Shane’s POV My brother Desmond was right I was being an asshole all because Maddison had waited until our honeymoon to tell me I will be a father. 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
DEAR CEO, LOVE ME HARDER Chapter 1 Gabriel's Confession
Gabriel and I have been married for five years and everything was going smoothly as a sailing thread. However, that was not until she surfaced with malicious intent. This woman had disrupted my blissful marriage. She was my worst nightmare, an experience I will never want to recall.No, how could you do this to us?” This can't be happening, not when I am just starting to get my nursing career off the ground, My hands covered my ears as the words were departing his lips. Impossible. I would rather not listen to anything Gabriel was saying. It… can't be. How had he managed to get another woman pregnant? Why am I focusing on this woman when my focus should be on him, my husband? He decided this woman was more important than our five-year marriage. “Maddison…” He says my name, but it feels disgusting leaving his mouth. I screamed at him…Don’t you fucking dare say my name!! Reaching for the beer bottle beside me and hitting him over the head with it. It had left him with a slight
DEAR CEO, LOVE ME HARDER Chapter 2 Emily
Our cars stop in the middle of the road, and we are throwing insults at each other back and forth. We then stopped reluctantly when a line of cars told us to get out of the middle of the road. I drove and parked in the nearest abandoned parking lot. She parks, too, but not too close to my car. “How does it feel getting pregnant for a married man way out of your age limit? I snarked”.Oh, you must be Gabriel's wife. “I saw your wedding photo on his desk.” With a smug on her face, looking at me up and down. Then you know that you should not have been having an affair with a married man. Well, according to him, you weren't doing what you were supposed to do as a wife. I slapped her for saying that remark and for sleeping with my husband. She winces from the sting of the slap. Excuse you, I happen to have a career as a nurse, and every so often I work twelve-hour shifts. Why am I even explaining myself to you? Damn, this bitch needs a good beating that will land her in the asylum. You
DEAR CEO, LOVE ME HARDER Chapter 3 The Morning After
Madison's P. O. VThe 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. The
DEAR CEO, LOVE ME HARDER Chapter 4 Feeling Guilty
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
DEAR CEO, LOVE ME HARDER Chapter 5 Divorce
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
DEAR CEO, LOVE ME HARDER Chapter 6 Desmond
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
DEAR CEO, LOVE ME HARDER Chapter 7 Desmond's Asks For A Real Date
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

DEAR CEO, LOVE ME HARDER Chapter Forty-Seven The Honeymoon
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. Everyone waved goodbye as we left. Not before my mother-in-law whispered in my ear, please be careful as to how you tell him. I nod my head smiling, waving again, heading towards the waiting limo. How do you feel now about being married to the most eligible bachelor? It feels absolutely astonishing I responded. Where are we going for our honeymoon, I asked hi

A month and a half later we are in the venue getting ready to stand before the family and friends. However, I feel that something is off. I ask Sandy if Shane has shown up yet for our wedding. No, he has not shown up yet. Can you please go see what is taking so long? I am ready to get married. You don’t to think he is getting cold feet, do you? Of course not as she tries to ease my mind. Did Shane tell you that he had something to do last minute? No, he did not tell me anything. All he said I have something to do, and I will be there in time for our wedding and that was yesterday. Hmm, I wonder what could be so important that he can’t make it on time to his wedding. I don’t know, but once he does get here he better have a good excuse for keeping me waiting or else I will pulverize him. Now Maddison don’t do anything harsh you know getting upset is not good for you and the baby. You mean babies, I mention to her. Sandy turns me around looks at me shockingly, then asks me what you
DEAR CEO, LOVE ME HARDER Chapter Forty-Five Maddison Plans Her Wedding
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

Maddison, but I still love you. That is when I knew that something was terribly wrong with him. First coming up here to my engagement party drunk as a wilder beast is beyond me. He is usually never like that. Then to find out that my engagement party was leaked to the press makes me even more mad. I’m sure whoever did it Shane will have his or head on a platter, not literally, but you know what I mean right. Of course, you all do. We will find out who leaked it then have a good talk with them. How could he just come here and ruin my party? I doubt that I am ever going to forgive him. It is alright as my mom comforts me. The important thing is that you and the baby are okay. How could it be okay, mom? Everyone will be talking about this for a long time. Maybe after the wedding that we will be having in a couple of months. Hopefully, you will not be showing in the next two months my mother mentions to me. I am glad that I am not showing right now, but in case I do, I will make sure

It’s nothing for you to worry about, babe. Besides, you should be worrying about how big the bill will be. I am a billionaire Maddison, I don’t have to worry about how much money I spend when I can always make it back. Hold on a second here, quit trying to distract me. I want to know what your mother meant by that. I told you it was nothing, just something that she said to me, that is all. Are you sure it is nothing because you have not been quite yourself lately. I am fine, nothing that right months can handle while thinking that in my brain? Anyway, what are you going to wear for the party? I figured that we could both go in matching attire. You know what, we are going to put this on the back burner for now. We will finish this discussion at a later time. Presently, I have to go and pick up my tuxedo for the party. He gives me a kiss then leaves, woo, that was a close one. Don’t get me wrong, I love Shane, but I just want to be extra cautious as to how I am going to tell him.

After Shane asked me to marry him and the night was over, everyone went home. My mom decided to go back to her hotel room.

I will be fine dear, she said, besides Shane’s limo driver is going to take me back. Now you two love birds, have a wonderful evening and I will talk to you tomorrow. Goodnight. Goodnight I say as I give her a kiss on the cheek. We are watching my mom being escorted by the limo driver to the awaiting limo. Please take care of my mother, I say to Ryan as Shane is holding me. We walk back down to the cabin as I blink my tears away. Did you love your surprises? He asked me as I was getting undressed. I love them immensely, I replied. Good he says. Now how about I help you out of those clothes. I look at him and he is wiggling his eyebrows. I don’t feel like it tonight. Not only that, but I am so tired I told him an

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.

I am just tired of caring for a patient who seems to want to grab my butt from time to time. Do I need to come down there to kick some patients' ass? No, babe you do not need to come down here, besides he is an old man who is harmless. Well, he needs to keep his hands off my lady. I will make sure to tell him that when my next rounds are on that floor, as I am laughing. My goodness Shane, you're not jealous, are you? You should know that you have nothing to worry about.

Okay, good I will not be off until six so that allows me plenty of time to get home shower and get dressed. Speaking of dresses since you mentioned it, what size are you? I a
