Mr. CEO’s Insatiable Addiction To His Feisty Ex-Wife Chapter 136
GIOVANNI’S POV It was a few minutes after the lunch break, I had just arrived in my office after going out to eat myself when I heard Leticia; my personal secretary, and another staff laughing and giggling about something. At first, their faces looked serious as they murmured something to themselves. Their actions were pissing me off so I had to stand up from my chair to go tell them off when I overheard Melissa’s name. I immediately confronted them so they had no choice but to narrate to me what had happened at the cafeteria earlier. Per what they told me it seemed Madam Gordon was here for trouble so I had to intervene. I'm aware Melissa was somehow involved with his grandson, Listowel Gordon in the past, so I wasn't much surprised to have heard she's here. Using the stairs, I made my way towards Melissa’s office. There was a deafening silence in the alley that led to Melissa’s office which I found suspicious. Just when I was about to knock on the door and enter, a shrill

MELISSA’S POV Madam Gordon lingered around, throwing unnecessary tantrums till the security caught up to her. They gripped her with a single scoop and threw her out of the office. Even though she had rained insults on me and had garnered the attention of my co-workers, I was currently relieved that she was gone. Giovanni was currently in my office, fetching for me a glass of cold water. “Here, take it. It will help calm your nerves,” he said as he offered the water to me. “Thank you,” I whispered, taking the glass of water and downing it in one gulp. I placed the empty cup on the table, my eyes still lowered as I refused to look up. I was too ashamed to even look at my boss in the eyes. Madam Gordon had spilled it all. She had explained to everyone here how I got to know Listowel and the worst part was how she had twisted the story to make me look like the bad person. My heart ached with each beat as I struggled to wipe off the memory of how my colleagues were starin

MELISSA’S POV “Our opponents will try to argue that you acquired the land without much investigation, but make sure you stick with the facts. And don't deviate from the main points.” Mr. Giovanni chipped in. His suggestion was brilliant, earning him applause from the team. I could see on the faces of our clients their increased trust in us. This really showed how brilliant Mr. Giovanni is and it made me want to learn more from him. The courtroom was quiet and tense as soon as the jury settled on their seats. We were all waiting for him to signal us to commence. Ever since I was called to the bar, today was my first day of being in an international court. What made me more excited was the fact that I was part of the debate and not just an observer. The judge finally called the plaintiff to put their point across, Giovanni stood up and started briefing the jury about the issue at hand. He skillfully presented our argument with detailed evidence and precision. Occasionally, I

LISTOWEL’S POV Melissa has been ignoring me for days now. I’ve been trying to reach out to her ever since I heard my grandma had gone to visit her at work. But I guess I was too late since she had gone on a business trip out of the country and had also refused to answer my calls nor any of my texts. Kevin informed me that she had returned this morning. That’s why I hurried to her apartment as early as I could get here. When I found out about what my grandma had done, I was mad, extremely disappointed. Not only at her but also at Melissa. She didn’t have to play it cool like how she’s doing. She should have come to me, shout at, threw things at me, blame me for not dealing with grandma once and for all. But instead, she ghosted me, shutter me out completely. But no, I wasn’t going to let her ghost me out forever. Not after everything. I was going to fight and save what we have. The love we share. I sometimes see it all in her eyes; the love, longing, desire. And as long

LISTOWEL’S POV Was it my ears or did I just hear the girl on the phone refer to Melissa as mummy? My mouth flew open under the helmet, as I tried to process what I had just heard. Mummy? All this while Melissa had a child? And I didn’t know about it? But wait…. With who? I’ve had Kevin and the others look after Melissa for a long time. If they had seen anything as such; I’m sure they would have informed me. Besides, ever since Melissa moved back to Aphrodite, no man or even anyone has visited her here before so… “No, it can’t be,” I muttered inwardly as I gripped the door handle before she could slam the door shut. She resisted, attempting to pull it away from my hold but my grip was obviously tighter and stronger than hers. Rolling her eyes at me, “What are you doing?” She snapped, still trying to yank the door away from me. “What the hell are you doing? Let go of it before I call the police!” she threatened, her eyes burning with fury. She started pushing the doo

MELISSA’S POV“I’m not stepping out of here until you explain to me what’s going on,” he snapped.Putting my hands on my waist, I let out a deep breath as I muttered, “I will explain nothing to you so save yourself some time and get out of here. As you can see, I need to eat.”He didn’t budge, he only inhaled loudly as he persisted.“How old is she?”Turning my back to him, I turned to the kitchen where I took out my food and dished it on a plate. “Melissa, answer me,” he pressed, but I couldn’t care less.When he realized I wasn’t going to talk, he sat across from me on the dining table, staring at me as I ate in silence. As soon as the last bite of food settled in my mouth, “How? Old. Is. She?” He demanded.I sat still, staring at his weary face. I couldn’t tell whether the thought of having a child had drained the color off his face that much or the fact that I was refusing to tell him more about his child. Silence engulfed the room as I sat still, refusing to answer him. “Fou

