Darcey Silvawas less than thrilled when her ex-fiancéGeorgi Rusevmade a surprise visit to Miami.
The90 Day Fiancéalum, 48, exclusively tells PEOPLE her mindset had changed since the pair’s second engagement ended last year — and she was ready to move on.
“At the time, I was already with the matchmaker,” she shares. “I was already set within myself, confident, and I wasn’t going to let the past get to me.”
“I felt I was in my power position. I felt okay with how the past went and where the future was going for myself,” she explains. “I feel like it was a little bit of a low blow on his end. I think he had ulterior motives.”

When he tried to continue the conversation, she told him to “get away from me.”
He insisted, “I came here because I care about you. I don’t come here to cause problems … I’m not here to manipulate you. I’m here becauseI love you.”
She finally put the nail in the coffin, telling him, “I’m sorry. It’s done.”
Darcey opened up to PEOPLE about why her relationships with exes Georgi andJesse Meester"are in the past for a reason."
“I made the right decision for me, for my daughters,” she says of her daughters Aniko, 17, and Aspen, 15. “I want them to see me empowered and strong and in a loving, happy, strong relationship.”
Darcey says she wants to set an example for her teenage daughters “because they’re going to be dating at some point.”
“I want to be the best mom I can be. I want to be the best woman I could be,” she shares. “I want to have the best partner. I want to be in a power couple, and I don’t want anyone to ever dumb me down.”
“I feel so much stronger, I feel more independent, and I love the way that my life is going,” she adds. “I don’t have any regrets, and I’m really excited [about] what the future holds.”
