Chapter 1
Chapter 1
Gabriel was sitting in his office, thinking about his ex girlfriend, Ashley.
Flashback
"I m sick and tired of this Gabriel!" Ashley angrily said.
Gabriel was confused and shocked at her outburst. He just got back from the office and wasn t expecting this sort of welcome.
"What are you talking about?"
"Aargh!" Ashley angrily exclaimed
"You still don t get it, do you?" she asked, frustrated with his cluelessness.
"If you make it a lot clearer, I guess I d get a better picture of what you re on about"
"I HATE YOU GABRIEL!" she spat.
Gabriel was taken aback by that.
"I ve been waiting for you for the past three hours, Gabriel, so we would go on the stupid date you promised, but once again you didn t show up or should I say, you were too busy to show up."
Then it hit Gabriel like a ton of bricks. He totally forgot about the date he had promised Ashley. Now, he feels really guilty.
He has no excuse this time, other than the fact that he forgot about it.
"Baby, I m sorry. I totally forgot about it because of an urgent meeting I had to attend"
"Great. Just great! You always have something important to deal with. What about me, huh?! Is your company more important than me?!"
Gabriel didn t like where this argument was going. He loves Ashley, but his company is also important to him.
"I m sorry, okay? I ll make it up to you" he said not wanting to get into an argument with her.
"I DON T WANT THAT, OKAY?!" she yelled
"You always say that, but never keep your words. You always come up with new excuses. You re just incredible, Gabriel!" she replied, stating the last part with sarcasm.
"You suck at this Gabe.."
"Ashley, can we please not continue this conversation. I promise to make up for my mistake. If you like, we can have tomorrow to ourselves"
Gabriel suggested, hoping to make Ashley calm down and feel a lot better. He won t deny the fact that he was a terrible boyfriend.
"After tomorrow, then what?" she asked
Gabriel looked perplexed, not understanding what Ashley was trying to say.
Ashley closed her eyes and inhaled deeply, getting herself prepared for the next thing she is about to say.
"I don t think us having tomorrow to ourselves would be necessary. I already moved my things. I was only waiting for you to come home so I could tell you in person"
"What do you mean you moved your things?"
"I can t continue living like this, Gabriel. You make me sick. So, I think it s best we end this"
Gabriel couldn t hide the surprise on his face. Ashley not only mentioned her moving her things out of the house, she wants them to break up.
"Are you trying to break up with me?" he asked, wanting to get a better understanding of what she just said.
"I m not trying, Gabe. I m breaking up with you"
Gabriel was devastated by her statement. He watched as Ashley walked out the door without looking back.
She couldn t even give them a second chance. She just left, leaving him completely broken.
End Of Flashback
That incident happened five years ago and Gabriel still can t get it out of his head. It still remains fresh, he doesn t think he d ever forget that day.
That is the reason why he is more dedicated to his work now more than ever, because he knows that s the only thing that loves and understands him, but his mom thinks otherwise.
His parents are worried about him. They want him to move on and find someone new, most especially his mom.
She calls in every month to find out if he has gotten a new girlfriend. She is really desperate to become a grandma but Gabriel isn t buying that.
Flashback
"Gabe, my son, you have to listen to me. You need to move on, forget about Ashley. If she actually loved you, she wouldn t have left the way she did"
"Mom please, can we not talk about this"
"We have to, honey. You aren t getting any younger. You ll be forty in a couple of months, Gabe. Stop hurting yourself living like this, she isn t worth it"
"I need to get back to work, mom. I ll talk to you later"
"Just what I was talking about. Stop drowning yourself in work. Go outside, mingle, make new friends… Baby, do it for your mom"
"Hmmn… I ll think about it"
"There is nothing to think about. I want to find out that you have a new girlfriend the next time I call you, okay?"
"But, mo.."
"Bye honey" and with that, his mom hung up.
End Of Flashback
That was the last discussion he had with his mom. He was under a lot of pressure, not just from his mom but also from the public and press, who were already terming him with so many sexualities.
He has to come up with something and he has to think fast.

The CEO's Unspoken Love
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...

When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"

"I'm afraid that's impossible."

“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.

Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display.
