All Chapters of MY EX WANTS ME BACK? NOT A CHANCE!: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

JOCELYN’s POV“What’s the update on the investigation?” Daniel asked, but like I’d done since I’d survived getting into the car, my eyes remained closed, and I didn’t respond. Not intentionally though, my mind wasn’t on him and so, the question wasn’t even registering in my head. To say I was in a bad mood would be an understatement. Throughout, the day, my face had been in a permanent scowl as I’d thought and thought of ways to save myself. I could envision my happiness being ruined on the day of the show by an article, and the worst part of it was, it made perfect sense.We had just about three weeks to the show and advertisement was set to start that week, meaning both the company name and mine wouldn’t be leaving the minds of people. And I was well aware, the best way to make money was by talking about other people. The only thing that was going to save me was someone more influential doing something even crazier.Had the car stopped moving? I opened my eyes to see that, indeed, w

JOCELYN’s POVI opened the door beside my room and got inside, seeing Daniel had been right. It looked very similar to mine except the fact that it was a little smaller, it was also painted in the same black. What exactly had the interior decorator been thinking? I went towards the window, admiring the night view and thinking.I didn’t know how long I was going to stay here, but that decision wasn’t going to affect the studio. Even if I only ended up staying for a month, I needed to have a complete studio, basically my dream studio. I went out of the room and to the one opposite mine, opening it and making my decision immediately. This room was bigger than mine and the windows were half-length. As aesthetic looking and beautiful full length windows were normally, I would need adjustable blinds or curtains to control the glaze and doing that here seemed better than the former room. The fact that I was the one that would be in charge of it since I couldn’t have any artisan come here was

DANIEL’s POV“She could have been two-timing him, I don’t know what goes on in her mind.” A familiar voice sounded from the phone on the bed and Jocelyn picked it up quickly, turning it off.“What was that?” I asked, walking towards Jocelyn, my eyes on the phone that was held tightly in her fist now.She gripped her phone tighter. “Nothing. I’ll just look for the invitation. Thanks for coming to tell me.” She said.I stopped in front of her, ignoring her words. “Why did that voice sound like your aunty? Was that an interview?”From her confused expression, it was obvious she was wondering how I could have guessed whose voice it was. Of course, I knew it was her aunty’s voice. The very moment she and Ethan had been spotted together, I’d done a deep background search on her and her family members. Ethan represented a walking problem for me, so I needed to know what he was up to. It was also how I’d known when he decided Jocelyn was no longer worth his time and her cousin was better. Sh

DANIEL’s POVJocelyn tensed beside me and moved closer to me, whispering. “Whatever you plan was, discard it and let us get out of here.”I turned to look at her and saw Marcus heading our direction, and when I raised my hand to him, he began jogging over. I remained where I was, until he got to my front, breathing a little faster.Marcus got to our front and looked at both of us and threw the key to me, I caught it midair. “You have got to be kidding me. Was this the emergency you really needed me for? Do you realize how busy I actually am?” He asked with a frown.He briefly glanced at Jocelyn. “Good evening ma’am. We’ve probably met in passing before. I’m Marcus.”I could feel Jocelyn’s confusion that had started building when I acknowledged Marcus and turned into embarrassment when he started heading our direction. She bowed a little and took his hands. “I’m Jocelyn Campbell. Nice to meet you.”Marcus took her hand and glanced at me. “Isn’t it meant to be Steele or are you too stay

JOCELYN’s POVEthan moved towards us and stood about a foot behind Clarissa and I gave her a small victorious smile when she looked at the space he had kept between them, giving her a look that said ‘I told you so.’“Fancy seeing you here. If you’ll excuse me.” I said and made to move, but he grabbed my hand, stopping me. Clarissa flinched and frowned, but didn’t do anything.I jerked him off me. “What do you want?”“Can’t a man want to know how his ex is doing? How is your marriage going? How is it living with someone like my brother? Not like you expected, right?”I sighed. “Your fiancé is watching. You shouldn’t give her the wrong idea about you. Even if you do, at least give it a few months.”He smirked. “Don’t deceive yourself. I’m just strengthening my position of being heartbroken. Who would blame me?”At that moment, I wanted to slap him, and would have had I not known what that would cost me. I knew more people were watching us now. Fortunately, my brain was still working, so
