The Rejected Ex-wife のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

“Cara...Cara...” Rafael mumbled in his sleep, thrashing around the bed. June woke up to see him struggling and tried for some time to wake him up. “Rafael!” She shook him when he didn’t wake up, almost getting scared by his display. Rafael jolted from the bed, sweat dripping down his back and torso. The bed was soaked with the heat that emanated from him. His jaws flexed as he looked over at the time. It was just two am. “Are you okay? What is going on?” A worried look etched on June’s face. “Did you have a nightmare?” “Go to sleep.” Rafael stood up from the bed, put on his robe and made to leave. “Wait... where are you going?” The sound of the door closing was all she needed to know that he was gone. Rafael looked like he’d seen a ghost as he walked past his office and stopped in front of his room door. He couldn’t believe he’d forgotten. Without a word, Rafael opened the door to the place he only visited once a year. His room. The only day he allowed himself to feel and fal

The video cut off before they could find out what happened and June’s face appeared again. This time, it was a live feed. “Hello, Sister.” She said with a smile, “I hope you enjoyed my little gift.” “What is this? Are you trying to get back at me for having brother Ethan?” April spoke in hysterics. “I already apologized! He chose me! Why are you trying to ruin me?” “I am not trying to ruin you, my dear. I think you manage that properly on your own.” A small smirk. “I just need to know that nurse’s identity. I am sorry I had to take drastic measures, but I figured with such an important event being televised to all South City, you could help my vice president a bit in finding out who killed her father.” “Didn’t you say you would assist your former employee in any way you could at the burial? I think this the best way to frighten the culprit out of hiding, as this nurse is still unable to be found.” “And you use her wedding?!” Evelyn stepped into the conversation. “How wicked can y

“Quick! Call nine one one! He needs to be rushed to the hospital!” Ethan cried, holding his father in place. April couldn’t pretend to care. Ethan’s father had shown how little he cared for her when she was declared Ethan’s prospective wife after June. Left to her, she hoped he died so she could finally be rid of him. “What are you waiting for, take the elder to the hospital!” April ordered when no one moved. They were all waiting for her orders. Soon enough, the ambulance came and Gary Lontoc was rushed to the hospital with a crying Olivia with him. The mood was sour and Ethan looked like his life had been snatched from him. “Put yourself together.” April snapped when they arrived at the company. “I don’t want my first meeting as CEO to be marred by your gloominess!” Ethan swallowed, trying to put up a smile that looked like a cringe. “And make sure that this news is contained. The only thing that needs to be on the news is my inauguration as the CEO and the merger. Do you unde

April was not granted bail. A fact that drove her nuts when the news was broken to her by her mother. “That husband of yours is on a warpath. He sent evidence of his father’s death and made it all seem like it was your work and the family was only a casualty.” April held her head in anger, her thoughts spiralling out of control. She needed to get out or everything she had worked for would come crashing down. She couldn’t lose. Not now, not ever. She had hoped things wouldn’t get to this point but there was nothing else she could do. She had to make a call and fast. April turned to her mother with desperation written on her face. “I need you to do something.”...On the other side of things, June got a front-row seat as the deaths of Lucy and Ethan’s father were roped on April’s neck. Making things even more complicated. Today was the first hearing of the case and if things went well, she hoped it would be the last. With double murder charges hanging in the balance and nothing t

Rafael woke with a light stomach ache. He turned his head and came face to face with a mop of black hair. His instinct moved him to touch it and June jolted awake. Hitting his nose in the process. “Ow!” He couldn’t help the sound that escaped his throat when her head crunched his nose. June was suddenly widely awake and remorseful when she saw blood dripping from his nose. “I am so sorry!” She stood up, looking around the room for some tissues. “Darn it!” She cussed when she couldn’t find anything in the drawers, “Give me a minute.”Rafael watched her with curiosity as she entered the bathroom and came out a minute later holding a box of tissues. She sat beside him, wiping his nose and burying the blood with tissues. Rafael watched her with fond looks, letting her do her thing. Soon enough, June disposed of the tissues and returned to the room. With one look around the place, June decided the room needed some deep cleaning. June began her job, picking up some discarded clothes f
