Rise Of Rejected Husband Chapter 24
Richard was in the lobby of a luxury hotel. He sat there dressed quite neatly despite his modest appearance, with a tab in his hand, Richard handled his work quietly, without anyone disturbing him.The surroundings looked calm, everything looked peaceful with each other's activities not disturbing each other. In the middle of his time monitoring his work indirectly, Richard took a slow sip of the coffee on his desk. Even so, his gaze did not move at all from the tab screen in his hand."You remember our appointment today, don't you?" a woman's voice was loud enough to make him briefly move his gaze due to distraction.Richard saw a woman in a fairly revealing ball gown walking by, as the woman got closer, a strong scent of perfume wafted from her and pierced Richard's sense of smell which was disturbed by the dizzying smell. Richard then closed his eyes as he noticed the woman sitting on another chair right beside him, out of the corner of his eye.The odor of the woman's pungent perf

Richard looked at the woman reluctantly. "What did I steal it for?" he responded casually, dismissing the woman as a freak. Richard returned his gaze to the tab screen, ignoring the woman because the work he was currently doing was more important than her business. But the woman was reluctant to leave him and was now coming closer and disturbing him even more with the strong smell of her perfume piercing Richard's sense of smell."You've been here all along, so it must have been you who took it secretly. "There is no one else but you who is near me." She insisted on accusing Richard of stealing her necklace.Richard took his eyes off the tab screen. He then looked at the woman coldly. Richard did not expect that he, who had been busy there with his work, would end up getting baseless accusations just because he was around the woman. "As you can see, I've been busy with my work, miss. So, can you stop saying nonsense?"To him, it was the most absurd nonsense to say to her because he c

"Do you have proof that I stole it?" Richard looked at Nadine coldly.There was no reason for him to be poorly treated in that place when she had done absolutely nothing to harm anyone."If you can't prove that I stole it, then you'd better stop with your current attitude," Richard warned her. He did not intend to let her go any further.Nadine moved closer, hearing Richard's words irritated her. "Well, I'll prove that you took it." She started to move her hands to touch him, but he stopped her by brushing her off.Richard gave the woman a sharp look. "Don't try to touch me." Richard clearly showed his dislike when his body was about to be touched by him as proof.That made Andine feel even more ignited and upset. "Why?" He barked fiercely. "If you didn't take it, why don't you want to be touched?"Nadine's reply to him was rather absurd. Richard had many reasons why he did not like having his body touched by others, especially when it came to his comfort."Sir, you'd better be coope
Rise Of Rejected Husband Chapter 27
The men then looked at Richard with a jolt. The threat Richard made to them made them feel like he wasn't messing around and was serious about making them regret it.Richard looked at them seriously. "I will not remain silent if you continue to disturb my comfort. I will make serious demands on this place as well as on you." Richard turned to look at Nadine, who was undaunted.For a moment, Nadine stared at him. She was speechless as Richard's serious-sounding threat jolted her. But then he noticed Richard again, who, unlike the others with their luxurious-looking appearance, Richard only looked like an ordinary man with a simple appearance with the shirt he was wearing.She then smiled. For someone who looked not even better than the servants there, Richard's attitude was too arrogant. She came to believe that Richard's threat was just nonsense. Not a thing that was really going to happen. "Don't talk so much. Do you think someone like you can afford to make demands? I'm not even sur

"What is it?" the voices of the people behind them could be heard loudly talking to each other. "So the necklace wasn't stolen by that man?" they didn't expect the uproar to end up being such a surprise.After the furor that ensued because of the accusations he made against Richard, it turned out that the necklace was not on Richard. Even after Richard repeatedly emphasized that he had not taken anything from Nadine, she did not believe him and would not listen to him in the slightest. She still insisted that Richard was the thief.Nadine was surprised when her eyes fell on a necklace with a red pendant handed to her by the woman, and she picked it up. "How can this necklace be on you?!" She exclaimed and looked at the woman in annoyance. "Did you steal it?"Richard stared at the woman dumbfounded after accusing her of quickly stealing his possessions, and now he switched to blaming someone else for doing it just because it was in that person's hands."Have you gone completely mad?"

