As soon as I open the door wide enough, I can kind of see who it is, but the sun is shining bright in my eyes. Come on in whoever you are, I can’t see you right now because of the sun. The person steps inside my house and once I adjust my eyes I see who it is. Oh, my freaking goodness, Gabriel, it’s you. Now I suppose you are here for Emily. Yes, I am, he says to me. Before you do that we need to talk. Shane and Emily, we will be in the living room talking. I go out the kitchen, to close the sliding door so they can’t hear what I’m about to say to Gabriel. Gabriel, Emily has told me that you have been hovering over her as if she is going to go into labor any minute now. You do know she is not due for another few weeks, and you are stressing her out is not helpful for either her or the baby, “But we thought that we had almost lost the baby, Gabriel says.” “Well, you did not, have the contractions were stopped, I told him.” “ Now she cannot have any more stress.” “Emily needs to relax
Shane, you have to tell me where you’re taking me, or what are we doing? Nope, not unless you ask nicely. Can you please tell me what you’re doing? Well, my pretty love, we are going on our actual first date. Oh, my seriously, is that why you asked for me to have the day off? Yes, that is precisely why. What do I need to wear, or is what I am wearing fine? He says to me, you will most certainly need to change from your work clothes. I need to most certainly take you on a first date and a few more after that before I leave. Wait, what, you’re leaving? Where are you going, I ask Shane. I have some business that I have to take care of overseas in Japan. So, this will be our only date before you leave? No, Maddison, I don’t have to leave for another two weeks. Oh, what a relief, I was worried that you might have to leave right after our first date. Of course not, I planned this out accordingly to spend as much time together while I’m here working on a project. What kind of project are
Before the plane takes off all I have to say is that at least I looked at her and slept with her before you even had a chance. Now if you excuse me big brother, I have a plane to fly. Wouldn’t want you to miss your first date in Paris, France. Alright, you two, that is enough. I have been standing here watching you two bickering at each other for the last ten minutes. I am ready to go on my date with the person I’ve always had a crush on. Shane, please give your little brother a break, it is not as if he knew that I had a very big crush on you in high school. Of course, he wouldn’t notice you Maddison, he was too busy being with the popular kids. Desmond, Maddison and I have already discussed this, and I have apologized for being a jerk towards her. She has forgiven me for that now will you go please go and fly the plane. As long as she has forgiven you, I am fine with that. Just do not hurt her, I saw what her ex-husband did to her when she came crying in my bar that night. That is
Brandon, our limo driver, is standing with the door open for us. We both say thank you to Brandon as he closes the door and gets into the driver’s seat. Now, can you please tell me about our date I ask Shane? Alright, I will tell you or at least give you a hint. It is one of the most famous places here in France. People like to go up there all the time. You can see all of France from there. Let me think here for a minute, it is the most famous place, and we can see all of France. Is it the Eiffel Tower, would you look at that, come here so I can give you a kiss for getting it right? I cannot believe that our very first date will be at the Eiffel Tower here in Paris. Believe it darling because there will be many more dates like this. I hope so, and I am eagerly awaiting it. There was a bit of traffic heading towards the Eiffel Tower for our first date. However, I didn’t mind because I was with the person that I have always wanted to be with. Nothing could have been better than that.
Shane and I got out of the shower after hearing a knock on the door. However, by the time we got to the door to answer it, whoever was on the other side of the door was gone. They left the cart and a note next to the cart. Shane brings the cart in and reads the note. What does it say? I asked him. Oh, it is just a note from the pastry chef he responds back to me. He just wanted to send us a complimentary dessert for staying here at the hotel. Well, isn’t that awfully nice of him, I say. So, what dessert did he send up here. Let’s take a look at what we have here. Shane lifts the cover and there are all different kinds of pastries sitting on the cart. There I saw a couple of my favorite desserts. Oh, my goodness, I say to him, I cannot believe the chef sent this all up here. Well, sometimes when I come here to do business the chef does send me some desserts. Now, do you want to eat dessert, or do you want to go to bed? I walk up to sway my hips and look him right in the eyes and
“Gabriel, what on earth are you doing here at my house again?” "I have been waiting for you to get here so that I can talk to you.” Why is what it this time? I told you that I would think about your offer to help you with your baby. That is why I am here to talk to you about what happened while you were away with him. Oh, my goodness Gabriel his name is Shane. Well, excuse me, I forgot what his name was. However, when looked at my ex-husband, he did not look well. “Gabriel, is everything okay?” I asked him. He looked up at me with this sad look in his eyes as if he had been beaten down. Do mind if I come in, he asks me so we can talk it is nippy still out here. Alright, come on in I doubt that the mother of your child would like it if you caught a cold. He comes in I look to see if anyone saw him. Thank goodness nobody did, or else word would get back to Shane. As I finally close the door, I turn around to see my ex sitting on the floor instead of on the couch. I walk over th
It has been a few weeks since my ex-husband had told me the news about Emily and the baby. What I didn’t know is that I was being followed and Shane had come back early from his trip. He had seen me talking to my Gabriel, which I was unaware of. I can’t believe he had his limo driver spying on me. Well, the minute we had a chance to talk he is getting a piece of my mind The following day, I was getting ready for work. While I was getting ready, I heard a knock on my door. Who can be here at this time in the morning? I ask myself. Once I open the door, I see that it is Shane. Shane, what are you doing here this early in the morning! Oh, I knew that you would be getting ready to go back to work. So I decided to come in over early to talk before you left. "What do you want to talk about?" “I already know that you had your limo driver following me.” “It is a good thing that I did too” “Or else I wouldn’t have known that you were talking to your ex-husband.” “I can talk t
