JOCELYN’s POV

I turned off the engine and rested my back against the seat, taking a deep breath in and then out like a practiced step. I’d left my office about an hour ago for this twenty minute drive but I’d driven as slow as I possibly could as well as had to keep stopping to steady myself and now that I was here, I still couldn’t bring myself to open the car door and go in.

This was three days after moving in with Daniel, and I’d quickly discovered I needed my sketchbook, journals, designs and other necessities I’d left here at home, hence my presence.

“You can do this, girl. Just go in, deflect whatever questions you’re asked, ignore Clarissa’s presence or absence, go into the room and grab what you need.” I said to myself, boosting my morale. I looked behind me, thankful no one had followed me here. I’d driven my car out of the company and somehow managed to deflect the reporters before going to rent a gray Toyota Camry, a car I knew almost everyone drove. Thankfully, my plan ha

  • MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE!   CHAPTER 17

    JOCELYN’s POVI dished the mac and cheese into two bowls and covered mine, dropping it on the counter before focusing on the second bowl, adding prettily cut fruits into it. I sighed after a few minutes of searching all the cupboards and not finding even an ugly tray. Why had I even thought I would find one? I’d had to search the cupboards on top before finding the pretty bowl I’d dished Daniel’s food in. I gave up on finding a tray and took along a bottle of soda in one hand and the hot bowl of mac and cheese in my other hand, praying all the way upstairs I would endure the heat and not drop the bowl before I got to my destination.God seemed merciful and aside from a permanent wince and groan in my throat, I got to the front of Daniel’s study with the items in both hands still there. I dropped the bottle of soda, knowing I won’t be able to pick up the bowl if I dropped that instead, and knocked on the study door. A few minutes passed before a voice finally called a ‘Come in.’I scof

    DANIEL’s POVI entered the room and started closing the door. “Leave it open. I’m not comfortable staying in the same room with you with the door locked.”I rolled my eyes. “What on earth are you thinking about now?” I replied, but she continued glaring at me. I shook my head and left the door open and went to her table.“So what have you done so far?” I asked, trying to take a look at her laptop, but she turned it away from me. “I can take care of it myself. You can leave now. Thanks for the help.” I grabbed her arm. “Have you ever been doxxed before? Because I have and trust me, the more time you waste without doing anything, the worse it gets. You need to allow me to help you. Aren’t we a team?”She rolled her eyes and removed her arm from me. “You’re the one wasting my time here. Just leave me alone and go, I can handle this myself.”I opened my mouth to argue with her again, but she raised her hand up. “I know I don’t seem trustworthy to you, maybe because I came to ask for you

    DANIEL’s POVWhat the hell was that? I glanced at Jocelyn, unsure if the sound had come from her, it had sounded like a cat in pain. I glanced at the speedometer and accelerated, I could still go ten kilometers more. I glanced at Jocelyn again and saw she was reading something on her phone, completely enthralled.I shook my head. As I’d expected, she was one of the most emotional women I’d ever had the misfortune of dealing with. I could guess what exactly was happening. Another article had come out again, and it had that much power to affect her to this point. If she was this weak willed, how did she expect to survive as my wife?I removed her from my thoughts and concentrated on getting home. One of the start-ups we’d initially invested in was well on its way to closing down after failing to meet compliance and regulatory standards. Another was going to be acquired by one of our sister companies for overdependence on funding and no sustainable revenue, after three years. One of my m

    JOCELYN’s POVDaniel pressed the horn again, and I sped up as much as I could, which really wasn’t much. I was wearing four-inch stiletto and there was no way I was going to risk busting my head in when I fell because patience wasn’t part of his vocabulary. I glanced around us and, seeing there were no other cars around, got into the ancient-looking and thankfully tinted Honda car Daniel had rented. We’d had the same idea in renting other cars that would keep us from standing out as much as possible. Daniel had also started parking almost a street over when he dropped me off and picked me up. Why? You may ask. We’d been reported for disturbing the peace of the others that parked there because the reporters still wouldn’t let us live in peace, showing up everywhere we were but making my company parking lot their base.I’d first gone the route of anybody that had a problem with it should kiss my ass since I was the owner of the company and parking lot, but there had been no need for tha

    CLARISSA’s POVI watched Jocelyn enter her room and grabbed my mother into the kitchen, both of us bursting into fits of laughter. I laughed until tears came out of my eye and still the humour hadn’t lost its power. I tried my best and finally the laughter turned to the occasional shaky breath. A look at my mother’s face had the laughter starting again and I had to bend to relieve the pain that had started in my lower abdomen. Mom’s change in position told me she was feeling the same pain and that somehow kept the laughter going. We kept on laughing for at least five minutes before we both took control of ourselves.I was finally able to stand upright without feeling like dying and I raised my palm up and Mom slapped hers against mine.“I keep on telling you two. I should have been an actress.” Mom complained.I had to nod, this time I could see exactly what she had been trying to tell us. I placed my palm against my chest. “I pledge to never discourage you from pursuing your dream ag
