“Help me!”Maeve screamed from unbearable pain. Her contractions were now unbearable but she forcefully dragged herself from her bedroom, looking everywhere for her husband, Dylan Grayson.“Darling, please help!”She screamed but was only met with the echoes of the room. She scrambled for her phone, thinking that Dylan had gone to get her special morning salad as always. Picking her phone with shaky hands and before she dialed the number, she heard laughter from downstairs. ‘Thank God, perhaps it’s the maids or even Dylan,’ Maeve thought in her mind. She was surprised that the maids had not even come to check on her like they always did and Dylan. He always brought her morning salad by now so why was he not here when she needed him the most? Masking her pain, she rose to her feet and stuttered to the door before another painful contraction kicked in, she groaned, her face beaded with sweat before she yelled again,“Help me please!”The sound of laughter echoed once more and she fe
Maeve’s eyes opened, as she gasped for air. Where was she? Was it true that there was life after death? Then why did her surroundings look familiar? Oh, she was in her room. Strangely, she did not feel the pain from before. What a bad dream or was it a nightmare? Then how could it be so real? She was confused. Just then, there was a knock on the door, and a maid entered after.“Ma’am, Mr. Gabriel Scott signed the divorce papers.”Maeve was in a trance. Those words sounded familiar, like she had heard them before and she recalled being so happy but now, she was soulless and the realization drove her crazy. The universe heard her cry and gave her a second chance and she couldn’t ask for more, but this was not good timing. Gabriel already signed the divorce papers. The man who she thought was an enemy to her was the one who truly loved her.Instinctively, she held her belly. It was flat, as if the nine months heavy pregnancy she carried before, never existed.Even though she had alread
Maeve did not know how to get out of this. She always went everywhere with Vincent in her past life but now that her eyes were opened and she wanted Gabriel Scott back, she wanted to go in a taxi, so Gabriel would be forced to drive her everywhere she went. She bit her lower lip a little too hard, it was painful, turning from pink to red before she turned around with another smile to mask her agitation.“I don’t think it’s a good idea today.”“Why not?” Dylan scowled, not willing to let her go without Vincent watching and reporting her movements to him. “I can’t let you be with that scum by yourself. What if he does something crazy and hurts you? You know I can’t afford that!”Care lined his features so well that should Maeve not have had the experience of a second chance, she would have fallen for it like before.“You know that I love you so much. I can’t stand anything bad happening to you,” Dylan spoke lovingly, walking over and caressing her cheek. He leaned in, about to plant
Earlier“Don’t come to me crying again, Doreen, I don’t have time for this,” Gabriel sneered at his sister. “You are not being fair, Gabby. I begged you for a solution and all you do is push me away.” Doreen was pathetic. She was in love with her boss who gave her no attention and countless times, she had come crying on his shoulders.Her friendship with Maeve ended before they graduated from college because she made it hard for Dylan to penetrate through Maeve.For that reason, Dylan planned with Sandra and while he went to confront Doreen, his posture sent the wrong message which Sandra captured on camera and showed to Maeve.She explained that Doreen had eyes on Dylan and had even asked him out. The picture spoke volumes so Maeve believed it and after confronting Doreen, their friendship ended and she began giving Gabriel the cold shoulders too.“I already gave you a solution.”Gabriel was annoyed to visit this topic again. He was tired of it and he hated women throwing themselve
Samantha paled. She could not believe that her boss was chastising her because of Maeve, the woman who openly called him a scum, social climber, and gold digger. Gabriel Scott was every woman’s dream and Samantha has had a crush on him from the moment she set eyes on him but all he ever cared about was Maeve. When Maeve embarrassed him some weeks ago, Samantha thought he would have nothing to do with her but here he was, questioning her because of the same woman. No wonder Dylan said that Gabriel was blind. “Mr. Scott, she doesn’t suit you and she has no right to be around you,” Samantha bit her lower lips after saying those words and Gabriel’s chiseled jaw clenched. He was not happy about what Maeve did but to him but that was between them and he was not expecting his secretary to be disrespectful toward Maeve. “And that is by whose judgment?” He asked in a chilly tone which made Samantha shiver. However, this was her chance to keep Maeve away from her boss. “We all saw how she
Maeve’s eyes darkened from annoyance before she recalled her from her past life and her jaws clenched. At that time, she did not care about the women who got close to Gabriel because she just didn’t care but now, something inside of her could not allow it, even if Mildred was Gabriel’s childhood friend and one of his biggest clients. But then again, could she be the woman Gabriel got married to? The mysterious wife? Maeve tried to see her ring finger but from where she sat, she could not see it, leaving her miserable. “Mildred, what brings you here? Can’t you see I’m in a meeting?” Gabriel pushed her away and said seriously. Mildred Hill was his childhood friend and they were quite close but he never felt anything for her beyond friendship. Mildred had made his intentions known to him but that even put him off and he put her in her place. They were still friends but he knew that she was still obsessed with him. Mildred pouted and sat on a chair in front of Gabriel since Maeve sat o
“You are not disgusted by being here in my office? What changed your mind? You were never interested in using your certificate after school. You said that Dylan would take care of everything,” Gabriel reminded her. He was tired of this person he was seeing before him, feeling as if she was mocking him. After all, he had gotten used to her insolence, finding her good-girl attitude rather cunning. “Maybe I decided to get serious with business, just like my mother. Is it wrong to want to do things myself instead of allowing a man to do them for me? Is it wrong for me to want to understand exactly what this business I will be inheriting is all about?” Maeve was so pitiful that it made Gabriel sorry for being suspicious of her. “Alright, you can stay.” Gabriel picked the intercom to tell Samantha to let the guests in. Samantha ushered the two men into Gabriel’s office. After picking up the empty coffee cups, she returned with four, hot cups of coffee. From the mischievous smile on he
Gabriel felt like Maeve must have hit her head on a rock and gone into comatose, where she lost the memory of who Dylan was to her but went back to the time when they used to be very good friends. The times when Gabriel wanted to tell her how he felt about her but rather wanted to wait until she graduated from college since he was two years ahead of her.Well, Dylan appeared and changed everything but now, her behavior totally changed. ‘You kept me waiting for so long,’ Reginald messaged back, the tone sounding annoyed. ‘Because she spent the whole day in my office. We literally worked together,’ Gabriel texted back before the old man relaxed and texted again, ‘That is strange but you have to be careful. She is my daughter but Dylan could use her to spy on you.’ ‘I understand. Good night, Dad.’ ‘Goodnight, son.’ Gabriel’s father was a lecturer at the university and only had a passion for academia. His bosom friend, however, was Reginald, a very good businessman who had made bill