"Once again, I apologize for my tardiness, sir." Milo bowed once again in front of Richard.Richard looked at him casually. After Milo took him to the private room rented by the hotel, Richard first sat on the single sofa with his legs crossed and glimpsed at the place. "Sit down," Richard said, pointing to the chair before him. He then pushed his shoulders back and leaned more on the sofa.Milo bowed his head softly. He briefly smiled at Richard, then sat there afterward. "I want to discuss what you asked me to do, sir."Richard picked up the bottle of wine on the table. He lowered his booted feet, now firmly planted on the floor. He poured the wine into his glass, shaking it gently before smelling the aroma and taking a gentle sip. "So, how did it go?" Richard turned his head slowly and casually, strangely making Milo nervous.Milo adjusted his sitting position to be a little more on the edge since he seemed to have taken out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his temples, even t

"Please wait a moment. I have something I want to talk to you about," she said to Richard, who was looking at her strangely.Everything about her had changed except her appearance, which was still wearing the same dress. But the look on her face and her careful demeanor when talking to Richard had changed greatly. She was no longer as arrogant and haughty as before, but to Richard, she was still as annoying as ever.Even dismissing her abruptly like this proves that she is still the same woman who only cares about her own interests without considering the interests of others.Richard looked at her reluctantly. "I don't have anything I want to talk to you about." His tone of voice, which seemed cold and deep, made the woman look nervous while twisting her hands.Richard was about to walk again, but Nadine stepped back and blocked his way again. She seemed a little timid as she kept trying to block Richard, but also brave. "Mr. Richard, I apologize for my attitude towards you earlier."
Rise Of Rejected Husband Chapter 31
Richard was still staring at the local place with an observing gaze. Unlike the person who came to pick him up by helicopter, the people in that place did not respond to Richard so enthusiastically because Richard, who came to that place, did not claim to be the owner of the company but only came as a messenger.The people from the construction site only knew Richard as a company messenger sent to monitor the progress at the site. They considered Richard to be just another worker like him.A man in a yellow work hat came up to Richard with a blueprint he was carrying in his hand. "This is the blueprint you asked for." He handed the blueprint to him.Richard then picked it up and spread it out on a table. He read the blueprints carefully and began to gaze on the entire land. After looking at it, Richard realized that what was printed there and the part in progress was considerably different.He then tried to calculate, using his estimates, the extent to which the building should have s

One evening, after a few hours, more than one helicopter landed in the village area, and the whole village became crowded because of this.They did not expect that the missing person who had been searched for by the strangers who came to the village was still alive. To them, it was quite impossible; considering what the storm was like that day and the ocean was a fierce place, they did not think that the missing person was still safe and intact."Mr. Richard." Smith got off first and came to him hurriedly.The 45-year-old man hugged Richard so tightly and emotionally that he had almost given up hope in his quest to find Richard. He himself had even stopped hoping that the possibility of Richard being alive and somewhere was such a great miracle. He was alive and found somewhere.Smith released his embrace and looked at Richard with happiness mixed with emotion. "I'm glad you're okay, sir."After Smith let go, James, who was led by Rachel, hugged him tightly. "I trust you are doing wel

"Alright, then. Tomorrow, we will go to look for your family's whereabouts." Alexa made the choice; Richard looked at her, who seemed confused.Richard didn't understand why Alexa seemed so serious when they had never discussed it with obvious effort before. "Why all of a sudden?" he wondered if perhaps they no longer wanted him there. Is it possible that my presence is becoming inconvenient?"Alexa smiled with a shaded face, her head shook, and her hand rubbed lightly over the back of Richard's hand, trying to get his attention. "No, it's not. Your existence is not inconvenient at all; quite the opposite. I'm honestly grateful to have you here." Alexa pursed her lips tightly and turned her attention to stare straight back ahead.She stared at the vast and calm expanse of the sea. Her feelings about letting go of Richard were still quite reluctant. She had a great desire to keep Richard there, but she also didn't want to be selfish."Today my friend came to tell me that in the village

After finishing cleaning up, Richard went to Alexa, who also seemed to be cleaning up the glasses in their house's living room.Richard's eyes scanned the place, looking for the whereabouts of the guest whose voice had been heard earlier when he entered through the back door. "Has the guest gone home?" he glanced over and helped Alexa.Without hesitation, Richard's hand took over the tray Alexa was carrying and placed it in the kitchen. At the same time, Alexa followed suit, carrying the snack container. "Yes, they're home." She replied flatly, without any expression that sounded cheerful from her answer.Richard watched her, noticing something a little different about Alexa's demeanour compared to usual. He thought maybe the guests had affected her mood, or maybe something else was to blame. He wasn't sure exactly, but even he didn't want to ask if Alexa didn't seem to want to explain. "Who are the guests who came?" She made small talk while walking towards the dining table.Approach

