All Chapters of From Ex to In-law: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Mrs Riley's POVAs I sipped my second glass of wine, a colder thought slipped into my mind. Buying board votes was good, and working on Gramps through Marcel was smart. But what if Raphael simplywasn't an option anymore?Not physically, of course. I wasn't that far gone. But what if his reputation was so damaged that even Gramps couldn't justify making him CEO?I set my glass down and walked to the window, staring out at the night. The darkest ideas always came after sunset, it seemed.Raphael had been gone for years. Most people at Lorenzo Industries barely knew him. His image was still a blank slate to them – one I could easily write on.What if a woman came forward claiming Raphael had promised her a job for... certain favors? Or what if some concerning financial irregularities from his time in Europe suddenly came to light?I pulled out my phone, scrolling to David's number but not pressing call yet. He had connections with several reporters who owed him favors. A few well-pla

Raphael's POVI stood in the shadows of the hallway, watching Mrs. Riley, my mother, I had opened the door. She hadn't noticed me yet. She sat there, sipping her wine, probably thinking she was so clever. The woman who had made my life hell for years, plotting against me once again.My heart pounded in my chest. I had practised this moment many times in my head, but nowthat I was here, anger bubbled up inside me. I took a deep breath to calm myself. I needed to be smart about this. Smarter than her.The security guard at the main entrance had been easy to get past. Everyone knew me as "Mr. Lorenzo's grandson," after all. No one questioned why I was in the building so late. Getting into the house had been just as simple – I still had the spare key card from years ago. They never thought to change it.I pushed the door open and stepped inside. Mrs. Riley looked up, shock flashing across her face before she quickly hid it. Always in control, that was her way."Hello, Riley," I sai

Raphael's POVSuddenly I began to feel dizzy."Oh, I am sorry, Delia, I can't keep you company anymore; my eyes are heavy. I need to go to sleep.""Oh, no worries, it's fine. I will just stay here and wait till the loud music is over.""I am so sorry, Delia", I said, standing up to leave, and just like t,hat, I couldn't feel my legsanymore, and that was the last thing I remembered until I opened my eyes to see myself on my bed. I turned to look at the wall clock on the left side of my bed.I looked at the time; it wasn't too far from when I was outside, just about two hours; as I turned to look at the other side of my room, I got the greatest shock of my life.There she was, Delia, lying on my bed, under my duvet.What just happened, the last thing I remembered was me standing up to come to my room.I raised my duvet only to find out that I was wearing only my boxers. I never do that; I always slept in my pyjamas. Everything felt so weird, and scary at the same time.As I moved my ha

Diana's POVI waited for a while before I called the number again; it went straight to voicemail again. "Fuck!" I blurted out.I began to go through the details of everything that Sebastian had sent to me concerning her— the school she went to, what she studied at the university, relationship status, work status,financial status, and every single thing about her was in it.As I glanced through, my eyes spotted an address. I took a good look at it. "It's New York City," I muttered under my breath.Without thinking twice about it, I picked up my phone and my car keys and headed for the location of the address.It was about a fifty-minute drive from where we stayed. It made me wonder why she would stay around this family; if she was truly raped by Raphael, as they claimed, then she shouldn't behere at all; she should be somewhere far away.Though while going through her background, as the year the rape happened, she relocated to somewhere far away with her parents and had just come bac

Delia's POV"When I eventually woke up, I saw Raphael half naked by my side, he was awake too, my head was heavy I couldn't think straight at that moment, just then I remembered the last words Mrs Riley whispered into my ears before I finally went to sleep""So just that was how it all happened," Diana asked."Yes, I honestly didn't know from the beginning that that was what they intended to do; I didn't even know there were drugs in the juice." I lamented."You were a victim too." She said, leaning close and holding my hands."I never wanted this to happen to him, Raphael was a very nice and calm soul." "Yes, I know the man I got married to," she said proudly."Delia" Diana called out to me.I raised my head, our gaze resting on each other."Do you think you can testify about this in a court of law?"Immediately, I freed my hands from hers and leaned backwards; I honestly wasn't expecting her to ask me about that, though I sensed she might end up asking me."I know, you think it's
