Marrying My High School Bully The pain of rejection
Chapter 122Dexter "Don't tell me that you are still pining for a woman that rejected you? I thought you wouldn't be capable of falling in love again, but here you are, sulking like a breast-starved baby." Wyatt made a jest of me as he twirled his chair around playfully, raising his eyebrows at me in disbelief. If he wasn't genuinely concerned about my situation, I'd have thrown him a punch. But right now, he was the only one I could bear my feelings to without getting judged. "I don't know how it's happening, man, and please, don't make a jest of me. My life is in shambles and right now I don't even know what to do." I confessed. My mind replayed the conversation Melissa and I had, and my heart skipped a beat. I knew that I shouldn't be thinking of getting into another relationship when I hadn't even gotten out of my failed marriage with Lorraine, but I didn't know what to do. "Why did you ask her out anyways? We haven't even found Lorraine yet," I threw him a hard glare and
Marrying My High School Bully She's pregnant
Chapter 123Melissa The past few days had been hectic for me. My emotions took an immediate roller-coaster ride the moment I rejected Dexter's proposal. Sometimes I became overwhelmed with guilt, but standing my ground was the only way I would forge ahead undistracted. Dexter didn't love me, he was attracted to me, but I could tell that he was confused and he was trying to run away from his reality. And that could only be possible if he was no longer on this earth. I bent down to pick up my hair comb and regretted taking that action because I felt dizzy instantly. I quickly held onto the edge of my vanity table, leaning on it till I felt better then I gently collapsed on the bed. This wasn't the first time I felt like this and I couldn't tell what it was. My doctor had cleared me of any illness the last time I went for a check up so I couldn't be sick. My eyes flitted toward the clock and I quickly got up with a gasp. Just like the last time, I'd be running late for the meeting.
Marrying My High School Bully A father of two
Chapter 124Melissa Waking up to meet Dexter pacing to and fro in front of me added to my nausea, but I felt better knowing that someone other than my father was genuinely worried about me. I couldn't wait to tell him about my pregnancy. He's going to be so happy about being a grandfather. Dexter halted his little parade and scooted over to scrutinise my face. "Thank goodness, you're finally awake. I'll go and get the doctor." He exclaimed when he saw that I was awake and made to leave but I was quick to grab his wrist. "Don't go anywhere, Dexter. I'm fine. I fainted out of surprise because I couldn’t believe that I could get pregnant with the present state of my organs." My throat was parched and my tongue felt like I hadn't taken any liquid in days so I made a request. "Can you get me a glass of water?" I asked to evade the inevitable conversation. There was a mug filled with water on the bed stand, so he poured it into a glass and handed it over to me without asking any questi
Marrying My High School Bully Who is Leonardo?
Chapter 125Melissa Why would he be asking me such a question? Was already feeling that I was his estranged wife? I had to give him a wrong answer if I was to sail through this, after all, there'd be no way for him to detect that I was lying to him. "Four years back. It was done by a friend that I didn't know envied my success. That's basically the reason I withdrew from having friends. These days you can't tell the person who's real with you or not." I said softly, hoping that he'd buy my explanation. "I'm so sorry for reminding you of the past, it's just that your story reminds me of Lorraine. And each time I look into your eyes, I can see the uncanny resemblance between the both of you. It's really crazy." He admitted and I scoffed, feigning anger, even though I was happy that he could feel the familiarity. It was good to know that he hadn't completely forgotten about me, my new face caused the confusion. "Do you really have to talk about her all the time? I thought you like
Marrying My High School Bully Emilia and Liam
Chapter 126Author's POV "If it isn't the cheap whore," She scoffed and approached Dexter with her fake sweet smile that I itched to slap off her face. There were two reasons I didn't make a move at her: I was pregnant, and she also saved me from having to explain who Leonardo was. "Honey, you've got to stop calling me cheap if you want to get your salary for this month. And after you're done with whatever reason you came here for, you come to me. I haven't used your services in a while." I concluded my statement with a smirk and her eyes turned red. Apparently, she had forgotten that I intentionally made her work under me so that I could make her life miserable. The only reason I loosened the iron grip I had on her was because I'd been overwhelmed with work. "Call her a whore again and you'll join Liam where he is." He thundered, averting his attention from me. I liked that he stood up for me. I liked how his nose flared, and how his eyes darkened into a deeper shade of bro
Marrying My High School Bully Ending Liam
Chapter 127Author's POV She decided in her heart that Melissa would go through the same fate Lorraine went through, all she needed was time to sort out Liam's case. Since Dexter couldn't give her a listening ear, she had to go on with her father's plan or her secret would be out. She dialed Leonardo's number and stomped on her foot on the ground, waiting for him to pick up. He finally answered the call at the second ring. "Did he listen to you?" Leonardo asked almost nonchalantly. "No, he didn't. That Melissa bitch was there with him, maybe that was why he didn't give me a good response. I've told you that we need to eliminate the witch because she has disrupted my relationship with him." She said and Leonardo chuckled over the phone. "You have my permission to end Liam, but in your quest to keep your secrets hidden, do not hurt Melissa until I'm done with her. Do you get me?" He warned her, his voice stern and void of any hint of playfulness. She didn't like his decisi
Marrying My High School Bully A great feat
Chapter 128Melissa I walked into the dimly lit room where the meeting I'd made arrangements for was to hold. I was impressed to see Mr Han, Mr Manor, and Mrs Gonzales, sitting patiently and waiting for me. The meeting was a secret one, that was why we used one of the hotels that belonged to my father. "Good evening, everyone. How are you all doing?" I greeted them, receiving their warm hand shakes. "I'm fine and really excited to be here." Mr Han said with a formal tone. Mrs Gonzales gave me a hug and I patted her at the back. She had a certain way of looking at me as if she had so much to make up for. I itched to tell her that it wasn't her fault, but that was after the meeting was over. "Let's get to the topic for the evening. First of all, I'd like to apologize for missing yesterday's meeting. I suddenly fell ill when I got to the venue and I had to be rushed to the hospital." They didn't need to be explained to since I was basically their boss, but if they were to fully
Marrying My High School Bully The wrong corpse
Chapter 129Dexter My fingers grazed over Lorraine's number and I smiled. The urge to call her almost all the time, just to know how she was doing was slowly consuming me but I didn't mind. She was carrying my child and I had to make sure that she was safe, no matter what. Just when I thought that fate was against us, it proved me wrong by bringing us back together again in the most unexpected manner. I could imagine her stomach growing bigger and popping through her dresses. I could imagine her swapping her well-tailored suits that made her look chic and bossy at the same time, for nice looking maternity dresses that she'd need to feel comfortable. My mind gradually created pictures of how chubby she would be when her stomach got bigger. Since I returned from work, I decided to relieve myself of stress by watching pregnancy videos and I'd learnt more than I did when Emilia was pregnant. At least I'd have the opportunity to lift her stomach when it gets really big and heavy, and

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
