A Marriage To Cure A Broken Billionaire 38. When I Think Of You
Taesha's (POV)I knew how getting involved with another culture worked. My family probably won't be as accepting this time around after dealing with Sean's craziness. After what he and his family had put my family and me through. I sighed. How can I forget that we were two different races? His sky-blue eyes alone should have been enough of a reminder. There's just something special about that man. Dexter truly makes me forget everything important. I returned to work, trying not to think about Dexter, a guy who would never leave my heart because of his kindness. Looking back, the separation and long distance are far more challenging and painful than I thought they would be, as it had only been a short time. How could I become so attached? It's not making any sense what's so ever!One evening while at home alone, I decided to close the shop early and come home and relax and rest. I lay there on my couch watching TV late that evening. I wore a pair of yoga pants and a t-shirt with my ha

But, at first, Cameron was skeptical about telling her friend what she thought about this guy. “Taesha, what do you know about this guy? You only spent four days with him.”“True, but it was four days and nights for 24 hours. The night we stayed up, we discussed everything from A to Z. I feel I know him enough to follow his instructions. He’s not going to ask me to do something ridiculous. So stop worrying about me. He’s a level-headed person.”Finally, Cameron gave up and waited for the instruction to decide whether Taesha should comply. ~~~Late one evening, Taesha came home from wo

While waiting, Taesha hoped that Dexter would be the one to pick her up from the airport. She stood there taking in the exciting sights. She was dressed semi-casual in a pink long-sleeve blouse, her black full-leg pants, and her five-inch pumps. Taesha's massive hair was full of curls, and her makeup reflected the soft color of her blouse with fuchsia lipstick on her lips. Her eyes discreetly pay attention to the people, most of who appear to be business folks in suits and ties. And the females, with their slick flat iron hairstyles, wore dresses or skirt suits. They all look very wealthy and

That's when his phone rang. When he looked at the caller ID, he was stunned at who was calling him. "Father, hello." "Dexter, can you come to the house within the next hour?" "I was in the middle of preparing for something." "You can't spare an hour of your time?" He sighed heavily, holding the phone away from his ear.

"Taesha! Taesha!" "What, boy? What's wrong with you?" She asked, turning to look at him, concerned by his panicked voice as he entered the kitchen, huffing, and puffing."Baby, are you sick?" Dexter asked breathlessly."No, why would you think that? Wait! So you do know what you did?" She looked at him suspiciously."I don't know what I did. Did I do something, Tae? You just freaked me out!

A Marriage To Cure A Broken Billionaire 69. I Can't Get Enough
The honeymoon phase was filled with steamy nights at their home in the mountains. It appeared every two weeks, Dexter's sight would diminish and return to total darkness. But waking up blind wasn't as frightful now because he knew the capacity of one glass of Taesha’s homemade wine could do for his sight. Dexter, of course, was grateful for this breakthrough. Any breakthrough that could give him the sight he's always longed for, and he wanted Taesha to seriously consider sharing it with the masses of color-blind and legally blind people. But she was afraid of all the responsibility. Taesha was content, knowing it helped him; she didn’t want fame or notoriety.

A Marriage To Cure A Broken Billionaire 68. Careless or Careful?
Careless or Careful?"I don't know why but It's in the music, books you read, and some movies. I decided if I found the one, and I did, I would treat you with the utmost love and dignity. Out in a world, it's full of lust, Taesha. It's all about pure selfishness. My music is successful because I write what women need and want to hear. But women are very complex creatures, emotional and all. I've seen countless women willing to do a lot to get a man, win his love, money, and sometimes his body. Observing, being alone, I've learned much from females.""You mean you used the females for business purposes?""That's not fair. I've never taken advantage of anyone.""What am I? Some experiment for you to examine and use?" She stepped away. "No, never! I'm trying to say that, for the first time, you were the first girl I couldn't read or figure out, and you certainly have never been willing to do whatever I wanted you to do, and you were careless about my wealth. And when it comes to my body

She mumbled to herself, "he's my husband." So many unanswered questions, but one mainly resided in a secret place in her heart.She put a big smile on her face. "So get up lazy, boy." Taesha pulls him by the arm out of bed. His hand found her waist and gently dragged her back to bed so she could lie beside him again.

"Baby, I'm sorry, but I never thought I had anything to do with your eyesight." "It's okay. Good night Tae." "Are you upset with me?" "No," "Then don't turn your back on me." "Taesha, I'm trying to go to sleep. Can you do the same?" "What? No! You are upset with me, and I don't like it!" "I'm not upset, but if you keep nagging me, I will be!" "Nagging you! I don't believe my ears! I'm trying to console you! I know you are disappointed that it didn't work! But don't turn your back to me as if it's my fault!" "God! won't you stop talking!

“Thanks, my love, for picking out my outfit. I can do the rest from here.”Dexter slipped on a pair of light brown skinny-leg pants with a deep royal gold thick sweater. He grabbed a lightweight gold scarf with guitar designs throughout the scarf. He brushed his hair in the direction he always did. Taesha had already sprayed his cologne on his clothes. He sat down while slipping into his shoes, grabbing his leather brown jacket and sunglasses as he left the bedroom.Once she selected his clothing, then she picked out her own. ‘So this is what it would be like with him completely blind for the rest of our lives.’ She never imagined herself being married to a man that was blind. She worried about them being an interracial couple and how others would treat them. But she never in millions of years thought she would be married to a man who couldn’t see. Taesha silently continued to pray his sight even if only what he had before with the ash gray would return. Then, she got dressed, took h

Look, Dex, the sun is shining brightly."Fear gripped his heart as he opened his eyes again, and it was pitch black! Dexter rubbed his eyes, reopening them only to be once again to be faced with darkness. Taesha sees the anguish on his handsome face. "Baby, what's wrong?" "Taesha, I can't see! I can't see anything!" "What do you mean? Are you seeing in ash gray again?" "No, I'm blind! I can't see at all!" "You have not been this way before, unable to see at all!
