Madison's P. O. V
The next morning, I woke up with a severe hangover. Ahh, my aching head. I am never getting drunk again. I don't remember anything that happened last night. Not only that, but I just hope that I made it home after what Gabriel confessed to me.I tried to get up, but I was still dizzy from drinking too much. I lay back down and waited for my head to stop spinning.Then I see that I'm on a nice, comfy couch. A couch what the hell, why am I on a couch? Oh well, I must have fallen asleep on a couch in the hotel room to sleep because of the alcohol. That is when I decided to stretch to ease my body of some tension. As I am stretching, I feel this hard body next to me. Then I look and see that there is a man behind me with his arm around my waist on top of a blanket.Then I take a look under the blanket and notice that I am naked. As I got up, I noticed what, I thought, was a hotel room in Gabriel's office. Oh my god! What did I do last night? His office is a wreck. There is paper everywhere, our wedding picture is smashed into pieces from the frame that it was in. My clothes are strewn all over the floor.I tapped the man behind me and asked him who he was, How did we end up here? Do you remember anything, he asks me? No, I don't remember a damn thing. All I know is that I wake up with a blinding headache, and then I see you next to me.You and your friend, what was her name? Yes, she said her name was Sally. You had a couple of beers and, in your drunken state, you said.Sally, why don't you go home? I'm confident that your husband is waiting for you, unlike mine, who is probably screwing his secretary right now as we speak.“Are you certain?”“I could stay a little longer if it suits you”, Sally said worriedly.“No, it's alright, you go home to your husband and start working on making me goddaughters and godsons”, I winked at my curvy best friend, and she blushed.“Besides, I can always take an Uber home if I need to, and I will pick my car up from your house in the morning”, I said, clearing her doubts.“Alright, sweetie, I will see you in the morning”, Sally said after kissing my cheeks.“You bet your ass you will.”“Now go and make those babies”. I said, and watched my friend's ass as she walked out of the bar. That her husband will be enjoying it, unlike me. “I asked you a question, Why do you seem so down in the dumps?”“I'd rather not talk about it”, I shoved him off“Alright then”, he walks away.You want to know, fine I will tell you, my husband slept with his secretary. “Oh wow, that is bad.”“Want to know what is even worse?” “What?”“She is pregnant with his child”.“My goodness, it is no wonder you are drowning your sorrows right now”.“Yep, that is why I am here to make the pain go away. Although I knew it wouldn't“You know I could help you with that pain”, Leon raises his eyebrows suggestively,How can you help me with my pain? ”curiosity is getting to be a part of me.“I get off at 10 pm and want you to join me in touring around town”, he offered.“Yes, we could do that and go to my husband's office and see what work he has done there.”“Maybe screw with a few of the projects that he is working on”, smiling evilly at the thought of revenge. Hahahahaha“I can show you where the company that he owns is too”.“What company does he own?”“He owns Matthews Biotech Engineering”.“That is your husband's company, and you want to ruin him for sleeping with his secretary”.“Yes, I undeniably do want to do that”.“Then we should go for it, that will teach him not to hurt a woman”, Leon said, balling his fists ever ready.Gabriel's company always has guards, so we have to be extra careful and wait for them to switch shifts. The moment they do and nobody is looking, we go in. We hurried to the side door and luckily for me, I had snuck my husband's keyboard from his wallet. I slide the card, and we go inside, heading to his office.Once we were inside his office, I saw a picture of our wedding photo on his desk. I pick it up, look at it, and then throw it on the ground with the glass breaking. You won't need that anymore, will you? I looked around some more, going through all his drawers, and messing with his files more like rearranging it. Now let's see if you can find what you're looking for, my darling hubby, with these files all rearranged.“Are you certain that this is a good idea?”“Well, Leon, do you know how it feels when you discover that your husband of five years has been unfaithful to you?” I turned to face him.“No, I am afraid that I don't know what that feels like.” Then, believe me, you don't want to know if you haven't been married before. It hurts so bad feels like my heart was removed with scissors and dipped into acid“I just want to scream, you know, let it all out. If I do scream, I will alert security”, I said, frustrated.“How about you scream into my chest?”