Marrying My Ex for the Show CHAPTER 84- THE INTERRUPTION OF THE RECEPTION-JAKE & JOSALYN
Josalyn and several cast members were doing their thing. Makeup artists, costumers, and assistants scramble to prepare for the imminent camera event. Their rehearsal was their private event, where the legal binding would take place. They would later have a second wedding for the cameras, featured in a show special. Josalyn couldn’t understand why the Studio expected people to flock to see her wedding. The director and producer visited Josalyn and Jake to share surprises. That would arrive any minute. They believed they’d found the perfect surprise for everyone. One surprise for Jake and the other for Josalyn. Both men agreed that the potential upset would benefit them and others. Josalyn reminded them that this wasn’t in their contract. They were close to giving up on their contract because of this. She couldn’t believe the lengths they went to keep the secrecy from everyone else. They only told Josalyn that she wouldn’t need anyone to

“Exactly. You couldn’t become an actor if you were in the witness protection program. Nor could you leave or re-enter the program as you like. The program is not active and difficult to enter. There’s no one watching you if we’re being honest. How’s that protection for you? I’m sorry Rebecca. You’ve based your life on a lie. It’s not your fault. No one stopped to tell a child she’s the victim.” Jake said. He pointed out several large gaping holes in the story Josalyn remembered. Jake added to the context of the doubts Josalyn experienced toward the events and timeline she recalled. He leaned forward on the edge of the comfortable chair with his elbow resting on his knees. “Is that why my mother, or stepmother knew nothing about the celiac disease? How do you know abut this Nunzio? Why would you have all this information?” Josalyn felt something in her memory click. Her mother always expressed annoyance when she became ill. She’d resisted taking Josalyn to the

“I can’t believe this. No one asked if I wanted this. I can’t. I don’t know him. Everything I know about him comes from my mother or some rumor or news article on the internet. How am I supposed to trust him? This is insane. How could the Studio do this, Jake. Please tell me to my face, you knew nothing.” Josalyn said. She’d dragged him into the adjoining bathroom and slammed the door closed behind them. Her eyes were frantic as she struggled to explain why she didn’t want to appear in the same room as her father. “I’m within minutes of firing another agent, Josalyn. No, I knew nothing. Nunzio kept silent. I thought I could trust him, and he came up with excellent recommendations. I thought I had someone who would understand I wanted a life with you. Not some existence where you couldn’t trust me. I don’t what to believe.” Jake said. He assured her he felt as strongly as she did. He felt the Studio had set them up. That the Studio had orchestrated a disaster to
Marrying My Ex for the Show CHAPTER 87- THE DISCUSSION-EDWARD AND JOSALYN
“No one could say it’s love. I loved your mother. I married her to avoid a war between her family and ours. Of course, I fooled myself into believing that would stop them. Instead, I ended up with a complicated mess within a year of our marriage, and a jail sentence for something I had no part in. They thought I didn’t have protection in place for my business dealings. Their attempts failed. She fled while her family fought for an elusive goal.” “No one has told me who her family is.” “Oh, my sweet child. You have been fighting with them this entire time.” “What do you mean?” “Your stepmother is first cousins with Gena D’Ore’s uncle. Gena is her niece.” “Gena is my step cousin. Are you sure? No one ever told me or introduced me to them.” Josalyn could not believe this news. No wonder Gena despised her. She looked at her life compared to Gena’s and how Gena felt entitled to everything. She had so much already. Whil
Marrying My Ex for the Show CHAPTER 88- THE FIRST WEDDING-JAKE
“Yeah, I made sure, he’s going through a messy divorce right about now. I don’t know how much longer Gena will keep him around. Josalyn, you weren’t family to them. They keep it in the family. I hope your departure from that family went well. If you’d left them later, they may have pressured you into a loveless marriage with one of their lesser valued members to keep you away from your family forever. That would have tied our lives to theirs which now I see is worse than the kiss of death.” Josalyn blinked at this response, and Jake took her hand. “Okay, I think we’ve held up this wedding long enough. Please put on your dress, love, and we’ll ensure that they can’t stop us.” “Yeah, right. Fine. Let’s make this happen. Surprises and all. Later, we can sort this out.” Josalyn still appeared numbed from the surprise and flood of information her father gave her. His candor was not something she’d prepared for. The schedule was getting tight
Marrying My Ex for the Show CHAPTER 89- EVERYTHING CRUMBLES FOR GENA-GENA & YURI
Gena couldn’t believe the nerves of Rebecca and Everett. To get married and do it in the middle of nowhere after her announcement. After the attack on her. No one knew who attacked her, but she suspected Paulo’s wife. Bernie, his wife, had made a scene with her three brats at a restaurant. They were enjoying brunch with mimosas when she barged in and made a scene. She hoped the world would see Rebecca as a horrible scum who was cold and unfeeling for her and her precious cargo. She hated having to carry this brat. What was she supposed to do with her brat? If she managed to separate Everett from Rebecca using this troublesome child. It would justify all the surgical procedures she would undergo to regain her figure. She had a bone to pick with Everett for the announcement he allowed his agent to release that contracted her announcement. Gena now worked to get the entertainment podcaster off the internet after pointing out the fact Everett was in the photo watch
Marrying My Ex for the Show CHAPTER 90-PLANS WITHIN PLANS-YURI
