“I only saw the ring. Can you tell me about his wife?” Maeve crafted a smile to hide the pain she felt every time she saw Gabriel’s ring.

How strange of the fact that she recalled nothing about it and the fact that he said he loved her before her death? Something was not adding up and Maeve felt worried that she missed something or a part of her memory had been covered.

Did Gabriel divorce at a point? Maeve recalled nothing of it in her past life and felt miserable talking about it. Doreen shook her head.

“Even my father doesn’t know her. It was some kind of secret marriage and Gabby said she was in Hawaii. A fun-loving girl. But I know that Gabby doesn’t like fun-loving girls. He would have married Mildred if he did and he has refused to show anyone any picture of her as well.”

Maeve saw the situation as dicey. If only she could remember. “Maybe…”

Maeve’s phone began to ring and her heart thumped when she brought out her phone and s

    At the sight of Maeve, Sandra stood up and said, “There you are, Maeve, your fiancé has been worried sick. Since you are here, I will go and rest.” She quickly ran up the stairs and Maeve realized she did that a lot, wondering how she could say these things so casually as if she was innocent of it all. Maeve laughed at the mockery of her words in her heart. “Maeve, you got us worried.” Care instantly registered in Dylan’s eyes and he stood up and circled his arms around her. She stiffened, feeling disgusted and quickly pulled away. She was tired of this fake care Dylan always tried to show her, which she always fell for in time past but now, she needed space because the air around Dylan and Sandra was sickening to her. This genius idea she just hatched, would help her to be free of this Dylan-Sandra Virus for some time. “You looked happy when I walked in,” Maeve said coldly and walked up the stairs after seeing his changed expression. It made Dylan feel that she was angry or jea

  • Gosh!!! Addicted to my CEO Ex-Husband   Chapter 13 – A perfect moment ruined

    Maeve was dazed by Gabriel’s utterance. It reminded her of how he had doted on her before, bringing back sweet memories which made her feel special. Gabriel would always defend and stand by her. This was a confirmation of the last part of her death when he said that he couldn’t live without her. She smiled at the thought of the sparks she felt when she helped him with the wristwatch, wondering if he felt it too. While Maeve was lost in her thoughts, Gabriel was furious. It was not his intention to chastise anyone or show that he cared for Maeve in her presence since she was the one who opted for a divorce when they had not even consummated their marriage. He lost control because this was the third time Samantha had done this right in front of him. The first time could be a mistake and the second time an oversight, but for it to repeat the third time meant that she was doing it on purpose, and Gabriel did not like it. For as long as Maeve was under his protection, she had to be give

  • Gosh!!! Addicted to my CEO Ex-Husband   Chapter 14 – Maeve, you are coming with me!

    Maeve had known from the revelation of her past life how good Gabriel was at martial arts and wished for the argument to get intense so he would teach Dylan a lesson for her. She was happy about what happened last night. Since she pretended to be affected by seeing Dylan laughing with Sandra, it saved her from the pretense of showing that she cared for him in front of Gabriel. It hurt her when she saw Gabriel’s painful look the last time when she lied that Dylan was coming to pick her up and did not want to see it again. Dylan came at the right time by Maeve’s timing. He was embarrassed at Gabriel chasing him out of his office, feeling that such power should belong only to him. Sadly, Gabriel had all the power Dylan desired, and he was determined to snatch it one by one. Gabriel’s weakness was an open book, and Dylan decided to use it as a weapon. He relaxed his back against the chair he sat on, crossed his legs, and said mockingly at Gabriel, “If Maeve is welcome, then so am I.”

