All Chapters of Rebirth Of The Scorned Wife: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Chapter 21Rosebud Martinez ‘I'm so sorry, Ms. Martinez. Let's reschedule our meeting, please. Something urgent came up’.Just as I was thinking of how to cancel on Mr. James earlier, his text came in. As if he read my mind.My lips curled in a satisfactory smile, seeing how gorgeous I looked in the outfit. A red fitted gown. One of the dresses Bruce bought me a few days ago.“He has good taste.” I whispered, admiring my reflection.My phone screen lit up with a text from Bruce just as I was about to leave the room, and I paused. ‘Hey! I'm waiting outside’.My eyes widened in disbelief. Didn't I tell him not to bother to come pick me up?My heart missed a beat, and my breath stuttered the moment I stepped out of the house and saw Bruce standing by his car. He was graced in a black suit. One of the clothes I helped him pick at the boutique.“Hey! I told you not to come pick me up.”I stood in front of him, rolling my eyes.He shrugged, lips curled in a smirk. “I didn't have a choice.

Chapter 23 Rosebud Martinez I stepped out of the car the moment it pulled over at Mathew’s parking lot, heading inside. I stepped into the quiet apartment, its air heavy with unspoken tension. I walked ahead, past the dimly lit hallway, straight into the living room. “Rose… honey… Hear me out, please.” Mathew ran after me, but I didn't spare a glance, nor falter my steps. “I can explain, honey.” I was forced to halt abruptly when he held my hand. My skin recoiled with disgust, so I yanked his hand off, turning to face him. “What is it, Mathew?” “Let me explain what happened, honey. You misunderstood everything that happened.” I scoffed. “You already explained, Mathew. You stood in for Megan's boyfriend. What's there to explain to me again?” “But you are still mad at me.” I closed the distance between us. “Or were those lies? Is there something else you want to tell me? He batted his eyelashes, swallowing whatever it was in his throat as he took a step back.

Chapter 25Rosebud Martinez ‘Appointment with CEO of Kent’s corp’The reminder popped up in my phone as I got ready for the office. I stood in front of the mirror to admire myself briefly. White suit always hits differently. Its elegance is always unexplainable.My phone rang as I reached for my handbag. It was Clara. I picked on the first ring.“Clara…” I exited the room, walking along the hallway.“Good morning, Ms. Martinez. I called to remind you about your appointment with Ms. Kendal. It's in two hours.”“Yes, I know. I'll be in the office soon.”The call ended as I walked inside the living room.Mathew wasn't anywhere around. I guess he didn't come home last night, or even this morning.That's his business anyway. He was the least of my worries.I drove to the company, and headed to my office. Clara wasn't on seat, so I called her as I walked inside my office.“Where are you?” I asked.“I'm sorry, ma. I went to the canteen to grab breakfast.”“Alright… Get me coffee on your wa

Chapter 27 Megan Martinez A few days later The loud screeching of the car thrust me back to reality… My driver had already parked in the parking unit of my company. “We are here, Miss Martinez.” Louis, my driver spoke as he came to open the door for me. The familiar fresh air of the company welcomed me as I stepped out of the car. The environment still looked the same, even though it had been weeks since I was last here. “Feels good to be back here.” I smiled. As I approached the entrance door of the tall building, Alicia, my secretary, stepped outside. Her face went pale the moment she saw me. Like she wasn't happy to see me. She hurried up to me, with a smile on her face. A smile that didn't reach her eyes. “Good morning, Ms. Martinez. It's so good to have you back here.” Her pretence disgustingly smelt so badly and loudly. She took my bag, walking beside me. “Ms. Martinez is here…” “The CEO is here…” Silent whispers brushed through my ears as I walked elegantly toward

Chapter 29Rosebud Martinez “Shame. She didn't stay for dessert.” He chuckled softly.“Why'd you do that? Megan probably had something to discuss with you.” I glared at him, and he scoffed.“Nothing. I thought we could all hang out together.”His eyes said otherwise. He did that deliberately, but I didn't press on.“Enough of Megan. Why don't we talk about you, hmm? You don't look fine. Is everything alright?” It amazes me how Bruce could always read through me like I was a book. Even when I try to hide my emotions, he could always tell.“I'm fine.”“No, you're not… Come on, talk to me.” He propped his chin with his elbows on the table, eyes on me.I bit my lip hard. “Don't worry about it. It's nothing serious. I can handle it.” Not that he could do anything about it if I told him anyway, so what was the point? And I didn't want to look pathetic. I mean, this is about my work, so I should be able to handle it without his help.He smirked. “You know I'm not giving up just because yo