“That way, you get it out and security won't be alerted”, he opened his arms inviting me.I screamed into Leon's chest and let everything within me out. He is standing there holding me, rubbing my back as I scream.I feel him grab my chin and ask me if I feel better now that I have let it all out.“Yes, I do” and there I am looking into the most beautiful hazel eyes I have ever seen. He looks at me and I feel my heart beating fast, then he slowly leans his head and kisses me softly on my lips. I never felt a kiss so sweet and tender.We moved to the couch in my husband's office. He lays me down ever so gently, and we start making out right there. It was as if I felt all the hurt going away for a bit. He made me feel wanted and worth something. This man made me feel like a woman. We kept going at it too, I knew that I was drunk, but I would rather not stop either. I felt his hands go under my shirt, caressing my back, and could feel myself getting turned on. What am I doing? This wasn't right, so I pushed Leon off me.“I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me.”“I'm just really hurt by what my husband did, I turned away from him a bit ashamed.”“It's fine you were hurting, and I would rather not take advantage of someone who is hurting”.Nope, forget it, that is when I grabbed him and kissed him again and this time I knew what I was doing.“Are you certain about this?”“Shut up and go with the flow”, prompting him to kiss me harder.We were going at it once again and this time I did not stop him nor did I stop myself. It was time that I had a little fun of my own. In other words, you wanted revenge for sleeping with his secretary. That is why our clothes are all over the floor. You had asked me, “Do you have protection?” What if I told you that “I always carry protection with me.” I had put the protection on, and we were doing it right here in your husband's office, on the desk, up against the wall, and on this couch. You said for me to keep going, not to stop because it felt so good that you wanted more. We went for a few more rounds, then fell asleep and held you tight after our romp. That is how we ended up here in your husband's office.What they didn't know was while they were sleeping in Gabriel's office on his couch. That he was standing there at his office door. He was looking at Maddison as if he finally felt guilty of what he did. He had no idea that she would go to this length to get back at him for sleeping with his secretary. Gabriel decided to leave and go home. When he got home, the lights were still on. He decided to turn the lights out, then sat there and waited for Maddison to get home.Gabriel's P.O.V.Seeing her slam the door so hard, my heart sank. I have never seen Maddie in this state before. Oh right, I cheated. What did I expect? I went to the sofa and sat trying to think of a way to reverse this, though impossible. I still had to try “What did I do?” “Why did I have to sleep with Emily, my secretary?” asking questions I already had the answer to. I know why she was there; I was feeling down about Maddison waiting to have kids. Emily said, if she were my wife, she wouldn’t make me wait. Sleeping with her this past year was a good idea, and it did make me feel better for a while, I had to admit. Then Maddison found out and now everything has gone to hell in a handbasket, and it is all my fault. I don’t even know if I can fix it or if she will ever forgive me. I had to find a way to get her to forgive me, even if I had to crawl on my knees. Not only that, but I decided to head home after waking up to Leon, the bar owner. Whom I slept with in Gabriel’s off
I decided to give this counseling thing a try for the sake of our marriage. We were going at least once a week and doing the exercises the marriage counselor had suggested. However I kept thinking to myself, can I really trust him again? What if he decides to have another office affair? Tell me what would you do in my situation? To answer my own question it is no. I don't think I will be able to trust him again.So, I decided to make dinner one last time and set the table. I hear Gabriel come in, then I tell him to come into the dining room and sit down. Hmmm, something smells good honey. I made your favorite pot roast with vegetables. Oh! wow thank you honey. What is the occasion? Nothing really, I just wanted to talk to you. Okay, what is this about?I have made a decision when it comes to our marriage. I could tell that he was getting nervous. What decision might that be? This marriage counseling is not working and I have been doing some thinking. Now I want a divorce. “Can't we f