MELISSA’S POV I gazed at him, for one an exasperated sigh. I placed my hand on forehead, before saying, “Are you done here? Or do you have an another ridiculous stunt to pull?”His eyes raised and it met mine, sending knot in my throat. He looked both defeated and disappointed. “What are you talking about?” He asked. “What am I talking about?” I asked, feigning anger. Pointing to my phone screen, “The ridiculous plot of yours to use Nancy’s daughter…..,” I paused, letting the word I had just said to sink in. I couldn’t believe I have just denied my baby right now. I had just lied to Listowel just to protect my baby from being denied by him but I rather have ended up denying him.Letting out a slow stead breath, i continued, “As an excuse to enter my house without permission didn’t work, so stand up and get going..” As if he was deaf, he sat still, fumbling with his fingers. Moments later, his lips parted while he looked at me right in the eye and blurted. “I came to apologize.”

MELISSA'S POV It’s been two weeks since I accepted Listowel’s proposal to be his girlfriend. For the past few days, Listowel has been making me feel like I’m on top of the world. We’ve been hanging out a lot, having fun here and there. The kind of excitement that has been coursing through me makes me wonder if I deserve all of this happiness. Slipping my fingers through the silk scarf I was holding, I gently rolled it before wrapping it around my neck, adjusting it in such a way that it would be able to cover half of my face. From the corner of my eyes, I could see Listowel gazing at me with a mocking expression as I was checking to see if I was well-covered. He stretched his arms and reached for my hands, squeezing them as he said, “Relax baby. No one will recognize you.” Shooting him a glare, “It is easy for you to say since you are not the one who has to hide.” I said, feigning anger. "That’s why I told you that we don't have to hide. I'm ready to let the whole world kn

Wendy’s povI roamed gracefully around the department store as I checked out outfits for the little life growing inside me. Rubbing my hands on my belly, I turned to the attendant standing beside me and asked, “What do you think my baby is going to be?” She giggled to herself before she whispered, “A girl?”.The smile on my face instantly vanished, replaced with a grimace. “Are you dumb? What do you mean by a girl? Do you seriously think a girl can become CEO to a company as big as Gordon Inc!” I snapped, glaring at her from the head to toe. Terrified by my high tone, she panicked and bowed her head severally as she apologized, “I’m sorry ma’am. I didn’t think that you will be offended by that. Please forgive me. I’m sorry”Before I could even react, she went down on her knees, holding my legs as she cried, “please ma’am don’t let them fire me. I need to pay my mother’s medical expenses.” She let go of my legs and started rubbing her palms against each other so hard that if a spar

LISTOWEL’S POV A deep sense of relief washed over me as I tapped on the send button. A slow grin played at the sides of my lips as my phone started buzzing with notifications again. Yes, they must have been shocked. I doubt any of them expected the ‘high and mighty’ Wendy Macinni will open her legs for a bartender. I mean, it is not bad that she’s with him. But what makes it unbelievable is the fact Wendy thinks highly of herself and looks down on others. It is just unimaginable for her to be with the same people she disrespected. And oh, I don’t even care whether she stays with him or not. What pisses me off is the fact she’s trying all means to trap me. And that’s one thing I will never allow. I’ll rather die than have her carry my child. Even though I still don’t have the proof that she drugged me the other day, I’m certain that the baby she’s conceived is not mine. Now that I’ve got to know she’s not worth my mercies; I’m going to deal with her ruthlessly! She’s alrea

With my hands crossed over my chest I stood still beside the ceiling to floor glass windows in my office, staring at the landscape of Aphrodite. The fact that I was staring at the landscape beneath me didn’t mean I was admiring it but rather was staring plainly at without having any thoughts of it. My mind was currently a mess and it was swirling with thoughts of the unthinkable. My phone which was lying on the desk behind me was ringing incessantly with calls and notifications from the media houses, relative, business partners and bloggers. Apparently there were news circulating throughout the whole city that the next heir to Gordon Inc has been conceived so they were all reaching out to find out if it’s true. A slow smirk, a chuckle, and then a laugh laughter erupted from my lips echoed throughout my office. Even though the laugh was humorless I couldn’t stop myself from producing it. I laughed and laughed until my chest hurt. I mean, wasn’t it ridiculous enough for them

