Lahat ng Kabanata ng MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE!: Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

Daniel’s POVI knew something had shifted before anyone told me.I was in my office going through some updates that didn’t matter as much as they used to. Everything had been tightened since the warehouse. Every access point monitored, every contact double-checked, every possible angle accounted for. I had made sure of that myself, because after what happened, I wasn’t leaving anything open again.The room was still, the kind of stillness that comes when everything is under control on the surface, but underneath it, there’s always something waiting to move.So when my system flagged an incoming file that wasn’t routed through any of my secured channels, I didn’t ignore it. I looked at it but there was no sender and no traceable entry point.It was just a file sitting there. That alone already told me enough.This has to be Eunice. No one but her could do this.No one else would send something like this without a signature and still expect it to be opened. No one else would get this fa

Jocelyn's PovDaniel had been different since everything happened, but this wasn’t the same kind of difference I had seen before. It wasn’t the controlled distance he used when he wanted to keep things cool, and it wasn’t the cold detachment he used when he was calculating something. This felt heavier than that, and I couldn’t ignore it no matter how much I tried to convince myself to give him space.He was in the room with me, and yet it felt like he wasn’t..That was what unsettled me the most.I stood by the table for a moment longer, pretending to go through the documents in front of me even though I wasn’t reading a single line. My attention stayed on him instead, on the way he moved, on the silence that followed him, and on how deliberate everything seemed without actually leading anywhere.He wasn’t avoiding me in an obvious way..That would have been easier to deal with.Instead, he was present, but not fully there, and I could feel the distance even when he was standing a few s

Eunice's PovI did not need to be in the same room with him to know exactly when it reached him, and that was the part I found most satisfying because it meant everything had gone exactly the way I planned it. Timing had always been important to me, and in this case, it was everything, because I knew the kind of man Daniel was and I understood what it would take to shake him in a way he would not recover from easily.So I waited with full awareness of what I had set in motion and what it was going to do once it settled. There was a difference between acting and observing.I stood by the window, looking out without really focusing on anything beyond the glass, because my thoughts were elsewhere, already ahead of the moment, already tracing the reaction I knew was unfolding. I could picture it clearly without needing to see it directly, and that clarity came from experience, from knowing him, and from knowing exactly where to press.Daniel was not unpredictable. People liked to believe

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

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