After my divorce, I wanted to keep the house, but I decided to sell it and Gabriel and I could split the profits. There were just too many memories and I wanted a fresh start, so I decided to start looking for a nursing job in a different city and state. It took about six months for the house to sell. During those six months, I was offered a job. I needed to leave this godforsaken town and have a fresh, brand-new start. Then I got that call from Dayton Community Women's Clinic here in Ohio with great pay and excellent benefits. I don't start my new job until next week. Now I am in my hotel room wondering if I should order in or go out to eat. Then I decided, heck, why not go out to eat? Now here I am driving around town in a new city looking for the best place to eat. I googled the nearest restaurant to the hotel I was staying at, it was about a thirty-minute drive. The restaurant is called Flow. From what I read, it got 4.5 stars out of 5. Now that is a place I would like to go to
When I arrived at the restaurant, Flow at 7:00 p.m. I'm greeted by the same hostess with a smile who sat at a table the first time I was here. Desmond has been waiting for you, she says. He has reserved a table just for you, Ms. Wong. Oh, I say, how kind of him to do that. She takes me back to a small area, which, I assume, is for the VIPs. I take a seat and the hostess leaves, but I never did quite catch her name either. She comes back with a glass of red wine and a seafood appetizer. Excuse me I say, I don't mean to be rude, but can I get your name, please? My name is Izzy, she says. Is it short for Isabella and she replies yes? Well, nice to meet you, Izzy.Then I tell her that she is doing a fantastic job as a hostess. Thank you, is there anything else that I can get you? No, not right at this moment. Alright, just let me know I will be your server as well tonight since we're short on staff. I'll be right back with your food, better yet, Mr. Greene will bring the food out to you h
The date with Desmond went wonderful, which I was not expecting to happen. However, I kept thinking in my mind. Why does he look so familiar to me? That was when I asked him do we knew each other somehow. You must night remember me, you got wasted at my bar. Then you hit on me and said that you didn’t want to go home. You said that you wanted to forget the pain. Anyway, that is all over now. I am never drinking that much again. The following morning I got up and got ready for work at the Dayton Community Hospital. It seemed very affordable for the patients. The kind of hospital where patients don’t have to worry about having medical insurance. I walked in and looked for signs that pointed me toward the Human Resources Department. Once I found the signs, I followed them and went in. There standing at the desk was the most gorgeous man I had ever seen. He was tall, with tan skin, beautiful caramel brown eyes, and muscles that you would want to run your hands over. Hello, I say, I’m M
I knew that I should have immediately said no when I came out of his office when he asked me to think about having lunch with him. What harm could there be, right? He just wants to talk about my job duties. Well, I will give him an answer after my rounds. Anyway, I am so excited to be starting my class tonight. The class that I will be taking tonight is a creative writing class. Writing is a little hobby of mine; it is just something that I always loved to do. Where I can express all my feelings. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I will be taking the class at Dayton Community College, and it starts at 6 p.m. Therefore, if I want to make it on time to the class, I have to either request those days off or take a different shift. Today was the first day of class, so I decided to leave a little early today from work just in case there was traffic to work, but I wanted to stop by Starbucks to get a little something to eat. Now, when I registered for this class, I heard that the Professor was v
After getting dressed for my first real date with Desmond. I made sure to look in the mirror to see how good I looked. I have to say that I am looking pretty darn sexy. Desmond will be blown away. After the date, we will come back to the place for a nightcap. I arrived at his restaurant Flow since he said that he had to work for a little bit, and then we would start our date. I said and waited for him at the bar and ordered myself a drink as well. Twenty minutes go by and I get a tap on my shoulder. I turn around there is Desmond standing there with his fine-ass self. You look gorgeous in that dress Maddison. Thank you and you don’t look bad yourself. Shall we both go ahead to our table? Desmond leads me to a table in the corner where it says private VIP. It even has curtains so no one can look in. I had the liberty of preparing our dinner myself. It looks and smells so delicious I say to him. This is surely a private table I told him. Are you expecting something to happen tonight?
