ARIA’s POV

The drive home felt longer than it should have. My father’s grip on the steering wheel was tight, the veins standing out on his hands. His jaw worked as though he was grinding his teeth. I sat in the back seat, slouched against the leather, unable to look at him. My throat burned from all the crying I had done.

The silence stretched, heavy and unbearable, until he finally spoke.

“I warned you,” he said, his voice hard and steady. “I warned you about the DeLuca family, Aria. I told yo

  • MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE!   Chapter 150

    Daniel's POV “You've almost arrived at your destination.” My map read as I drove deeper into the creeks. I couldn't see a building anywhere around but my instincts trusted the map. Besides, I had no other option. I drove deeper into the woods and kept turning my eyes at everything strange that I saw. I bit my lips until I started to taste my blood on my tongue. I had a mix of adrenaline pump, anxiety and determination rushing through my blood stream. It took about five minutes deeper into the woods before the map silently went off, indicating that I was at the location. Now, the problem was, there was nothing around except for trees and thick bushes. My earphones glitched in my ear. “Do you sight anything like an abandoned house?” I asked through the mouthpiece. “No boss. There's nothing in sight.” The response came from my men. My jaw locked hard. I turned my eyes around, trying to make out an abandoned house in the distance. I glanced back at the map for the umpteenth tim

  • MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE!   Chapter 149

    Jocelyn's POV Again, something felt off. Not just with work but with Daniel…my husband. After my discharge from the hospital, he reached out for a while, stayed close to me but somewhere along the line, it stopped. He didn't just stop immediately, it started from just not checking up on me anymore, sending the guards to check on me instead of doing it himself, avoiding the living room, going into meetings before I could speak with him. Initially, I tried pushing off the feeling as him just being overwhelmed with everything but at some point, I recognized that pattern once again. The same pattern that led us to almost losing each other the first time. My gaze faded outside the window, I sucked in my breath, trying to put my attention on something but no matter how hard I tried, my mind kept circling back to him. “This is so hard.” I muttered, under my breath. My table was filled with files, documents and office tasks that I had to attend to but really, I wasn't in the head spa

  • MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE!   Chapter 148

    Daniel's POV After hours of checking and baiting, I finally caught a signal on one of my laptops. “Boss, we got her.” My earpod glitched with the voice of my security men on the other end. I was in the office when the call came in. My eyes trailed on the laptop watching as the tracker blinked and moved. My jaws tightened and my fists clenched, my eyes remained unmoving from the laptop. I had to be sure that this wasn't a set up or a bait move from her. The signal clicked again and this time, it confirmed that I really had her. I had her location now. “Yes!” I whispered, feeling charged up. Adrenaline pumped through to my heart making it pound really hard. After days of constant monitoring and baiting, I finally had my hands on Eunice's location. If I wanted to finish this fast, I had to get to her as fast as I could. “Keep your eyes on her and trail from a distance. Give me all the leads you get. I'll be there shortly.” I ordered and started throwing my jacket and protective

  • MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE!   Chapter 147

    Jocelyn's POV I finally returned to work after taking time to recover at home. Now, did I honestly want to go? No. If I had my way, I would switch to working from home. At least I wouldn't have to face those vultures in human bodies at the office but due to the state of things in the company, I had to be there in person. As I rolled out of bed that morning, I couldn't wait for the time when all of these would be over and I wouldn't have to worry about skipping a couple of days from work. But for now, I had to go in whether I liked it or not. I didn't put much effort into dressing up this time. I was too weak to try to prove anything to anyone so I just applied my basic amenities and moved out of the house. I didn't care what any of them would say, I just needed to work until everything went back to normal. As I stepped into the lobby, all eyes turned on me as usual. I was used to that, it wasn't a rare sight. “They said she was shot.” “No, I don't think so.” Those were the

  • MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE!   CHAPTER 146

    Daniel's POV As soon as Jocelyn stepped into her room for the night, I pulled off my clothes, rushed into the shower for a quick one and despite the amount of pain aching all over my body, I forced my body to do some work. I needed to keep the house as guarded as possible. Even if I had to push a hundred men into the living room just to keep her safe, I would do it without thinking twice.At first, I tried working from my study. The silence and stillness gave me some sort of peace. But why would a man like me need peace? When Eunice was still out there searching for ways to take my wife from me. I hated the peace I got in my study so I packed my paperwork and headed for the living room. Being them gave me some sense of reassurance. I mean, even if anything was to happen overnight, I would be the first to get attacked. That was way better for me than Jocelyn getting attacked for the third time. As I worked deep into the night, I pulled out Eunice's previous strategies. Every t

  • MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE!   CHAPTER 145

    Jocelyn's POV Our call slowly pulled up in the house after a few days at the hospital. My breath hitched as soon as I drove into the house. I darted my eyes around, in a bid to take everything in. The last time I was here, I didn't realize how much I'd miss this space when I left. Those few days at the hospital were a lot. I hated the sterile smell that filled my nose every time and being plugged to machines didn't feel pleasant in any way. I just wanted to feel better. I wound down my window and sucked in a fresh breath of air that hit my nose as soon as we were in the garage. “Ugh, this feels so different.” I thought to myself with my eyes closed. Daniel was sitting right beside me, his eyes scanning every moment I was making. I was so caught up in taking in the environment that I didn't realize the car had actually come to a stop. When I no longer felt the car moving, my eyes fluttered open in shock, only to find Daniel staring at me with patience in his eyes. My stomach
