Falling For The Man I Married

Madi's POV:
"I couldn't get a new business permit!" I said annoyed, throwing my bag on the couch.
"But why? You have already completed all the necessary documents. Have you forgotten something... your Id?" Noelle asked
and sat down next to me.
"Huh! That fucking Id!" I cursed loudly and sighed harshly.
"Why? What happened with your Ids?"
"My name didn't match with the name listed in their system! Because according to them, I'm married to Gabriel and still married
until now!"
"Gosh! How does that happen? I thought you already gave him the divorce papers before? What happened?"
"I don't know. All my Ids' name is Davis! And didn't even change my last name to Wilsons' even though I was married to him!
That's why I was so shocked when they told me they can't process my papers unless I present them an ID with a Wilsons name
on it!"
I brushed my hair out of frustration
"I'm so annoyed right now and I want to kill! I want to kill that annoying Gabriel Wilsons! Argh! This is the first time I can't process
my papers in just one day and that I have to go back to present an Id which I don't have! My goodness!"
I sighed and waited for her to say anything but I heard none, so I looked at her only to find her grinning.
"And what's with that grin?"
"Nothing!" she shrugged. "I just remember three years ago, you came here crying your heart out because you're in pain and no
matter what we tell you to leave Gabriel, you're just saying 'you can't' because you love him. But look at you now! You're
annoyed and you can kill him just by your sharp words! Tsk.Tsk.Tsk. I'm proud of you, Madi." she said seriously.
I smiled as I shifted my seat next to her and hugged her tightly.
"Thank you, Noelle," I said as my arms wrapped around her neck.

"For what?" she asked, patting my back.
"For being my friend, my supporter and for everything."
"Of course. What are friends are for?" and I hugged her more. "By the way, what's your plan right now? What are you going to do
with your 'Not-ex-husband'?"
"Huh! I'll cut his balls off!" I said firmly and she chuckled at me.
"Wow! Look what heartbreak did to you! Are you still the Madi, the naive and 'virgin' friend of mine?"
I playfully glared at her. "Of course! Silly!"
"Seriously, what are you planning to do? You don't have an Id with Wilsons as a last name. Is there any other way?"
"Yeah, talk to the 'devil' and make him sign an authorization letter, that Madielyn Davis and Madielyn Wilsons are just the same!"
I emphasized the word devil just to earn another laugh from her.
"Nice! I really like the new version of you! Bolder and fiercer! Keep it up!"
"Of course, I've learned my lesson!" I proudly stated.
"Tsk.Tsk.Tsk. Yeah, I believe you, my friend. What did you always call him before----handsome Greek God? But time had
changed because he's now a 'devil' to you...your 'handsome devil. Amen!"
I can't help but laugh and punch her in the arm.
"Can you please stop comparing things before and things now? My God, Noelle!"
"I'm just happy, you know." she rolled her eyes at me.

Gabriel's POV:
"Mica, is there anyone looking for me or wants to talk to me?"
"No, Sir."

"Even calls?"
"Nothing Sir. Well, phone calls from clients and investors."
"Oh, not that one. Just call me immediately if there's someone who wants to talk to me personally, okay?"
"Sir, may I ask if it's a man or a woman?"
"A woman."
"Okay Sir, copy."
I called my PA, just to check if Madi had finally decided to show up and talk to me. I don't know how many times I called Mica just
to ask the same question since yesterday. Because I finally received a call from my trusted friend inside the Chicago City hall.
And she said, there was a lady named Madielyn Davis who came in yesterday.
I couldn't help but smile and feel excited to know what her reaction was after knowing the truth that she's still married to me.
When she left the divorce papers three years ago, I didn't sign them and just threw them in the trash. And now that I've seen her
again, I can't just sit here, relax and do nothing. I want to win her back and be with me forever.
I did a personal investigation into her business, and when they should submit and process some legal documents. And I used it
to have her come to me personally and talk to me about our marriage.
Well, I just pulled some strings and put some money into the account of this trusted friend of mine and bingo! Now I can get what
I want. I asked them to change Madi's last name to Wilsons.
"Mr. Wilsons..."
There's a knock on the door and Sandy came into my view.
"Sandy."
"Sir, your meeting with the board members is about to start in ten minutes. The board room is now ready, Sir."
"Thank you, Sandy."
She nodded and smiled at me. "You're welcome, Sir," she said before exiting the door again. I let her handle my schedule
because my PA is still under her training.

I have prepared some documents that were needed for the meeting. Little did I know that the woman I've been waiting to arrive
since yesterday is now making her way to the company.