"Jacob, where are you going?" one of the villagers greeted Richard, who seemed to be walking with an axe in his hand. "Are you heading to the forest?" he asked enthusiastically because he was happy to see Richard, one of the new residents there.Richard, who had just managed to turn around and look for who was talking to him, smiled and nodded. "Morning, Mr. Jack." He politely greeted the old man whom he recognized as Sam's friend."Yes, morning, young man." He smiled kindly in response to Richard's greeting. "If you have time, come to the house. You promised to help me yesterday when you were free."Richard nodded. "Later, when I am free, I will try to drop by, sir. " He selflessly helped some nearby neighbours who needed his help.It had been a month since he had been in that place, and now he was living a very normal life there. Just like everyone else, Richard also had his own activities. Sometimes, he joined some men to go fishing at sea, without him knowing that he used to be a

Sitting in his private room, James looked anxiously at the picture frame containing Richard's picture. For days, he had been waiting for news of Richard and conducted a massive search. But the search was ultimately fruitless. There were still no reports of Richard's whereabouts or any signs of him being stranded somewhere.Her worries grew as time passed. The first 24 hours after Richard disappeared were the golden hour to find his whereabouts and determine whether he was in good or bad condition.But a week had passed since then, and there was still no further news of his whereabouts."Is there still no sign of Richard's whereabouts?" James asked Smith in the room.His anxiety was rife with other things, his heart was in turmoil, and his feelings had become chaotic since Richard's whereabouts were declared missing.The news of Richard's disappearance made him not stop thinking about where Richard was and what the situation was like. His condition, which he continues to worry about, c

"What took you so long to come back?" Alexa, who was waiting there, turned her head and noticed Richard, who had just returned, walking over to her.Richard nodded his head. "In line." he took over the groceries held by Alexa.Telling her about what he experienced while inside earlier, for him, Alexa didn't need to know that the Baron was still bothering him. Apart from not wanting to make the woman anxious, he also didn't want Alexa to have a particular view of his attitude that could be considered rude by her.He smiled at the woman. "Do we have anything else to do? Or do you want us to go home?"Alexa helped Richard carry a few easy things to take to not burden Richard too much. "Let's just go home; it's too late. Tomorrow, I have to get up early to store breakfast because Dad will be leaving early in the morning." She started to leave the place, followed by Richard, who walked beside her."Tomorrow morning? Where is Sam going?""Dad said there is someone he needs to help. One of t

Alexa glanced at Richard with a gaze that stared strangely at him."Why are you looking at me like that?" Richard, who realized her gaze, then asked.Alexa headed back to stare straight ahead. "I was just wondering. How could you do that? When you did it earlier, I looked so expert. Unlike someone who just tried, your posture and then the techniques you used seemed to clearly show that you were an expert." She looked back at Richard in confusion. "Tell me, how did you do it?"Richard looked at her in silence for a while. Like Alexa, he was confused by what had been done. He did not expect that his ability was that great.The more he thought about it, the more astonished he became. He obviously didn't remember anything at all., but strangely, he could do it all so well. "I don't know., Richard shook his head as he replied. "I'm not sure myself what I'm doing and how I'm doing it so well. All I feel is that my body knows how to do it." He explained the confusion to Alexa.After hearing

"No, it can't be like that. I disagree that I should stay away from her." Baron rejected their agreement, which he agreed to without thinking.Obviously, Baron rejected Richard's request to limit his interaction with Alexa. He dared challenge Richard and felt hateful and annoyed at him because Alex was the reason. He didn't want any other man or Richard to get close to him.Baron has liked Alexa for a long time, and Jack, from their teenage stuff, has always followed and been attracted to her. But his feelings were unrequited because Alexa didn't show any interest in him at all.The Baron knew that. He knew that Alexa didn't like him, but he still tried to get close to her, hoping that someday Alexa would change her mind. He kept trying and never gave up because he thought that maybe his efforts would be rewarded with what he hoped for someday.But if he couldn't get close to her in the end just because he lost the bet, then his efforts all this time were futile and ridiculous.He sho

The two of them were now in their respective positions, wearing a set of arrows and getting ready in place. He arrows where they were. They were surrounded by people who wanted to witness the showdown between the two.On one side, Richard only came along with Alexa, who was currently so nervous and anxious about the possibility of Richard's condition getting a bad name with this challenge.On the other hand, Baron was surrounded by friends who were eager to see Richard defeated. The young men of the village clearly disliked Richard's existence and the way Richard behaved towards them.Specifically, they didn't need a reason to dislike Richard because even just looking at him could immediately make them dislike him and want to look down on him."Shouldn't you undo your intentions, Jacob?" Alexa approached him again and spoke in a worried tone.She was distraught, having promised her father that she would look after Richard. She would take Richard there with the insight that maybe from
