Mr. CEO’s Insatiable Addiction To His Feisty Ex-Wife Chapter 14
MELISSA’S POV“What is that supposed to mean?” I asked, rolling my eyes as I turned back to shoot him a deadly glare. All this while, I have been trying to keep my cool. Despite the anger brewing inside me, I’ve been doing everything I could to refrain myself from lashing out at him.But he didn't seem to notice, he didn't seem to realize how annoying and irritating his actions towards me were. I mean, why the sudden possessiveness? Why does he think he has the right to keep me by his side? Wasn't he the same person who disposed of me like a worthless tissue, just so he could reunite with his lover? I stared at him sharply with disgust, as if he wasn't the very person I once would have sacrificed everything to see. The corner of his lips jerked mockingly, showing off how amused he was by my little retaliation. In a tone that sounded more of a threat than a mere inquiry, he asked,“You work under me now, don’t you?” “You might be the CEO or whatever but I don't work under you” I s

LISTOWEL’S POVWaiting for her to start working at Gordon Inc. felt like an eternity. The director of M&M had called to tell me about her objection to working at my company. I could only convince them to stand by their decision till she gave in. I know this is selfish of me but that's the only way I would get close to her again. Judging from how hard she pushed me away the other day, during the legal hour conference, I could tell she wanted nothing to do with me. But no, I wasn’t going to allow that. I almost jumped around like a child in excitement when I was informed she had finally to work at my company. Earlier this morning, I had come to work early. I wanted to make sure everything was in place and that everyone was doing their jobs. I went round to inspect my staff. I want her to be working in an environment conducive enough for her to seldom think of quitting or resigning. As I strolled to the hundreds of employees on each of the 52 floors, I couldn't help but smile at how

A gentle voice echoed through the parking lot, causing Gloria, Collins, and Maxwell to turn their heads toward its direction. A lady in an official dress approached us from the other end. It was Jessica, the receptionist from earlier. “Yes, yes, I almost forgot, what do you think about it, Miss Muggins?” Yaw asked, his eyes gleaming with excitement. They all turned to look at me, probably anticipating my response. Their eager gazes met mine and for some seconds, I couldn't think straight, but I was too tired and only wanted to go home and sleep. “Ouuu… I’m so sorry, can we make it tomorrow? I have some stuff to take care of at home,” I replied, avoiding their disappointed stares. “Alright, no problem, tomorrow it is then.” Maxwell, the only one who seemed aged and mature among us, responded. “Alright miss, have a nice evening then,” Gloria said.“See you tomorrow, see you tomorrow,” we all said to each other as we bid ourselves goodbye before dispersing to board our various ride

MELISSA’S POV Chrystal! What’s wrong?” I exclaimed, my eyes almost bulging out of their sockets as my breath hung in the air, silently praying that she was okay. “Mummy, my tablet just broke!” she replied, whimpering. “Oh my God Crystal, did you have to scream like that? Mummy almost passed out of shock!” “I’m… I'm sorry mummy, it is. it’s… just that I love this tablet so much. It has lots of games on it and now it’s acting up”. “What happened? How did it break” I asked, a bit relieved that he “My juice just poured on it and the screen is acting up,” she explained. “Don’t worry, sweetheart, mummy will get you a new one tomorrow. Okay?” “Okay mummy…” Alright, now get a tissue and wipe the juice off the floor. You can do that right? “Yes mummy” she exclaimed in excitement. My baby girl is literally my whole world and buying her things she loves is the least of the things I will do for her sake. “I will get it repaired tomorrow for her tomorrow, don’t worry”

LISTOWEL’S POVThe continuous ringing of my phone’s tone caused my blood boil. Is she f**king dumb? Can't she read the room? Leaving her messages read without a reply should definitely tell her something! Why does she still keep on calling? My eyes darted around, searching around to find the phone I had tossed aside earlier. I closely followed the sound of the ringing tone after failing to spot the exact place it fell. The sound led me under the sofa, moving my palms on the cool tiled floor, I finally found and grabbed it up. The call had hung up when I got off hold of the phone. I was about to call her back when her call came through again. Rolling my eyes, I answered. “Hey Lis!” Wendy’s forced-thin voice called from the other side of the phone. “What’s up?” I asked, my voice cold and distant. “Do you have to ask in such a cold tone? Did I do something wrong? Is it bec—” “Tell me why you called?” I demanded, cutting her off before she could start nagging. “Cool, are you up fo

LISTOWEL’S POV I sat in my office gleaming with smiles. Ever since I resumed my position as the CEO of Gordon Inc. years ago, I must say; It is only today that I feel like my authority has been well utilized. The idea that had flashed in my mind last night was about to be visualized in a few minutes from now. I must have been thinking so low of myself, to have forgotten that I have some aspects of this company under control and at my fingertips. I leaned in my chair, swinging left and right; back and fro, impatiently waiting for the clock to hit 9 AM. Melissa was going to present her proposal in a few minutes and I’m going to prove to her that I’m in charge here. And whether she works in a different department other than mine, she's got to realize that she works directly or indirectly under me and for me. An unconscious grin formed at the sides of my lips as the clock ticked nine. I stood up from my seat and straightened the edges of my sleeve before wiping the very dirt on my sh

