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

    Dylan was already working on recovering that money, but he never meant to return it to the Cambridges’ coffers. This was money he wanted to invest in his name to prove to Maeve’s father that he was already well-to-do and was not going to marry Maeve because of money, like how he had branded Gabriel. It was the reason why he didn’t move ahead with the wedding preparations yet. Reginald was smart, and Dylan wanted to be smarter. Maeve wanted to be sure that he was going to return the money and asked, “You promise?” “Of course,” Dylan eagerly agreed. Since Maeve found him out, he had no choice but to do so. However, he was going to find another way to get it all back. There was more and he knew he had to cover them up to not come to light for Maeve to find out.“Then make it fast. Dad will soon be handing over the company to you, and I want him to see how hardworking and smart you are,” Maeve pinched his ego, and as expected, he was grinning like a fool. “Of course, I will make both

    “What is that?” Sandra asked worriedly, unable to perceive anything bigger than her clothing line. It was her backup plan just in case their plans failed and she got kicked out of the mansion. It was prudent for her to make sure that she did not go back to a life of poverty. “Maeve has found out about the 100 million.” “What?” Sandra paled. Working in the finance department all this while, it was not easy for them to pull it through, and Dylan had confirmed that everything was fine. That was the greatest achievement and leap of getting Dylan to set a date for Maeve’s wedding. The first time he talked about it with Reginald, he told him to prove that he was not in for the money, for which reason they came up with that plan. “I thought you said it could not be traced.” “That is what I thought,” Dylan agreed before adding a contrast, “but she has all the proof.” He still could not understand how it happened, and Samantha did not have much information for him, not even the other s

  • Gosh!!! Addicted to my CEO Ex-Husband   Chapter 22 – she did it

    At Cambridge’s residence, Maeve was admiring the clothes, shoes, bags, and everything Gabriel had purchased for her. She wished she could wear them all together at once to see him happy the way he was this morning. Reminiscing about how they started as childhood friends when the teenage Gabriel would follow her father around, Maeve wondered how she believed lies and distrusted him in her past life. After all, she did to him. He still bought all these for her. Maeve could count the number of things Dylan bought for her in her past life. They were usually on occasions and things he would equally benefit from, like expensive wines, which they would drink together. Her loath for Dylan increased the more her love for Gabriel grew. The fact that she wanted to be with Gabriel every step of the way and could not wait for Monday to come. The fact that she was missing him terribly when he was just downstairs. Maeve felt a desire in her heart—the desire to make him the happiest and most pow

    Maeve stared at her father and tried to stifle her laughter. Her cheeks had already turned pink in response to his glare. “Dad, it’s nothing.” “Oh yes, it is. What did you do to Gabriel?” Reginald asked seriously, not believing that it was nothing. He knew his daughter was crazy and did not want Gabriel to get hurt anymore. Maeve was embarrassed at the way her father kept glaring at her. “Dad, I said it’s nothing,” she said and began to run up the stairs. Reginald was still uncomfortable, so he dialed Gabriel’s number. Gabriel was driving, but his phone speaker was connected to his dashboard. “Dad!” Reginald was relieved that Gabriel sounded vibrant but still asked, “Son, did everything go well? What did she say?” Gabriel smiled and responded, “Nothing, Dad.” He could not tell Reginald that Maeve had hugged and kissed him. That was something intimate, and he just couldn’t share. Reginald could still not get over his unease, “Are you sure? You are suddenly keeping secrets from

    “What happened?” Maeve asked, not knowing how she was able to hold herself when her anger had reached its peak. Tears washed Hannah’s face from the pain from the slap. It was so painful coming from a man like Dylan, it felt as if her teeth were going to fall out, and she could even taste the blood in her mouth. “Miss, he slapped me,” Hannah said in a teary voice. Maeve glared at Dylan, who looked upset. In this instance, she was confused since her back was turned, and she did not know what had happened. “Dylan, what happened? Don’t you know it’s wrong to abuse a woman?” Maeve asked in an angry tone, feeling that no matter what, Dylan should not hit a woman. “You should have seen her, Maeve. She was looking at me lustfully and even touched my gun,” Dylan pointed at his manhood. That is what he meant by gun. Maeve could not believe it, but she did not have enough proof to stand by Hannah and asked Dylan, “Hannah has eyes for you?” “It’s not true, miss, I swear it,” Hannah cried, a

    Gabriel’s eyes almost fell out as they were filled with shock and admiration. “You mean?” He needed the details of the matter, knowing that his company had been saved by Maeve. It was unexpected since he was just slowly beginning to trust her. It had not reached the level of completion. Before Maeve could answer, his phone began to ring. Some were calls from board members, so he muted them. Then the landline began to ring, and messages dropped from all angles. Gabriel was certain that the press release would address all their concerns, so he did not need to speak to them individually. He was also grateful that his board members were far away except Reginald, who he had spoken to earlier and told that he was going to get to the bottom of it. At that time, Gabriel had no idea what exactly was going on. “You must have read the soft copies after going through the hard copy, but you should have read the hard copy again before appending your signature. Somebody changed some of the pages

    There was already a pool of tears in Samantha’s eyes, and she was shivering from fear from the way Gabriel gawked at her. It was as if he was seeing a rare kind of dangerous animal. Perhaps she should have remained faithful to him for the trust he had for her. All along, she thought that Gabriel did not care about her but was just realizing that he trusted her too much and did not deserve this betrayal. His relationship with her was formal, but in that formality, he would have stood by her. Samantha was fidgeting with her fingers while her pool of tears fell. She pleaded earnestly, “I didn’t want to do it because I loved you, but you never looked at me. It was always her,” Samantha glared at Maeve, who had a sweet smile on her face. Then Maeve’s words in the kitchen from last week rang in her ears, “You won’t know what’s coming before it hits you.” Samantha wondered if Maeve was the one who changed the documents at the last moment, but Maeve was not so smart, so how was that even p

  • Gosh!!! Addicted to my CEO Ex-Husband   Chapter 27 – Mysterious Maeve

    Gabriel was making changes to the job description of the new secretary he requested to send to HR while waiting for his coffee when Dylan barged into his office. He did not knock, looked angry and a little sweaty, as if he had used the stairs instead of the elevator to Garvin’s office. “Where is Maeve?” Dylan bellowed. The text message Garvin sent caused a stir in his heart, and he was afraid that what he was feeling for Maeve was even more than just the money he wanted from her. Her avoidance of him lately has caused him to think about her a lot of times, taking his sleep away. Gabriel ignored him as if he did not exist, making him angry. He had dialed Gabriel’s number countless times after receiving the message, but the scam’s number was not going through, which meant he had blocked Dylan. Also, Dylan had not heard from Kor and the two men concerning the deal with Gabriel, and he did not see Samantha at her post to ask her question

    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

    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

    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
