DANIEL’s POV

I turned off the engine and sighed again, checking my watch. My wife had just kept me waiting for over twenty minutes. At a point, I’d considered going inside to confirm she hadn’t collapsed or fainted on the way. It had taken exactly two seconds to perish the thought, and now I’d gone from that to frustration which was fast escalating to anger.

I was certain the people that had invented the phone had done so to aid communication across borders, so I was quite fascinated my wife st

  • MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE!   CHAPTER 135

    Eunice's PovI did not need to be in the same room with him to know exactly when it reached him, and that was the part I found most satisfying because it meant everything had gone exactly the way I planned it. Timing had always been important to me, and in this case, it was everything, because I knew the kind of man Daniel was and I understood what it would take to shake him in a way he would not recover from easily.So I waited with full awareness of what I had set in motion and what it was going to do once it settled. There was a difference between acting and observing.I stood by the window, looking out without really focusing on anything beyond the glass, because my thoughts were elsewhere, already ahead of the moment, already tracing the reaction I knew was unfolding. I could picture it clearly without needing to see it directly, and that clarity came from experience, from knowing him, and from knowing exactly where to press.Daniel was not unpredictable. People liked to believe

  • MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE!   CHAPTER 134

    Daniel’s POVI closed the file and left it closed. I have decided to control the space and limit my exposure. I will also reduce the movement. That was how I will handle everything else, and for a few seconds, I told myself this was no different.It was just a file.Just something pulled from the past and thrown in front of me to provoke a reaction from me.Nothing more.I adjusted slightly and stepped away from the desk, forcing my posture back into something calm, something familiar. The tension in my hands hadn’t gone away, but I ignored it. It didn’t matter. What mattered was how I handled this, and losing control over something internal was not an option.Not when everything else had just been pulled back into place.I moved toward the window without thinking, my reflection faint against the glass as the city stretched out beyond it. Everything out there was still moving, still functioning, still unaware of anything that had just shifted inside this room.That was how it should s

  • MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE!   CHAPTER 133

    Jocelyn's PovDaniel had been different since everything happened, but this wasn’t the same kind of difference I had seen before. It wasn’t the controlled distance he used when he wanted to keep things cool, and it wasn’t the cold detachment he used when he was calculating something. This felt heavier than that, and I couldn’t ignore it no matter how much I tried to convince myself to give him space.He was in the room with me, and yet it felt like he wasn’t..That was what unsettled me the most.I stood by the table for a moment longer, pretending to go through the documents in front of me even though I wasn’t reading a single line. My attention stayed on him instead, on the way he moved, on the silence that followed him, and on how deliberate everything seemed without actually leading anywhere.He wasn’t avoiding me in an obvious way..That would have been easier to deal with.Instead, he was present, but not fully there, and I could feel the distance even when he was standing a few s

  • MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE!   CHAPTER 132

    Daniel’s POVI didn’t move for a long time after the screen went dark.The office was quiet again, exactly the way it had been before the file appeared, but it didn’t feel the same. The silence had weight now. It pressed in me slowly, settling around everything, and it made it impossible to pretend that nothing had changed.Because something had.I was still standing behind the desk, with one hand resting against the edge, the other hanging loosely by my side, but there was nothing loose about it. My grip tightened without me realizing it, and the tension settled into my fingers like it needed somewhere to go.Eunice knew not just about Jocelyn. Not just about my operations.She knew something else. Something she shouldn’t have been able to reach.I looked back at the screen, still blank, still dark, but the image from moments ago hadn’t left. It stayed clear in my head, not because of the man she had taken, but because of the way she spoke. The tone. The pauses. The deliberate way sh

  • MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE!   CHAPTER 131

    Daniel’s POVI knew something had shifted before anyone told me.I was in my office going through some updates that didn’t matter as much as they used to. Everything had been tightened since the warehouse. Every access point monitored, every contact double-checked, every possible angle accounted for. I had made sure of that myself, because after what happened, I wasn’t leaving anything open again.The room was still, the kind of stillness that comes when everything is under control on the surface, but underneath it, there’s always something waiting to move.So when my system flagged an incoming file that wasn’t routed through any of my secured channels, I didn’t ignore it. I looked at it but there was no sender and no traceable entry point.It was just a file sitting there. That alone already told me enough.This has to be Eunice. No one but her could do this.No one else would send something like this without a signature and still expect it to be opened. No one else would get this fa

  • MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE!   CHAPTER 130

    Jocelyn's POVIt wasn't news that my life was a chaotic mess. I went from living an ordinary life to fighting men, old enough to be my father during meetings everyday. If I wasn't getting kidnapped on an ordinary day, those men would be searching for ways to tear me to shreds. I couldn't think of what my life would look like in the future. However, in all of these chaos, there was something I didn't fail to notice. Now, this may be a little misplaced but Daniel's attitude seemed to have taken a quick bit almost invisible change. I mean, I'd always noticed him in every way. I knew most of the things he did and I knew him to be a tough, relentless person but these days, I was starting to perceive a change in his attitude and general outlook. I mean, we were on the same page about Eunice and getting our revenge on her but beyond that, other things were starting to come up at the company that requires regular meetings and during these meetings, I was starting to notice a different

    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 wer

    JOCELYN’s POVI was tempted to massage my forehead. Unfortunately, what he had just said was difficult even for me. All my belongings were in the place I lived, and I definitely wasn’t in the right frame of mind to confront anybody, especially not Clarissa’s parents. They’d housed, fed and taken ca

I rushed out of the car with my bags and hurried to catch him, his long footsteps only putting more distance between us, but God forbid I even ask him to calm down.