    ‘Oh Gab, just kill him for me,’ Maeve wanted to say but held it in and rather asked politely, “Can I use your conference room, please?” Indirectly, she was telling Dylan that she was not leaving. She also did not look at Gabriel when she asked, and neither did she allow him to answer before saying, “Thanks, Gabriel, I’m grateful.” Thus, she did not allow Gabriel to refuse her request, pulling Dylan along with her while Gabriel’s fingers tightened into a fist. ‘So, it's back to Gabriel, no longer Gab,’ he said in his mind. Back then, he loved it a lot when she called him Gab. Things changed as fast as they happened, and Gabriel had already accepted it. He was only becoming confused because of Maeve’s recent change in attitude towards him, contemplating whether to trust her again or watch her closely. While Maeve passed through the reception with Dylan, Samantha said nervously, “Mr. Grayson, you are bleeding. Here, have my ha

    Gabriel’s phone rang a few minutes after Maeve left his office with Dylan. It was Maeve’s father, so he calmed down and answered it. “Dad!” “Son, is everything alright?” Reginald asked with care. Due to the relationship he had with Gabriel, the latter could not lie to him. “Well, no. Dylan got me upset, so I punched him in the face in front of Maeve,” Gabriel confessed, lest Dylan goes to fabricate a different story to incriminate him. “Good. Maeve came to the office earlier today and approved the list of underworking staff to be fired. They were the people you warned me to be mindful of, and when I fired them earlier, Dylan threatened he was going to tell Maeve, so I withdrew my decision,” Reginald revealed with a slight eagerness in his tone. “And she approved it?” Gabriel was amazed before the understanding began to sink in that this was the reason why Dylan had been furious with him earlier. “That is what the HR Manager told me,” Reginald responded. He was surprised upon see

  • Gosh!!! Addicted to my CEO Ex-Husband   Chapter 17 – When did you get married?

    Maeve did not remember any of these girls being bad in her past life. They were only influenced by Samantha. The one who was supposed to keep Gabriel’s secrets was the one distributing them. She could not get angry at the girls because they were not there when everything happened. It was all Samantha’s fault. Also, she kind of understood the reason why Samantha’s attitude towards her grew worse. When Gabriel told her to wait for him in his office that day, he rebuked Samantha for her sake. Maeve could not believe it since Gabriel was very cold towards her that day. Also, they talked about his mysterious wife and said that he went home early to her, but Gabriel had had dinner with Maeve since she began working from his office, except the night she went to visit Doreen. Her heart warmed at the thought of him defending her behind her back, and she could not worry about his mysterious wife anymore. The girls moved out of the way, and Maeve passed without a response to their greetings.

    Gabriel was taken aback by the question since it was unexpected, especially when it came from Maeve. He never thought that she cared. However, he could not help recalling her harsh words to him that day. He had forgiven her, but he could not help feeling pained whenever he remembered how Maeve’s ring finger was circled with a diamond, which was even cheaper than the ring he had given her. The ring he bought for 1.5 million was in the sewage. As Gabriel’s eyes narrowed to the ring on her finger, which did not cost even up to 500k, his expression turned cold, “Maeve, you are engaged, so things about my marriage should not concern you.” Maeve’s face fell, but she swallowed the pain and forced a smile. She knew that the pain she caused him was more than what she felt by the answer he gave her. It was all because of the fucken ring she was wearing, and she felt vile for not being able to take it off and throw it away right there and then. The sight of it brought her misery and pain, bu

    Gabriel felt like he was dreaming, upon seeing the dress Maeve was wearing. He loved the dress the moment he saw it and pictured her in it, thereby buying it with many others for her on her birthday, but he never saw her wearing any of them. It was even better than he thought at the time of purchasing the dress because Maeve rocked it perfectly. He was filled with the desire to possess her, especially when her eyes were fixated on his, both emitting sparks and desire to own each other. It was as if time stopped before Gabriel dared to take a step back. Maeve was in love with Dylan, and he had to respect it, whether he liked it or not. Regardless, it did not stop him from admiring her beauty. After all, he bought the dress she was wearing. “Maeve, sorry. I didn’t know you were standing there, and you look gorgeous.” Maeve beamed, and her eyes were glued to his. Her heart yearned for him, and her body was craving his touch, which she knew she would not get until the cursed diamond r

