MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE! CHAPTER 168
Jocelyn’s povThe gala was brighter than ever.The light spilled from the crystal chandeliers in a long rivers across the floors. Music drifted through the ballroom. The glasses caught the glow of gold fixtures. The diamonds flashed at wrists and throats. It was the kind of night built for appearances.The kind of place where smiles were worn beautifully. Where one glance could carry more meaning than a speech. Where everyone looked beautiful and very few people were honest.The kind of place where everything once began.I stood at the top of the grand staircase for a brief moment before descending beside Daniel, and the memory of the first gala I had attended with him came back so sharply that I almost felt it physically.That night I had stood beside a stranger I was tied to by circumstance, not trust. I had worn my confidence like a borrowed jewelry.That night Daniel had been unreadable, cold, impossible to predict. He had looked perfect in every sense that mattered to people lik

Daniel's Pov She finally lifted her head from my chest. She stood in front of me with that look in her eyes again. The one that always reached deeper than words.Jocelyn had many expressions I had come to recognize over time. Some were sharp enough to warn me before she spoke. Some were unreadable on purpose. But this one was different and honesty from her always carried weight because she never offered it cheaply.The morning air moved quietly around us, cool and thin after the long night, and everything beyond the small space between us felt distant. Jocelyn was looking at me like the answer to something important depended on what I did next.I knew that feeling. I had caused it enough times.Too many times, if I was honest.There had been moments when I stepped close only to step back again. Moments when I let tension speak in place of truth because truth required more than I wanted to give. Moments when I hid behind sarcasm, behind timing, behind plans, behind every convenient

Jocelyn’s POVBy the time we got back home, the silence felt different.Maybe it was because we had nearly lost everything outside those walls.Maybe it was because fear had stripped away the illusions both of us hid behind.Maybe it was because when something breaks open badly enough, it becomes impossible to return to pretending.Daniel walked in ahead of me, then stopped near the center of the living room as if he had only just realized we were here. For a man who noticed everything, he looked strangely distant now. Not distracted in the careless sense. More like someone whose body had arrived before the rest of him.He loosened his tie with one hand and set his keys on the table without looking at where they landed. The movement was small, ordinary, but I watched it anyway.I watched everything now. The fatigue in the set of his shoulders.The tension still lingered in the way he held himself too straight. The silence around him that no longer felt cold, only tired.He turned slig

Daniel's Pov The police were later allowed to enter the room and led Eunice away.The two policemen held her firmly at either side, guiding her toward the waiting vehicle while the rest of my security team kept the place locked down.She walked at first with the same rigid pride she had. Anyone who didn’t know her would have believed she still had her way out of the situation.I stood a few feet away and watched in silence, my hands at my sides, the night air cool against skin that still carried the heat of fear. Around us, the men moved with quiet efficiency. The doors opened and shut. But my focus stayed on Eunice not because I wanted one last look not because I needed answers. Because the endings deserved to be seen clearly.Eunice turned towards me before reaching the car. Her eyes found mine immediately. For years, that look had meant something. It had carried challenges, invitations, warnings, manipulation. There had been a time I could not separate one from the other.Now it

Jocelyn’s POVI shook my head slowly.“I’m fine.”The words came out softer than I intended, roughened by smoke, fear, and the strain of everything that had happened in the last few minutes. They sounded small in the wrecked room, almost fragile against the chaos that still lingered around us.But they were the only words I could manage.I wasn’t fine.My pulse was still racing hard enough to make my hands tremble. My knees felt weak, as if they might give out the moment I stopped leaning on something solid. My ears still rang from the gunshots, and every sharp sound in the room made my body tense before I could stop it. The smell of gunpowder clung to the air. His men were moving around us, voices low and urgent, clearing the aftermath of what had nearly become a disaster.Nothing about me was fine and yet I said it anyway.Maybe because I didn’t know how to explain what I actually felt. Maybe because the truth was too large to fit into a sentence.Maybe because Daniel was still hold

Daniel's povEunice had always known how to hide weakness behind posture, behind silence, behind the kind of composure that made others second-guess themselves. But I knew her too well for that. I had spent enough years watching her turn moments to her advantage, enough years learning what she concealed and what she revealed, to recognize the smallest crack when it formed.And it formed.It was there in the way her grip shifted, in the split second where her focus scattered instead of sharpening, and in the tiny pause that should never have existed in someone like her.That was all I needed.I moved before the thought had fully finished in my mind. My body reacted faster than logic ever could, driven by something deeper than calculation and sharper than reason.Jocelyn was the only thing in my mind.I lunged forward, closing the gap with enough force that Eunice had no time to reset herself. My hand caught Jocelyn first, gripping her arm and shoulder at once, and I pulled her hard tow

DANIEL’s POVMy eyes scanned the room again and Marcus hit my shoulder. I turned to the group I was in and saw they were all looking at me curiously.“Senator wanted to know when you and your wife would be free for lunch with him and his family.” Marcus said and I glanced at Senator Hayes. Senator

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, complet

JOCELYN's POVI could have cried. Okay, maybe I was being dramatic but right now, it was like my mood had done a complete one eighty. After hearing the way the sponsors I’d always counted on had downgraded my effort, design, and practically the whole show, I’d been burning with fury because of how

JOCELYN’s POV“I just spoke with the person in charge of the printing. How couldn’t you notice that error until it was this late? I said as I entered my office, slamming the door behind me. I listened to the response while shaking my head because like I’d expected, it was all just excuses. I massa
