Mr. CEO’s Insatiable Addiction To His Feisty Ex-Wife Chapter 15
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

My surroundings seemed to close in on me as I sat in my office, my gaze intently focused on the laptop before me. I was going over the so-called ‘not impressive enough’ proposal. I wasted almost seven hours of a sleepless night only to be told this? My heart felt heavy as I tried to calm the anger brewing inside me. As my fingers aggressively pressed on the letters on the keyboard before me, the cunning voice of Listowell still echoed in my ears. I didn't miss the deliberate criticisms and coldness he passed on while I was presenting. But I had ignored it all. I thought he was only trying to be silly, only for him to dismiss the whole proposal! And for what? A flimsy excuse that even a three-year-old wouldn't believe. “Miss Muggins?” Yaw spoke for the first time after a long while since we came back from the conference room. Yes?” I replied, not raising my gaze to look at him as it was still focused on the screen.“I don't think it's a good idea to go through the project right

MELISSA’S POV My senses heightened as I slowly inhaled the sweet aroma exuding from the coffee before me. Vapor from the coffee hovered in my face as I brought the cup closer to my lips, blowing air over it in an attempt to cool it. While darting around in admiration of my new work environment, I took a sip of the coffee. As soon as the earthy taste of it glided its way down my throat, I got energized to start my day. Settling in the swiveling chair in my office, a wide grin formed on my lips as I glanced around my new workplace in admiration. The large office I was seated in was assigned to me this morning after attending a brief orientation with Mr. Montenegro, the executive director. My office was huge and even though the decor didn’t really suit my taste, I felt ecstatic about it. The exciting and most important part of this all was that I wasn’t sharing it with anyone. My hands shot up to my face as I covered my lips in disbelief. In as much as this was real,

LISTOWEL’S POV. Her question took me by surprise, causing me to flinch a bit. Honestly, it wasn't my intention to spy on her all the time. When she returned to Aphrodite City months ago, I was afraid that she might vanish again overnight. That's why I have my men on guard, checking out if there’s any unusual movement going on with her. But when she became the target of the media’s celebrity drama, I had to tighten the security around her. Lisa might not know but my men have protected her from several media intrusions. She's had so many reporters lingering around to question her unnecessarily but she never bumped into any. I wouldn't really say it is all thanks to me because I was the root of it in the first place. If I had not carelessly interacted with her in public as I did some months back, she would have lived her life peacefully like any normal person. That's why I almost went crazy when I couldn't find her whereabouts nor get a text to the plenty of messages I was spam

MELISSA’S POV My gaze shot up, meeting his. What does he mean by I should be thanking him? For what exactly? Rolling my eyes at him, “What good in particular have you done to me for you to deserve my appreciation?” I asked, his statement irritating my nerves with each passing second as it rang in my ears. He didn't utter anything in response, he only stood still, his hands tugged in his pockets while staring at me with an intrigued expression. I forced my way past him and just as I was about to open my car door, his voice broke through “Let’s see if you'll still say this after you see this…” Snapping his fingers, the boot of his car flung open almost hitting Kevin, who was standing a few meters close to it. Kevin inched closer to the boot, took out something, and closed it before turning to head toward us. I squinted my eyes as my gaze fell on what he was dragging behind him. I was about to look away when it suddenly dawned on me! My eyes widened while my mouth fl

MELISSA’S POV “Can I have the bill, please?” I asked, gesturing towards a waiter who was passing by. Nodding in response, “Would you like any other thing else ?” He asked, leaning in closer to my shoulders. “No I’m fine,” I replied, wiping the oil on my lips with the tissue paper before me. “Alright, please give me a few minutes. I will get it for you.” He replied before turning to leave. Digging my hands into my bag, I grabbed my purse while checking in my head which card to use. My eyes felt hazy and a small yawn escaped my lips. I couldn’t wait to get home and nap for a while. In no time, the waiter brought the bill and it was nothing like I had anticipated. The price was quite pricy for just a plate of jollof rice. Maybe because this isn’t a local restaurant,” I thought in my head as I swiped the card on the atm. Beep beep..! My heart almost burst out of my chest as my card declined. “Oh God, what kind of embarrassment is this?” I muttered warmly as I pull

