Dexter POVAfter seeing the letter, Aurora has kind of been lost in her thoughts. I knew she was curious; I was curious too. This is too much of a coincidence. But tonight was the night, and I wanted it to be perfect, so I need her to stop worrying about that."Why are we dressing up?" she asked, putting on the dress I got for her. I smiled."Because we have somewhere to go," I said, and she pouted."I thought we were here on a vacation?" she asked, and I kissed her pout."It won't take time. Let me zip you up," I said, and she nodded her head, turning around. I wanted us to match, so she is putting on an olive green dress. It is a short dress, reaching inches below her bum. The arm is an off-shoulder with a short round cape. Simple and classy. I wore a black suit with a tie matching her dress."We are matching," she said, looking at me. I chuckled."Which other way to tell everyone you are mine?" I asked, and she chuckled. I took her hand, making her seat on the bed then I wore the b
Dexter POV“This might be a bad idea, Dexter,” she said, nervously looking at the waves. I chuckled.“The waves are gentle today and the weather is very nice; what could go wrong?” I asked about zipping up my suit. She turned to me.“But I don’t know how to swim,” she said, and I laughed.“I will hold you, Aurora. You have nothing to worry about,” I said. She gulped, looking at the water again. Well, no way would we come to a private beach and not dive. We got here yesterday, and we spent so much time here that when we got back, we were so tired. Today, however, we are about to dive, and while diving, my men are preparing a romantic dinner. Tonight is going to be the night, and of course, I am nervous. But I know I shouldn’t be; Aurora and I need each other, and we love each other. Nothing can go wrong, right?“I thought we came here to have fun and do silly stuff, not diving,” she mumbled, wearing her suit. I chuckled, watching the stubborn pout on her lips. She jumped up, trying to
I smiled, watching her sing along with the song playing on the radio. She was in high spirits and it made me happy. Aurora started classes about a month ago in a business school. I encouraged her to take the exams and I was surprised she was one of the best students to get a high score. I didn’t want to get her into the school using my name, I wanted her to do it with her name and do it the right way. It would be an achievement for her if she achieved everything she wanted to achieve by working hard for it and she hasn’t disappointed me. I see how she always studies, always heads deep in her books and I fear to come to the realization that I am married to a bookworm. She study’s all the time and also asks me a lot of questions which I am happy to answer. When she graduates, she is going to be an unstoppable business woman and I just can’t wait for her growth. “I didn’t know you knew all this country music,” I said, looking at her. She giggled; she was radiating happiness and glowi
Dexter POV“Mrs. King!” I heard my secretary yell as they both entered my office. He was trying to stop her. I looked at Mom, and she looked angry; Eva and Brandon were behind her, and my secretary looked red in the face, breathing out harshly.“Did you slap my secretary?” I asked calmly.“I will do more than that if you don’t put a stop to this nonsense!” she yelled, and I breathed out, turning to my secretary.“I apologise, Noah. Please, take some minutes off,” I said, and he nodded his head, breathing out.“Thank you, sir,” he said, walking away. I turned to Mom.“Mom, you know I have zero tolerance against work bullying or any type of bullying in general. What gives you the right to lay your hands on my worker?” I snapped, keeping my temper at bay.“Tell me why I am finding out on the news that your brother has been removed from office?” she snapped and I scoffed.“So that is what this is about? That is why you brought your son and his bitchy wife to my office,” I said, looking at
Dexter POVThere was a small knock on my office door, and I looked up.“Come in,” I said. The door opened and my secretary walked in.“Mr. Brown is here, sir,” he said, and I smiled, closing the file I was working with.“Let him in,” I said. He nodded his head, walking out and soon, Mr. Brown walked in. He looked nervous seeing me, but I smiled at him slightly.“Good afternoon, Mr. King,” he greeted. I stretched my hand, and he took it.“Good afternoon, please have your seat,” I said, pointing to the seat in front of me. He nodded his head, taking his seat, and he breathed out.“Thank you for honoring my call,” I said, looking at him calmly.“There is no way I would have ignored your call, sir. Why have you called me here?” he asked nervously. I smiled.“No need to be nervous, Mr. Brown. I just called you here for business. We have to keep the agreement of the contract we made, don’t we?” I asked, and he looked at me suspiciously. He has the right to be suspicious. For a few months no
Aurora POVThe ride back home was silent and when we got home, Dexter collapsed on the bed tiredly. I looked at him and his eyes were closed, slowly massaging his temple. I know what happened today must have been overwhelming for him, even though he pretended not to care. You can’t ignore something like that. It will come back to bite you. I felt for him. Maya really didn’t care about him. She wasn’t even remorseful, she only cared about being caught. “Are you okay?” I asked, quietly. He sat up, took my hand, and dragged me to him. He breathed out, hugging me tightly to his chest. “I am better now you are with me,” he said, and I chuckled, hugging him properly.“Do you need anything? Hungry or want to wash up?” I asked, and he stayed quiet. Then he breathed out.“Why aren’t you asking how I am feeling?” he asked, and I smiled.“I know how you feel, Dexter. You deserve to feel that way, but I hope you are strong enough to brush it off. Humans will always disappoint, they are selfish
