All Chapters of Rebirth of the naive maid: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Freya's p.o.vDebby, my office assistant dropped some papers on my table at my cubicle. "This doesn't look good."I put on my reading glasses to see what it was as I scan through the newspaper. It's a popular business newspaper with updates on trending news in the market."What?!" My face pulled into a dissatisfactory grimace wishing I didn't get to read that. The Slades are now higher up in the market with more investors and partnerships still counting. I read through again and discovered they are selling at the same price as us."How the hell did this happen?""You think that's the worst part?" Debby said, flipping over to another page which made me go completely ballistic."What the hell, Debby? This is our design," I said, adjusting my glasses well enough to be sure I wasn't dreaming. "My design. What the hell is going on?""Exactly, what I thought as well," Debby said, folding her arms. "Something's definitely wrong somewhere. How could they have possibly done that? Could it be

Hailey's p.o.v "But you can't just take my son away from me Ethan?" I bellowed at him as he instructed me to gather his belongings to take him to live with him. "You can't just come now and decide you want to take him to live with you after all these years and you think I'd let that happen?" Frustrated, Ethan settled on the couch with one of his legs over the other , his fingers tapping hastily on its rest. "So, what would you have me do instead, Hailey? Come on, tell me." "I want to stay with you, with my son. We need to stay together, as family, Ethan. That will be good for Dylan. Don't you think?" "Dylan is my son and I think I am solely responsible for him and him only. I do not see where you belong in the picture, Hailey," he brushed the smile off my face as he said curtly. "So, don't you get it over your head that I am in anyway interested in you or ever will. I am married to Jane and the least I'd want from all of this is a kind of intrusion into my marriage. You unders

Ethan's p.o.vMy father's mansion transformed into a grand ballroom and aglow with soft golden lights with the moon casting an ethereal glow through the tall windows.The air was alive with sweet scent of flowers and the gentle hum of conversation. Tonight, the esteemed guests have gathered to celebrate a milestone, and the atmosphere seem electric.As the guests mingle, the sound of music drifted and echoe through the walls, the melodic notes of the piano weaving a spell of enchantment.The pianist, a skilled virtuoso, sat poised at his instrument, his fingers dancing across the keys with effortless precision. The music was a perfect blend of classical and contemporary with the notes flowing like a gentle stream.The guests swayed to the rhythm, their faces aglow with joy and appreciation. Some couples took to the dance floor, their movements fluid and graceful as they glided across the polished wood. Others stood at the edges, sipping champagne and watching the scene with wide eyes.

Jane's p.o.v My mind couldn't take it as I halted and parked my car at the Slade's Empire. I hopped down and the seared image of what I had seen, only made me feel more disgusted and angry by the minute. How could he betray me like that? I took a deep breath yet with a seethed mind and pushed open the glass doors of Ethan's office building. I marched towards the reception desk, my heels clicking on the polished floor. "I'm here to see Ethan Slade," I announced, my voice firm and determined. The receptionist looked up, taken aback by my assertive tone. She clearly must have been new to not know who I am. "Uh, let me check if he is available. May I ask who is visiting?" Her question only infuriated me the more. "Are you that blind to see that I am his wife?!" I glared, my eyes flashing with a mix of anger and hurt. She flinched. My action attracted a number of eyes and their attention all diverted to my direction. Agitated, a feminine voice approached me. "Jane?" she said,

Jane's p.o.vAgitated that I couldn't find Hailey, I hop back into my car and drove back home. "Damn it! That bitch is really one lucky whore."I pulled over into the port of my house and I disembarked, stomping into the house with my heels clicking on the tiled floor. My heart skipped a beat at the sight of the figure standing right infront of me, but backing me. He seem to be on call with someone.Ethan?He turned back slowly, disconnecting the call and staring at me. "Jane, are you alright?"I almost stop living the moment his eyes shuffled between the pistol in my hand and face and I knew better than not to comport myself right away. "Ye...Yes. Sure," I rolled my eyes, acting all tired. "Just tired that's all.""Tired?" he repeated. "And is that a real gun in your hand, Jane?""Yeah. Had an impromptu shooting this morning after you left. My agent called and I just knew I had no choice," I said, smiling through the lies. "Was told to keep this since we will be continuing with the s
