MY EX PUT ME IN JAIL AND NOW HE WANTS ME BACK Chapter 24
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. Her neighborhood screams luxury. Expensive cars are parked in driveways, and the homes stand tall, radiating wealth. A mansion? How did Mia manage to build this kind of life for herself? A feeling of jealousy stabs at me, but I shove it down. I’m not here to compare lives. I’m here to make sure hers takes a sharp t

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

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

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

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

MIA’S POVThe night of the auction arrives, and I stand before the mirror as my glam team puts the finishing touches on my look. 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. The sound of my heels grab his attention.When his eyes lift to meet mine, the world seems to slow.Our gazes lock, and it’s as if nothing else exists in this moment. His blue eyes hold mine. I can see several emotions in them
