Cough! Cough! Dylan could not believe it until his eyes darted to both Maeve and Gabriel’s ring fingers and upon closer look, the hickeys were not hidden. “You married him?” His tone was a blend of anger and betrayal. Sandra was so shocked; she lifted her head. “They are both wearing a ring. When did they get married?” Dylan felt pain like never before. He was hoping to beg Maeve to give him a second chance, as he was planning to dump Sandra but it seemed that Gabriel won after all. It was just like when Maeve divorced Gabriel and agreed to marry him. If only he had been smarter in everything, especially with Sandra. They should have ended their relationship throughout the times Dylan was trying to get married to Maeve. How could he have known that Maeve would outsmart them with something so unpredictable? Dylan did not realize it until a tear dropped from his eyes. Maeve smiled and asked, “Where are your phones? I was wondering why you both missed our wedding.” Dylan was
“It’s true, she bought him a car.” Sandra gawked at the Rolls Royce Boat Tail with envy, of how Maeve spent so much just to make Gabriel happy. All along, Sandra thought that Gabriel would rather be the one spoiling Maeve but it was the opposite. Maeve had shifted all her generosity to Gabriel and it was very painful for Sandra to bear. Dylan was equally pained but also angry. “All along, she was counter-attacking us. Her money was never invested as she said. We messed up, Sandra, this car should have rightfully been mine,” Dylan’s expression sank. He should have known that there was a problem when Maeve stopped being so generous to him. “And her father’s mansion would have equally been mine,” Sandra spoke in a covetous tone before asking, “How did she know?” “It doesn’t matter anymore. We just have to get a lot of money and run away,” Dylan said with conviction. The only advantage he thought to have over Gabriel was Maeve but now that he lost Maeve, he was afraid of what Gab
A few hours later “I insist it’s not a good idea for us to keep them in the company,” Reginald said seriously. Gabriel and Maeve were having dinner with her parents, Reginald and Cynthia. After explaining everything to Reginald, he was still furious and could not allow both Dylan and Sandra to work with the Cambridges. “Dad, it’s the only way we can get them to go to prison. The only person who can testify that they were responsible for the plane crash is in a coma so this is our only chance,” Gabriel added his voice to what Maeve had told her father. Reginald trusted him more concerning Sandra and Dylan, for which reason he was beginning to make the consideration. “And you want me to promote Sandra?” He asked seriously, trying to get a better understanding of everything and Gabriel gave him a nod. “Precisely.” Dinner was great because Gabriel advised Maeve to hold on until they had finished eating. At the moment, they were only discussing under glasses of wine. “Maeve is th
“Is she willing to go with you?” Ethan pursed his lips thoughtfully before he answered, hoping that Gabriel would help to put in a word for him. “That is another problem and the reason why I was waiting for you to come and talk to her.” “What exactly happened?” Gabriel asked, not comfortable with this strange thing. “Nothing. She is an interesting girl and I like her a lot. Look, I want to start something with her but she has never been in any relationship before so I want to take things slow but I don’t think that long distance would help. I want her by my side,” Ethan explained. He understood that Hannah was a special girl and was not like any girl he ever dated or married but Gabriel was concerned about his busy life in San Francisco since the only things that brought Ethan to him were heartbreaks. This was the only time that a joyful occasion brought them together. He was concerned for his best friend and wanted him to be happy but he was equally concerned for his special m
At the showroom, Doreen was attending to an early customer when a sophisticated woman walked in. One of the sales girls went to attend to her but she refused, saying, “I want her to attend to me,” Pointing at Doreen. A frown lined Doreen’s face, discerning that her day was not going to be good as soon as she saw the new customer, Dexter’s ex. Sue did not want anyone else except Doreen to attend to her which meant that she either wanted to have a talk with her or cause trouble for her. Doreen was ready for both. “She’s already attending to another customer,” the sales girl said to Sue, not wanting to miss out on the commission. Sales at the Scott Automobiles have been so booming and ninety percent of clients who walked in, walked out with a car of their choice or something better. Some also did not get what they wanted but something within their budget. “Then I will wait,” Sue insisted, going around and checking the cars in the showroom. She was patient enough to wait until D
Maeve smiled at the way Gabriel was handling the situation and the way Sue looked like a lost sheep wearing designer clothes. “You heard me and you slapped her first so, will you buy the car or should I press charges against you?” Gabriel asked coldly. He knew that Doreen must have slapped Sue because the latter slapped her first, knowing that Doreen would not be the first to release a slap.At the same time, a familiar person walked into the showroom. His presence gave Sue hope and she asked him, “Dexter, thank goodness you are here. Can you explain to Mr. Scott that it was just a misunderstanding?” She already guessed that Doreen had informed Dexter for which reason he was there, and put it that way but Dexter’s cold glare was on the same level with that of Gabriel, as Sue began to tremble from it. “A what?” Dexter snarled. “You slap my fiancé and call it a misunderstanding?” He asked calmly before turning to Gabriel, “Mr. Scott, are you pressing charges or should I do so?”
Maeve and Gabriel’s mother disappeared to the kitchen and Doreen followed later with the men chatting excitedly in the living room. This was the first time in years that Gabriel and his father sat together to chat with smiles and no worries. Also, their mother was the happiest they ever saw her. “Gabriel, I still can’t forgive myself for all the negative things I said about Maeve but you are also to blame. You should not have kept it from me,” his father said with remorse, Gabriel smiled and responded, “At that time, I didn’t even know that she would come back to me. I equally thought I had lost her but everything changed when she got drunk one night and confessed everything to me,” Gabriel recalled to his father’s delight and went on to say, “She didn’t remember the things she had said the next day but I already took advantage of everything and told her that I was not married. That was when she confessed everything and I told her I would wait for her to complete her revenge proc
At Cambridge Incorporated, Sandra and Dylan’s office, three hours after closing time. The embarrassment they faced in a company where they used to receive maximum respect was taunting. The promotion Sandra got, even felt undeserved and it earned her no respect, even from her Subordinates. Earlier that day Dylan and Sandra arrived at the office, surprised to receive an attitude, right from the underground car park, where they pulled over after their arrival. “The cheating couple have the guts to show their face in the office,” one of their subordinates said. Sandra was about to respond when Dylan stopped her, “It won’t stop. Let’s just endure it,” he said in a whisper. Remembering that they needed the money to escape, Sandra did not have a choice but to agree. Their lives were already terrible because of how their pictures and videos were still circulating on the media waves. This affected them badly in that, the sex they used to enjoy before, he did not even have the desire
