Marrying My High School Bully A baby?
Chapter 89Melissa I sucked in air and straightened my spine before turning around to face him. He was already on his feet with his brooding eyes trained on me. His lips were pursed and his eyes darkened as he kept staring at me. "You don't have to leave." He said gently and I shrugged. "Why shouldn't I? I've just been here for less than ten minutes and you're already talking down on me..." I paused to control my temper. There was no need for us to banter words when we could talk like mature adults. He snapped his finger and Stefan scurried out of the office, leaving the both of us alone. The room immediately became charged, so tense that I nearly lost my composure. I clutched onto my bag tightly, hoping that I wasn't the only one feeling the tension. "I'm sorry, miss Rogers. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that," He strolled away from the protection of his table and crossed over to where I stood by the door. "But you are feisty and I like that." His smirk played on and I f
Marrying My High School Bully old feelings
Chapter 90Dexter Staring at those beautiful gray eyes ignited a deep feeling that I'd buried for a long time. She reminded me of the woman I loathed so much. My late wife, Lorraine. Her alluring lips that revealed her feisty side snapped shut when Emilia barged in. I quickly hid my displeasure in her intrusion seeing that my beautiful daughter was around. She was the only reason I wouldn't lash out at Emilia. My eyes darted to miss Rogers who seemed to be awestruck on seeing me with a child. I wasn't sure, but it felt like the sight broke her heart and the urge to go after her when she stormed out of the office overwhelmed me. Emilia placed her palm on my chest, reminding me of her presence while I shoved it off. "Why are you staring at her like that? All your attention should be on me and your child." She pouted. I ignored her and planted kisses all over Lilly's body. Due to how busy I was, I couldn't visit her frequently, but I made sure that they were properly taken care of
Marrying My High School Bully The first step
Chapter 91Melissa Within the confines of my car, I let it all out. The hot tears, the sobs that clogged my throat tightly and waited for me to be alone before erupting. I fought back the tears, angry that I was doing little in obliterating the emotional part of me. I disliked the fact that little things could still affect me when I was supposed to just shove it off and move on. Maybe it was because I had high expectations which Dexter had successfully shattered. I dug into my bag in search of my phone so I'd call the only one who genuinely cared about me. Simultaneously my phone rang with his name popping on the screen. "Dad?" My lips trembled as I held back a sob. "Melissa, are you alright? You sound broken. Didn't the meeting go well?" He asked worriedly. He stayed back in Mexico, where his headquarters was situated, then made sure that everything I needed to have a successful stay here in California was provided for. I didn't want to attract attention to myself by living e
Marrying My High School Bully An accidental meeting
Chapter 92Melissa By the time I finished discussing with him, I was drained and furious. Leonardo had no idea of how to run a business well. All he knew how to do was spend money on frivolities, including the numerous women he partied with every weekend. I kept track of his lifestyle and from what I'd seen it was very appalling. I could say without a single doubt that every dime he spent was from the company's purse. That was the money made from the jewelry sold and it was to be used to run the company. Apparently, he was busy running his life as he pleased. Having confirmed my suspicions, I stopped by his secretary's office to pass a brief information to her. She was one of my numerous informants I employed to watch Leonardo and since I was already at the office, I just felt that it would be more efficient to tell her what I wanted in person rather than sending a text. Before I returned to California, I called his previous secretary and paid her to quit her job. The tip off was

Chapter 93Melissa My palms became clammy with sweat as I avoided his unsettling gaze. It didn't waver, instead he fixed it on like I was the only one who mattered. The only woman in the bar. I cleared my throat since I was becoming more jittery by each passing second. "What would you like to have?" His stoic gaze turned puzzled. "You want to get me something? I think I should be the one doing that since I barged into your privacy." "Well, you did." I chimed in and we both laughed at my snide remark. Then I signaled the waiter to come over. "Why are you in a bar? You should be with your family right now." I forced the difficult question out of my mouth, while gauging his reaction. The atmosphere was already tense even though we didn't act like it, and I didn't want to further heighten it. "Lilly is my only family." He spat coldly. I cocked my head to the side, maintaining a straight look and ignoring the butterflies fluttering in my stomach. "Just Lilly? What about the woman th
Marrying My High School Bully A bombshell
Chapter 94Melissa It was three days after I walked out from Dexter at the bar and I was overwhelmed with guilt. The urge to call him and apologize for being rude gnawed in my chest, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Staring at my reflection in the mirror, I consoled myself with the fact that I'd see him again to sign the contract. Then I'd use a stone to kill two birds by apologizing once we were done. Wearing an Armani dark blue skirt suit added to my confidence as I traipsed out of my condo and headed for his company. My heart beat with anticipation, knowing that Emilia would be present. It was time for the head to become the tail. I got to the building in no time and I stopped by his secretary's office. Since it was a decision that affected the reputation and finances of the company, the board of directors had to be available for the meeting. The boardroom was on the third floor so I headed for the elevator in the hallway. I pressed one of the floor buttons and it dinged
Marrying My High School Bully A small win
Chapter 95Melissa Silence reigned in the boardroom but I already knew what the answer was going to be. Resignation glared in their faces and I reveled in it. It was nice being the reason for everyone's silence. Till now, I never believed such a day would come when everyone would try to please me. Whispers went around, while Emilia looked to Dexter whose expression was unreadable for help. I kept a passive look, then began scrolling through my phone to bid time. "We've made a decision." Dexter announced while I dropped my phone aside. "But we'll also like to know why you want Emilia to be your assistant." Great. It was time to employ my philanthropic mode. One that would make me look like the helper and Emilia the true bitch she really was. "My reason is simple. As you all know, I like to offer help in any way I can and I've observed that Emilia is in true need of it. Her career is dying and by taking her to shows and having her work with me, I believe that it will have a great

Chapter 96Melissa We had almost gotten to the passenger's seat when I decided to intervene. "I'm not sure Emilia will like this. She might be hurting." I uttered softly, knowing that I was stirring up his emotions. "As if," He scoffed and dropped me on the ground then opened the car door. "First of all, she hurt you first and I'd have to talk to her about it later. Secondly, I don't really care about her, alright? So stop worrying about trivialities and allow me to take care of you." He grumbled, my heart racing faster. "Yes, sir." I replied sarcastically, my body giddy with suppressed excitement and went in. No lies, I was hurting. She'd pulled my hair too hard and if not for the trap I'd set for her, I would have faced her squarely. But this wasn't the time to go physical on her. Using my emotions and acting weak would get more reactions. I silenced my phone intentionally because of the notifications that threatened to cause a malfunction in my device. I'd take care of revenge

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
