Chapter 41DexterEmilia came in almost immediately, her cheeks swollen, and a very obvious shade of red on them. Her pointed nose had been battered and I was very sure it would take time for her to regain her previous perfect face. "You're such a disgrace, Dexter." She yelled at me. "How could a mere trainee insult me and hit me like that? Take a look at my face. My cheeks are hurting." "I'm sure your hands are still very capable of retaliating, but you didn't do anything other than allow her to remodel your face. I think I like this version," I teased her, enjoying her glares which didn't stem from just anger but resentment. It was obvious that she didn't like me anymore. I could sense it. "You think this is funny, huh?" She tsked, pacing around the office while I leaned on my chair, watching her fall apart. "I guess I might have been saying this all the time but you're surely going to pay for this humiliation. Maybe her body has gotten you hooked, but you'll get tired of her an

Chapter 43Dexter To say that I was angry was an understatement, I was really disappointed in Tori. What hadn't I given her? She lived a life that was enviable by other ladies of her age, yet she wasn't satisfied. I made sure that she lived the best life even though she spent all the money I gave to her on frivolities. My eyes caught the sight of Lorraine who was talking to doctor Luca on my behalf. She noticed how stunned I was to speak so she stepped in. Thank the lord for her. "I'd still have to talk to him." I overheard him say then he walked away while Lorraine returned to me. She led me towards the rows of chairs that bordered outside the wards and made me sit. Concern flashed in her face as she held my hands. "Victoria needs her brother, not a man who resents her." "How did I fail her?" My voice cracked as my emotions surged through my throat. "She's been addicted to drugs and I didn't have the slightest idea." "As long as we've known, Victoria has always been secreti

Chapter 45Dexter I was pretty ticked to hear from him. A conversation with him would ease the tension I'd been feeling since Victoria got admitted. "Spill it." I demanded, my body tethering on the edge. He snorted as if my order had no effect on him. "I'm helping you here so be nice." He fired back with a steel tone. "The dunce you're searching for tried to go off grid, but he wasn't smart enough to keep his tracks covered." "What are you trying to say?" A ray of hope became visible, but I needed him to make it clearer. "One of my staff was able to put a tab on him, so I'll send you his present location through a text. I know you're a busy man but be with your phone at all times, alright?" He didn't wait for me to respond before ending the call. Typical of Wyatt to call anyone working for him a staff. Though it was the right thing to call them, it sounded too formal in my ears for the kind of job they did. I clicked continuously on the side of my phone, eager to get the tex

Chapter 47Lorraine My lips trembled, tremors ran down my spine as I watched him drive recklessly, like he was under the influence of alcohol. We were slowly moving from the streets to the highway and if I didn't do anything right now, it would be hard for me to escape this evil man. I racked my brain, thinking of how to get the car to stop while ensuring that my fear wasn't evident on my face. For the first time in my life, I wanted to be strong even though I might not survive it. An idea flashed like lightning into my mind and I grasped it with all my strength. All I needed was the right time to swing into action or my efforts would be for nothing. I slowly slipped my fingers into my little bag and brought out a needle. A ghost of a smile touched my lips as I remembered the lame reason I kept a needle in my bag. It was to prick annoying bastards that didn't understand what boundaries are all about. It was so sad that this prick driving me off would be the first person to get th

Chapter 49Lorraine "Is everything ready?" I asked after he finished with the receptionist and trotted towards me. He nodded, dangling the keys at me as we both headed to the room he had booked for us. Though my body was giddy with excitement and anticipation, his present disturbed expression didn't go unnoticed. I just hoped that by the time we were done, he'd feel better. "Are you alright?" I asked when I couldn't keep it in any more. "Yes, I'll be." His lips curved into a side smirk as he opened the door. There was nothing more I could do than hope he'll be fine so I decided not to probe further. My eyes took in the simplicity of the suite and I smiled. Trust Dexter to always go for the best. Before getting into the room, he stopped in front of me and helped out with my bag. He dropped the bag on a counter. "Keep this here, baby, you won't be needing it." The tension was gradually dissipating as his fingers slid down my legs. I bit my lower lip as he helped me out of my
