Dear Billionaire Ex, You Don’t Own Me A stern warning
Jocelyn’s POV Pulling Henry to stand beside me, I looked Eduardo up and down then clenched my hands into fists. “It's nice seeing you again, Jocelyn,” Eduardo said then gestured to Henry. “Is he your son?” I was doing my possible best to maintain a calm composure because I didn't want to act rudely in Henry's presence, but the stupid smile on Eduardo's face wasn't helping matters in the slightest. If anything, it made me want to yell all sorts of profanities at him. “Yes.” I calmly replied, although the look of disdain on my face probably said another thing entirely. “Mummy, do you know Mister Edardo?” Henry asked, to which I shook my head in negation as I wiped the glare off my face. “No, baby.” Frowning, Henry looked from him to me. “But he just called you by your name.” Fuck, this wasn't how I'd planned today at all. Never had I thought that the day when Eduardo and Henry would meet would come this soon. If anything, I had foolishly thought I could find a way to

Jocelyn’s POV “Good job, baby.” I praised Henry as he washed the dishes in the sink. “Thank you, mummy.” He grinned, grey eyes taking the shape of crescents and causing him to resemble Eduardo.Henry was currently standing on a stool with his small hands overshadowed by the large dish gloves. He looked so cute and I could barely resist taking a picture of him doing the dishes, so I did and sent it to his godmother, Nancy.Pushing down the thoughts of my ex-husband, I stroked Henry's hair affectionately before wiping the dishes and stacking them in the cabinet.I had initially wanted to wash them with the dishwasher but Henry had insisted on washing them with hands, so I had agreed.Today was saturday, so we had no plans to go out at all. However, tomorrow was going to be a special day as Nancy was finally moving to America from Australia.She had gotten a more flexible and well-paying job here and had decided to accept it. I was more than excited for her arrival and couldn't wait to

Eduardo’s POV “The guy has never been serious for once in his life,” Bryan spoke bitterly from the other end. “I don't even know why I bother with him.”Bryan was complaining to me about his younger brother who was notorious for being a cassanova and leaching off of him. His lastest crime was gambling his shares of their family's business and going AWOL.“Don't let him get you so worked up. He's an adult, so he can figure himself out, okay?”“I just don't understand how one can live so recklessly.”Just then, a knock came on the door. “I have a meeting now, we will talk later, man.” I told him and he sighed.“Alright then.” He responded before ending the call.Placing my phone on my desk, I said. “Come in.”Rafael walked in holding an iPad. “They have arrived, sir. Should I tell them to carry on or will you join them now?”“I will join them,” I replied, standing up, as something akin to excitement coursed through me.Today was the day Jocelyn and I would make our business partnersh

Jocelyn’s POV “Tocobo chain of companies has agreed to your terms regarding your investment in them, ma'am,” Amelia divulged, as she scrolled down her iPad. “Should I proceed with drafting the contract?”Pressing my lips into a thin line, I nodded. “Sure. That was easier than I thought it'd be.”“I agree,” Amelia said, and I chortled.As I opened my mouth to respond to her, my phone vibrated with an incoming call.“Give me one minute please,” I told Amelia who nodded, before grabbing my phone to see who it was.On seeing that it was an unknown caller, I contemplated rejecting the call and blocking their line. Right from time, I had always hated answering calls from unknown numbers because it filled me with immense anxiety.For some reasons, I decided to fight my fears and answer the call. Placing the phone to my ear, I waited for the caller to speak.“Am I on to Jocelyn Roswell?” A familiar baritone graced my ears.“Yes, who is this?”“Thank goodness, this is Damien,” He said, and I

