All Chapters of Forced Marriage to the Psychotic Billionaire: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Markris carried a sleeping Lorena from the garden in his arms. He passed by the living room, ignoring the stares from his servants. What did he care if they knew about their lovemaking? She was his wife, after all."Wife." He tried to sound it aloud, and it felt weird. However, he was beginning to warm up to this whole marriage thing. It felt good to have someone willing to stay by your side, despite your shortcomings. God knew he had put her through enough."You." He called out, recognizing them as one of Tanika's replacements whenever she was on her day off."My lord." He immediately paused and bowed."Go to the garden, and get me the package I left behind.""Yes, sir." He took to his heel immediately, and Markris proceeded upstairs.He went straight into his room and gently dropped Lorena on the bed. Pushing the duvet up, he tucked her in, then placed a light kiss on her forehead. She murmured incoherently in her sleep and puckered her lips. He chuckled, placing a kiss on them. She

"You did enough to control his fever," Lorena smiled weakly at Dr Esteban, Markris's doctor. He had been informed last night about Markris's situation, but he wasn't available then. He had to instruct Lorena on what to do over the phone. Seeing his temperature was almost normal now. She had done a good job. "Well," He stood up, gently closing the medical box he brought with him that morning. "He should wake up soon."Lorena searched his eyes as if there was something he was hiding from her. "You didn't say what is wrong with him. Is he okay?"A small smile danced around the corner of the older man's eyes, his lips twitching too. " You care about him, don't you?"Lorena's face scrunched, wondering why he thought this was some funny moment. She didn't know the man but didn't like how he was so carefree about such a serious issue. "Of course, I care about him.""Good," He nodded. "Adriano is fine or will be fine. It's just stress. I reckon he has been working a lot recently?""Yes." She

Lorena strode into the kitchen, her phone tucked in between her ears. "So you're going today, yeah?" She asked, walking to the fridge."My lady." Tanika mouthed on seeing her come in, and she nudged her head in acknowledgment."Yeah, Hermes said he'll drive me there. Honestly, he's been really sweet and supportive." She said, and Lorena could picture the smile on her face.Hermes looked like a genuinely good guy, and she couldn't help but be happy for her friend. "So what are you too like? Lovers, or just friends?" She adjusted the phone so her shoulders served as support as her hands ransacked the fridge in search of a particular juice Markris wouldn't stop asking for."Honestly, we're just taking it one day at a time. Right now, we're more focused on meeting Isabe-" She paused, taking a deep breath. "I meant Helena, and seeing if she's, you know, really my baby." Her voice fizzled out into a breathless whisper."Don't beat yourself over this, Alma. I'm telling you, Helena is your ch

Lorena stood in front of the mirror, stark naked. Tonight, she was going on her very first date with Markris, and she wanted to look flawless. If anyone had told her she'd ever reached the stage where she couldn't wait to see him, she would never have believed them. But here she was, standing naked in his room."My lady?" She heard Tanika call outside the door and quickly picked up a towel. Wrapping herself with it, she instructed the girl to come in."My lady, a package was just delivered to you." She said, coming in with a garment bag in hand. She went straight to bed, placed the heavy bag on it, and then turned to face Lorena."What's that, Tanika?" She asked, her face all scrunched up."I don't know," Tanika shrugged. "I guess you should open it, but I think it's a dress. Maybe there's a note somewhere.""Oh?" Lorena moved to the bed and sat on it. "What did the delivery person say when they handed the package to you?" She asked, contemplating the wisdom in opening a package she

As the dark clouds parted ways to streams of light, the birds came out to play. They flew around the sky, chirping heartily. Tired of laying on the hospital bed, Lorena strolled through the garden. The smell of antiseptic wafted through the hospital corridors, mixing with the scent of the blooming flowers. She took a deep breath as her bare feet tingled from the caress of the grasses.Just last night, her father and Verona had seen her. Her dad was more interested in the fact that she had lied about her pregnancy than anything else. When she mentioned her plans to leave Markris's house, he blatantly told her not to return home. The thought of those words alone made her scoff aloud. Like she wanted to return to Paolo Cicero's house, she realized it was time to take her life into her hands. Her dad would never change, and she was honestly done with caring about anything anyone said.As she moved through the garden, she sighted a sculpture that fascinated her and decided to check it ou
