Marrying My High School Bully Standing up
Chapter 39Lorraine It didn't get any better from there as series of threats kept popping in my phone a few times a day with different lines. I kept wondering if the fellow had nothing serious to do than to threaten me and make my life miserable. Dexter assured me that he was already looking into it, and I hoped he was, because I was running mad with worry. Someone wanted me to leave him, but the problem was how he or she knew that we were together. Victoria had been more withdrawn since that day. Always keeping to herself inside the room except she was hungry and had to get her dinner. Something was absolutely wrong with her, but I couldn't ask because I didn't want to be insulted. Stefan called me over, informing me that we had some practice to do for the next show. He congratulated me for the success of the lingerie shoot. I could never have been more proud. Immediately I got to his office, I blindfolded his eyes with my palms. "Lorraine?" He called with a slight hint of unce

Chapter 40Dexter She followed me into the office, her ragged pants resonating in the room. I couldn't deny how proud I felt watching her stand up to Emilia. She got whatever she deserved and there was no way I'd punish Lorraine for it. I'd come to their floor just to watch her practice when I saw Emilia hurling insults at her. I wanted to step in so badly, but I didn't need to as Lorraine showed everyone that she couldn't be messed with. And Emilia, she was all talk without strength. It was good for her. "Aren't you going to scold me? I broke a rule." She said flatly, her voice calmer than I expected it to be. I reeled around on my executive chair. "Right now, I'm your boss and not your husband. You won't tell me what to do." She snorted and stomped her foot on the ground, biting her lips. She wasn't even afraid of what I could do to her. One word and her career would be over, yet she wasn't scared? "Alright, I'm sorry for what happened back there. Emilia got on my nerves and

Chapter 41DexterEmilia came in almost immediately, her cheeks swollen, and a very obvious shade of red on them. Her pointed nose had been battered and I was very sure it would take time for her to regain her previous perfect face. "You're such a disgrace, Dexter." She yelled at me. "How could a mere trainee insult me and hit me like that? Take a look at my face. My cheeks are hurting." "I'm sure your hands are still very capable of retaliating, but you didn't do anything other than allow her to remodel your face. I think I like this version," I teased her, enjoying her glares which didn't stem from just anger but resentment. It was obvious that she didn't like me anymore. I could sense it. "You think this is funny, huh?" She tsked, pacing around the office while I leaned on my chair, watching her fall apart. "I guess I might have been saying this all the time but you're surely going to pay for this humiliation. Maybe her body has gotten you hooked, but you'll get tired of her an

Chapter 42Lorraine Dexter and I left the office together, after having the most passionate and exhilarating love making session. I was so sore that I couldn't wait to jump in for a hot bath. It wasn't until we returned to the house that I remembered that my life was still under threat. There was no gathering of people, just the police car with detective Steven and another officer who I didn't know his name. "Are you alright?" Dexter asked with concern. I wasn't alright in any way. Someone was interested in making sure that I go mad with fear and I was doing just that. "I don't know, Dex. No threatening message has popped in my phone this afternoon, but I'm still anxious." My admittance was made through a whisper. Those people who could snap out of reality while present in a conversation needed to be given a gold medal, because I couldn't do it. Dexter's caring gesture permeated through my fears and filled me with the assurance that I had someone. "I'm going to be here with yo
Marrying My High School Bully Losing control
Chapter 43Dexter To say that I was angry was an understatement, I was really disappointed in Tori. What hadn't I given her? She lived a life that was enviable by other ladies of her age, yet she wasn't satisfied. I made sure that she lived the best life even though she spent all the money I gave to her on frivolities. My eyes caught the sight of Lorraine who was talking to doctor Luca on my behalf. She noticed how stunned I was to speak so she stepped in. Thank the lord for her. "I'd still have to talk to him." I overheard him say then he walked away while Lorraine returned to me. She led me towards the rows of chairs that bordered outside the wards and made me sit. Concern flashed in her face as she held my hands. "Victoria needs her brother, not a man who resents her." "How did I fail her?" My voice cracked as my emotions surged through my throat. "She's been addicted to drugs and I didn't have the slightest idea." "As long as we've known, Victoria has always been secreti
Marrying My High School Bully A sad revelation
Chapter 44Lorraine I was over the moon, hearing that she wanted me to be with her after waking up from a few hours of unconsciousness. She might have other plans but I was on guard if she decides to misbehave. The once energetic and vibrant Victoria had become a shadow of herself. Without make-up, she looked frail. Her full hair had become thinner and then I realised a lot of things that caused chills to run down my spine. The full hair might have just been the effect of a hair extension, and her beautiful face a result of constant make-up. She wasn't always home so we couldn't notice if she had issues with her health. Her bulgy eyes were trained on me as if she was expecting me to yell at her. Sorry to burst your bubbles, honey, I'm not that heartless. "How do you feel?" I held her hand which she squeezed in gratitude. A nurse had put her in a sitting position before she left so she could feel more comfortable than just lying flat on the bed. "I honestly can't explain how I f
Marrying My High School Bully Reconciliation
Chapter 45Dexter I was pretty ticked to hear from him. A conversation with him would ease the tension I'd been feeling since Victoria got admitted. "Spill it." I demanded, my body tethering on the edge. He snorted as if my order had no effect on him. "I'm helping you here so be nice." He fired back with a steel tone. "The dunce you're searching for tried to go off grid, but he wasn't smart enough to keep his tracks covered." "What are you trying to say?" A ray of hope became visible, but I needed him to make it clearer. "One of my staff was able to put a tab on him, so I'll send you his present location through a text. I know you're a busy man but be with your phone at all times, alright?" He didn't wait for me to respond before ending the call. Typical of Wyatt to call anyone working for him a staff. Though it was the right thing to call them, it sounded too formal in my ears for the kind of job they did. I clicked continuously on the side of my phone, eager to get the tex
Marrying My High School Bully An unknown destination
Chapter 46Lorraine My phone rang loudly, disrupting my conversation with Victoria but I couldn't complain as the caller was an important one. "Hey, Bumpy," I greeted casually. "Missed me?" He chuckled lazily. "It's part of the reasons I called you, but not the main one." He stated. "What other reason could that be?" "I'm leaving." He responded almost immediately and my heart fell. He couldn't leave, but then I remembered that he came to California because of a business deal with Dexter and he'd have to return to his city. "Are... Are you for real?" I knew that my emotions were becoming obvious but I didn't care. "Let's meet in twenty minutes at the park. Tell your husband about it so he wouldn't send men to strangle my neck when he finds out we are together." He joked, trying to make the atmosphere lighter. It didn't work. Bumpy has become a part of my life. He was the kind of friend I prayed to have and now he was leaving. We could talk over the phone, but it couldn't

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
