Marrying My High School Bully Who saved her?
Chapter 140Dexter "Start talking!" I thundered, my voice echoing in the empty warehouse, after I doused his body with a bucket of cold water that stirred him up from his sleep. He shook his head and tried to wipe the water off his face, but he couldn't as the chains that Wyatt wrapped around his body and connected to the iron chair, kept him bound. His eyes fluttered open as he panted. "I thought that I'd agreed, what's the use of this torture?" He croaked, struggling to break off from the grip of the chains. I scoffed at his stupidity. What made him think that I'd let him off the hook that easily? "Insurance, Dante." I smirked. "So start talking before your mother leaves this earth for good." I barked as he bit his lower lip and took a deep breath. "A few days before the wedding, Emilia told me that I was going to drive Lorraine and the other women to a certain address she would send to me. At first, I refused to help her, but my mother got really sick and she offered a hu

Chapter 141Author's POV She crouched close to the iron bars, wishing that she could bring them down and get her father out of there. "How are you doing, father?" Emilia asked, her eyes glazed with tears. Leonardo shrugged, apparently tired of the situation. "How do you expect me to feel?" He replied, his tone cranky. "I've been here for almost two days just because I lost my temper with a man who deserved it. How can they allow their CEO to rot here like an ordinary man?" He whined bitterly. "You mean that no one has visited you?" Leonardo lifted up his face, his gaze meeting hers. "I'm sure your ears are not placed on the sides of your head for fancy. Didn't you hear what I've been saying? The only person who came around today was Melissa, and she promised to get me out of here." Emilia rolled eyes and muttered inaudible words as she sprang to her feet. "And you really believe that she'd come through for you?" She asked, her face forming a frown. "I believe she will, because s
Marrying My High School Bully Becoming CEO
Chapter 142Melissa The meetings were becoming exhausting as I began to count the number of modelling jobs I had to miss. Modelling was my first love, but presently, getting back my late mother's legacy was my priority. "Today, we are here for the election of an interim CEO." Mr Robert announced and my heart skipped a beat. No one told me that we'd be taking votes today, if not I'd have informed everyone about it, including Dexter who was willing to help me out. "Isn't it impromptu?" I asked calmly, hoping that other members would also add their input. "No, it isn't. We'll need someone who we know can comfortably run this company while we focus on our jobs. So we'll pass our votes around and anyone with the highest number gets to become the interim CEO." He said and I couldn't deny that my body's temperature spiked. My palms became clammy with sweat, as my breathing rapidly increased. "Alright then." I hoped that I was the only one contesting for the position, but what made it

Chapter 143Dexter The artist I sent for arranged the canvas on a plain table, then placed the color pallete beside it while I watched Dante closely. He clamped his lower lip between his teeth, and his eyes kept darting around. I could tell that he was nervous, but I didn't care. His open display of anxiety got me wondering how I employed him. My guards were supposed to be fit all the time and able to hide their fears. "Are you ready?" Luke asked after setting up a little studio in the warehouse. We were still in the warehouse as we couldn't afford to go to the hospital, because I wasn't in the right frame of mind to go through their draining question and answer session. Wyatt had left already, as his girlfriend kept blowing up his phone with numerous calls. I'd sent a text to Melissa to congratulate her on her new position. It was the only news that cheered me up after hearing the real truth from Dante. "Do I have any other choice?" He replied, his finger grazing the plaster
Marrying My High School Bully Are you Lorraine?
Chapter 144Melissa Having the original documents of Hills Jewelry sparked bubbles of excitement within me. Just like my late mother advised me in the dream, I was taking charge and bringing doom to everyone who hurt me. I dropped the file on the table and crashed onto the chair, feeling fulfilled. A slight pain seared through my abdomen, causing me to groan, then I smiled upon remembering that two babies were growing in there. Twins. My eyes flitted to the wall clock and I gasped, wishing that the time would go faster so that I'd be able to know the sex of my unborn babies. A gentle knock resonated on the door. I got up lazily, my body feeling like a bag of lead. I dragged myself to the door and I was rewarded with Lilly's squeal. "Hi, Mel." She stretched out her little arms and I picked her up for a hug. Seeing her after a long time brightened my day, as I liked to be in her company. She was so adorable. My eyes met with Dexter's and I noticed the sadness that formed

