All Chapters of MY EX PUT ME IN JAIL AND NOW HE WANTS ME BACK: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

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

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

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

ALEXANDER’S POVI stand by the mansion’s gates. My frustration gets worse by the second. I stare at the open gates. The guards are missing, and the surveillance system is absent. My fists clench as I bark into my phone, pacing back and forth.“Get reinforcements here now!” I snap. “I want this property secured immediately.”The person on the other end stammers a response, but I don’t wait to hear the full reply. I end the call abruptly, shoving the phone into my pocket as my eyes scan the perimeter. Something’s off.Out of the corner of my eye, I spot Mia standing in the shadows near the side of the mansion. She’s hugging her arms to herself. My chest tightens at the sight of her worry.“Mia,” I say, making my way towards her.She looks up, startled, her wide eyes meeting mine. There’s something in her gaze that makes my heart twist—fear, something she’s trying to hide but failing at.Without thinking, I pull her into a hug, wrapping my arms around her small frame. She’s stiff at firs

ELI’S POVThe room is dark. The only light in the room comes from the orange glow of the streetlight through the blinds. I sit on the edge of the couch with my hands trembling. My eyes can’t look away from the bloodied saw resting on the coffee table. I should have thrown it away—should have left it to burn with the cabin. I burned the cabin after I was done. I should have thrown the saw inside. But no, I brought it back here. It’s here, in my apartment, staring at me, mocking me. The reality of what I’ve done crushes my chest, making every breath feel like it’s dragging pieces of glass through my lungs.James' voice echoes in my mind. I see him everywhere I go and I’m getting damn tired of it.“You thought you could win, didn’t you?” he sneers inside my head “You thought you could have Mia and get rid of me. Where is she now? Did you get her? You killed me for nothing, you know. You dumb ass. I’m dead and still, you can’t get the girl. She barely knows you exist. What does that tell
