. Jocelyn’s pov

I might try to think of Daniel’s silence is better to me but to be truthful, It didn’t settle anything. If anything, it made everything worse. It followed me long after the staff had cleared out, long after the house returned to its usual quiet, long after the moment that should have ended things simply but didn’t.

I could still feel it sitting between us, heavy and unresolved, like something neither of us wanted to name but neither of us could ignore either.

  • MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE!   CHAPTER 83

    Author’s pov#3rd person POV#The first post went live at exactly 9:17 a.m and it didn’t look like something that would cause damage. It was subtle, almost forgettable if you weren’t paying attention. A blurred image, low resolution, taken from a distance, with a caption that sounded more like a question than an accusation. It hinted at something without confirming anything, which made it more effective than a direct claim. People didn’t dismiss it because there was room to interpret it however they wanted.At first, the engagement was slow. A few comments. A handful of shares. Nothing alarming at that moment.Then someone reposted it with a sharper caption.That was when it started moving.By 9:25 a.m, more accounts picked it up. Smaller pages, gossip-driven, the kind that thrived on speculation rather than facts. They didn’t verify anything. They didn’t need to. They just added their own angle, their own assumptions, and pushed it forward.By 9:30 a.m., the second post dropped.This

  • MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE!   CHAPTER 82

    Daniel’s pov I found her in the study that evening, seated at the far end of the table with a stack of documents spread in front of her, her attention fixed on the screen of her laptop like nothing else existed. She didn’t look up when I walked in.I closed the door behind me and stayed where I was for a second, watching her. She didn’t move. She didn’t pretend not to notice me either. She just continued working, like my presence didn’t require acknowledgment.“We need to talk,” I said.She didn’t answer immediately. Her fingers paused briefly over the keyboard, then resumed, slower this time, like she was finishing something before deciding whether I was worth her attention.“About work?” she asked without looking up.“No.”That got a reaction from her. Her hands stilled completely this time, and after a second, she closed the file in front of her and finally looked at me.Her expression was neutral. “Then make it quick,” she said.I walked further into the room, stopping across fr

  • MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE!   CHAPTER 81

    Eunice’s pov I didn’t go to Daniel’s house just to see Jocelyn. That part was necessary, but it wasn’t the point.People like Jocelyn always needed to be seen up close before you decided how to handle them. From a distance, they looked manageable, predictable. Easy to place into a plan. But that was rarely accurate. The moment I stood in front of her, I knew she wasn’t as simple as Ethan had assumed.She wasn’t weak.That didn’t make her dangerous yet, but it meant she could become a problem if she wasn’t handled properly.And problems, if left alone, always grew.I stood by the window of my apartment, looking out at the city without really seeing it, my phone still in my hand. The call had ended a few seconds ago, but the conversation lingered.Victoria never wasted time. She also never repeated herself.“What’s your assessment?” she had asked.“I want more authority,” I replied. “More than expected.”“And Daniel?”That was the real question.“He hasn’t reacted yet,” I said. “But he

    80. Daniel’s povI didn’t respond immediately when Ethan finished speaking.The room was quiet, but not calm. There was tension sitting under everything, sharp and obvious, and everyone felt it. I could see it in the way people avoided eye contact, in the way no one moved unless they had to. They were waiting for my reaction.I looked at Ethan for a second longer than necessary, then shifted my attention to the documents on the table in front of me. His proposal was already printed, already reviewed, already understood before he even opened his mouth.He always did that. Built something that sounded solid on the surface, structured just enough to pass, and then pushed it forward like it was the only logical option.It wasn’t.I picked up the file, flipped it open, and skimmed through it again without urgency.“You’re proposing we restructure the Westbridge account under a separate management unit,” I said.“Yes,” Ethan replied, calm and confident. “It isolates the risk and reassures t

  • MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE!   CHAPTER 79

    Ethan's povI walked into the conference room already irritated.The Westbridge issue had turned into a mess faster than it should have, and everyone was tense because of it. The legal team was on edge, the finance department kept shifting blame, and the board wanted answers nobody had yet. It should have been simple. Fix the breach, stabilize the client, and move on.Instead, everyone was acting like the company was already falling apart. BlpI dropped into my chair and looked around the room. Half the executives were already there. A few people stopped talking the second they saw me. The rest pretended they hadn’t been talking in the first place.Then Jocelyn walked in.She looked exactly the same as she always did, put together, calm, unreadable but something about her had changed over the last week. She didn’t smile at anyone. She didn't’t waste time with greetings. She went straight to the head of the table, opened the file in front of her, and started reviewing notes like she d

  • MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE!   CHAPTER 78

    DANIEL’s POVSomething was off about jocelyn.I noticed it the morning after the argument, but I didn’t say anything about it. I woke up later than usual, and she was already gone. That in itself wasn’t strange, she had always been up early, but there was a difference this time. The room felt empty in a way it hadn’t before, like she hadn’t just left for the day but had taken something else with her.I ignored it at first thinking it was just normal.I got ready, went through my usual routine, and didn’t think much about it. People needed space after arguments, and that was fine. It was expected. What I didn’t expect was for it to continue.At breakfast, she wasn’t there. The table was set, her cup was gone, and the staff moved around like nothing was unusual, but I noticed the change. She hadn’t waited. She hadn’t left anything behind. It was quick and deliberate.I sat down anyway, took a few bites, and left earlier than usual.At work, it became clearer to me.I called her mid-morn

    JOCELYN’s POVI stood frozen, my limbs and entire being went numb. My eyes went wide open but I was unable to catch sight of anything important for a moment.However, I could hear screams and voices behind me. Probably all over me for a while. Unfortunately, I couldn’t register who it belonged to

    ARIA’s POVThe 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 al

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
