MY EX PUT ME IN JAIL AND NOW HE WANTS ME BACK Chapter 21
JAMES', POVI watch Mia closely. My eyes trace the subtle movements of her lips as she smiles. The light in her eyes never fades as she watches the models strut down the runway. There’s something in the way she observes them. It’s like she sees something the rest of us don’t.I excuse myself from the group I’d been chatting with. I push through the crowd, each step taking me closer to her. When I finally reach her side, a smile breaks across my face, almost involuntarily. I can feel the subtle shift in her energy as she feels me approach. Her back straightens just a little. “Hey,” I say softly “Are you okay?”She glances at me briefly, then takes a sip from her glass“Yeah, I’m fine. Thanks for asking.”I study her. I can tell there's more she’s not saying, but I don’t want to push. Yet, something in me can’t help but wonder—what the hell just happened? Why did that guy mess with her like that?I take a seat beside her. My eyes never leave her face as I try to read her, like I’ve alw

THIRD PERSON'S POVAs James pulls up to the entrance of Mia’s mansion, he can’t help but stare. He was taken aback by its beauty. The house is even more sophisticated than he expects. "Is this your place?" he asks Mia.Mia nods "Yes" James’s eyes widen, impressed. “Wow, it's stunning. You have an eye for good things—just like with the dresses at the event. The crowd can’t stop talking about them. They’re all so striking. I have to say, you’ve got brilliance written all over you.” His words are meant to be a compliment, but there's something more sincere, something deeper inside them.Mia’s smile widens and her eyes are filled with pride. She hadn’t expected such genuine admiration, and it warms her. “Thanks, James. Now that you mention it, I’m quite proud of it. It makes me stand out, after all.” The moment lingers as they stare at each other. James can’t tear his eyes away from her, but he quickly snaps himself out of it and makes a quick move to open the car door for her. He wal

THIRD PERSONS POVMia stands before the mirror for the third time that morning, looking at her reflection. She wants to make sure she looks perfect. She's dressed in a white blouse, paired with blue pants and heels. Her style has always been top notch. But today, as she looks at herself, she feels some sort of way. She sighs and steps away from the mirror, moving toward Wendy’s room. She peeks inside Wendy’s room. Her heart softens as she sees her daughter curled up under the fluffy blankets, still sleeping.. Quietly, she steps inside, closing the door behind her softlyMia leans down, brushing a stray lock of hair from Wendy’s forehead. She plants a soft kiss there. Just as she pulls back, she hears a faint whine, followed by Wendy’s small voice.“Mommy.”Mia’s heart squeezes in her chest at the sound, and she can’t help but smile down at her daughter, who’s now blinking up at her with sleepy eyes. Wendy’s small hand grips Mia’s sleeve, holding her in place as if trying to pull he

MIA'S POVI can’t believe it. I’m standing here, staring at Eli, someone I haven’t seen in years. His presence feels surreal, as if I’m caught in some kind of dream. But he’s real, right in front of me. I've missed him so much. “Get in,” I tell him, gesturing toward my car.He hesitates for just a moment before nodding and climbing in. I slide in next to him. As soon as the door closes, the driver pulls away, and I see Eli checking out the interior. "This is your car?" he asks. "Yes. Nice, right?" "It's amazing. You've done really well for yourself, Mia" "Thanks. That means a lot, Eli" I turn to the driver "Please, take us to the nearest restaurant" "Yes ma'am" he replies. I turn my attention back to Eli with a smile. It’s been years. Years since I last saw him, and now, I’m willing to cancel my entire morning just to talk to him.By the time we reach the restaurant, I’ve made up my mind. Once we’re seated, I pull out my phone and dial Lily, my PA. Eli sits across from me with

MIA'S POVI walk into the house later that evening. My cheeks hurt from smiling so much. Spending the day with Eli after so many years felt surreal. We laughed until our stomachs ached, reminiscing about college pranks, secret crushes, and late-night adventures. Seeing him again reminded me of a version of myself I hadn’t connected with in years. A lighter, freer me.I open the door and step inside. It feels good to be home.As I move through the hallway, I glance at the doors leading to the various rooms. My hand grazes the wall. Then, as I pass Alexander’s room, I stop dead in my tracks.A tall, stunning woman steps out. Herdark hair cascades in waves down her back. She’s wearing a fitted dress that barely qualifies as clothing, and her bright red heels click against the floor. Alexander is right behind her with his hand resting lightly on her lower back as he walks her to the door.I freeze, my breath hitching in my throat."Thanks for stopping by," Alexander says. She turns to hi

ALEXANDER’S POVBefore the argument with Mia, I watched her from the corner of my eye as she talks to someone on the phone. Her faces lights up with a smile that makes my chest tighten. But it’s not aimed at me. It’s for him. Her voice is soft and teasing as she speaks into her phone, and I can hear just enough to piece it together.It’s James.That bastard.My jaw clenches so tightly it’s a wonder my teeth don’t shatter. I can’t stand the way she’s laughing. The way her fingers twist a strand of hair like she’s nervous, excited. Does she actually like him? That thought burns hotter than I expect, and I find myself gripping the edge of the wall.She doesn’t even notice me. I’m standing just out of her line of sight, close enough to hear her murmur, “See you soon,” before the call ends.Her smile lingers, and it feels like a punch to my face.After I have a word with her, I leave the room feeling more annoyed than I’ve felt in ages.The doorbell rings downstairs. I go to see who it is.

