Chapter 54Lorraine Drake opened the revolving door that led to the boutique for me to go in. I sighed as I glanced at the clothes arranged in different racks at different positions. “We have to get you a nice dress that will make you stand out, then we'll head to the salon so your hair can be taken care of.” He listed the activities for the evening which I took note of. I wasn't looking forward to the party, but I know it was important to Dexter or he wouldn't have asked me to come along. I wondered what could be going on with him. Sometimes, he'd show me how sweet he could be and other times, he'd act like we are complete strangers. Gradually I was getting used to his attitude even though it was difficult. “Let's get to it then. We don't want to waste Dexter's time.” I said sarcastically. His lips parted as if he had something to say, then snapped his mouth shut immediately. “Don't worry, everything will be fine.” I ignored his words of encouragement and advanced towar
Chapter 55Lorraine The party was in full swing by the time we arrived. Several couples trooped in with smiles on their faces; most of them were fake apart from mine which stemmed from the sense of fulfillment I felt in torturing Dexter. Each time our eyes met, he didn't bother to mask how much he wanted me. Unfortunately, I wouldn't give in. He needed to have a taste of his own medicine. "Can you fill me in on the details of the party? I need to be able to make easy conversations, you know." He explained the purpose of the party with hesitation, scowling at everyone who took a second glance at me. "You shouldn't have worn this. Now I'd have to constantly remind these men that you are with me." He whined. "You don't have to go through the stress, dear husband. It's not important." I said as a waiter passed us with a tray. I picked up a glass of white wine and downed the whole contents. "Let's talk later." He was clearly shocked by my new attitude, but if I had to act this way t
Chapter 56Lorraine My eyes were filled with tears but I willed them not to spill. Not in front of these people who enjoyed my humiliation and even added to it. I was chill; too stunned to speak or yell at them to stop playing the video. I couldn't even imagine who would have taken a video of me and Victoria in our most vulnerable states. Dexter stormed forward as the guests cleared the way for him. I didn't bother to call him back as I anticipated his next line of action. He collected the microphone from the host of the party and cleared his throat. His steel gaze trained on everyone of us. With my eyes fixed on him, I could see how hard it was for him to control this temper. "Good evening, everyone." He began with a cold tone. "I was invited to this party by a friend and honestly, my wife and I have been enjoying it until now." My heart melted as he publicly called me his wife and that statement emboldened me as I ignored the snide remarks that were thrown at me. "Someone ou
Chapter 57Lorraine I gasped, palming my lips as I darted my gaze around the guests who stared at me expectantly. They'd never forgive me if I gave a negative response though I didn't have plans of doing that. "I'm giving this one more shot, Dexter, so I'll be your wife, but have it at the back of your mind that you just signed up for a whole new coaster ride with me." I giggled and the guests began to chant ‘say yes’. Since there was no ring, all he had to do was get up from his feet and hug me. I felt at peace in his embrace, just the way I used to feel years back. He had always been my savior and now he'd proved again that he would always be there for me. "I didn't expect today to turn out this way but I'm so glad to have you fully as my wife." He held me tightly as I blushed. "I think I'm happier than you are." "Are you?" I wriggled my brows. He loosened his hold around me. "I'm starving right now and there are only two things that can satisfy me: You and your meal." I tap
Chapter 58Lorraine "Wakey Wakey." Dexter sang loudly as his side of the bed dipped when he climbed on it. "Rise and shine, your majesty." He clapped. I rubbed my eyes slowly, the sun rays bursting through the window and reflecting on my face. I opened my eyes quickly to find a tray on the bed with a plate of omelette, bacon, two slices of pancakes and freshly made orange juice to go with it. My lips stretched into a smile as I snatched the tray from him. "This looks so delicious. When did you have the time to make all of this?" My mouth was already watering as I couldn't wait to dive into the meal. While I slept like a baby, my man kept himself busy in the kitchen. How good it was to see this adorable part of him all the time. "Thank you for breakfast, Dexter. Have you had anything to eat?" I asked and he shook his head. "Don't bother about me, your satisfaction is my priority." He stood up, duffed an invisible cap, then gave a mock bow. I giggled as I bit into the hot pan
Chapter 59Dexter I tried to slam the door on her and walk away but Lorraine stopped me, silently begging me with her eyes to hold on. Emilia palmed her hands together, her orbs getting misty as she blinked hard. "Please, just let me in. I promise I won't take your time. " She employed the most pitiful tone that was already getting to Lorraine. Who cares if she stayed for just a minute? Her presence was already irritating me because I knew what she was up to. How could she come out of the blues and begin to plead with me on her knees after everything she had done? “Dexter, please, let her in. I think she has something important to say." Lorraine requested weakly. I raked through my hair in frustration. Couldn't she see through the pleas and fake pitiful expression that it was all for show? I didn't know what it was yet, but I intended to find out. "Let her in then." I agreed. "But I won't be here for whatever nonsense she has to say. " I walked away, leaving both of th
Chapter 60Lorraine I nearly flung myself at Victoria, who was standing in front of the café's entrance when we saw each other again. After going on two rounds of lovemaking earlier this morning, Dexter suggested that we visited his sister and I didn't hesitate in agreeing. I could imagine how lonely she'd be now that her freedom had been taken from her. "How have you been?" I held her tightly, caressing her hair as she sobbed on my shoulder. She sniffed and cleaned her eyes. "Lonely," She replied just as I expected. "But I didn't expect you guys here. It's such a wonderful surprise." She giggled. Dexter stepped closer to us and pulled his sister in for a hug. I gave them some space, watching their public display of love. Dexter, who looked troubled on his way here, became relaxed. We all sat down after the exchange of pleasantries and a waiter came to take our order. "How's the place like? Do they treat you badly? Does any part of your body hurt?" I threw the questions at her,
Chapter 61Lorraine It felt so good to prepare for the main runway show. Despite the obstacles that caused me some distractions, it didn't stop me from getting the job done. The new designs were mind blowing and I couldn't wait to put them on. I could own all of them if I wanted, all I needed to do was make a demand and it will be settled. As soon as the artist finished with my face, Dexter barged in with a bright smile, his eyes blaring with adoration for me. I liked it when he looked at me that way, like he wasn't tired of being with me. Ever since the video about my marriage with Dexter hit the internet, my colleagues stayed away from me and changed their attitude. Marianna, who disliked me with passion, went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable when I came this morning. I guess they were all scared of losing their contracts with the agency. "You look so stunning, baby. I can't wait for you to climb that stage and show them who the boss is." He said, hyping me wi
