“I only saw the ring. Can you tell me about his wife?” Maeve crafted a smile to hide the pain she felt every time she saw Gabriel’s ring. How strange of the fact that she recalled nothing about it and the fact that he said he loved her before her death? Something was not adding up and Maeve felt worried that she missed something or a part of her memory had been covered. Did Gabriel divorce at a point? Maeve recalled nothing of it in her past life and felt miserable talking about it. Doreen shook her head. “Even my father doesn’t know her. It was some kind of secret marriage and Gabby said she was in Hawaii. A fun-loving girl. But I know that Gabby doesn’t like fun-loving girls. He would have married Mildred if he did and he has refused to show anyone any picture of her as well.” Maeve saw the situation as dicey. If only she could remember. “Maybe…” Maeve’s phone began to ring and her heart thumped when she brought out her phone and s

Maeve was dazed by Gabriel’s utterance. It reminded her of how he had doted on her before, bringing back sweet memories which made her feel special. Gabriel would always defend and stand by her. This was a confirmation of the last part of her death when he said that he couldn’t live without her. She smiled at the thought of the sparks she felt when she helped him with the wristwatch, wondering if he felt it too. While Maeve was lost in her thoughts, Gabriel was furious. It was not his intention to chastise anyone or show that he cared for Maeve in her presence since she was the one who opted for a divorce when they had not even consummated their marriage. He lost control because this was the third time Samantha had done this right in front of him. The first time could be a mistake and the second time an oversight, but for it to repeat the third time meant that she was doing it on purpose, and Gabriel did not like it. For as long as Maeve was under his protection, she had to be give

‘Oh Gab, just kill him for me,’ Maeve wanted to say but held it in and rather asked politely, “Can I use your conference room, please?” Indirectly, she was telling Dylan that she was not leaving. She also did not look at Gabriel when she asked, and neither did she allow him to answer before saying, “Thanks, Gabriel, I’m grateful.” Thus, she did not allow Gabriel to refuse her request, pulling Dylan along with her while Gabriel’s fingers tightened into a fist. ‘So, it's back to Gabriel, no longer Gab,’ he said in his mind. Back then, he loved it a lot when she called him Gab. Things changed as fast as they happened, and Gabriel had already accepted it. He was only becoming confused because of Maeve’s recent change in attitude towards him, contemplating whether to trust her again or watch her closely. While Maeve passed through the reception with Dylan, Samantha said nervously, “Mr. Grayson, you are bleeding. Here, have my ha

Maeve did not remember any of these girls being bad in her past life. They were only influenced by Samantha. The one who was supposed to keep Gabriel’s secrets was the one distributing them. She could not get angry at the girls because they were not there when everything happened. It was all Samantha’s fault. Also, she kind of understood the reason why Samantha’s attitude towards her grew worse. When Gabriel told her to wait for him in his office that day, he rebuked Samantha for her sake. Maeve could not believe it since Gabriel was very cold towards her that day. Also, they talked about his mysterious wife and said that he went home early to her, but Gabriel had had dinner with Maeve since she began working from his office, except the night she went to visit Doreen. Her heart warmed at the thought of him defending her behind her back, and she could not worry about his mysterious wife anymore. The girls moved out of the way, and Maeve passed without a response to their greetings.

Gabriel felt like he was dreaming, upon seeing the dress Maeve was wearing. He loved the dress the moment he saw it and pictured her in it, thereby buying it with many others for her on her birthday, but he never saw her wearing any of them. It was even better than he thought at the time of purchasing the dress because Maeve rocked it perfectly. He was filled with the desire to possess her, especially when her eyes were fixated on his, both emitting sparks and desire to own each other. It was as if time stopped before Gabriel dared to take a step back. Maeve was in love with Dylan, and he had to respect it, whether he liked it or not. Regardless, it did not stop him from admiring her beauty. After all, he bought the dress she was wearing. “Maeve, sorry. I didn’t know you were standing there, and you look gorgeous.” Maeve beamed, and her eyes were glued to his. Her heart yearned for him, and her body was craving his touch, which she knew she would not get until the cursed diamond r
