All Chapters of Marrying My Ex for the Show: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Josalyn awoke early the next morning. They both did. A lot needed to happen. She saw nothing at the event space. Josalyn and Jake took everything at face value about the setup. The Studio’s Handler ordered them not to worry, and all but said they needed to mind their business. Josalyn had no words when Jake arrived after the stylists departed. He appeared shocked to see Josalyn without her wig. Her short, dark hair was not what he expected to see, and it had thrown him off. Jake almost ejected him from the premises. No one among the hair, makeup, or wardrobe people had blinked an eye. Josalyn felt sure they’d seen and worked with far worse. The Studio’s Handler, however, only worked with the finished products, not beginnings. However, Jake loved her as she was, and he felt protective of her feelings. She needed to get comfortable with something, as she felt he did it to appease her, but it wasn’t true. Jake didn’t appreciate her menti

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

“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

“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

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
