Chapter 17Dexter I watched her leave hastily while putting on my jacket, my mind filled with several thoughts of why she had gotten sudden cold feet. Her reactions to my touch, and the way she moaned that I shouldn't stop touching her made me mad with excitement. But after asking her if she really wanted me, the desire just died off. My heart was tormented with the conclusion that I'd done something wrong and with how tight-lipped she was, I knew that I'd have to move the heavens and the earth to know what really happened. I signaled my chauffeur to drive me to work so that I could think. We had an important meeting with a big organisation who wanted to give us a huge contract and all I could think of was a woman who rejected me twice? Shaking my head vehemently, I decided that I wouldn't allow the thoughts of her to distract me. The contract I was about to bag was much more important than her. After convincing myself over and over again, I put on my laptop and prepared for the
Chapter 18Lorraine The annoying blonde haired lady barged into the training room with a scowl donned on her face. "I've always known that women with innocent faces were more deadly than the devil, but I didn't know that you'd be the one to prove it to me." Emilia fired, interrupting my training session. I willed myself to clamp my lips shut because of my unstable temper that resulted from the brief moment of foolishness I displayed earlier on at home. My mind was still reeling in shock at how I'd let him touch me so intimately. For Christ's sake, my body shouldn't be betraying me this way. I shouldn't even have a soft spot for him. "What do you want?" I snapped at her, causing her to flinch. At least, my response was doing something to bring her down from the high horse she rode on. She chuckled, tsking her tongue as she tilted her head to the side. "What is your relationship with Dexter?" She went straight to the point which I liked. But how on earth did she get the hint that
Chapter 19Lorraine I bobbed my head backward to contain my laughter, which I succeeded in doing. "You aren't serious, are you?" There was hardly any hint of playfulness on his face so I took it that he was serious, but the last thing I'd do is to go on a date with him. "It seems this is a bad idea so I'll just return to my office, but I won't have you loitering around during work hours." He said sternly. "I wasn't loitering." I said in my defense, contemplating on telling him about my encounter with Emilia. It concerned the both of us, so I went ahead. "Emilia suspects something." His eyes widened as he massaged his temples quickly and dropped his hand. "What exactly does she suspect?" "She thinks we are in a relationship." He said nothing else then walked away, his shoulders drooped, probably in disappointment. The day went by in a haze while I earnestly waited for dismissal time. It finally came so I greeted my colleagues goodbye and raced towards the gate. I'd passed thro
Chapter 20Dexter Why did I feel like I'd strained the already overstretched bond that was barely hanging on a thread? I knew how saucy my sister could be with paupers, but Lorraine wasn't one. She was the wife of a billionaire—my wife, yet she agreed to call herself a maid and there was nothing I could do about it. Seeing her all wrapped in Arnold's arm at the entrance that time filled me with a strange kind of feeling I feared to entertain. That moment, it took all my self-will and the reminder that we were in a formal place to stop me from landing an angry punch on his cheeks. No other man has the right to touch her apart from me. I was the only one who could make her body react to my touch even when she thought she didn't want me. I couldn't allow her to continue making a fool of herself so I returned to the sitting room to make sure that Victoria wasn't going overboard on her, and I almost regretted it because Emilia was seated on my chair with a gobsmacked expression on her
Chapter 21Lorraine A weary feeling of anxiety washed over me, knowing that it was the last day of training before the mini runway show. Today, we were to showcase what we had been practicing all along, then the models that should participate in the show would be shortlisted. That was where the anxiety stemmed out from. Victoria left with Emilia last night and ever since, the atmosphere between us has become more strained than before. My heart yearned to talk to him, even if it was the trivial conversations we used to have. Stefan came into the training room dressed in a long flowing gown with dolman sleeves. His nose, which I didn't notice was pierced, had a medium sized round ring on it. But his queer way of dressing didn't cause a dent to the beauty of his face. Maybe if he dressed more like a man, I'd make him my crush. "Good morning, everyone." He chirped with the same warm smile that he usually greeted us with. "Good morning, Stefan!" We chorused, then I added. "How was y
Chapter 22 Lorraine "Whatever relationship I have with her is none of your business. The only reason I allow you to hang around me is because of that conversation." He seethed. Against my better reasoning, I expected him to blurt that I was his wife. I mentally slapped my face because something was definitely wrong with me. She stomped her foot on the ground vehemently, trying to voice out words which remained stuck in her throat. Her jaw was clenched as if she was barely stopping herself from throwing a punch at Dexter. "You are so annoying." She said through gritted teeth. "You promised to do whatever I wanted, is this how you keep to your word?" Really? He made a promise to her after confessing that there was nothing between them? There and then, I realised that I'd been such a fool. Listening to their banters would do nothing to eliminate the pain I felt so I spun around and stormed off in search of a cafe. Loud footsteps sounded after me but I wasn't going to stop to list
Chapter 23Lorraine "Thank you very much, sir." I replied shyly after moving away from him quickly, wondering what pushed him to show a public display of affection. He dipped his hands into his pants and smirked. "You are very welcome." Then I realised what happened as his smirk stretched. His hug had two meanings: slowly, he wanted to show everyone that I was his. Secondly, he was truly happy for him. A lot would go down once we got home today. Stefan went on with the name calling while I engaged in an eye battle with him, not minding if others would be giving us a very serious scrutiny. I knew they liked him. Most of the models had gossiped about how they'd do anything to be on his bed because of how sexy he was. Sometimes, I smiled after hearing their conversations, knowing that it would never happen because I for one wouldn't allow it since I was his wife. Yes! The kind of jealousy that spurs through me whenever I see ladies outrightly seducing him couldn't be explained, a
Chapter 24Dexter There was a quick switch in the kind of hormones that rushed through me—the rush of testosterones had dwindled as my adrenaline level rose up. Our secret had been busted and it would be better if I just told her the truth now, seeing how livid she was. "Your maid, Dex?" Her eyes wide with incredulity. "Are you that horny that anyone can do the job for you?" She fired. I could feel it. My anger. It was building up already and the reasons I didn't act on them was because of my relationship with her and my stance on physical violence. "You have to tone it down, Victoria, she's my staff not yours." My voice was gruff and curt, causing her to flinch as she didn't expect my response. Lorraine, who was still tightly held in my arms, kept pinching me, whispering that she wanted to get down. I allowed her, knowing that she was anything but comfortable presently. Victoria slammed the front door shut then traipsed forward with her box. She dropped her bag on the sofa and