Throughout dinner, Michael and I had a lovely conversation while eating after the waitress had given us our orders. We shared everything that we could think of. I have to say that my professor is brilliant. He has a great sense of humor too; I would have to admit. Our conversation kept going, and we just enjoyed each other’s company. That was until the waitress came over and told me that they were closing in ten minutes. Michael said, can I have the check, please? Becky, that is the waitress's name, which I saw on her name tag. Alright, I will be right back with it. We continued our conversation until she came back. Becky came back with the check and paid as we were leaving. When he was walking me to my car. I kept imagining what it would be like just to have his lips on mine. What would it feel like to have his hands caressing my body? Shaking my head, Maddison, stop fantasizing he is your professor. It was just dinner, and it is not as if he is into you. Maddison, Madison I hear
The person's throat cleared again, and then everyone turned around. I could not believe it with my very own eyes was my ex-husband, Gabriel. How did he find us? He was not even supposed to be here. I thought he would be somewhere drowning his sorrows. This man has been grieving ever since he lost his baby boy. Jason and Sandy looked shocked, just as I am. Looking at him now, though, I see that he is better. I cannot help but feel that something is off about him. It makes me uneasy that he is here. What is he doing here? Sandy asked me. I have no idea why he is here. More importantly, though, how did he know where I was? Gabriel walks up to me to offer me congratulations on the gender reveal. Well, Shame, it looks as if you will be a girl dad. I want to offer my deepest condolences. Why are you condescending, arrogant, and selfish, man? How dare you say something such as that? Shane will make a great girl dad. He will be their provider and protector to congratulate me on the gender r
It turned out that it was just a stuffed animal watching me. It certainly looked real to me. I waited a few more minutes until Maddison went back upstairs. That was close, and I cannot believe she did not notice I was there. Then again, she was half asleep going up the stairs after eating. Now, where was I going to put this tiny device again? Oh, yes, it is in one of the books that she hardly ever reads this time. She has so many romance novels it is hard to keep track of. However, I am surprised that her new husband has not seen her romantic novels. Then again, he has but just ignored it. Now, it is time for me to get out of here before they wake up and head back to my house. Maddison Shane wakes up, sweetie. Remember, we have an appointment today to see the Ultrasound Technician to find the sex of our babies. Just a few more minutes, please he tells me. The anticipation is palpable as we prepare for this momentous occasion. Come on, babe, the quicker we get this done, the faster w
Gabriel Whoa, that was a close one. I could not believe those two were getting close to seeing my disguise. That would have not been particularly good for me at all. I would have asked myself the questions they were asking if one of them was in a different disguise. I am sitting in my car waiting for the alarm person to finish that I hired for them. This is the only way I know I can keep track of how Shane treats my ex-wife. I could not believe that I dared to do something so stupid as to have an affair with my young secretary. Look where it has gotten me by thinking with my tiny brain instead of my big one. Maddison and I would still be together if I had not been thinking with my tiny brain instead of my big one. I would not have to resort to such measures to get her to forgive me. A wise person once said, “It is better to be forgiven than not to be forgiven.” I do not remember who said it; it was Ghandi, or it could have been my grandmother. My grandma Eleanor was an incredi
Shane You know you do look familiar to her ex-husband. Are you sure that you two are not related? Oh, I am most certainly sure. I know you two have just moved in, but I wanted to ask how you like the place. We love the place, and I see Maddison’s face getting extremely red, like a tomato. Awe, Maddison, your face is ripe as a tomato Sam mentions while hiding her face. Does that mean the two of you had some fun last night? Yes, we had some fun last night I answered. Good. I am glad to hear that you both love the place. I tell him there is nothing as fun as getting some with the woman you love. No there is nothing wrong with that at all. I must be off now and let you get back to unpacking boxes. Thank you so much for stopping by Samantha, Maddison said. However, the next time you come by can you knock? It is no problem, and I will make sure to knock first I cannot help but get a strange feeling that we will not be seeing the last of her. I get the same feeling too; I said to, Maddis