Yuri learned early in life; he might not like it when plans changed. But some changes were beneficial. Here, Yuri’s living situation would get a glow up. He might not ruin Gena as he’d planned for a few years, as she’d be useful in several ways. He’d at first wanted to use her to improve his career while enjoying ruining her for anyone else. Maybe she’d disappear too. But with her uncle’s notice, Yuri could become a made man. Alberto was a protective uncle, oddly to Gena. Punishing her was at her uncle’s whim, and Yuri learned he didn’t do it at the wrong time. In fact, the man approved of Yuri disciplining Gena. Alberto liked the idea of Yuri dominating Gena and using any means necessary to shut her up. They had no intention of ruining Rebecca’s and Everett’s wedding. Alberto wanted to confront a rival of his. Someone he believed he’d destroyed long ago but had resurfaced a few days ago. He must now handle it before certain facts enter the public knowledge and
Marrying My Ex for the Show CHAPTER 91-THE CEREMONY’S END-JOSALYN AND JAKE
With the vows exchanged, Josalyn tried to keep the flow going. Her head throbbed, signaling that today was overwhelming. She’d pay for it in the end. That’s part of what she hated. This wasn’t something she could predict or prevent. No one around her understood. She sought a calm space for a brief rest. She had not had that for hours. “Okay, everyone. That’s the last signature! We’re officially married again! At least, off stage.” Which set off a laugh throughout the gathering. The people there had a long day. Let’s set up again. Then we’ll do a second run through. This time we’ll record the ceremony part for the special program. So, this will be a dramatic ceremony. We want to catch comments and gossip. So, guess and give our viewers something to sink their teeth into. Just remember. Rebecca and Everett are perfect for one another. Several of you have cues to base your gossip off of. We want those out there.” Rebecca rolled her eyes at this. They w

Marrying My Ex for the Show CHAPTER 106-CONCLUSION
“I lost our first baby. It’s my fault Everett didn’t know about it. I didn’t tell him because it would’ve killed him and I feared he’d think I was using it as an excuse to cling to him. If I told him he’d want to know why it happened and then blame me for it. I was too tired from losing the baby that I’ve agreed to almost anything. Mentioning pregnancy, I indeed recall feeling the same way before. Rebecca leaned against the door jamb and gave a heavy sigh. Hopefully, this time yields better results. Can’t do it again.” “Then I’ll go call them now and see if I can catch the receptionist before she leaves for lunch. I hope it’s a baby and nothing bad.” Jill left the dressing room and the other to speak between themselves. “A baby…” Rebecca sounded like she was stunned. “Oh, good grief. I hope the doctor was correct when he told you I could still have children.” “We’ll find out soon enough.”(SEVEN MONTHS LATER- MERCY GENERAL HOSPITAL, LABOR, AND DELIVE
Marrying My Ex for the Show CHAPTER 105-A FUTURE STARTS WITH A NEW GENERATION-REBECCA
“Are you alright love? Should I call your doctor for an appointment?” Everett asked Rebecca when she left the bathroom of the dressing room they now shared at work. He looked at her with concern in his eyes. “I don’t know. I’m nauseous but there’s no pain. “Perhaps I’m coming down with something,” Rebecca said, her pale face lacking its usual smile. “This will pass soon too.” “Perhaps we should secure the appointment now, rather than later. We’ll play it safe and catch whatever it is early. Why don’t you go sit down and relax? I know our lunch will arrive at the set soon. Then we can enjoy it and see how you’re feeling.” “The truth is I’m a little tired and nauseous. That’s it. No headaches, no pain, or weakness. There’re no mystery rashes, and my breathing is fine. I can’t find even a simple mystery bruise, and no strange bouts of acne. My hair isn’t falling out like it was, at least not yet.” “Can we sit and list your exper
Marrying My Ex for the Show CHAPTER 104-A SURPRISE FOR EDWARD-EDWARD
Coming out of the interview with Everett, Josalyn sat down an hour later with the man she knew was her father. She’d spent hours researching stories and coming up with questions. The writers added questions to the lists well in advance. The questions went through the Studio’s legal department and her father’s legal team went through them as well. It became a lengthy-drawn-out process because of all the legal complications. Everett insisted on staying with her for support and sat in the dark shadows off to the side, away from the cameras, watching everything. He’d become protective and a little obsessive of Rebecca, but at this point she didn’t mind so much. Rebecca still basked in his attention and his attention hadn’t become intrusive yet in her eyes. Something had changed and Rebecca knew that. Her father sat there and shifted in his seat. He didn’t appear comfortable, and she’d not hesitate to say he appeared nervous. She attributed it to his pri
Marrying My Ex for the Show CHAPTER 103-THE INTERVIEW WITH REBECCA AND EVERETT-REBECCA
(SIX WEEKS AFTER THEIR WEDDING) Everett took a seat beside Rebecca on a sound stage. He took her hand in his and gave it a squeeze. Then his smile changed from the genuine one he gave her to the smile he’s known for when he looked at the interviewer. This was their explanation of events. Legal advice urged them to take a preemptive measure to defend against Gena’s potential slander. “Thank you for being here Mr. Stone and Ms. Jones.” Ken Douglas said to them as he settled into his own seat after greeting them. The cameras were rolling and picking up everything. “Thank you, Mr. Douglas. But it’s Mrs. Stone now.” Everett said to Ken. He corrected the interviewer before Rebecca could. “Oh, I’m sorry I didn’t realize you changed your name.” Ken Douglas looked at his notes, already off kilter with this interview. “It’s a recent development. My wife and I decided it would better reflect our leaving the past in the past.
