Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 13:

“Can you believe it? Even a woman as breathtaking as her is getting divorced. Where’s the fairness in that?”

“I’d love to know which fool is willing to divorce her. He must have been out of his mind.”

“Look at this guy—nothing out of the ordinary. Why do the most radiant women settle for such a man?”

“Such a shame!”

“Miss, thinking about another shot at marriage? I know a few top-tier CEOs. Trust me, they’d treat you way better than this joker!”

Daniela offered a gracious smile, her expression cloaked in politeness as she thanked him.

Turning away, her gaze fell upon Alexander. He was a little distance away, his features twisted into a severe frown.

Daniela dismissed his sullen mood with a mere glance. Just as she was about to step away, her wrist was seized once more.

Annoyance marred Daniela’s features as she wrenched her wrist back. Alexander’s tone was icy, the chill in his words unmistakable.

“Daniela, do you really think that throwing a fit and divorcing me will erase all our problems? Do you have any idea how much Joyce has been suffering? She’s been haunted by nightmares from that fire for days.

You should kneel before her and beg for forgiveness. It’s time to own up to your mistakes!”

Daniela stood frozen, a shiver tracing her spine as his words sank in.

For a heartbeat, the world seemed to pause, her blood running cold. She met his gaze, the man she had known for over a decade, yet in that moment, he felt like a stranger.

A sigh escaped her lips, soft and weary, yet her eyes began to twinkle with a defiant spark.

“Alexander, I couldn’t agree more. People should pay the price for their mistakes.”

A slow, knowing smile curled the corners of her lips. Joyce couldn’t escape the consequences that were coming her way.

Elite Lux’s aircraft soared into the sky an hour later, leaving the familiar landscapes of the country far below.

Daniela remained seated quietly in the opulent cabin, her eyes cast downward in contemplation.

By now, she surmised that the headlines and buzz in Olisvine were likely ablaze with the leaked audio and the footage of the fire. She had delivered the response Alexander had been pressing for. From that point forward, their connection was severed—no obligations, no bonds, absolutely nothing lingered between them.

Meanwhile, back at the headquarters of Phillips Group, the oppressive silence in the boardroom shattered with an unexpected knock. The executives whipped their heads around, eyes wide with disbelief at the boldness of the secretary daring to disturb the solemnity.

After all, the memory was still fresh of the previous secretary who had interrupted Cedric Phillips’ meeting, now enduring a bleak reassignment in Antarctica.

While the executives silently sent their condolences to the unfortunate soul, the secretary confidently closed the distance to the stoic Cedric and whispered something.

“Really?” A flicker of relief passed over Cedric’s usually rigid expression, a rare smile breaking through.

The room of executives fell into stunned silence, unable to utter a single word.