Chapter 145Dexter Fortunately, doctor Luca came a few minutes after I called him. Melissa had already slumped on the bed and I was doing everything possible to keep myself from freaking out. I stood still, hands propped against my waist as I watched him place the stethoscope on her chest. He jotted down something I couldn't read on his little pad, then proceeded to check her blood pressure. "How's she doing, Doc?" I approached him, unable to stay at one place anymore. "She'll be fine. Her temperature is normal, same goes for her blood pressure. She's just stressed." He said flatly and I pinched my forehead in regret. How could I have allowed my emotions to get ahead of me, knowing that she was pregnant? "It's my fault. I asked her some questions that riled her up." Doctor Luca folded his arms, squinting his eyes at me in confusion. "She's carrying a set of twins." I announced and his eyes lit up for the first time I knew him. He stretched his hand for a handshake and I accepte
Marrying My High School Bully Revelation and reconciliation
Chapter 146Melissa This was a secret I kept from everyone including my father. He thought that I went to a plastic surgeon to have my face changed, but what he didn't know was that I dropped our initial arrangement at the last minute. Since my face wasn't marred by the accident, I decided to hold onto it while I put up a facade. I pleaded with the surgeon to make a face mask that would fit my facial structure. He agreed since it was my desire, and the only time I was tempted to take off the mask was when I saw Dexter again after two years. "What are you up to?" He shifted uncomfortably as I shut my eyes and peeled the mask off, revealing my true identity. He gasped, shrinking backwards as his hand flew to his lip. "You didn't undergo any surgery?" "Apparently, I didn't. I was too much in love with my face to have it redone." I replied nonchalantly. "I can't believe this, Lorraine. Why didn't you just tell me the truth?" "I couldn't because you wouldn't believe me. I tried to
Marrying My High School Bully His approval
Chapter 147Melissa "Everything will be fine." I squeezed Dexter's palm assuringly after we showed up at my father's house. He had filled me in on the argument they had a few days ago, and I couldn't deny that my father would be pissed at him. But knowing that my father would always choose my happiness over anything, I convinced him to join me. We were a team, and my father's influence would be pertinent in bringing Emilia and her father down completely. "I hope so." He replied nervously and the housekeeper welcomed the both of us. Her eyes lingered on Dexter with a puzzled expression, then she disappeared into the hallway almost immediately. My father strode down the stairs, a dazzling smile appearing on his face as soon as he sighted me, but when his gaze crossed to Dexter, it disappeared. He returned his gaze back to me while I pressed my lips, giving him a knowing look. "Does he know?" He asked quietly, closing the distance between us. I nodded slowly and stood up. "I c

