DANIEL’s POV

I closed the laptop I was using to read the report on the progress of the startups we’d invested in the last year as Jocelyn unlocked her car door. I didn’t bother coming down or winding down my window, I knew Jocelyn and knew her curiosity would make her come to meet me, even with how dangerous it could potentially be with her new status as my wife. The stupid woman. Plus, it was always fun to rile her up., she looked riled up enough as she headed to my car. She pursed her lips and knocked on my window, and I rolled it down. My eyes registered her surprise and what she was holding in her hand at the same time, and I ducked down as she sprayed the pepper spray straight where my eyes would have been.

“What is wrong with you?”

“Jeez. Woman. Trying to make me blind on our first day of marriage?”

We both spoke at the same time. I saw her eyes still trying to maintain her angry facade as the guilt tried to push it away. She raised her chin, and one side of my lip turned up at

  • MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE!   CHAPTER 19

    JOCELYN’s POVI leaned against a wall and closed my eyes, trying to reorient myself. The flashes and yells of questions were even more unbearable today. I opened my eyes after a few minutes and, ignoring the employees that were staring at me, headed to my office, whistling. At the very least, I’d survived the morning I’d been dreading since yesterday, the thought of this morning had robbed me of my sleep.But life had to happen, and my happy bubble was burst. I tried ignoring Clarissa and staying on my path to my office, but she came to stand in front of me, her arms in front of her chest and eyes shooting daggers at me. Even though I was aware of the fact that my being doxxed had affected her, I firmly believed she had no right to get angry with me. She was the cause of everything, and the thought of the text she’d sent to me yesterday still made me want to clench both my jaws and fists, so I won’t accidentally punch her in the face. I crossed my arm in front of my chest as well. Sh

    DANIEL’s POV“Fine. Under one condition.” I said, and Jocelyn turned to me. I could see her pleased expression, and it made some of the anger I was feeling leave me.“What condition?” She asked.I went back to sit down and pointed at the couch that sat adjacent to my table and beside my shelf. “Have your seat.”She frowned as she went to sit down. “The condition.” She started and I smiled. It seemed like she had just remembered the last condition I’d given her and what she’d had to do.“It’s not as difficult as getting married.” I said, my voice intentionally cheerful,“Fine, then what is it?” I picked my phone up from the table and stretched it to her, but she shook her head. “Let me hear the condition first. What crazy thing will you ask for now?”I put my hand on my heart as if it hurt. “What do you mean by crazy things? Don’t you trust me?”She locked eyes with me as she responded. “Of course not.”I nodded with a smile. “That’s good. You should also act like that towards everyon

    JOCELYN’s POVI dished the mac and cheese into two bowls and covered mine, dropping it on the counter before focusing on the second bowl, adding prettily cut fruits into it. I sighed after a few minutes of searching all the cupboards and not finding even an ugly tray. Why had I even thought I would find one? I’d had to search the cupboards on top before finding the pretty bowl I’d dished Daniel’s food in. I gave up on finding a tray and took along a bottle of soda in one hand and the hot bowl of mac and cheese in my other hand, praying all the way upstairs I would endure the heat and not drop the bowl before I got to my destination.God seemed merciful and aside from a permanent wince and groan in my throat, I got to the front of Daniel’s study with the items in both hands still there. I dropped the bottle of soda, knowing I won’t be able to pick up the bowl if I dropped that instead, and knocked on the study door. A few minutes passed before a voice finally called a ‘Come in.’I scof

    DANIEL’s POV I entered the room and started closing the door. “Leave it open. I’m not comfortable staying in the same room with you with the door locked.” I rolled my eyes. “What on earth are you thinking about now?” I replied, but she continued glaring at me. I shook my head and left the door open and went to her table. “So what have you done so far?” I asked, trying to take a look at her laptop, but she turned it away from me. “I can take care of it myself. You can leave now. Thanks for the help.” I grabbed her arm. “Have you ever been doxxed before? Because I have and trust me, the more time you waste without doing anything, the worse it gets. You need to allow me to help you. Aren’t we a team?” She rolled her eyes and removed her arm from me. “You’re the one wasting my time here. Just leave me alone and go, I can handle this myself.” I opened my mouth to argue with her again, but she raised her hand up. “I know I don’t seem trustworthy to you, maybe because I came to

    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, completely enthralled.I shook my head. As I’d expected, she was one of the most emotional women I’d ever had the misfortune of dealing with. I could guess what exactly was happening. Another article had come out again, and it had that much power to affect her to this point. If she was this weak willed, how did she expect to survive as my wife?I removed her from my thoughts and concentrated on getting home. One of the start-ups we’d initially invested in was well on its way to closing down after failing to meet compliance and regulatory standards. Another was going to be acquired by one of our sister companies for overdependence on funding and no sustainable revenue, after three years. One of my m

    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 were no other cars around, got into the ancient-looking and thankfully tinted Honda car Daniel had rented. We’d had the same idea in renting other cars that would keep us from standing out as much as possible. Daniel had also started parking almost a street over when he dropped me off and picked me up. Why? You may ask. We’d been reported for disturbing the peace of the others that parked there because the reporters still wouldn’t let us live in peace, showing up everywhere we were but making my company parking lot their base.I’d first gone the route of anybody that had a problem with it should kiss my ass since I was the owner of the company and parking lot, but there had been no need for tha