Jocelyn’s POV “Ooh, my little artist is deeply engrossed in his work,” I said, as I entered the living room where Henry was kneeling on the tiled floor and drawing something.We had both returned from work and kindergarten respectively an hour ago and were now unwinding.I was in the middle of making dinner when I suddenly remembered that I had some leftover dough in the refrigerator, so I had decided to quickly make some cookies for Henry.“Hi, mummy,” He looked up and darted me a cursory smile before averting his focus to his drawing.“Hi, my love. I made chocolate cookies. Do you want some?”“Not yet, mummy,” He muttered. “This drawing is so confiscated.”“Confiscated?” I frowned, trying to deduce what Henry meant.“Yes, mummy. It's so hard and diffcud to draw,” He explained, and it instantly clicked.“Oh, you mean the drawing is complicated,” I said, stifling my laugh. “And baby, it's difficult, not diffcud, okay?”“Okay, mummy,” Henry mumbled, nodding before grabbing an eraser t
Last Updated : 2024-09-23Dear Billionaire Ex, You Don’t Own Me A risky decision
Eduardo’s POV Gazing at my sullen reflection in the mirror, I exhaled heavily as I thought of how I ruined my once happy life with my own hands.Although I didn't want to admit it, I knew the possibility of me ever getting Jocelyn back was zero. I had seen the way her eyes burned with vitriolic hatred whenever she looked at me.How she gazed at me with intense disgust and disdain.I deserved it of course for everything I had put her through in the past, but I just couldn't help but feel bad and miserable.Nothing was known about Henry 's dad and it made me greatly unnerved.As I donned my coat, a funny thought strayed into my mind; what if Henry was my son?“You have finally lost it,” I said aloud. “There's no way that can be possible.”But then again, Henry seemed to be about five years of age, and Jocelyn and I had divorced within that time range.What if she had been pregnant when I ended our marriage like the despicable loser that I was?But she had survived a tragic accident af

Jocelyn’s POV “Hi, babes,” I said as I trekked into my office and plopped onto my swivel chair. “How is Texas treating you?” Nancy huffed from the other end of the lined from the other end of the line. “Not so nice since I've not had the chance to visit some fun places. I've been going from seminars to seminars ever since I got here.” “Sorry, Nan. Don't worry, we'll go on a weekend getaway to Texas as soon as I finish my business here in America.” I reassured her. “Alright, babe. That reminds me, how is the whole partnership with Eduardo going? I hope he hasn't done anything stupid.” She uttered, and I smiled. “It's going well. I barely see him unless It's business-related,” I said. “And no, he won't dare do something stupid.” “That's good. You know I still don't understand how exactly you plan to revenge on him,” Nancy said. “To me, this joint venture seems too risky. What if you end up falling for him again?” I burst out into a peal of laughter as I imagined myself fal

Eduardo’s POV “You know what,” Jocelyn said. “Nevermind, it's none of my business. I don't care.” Although her nonchalance broke my heart, I tried not to show it. “What are you doing here, Mr Edardo?” Henry asked, as he regarded me closely. Our son. Henry was really our son. Jocelyn and I truly had a connection that was greater than everything; we had an adorable little boy together. “Actually, Henry,” I started. “I live here now and I've been living here for the past three days. Do you live here too?” “Oh, cut it out, actor of the year,” Jocelyn snapped. “We both know the reason why you moved here.” “A renovation is being done on my house at the moment and I had nowhere else to go,” I fibbed. “Thus you decided to move to the exact place where I live. Do you even know how odd that sounds?” Jocelyn scoffed, shaking her head as one would a petulant child. I had less than five months to win her back, and I had barely made progress. But something in me was confident that