LISTOWEL’S POVWithout a flinch, she took the remote, turned to face the screen, and turned on the projector. Momentarily, the screen lit up, displaying the slides that bore her proposal. “Good morning and welcome everyone. I'm Melissa Muggins, the just appointed attorney for Gordon Inc”, she introduced herself to the rest of the board members who were keenly listening to her. Gesturing towards Yaw, who was standing a few metres away from her, she said, “I’m here today with my associate, Consul Yaw Agyei and together we are presenting, The Legal Landscape of Copyright Enhancement and Protection”. She gracefully went through each slide, her sweet voice melodiously filling my ears as she outlined her proposal. She seriously avoided contact with my eyes and always looked past me but that didn't stop me from looking at her. I watched her closely, nodding from time to time as if I wasn't here just so I would feel her presence. From the little I heard, I admitted in my head that she

LISTOWEL’S POVHer blood shot eyes snapped at me as soon as the last word flew out my my mouth. Her eyes were red and it mirrored something in them. Something vulnerable, more like she's been hurt. My chest churned in regret at as I stared at those pitiful eyes. I instantly regretted my actions. “Gosh, I shouldn't have done that. I shouldn't have embarrassed her like that I front of all those people,” I thought to myself.Oh how stupid I am, I'm supposed to warm her heart but here I am, causing her pain instead. My hands instinctively reached out to touch hers, to console her, to somehow explain that I really didn't mean to hurt her. But her expression instantly turned into disgust as soon my hands felt hers. Her soft pitiful face instantly vanished, replaced with a feist expression. Her brows furrowed in annoyance and before I could utter a word she yanked my hands away from hers. “Is it really fun? Do you despise me that much to the extent of ruining my first presentation here

WENDY’S POV “I suspect Melissa coerced Listowel into throwing me out. She was already standing in front of Listowel’s office when I got there. I’m very certain, this was her doing….” “Mmm… that lady. I hate her guts. Please, I’m all ears. Tell me what you need me to do?” My grip on my phone tightened as I replied, “I want you to……..” “What?” Ivy exclaimed. “Why would you need—” Just do it!” I shouted, annoyed at Ivy’s sudden demeanor. Wasn't she the same person that had just said she hated Melissa’s guts? Why then is she acting like I’m the bad one? “Just get it for me. I'm not going to hurt her. I just need to clear things out to get,” “Mmm…” I could sense the hesitation in Ivy’s voice. “But miss…, this sounds… extreme. Can’t you just—” “Ivy,” I growled in a low tone. “I’m not in the mood for lectures. And if for anything at all, you're the last person I would seek advice from. It’s either you get it for me or your father suffers the consequences. “I’m sorry m

LISTOWEL’S POV “You can’t do this to me, Listowel” Wendy yelled as she realized the seriousness in my eyes. “Your grandmother will hear about this” “I don’t care what she’ll say. You’re not welcome here. Leave!” “Is it because of her? Are you doing this because of that bitch?!” she shouted, pointing towards the secretary’s desk. My eyes trailed to the direction she had pointed; only for me to lock eyes with Melissa! I instantly froze for a minute, processing the fact that Lisa was standing right opposite me, witnessing the beast in me! I bit the sides of my lips as I hurriedly dragged Wendy and handed her to the security guards for them to throw her out. Running my hands roughly through my hair, I anxiously bit my lower lip as I turned and headed back to my office. My head lowered, refusing to raise my gaze as I was enveloped in embarrassment. I couldn't believe I had not noticed Melissa’s presence all this while. “I might have scared her,” I whispered under my br

MELISSA’S POV As I sat in my office, my fingers aggressively tapped on the letters on the keyboard while I finalized some details of the latest contract. Although my attention was fully focused on the work at hand, the whispers and murmurs from the hallway were too loud for me to ignore. Since morning, news of Wendy Macinni currently working as an employee at Gordon Inc has been circulating every nook and cranny of the company as it spread like wildfire. A group of people who call themselves “sisters” has been going around, taking it upon themselves to explain what Wendy’s presence at the company meant but I refused to let it distract me. . “Let her work here. The company belongs to Listowel, after all,” I muttered to myself a while after I realized the pitiful gazes people had been passing at me. “If he wants his fiancée prancing around like she owns the place, that’s none of my business.” Yet, I still couldn't believe how much of a pretender Listowel could be. Wasn