Oh, here go again I tell him, how many times do I have to tell you that there is nothing going on with Gabriel and I. Well, he is always here when I am here. Look, he has no one now and he needs someone to talk to. After all, he is going through something tragic right now. I know that, Maddison, but does it have to be you who he talks to? Please don’t tell me that you're jealous of Gabriel. No, I am not jealous, however, I’m just a bit concerned about how much time he spends over here. So, he spends a lot of time off here because I am the only person he knows in this city. He was only supposed to be here for a conference. Somehow though, he decided that him and his mistress Emily wanted to move here. Did it ever occur to you that maybe he was here to try to win you back. Well, I can tell you for sure that I am never ever getting back together with him. He has hurt me too much, and I’m not going through that again. Alright, fine I will not bring him up again. I can see that it
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
I can’t believe you kept that secret from me this whole time while speaking to my mother. You mean to tell me all the talk about waiting until you get married was a lie? I’m sorry, honey, we thought it was best to keep it to ourselves. Well, good job, not only did you lie, you and Dad are both hypocrites. Don’t you dare say that about your father. He did the best he could to provide for us. If he were here, he would tell you the same thing. Anyway, I am going to lay down. Suddenly, it is a bit too stuffy in here. Hello, anyone, I am still here. Gabriel, what are you still doing here? I thought I told you to leave. Yes, you did tell me that. Then why haven’t you left? Well, you said that I can stay until morning, then leave after your mom made something to eat for me. I look at Shane, asking him, did I say that? Yes, you did, babe responding back. I am beginning to think that I have a pregnancy brain from what I read in what to expect when expecting. You know what, maybe I nee
Maddison, what is Gabriel talking about? What is this unspoken secret between the two you? Go on Maddison, I am surprised you didn’t tell your mom or Shane. Well, I know why you didn’t tell her. As far as your husband here you did not bother to say anything to him before you two got hitched. Gabriel, you are walking on thin ice. Huh, I am already there Maddison don’t you see the invisible thread that I am hanging by. I’ve lost everything that I have ever loved. You mean to tell that you actually loved Emily. No, of course not, I wasn’t talking about her. Then who were you talking about? I was talking about you and my two dead sons. Wait, Shane says looking shocked you have two sons who are deceased and will not get to see grow up. Yep, I sure as hell do. Alright, this ends right now. Maddison I am your husband now. I believe I am entitled to know about what happened between the two of you before you both married each other. Your right you do have the right to know because we sho
“You don’t get to say those words after what you have done to her.” “I know what I did, and I have apologized several times to her, but she won’t accept it.” And coming to our engagement party unannounced did not help anything in your forgiveness from her. How did you even find out about the party anyway? It was a private affair and invitations only. Oh, I have my ways, he says with a smirk on his face. You dodged a bullet with me because I would have kicked your ass if the police hadn’t shown up. You know Shane, I was going to convince her to come back to me, then you pressed charges. I was in jail for a good week before she came to see me. That is because I did not want Maddison to see you. We had got into a big argument about it, but she insisted. I even had forbidden her to see you. That was the wrong move or should I say wrong choice of words. Let me guess Maddison went crazy when you forbid her from doing something. Yes, she did, I told him. Yep, that is Maddison for yo
Shane’s POV When my mother-in-law said that I went ahead and put the dishes in the sink. Of course, I had a feeling of what I knew was coming. After sitting down at the dining table. Phong starts talking to me, I just want you to know that I don’t blame you for the way you reacted to the news of Madison’s pregnancy. However, you could have done it differently. I know I have apologized to her profusely. That is good to know because I would rather not see my baby upset. She has been through too much already, and the way you behaved was not the kind of man I want for my daughter. Furthermore, I had told Maddison to tell you she was pregnant before the wedding happened. Wait, you knew about the pregnancy and didn’t tell me. It wasn’t my place to tell you Shane. That was for Maddison to do. I know my daughter can be stubborn, but she is a good woman. I know she is Phong, that is how come I love her she is smart, beautiful, and funny. She could have had a chance with me when we were
Shane, I think that we need to make an emergency landing, I don’t feel so well. At that moment, I start feeling pain in my stomach and double over because it hurts. He informs the pilot to make an emergency stop. He hails a cab to take us to the nearest hospital. In the hospital room, the doctor is doing some tests because there was a little bleeding. Are the babies okay I ask the doctor? We will let you know as soon as we run a few more tests, Mrs. Evans. Doctor, please do what you can to help my wife. Money is of no expense to us. I will inform you two of the results as soon as they come back from the lab. I want to do an ultrasound as well to make sure everything is going smoothly. The doctor comes back with the ultrasound machine, he puts the warm jelly on my stomach. Let’s take a look here and see what the problem is. He loves the wand around, oh I see that you are expecting quadruplets. Yes, we are, and we were flying in from our honeymoon when I felt the pain. Luckily for y
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
