Marrying My High School Bully Searching for Lorraine
Chapter 65Dexter "Oh God!" I groaned, forcing my eyes open as the brightness of the room jolted me from my sleep. I shouldn't have jerked or made any sharp movement because the effect went straight to my head, causing a banging headache. What in God's name happened last night? Why did I feel like something had gone wrong but I couldn't do anything? I stood up slowly, afraid of losing control, then I held onto the edge of the sofa to steady myself. A realisation hit me. I slept on the sofa...! Lorraine? My heart skipped a beat. Where was Lorraine? "Baby," I called, taking the stairs in twos, eager to get to the bedroom. She didn't respond, rather my voice echoed back. I held my breath, barging into the room with my worst fear rising to my throat. What if she had fainted again and I didn't know? What if she got sick again? Several 'what ifs' crossed my mind, but it didn't assuage the panic I felt when I met the bed empty. The sheet was neatly arranged just the way I left i
Marrying My High School Bully Is that Lorraine?
Chapter 66Dexter Okay... This is going to be fun. "W-What k..kind of question is that?" She stuttered, her cheeks flaming red. I folded my arms and huffed. "I asked a simple question that needs a simple response. I hope you know that you're wasting my time." I said calmly, even though I was anything but calm. She straightened her hair and swallowed nervously, unable to keep my gaze. "Ummm..." She took a deep breath. "I went to the office and asked after her, then Stefan told me where she went. Are you happy now?" She snarled, picked up her purse and walked past me. "Are you sure about that?" I probed further, watching her uneasy gesticulations. "Yes. You can go ahead and ask him if you think I'm lying. I'm out of here." She hurried out of the living room. Once again, good riddance to bad rubbish. Now that she was gone, the reality of Lorraine's absence dawned on me. The house was empty and boring without her. I couldn't even think straight. I called Drake and he picked up
Marrying My High School Bully Kiss me!
Chapter 67Lorraine "How was your day?" Stella asked me just as she returned from work. I quickly dried my eyes and sniffed. "Boring. " I replied quietly, staring at the flower on the table beside the wall. She dropped her bag and sat down beside me, tilting my face to hers. "You've been crying all day. Take a look at your face, it's red and swollen and you have become a shadow of yourself." She said gently, though deeply worried. I couldn't hold back my emotions as my body retched with heavy sobs that turned into a bawl. It had been my routine since I dropped by at her place after leaving Dexter's house last night. She was surprised to see me at first, then I told her that I wouldn't stay for long, and I just needed somewhere to lay my head and that would be it. She agreed and when she left for work, the burden of my present reality came crashing down my fragile shoulders. I couldn't eat anything, not even the toast bread she prepped before leaving as it was repulsive to me. "
Marrying My High School Bully We meet again
Chapter 68Dexter Was I dreaming? I pushed the stripper aside who tried to give me a lap dance after I asked her not to bother, while wondering who trained them. I made my way through the midst of sweaty bodies, dancing wildly to the songs as if they had no problem to deal with and for a moment I wished to be them. By the time I could get to the bar, she had already left. My heart was torn into pieces because she had to see such a disgusting sight. Now I have proven to her that I didn't care which was exactly what she feared. How could I have chased the woman I'd been having sleepless nights for because of my indecision? With my shoulders drooped, I decided to go home, having nothing else to do in the club. Then I heard my name from a familiar voice and spun around. "Stella? What are you doing here?" I asked with a lighter tone as I didn't want anyone to sense that I was in a dilemma. She inclined her head, holding back a smile. "Well, I came here to have some fun since this i
Marrying My High School Bully It's not what you think
Chapter 69Lorraine He hesitated, his breathing ragged as his eyes narrowed towards my parted lips. Slowly, he lowered his head with his eyes closed. My pulse raced as I anticipated his lips on mine. Nothing mattered right now as I just wanted to do something that would distract me from my pain. I shut my eyes as well, licking my lower lips as I craned my neck to meet him. Our lips barely touched, then he retracted his neck and whispered. "No." My eyes fluttered open as I gaped at him in surprise. "Why aren't you kissing me?" I asked, a bit offended at his subtle refusal to do what I wanted. "Because you don't really want it." He replied in a clipped tone. Anger shot through me as I glared at him. "And what makes you think that you know what I want? I want you and your eyes are blazing with need for me. You can't hide it, Bumpy, so let's just enjoy this short moment and be done with it." I flared, frustrated at the calm manner at which he stared at me. "Dexter came here today,
Marrying My High School Bully Together again
Chapter 70Lorraine I opted for the former and chased after him. Luckily I was able to stop him before he left the condo. "Come on, Dexter. Allow me to explain. It's not what you think."He scoffed, propping his arms against his waist. "That's the cliche line people use after hurting others intentionally." He accused me without remorse. "I woke up this morning and found out you were gone. I searched everywhere for you including Arnold's house, and he told me that he had no idea of where you could be. He even told me that you have never been to his house before." I raked through my hair in frustration. This wasn't how I wanted things to go. "Everything he told you was the truth." I debated angrily, unsure of what to do next. "After I saw that skank grinding you at the club, I couldn't just take it. So I asked Bumpy for his address. He was the one who encouraged me to come back home." I spat back, my voice taking a higher pitch. He seemed to understand me as his breathing became un
Marrying My High School Bully An unexpected proposal
Chapter 71Lorraine A smile crept to my face when I saw how peaceful Dexter's sleep was. He was shirtless, the covers ridden down to his waist together with the bright sun rays reflecting into the room gave me a mind blowing sight. I gazed at the rise and fall of his broad chest, his stretched sturdy abs and his thick muscles. His jet black hair which covered a part of his gorgeous face. Oh, how I loved his ripped body. His eyes flipped open as he greeted me with the sexiest smile ever. "Are you just checking me out? I thought you would eat me up as well." My cheeks heated as I looked away. That wouldn't be a bad idea, but I didn't feel like going on another round with him, even though he was capable of putting me in the mood. "Good morning, hubby." I evaded his question. "Did you sleep well?" I brushed away the strands of his hair. He nodded, his skilled fingers reaching for my thighs under the covers. "With a beautiful angel beside me, I'm sure to sleep like a baby." He jo

Chapter 72Lorraine "These dresses are so beautiful." Stella cooed, as she accompanied me to the dress store. Several beautiful wedding dresses caught my attention, their designs appealing and mind blowing, making me wish I could try all of them. I would have been more happy if Victoria was around to shop with me. She had a good sense of fashion, and with just one look, she'll make the perfect choice for me. "Yes, they are very beautiful. I can't wait to find the right one." I agreed, blushing as we trotted further into the store. An attendant walked towards us with a charming bright smile that I couldn't help but return. "Good morning. I'm here to shop for a dress." I announced with more enthusiasm needed than usual. She clapped her hands eagerly. "Well, you're in the right place because over here, there are hundreds of beautiful dresses you can pick from at affordable prices. And if you want, I can help you choose what suits you then we'll start with the fitting." She offered.

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
