Gabriel was worried about Doreen for her betterment because she still hadn't stopped crying at night and covering her face with makeup in the morning.

If Dexter would see her without makeup, then he would understand the depth to which she was damaged because of him.

Dexter could not be blamed since he was not aware and had not made any promises to Doreen but since he came after she had left, Gabriel wanted to have this serious talk with him.

‘If you want to see her, she is here in this office but I am concerned about your concern because I would not do what you are doing for any of my staff.’

Gabriel’s serious words kept ringing in Dexter’s mind like a bell. His steps were slow but he made it to the chair in front of Gabriel and sat down, since he mentioned that Doreen was in the office. It meant that Gabriel had an inner room or Doreen was in the washroom.

Since she was the reason why Dexter was there, he decided to talk with Gabriel, as he was also surprised that Doreen had such

Author’s note: I wish to thank you for your amazing support for this book. I have run out of my draft stockpile, for which reason updates are being delayed. While I build up my stock pile, I will not be updating during the last two days of this month because I will be doing it for my two ongoing books. When that is done, updates would always come at the same time every day. Thank you for understanding.

  • Gosh!!! Addicted to my CEO Ex-Husband   Chapter 42 – It's true that I have feelings for you

    Doreen raked her mind to find a suitable excuse. She got one, not knowing if it was good enough. “They were from magazines.” Dexter laughed and Doreen felt embarrassed. He felt the texture and knew those pictures were not from magazines. Besides, from which magazine could one get so many pictures of Dexter alone? Dexter was a businessman and not a model. “And they are all my pictures?” Doreen felt awkward at the way he caught her lies so fast. “I have work to do. There is a lot of pressure with sales.” She was about to stand when Dexter held her by the hand across the conference table. Doreen stiffened as if his touch burned her, and she quickly withdrew her hand. Dexter was lavishing in the warmth of her hand and when she withdrew it, he was saddened but also grateful that she did not leave like she wanted. “Doreen, please. Be honest with me for this once. Do you feel anything for me? I mean, forget that I was once your boss. Did you perhaps feel any attraction towards me?” H

    A small smile curled up Dexter’s lips and he returned to sit in front of her. Doreen suddenly lost all her confidence when his dark gaze met her green eyes. It was too late to take back her words as a result of the expectation she created in his mind so she went on to narrate, “Remember when you bought your first customized car? I was there on an internship program and that was when I first saw you and also felt attracted to you.” Dexter recalled when he bought his first customized car from the factory and that was two years ago. Doreen must have been in college by then. “I researched about you and found where you worked so after my graduation, I decided to work for you, as your secretary, so I’d be close to you but you already had one.” “Your HR Manager said my performance was good and she could not let me go so that was how I got the job of a Quality control officer but that was not enough to get me close to you so I befriended your secretary.” Doreen guzzled, blushing from em

    Doreen went back to Gabriel’s office after making another sale of the new customer who came right after Dexter left. He asked her on a date but she refused to accept because she was holding on to thin hope.Today was magical. Unexpectedly, everything turned out well. They did not conclude on anything and yet, they had a mutual relationship. It was better than nothing. She could not wait to download everything for her brother and Maeve.Getting there, she rattled everything like a little girl recounting her thrilling day to her parents. “In the end, he bought a car. So, I made two sales this morning. I think I love the sales department. So much commission,” Doreen sighed before her ass hit the chair.All through her narration, she was standing on her feet in her high heels. No matter how much she was beginning to love sales, Gabriel did not intend to keep her there for long since she could handle bigger responsibilities. For now, there was a lot of pressure in the showroom so it was f

    “Gab, I want you. I don’t want you to stop.” Maeve’s eyes were pleading, her body burning with unrelinquished desire. Gabriel stared intently at her with eyes burning with the same level of desire, if not more. The desire to possess and take everything that he felt belonged to him. Maeve held his gaze stubbornly, refusing for this moment to pass them by. When Gabriel did not attempt to honor her words, she held his hand and walked him to the bed. Maeve lowered herself to the bed, taking a sitting position with an unwavering gaze on him. When she let go of his hand, she quickly removed her blazer and was about to unbutton her shirt when Gabriel lowered himself to sit beside her and held her hand, stopping her actions. Maeve was embittered, as her eyes turned teary. “You won’t do it?” she asked in a teary voice, it stung Gabriel’s heart and he pulled her to his chest. Gabriel did not want to make her feel bad but neither could he hide it from her since she asked about it. He had n