Dear Billionaire Ex, You Don’t Own Me Family of five
Jocelyn’s POV I woke up to the sound of machines beeping next to me.As I winked an eye open, a tangy antiseptic smell infiltrated my line of smell, causing me to scrunch my nose in distaste for a moment.After a while, I squeezed my eyes open and squinted instantly as sunlight diffracted through the window panes, into my eyes.Looking around, I realized that I was in a hospital room, and also experiencing numbness from my waist down which made me put two and two together as I stared at my moderately big stomach.Melon was out.I managed a weak smile as I clasped my hands together before something clicked in my head.My baby wasn't with me.As I made to rip the IV off my wrist and go in search of a doctor, the door opened and my obstetrician, Dr Wineheart, walked in, clad in grey scrubs.“You are finally awake,” He said. “Welcome back to life.”“Thanks,” I replied. “Where's my baby?”Sure, I had managed to get over the trauma of losing a child the first and second time, but I knew I
Dear Billionaire Ex, You Don’t Own Me Birth
Jocelyn’s POV “I’m seeing someone,” Ivy uttered, as she took her seat beside me, a simmering cup of ginger tea in her hold. “He's also a doctor. He was recently transferred here from Norway.”“Finally,” I squeaked, clapping my hands together in excitement.“I have to get over Brian somehow, don't I?” She shrugged then took a sip of tea.“Hold on, you are using the new guy as a rebound?” I asked. “Really, Ivy?”“Don't judge me,” Ivy sighed, throwing her hands in surrender. “In all honesty, he's not a rebound because I kind of like him too. He's funny, tall, and handsome.”For peace to reign, I decided against pushing the subject further and instead remain on the current topic which was the new guy.“So how and when did he ask you out?”“Three days ago after we finished a surgery together,” Ivy chuckled. “A romantic to the core, isn't he?”“I guess he is in a way,” I replied.“He told me he got an epiphany during the surgery and realized that life was too short to keep one's feelings h
Dear Billionaire Ex, You Don’t Own Me Silly questions
Jocelyn’s POV As I flipped through the pages of a maternity book, a knock came on the door of the bedroom before Eduardo let himself in, a smile playing on his handsome face.“Hi, baby. How are you?” He asked, walking over to press a kiss to my lips and forehead.“Good,” I replied, rubbing my gargantuan belly. “The baby is kicking gently today which is quite surprising. If I didn't have an experience with pregnancy, I would have asked you to drive me to the hospital, so we could get her checked.”I was currently in the seventh month and last trimester of my pregnancy, and as much as I loved my unborn baby girl, I couldn't wait for it to come out.Last week, I had found out that I was having a girl via the surprise baby shower Amelia and Ivy had thrown me and I was very excited to meet my little baby girl.However, being cooped up at home for the past three months could be sickening and frustrating because I was always alone in the house.Three months ago during an appointment with my
Dear Billionaire Ex, You Don’t Own Me News
Eduardo’s POV Leaning against the doorway of our bedroom, I observed Jocelyn as she laid, cocooned in the blanket, face scrunched up in displeasure and possible ache, which she wouldn't admit.She had been like that for the past five hours and it was currently ten in the morning.I had come home last night to meet Ivy having dinner with the kids and Jocelyn copoed up in bed, burning hot with a temperature.All my efforts to get her to go to the hospital had been in vain, as she had vehemently stated she was fine and didn't need to be assessed by a doctor.Right now, as I looked at her, I mentally admonished myself for listening to her last night, instead of doing a better job of persuading her to see a doctor.“That does it, baby. We are going to the hospital,” I said, and watched her try but fail to sit up.I was instantly at her side, propping a pillow behind her and covering her with the blanket.“Thanks, Ed,” She said then sneezed into the handkerchief in her hand. “I don't need
Dear Billionaire Ex, You Don’t Own Me Sick
