COMEBACK OF THE REJECTED WIFE. 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 131 - 챕터 140

~ ANNIKA ~ My eyes widened in horror as I took in the images. "How..." I gulped, staring at the phone in shock. Surely, the person who took this not only knew my relationship with Angelo but knew where I lived. They took the first picture on the night Angelo came over to my house. It was of me leaning close to him before I entered the house. They took the second and third in front of his house. It was him driving me to work. "How did you get this?" I lifted my gaze to her, trying to hide my trembling hands. "Who sent this to you?" I demanded.My throat felt dry. Icy dread took over as I looked at the picture. Whoever did this was monitoring me, following my steps. That explained how they got the pictures. My mind raced, thoughts swirling in panic. Our relationship was supposed to be hidden from prying eyes. The photos seemed to mock me, exposing my carefully guarded secret. I tried to maintain a poker face, but inside, I was reeling.Each image felt like a betrayal, a violation of m

~ ANNIKA ~The stares followed me to my office. Had Grace not been with me, I would have exploded from the stares. But with Grace, who kept on asking me to keep my focus on her. She was the reason I kept my cool while pretending not to notice their stares."Don't mind them. It's not like they can do anything other than stare all they want." Grace pushed into the office, smiling as she plopped down on the couch. "Why don't I camp out here for the rest of the day? Your office is the best in the entire world. Do you mind if I stay?""If you like." I stepped over to my desk. "You can even help me go through those files on my desk. I feel like Angelo and this company are out to take my head."Always one for taking advantage of the situation, I tried to rope her into my work. Chuckling, she got up from the couch and walked over to me, sitting on the chair opposite mine as she reached for the top file. "What are you going to do about this? Will you confront Mr Angelo about it or...."Lifting

~ LISSA ~ I didn't see Angelo after he left that day. I tried calling him, but each time he always had an excuse to give, making me realize Annika had something to do with it. She was the only one who could control him that much. Zoey asked me to exercise patience and that everything would be sorted out soon, but I couldn't help my fears. What if Angelo doesn't return after this? How do I get him back? It seemed the more I tried to get him to return to my side, the more distance he put between us, like a wedge keeping me on my side.Zoey, seeing just how much I was hurting from Angelo's silence, brought a plan, one we had executed. It took hiring a secret detective for us to get these pictures of them. Posting it wasn't a problem. Zoey was good at that. As a computer science student and an acclaimed hacker - her words, not mine - she knew her way with the computer system. She promised no one could trace the IP address back to us and so far; we have had no issues.

~ ANNIKA ~I lifted my eyebrows at that. I thought hewould get straight to the point instead oftrying to act like he was doing."Of course not.""Remember that day you went to hospital?The day I was supposed to take Annika to Pa James's place five years ago?" Angelo asked,his eyes locked on mine."Ye... Yes," Lissa replied, her tone cautious. "Is there anything wrong? Why are yousuddenly asking about this?""Did you take Annika to the hospital?"Angelo's voice was firm. He didn't beataround the bush like I assumed he would,seeing how much he was threading aroundher silence."Lissa?" Angelo pressed. "Didn't you hearwhat I asked?""I'm sorry. The network coverage here isn't that good. What did you just ask?”"Did you take Annika to the hospital on thatday?""Why should I?" She expertly lied. "I didn'tget to see her until I saw her leave with thatman. I sent pictures, didn't I?""I wasn't asking about this. I want to knowwhat took place on that day. Did you go to myhouse t

~ANNIKA ~Angelo's office was in a buzz today, and Igot to understand why when Grace came tocheck on me. Obviously, Angelo had beenhappy since he left my office, allowing theworkers to use his kindness for the day.By the end of the workday, almost everyonein the office had taken a leave, each for anoutrageous reason. I heard one took a breakbecause the dog wanted to go on a date. Adate??? And you had to ask for a week to dothat?It was amusing hearing all those excuses, butmore so to know Angelo fell for them."Are you going anywhere today?" Gracefrowned when I got up after checking thetime."Why?""Didn't you say we will work until 7? Why areyou getting ready to leave? Do you havesomething you need to do at home?" Thoughthose words sounded innocent, the way shebatted her eyelashes was anything but that."Yeah, there's something I need to take careof at home.""What?" She leaned closer. "Is it related towhy Pa James was so happy today he almostsigned his c
