Chapter 52Lorraine I couldn't understand why I reacted the way I did, but it was surprising to find Victoria and Bumpy making out in the ward. Heck! How did he even know that she was there? Maybe I reacted that way because I didn't expect them to be back together that easily, but it still didn't make any sense that I had to run off like that. "Lorraine!" He shouted, his heavy steps resonating behind me, but I didn't stop. "Wait up, please." I was already feeling embarrassed and the quirky stares that the nurses passed at me didn't help matters. A nightmare had aroused me from my sleep some minutes ago, and it was more painful that Dexter wasn't beside me. I didn't even notice him leaving. Feeling scared, I rushed out of the hotel room without checking how I looked, ignored Drake's warning that I should stay in and rushed to the hospital. That was my mistake because I should have stayed back and waited for Dexter. I felt a grip on my arm, restricting me from taking any other

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 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 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 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,