The alluring smell of hibiscus drifted through the garden as I sat in my garden, enjoying the breeze. The fine porcelain mug which contained the bitter leaf tea I was sipping swirled gently in my hands as I sipped on it.Placing down the mug, “That rude little brat!” I cursed under my breath. I couldn't believe I almost fell for her lies and actually shipped her to be the next lady of the Gordon Group.Even the thought of her makes my skin crawl. How could she have stooped so low? She really was going to hit me with the wine bottle? Wow! She wants to my grandson with such rotten manners? Over my dead body!Taking in a deep breath, I stood up and made my way into the mansion. I've baked myself enough; the rest of the sunrays has no vitamins.I reached for my phone from the dining table as I realised its been chiming with notifications for a while now. Assuming it was blog notifications, I ignored it. It is like generation only mind other peoples business for a living. There's always

WENDY’S POVI looked up at Listowel feigning tears, “You can hate me all you want. You can view me as the worst person to ever lived. But don’t forget this Lis. You’re going to be a father, Listowel. You can’t just turn your back on that.” I stated.He glared at me with for a while without uttering a word. His lips were tight, the veins on his forehead popping as if he was going to explode any time soon.He had returned back from downstairs and I could only guess things didn’t go well for him. Melissa must have pushed him away.Good. Now he knows how it feels to be rejected. Feigning pity, I moved my fingers seductively on his chest as I sobbed, “ Come to me. Let’s watch our baby grow together.”The grimace on his face deepened as soon as the words flew out of my lips. “Get your hands off me,” he growled. His low voice sounding more deadly than I anticipated. He looked like he was using all the energy in him to suppress the fury bubbling in his chest but I couldn’t care less. He

LISTOWEL’S POV My heart jumped to my throat as soon as I saw Melissa by the doorway. She was standing still, her face drained of blood as she locked eyes with me. My chest tightened and I could feel my heart aching badly as I saw her beautiful eyes turn red and then teary. No. She wasn’t supposed to hear this. Not now. Not when I was still unsure if what Wendy was saying was true. Pushing aside my desk, I sprang up to my feet and ran towards her. “Lisa….” I whispered, stretching my hands to hold her still. But before I could touch her, she took some steps back, her bloodshot eyes producing more tears than I could imagine. Her lips parted as she tried to talk but only a sorrowful sound came out. Covering her mouth, she shook her head slowly before turning to her heels. I ran after her but the elevator door closed before I could get in. When I managed to meet her downstairs, she had wiped the tears off her face, her expression hard and serious. Slowly, I approached her, prevent

WENDY’S POV Early the next morning, I returned to the mansion, the expression on my face that of anger. I was ready to scold my grandpa for his hypocrisy. But upon my return, he had already left for a meeting. He had given the keys to the maids and instructed them not to give it to me. One of the maids dared to challenge me when I demanded the key, infuriating me the more. And yeah, she was fired from working in our mansion that very day. I hate nobodies who tend to act pompous when they get little authority. With the pretense of delivering coffee, I made my way to the guest room. Luckily, Listowel was asleep so I thought to myself that I still had the chance to execute my plan. Quietly, I sneaked into the bed after undressing. My fingers trailed on the green veins lining up on his big muscles and arms. Oh, how I miss the old days! Doing this would have made him curl me up on his chest. A sudden turn he made jolted me out of my thoughts. Slowly, he sat up on t

WENDY’S POV My heart pounded rapidly in my chest as I made my way out of the restaurant. Luckily, the bodyguards my grandpa had recruited to watch after me were at the scene. They rushed in and seized the phones of the people around, threatening to sue any of them who would post it online. Sitting in my car, I let out a steady breath, trying to calm myself from the embarrassment from earlier. Gazing keenly into thin air, “Madam Gordon, harden your resolve because the next blow that's coming your way could end you paralyzed.” I gritted. Reaching for my phone, I scrolled through my contacts, looking for our family doctor’s contact. I hesitated for a split second before tapping on the green dial sign. This was the only way for me to get the upper hand. The call went through after the ring and Dr. Mensah’s voice came through the line. “Hi…” I breathe out. “It is Wendy…” “Wendy dear, how are you?” he politely asked, even though I hate it when he treats me like we ar

MELISSA’S POV The clock struck five and it was already time to close. I shut off my monitor and started arranging my desk, bringing the day's work to an end. I grabbed my bag and put in it some accessories before I stood up and adjusted my dress. From the glass windows, where I was checking myself, I could see a blue folder with a stack of documents inside. I let out a gentle sigh as I remembered what I told the owner the other day. I remember telling Listowel that I was gonna give it to a dispatch rider to deliver it to him but there here it was, still lying on my desk as if all the riders in town were on holiday. Well, I changed my mind at the last minute and decided to go give it to him in person. Yes. Yes. I know. I know that seeing him often was gonna disrupt my healing journey but….. I forced a chunk down my guts as I inched closer to pick it up. These documents seem to be important and it'll be thoughtless of me to leave them in the hands of a random rider. Wha
