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 An escape
Chapter 47Lorraine My lips trembled, tremors ran down my spine as I watched him drive recklessly, like he was under the influence of alcohol. We were slowly moving from the streets to the highway and if I didn't do anything right now, it would be hard for me to escape this evil man. I racked my brain, thinking of how to get the car to stop while ensuring that my fear wasn't evident on my face. For the first time in my life, I wanted to be strong even though I might not survive it. An idea flashed like lightning into my mind and I grasped it with all my strength. All I needed was the right time to swing into action or my efforts would be for nothing. I slowly slipped my fingers into my little bag and brought out a needle. A ghost of a smile touched my lips as I remembered the lame reason I kept a needle in my bag. It was to prick annoying bastards that didn't understand what boundaries are all about. It was so sad that this prick driving me off would be the first person to get th
Marrying My High School Bully Hurting her captor
Chapter 48Dexter My eyes never strayed from my phone while I paced in the hospital's parking space. I wasn't just counting the seconds till Lorraine got here, I was also checking for updates from Drake. I'd never forget what he did for me today. How he decided to drive around California knowing that the kidnapper wouldn't have gone far. I couldn't leave because I had to keep tabs on my younger sister. Though some of my men were already watching over her, I felt that things would go wrong if wasn't around. My phone beeped, my heart tightening at Drake's message. She was here. My princess was back from the lion's den and I couldn't be more happy. One of my men who followed Drake to search for her sent a message, saying that they got the man who took her away. I was known as one of the most eligible bachelors in the state, and a wealthy billionaire.Truthfully, I dominated the textile space. No one could even come close. But what the internet didn't know was that I could be ruth
Marrying My High School Bully He completes her
Chapter 49Lorraine "Is everything ready?" I asked after he finished with the receptionist and trotted towards me. He nodded, dangling the keys at me as we both headed to the room he had booked for us. Though my body was giddy with excitement and anticipation, his present disturbed expression didn't go unnoticed. I just hoped that by the time we were done, he'd feel better. "Are you alright?" I asked when I couldn't keep it in any more. "Yes, I'll be." His lips curved into a side smirk as he opened the door. There was nothing more I could do than hope he'll be fine so I decided not to probe further. My eyes took in the simplicity of the suite and I smiled. Trust Dexter to always go for the best. Before getting into the room, he stopped in front of me and helped out with my bag. He dropped the bag on a counter. "Keep this here, baby, you won't be needing it." The tension was gradually dissipating as his fingers slid down my legs. I bit my lower lip as he helped me out of my
Marrying My High School Bully Catching the captor
Chapter 50Dexter I watched her fall into a deep and peaceful slumber. She needed to rest, and I needed to deal with someone. My eyes darted to her small lips which she pursed as if she wasn't happy that I forced her to sleep. "Have a good night's rest, angel. " I planted a kiss on her forehead and hoisted myself up gently to avoid arousing her. She stirred immediately like she felt my movement, then turned to the other side of the bed and continued her sleep. I headed for the bathroom and quickly had a shower, then came out to meet a bag on the bed. I opened it and brought out the black dress shirt and matching black pants that I'd asked Drake to get from the house earlier on. Satisfied with how good I looked, I wore my wristwatch and loafers then headed out, after ensuring that Lorraine's body was properly covered. Drake, who was engaged in a conversation with the other men, left them and headed towards me. "Is there anything you want me to do for you, boss?" I shook m
Marrying My High School Bully A big decision
Chapter 51Victoria I wasn't alone. I could sense it even before opening my eyes. Fear gripped me as I jerked out of my sleep and shot a glance at the man sitting opposite me. He sat on a chair, his head placed on my bed. I glanced at the clock and I wondered why he would be around me by this time of the night. Even without looking at his face, I already knew who he was. I gulped, slowly sitting up as I took some time to stare at him before he'd wake up. He was still in shape just as usual, and his hairstyle remained the same. My mind wandered to the past and a pang of guilt gnawed in my chest. I didn't do anything more than hurt him yet he was here. Unable to tame my curiosity, I reached for his arm and woke him up. A scowl appeared on his face after he raised his head, then when he realised that I was the one who touched him he quickly rushed to me, wearing his worries on his face. "Are you alright, Tori?" The tenderness of his voice hit me hard but I made sure he didn't noti
Marrying My High School Bully I know about him
Chapter 52Lorraine I couldn't understand why I reacted the way I did, but it was surprising to find Victoria and Bumpy making out in the ward. Heck! How did he even know that she was there? Maybe I reacted that way because I didn't expect them to be back together that easily, but it still didn't make any sense that I had to run off like that. "Lorraine!" He shouted, his heavy steps resonating behind me, but I didn't stop. "Wait up, please." I was already feeling embarrassed and the quirky stares that the nurses passed at me didn't help matters. A nightmare had aroused me from my sleep some minutes ago, and it was more painful that Dexter wasn't beside me. I didn't even notice him leaving. Feeling scared, I rushed out of the hotel room without checking how I looked, ignored Drake's warning that I should stay in and rushed to the hospital. That was my mistake because I should have stayed back and waited for Dexter. I felt a grip on my arm, restricting me from taking any other
Marrying My High School Bully A rude disruption
Chapter 53Lorraine Life had returned to normal. Dexter and Arnold teamed up and ensured that Victoria was taken to a proper rehabilitation center. I was so happy with her decision and I hoped that she'd come out clean. I resumed practice in earnest as I'd already taken several days off. I didn't want to look lazy because I was with Dexter. Speaking of Dexter who had become extremely distant since he found out about my kidnapper, he was nowhere to be found presently and I had to go to work in Drake's taxi. I didn't mind though. At least, I could have interesting conversations with him before getting to work. Once I got to the training room, we would be bombarded with lectures after lectures, giving me no time to think too much about my relationship with Dexter. Today I'd be practicing on my own as Stella said that I'd almost become perfect in my poses and steps and I didn't need much supervision from anyone. It got me elated and motivated so I focused on my practice. Lunch br

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