MIA’S POVAnother woman.I freeze in the hallway as the unfamiliar figure comes out from Alexander’s room. There’s a huge satisfied smile on her lips. She’s tall, with impeccably styled hair and an air of casual confidence. She adjusts her coat, throwing one last glance at his door before she goes down the staircase and disappears.I stare at the now-empty corridor. Anger heats up inside me as I clench my fists. It isn’t just the implication of what happened that enrages me—it’s the blatant openness of it. In this house, our house, and with Wendy, my daughter, just down the hall. Alexander was never like this before. At least, if he had his affairs, they were discreet. I never saw him openly with any women.But now? Now, it’s as if he no longer cares.I feel an ache in my chest at the sight of it all.When did this start? And why?It didn’t help that I loved him. Was it my fault for allowing myself to fall for him, for believing that beneath his cold exterior there was a man worth lov

JULIA’S POVI sit in the living room in silence, staring at the wall. My mind races with different thoughts. The Tv makes noise in front of me but I’m not paying attention to whatever program is on. My thoughts are too loud, too chaotic and they drown out everything else.Ever since that argument with Eric, I haven’t been myself. I can’t shake the feeling that something is wrong—off. He’s distant, and his words that night hinted at something deeper. I’ve suspected it for a while now, but after our fight, I knew I had to act.The memory of that night still lingers in my mind. We had been arguing again—about our relationship, about trust, about Mia. He denied everything, of course, but his avoidance, the way he refused to meet my eyes, said it all.I knew he wasn’t over her.If he was, he wouldn’t be so bothered about her. He was always deep in thought, staring into space, making phone calls he didn’t want me to hear. It was obvious.The bastard still loves her.Fuck.What does she have

MIA'S POV I try my best to let go of everythinf that has been happening but it's easier said than done. I even attend a charity gala just to get my mind off things. But if I knew things would go the way they would, I would have just stayed home. The crowd at the charity gala is filled with so much life. Everyone is dressed in their best outfits - the women wear elegant gowns with jewels and the men wear perfect suits. I'm dressed in a blue ball gown but I didn't bother too much with my outfit today. I have bigger things on my mind. I try my best to ignore my thoughts and fit in. My smile feels forced and my fingers clutch a flute of champagne I have no intention of drinking. The haunting events of the past few weeks have stolen my peace. The photograph I that was delivered to me still haunts me to this day. The threatening notes and the kitchen disaster where what looked like blood streaked the walls. Alexander has put his best men in charge of the investigation yet nothing has b

ALEXANDER’S POVI pace the length of my study and I can’t help the uneasy feeling inside my chest. The reports from the guards replay in my mind. They had found fresh footprints near the garden, leading up to Mia’s balcony. Surveillance cameras showing nothing. Nothing! How is that even possible?I’ve doubled the security around the property, but it’s not enough. It’s never enough. The thought of Julia or someone worse targeting Mia makes me worried. I can’t let anything happen to her or Wendy. They’re the most important people to me.“Sir,” a voice makes me look up. It’s my secretary. She walks in and holds out a manila folder “The latest report on Eric’s activities.”I snatch the folder and flip it open, scanning the contents. My stomach turns as I read the details. Eric’s been meeting with a private broker—one known for dealing in illegal surveillance equipment. My jaw tightens. This isn’t just petty meddling anymore. Eric has crossed a line. He’s a direct threat.Could he behind a

MIA’S POVThe office is silent except for the ticking of the clock. It’s late—later than I’d intended to stay, but throwing myself into work has become second nature. Numbers blur together on my screen, but I keep going.James’ face comes up in my memory like a ghost. He’s just away on a work trip, I remind myself for the hundredth time. That’s all it is. Yet, the ache in my chest refuses to fade. There’s a nagging feeling. I feel doubtful about it but I push it away.And then there’s Alexander. My chest tightens at the thought of him. Alexander, with his charm and those eyes that see right through me. He makes my heart race, but he’s made it clear what he wants: no strings, no promises, just… sex. I know I love him. But loving Alexander is like reaching for smoke. It hurts, and yet I can’t seem to stop.A sharp knock on the door startles me, pulling me from my thoughts. Gina peeks her head in, holding a small package.“This just arrived for you,” she says, walking in and placing it o