    “Don’t play smart without me Maeve, you are being punished for divorcing me.” Maeve caught the amusement in his eyes, not knowing whether to be happy or sad. She wanted him so badly, and he was going to punish her…“Gab please, just once. I want you to make me yours.” She could see the desire in his eyes and yet, he was controlling it all because he wanted to punish her. Gabriel explained his reasons, “You are already mine Maeve, but if I give you everything, what will be your motivation to marry me again?” He was caressing her hair, staring at her as if waiting for an answer. Maeve gulped. This was indeed a punishment because he wanted to marry her quickly. But Maeve was too desirous of him and could not wait until she broke up with Dylan. Suddenly, her eyes lit up how she tried to beat him at his own game. Pouting, she asked in return, “Gab, what if you are not able to satisfy me after marriage? Say, you are not able to last long?” Gabriel frowned imperceptibly and almost clai

    “Dylan,” Maeve answered and put her phone on speaker. She no longer had anything to hide. Dylan’s desperate voice rang from the end of the line, “Maeve, where are you? You aren’t home yet.” Maeve pursed her lips and looked at Gabriel. His hands were relaxed on the steering wheel and he glanced at her with a nod, encouraging her that it was okay. No matter what? Maeve was concerned about how he felt because of how she hurt him so much in the past, she never wanted to do anything to see him in any kind of agony. “Are you in my house?” She asked suspiciously and Dylan responded, “Well, I missed you and came to check on you.” He did not want to voice that he saw a picture of her and Gabriel in a house when they were supposed to be in the office. The picture got him so upset, he literally ran out of his house to his car to drive to Maeve’s house to confirm it. Maeve took a deep breath and relaxed. “I’m on my way home. I went to help Gabriel with a surprise for his mom. I got tired a

    “Sir, a parcel from Miss Millicent Binney.” Gloria was all smiles, while she held out the big box with a blue ribbon to her boss, suddenly feeling her arm aching when he did not attempt to take it from her. Maeve recalled Millicent Binney from her past life. She inherited one of the best private schools from her parents and was now running it herself. She was rich but not half as rich as Maeve and she was also pretty but Maeve felt herself prettier. Sadly, she could not remember Millicent’s relationship with Gabriel back then, since she hated him and always tried to keep her distance from him. Still, the fact that Millicent sent Garvin a gift could only mean she was one of the women chasing Maeve’s man. She and Gabriel were still at the reception and she saw Gabriel smile, making her heart tighten in her chest a little. Before she asked why, Gabriel asked his secretary. “Gloria, do you have a boyfriend?” His expression was unreadable so not even Maeve could guess the reason why

    Gabriel’s phone began to ring but it was an unknown number. For some reason, he answered and put the phone on speaker since Maeve was there and it didn’t look like a business call. “Hello.” “Gabriel, did you receive my parcel?” A female voice rang from the end of the line and he quickly guessed it was Millicent but still asked, “Who is this?” “It's me, Millicent. I left a note in there for you,” she responded in a cheerful tone. Maeve was smiling all through while Doreen was amazed by her brother’s transparency with Maeve. Little did she know it was because of the seed Maeve planted. She was transparent with him concerning Dylan so he also did not have a choice. “Really, what was it about?” Gabriel asked in a neutral tone. “Sorry, I forgot you are still in the office. You will most probably only open it when you get home. Anyway, the parcel is my way of thanking you for the car you advised me to buy but there is also some attire for you to wear to my elder sister’s wedding as my

  • Gosh!!! Addicted to my CEO Ex-Husband   EPILOGUE

    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

  • 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

  • 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

  • Gosh!!! Addicted to my CEO Ex-Husband   Chapter 102 - Died? Tell me how?”

    “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
