MY EX PUT ME IN JAIL AND NOW HE WANTS ME BACK Chapter 23
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

JULIA’S POVI sit on the edge of my bed with my hands clenched tightly in my lap. The investigator’s words replay in my head on an endless loop.He tried to talk to her. He waited for her attention.The pictures Paul sent are still on my phone, mocking me from the bedside table. Eric and Mia—together. He didn’t even try to hide it.I breathe in deeply, trying to calm the fury boiling inside me, but it’s useless. My chest tightens, and my jaw aches from clenching my teeth so hard. How dare he? After everything I’ve done, after everything I’ve sacrificed, he has the audacity to go crawling back to her?A bitter laugh escapes me as I pace the room. I can’t let this slide. If I do, I know exactly what will happen. Eric will weasel his way back into Mia’s good graces. He’ll play the remorseful ex. He’ll go back to her to apologize and grovel, telling her it was all a mistake. And Mia—naive, pathetic Mia might actually believe him. She’d take him back, and then where would I be?Divorced.T

JULIA’S POVI step out of the house with a hooded jacket hiding my features. My heart races, though I keep my breaths steady. This has to be perfect. Earlier, I instructed Paul to find Mia’s address, and he delivered. Now, I’m going to put my plan into motion.Eric isn’t home, which is convenient. I need this to happen without interruptions. Slipping into my disguise, I pull on a worn wig with strands falling over my face, then dress in old, ragged clothes that I wouldn’t be caught dead in on a normal day. I cut small holes into them for extra effect.. My reflection in the mirror earlier was unrecognizable, just as I intended.When I arrive at Mia’s estate, I’m taken aback.

ALEXANDER’S POVDaniel’s words replay over and over in my mind."They’re cousins.""She seemed upset. He was comforting her."Cousins. Julia and James. I can’t ignore the knot forming in my stomach. Julia has always been a thorn in Mia’s side. And James? He’s slipped too easily into Mia’s life. It’s all too perfect, too coincidental.Then there’s Mia’s accident. It wasn’t an accident. I know that much. And now, I can’t shake the thought that James might have had a hand in it. Maybe Julia’s pulling his strings, or maybe he’s been her partner all along. Either way, Mia is in the middle of it.I grit my teeth in frustration. My fist clenches as I think about Mia, about how easily she gives her trust. She deserves better than this. Better than him. If I don’t act now, she’ll walk straight into a trap.Immediately, I head down the hall toward her room. When I get to her door, I knock twice, then push the door open."Mia?" I call, stepping inside. My eyes land on her instantly.She’s on the

THIRD PERSON’S POVThe morning feels crisp against the skin, the kind of weather that feels just slightly too cool for comfort. Daniel sits in his car, sipping coffee from a cheap paper cup and watching the entrance of the office building across the street. It’s been three days of this routine: watching James, cataloging his movements, and reporting back to Alexander.At first, Daniel thought this assignment would be straightforward. Alexander’s suspicions about James ran deep, and Daniel was prepared to uncover James’ secrets—anything that might justify the fact that Mia’s car crash was orchestrated by James. But so far, James has been maddeningly… normal. Almost boringly so.The man wakes up early, keeps to himself, and spends long hours at the office. In the evenings, he returns home, picks up takeout or cooks something simple, and retires for the night. No hidden meetings. No secretive phone calls. Nothing suspicious at all.By the time the third day rolls around, Daniel begins to

ALEXANDER’S POVMy mind is in different places as I step out of Mia’s hospital room. My phone is already pressed to my ear. I know I’ve called my investigator before but I have the urge to call him again. When the line connects, I waste no time.“I want you to start with James,” I say “The guy Mia was with at the event. The same one who took her out yesterday. Watch him closely, follow his movements, and find out everything about him.”“Yes, sir. I’ll update you as soon as I have something,” the investigator responds.“Good. I don’t want any delays,” I say before ending the call and shoving the phone into my pocket.As I re-enter Mia’s room, I force myself to calm down. She’s sitting up now. Her wide eyes stare at me in confusion. I pull up a chair and sit beside her again.“You’re still worrying, aren’t you?” she asks softly.I let out a small huff, leaning forward “You’ve been in an accident, Mia. I think I’m allowed to worry.”“I’m fine,” she insists, though the way her hand trembl

ALEXANDER’S POVThe sound of my phone vibrating on the desk draws my attention away from the pile of papers scattered in front of me. I look at the screen and see Mia's name flashing. A soft smile tugs at my lips. She rarely calls during the day, but I’m caught in the middle of a heated meeting with the board.I silence the call and silently promise to call her back the moment this is over.By the time the meeting ends, my mind is already on her. I pull my phone from my pocket, surprised to see not just one, but several missed calls from her. That’s unlike her. I can’t help but feel a bit worried. I hit redial, but the call goes unanswered.I frown. Maybe she’s busy, I tell myself. She’ll call back when she can.Minutes pass and my worry only grows. I’m about to call her again when my phone rings. It’s a number from the house."Hello?" I answer quickly.“Sir,” the voice on the other end is shaky. It’s one of the maids. “It’s about Madam Mia… She’s been in an accident.”The words hit m

MIA'S POVAnother day, another set of responsibilities. After dressing up, I look over at Wendy, sitting cross-legged on the couch with focus as she colors in her notebook.“Wendy,” I call softly. She looks up and her wide eyes meet mine.“Yes, mummy?”I kneel in front of her, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “I’m heading out now, but I want you to remember something very important.”She tilts her head “What is it?”“I love you,” I whisper “More than anything in this world. Don’t ever forget that.”She beams, wrapping her little arms around my neck. “I love you too, mum. Always.”The hug lasts longer than usual, and when I finally pull away, there’s a feeling of unease in my chest. I shake it off. I have no idea why I feel like this. It’s just another day, after all. Nothing to worry about.“Be good for Maria, okay?” I say, referring to the housekeeper.“I will. Promise.”I give her one last kiss on the forehead and head outside. The Range Rover stands in the driveway, and t