WENDY’S POV Grandma Gordon smiled back at me while nodding. “You’re a good match for my grandson, Wendy”. You have the right strength, and I believe you could make him happy and no one else.” I felt butterflies in my tummy as she said this. From her tone, it felt as if she was indirectly dismissing Melissa and the other ladies who wouldn’t hesitate to throw themselves on Listowel. “Tell me what you need from me. What can I do to make this transition smoother for both of you?” My heart skipped a beat before it started racing heavily against my chest. Was she seriously asking me this? Could this really mean she’s in full support of me, despite all that I did to Listowel in the past? My cheeks flushed pink from delight as my lips parted to respond. “Ummm…,” shifting to the edge of my seat, I commenced, avoiding eye contact, “There is something… I’d need your help with.” “What is it dear, c’mon tell me. I will grant it for you,” I leaned towards the table a bit, holdi

WENDY’S POVThe call went through and an eternity later, she answered. “Good morning, Madam Gordon,” forcing the words out of my throat, I greeted. “Good morning dear,” she responded in a melodious tone that spurred me to continue. Per how she called me ‘dear’ I guess she's in a good mood but as I said earlier, she can't be predicted. Steadying my breath, “I'm calling to let you know that I will be at your place very soon, I will be hitting the road now,” I relayed. “Alright darling, I will be waiting for you soon”. “Ummm… I was thinking… is there anything you'd like me to bring along?” The was a long silence after my question which made me think it probably didn't sit right with her. “Just be yourself, Wendy” With that, the call hunged, leaving me staring at the screen in annoyance. Despite her nonchalant response, I wouldn't really be myself if I went empty-handed. A thought flashed in my mind while I was searching on the internet for cool gifts for a soon-to-be gra

LISTOWEL’S POV Today was a very long and eventful day. After the contract agreement, I had to meet some new investors who had shown interest in Gordon Inc. as soon as the government announced its collaboration with us. I headed straight to the bathroom as soon as I came home. Feeling tired and exhausted, I bathe in the jacuzzi, allowing the coolness of the water to wash over me. As I sat on my bed, wrapped in my bathrobe, I had my phone in one hand while I used my other hand to hold the towel that I was using to dry my hair. A smile immediately tugged on the sides of my lips as my eyes fell on the headlines of the various articles circulating the internet. Lots of people were praising my company, Gordon Inc. Some of the media houses have also enlisted my achievements over the years. My eyes gleamed with joy as people complimented me like they weren't the same people tearing me apart with their mean comments the previous week. The smile on my face even grew wider as I

LISTOWEL’S POVLisa cut me a deadly glare before jerking my hands away. Although she didn’t utter any other word again, her silence was very loud. If not for Wendy, that brat, whose appearance had ruined everything, my initial plan would have gone through. Why did she have to come around today of all days? For the past week, I’ve been trying to get to reach out to Melissa and apologize or at least, release a communique to retract her statement but what? She’s been giving me excuses upon excuses. And just when I had planned to ask for Melissa for forgiveness on her behalf, she’s ruined everything!I gritted my teeth in annoyance as her attitude at the parking lot replayed in my mind. I can’t wait to end the goddamn engagement that binds us. Slowly exhaling, “Don’t fret buddy, it’s just a matter of days and you will be free from her shackles. As soon as the contract gets signed successfully, you will officially cancel the engagement,” I inwardly reminded myself. The thought of it

MELISSA’S POV Wearing a long-sleeved lace top, tugged neatly in black leather shorts which complimented her equally long black leather boots, she strolled towards me. Her oblivious eyes met my gaze and her face instantly changed into a hardened expression. She looked too pissed for someone who claim to not know nor have met me before. Seeing her made my blood boil, and the surge of anger swirling inside me turned me into nothing more than a ticking bomb waiting to explode. I mean, I understand she was trying to save her face and protect her relationship but why did she have to go to that extent of disrespecting me? Indirectly classifying me as a slut? Ha! How dare she! My grip on the steering wheel tightened as I glared at her through my windscreen. I guess she purposely came here for me as she was still walking towards my car. She was almost a few meters from me when, one of the back doors of the sleek black salon car parked adjacent to me, flew open. The force with which

LISTOWEL’S POV“I have news for you, sir.” “Good or bad?” I asked, my ears itching to hear what he had to say. If he says, it is bad news, I will have to put it on hold at the moment because I have a lot going on in my mind for me to add up his. His smile even widened more before his lips parted, “It is good news, sir. Gordon Inc. has just secured the Northville Heights real estate development contract the government proposed!” he excitedly exclaimed and he looked just like a kid who had been promised a candy. It took a moment for me to process what Theodore had just said. My heart leaped with joy as the realization of the magnitude of the contract dawned on me. We’ve been in talks with the government officials for months, I had almost lost hope since they were more inclined to give it to one of my company’s rivals. This is a massive win! This contract would be a game-changer for Gordon Inc., as it will bring in substantial revenue and likely boost our stock as well. “This
