LOVING THE REJECTED BILLIONAIRE

“I did not take anything from you, Maria, so stop accusing me. I am not like you, you know? Or should I remind you what you and Damian did to me?” I chip in.

“Wow! You are still not over that? And here I thought you love this man you so much want to marry?””I didn’t get over it, because there was nothing to get over, to begin with. Damian never had my heart from the word go. Did you see me cry that day? Did I ever ask you why you did it? Did I ask you both for an explanation? Did he tell you something like I looking for him afterwards? No, right? You did me a huge favour because I was finding it hard to push him away. There was nothing between us, and so, if you thought that by sleeping with him you would hurt me, I’m sorry, your atrocious shameless acts were worth nothing.””Don’t expect me to apologize for that. Besides, that is a thing from a long time ago. The topic is you being here.””Exactly. Don’t turn the tables on me, because I took nothing from you. When I came here, there wasn’t even a slight smell of a woman. I never would have imagined that Andy’s ex-wife would be my cousin of all the people. Anyways, it is what it is now, they are my family, and I don’t regret anything. If Andy doesn’t want you, and if Angel ends up rejecting you, don’t blame me for any of that. I didn’t wreck your home. You left them. You abandoned them, Maria, and there are consequences for every single action.””Well then, Madam perfection! Assuming you didn’t know that Andy was married to your cousin, which I am finding very difficult to believe, what are you going to do now? I mean, I am here now, right? How does it feel to know that you have been sleeping with your cousin’s husband, huh? You have been screwing my man!”Shit! She knows the route to my soft spot perfectly. The thought of me sleeping with someone who used to sleep with my cousin makes me feel dirty. The thought that I will be married to someone who used to be Maria’s husband doesn’t sit well with me. What will even my parents say?C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

It was difficult enough to convince them to approve of this relationship because Andy was a divorcee. But telling them that Maria is his ex-wife and the mother to his kid will make them disapprove of this without a second thought. I can’t blame them though, because I also think this relationship is wrong. I love Andy and Angel with all of my heart. I don’t want to lose them for anything, but this? What I am so furious about is why fate has it that I will always lose to Maria. Why?

“Well, what does your conscious say, my dear cousin? Are you proud of yourself? You can still save yourself the little pride left in you and walk away while you can.”Walking away? Is it an option? Do I have another choice? But the wedding is in a few hours from now. What will happen?

Andy pulls me to him, sheathing his hand around my shoulders in a more possessive and protective way. He might have noticed that Maria is getting into my mind, which she definitely is. Will I ever win against this bitch? No, wait, rephrase that. Will I ever have the courage to fight this bitch?

“She is going nowhere because she is not guilty of anything. I love her, and Angel adores her.” Angel, my little princess. My chubby bubbly doll. My cute angel. Who does she need the most? Who would she even choose if given a chance? Is it me, who feels like an imposter now in her life right now, or her real mother? Would she be okay if I leave? “It’s you who need to leave now, Maria. You have managed to convince me that Angel is not your concern here. Get out!” Andy says.

“Be careful, Andy. Think carefully and don’t dare me.””To hell with your threats. Just leave! Get out!””Alright. Then we will have to do this the hard way. I will file a case for full custody of Angel. I have a very high chance of winning, because I am stable financially, and Angel is a minor, not to add that you are remarrying. When I get custody, you will never see Angel ever again. That I promise.”I think my blood has turned ice because all I can feel are nothing but cold shivers all over my body. It hasn’t gotten this serious, right? I know she has other agendas here, but can I let her ruin Andy like this? I know she is a rotten bitch who doesn’t think twice about her decisions. And Andy, I look at him beside me. He is frozen, his icy brown eyes with a sad look that I have never seen in them. I don’t even know when his hand dropped from my shoulders. If he had long nails, his palms would be bleeding due to his hands tightly clenching into fists.

Angel is practically his world and this bitch knows that very well. What a cunning manipulative bitch!

She intentionally drops the empty glass of juice, and the broken pieces scatters on the floor, the noise snapping me from whatever I was engrossed at. Andy doesn’t react though, it’s like he turned into a statue.

“Oops.” She says with a devilish smirk, and she bends to grab her huge satchel from the floor. “My lawyer will get in touch with you as soon as this minute.” She says and swings her hips cat walking to the door.

I try to shake Andy out of his statute state. He needs to do something. Before he could react, Maria opens the door starting her way out.

“WAIT, STOP!”

She turns around, and both their eyes snap at me.