Marrying My Ex for the Show CHAPTER 102-EVERETT’S BIG RETURN-EVERETT AND REBECCA
“Morning, everyone. Thank you for settling down so quickly. Let’s start immediately. I’m afraid we have had several events in the past few weeks and several rather disturbing events last night.” Surprisingly, the Studio handler, who never attended a meeting like this before, assumed control. He let the comments and surprises fill the room. “It’s with a heavy heart that I must tell everyone that Yuri will not return to the set as he and his driver were found early yesterday morning dead in their cell. The cause of their deaths isn’t known, but suicide has not been ruled out yet.”Shock spread among everyone, including Josalyn. Though she knew the reputation of Gena’s family and two suicides this early didn’t sound right to her. Gena’s family had conflicting feelings about the women in their family. Hurting their own women was one thing, but an outsider doing so was another. Then there’s the baby. She wondered if they could have killed Yuri not for harming Gena, but for caus
Marrying My Ex for the Show CHAPTER 101-REBECCA’S RETURN-JOSALYN
They had two weeks for their honeymoon. Jake promised to arrange for something better later. He wouldn’t tell her where they’d go. It would be a surprise. He believes it’s important to be nearby for her health since her recent injuries stopped her from doing physical activities in a foreign country. If something happened, he didn’t trust the medical system of a foreign nation. Jake let her decide if she would show up at the studios without her wig. It’s odd to see the reaction she received when they arrived at the gate this morning. “Well, here we go.” Jake’s choice of driver eased their way through security and fans. They’d been lying in wait for them. Nunzio and Ben, both warned them that there’d been clashes between two groups of fans. One group supported their marriage, and a second group opposed it. “Yeah, I wonder what they’ll do when they learn we were married before this.” Josalyn asked Jake, “What they would make of that?” Their
Marrying My Ex for the Show CHAPTER 100-A DAY WITH JOCALYN-JAKE
Jake and Josalyn relaxed and enjoyed their usual activities at the cottage. Without the crowd of friends, of course. This time they weren’t window shopping for antiques. They could go through the shops and buy whatever they wanted. Though Jake found Josalyn hesitant to use his money. He couldn’t risk lowering his guard. He had to watch her to see what caught her eye and then ensure that he purchased it. These pieces weren’t for the cottage, but for their city house. Once they completed the renovations, they needed to refurnish the entire house. They needed everything from the floorboards to the ceiling. They won’t understand everything right away, but they can start. Afterwards, he would hire a professional to finish the space. “Jake, over here. Look at this. I love these cabinets; wouldn’t they make perfect nightstands for the master bedroom?” “Found a blanket box bench over there. Place it at the bed’s foot. It’s not just a box but has several dra
Marrying My Ex for the Show CHAPTER 99-JOSALYN ACCEPTS HER NEW REALITY-JOSALYN
The next morning, they ate their breakfast on the back deck overlooking the lake and enjoyed the silence of nature as the sun rose. Josalyn forgot the joy of sitting without worrying about schedules, scripts, or getting through the day. Jake’s presence was soothing rather than grating on her nerves. She viewed him differently last night, absorbing new information about her long-held experiences. Her fears were unfounded sometimes and in others she found herself exposed to far too much. This time, when she tried to bring up the problems, Jake stood with her, and they formed a consensus. With that consensus came a plan. The plan’s activation is uncertain, but it would provide clarity to the public. They agreed not to involve the Studio’s PR handler. They’d handle it alone and let the chips fall where they may. She came clean about her finances and today they’d hand them to Jake’s family’s accounting firm and allow them to sort out her debts. Jake wasn
Marrying My Ex for the Show CHAPTER 98-HONEYMOON NIGHT-JOSALYN
Josalyn lay on their bed at Jake’s teasing mercy. His hungry gazed followed his hands, and he toyed with her body. He’d just told her he wanted to see her orgasm before he satisfied himself. Then, without missing a beat, his fingers found her depths and thrust into her core, searching for that spot that would send her spiraling out of control. Her breath became heavy. “I want to share this pleasure with you. Let me touch you, Jake.” “Later. Now focus on what I’m doing and enjoy it. Breathe and focus. His other hands slid along her inner thighs with gentle caresses that left her thighs shaking and her mind forgetting to breathe. Along with her rich moans, the room filled with the slick sound of his fingers thrusting in and out of her. Josalyn knew he loved to hear what his actions did to her body. “Jake, oh god. Please I want to touch you.” “You know the rules love. I want to start tonight off right. Come on my hand. Show me h