Marrying My High School Bully Epilogue
Chapter 160ONE YEAR LATER "You look so ravishing," Mrs Gonzales cupped my made up cheeks and planted a kiss on my forehead. "Thank you, aunt." I beamed with a smile as the veil was set on my head while she left the room to attend to something else. Aunty Rosa, as I fondly called her, had become a part of the family. I made her the CEO of my company as she was more than capable of being a leader, and also, I wanted to compensate her for everything she did for my mother. I was fine with being a consultant and when she was ready to retire, I'd take over. Since we moved to Colorado, my life with Dexter had been all shades of fun. The happiness I craved for after losing my mother was restored, and never did a day pass without me thanking the universe for granting me my wishes. And today, after five months of having my twins; Nyla and Brian, I was ready to walk down the aisle and experience what a beautiful wedding felt like. I stood in front of the mirror and stared at how wel
Marrying My High School Bully A new beginning
Chapter 159Melissa I peered down at Dexter's sleeping face and sighed. Doctor Luca had constantly assured me that he would be fine, but I was yet to understand why he hadn't woken up already. If Leonardo had succeeded in killing him, I'd have resurrected his dead body and murdered him myself. Actually, I low-key wished that I was the one who shot him, but it didn't matter anymore because he was dead and gone. Staring at the tubes connected to his body caused goosebumps to cover my skin. He was in the situation because of me. My mind wandered as several thoughts filtered in and out of my head. Lilly had come earlier with Mary to visit him, but even her presence couldn't stir him up. No! He couldn't remain this way forever. He had to wake up. I took one of the chairs in the ward and sat beside him, entwining our fingers while I used my free fingers to caress his face lightly. He was still the most handsome man I'd ever seen, even in unconsciousness. "Cupcake, how are you
Marrying My High School Bully He didn't die
Chapter 158Melissa Blood drained from my face as the bullet went straight to his chest, causing him to slump on the ground. Leonardo pushed Lilly away and tried to break into a sprint, but he was gunned down by the cops who opened fire on him until his body was filled with bullet holes. If Dexter wasn't lying on the ground in the pool of his own blood, I'd have been rejoicing that the source of all my troubles was dead, but the sight of him in a lifeless state snuffed out any trace of happiness within me. "Get the ambulance, please!" I roared, my heart plummeting as blood gushed out from his mouth. I held his hands, my tears forming a wet mask on my face as I caressed his head. His eyes were shut, but I refused to believe that he was dying. I sat on the ground and placed his head on top of my neck, then I tore the hem of my dress and dabbed his chest with him to reduce the rate of the blood flow. All the while I did that, my heart skipped several beats and my fingers trembl
Marrying My High School Bully Let's end it
Chapter 157Dexter"You need to come back home now, sir, Leonardo is threatening to shoot the madam." Mary, my nanny, whispered with a note of urgency as if she was being restricted from talking. At the mention of his name, my heart skipped a beat and my palms became clammy with sweat. Not because I was scared of him, but with him in our house, my wife's safety wasn't guaranteed. I'd gotten her message so there was no need for us to keep talking. I dropped the call and put inspector James on the line. As the minutes passed, my anxiety skyrocketed, threatening to hit the roof. My previously distracted mind was transcending into a state of frenzy and I couldn't do anything about it. He picked up after what seemed like eternity, and if he wasn't a noble police officer, I'd have thrown a punch at him. "Hi, Mr Hemingway. How are—" I cut through the pleasantries with clenched teeth. "I'm not fine, inspector James, Leonardo is in my house right now." "What? How is that even possible?
Marrying My High School Bully Fire in the house
Chapter 156Melissa The sun shone brightly, the atmosphere bubbly and charged, but my feelings were the direct opposite as I worked on packing the rest of my clothes. It was past one pm, and it gradually dawned on me that in less than three hours, I'd be leaving California to Mexico. Mexico was a nice country, but I wasn't sure it would be nice to me if Dexter wasn't there. What could I do about it? Nothing! The doorbell jingle, so I dropped the last pair of black shoes I'd selected as I didn't know what event I might be attending, even though I planned to stay indoors throughout my visit there. My chest tightened since I wasn't expecting any visitors, then I shook away my suspicion, reminding myself that if it was Leonardo he wouldn't be coming directly through the door. I took a peek at the peephole and found a man standing beside a bike with a box, causing me to frown. It was strange to see him because I didn't make an order and I clearly wasn't expecting anything from some
Marrying My High School Bully The agreement
Chapter 155Melissa He came in, his expression glimmering with pure exhaustion. My eyes intently followed his sluggish movement as I tried to overcome the barrier between us so that I would welcome him properly. "You didn't tell me that you'll be coming back this late. I've been waiting." His eyes darted to his wristwatch, then he palmed his forehead with a sigh. "I'm so sorry. I lost track of time. Today was really hectic, several things had to be put in place and I wanted to oversee some of the activities by myself." He explained calmly, while I peered at him, my jaws slackened in surprise. We were supposed to be having a beef, but here he was, explaining how his entire day went even though his body screamed for rest. Strings of guilt gnawed at my chest as I fiddled with my fingers. I'd been completely selfish, and that was why I couldn't notice that my husband was slowly losing his mind because of my problems. I wasn't even making things easier for him. "Can you come over to
Marrying My High School Bully Leave or fight
Chapter 154Melissa It was over a week since Leonardo managed to outsmart the cops and ran away, and I'd admit that I lost my peace of mind ever since. He could be lurking around, patiently waiting for the right time to strike and I wouldn't know. I wanted it all to end. I wanted to live happily with my family, take a long break from work and just reap all the fruits of my hard work, but all of my wishes wouldn't happen with Leonardo running freely while his daughter was behind bars. Dexter came into the room with a brown envelope in his hands. Once he heard that Leonardo had escaped, he lost his peace as he aided the cops in searching for him. He had become a shadow of his handsome self, as he was more interested in keeping Lilly and I safe. "Hi, cupcake, how was your day?" I asked as he sank on the bed and kissed my lips lightly. His hands moved to my abdomen which he caressed fondly. It was still flat as the pregnancy hadn't gotten to three months. It was a good thing becau

Chapter 153Melissa Seeing that everyone was already seated in the boardroom, including Leonardo and the rest of the staff, I stood up to address them. "I'm sure you are all wondering why I called for this impromptu meeting. It's because we have an important announcement to make, but before that, I'd like to appreciate everyone who is working tirelessly to ensure that Hills Jewelry is back to the top again." I said and they followed my speech with an ovation. I spoke to them with an air of confidence, passing glances at Leonardo who tried to hide his frown. If only he knew what I had in store for him today, he wouldn't be present at the meeting at all. But I found a way to lure him here, promising him that I was going to help him return to his former position. "You all showed me love and unwavering support, and in these few days of working together, we have been able to convince Troy Golds to partner with us. The partnership will be more beneficial to us because of their influenc

Chapter 152DexterMy heart thudded faster as I waited patiently in Doctor Luca's office for him to come with the DNA test result. I knew that Liam claimed to be Lilly's father and he had several ways of proving it, but for some unknown reasons, I hoped that a miracle would occur and the result would be in my favor. The door made a creaking sound as Doctor Luca let himself in. I searched his face for a clue, but as usual, his face gave away nothing. He sank onto his seat and said nothing for some seconds, then he inhaled and fixed his gaze on me. "The result is ready." He announced like I didn't know already. "Can I have it?" I asked curtly, getting cranky by the minute. He passed a brown envelope to me which I opened. A white paper fell out and I opened it, unwilling to drag the tension further. I scanned through the information, unable to make out what it meant until I got to the end and saw the statement of the result. My heart plummeted when I read that the probability of my
