DEAR CEO, LOVE ME HARDER Chapter Forty A Familiar Place
Did I do something to you, Maddison, for you to have that kind of tone with me? I apologize sweetheart it not you it's me. 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. No, I am not jealous, he says. Good you shouldn’t be, especially of an old gentleman. Anyway, you called me for a reason. Oh yes, he says that he had made a reservation tonight for eight in the finest restaurant in town. 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

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.

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 did insist that she stay here, but she would rather not interrupt our lovely night. Mom just please stay here so I do not have to worry about you. 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

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.

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
Last Updated : 2024-10-30DEAR 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

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

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

DEAR CEO, LOVE ME HARDER Chapter Sixty-Six Gabriel
When I went over to Maddison and Shane’s house, I had no idea a party was happening until I heard the music in the background. However, I did ring the doorbell first before I decided to enter since the door was unlocked. Who leaves their door unlocked anyway in this neighborhood? Don’t they know criminals are looking for a way into someone’s home? I hope they do not let just anybody walk up in here. Walking through their house, I see many decorations, including pink and blue balloons, food, and a cake. I asked myself what was with all this stuff; then, it dawned on me that this must be a gender reveal party. That would explain all the decorations around the house. I hear much noise, so I head towards the backyard. I saw some people that Maddison and I knew there in college. I also see my best friend and his wife, Sandy. Why was I not invited to this? Asking myself. Looking at the two of them makes me envious. It should have been all four of us together. It did not turn out that way b
DEAR CEO, LOVE ME HARDER Chapter Sixty-Five Maddison
Do you mean to tell me the night before you came to the reunion that you had some call girl in your hotel room? How did she look? Did she look better than me? Maddison, come on now. I did not know you would be at the reunion. Well, it is good that I did not see you with this woman the day before, or else I would have thought you were just another guy interested in that kind of stuff. I get it: a man has needs, and it was not as if we had any idea that we would run into each other. I know it was a stupid idea, but it was just sex to me.Well, hopefully, you were careful with this call girl. Did you have her sign an NDA? Have her sign what, you know, a nondisclosure agreement. It means she cannot discuss or say anything she did with you. Of course, I did. After all, I am a successful billionaire, and she knows the consequences of discussing what happened between us. I hope you are right, honey because women will do anything for the right price. It should not be a problem if she knows wh
DEAR CEO, LOVE ME HARDER Chapter Sixty-Four Keeping Secrets
The party had ended shortly after Gabriel left, and Shane was done talking to him. We will talk long tonight, especially since he keeps secrets from me. First, though, we need to clean up the backyard, and then we can talk about it. Honey, I asked Shane if you would please help me clean up. Of course, babe, I cannot have you doing all the work in your condition. “What do you mean in my condition?” “Come now, babe, do not get mad?” “You know that it's almost time for the babies to go out.” “Yes, I know, but that does not mean I am helpless.” “I want to do something useful before the babies come.” “I know you, Maddison, but shouldn’t you be nesting?” “Hey, do not give me that look. It is what I read in one of the pregnancy books.” You are right. I should be nesting and getting everything ready for our beautiful girls coming in a few weeks. Are you admitting to me being right about what I said? I am not going to say that you are right or wrong. I was making a statement. Besides,
DEAR CEO, LOVE ME HARDER Chapter Sixty-Three Shane and Gabriel
I observed Shane escorting my ex-husband out of the backyard. His expression suggested he might intend harm towards Gabriel. However, he is aware that he cannot afford to go to jail, especially with the babies on the way. It is noteworthy that they are all girls, which was unexpected. He will be a father to daughters, and we may consider trying for a boy. This decision will depend on his performance as a parent. Nonetheless, watching Shane with Gabriel gives me an uneasy feeling. Hopefully, nothing adverse will occur. Shane Look here, Gabriel. I do not know what you think that you heard about me having gambling problems when there are rumors. Well, my sources are reliable. I do not know who your sources are, but they are most certainly wrong. Besides, if there were any truth to those rumors, do you think I could not afford this house? No, you bought this with your gambling money. No, I did not. It shows what you know: I bought this house with the money I earned from my company. Awe
DEAR CEO, LOVE ME HARDER Chapter Sixty-Two Party Crashed Again
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
DEAR CEO, LOVE ME HARDER Chapter Sixt-One Gender Reveal
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
DEAR CEO, LOVE ME HARDER Chapter Sixty Almost Discovered
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
DEAR CEO, LOVE ME HARDER Chapter Fifty-Nine She Looks Familiar
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
DEAR CEO, LOVE ME HARDER Chapter Fifty-Eight Moving In
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
