Semua Bab The Rejected Ex-wife: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Lucy returned to the hospital with a nylon bag filled with provisions and a sneer on her face. Her anger increased as she reflected on the little meeting with April. She needed to inform her lady of the recent developments, but first, she had to see her father. When Lucy stepped into the hallway that led to her father’s ward, she noticed a little crowd at his door. Her eyes narrowed as she hastened her steps, wondering about the situation. As she came closer, she noticed the looks on people’s faces when they saw her, some nurses going as far as to give her a hug. “What is going on? Where is my father?” she asked when she found her father’s bed empty. “Miss Garfield,” the attending doctor stated with a somber look on his face. “No! Where is my papa?! Where have you taken him?” “I’m sorry. Your father fell while trying to use the bathroom. We found his dead body,” the doctor informed her. “I am sorry for your loss.” Lucy felt her world end as the bags of provisions fell fro

The house watched in shock as Mrs. Beatrice led June to the couch, excitement written on her face.“Oh, darling, please sit. Tell me, how did it happen? Did he drag you to the altar? How could you even have a secret wedding without me?”June suddenly felt overwhelmed, but her mother-in-law was not stepping on the brakes anytime soon.“Who are your parents? Oh, they must think my son kidnapped their daughter. This won’t do! We have to redo the wedding. This time, we do it the right way!”“Mother...”“You don’t have to worry, I will handle everything, you just need to show up. Everything will be—”Rafael stepped in when he noticed June’s state. “Mother. Enough,” he said in a firm voice. “There will be no wedding.”Mrs. Beatrice turned to her son. “And why is that? You already got married, son. I just need to make it official.”“The papers are sufficient proof of marriage. We don’t need to have another wedding,” he said, forcing his mother to turn to June.“Do not let him bully you into

June didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Of course, she looked like the culprit! Or in this case, the accomplice. At that moment, she regretted listening to his mother and not putting on something decent. Something that would have hidden the painful erection of her nipples and the burning desire that plagued her. Nevertheless, she was determined to pull through this phase. “I need water...” She muttered and stepped away from his infatuating hold. “Hot...so hot.” June was close to removing the flimsy gown that clung to her skin while Rafael watched her like a hawk, jaws flexing and straining in restraint. He was the epitome of self-control! “There is a bottle of water in the fridge.” He said after what felt like hours.June looked around in search of the fridge. She opened it and her shoulders sagged, there was no water in sight. In fact, the only thing was a bottle of red wine. She took out the bottle with a frown on her face, “There is no water.” Rafael walked towards her, t

The day grew and June stepped out of the house with Thomas. She had been briefed on a meeting by Lucy, who was hell-bent on working despite the loss of her father. It was a difficult pill to swallow and June was stuck between ordering her to take some time off or honouring her request to work so she could take her mind off things. Nevertheless, they were meeting an important guest today and Lucy refused to disclose the identity until they got on site. As they breezed through the city, June read the news of the fall of Joel Patel Constructions. ‘One of the trending news in the building sector/industry. Apparently, the young man was a former worker at the LT Constructions group until they fell out and he branched out and launched a business five years ago. The business had been successful, rising to the top and expanding its reach until recently, they were plunged into the fiery pits of debts. Forcing them to retreat from the limelight and tether at the corridors of bankruptcy. Acc

With Joel Patel on the crew, things proceeded with JL Company, which brought a new phase of the business. June is busier as she takes on individual and corporate projects while Lucy is made vice president for the firm. Things are also chaotic at home, following Luis' drastic change of character. Ever since she was revealed as Rafael’s wife, Luis had yet to have a conversation with her. June decided to speak with her little prince in the room, hoping they could find a bridge and settle their differences. Although Luis was glad to see his auntie peek into his room, he remained seated and adamant as he watched some documentary that played on the TV.“Baby..” June entered the room and sat beside him, “I miss you.” Luis huffed, still upset. “I am not your husband.” June hid the smile that threatened to break out her lips. “But you are my baby, my favourite. Auntie’s heart is broken.” Luis spared her a glance but kept his mouth in a pout. “I was supposed to marry you. Not my father! He
