My goodness Maddison what has been going on with you lately? He asks me. You have been snappy ever since we got back from your friend Sandy’s house. I thought maybe it was because you said that you were not feeling well. However, I am beginning to think that you are not telling me the whole truth. I so apologize Shane for being in such a bad mood. You went through all this trouble, and I am spoiling it because of my mood.

Does work have you stressed out? Oh, you can say it is something to that effect. You know though, let’s not ruin my issues with work and whatever else I have going on dampen our night. You said that tonight was special so let’s enjoy it. Likewise, you are right darling let’s not mention your work or mine and enjoy the evening.

We dig into our food having a nice conversation. Then his brother comes out of the kitchen, over to our table to ask us how the meal was. I tell him that the meal was fantastic. Shane says to his brother that he outdid himself once again.

    I cannot figure out what else you would have wanted, Gabriel? I approached you to see if I can get your forgiveness for what I have done to you. Gabriel, now is not the time for this, besides I am getting married. Can you forgive me please, Maddison? Well, since I am getting ready to plan my second wedding, it would be only right for me to forgive. I don’t want any bad mojo when getting married the second time around. Therefore, I do forgive you. Now, can I have a hug before you go? I am not so sure about hugging you, remember what happened the last time when you tried something with me. Yes, I do, it was because I was drunk and grieving for my unborn child. I know there is no excuse for that either. Alright, you can have a hug, then we hug and right before he lets me go he kisses me. Oh, you certifiable jerk, what is wrong with you as I push him away and slap him. The guards come grab him, then take him back to his cell. However, before they can even open the door, he says to me

    The reception was spectacular, numerous people eating and dancing the night away. Before we knew it, it was time for me to toss the bouquet and for Shane to do the garter toss. I have to say that there had been a good amount of single men and single women here. Of course, the majority were nurses I worked with. Shane has his coworkers and a few of his employees on the floor as well. I tossed my bouquet first and one of the nurses caught it. Then, as usual as tradition would have it, Shane for the garter off my leg. Then tossed it, one of his employees caught it. It was time for us to change to go to our destination honeymoon.

I couldn’t believe what a jerk I had been, and she wanted to make it special for me to receive the news. Now I need to stop by the flower shop to get her favorite flowers, apologize and tell her what a jerk I was. Ryan took me to the nearest flower shop. You got it sir. We found the flower shop a couple of blocks down from the hotel. I go inside looking for roses since that is her favorite flower. The florist comes up to me, asks me how she can help me? I tell her that I am looking for roses for my wife. Ah, I see, mind if I ask what happened? It is unclear to me why, but I ended up telling her the story of how she shared with me that she was pregnant. The florist says to me, you’re a moron, and she needs more than roses for her to accept your apology. She looks around the shop for the flowers and something else. Ahhh, yes, here w

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.