Madi's POV:
-'Whooh! This is it, Madi! You can do it!'-
I tried to calm myself down or should I say my heart when I stopped at the entrance of the company where it all started. Nothing's
changed. Those were the first words that came to my mind when I saw the main lobby. And there at the entrance was the same
security guard who always greeted me every time he saw me. He already knew my arrival time every morning, because I always
arrived fifteen or twenty minutes early before the official time.
And there was the same employee at the reception desk as three years ago...Tere.
"Ms. Madi?" her eyes widened when she saw me approach her desk.
"Hi, Tere. How are you?" I greeted her with the same smile as before.
"Oh my God! You look more beautiful, Ms. Madi!"
"Well, thank you."
"What happened to you? We just heard you suddenly resigned three years ago."
"Ahh... I just felt tired before. You know, our job is quite tiring." I shrugged.
"So, are you going to go back now?"
"No, I just need to talk to someone."
"Ahh... why-----"
"Bye, Tere. I have to go. This is really important." I cut her off before she can ask about my sudden resignation.
"Oh, okay, Ms. Madi."

I walked my way towards the elevator. When the lift was slowly arriving on the executive floor, the more my heart was pounding
inside. It's deafening and I had to take a deep breath every single minute as I felt the tightening of my air passage. I closed my
eyes when the lift came to stop at my designated floor. And with one final deep breath, I pressed the open button.
But my eyebrows knitted when I saw the new faces of employees the moment I got out of the lift. Well, it's been three years,
what would I have expected? I tried to look for Sandy in her office, but the door was closed. But there.. in my old office a woman
in her uniform, sitting in my old chair. I knocked on the door frame and she raised her head to look at me.
"Hi, Good morning." I smiled as she walked over to me.
"Yes, Ma'am? What can I do for you?" she asked with a raised eyebrow and looked at me from head to toe.
"I'm looking for Mr. Wilsons." I ignored her kind of stare.
"Do you have an appointment, Ma'am, with the CEO?"
"Uhm... no, I don't have an appointment. I just need to talk to him. It's really important."
"Oh, he's still at the board meeting Ma'am. And I can't let you talk to him if you don't have an appointment!"
I was left open-mouthed by the tone she gave me.
"Are you his secretary?"
"No, I'm his personal assistant." She replied with a little hint of sarcasm.
-'Huh! Like a boss, like an assistant! Rude!'-
"If you are a personal assistant, then why are you here? Why aren't you with him, if you said he's in a meeting?" I raised my
eyebrow.
"Sandy is already with him."
"Okay, I'll just wait for him in his office, until his meeting is over," I said walking past her but she stopped me by grabbing my arm.
"I told you, Miss, you can't talk to the CEO u less you have an appointment! And this is an executive floor, what are you doing
here?" she glared at me.

I took my hand out of her grip. "And I also told you that I want to talk to your boss, so I'll just wait for him in his office if he's still in
a meeting. This is very important Miss, and I don't have any time to ask you for an appointment."
"No! You can wait for him in his office! Who are you?"
I just smiled at her rude behavior.
"I am Madielyn Davis-Wilsons, I am his wife!" I replied looking directly into her eyes, but the rude assistant just laughed at me as
she clutched her stomach.
"You know what, you really made me laugh----"
"Yeah, I can see that!"
"Miss, I'm sorry, but I won't buy your excuse. You don't even have a ring, so you'd better go back and stop pretending to be my
boss's wife. Stop dreaming and your fantasy about him!"
"Okay!" I said nodding. I have a better idea. "Maybe I can go break into the meeting room to talk to him, what room is he in---
ahh... room 104!" I exclaimed, running to the elevator.
"Hey! How did you know what floor he's on? You can't go there!"
She followed me, but I was fast and immediately pressed the close button.
-I'm such a bitch!'- I muttered to myself while shaking my head.
I smiled as I remember her question, how did I know what floor he was on? Of course, she said board meeting. How could I
forget which floor is the board room if I worked here for half a year before?
My heart started to beat faster when I reached the designated floor. When I got to the front of the double door, the nervousness
started to kick in. I need to do this now or never.
But I was about to push the door when someone jumped at my back which accidentally made me push the door in front of me.
And because I was surprised by the sudden action, I lost my balance. My loud scream startled all the people inside and the next
thing I know... I found myself lying on the carpeted floor with bitch-secretary on top of me.
"Oh my God! I'm sorry, Miss!" she said as she stood up.

Again, I was about to open my mouth when the person I was about to meet suddenly came into my view.
"What's going on, Mica?" he asked her and then his eyes widened when he saw me lying on the floor.
"Oh, God! Love?" he immediately knelt in front of me and helped me to stand up. But I winced in the sudden pain I felt when he
touched my elbow. "Fuck! You're bleeding!"
