80. Daniel’s pov

I 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 rev

  • MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE!   CHAPTER 141

    141. Jocelyn's POV First, it was my fingers then my eyes slowly fluttered open. The minute my eyes flashed open, a sharp sting of light hit me, instantly forcing my eyes close immediately. A sudden pang of pain coursed through my head like flash. A sharp cry of pain tore through my lips. The pain literally shot through every inch of my head. Within that split second, I could swear I saw my life flash right before my eyes. My breath hitched as I groaned to hold the pain in but it was really unbearable. My head was spinning so hard that I thought it might fall off my neck for a second. My hands gripped the piece of clothing nearest to my side as the pain became just too much to bear. I hissed angrily as the pain continued sizzling through my skin and nerves. For the next few minutes, the pain went on like that until I finally started to exhale and inhale really hard. Then I felt my body slowly return to stillness. However, I couldn't bring myself to ease my body as I was still sc

  • MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE!   Chapter 140

    Daniel's PovI knew the moment she walked in that this was it, and there was no point pretending otherwise because the air between us had already shifted into something heavier than anything we had dealt with before. Jocelyn didn’t rush toward me and she didn’t contemplate either, and that alone told me she had already made up her mind about something before stepping into the room. The way she looked at me wasn’t confused and it wasn’t uncertain, and it carried a kind of quiet determination that made it clear she wasn’t here to guess anymore.She was here for the truth.I stayed where I was, not because I didn’t know what was coming, but because I had already decided I wasn’t going to avoid it this time. Running would have been easier in some ways, and deflecting would have bought me time, but neither of those options would have changed the outcome. She already knew enough to question me directly, and anything less than a real answer would only make things worse.So I waited.She stop

  • MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE!   Chapter 139

    Jocelyn’s POVI didn’t sleep. I tried, at some point. I closed my laptop, leaned back, even turned off the light like that would somehow make everything calm, but it didn’t. The silence only made it worse. Every time I closed my eyes, the fragments came back, not as clear answers, but as unfinished thoughts that refused to stay quiet.So I stopped trying.By the time the first light filtered into the room, I was already dressed, already moving, already done pretending I could wait this out and let him come to me when he was ready.Because he wouldn’t.Daniel didn’t avoid things out of fear. If he believed something needed to stay buried, then he would keep it there, no matter what it cost.And right now, that cost included me. That was what pushed me out the door.I didn’t rush down the hallway, but I didn’t slow down either. I was going to meet Daniel. His space was at the far end.Now, It felt like a boundary I had already decided to cross.The guards outside nodded slightly when th

  • MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE!   CHAPTER 138

    Daniel's pov I knew the moment it changed, and I didn’t need her to say anything for me to understand it.It was in the way she looked at me, in the way her eyes stayed on me a second longer than usual, and in the silence that followed when I chose not to answer her. Jocelyn had always been observant, and I had known that from the beginning, but this was different. This wasn’t just her noticing small shifts or reading between the lines. This was her putting things together, piece by piece, until she reached something that felt real enough to question.She didn’t know everything but she knew more than enough and that was where the problem started.I stood where I was, not moving, not speaking, and I let the silence stretch because there was nothing I could say that would change what she had already seen. The words I would say would only complicate it, and explanations would only raise more questions, and I wasn’t ready for that.I exhaled slowly, calming myself in a way that had becom

  • MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE!   CHAPTER 137

    Jocelyn’s POVI received one undeniable piece of evidence that explained everything and left no room for doubt. This came in pieces, small, disconnected parts that didn’t make sense on their own, but refused to stay separate once I started putting them together.And that was what made it worse.I sat in the same position I had been in for hours, the glow of the screen the only light left in the room, and I stared at the data in front of me without blinking.It wasn’t much enough to prove anything completely but it was enough to make me pause, enough to make me go back and check it again. Enough to make my chest tighten in a way that didn’t feel like curiosity anymore.The first piece had been easy to dismiss. A missing link between two records that should have connected. That alone didn’t mean anything.I believed it for a while until I found the second piece.It wasn’t directly connected to the first, not in a way that stood out immediately, but the timing overlapped just enough to m

  • MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE!   CHAPTER 136

    Jocelyn’s POVI knew something was wrong before he said anything.Daniel didn’t need to explain it. He didn’t need to act differently in a way anyone else would notice. It was in the small things, the quiet shifts that most people wouldn’t catch, the way his attention lingered somewhere else even when he was right in front of me. I had learned him enough to know he was troubled by something and doesn't want me to know.And once I saw it, I couldn’t ignore it.At first, I told myself it would pass. That whatever it was, he would handle it the way he handled everything else, controlled and neat, without letting it touch anything outside of what he allowed. That was how he worked. That was how he kept things in control.But this time, It wasn’t staying contained.He didn’t say anything directly. He didn’t bring it up, didn’t even hint at it in a way that could be questioned openly. But the silence around it was too deliberate. Too careful. It wasn’t the kind of silence that came from som

    JOCELYN’s POVI entered the boardroom and immediately turned to Harvey with questions and accusations in my eyes. I’d intentionally made sure to come ten minutes before the scheduled time, but the fact that all twenty-two pair of eyes rose to me immediately I opened the door told me I’d either gott

    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

    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 l

    JOCELYN’s POVI 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 no