    SIX YEARS LATER. Dad, can you please drive faster?" Gerald exclaimed, his voice brimming with excitement. Earlier that morning, he had made a serious request for both of his parents to pick him up from school, just like his twin friends' parents did occasionally. Gerald, being a transfer student to this school, felt an instant connection with the twins due to their identical and adorable appearance. He couldn't help but talk about them every time he came home from school.Maeve and Gabriel had no reason to decline his innocent request, so they decided to leave work early and personally pick him up instead of sending the driver. Gerald had never needed a nanny because there were always plenty of people, like Cynthia and Precious, who were more than willing to help take care of him.However, Maeve couldn't help but feel concerned about Gerald's love for speed and decided to caution him seriously, saying, "You guys need to be careful with your speed." Gerald couldn't help but laugh

    Upon hearing the news, both Cynthia and Precious, Gabriel's mother, began visiting the hospital daily, bringing nutritious food for Maeve. The overwhelming emotions consumed them both."This is incredibly beneficial for the early stages of pregnancy," Precious exclaimed with excitement. Despite the 40% chance Gabriel had mentioned, she refused to lose hope, believing that as long as there was a possibility, success would eventually come.Cynthia chimed in, "This would also make a great lunch option." Previously fearful for Maeve's well-being, her husband's encouragement had bolstered her hope."I think we should take turns caring for her," Precious suggested, realizing they had brought an excess of food for both Maeve and Gabriel. It would be necessary to return some.Cynthia agreed, "That's not a bad idea. However, even on my off days, I will still visit her. I don't mind leaving the company affairs to my husband so I can dedicate ample time to Maeve." “Same here," Precious chimed

    Maeve was taken aback, as she had already lost hope, while Gabriel felt as though he and his wife were being ridiculed. If this was a joke, it was too cruel for him to bear."Doctor, what kind of sick joke is this? Didn't you say her womb was damaged?" Gabriel couldn't fathom the possibility of hope, as he had already made up his mind about adoption. The doctor, sensing their concern and confusion, smiled understandingly and proceeded to explain in detail."Yes, her womb is damaged, but because she is already pregnant, we would have to wait and deliver the child through a C-section and remove the womb at the same time," the doctor clarified. However, the furrowed brows and bewildered expressions directed at her prompted her to provide a more thorough explanation."Please don't misunderstand. This will be a high-risk pregnancy, so it's entirely up to you whether you want to proceed with it." With the confirmation of his wife's pregnancy, Gabriel felt a surge of happiness, but he als

    The only thing on Maeve's mind was her infertility issue. She began to wonder if Sandra was also involved in it.Before her death, Dylan confessed that he had given Maeve something to induce her labor pains. However, Sandra never confessed to any involvement from her side.Maeve believed that Sandra was just talking nonsense or seeking attention, so she replied, "You know nothing about my fertility."Sandra laughed and said, "Now it's my turn to laugh. Did you really think I would let you get pregnant for Dylan? Every time I gave you drinks, I added something to destroy your chances."Dylan was shocked and yelled, "Sandra! Why didn't you tell me about this?" It seemed that Sandra kept this information from him, probably because she knew he wouldn't agree to it. Gabriel, on the other hand, was so furious that he was speechless.Maeve shook her head, wondering when the situation had changed without her knowledge. She realized that she would never have discovered the truth if the tria

  • Gosh!!! Addicted to my CEO Ex-Husband   Chapter 105 - Maeve, don't you want to know about your womb?”

