at LT Constructions, Lucy had won over clientele and projects that raked millions and billions into the company.Why the hell would she suddenly get fired?“I don’t know.” Lucy’s voice
