“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   Chapter 50 – Gabriel doesn’t give up.

    Gabriel was about to let some partners into his office for a meeting when his phone rang. The number was not familiar and he was tempted to think it was Millicent before kicking against it and deciding to answer the phone.Again, he pressed the speaker button but Maeve was not paying attention since she was getting the documents they needed for the meeting together."Mr. Scott, I would like to have a discussion with you concerning your sister, Doreen," a familiar voice invaded his eardrums, which got Maeve curious as well."Mr. Gray, is there a problem?" Gabriel asked seriously since he mentioned Doreen. He also recognized the voice from the last time they met.Dexter was not ready to say it on the phone. He always preferred speaking face-to-face on important matters. "If you don’t mind, I will like to buy you lunch if you are not too busy."Gabriel remembered his promise to Maeve about how he was going to stop Dylan from trying to make advances toward her and thought of using this o

    “Dylan, my business hasn’t been good ever since I changed the face of my brand. I hate to say it but Maeve’s pictures were selling well,” Sandra complained with a pout. Dylan sighed, not knowing what to say and careful to not offend her due to how she kept suspecting that he was developing feelings for Maeve. “Perhaps you should go and talk to her. You are cousins,” he suggested. Sandra knew that too. She should have gone to talk to Maeve when the latter felt suspicious of her and Dyla but due to the jealousy, hate, and envy she felt towards her cousin, she did not want to. Whereas for things not working out for her after Maeve stopped wearing her brands, she began to think about swallowing her pride and doing the needful. “I thought about it too but I just hate her,” she seethed, Dylan frowned a little. He was beginning to love Maeve but could not tell her cousin. “But you need her and I’m going to get married to her right after the birthday party,” There was an excitement tha

    Maeve tried to think of the reason why Sandra would come to look for her but then she remembered what Dylan told her that Sandra had made a dress and she guessed that that was it. Instantly, a cunning idea rushed into her mind and she stared at Gabriel, who was patiently waiting for her response. “Don’t you think we should hear what she has to say?” Maeve asked with a mischievous smile. Doreen caught Maeve's tone that she was up to something. They were best friends for ages before Sandra came between them so she could already guess that Maeve was up to no good concerning Sandra. As such, she wanted to wait and enjoy the show too.“Maeve, please tell him to allow me to eat here for just this once. I know that you are up to something but I’m keeping the ‘you are not my friend’ part.” Gabriel shook his head at his sister’s mischief and knowing from the look in Maeve’s eyes that she was going to put in a word for Doreen, he quickly said t

    Sandra had spent money bribing a few people when she arrived here with the hope that Maeve would pay for it by purchasing the dress but if Dylan agrees to pay, Sandra could kiss her money goodbye, knowing that Dylan did not have it to give her.Maeve never asked Dylan for anything since they began dating. It has always been the other way round so this was unexpected and the money Dylan had was already budgeted for compensation, whereas it was not even enough. The nervous clearing of the throat was heard from the end of the line before Dylan’s smiley voice was heard. It was evident that he was pretending. “Ehmm…sure, sure, anything for you, sweetheart. Can I talk to Sandra?” Maeve smiled, “Sure you can. The phone is on speaker. “Sandra,” Dylan called out and she frowned in annoyance before responding, “Dylan.” “You can leave the dress with Maeve. I will transfer the money into your account,” Dylan said confidently like it was nothing but his heart ached for it. If he and Sandra k

    “Maeve, what are you planning this time?” Gabriel was the first to recover from the shock and asked. Maeve smiled, not expecting him to understand the depth of her obsession with him. “Oh Gab, I can’t wait another second to become your wife again after dealing with the asshole so it has to be on the same day.” Gabriel smiled. He was pleased but there was also a big problem with this arrangement. The fact that Gabriel hated to share and did not want to share his big day with the likes of Dylan.“You know me Maeve, I won’t compromise on my wedding and I don’t want drama because of my caliber of guests. Let’s arrange it for a week after.” “Then invitations would go out and people would get suspicious,” Maeve responded, not knowing how to explain it in detail without ruining the surprise she was planning. Gabriel was more confused about the part of the invitation, asking seriously, “Maeve, are you saying that I’m not supposed to invite anyone?” Maeve chuckled. “I will handle the gue

    The next day, Dylan arrived in the office and immediately went to knock on Reginald’s door. “Come in.” Dylan opened the door and Reginald smiled and said, “Dylan, have a seat.” Dylan sat and Reginald continued to say, “Your being here means there is a problem.” Dylan was smiling like a fool when all he wanted to do to the man in front of him was strangle him for not being on board that private jet and how he was investigating the plane crash seriously with Gabriel, making Dylan powerless. He was also internally annoyed by the way Reginald addressed him by name when he always addressed Gabriel as a son. “Not really. I want to talk about my marriage to Maeve.” Reginald was displeased but successfully masked it with a smile. “I see. So, what have you decided?” He already heard the rumors and was hoping for Maeve to call off the stupid engagement, especially after Gabriel said that she was being a good girl. “I am setting our wedding date to a week after your birthday,” Dylan revea

    “Dylan, are you stupid?” How could you sign a prenup?” Sandra was so mad and began to berate Dylan in his office as soon as he broke the news to her. Dylan was equally annoyed but he had a plan. “It was necessary.” The main reason for this marriage was the money so what was the essence of going ahead with it without it? “Don’t marry her if all you will get is nothing even after eliminating her.” “We could force her to sign off everything to us before we eliminate her,” he said thoughtfully since he did not want to end the wedding. “As soon as we eliminate her father, she would become vulnerable.” His suggestion calmed Sandra but she hated the delay. “Okay but how long would it take? The marriage is supposed to last for only six months.” Dylan was getting annoyed by her incessant questions and baseless suggestions, “Let’s get through with the marriage first so why don’t we begin to plan the wedding? I have to bring Maeve over to shop at your clothing store for the wedding.” San

    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
