Chapter 27 – Mysterious Maeve
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Gabriel 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

In the elevator, the few staff members inside with Dylan were dumbstruck, wondering what he did to deserve this from their CEO himself. They could also not call the cops for fear of being fired by Gabriel. Dylan was lying on the floor of the elevator, groaning in pain and all they could do was gawk while some of them took snapped pictures. When they stepped out of the elevator, one of them informed security, and only then was Dylan’s body conveyed to the hospital. Left to himself, he would just remain where he was and keep groaning in pain. Due to what Maeve did to Gabriel, everyone knew that Dylan Grayson was her fiance, so one of the security men called her while she was in Gabriel’s office. Maeve did not know the number and thought it might be business related, so she answered the call. “Miss Maeve Cambridge, we found your fiancé in the elevator and sent him to the hospital.” “What happened to him?” Maeve asked in a faked, nervous tone. Gabriel looked in her direction and frown

Gabriel loved the way her countenance proved how guilty she was, and he was enjoying it a lot. He observed the redness around her ears and how she was trying to suddenly avoid his gaze. Gabriel had only guessed but once again realized it was the truth. He could not imagine the reason she sent that message to Dylan when she claimed to love him. Gabriel shook his head at the mystery surrounding Maeve, not able to put a finger on what she was up to. Maeve did not see a way of coming out of this web unscathed, so she decided to avoid the entire conversation and rather asked, “Can we get something to eat? I’m starving.” Garbriel started the car at the mention of her starving. Then again, how could she have an appetite to eat when her fiancé was in such a terrible condition? Gabriel was searching for answers, but Maeve was not giving any, and when they arrived at the restaurant, she was eating as if starved and as if nothing had

“They should be processed to court and jailed. I would get someone to fake their death while helping them to escape from prison so they’d live a new life,” Dylan said thoughtfully. It was not easy for him to get people he could trust to carry out his dirty deals, so he had very good plans for them, even when things didn't go as planned.Whereas Sandra was still concerned about the financial aspect. “That is going to be too expensive.” Dylan had a smile on his face. It was just unfortunate that he could not move around as he wished due to the pain induced when he did. “This case would take at least two months. I told my lawyer to drag it for that long, and I would have been married to Maeve by then.” Sandra’s smile froze. It was in the plan to marry Maeve, but hearing it again, she felt a little uncomfortable by the way Dylan’s eyes lit up when he talked about it. Usually, his eyes would dull with some form of disgust. “She only came to visit a few times. Do you think she’d agree

The weekend at home was boring without Gabriel coming to visit, and Maeve had lost interest in her favorite swimming activity. She wondered how she never realized how much Gabriel meant to her in her past life because his being away was like taking a part of her along with him. Dylan could still not walk by himself, so Maeve had plenty of freedom. Giving her parents an excuse, she went to visit Doreen. This time around, she drove there by herself without her spy driver noticing. Gladly, Doreen was glad to see her. “Maeve, how are you?” Doreen asked with a surprised smile when she opened the door. She had slept late, thereby waking up late as well. She was just doing some chores when her doorbell rang. “I’m very fine,” Maeve walked in and hugged Doreen whiles she spoke. She looked around and realized that Dexter’s pictures had been taken down but did not immediately comment on them. Doreen was finishing up her cleaning whiles she spoke, “Gabby told me what he did to Dylan. I guess
Gosh!!! Addicted to my CEO Ex-Husband Chapter 32 - Please call and tell them to cancel the trip
Gabriel went to give some instructions to his new secretary, Gloria. Reaching there, he realized that he had left his phone on his desk and returned to pick it up since there were some contacts he had to give her. Knowing that Maeve was on a call, he opened the door gently to not distract her. “Yeah, you are right. I can’t wait for us to get married, but I still have to watch the scam. What if he tells my dad to refuse our plans to get married?” “Dylan, I chose you over him, and I’m wearing your ring when his is in the sewage. You are the only man I love.” Maeve was facing the French windows behind Gabriel’s desk, so her back was turned, and she did not see nor hear it when Gabriel entered. Hearing those words from her and knowing they were to Dylan, Gabriel felt his legs shaky, and he closed the door without picking up the phone like he had wanted to do before. He returned to reception and told the secretary, “I will send them to you later.” The secretary nodded her head, not kn

“Please call and tell them to cancel the trip. Tell them you have to take care of me. Please Mom and Dad, I need you here with me.” Reginald and Cynthia were confused about their daughter’s behavior. They knew her to always be non-serious about the company, saying that Dylan would take care of it but for a few weeks, she has been serious. Now, she was sick, and as much as they wanted to be there for her, she was an adult so a doctor could be called to take care of her, and with her maid around, they could go on their business trip and come back. Whereas the desperation in her voice made Reginald and Cynthia helpless but indeed, their daughter’s life mattered more to them than any money in the world and Maeve had paled so much suddenly, it scared them. Reginald tried calling his counterparts to tell them about the change of plans but the call was not going through, which could mean they had already reached the airport and were waiting in the private jet. Not only were Reginald and
Gosh!!! Addicted to my CEO Ex-Husband Chapter 34 – She hates Dylan with her soul
Gabriel’s detective instinct was already up because Reginald and his wife, who were Maeve’s parents, were supposed to be on that jet. Suddenly, he felt that Maeve was not sick and was also feeling that there was more to all the suggestions she kept giving him. “No, but we lost the pilot and an expensive painting. I told Vincent to drive to the airport to stop them when I could not reach them by phone but I guess he didn’t go. Luckily, I copied them in the email I sent to the investors to cancel the meeting so they alighted from the jet and instructed the pilot to take the painting.” Gabriel knew that if it had something to do with Vincent, then Dylan was involved but since he did not have all the proof yet, he said seriously, “he should be arrested.” Gabriel was determined to get to the bottom of this plane crash. “Hannah said he ran out of the house as soon as she told him that I wanted to see him. Maeve was also not sick. It was as if she knew this was going to happen,” Reginald

Gabriel froze, as regret filled his eyes. He could not say that she was lying because she was drunk. No person would tell lies when drunk and he was sure that Maeve would not remember anything when she woke up the next morning. She looked depressed and heartbroken so if it wasn’t because of Dylan and Sandra, then who? Also, she broke up with Gabriel because of Dylan so what changed? And why was she still with Dylan and wearing his engagement ring if she hated him as much as she said? “Then why are you with him?” Gabriel asked her. Maeve was drowsy so she was about to lean against the bar counter when Gabriel pulled her towards him, so his head was resting against his chest. He was standing while she sat on the bar stool so that was the most comfortable position for her. “I just want to recover everything he stole and make him pay for messing with me. For messing with my head and making me think that he cared about me. For making me sign the divorce papers and embarrassing you." She

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
Gosh!!! Addicted to my CEO Ex-Husband Chapter 106 - She's two weeks pregnant!
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
Gosh!!! Addicted to my CEO Ex-Husband Chapter 104 - Oh Gab, what would I have done without you?
“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. Tell me what you want, and I wil

"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
