Ex-Husband's Regret

He begins walking again and I follow behind him.

"This is Rowan's office" he says after we stop in front of a door.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

It had his brother's name on it. I nod my head, not really sure why I needed to know that. Sure, I'm going to work for him, but will I really need to engage with the other higher tops?

"My office is right next to his, but let me give you a quick tour before I let my other P.A show you the rest and guide you on what you'll be doing."

"That's really not necessary... I'm sure you P.A can give me a tour. You must have a lot to do" I tell him in a sickly-sweet voice.

Gabriel is infamous for sleeping with his personal assistants, and he has never really tried to hide that dirty fact.

It bothered me so fucking much when we were married. I hated knowing that he was my husband, yet he couldn't keep his dick in his pants. It's not like I couldn't give him sex if he wanted, but I knew he never would have asked.

Apart from being a manwhore who enjoyed a variety of women, Gabriel liked the fact that it hurt me. He used it as a way of punishing him for us getting married. I just didn't understand his need to punish me. It's not like he was forced to marry me, he is the one that came to me and proposed after speaking to my brother.

His behavior confused me for such a long time. Why ask me to marry him when he knew he wasn't going to be faithful to me?

Since I came back, I've done some research on him,and over the years, nothing has changed. He still banged his secretaries and anything with a vagina. The last thing I want is to meet the woman he had been fucking before the Board forced his hand.

"It's no trouble... I'm your husband, it's the least I can do" his rich voice pulls me from my thoughts.

"Honestly, Gabriel, don't trouble yourself" I insist, trying to get him to leave.

I was stuck in an impossible situation. I didn't want to be around him, but I also didn't really want his damn P.A to give me a tour. I'm sure I could figure out things on my own.

Instead of answering or agreeing, he grabs my hand and pulls me down the hallway. The man was fucking stubborn. Didn't he have some documents he needed to look at? Or meetings? Didn't he get the fucking hint that I really didn't want him around me?

I fume as we move down the hall, and he shows me around. There weren't many rooms on this floor. The main ones were Rowan and Gabriel's offices, the boardroom and a lounge area that came with a small bar area.

"Any questions?" he asks after he's done with the tour.

He still has my hand in his, which is weird. Weird that he hasn't let it go and even weirder that I haven't.

He leads me to his office. The

interior designer sure did a wonderful job with it. It was very masculine with its grey color scheme. I'm an interior designer and

can appreciate that whoever it is, did

a great job.

Remembering that he'd asked me a question, I pull myself from admiring his office and turn to him.

"Yes, you said that I'd be your P.A, what exactly would I be doing?" I ask staring at him.

"I'll have my other secretary come in... You'll be working together, so he can guide you on how I like this" he answers, but I'm stuck on that one word.

"He?"

He looks at me as I stare at him with shock. Walking to his office, he grabs the phone and lifts it to his ear.

"Christopher, will you come in?" he says into the phone before putting it down.

Seconds later, there is a knock on the door, before it opens to reveal a man I assume is Christopher.

"You called Boss?" he asks as he stares at me curiously.

"You weren't at your desk when we got here," Gabriel noted, his eyes narrowed.

Christopher doesn't seem fazed by Gabriel at all.

"I'm sorry about that, I'd left to collect the weekly reports from the departments. They're on my desk right now."

There is a beat of silence before Gabriel moves and sits at the edge of the desk. My eyes involuntarily move to his powerful thighs. There was just something powerful about a powerful man doing this pose.

Shaking my head, I banish those

thoughts. There must be something wrong with me. Otherwise, why is it

that one second, I'm attracted to

him and the next, I'm hating him because of how he treated me in the

past.

"So let me make an introduction, so we can get back to work" Gabriel says, his voice not revealing anything.

"Harper, this is Christopher, my secretary, and Christopher, this is Harper, my wife" he introduces us in a very flat tone.

"Wife?" Christopher looks as shocked as I am.

We both stare at each other, surprise evident in our faces. For him, it must be because of Gabriel's new status as a married man, as for me it's the fact that he has a male personal assistant. Since the fuck when did that happen?
