All Chapters of DEAR CEO, LOVE ME HARDER: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

The person's throat cleared again, and then everyone turned around. I could not believe it with my very own eyes was my ex-husband, Gabriel. How did he find us? He was not even supposed to be here. I thought he would be somewhere drowning his sorrows. This man has been grieving ever since he lost his baby boy. Jason and Sandy looked shocked, just as I am. Looking at him now, though, I see that he is better. I cannot help but feel that something is off about him. It makes me uneasy that he is here. What is he doing here? Sandy asked me. I have no idea why he is here. More importantly, though, how did he know where I was? Gabriel walks up to me to offer me congratulations on the gender reveal. Well, Shame, it looks as if you will be a girl dad. I want to offer my deepest condolences. Why are you condescending, arrogant, and selfish, man? How dare you say something such as that? Shane will make a great girl dad. He will be their provider and protector to congratulate me on the gender r

The party had ended shortly after Gabriel left, and Shane was done talking to him. We will talk long tonight, especially since he keeps secrets from me. First, though, we need to clean up the backyard, and then we can talk about it. Honey, I asked Shane if you would please help me clean up. Of course, babe, I cannot have you doing all the work in your condition. “What do you mean in my condition?” “Come now, babe, do not get mad?” “You know that it's almost time for the babies to go out.” “Yes, I know, but that does not mean I am helpless.” “I want to do something useful before the babies come.” “I know you, Maddison, but shouldn’t you be nesting?” “Hey, do not give me that look. It is what I read in one of the pregnancy books.” You are right. I should be nesting and getting everything ready for our beautiful girls coming in a few weeks. Are you admitting to me being right about what I said? I am not going to say that you are right or wrong. I was making a statement. Besides,

When I went over to Maddison and Shane’s house, I had no idea a party was happening until I heard the music in the background. However, I did ring the doorbell first before I decided to enter since the door was unlocked. Who leaves their door unlocked anyway in this neighborhood? Don’t they know criminals are looking for a way into someone’s home? I hope they do not let just anybody walk up in here. Walking through their house, I see many decorations, including pink and blue balloons, food, and a cake. I asked myself what was with all this stuff; then, it dawned on me that this must be a gender reveal party. That would explain all the decorations around the house. I hear much noise, so I head towards the backyard. I saw some people that Maddison and I knew there in college. I also see my best friend and his wife, Sandy. Why was I not invited to this? Asking myself. Looking at the two of them makes me envious. It should have been all four of us together. It did not turn out that way b

Maddison, I told you about what happened. Did I not tell you when we met at the class reunion? No, you did not, she replied. Oops, I am so sorry that I did not mention it. How could you not say it after we slept together that night? I am sorry I was captivated by your beauty. The moment I saw you again, I knew we were meant to be with each other. Oh. Yes, that is right, I say. We should look at the USB DRIVE again to see if it is you or someone else pretending to be you. Who knows, it is worth looking at again. However, I cannot believe Gabriel is trying to make me doubt you. I knew what he was trying to do from the beginning. I mean, he was up to something. He just wanted to put doubt in my head about you. As if I did not know who you were. He tried to put it there so you can forgive him for his indiscretions. That will be hard if he keeps doing stupid things like this. I am sure it would have been easier if I had forgiven him. However, I must focus on making sure that our babies m

Well, I will tell you if you promise not to tell Shane. Okay, I say I promise with my fingers crossed behind my back. So, tell me, what did you do for Shane? We were at the casino the night before your class reunion, and he was on edge. He was saying that I should have given her a chance. Now I know that he was talking about you. He was so on edge that I had to put something in his drink to calm him down. Then I called a call girl, or should I say escort? That is what they prefer to be called now.So that is what you did, huh, Desmond? You wanted to give me something to make me feel better. Now, it is all because of you that people think that I am a gambler and a drunk. What can I say, dear brother? I wanted you to suffer. Why did you want me to drug me? I wanted people to see the downfall of Shane Evans, the most eligible bachelor in Missouri. However, I was not counting on you meeting Maddison here and marrying her so quickly. I cannot believe this is the man that I slept with while