    A few hours earlier, Dylan found himself being escorted by a police officer, his questions unanswered.He had been transferred from the FBI to the police, as they believed they were better equipped to handle his case."Where are you taking us?" Dylan inquired, his voice filled with confusion and concern.The police officer responded,"Today is your first hearing. Your lawyer should have informed you by now."Dylan fell silent, realizing that his lawyer had abandoned him, fearful of going up against Gabriel, especially considering Dylan's tarnished reputation.Dylan had little faith in the state attorney that would be assigned to his case.He had attempted to find other lawyers, but none were willing to face Gabriel's formidable legal representation. The man had never lost a case.Separated from Sandra, Dylan had not seen or spoken to her in days.He felt a deep regret for not being more cautious with their financial endeavors, but his resentment towards Gabriel only intensified.Dylan

    “What do you plan to do?” Maeve asked seriously.She knew that Gabriel was powerful, smart, and a fighter but was also unaware of his dark side, except for the incident with Dylan when she played a prank on him to teach him a lesson.Maeve still didn't know how Gabriel had gotten Dylan into that state.Gabriel's expression darkened, but Maeve knew it wasn't directed at her as he said,"An eye for an eye. They have to die miserably, unless they can confess everything and receive the maximum jail term."Maeve agreed with the plan but was clueless about the details."So, what do you plan to do?"Gabriel's gaze softened as it focused on her."You are my wife. Let me take care of you, and from today, you don't have to worry about anything. You won't shed another tear, and you won't have to worry about anything."“I, your husband, promise to take care of it and provide you with the results for your judgment," he assured her.Maeve smiled and embraced him tightly, tears welling up in the cor

  • Gosh!!! Addicted to my CEO Ex-Husband   Chapter 103 – Maeve was afraid.

    Gabriel remained calm when he realized that it wasn't what he initially thought. If Maeve had died, she wouldn't be right there beside him.Maeve, on the other hand, felt as though he didn't believe her.This made it easier for her to find the right words to replace the ones that had accidentally slipped from her lips.However, she had a feeling that if she could explain it differently, he wouldn't know that she had lived two lives.No one would believe such a thing, not even herself if she hadn't experienced it.Gabriel's patience was extraordinary, but it was understandable since he didn't have work or anything else to distract him.He had time for her."It was a dream. A nightmare, but everything happened just as I saw it," Maeve said wisely, and Gabriel relaxed."Tell me about this nightmare," he said in a soft tone, calming her nerves.Maeve didn't know how, but after saying it was a nightmare before recounting the story, she didn't feel any hindrance like she usually did when tr

    “Are you sure you have the energy, my Wonder Woman?" Gabriel's deep and sensual voice sounded behind her as he wrapped his arms around her waist.His hot, minty breath fanned her ears, his palms caressing her through the dress she wore.Maeve moaned. Gabriel's touch felt like a sensual fire, igniting her arousal and making her crave him every time."Arrrrrrh, I believe we have everything, including the medical team, on this yacht."Her response conveyed that she didn't care if she passed out from their lovemaking. She just wanted him and had no desire for food.Moved by her words, Gabriel turned her to face him. When he and Reginald tricked her into signing those papers before, he was willing to do anything to make her fall in love with him, but she never gave him a chance.Now that he had her all to himself, how could he resist her request and not be flattered by the fact that she loved him so much and wanted him more than food?"You are indeed ready.

    "Maeve, I don't know whether to be ashamed or not, but the truth is, I fell in love with you from the first time I saw you, but you were underage."Maeve was shocked but also happy. However, she couldn't help feeling guilty for only seeing him as a family friend for all those years."I knew it was wrong to love an underage girl, and you were the same age as Doreen, so I felt like I had to see you as a sister. But I couldn't. Nevertheless, I also couldn't tell you or your father, so I decided to be your best friend."Maeve felt sorrowful. If only he had told her."Gab, maybe you should have told me when I turned eighteen. I hadn't met Dylan by then, and I would have started to consider the possibility because I liked you a lot, more than anyone else.""It was just that the asshole came confessing his love for me, and I fell for it. I guess I just wanted to be loved since most guys were afraid of me because of Dad," Maeve said thoughtfully, and Gabriel agreed."I know. That's why I nev