MELISSA’S POV Letting out a deep breath, I let go of my grip on the seat as the pilot announced a successful landing and welcomed us to Aphrodite. I love taking flights and traveling around the world. But throughout all the countless flights I’ve boarded, one thing I couldn’t get used to was the shaking of the plane during landing. My hands were clutched tightly on my seat because of the anxious feeling I get whenever we are landing. Standing up and heading to the door, the harsh breeze of Aphrodite City hit my face as if to remind me of the kind of life I’ve been enduring here. While descending, I reached out for my shades, put them on, and headed to the check-in point. Coming back to Aphrodite City was like a bitter pill that I couldn’t escape. It was bound for me to swallow. I guess no matter how many times I flee this city, I will still find my way to it. Or should I say the city itself will still find its way to me? That’s why I made a silent pledge to mysel

LISTOWEL’S POV The urgency in Kevin’s voice caused me to shift to the edge of my seat. “What is it?” I asked keeping a straight face even though my ears were itching to hear what it was. Kevin gestured for me to hold on but my patience was already wearing thin. “Tell me,” I demanded, my voice low yet commanding. Kevin looked unfazed by my tone. His calm expression as he continued to listen to whatever he was being told over the phone didn’t match the urgency with which he had previously exclaimed. “Yes… yes, I understand, Hold on,” he said as he lowered the speaker to his lips and spoke into the phone. Turning towards me, “Sir, one of the men at the airport believes to have spotted Miss Muggins,” he relayed, cutting me an enthusiastic smile. My heart skipped a beat and I felt as though a heavy burden had been lifted off my shoulders. But no, I wasn't going to believe that easily. I wouldn’t be fully relieved until I made sure that what he is reporting was tr

LISTOWEL’S POV Seated in my living room was Kevin on my right and Joey, the best hacker in the country on my left. Joey is said to be very good at what he does and only operates underground so it took lots of resources for Kevin to get him to me. He is a blonde-haired teenager with piercing sharp eyes. Based on his height, I would guess he is an inch above six feet. Although he appears imposing, his slender arms and legs create a contrasting impression. He’s wearing an oversized hoodie and joggers and has on a black face mask which covers a significant part of his entire face, making it hard to describe his other features. Ever since he sat down and got to work, he hasn't lifted even a brow nor has he said anything. His gaze has been focused on the laptop before him while his fingers rhythmically click on the keyboard. I had requested to be brought here so that he could track Melissa for me. Although the police are still working on the case, they are too slow to like.

MELISSA’S POV Nancy glared at me, her lips pouted as she fumed, “Are you trying to make fun of me or what?” No…, why would I? I'm just concerned.”I said back, fighting the urge to burst into laughter because I know very well her current relationship status. “Melissa! Are you trying to tell me you don't know how bad I am at relationships? Or you've forgotten that my last talking stage barely lasted a week?” Slipping from the couch to the floor, I burst out into a loud hilarious laughter as my guts threatened to burst from the choke. Nancy has always had bad luck when it comes to men. All the men she's ever gone on a date with either had a flaw that was too much to ignore or had an overly cringeworthy perfection. I brought up the question of kids just to distract her from the subject she was pushing to discuss. Leaning back on the couch, she rolled her eyes at me and said, “I know you are just trying to be messy. I won’t mind you.” I didn’t say anything again. I only l

MELISSA’S POV “I think we will go in for this.” I finally said to the realtor on our third round of inspections. We had already checked on four different apartments but none of the designs fitted our taste. With that, the realtor handed me the document which bore the transfer of ownership agreement, prepared for me to sign. Glancing at Nancy and Crystal who were also gazing at me with so much delight in their eyes, I heaved a heavy breath before I accentuated my signature. Afterward, I handed over my credit card after which a sum of $180,000 was deducted. Yes. I didn't just rent the apartment. I bought the full house. Crystal jumped and spun around in excitement. “Can I have a big room? With a desk and a big shelf for my dolls?” “Yes, my love. You’ll have your room, and yes, a big space for you to arrange your kids as well,” I said, smiling wall to wall. Nancy hopped onto the queen-sized bed, spreading her arms wide as she giggled like a child. “I can’t believe this
