Chapter 12Dexter"Stop it!" I yelled as I jerked up my feet. "I asked you to leave the room and I'm very serious about it." The intensity of my rejection caused her to stagger backward as she leaned on the wall, her back pressing onto it for support. She sniffed and blinked continuously and when I stared at her eyes, I saw how misty it had become. Yeah, I could be cold and nonchalant but that doesn't mean that I went around hurting everyone's feelings. She sniffed again as she couldn't hold back her tears. "I love you, Dexter," She blurted. I hid my surprise well, my feelings properly hidden with a stoic mask of nonchalance. She should know better than to fall in love with me or did she expect me to grow feelings for her all of a sudden because of how frequently I called her over? "You're not saying anything." She rasped when she noticed how silent I'd become. With a shrug, I approached her fluidly after arranging my pants and tucking my manhood in. "I'm silent because I can't

Chapter 14Lorraine I refused to acknowledge how much Dexter's worried expression affected me. I thought we both loathed each other? How could my pain make him feel this way? He flashed a reassuring stare at me, "How do you feel?" He didn't even wait for me to respond when he bombarded me with another question. "Is it getting any worse? Don't worry, we'll soon arrive at the hospital." "Thank you." I whispered as I willed myself to refrain from touching my ankle. The pain increased by the minute but I suppressed the yelp that nearly burst out of my lips and thought of how to continue the conversation. "How did you know that I'd sprained my ankle?" "I was about to enter the room to check on the progress of the training when I heard your scream. It really did something to me and I'd have lost my peace if I didn't help out." He responded with a little grudge. A smile formed at the corner of my lips and butterflies fluttered in the pit of my stomach, knowing that he still cared a bi

Chapter 16Lorraine I regretted asking him that question immediately after the words left my mouth. "Sure," He answered with a lackadaisical tone. "You're going to give me a child, Lorraine. It's a part of the contract." He said obstinately while I raked my hand through my hair. "I can't get pregnant now." I retorted. He folded his hands with an amused expression. "Why not?" My eyes churned with tears at his emotionless question but I blinked hard to keep them from falling. "I don't think I'm ready to have a child after what happened with Eden. Right now, I'm still trying to find myself and having a child with someone I don't love... That would be very difficult." I explained. I loved him before, but I wasn't sure I didn't right now. There were several barriers between us and having a child for him would do nothing but remind me of my resentment for him. "That's well understood and I won't bug you now, but you still have a lot of time to have my child." He walked away, endi

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 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
