No Need to See You Again Chapter 10
Jocelyn's POVShawn froze. The threat of losing everything he owned, coupled with the countless probing stares from the room, left him pinned to the spot, unable to move an inch.I didn't spare him another glance. I slipped my arm through Nelson's and walked toward the head table.…Halfway through the reception, I excused myself to use the restroom.Nelson grabbed my wrist, a flash of worry in his eyes. "I'm coming with you. That lunatic isn't in his right mind, and I don't feel comfortable letting you go alone.""Are you getting a little too comfortable in the bodyguard role?" I teased.I couldn't help but chuckle, thinking back to his seamless performance as my chauffeur the other night.I gave his hand a reassuring pat. "Don't worry. This is Kristine's wedding. Shawn cares too much about his reputation to cause a scene here."I patted the back of his hand once more, coaxing him back into his seat, then walked out of the banquet hall alone.But just as I rounded the corner
No Need to See You Again Chapter 9
Jocelyn's POV"Wait—is that the Fletcher heir, the one who's been expanding their business overseas? Since when did he come back to the country?" a guest gasped."Jocelyn pulled off a marriage alliance with the Fletchers? Without a word to anyone?" another voice cut in."Nelson Fletcher…"Shawn went rigid as a wave of paralyzing panic crashed over him."That's impossible. You've only known him a few days!"He whirled toward the crowd, his voice cracking into a hysterical shout."Jocelyn, we've been together for five years—five goddamn years! How can you just turn around and marry another man?"As the revelation hung in the air, every set of eyes in the ballroom widened, fixing on us in stunned disbelief."What? Those two rivals have been together this whole time?""Oh my god! If they've been together for five years, then at the party the other night…"Kristine's face was drained of color. She clamped a hand over her mouth, her eyes flooding with guilt."Oh, Josie… at that p
No Need to See You Again Chapter 8
Jocelyn's POV"Who gave you permission to touch her? Get your hands off her!" Shawn snarled.His eyes, streaked with red, burned with murderous rage as he glared at Nelson's hand on my arm.He lunged toward us, reaching out to yank me back into his arms."Shawn, what are you doing?"My brows knitted together as I raised a hand, pressing it firmly against his chest and shoving him back a pace.It was an effortless move, yet it hit him like a physical blow, freezing him in his tracks.Because there, on the hand pushing him back, a diamond ring caught the crystalline light of the ballroom."What… what is this?"Shawn's gaze anchored on my ring finger, the final shards of his composure crumbling away."Josie, what is that ring doing on your finger?""I already told you I'm getting engaged," I said, meeting his eyes with level calm.I let the next words twist like a knife. "But once I got home, I realized waiting until the weekend was far too long, so yesterday, with both our fa
No Need to See You Again Chapter 7
Shawn's POVI let Alyssa's question hang in the air, my white-knuckled grip on the ring and the defensive look in my eyes saying everything I wouldn't."You really chose her."Her voice was barely a whisper, thick with a bitter mix of scorn and disbelief."Everyone claims you and Jocelyn are at each other's throats, but at that party, you couldn't take your eyes off her."She reached out to catch my hand. "Shawn, I know I was wrong to leave. I should have stayed by your side when things got rough for your family. But my dad forced my hand! If I hadn't agreed to go abroad, he would have sold me off into some arranged marriage.""I spent every single day abroad waiting for you, but you never came for me," she choked out.Her eyes rimmed with red as her voice finally splintered. "I kept making excuses, telling myself you were just swamped. I thought what we had meant something more. Were all those years just a lie?"I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. When I finally found my
No Need to See You Again Chapter 6
Shawn's POVThe moment I stepped through the door, an unnatural stillness hung over the entryway. It felt wrong. The pink fuzzy slippers Jocelyn always left by the door were gone.In the living room, the windowsill that had once been crowded with her thriving succulents was completely bare.The familiar blend of oud and fresh laundry had vanished from the air. I could barely catch a trace of it anymore.I shoved the bedroom door open like a man losing his mind, only to find Jocelyn's side of the closet picked clean."How… how is it empty?" I murmured, my fingers starting to tremble.Alyssa followed me in, her voice light and innocent. "Wow, Shawn! I can't believe you keep this place so spotless even when you live alone. You really are quite the catch."A catch?The words felt like a serrated blade stabbing into my chest.I remembered the countless nights I'd been swamped with work, not dragging myself home until the early hours of the morning.It was Jocelyn who always left a
No Need to See You Again Chapter 5
Jocelyn's POVShawn's eyes immediately locked onto the man standing beside me, helping with my suitcase."Jocelyn, I already told you I'm only looking after Alyssa because my mom asked me to," he snapped. "Do you really have to find some guy just to spite me?"He stormed toward us, and my heart tightened instinctively.But as I turned, I saw Nelson Fletcher, the man my family had arranged for me to marry, quickly slip on a face mask and a pair of white gloves.He bowed with exaggerated politeness, stepping seamlessly into character."Mr. Lowell, you've got the wrong idea. I'm Ms. Clarke's private butler and chauffeur.""What kind of chauffeur is too afraid to show his face yet bold enough to touch his employer's hand?"Shawn clearly wasn't buying the act. He let out a cold laugh, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "I'd love to know exactly which agency employs a chauffeur who doesn't know his place."He lunged forward, reaching to rip the mask off Nelson's face.Afraid he was a