JULIA’S POVI sit at my desk, tapping a pen against the wood as I scroll through my phone for the hundredth time. Eric’s messages are dry. It seems like he doesn’t want to talk to me and he finds every excuse not to come home almost every night. I’ve tried to make plans, to reach out, but it’s like he’s avoiding me. He’s slipping away, and I can’t help but suspect the reason: Mia.The thought makes my jaw tighten. Ever since that damn auction, Eric’s been different. I remember the way he looked at Mia that night, like she was some rare piece of art he couldn’t take his eyes off. It’s nauseating. I’ve done everything—played every card but somehow, she’s still a threat.I grab my phone and try James again. It goes straight to voicemail, just like every other time. The last conversation we had replays in my mind. I had used the family angle, trying to sway him to betray Mia and make plans but he’d stood firm. James had refused to turn against Mia, claiming he wouldn’t betray her no matte

MIA’S POVI find myself in a dark place. It’s so dark that I can’t tell where I am. All I know is that the darkness stretches out for what feels like an eternity. It’s all I can see and feel.I look forward and that’s when my eyes land on him – James.I see him here in front of me. His mouth is tied so only muffled sounds come out from his lips. Blood pours out from his wounds, pooling beneath him. His eyes plead with me for help. I scream his name, trying to reach him, but I’m rooted to the spot, helpless. I can’t move, no matter how much I try to. The scene gets even more terrifying as his body goes limp. Instantly, the light fades from his eyes.I wake up with a loud scream and my body trembling. My whole body is drenched in sweat. My chest heaves up and down heavily. My heart is pounding as if it’s trying to escape my ribs. Before I can process anything, the door bursts open, and Alexander comes in with a gun in his hand.“Mia! What happened? Are you okay?” he demands, scanning th

ALEXANDER’S POVThe office feels suffocating. There’s a literal mountain of files on my desk. I lean back in my chair, massaging my temples, when Lily, my secretary, walks in. She’s wearing a blouse that’s unbuttoned just enough to make her intentions obvious, and as she bends down to place a file on my desk, her cleavage is practically on display.I roll my eyes. This isn’t the first time she’s pulled something like this.“Is there anything else you need, Mr. Alex?” she asks.“No” I say.She drops a file on the floor ‘accidentally’. She bends so that her ass faces me. Her skirt is lifted up and I can see her panties. At this point, I’m not even angry, I’m just irritated.She gets up and clears her throat “You’re sure there’s nothing you need, sir?”Without even looking up, I reply “No. And you’re fired.”There’s a stunned silence before she stammers, “W-what?”I finally meet her wide-eyed gaze “You heard me. Get out.”She hesitates for a moment. Her mouth opens and closes as if searc

ALEXANDER’S POVThe moment I see her smile, it feels like the world stands still. Mia looks radiant and it’s not just because of the soft golden light in the gallery. She’s holding the painting close. Her cheeks are flushed with excitement as she turns to me.“You bought it!” she exclaims.I nod. I can’t stop the smile that’s on my lips. “Of course, I did. It’s beautiful. Just like you.”She laughs. Before I know it, she’s wrapping her arms around me, again then she leans up to place a kiss on my cheek.“Thank you, Alexander,” she says “This means so much to me.”I shrug, playing it cool, but inside, it feels like I’m floating. “If it makes you happy, it’s worth it”It really is. I’d buy you a hundred more if it meant seeing that smile again.She pulls away and excuses herself, saying something about needing to use the bathroom.As she disappears down the hallway, I make my way to the bar. I need something to calm the emotions inside me. This wasn’t part of the plan. I’d convinced mys

MIA'S POVThe room is filled with excitement as the auctioneer taps the gavel, signaling the start of the auction. I clasp Alexander’s hand tightly. I'm so excited that I practically hop. He leans in close, whispering in my ear. “Relax, Mia,” he says with a chuckle. “It’s just an auction.”I smile at him "I can't help it" Across the room, I can feel Julia’s eyes on me. She glares at me so hard that I can feel it without even looking at her. I don’t have to look to know she’s watching.But, of course, I do look. I meet her gaze head-on, and for a moment, we’re locked. None of us is willing to back down. She arches her brow and if she has something to prove, she turns her attention to Eric.Eric.She wraps herself over him. Her arm slides possessively around his shoulders. Then, just to drive the point home, she presses her lips to his in a kiss.I laugh softly but Alexander hesrs it. “What’s so funny?” he asks. “Nothing,” I reply, but my gaze goes back to Eric. He’s stiff as a boa

The velvet red dress they’ve chosen clings to my body like a second skin. It’s high slit gives the dress a sexy look. Pearls adorn my neck, shining in the light. I complete the look with a pair of velvet gloves. "Perfect," one of the stylists murmurs, stepping back to admire their handiwork.I glance at my reflection and feel confident. Tonight, I am every inch the woman I need to be.I smile at my reflection. I won the merger and this auction is the perfect opportunity to celebrate.When I’m done getting dressed, I grab my purse and walk down the staircase. As I move, I hear the faint murmur of Alexander’s voice. He’s on his phone.