It was finally moving day, and we couldn’t wait to have the keys to our new home. It was a long week waiting, but Shane and I did it. Shane did most of the packing for me while I supervised. He didn’t want me to do anything since I was pregnant with four babies. Will you at least let me do something? I asked him. I feel so useless, I told him. You are supervising me and telling me what you want in these boxes. Isn’t that doing something he says to me? I couldn’t argue with that because he was right. At least I didn’t have to carry the heavy stuff, which was an advantage of being pregnant. I’m going to make myself some lunch. Do you want anything? I asked Shane. Wow, those babies have you eating crazy as a…don’t you dare finish that sentence. Never mind, I will have a sandwich with chicken, provolone cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes with Italian dressing. Yum, that sounds delicious; I will make some for both of us. The packing is almost finished, so we sit down to eat our lunch. Babe, I
Gabriel After washing the dishes, cleaning the table, sweeping the floor at the restaurant where Maddison and I first met, and stealing my wallet to pay for our lunch, I drove home with a clear purpose: I was determined to obtain my Real Estate License. This decision wasn’t just about a career; it was a way to reconnect with Maddison. I knew I needed a flawless disguise to hide my true identity from her for this plan to work. But first, I had to prioritize the necessary courses. The online courses were straightforward, offering a quick path to getting my Real Estate License. While there were more extended programs, I chose the accelerated options to expedite my journey. Each course included engaging videos, followed by quizzes to reinforce what I learned. I committed to watching a weekly video, ensuring I absorbed all the material before moving forward. After three weeks of dedicated study, I passed the exams and was ready for the next phase of my plan. I needed someone who could
Since you can’t pay, you will work it off by washing the dishes in the kitchen and cleaning the restaurant. I can’t believe I have to wash dishes to pay for my meal. No, you have it wrong, the waitress notified me. You have to pay for two meals and dessert. Wait, what? I did not order dessert. No, but she did tell me to put it on your tab. Why the nerve of that woman? How dare she do this to me? I will make sure that I get her back for stealing my wallet. However, she is having four babies with her new husband. I need to dig deep about him and see if he is a good guy. Otherwise, if he is not, then he will be in a lot of trouble. Yeah, let’s see if you are worthy of being with my ex-wife, Mister Shane Evans. As I am standing in the kitchen thinking about it. The manager comes by and says to me, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry with the dishes. I have customers waiting for their orders. Yep, that is it, I am going to get back at them. Maddison After I was done confronting G
Maddison After concluding that there may be a hidden camera or small listening device in my house. I decided that I must confront my ex-husband alone about it. Although Shane may not want me to do it, I have to see why my ex-husband is doing this. The only way I will be able to convince Shane for me to talk to him alone is to make his favorite breakfast. I know what happened the last time when I visited my ex-husband in jail for ruining my engagement party. However, this time I will be more alert and will not put it past him if he tries something again. I quietly snuck out of bed while Shane was still sleeping, went to the bathroom washed up. Then quietly walked out of the room, heading towards the kitchen. I started making the egg mixture for the French Toast, then cut up some sausage, eggs, and coffee. I knew it was a matter of time before Shane woke up. So, I had to make sure that everything was ready for him when he came into the kitchen. Suddenly, as I am finishing his m
Gabriel Oh, Mr. Shane Evans, you will not be able to find anything. By the time you do find it I will be long gone, with Maddison finally having forgiven me for my sinful deed. I will make sure that I will show up at every place possible until she has had enough, and I am satisfied with the sincerity of her forgiveness towards me. I wonder how long it will take them to figure out that there is a hidden camera in her house. That is how I knew about the engagement party. Maddison had no idea that I planted a hidden device in one of her plants. She could never keep up with taking care of any plant anyway. Seeing that she had fake ones was icing on the cake to go with my plan. So they’re going to search for a place to live, huh? I wonder if I can get my Real Estate License. It should seem easy enough, right? I begin looking on my phone for courses in Real Estate since I have some time. It will be awhile before they find something that Maddison will love. I know Maddison she is ver
