After feeling a tap on my shoulders I turn around and see that my boss Chief Administrator Lee Jones or Lee as he wants me to call him standing there looking at everyone. Suddenly, the nurses scatter, about to continue their shifts. Hello Maddison, I take it that you had a nice time at your high school reunion, he states. Why, yes, I did, as I replied to him. That is good to hear, however, you can chit-chat about it on your break or during lunch. Now there is a patient in room 215 who needs to be tended to.

Yes, Mr. Jones, I will get right to that now. As I am heading towards the patient's room. Mr. Jones calls me, and says to me, remember to call me Lee. Oh, another thing, I want to see you in my office during your thirty-minute break. Sir, my break is only fifteen minutes, I respond to him. Well, I am making an exception, and we’re going to need the whole thirty minutes.

Okay, I will see you in a few hours, Lee for my break. Good, that gives us some time to chat about your reunion

    When my shift is over, and I clock out, I grab the roses and then head to my car in the parking lot. The roses smelled so good too. I can’t believe that he would send me roses after our rendezvous during the class reunion. I wonder if anyone noticed that the popular jock and the pretty nerdy girl were missing. No, I highly doubt that, but I will read about how it went on our school website soon.Driving home I just couldn’t believe that Shane would send me flowers, and they are my favorite too. It was so thoughtful of him to do that. I guess he just wanted to show that he respects me. I guess they mean it when they say some people have changed since high school, they weren’t lying. Furthermore, I put the flowers in the passenger sand and then buckled them up. “Yes, people I buckled my flowers because they are beautiful, and didn’t want them to fall out of the seat.”“I know that it is crazy, but they are gorgeous, so I am not taking any chances.” "If you all don’t like it, will tough n

    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 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.

    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. 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

  • DEAR CEO, LOVE ME HARDER   Chapter Fifty-Five Confronting Gabriel

    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.