Jocelyn’s POV I winced as the back of my head tightened with an excruciating ache, stifling the urge to groan in pain.“The sales memo and the quarterly report were thoroughly reviewed and evaluated by me yesterday, so everything should be perfect,” The team leader of sales department, Micheal Gould, said into the microphone, aggravating my migraine.“Okay, that's good.’ I forced myself to say, balling my hands into fists and placing it on my lap.I couldn't help but wonder why I had such a bad headache that afternoon, as the voices in the conference room blurred, and the sound of my heart thumping filled my ears.My mouth was hot, my lips numb, and my body warm as the ache intensified.I had woken up hale and hearty today, excited for the start of a new work week, and mine and Eduardo's impending dinner that was supposed to happen later today.But given how I seemed to have fallen ill all of a sudden, I knew the dinner would likely not happen anymore.The mere thought of it was beyo
Dear Billionaire Ex, You Don’t Own Me Meeting the parents
Eduardo’s POV “It's been less than a year since I left yet it feels like a decade has passed,” Jocelyn said, one hand out of the window and her eyes squeezed shut as the wind tousled her long, auburn hair.Even though she couldn't see it, I darted her a smirk before turning my attention to the road.We were currently in Australia for the week, as Henry and Olivia were currently on summer break.Jocelyn and I had decided to take them to Australia, mainly because we wanted to expose Olivia to the country and stuff.Due to the sick plan Nancy had pulled, she had been unable to spend time in Australia with her mother and sibling.Although that was in the past now, I couldn't help but feel vitriolic anger toward both Nancy and Sofia whenever I thought about it.But as Jocelyn had told me the other day, focusing on the bad things that happened in the past instead of being pleased and grateful with one's current situation, wasn't the right thing to do.I had Jocelyn and my wonderful childre
Dear Billionaire Ex, You Don’t Own Me Birthday
Jocelyn’s POV I inhaled shakily as I stroked my fingers across the framed picture of Henry and Olivia on the nightstand.In a few hours time, my babies would turn six and ten years from now on, they would be in high school.Another two years later, they would be in college and before I knew it, they would have their respective families.Of course I knew a day like that was still several years away, I couldn't help but feel a sort of bittersweet emotion at the mere thought.To think about six years ago, they and their brother in heaven, had been in my belly, wrapped around each other, small, tiny, pink, and completely helpless was so heartbreaking yet heartwarming.“Come on, Josie. We promised to focus on the positive part, didn't we?” I chided myself, using the back of my hand to wipe off my tears.Just then, the bathroom door creaked and Eduardo walked out.“Babe, what time are we picking up the cake? Ivy s-” He began to say but stopped when he sighted me.Sighing, he closed the di
Dear Billionaire Ex, You Don’t Own Me Gratitude
Jocelyn’s POV “Ivy, you know I will never judge you, right?” I asked her.“Yes, I know. Where's this coming from?” She replied with a question of her own which made me huff.“Cut it out, Ivy. It's been three weeks since you told me about whatever happened between you and Brian at the wedding,” I said, and she sighed. “Ever since then, you have been seemingly avoiding coming over to our place. What is going on, Ivy?”There was silence for a couple of moments that I almost thought Ivy had hung up on him.As I removed my phone to check if the call was still ongoing, she sighed again. “I will tell you everything in due time, Josie. It's kinda a serious matter.”“Are you pregnant and he's refusing to accept it?” I blurted out the first question that came to mind.“No, of course not,” She replied, sounding amused. “We had sex that night.”“Oh,” I said, suddenly at a loss for words.I mean, it was very evident, given the sexual tension between them that something like that may or may not ha
Dear Billionaire Ex, You Don’t Own Me Sports day
Jocelyn’s POV “Is everyone ready?” I asked Amelia as I swiped my lipgloss across my lower lip.“Yes, ma'am,” She replied. “Alright then. Let's be on our way,” I replied, stowing the lipgloss away into my drawer. “This meeting has to end in thirty minutes. Forty five max.”“Oh, are you going somewhere, Miss?”“Yes. Today is Sports day at the kindergarten and my children will not forgive me if I fail to show up,” I divulged. “I already missed their final practice last week because I had to close the Braxton deal.”“Perhaps we should just postpone today's meeting then.” Amelia suggested, and I shook my head in negation.“No, we can't do that. I have been postponing this meeting for three months now,” I replied. “I want to get it done and over with. Plus work starts at the sight in about a week from now.”The meeting was to discuss my latest area of investment; the wine industry.I had taken an interest in the industry after I mistakenly made a bottle of grape wine. On the day, Henry a
