“What was the meaning of that?” I lashed out at him the moment we got home.”
Thankfully, Victoria wasn’t at home so I could unleash my emotions without fear. Dexter was seated on the sofa, eyes following me as I paced to and fro frantically.

Dexter wasn’t saying anything
“You know, I like it when you’re mad. It looks so good on you.” He chuckled, his long hands stretched on the chair.
Immediately. I fixed him with a glare which made him laugh. He got to his feet, his hands tucked away in the pocket of his pants with a grim smirk dar sent tingles down my spine.
He advanced towards me while I contemplated on either staying on the spot or moving backwards. I chose the former option and waited for him Jo stop coming close.
“There’s no point in all of this. You don’t love me, why are you making the both of us miserable?” I broke down in tears, my body vibrating with
anger.
He palmed my shoulder, training the most passionate gaze I’ve ever seen on me. “And who said that I don’t love you?”
A sigh left his laps as far lowered his head and quickly lifted it up again. “I’m sorry for hurting you this way. My outing with Emilia was to protect your

***Liam and Blake would never do such a thing. They knew that I liked you” He said in their defense, tearing my heart further.

I gasped then gulped, angry at myself for expecting too much from him, maybe taking my side. “Your opinion on this matter isn’t business. You knew that they would take videos but you didn’t care, all that mattered was having my body. I promise you Dexter, you will never have access to me again.” My body was trembling as each word left my mouth but I wasn’t going to stop. “I can’t wait for this sham to be over anyways.”
The next thing I got as a response was a flower vase hurled across the sitting room. Then the glass center table was tousled over. “I freaking loved You, Lorraine, with every fiber of my being I did, but when I returned and saw your sex video with another man in your house, I just couldn’t believe it
Another sex video with a stranger?
My heart thudded faster, my head reeling from the news. What did these men see in me?

He rose up from the chair sluggishly. His gaze averted from me as if he couldn’t afford to stare at me any longer. “While I was over there I kept thinking about you until I asked about you and Liam told me not to bother. What he said wasn’t clear at first, but when they sent me the video, I understood that it wasn’t worth it. The admittance made my heart melt and then I realised who my real enemies were.
Oh God, I cried.
How could I have slept with someone in my step–father’s house without remembering? How was that even possible!
My body couldn’t bear the weight of the information but I willed myself to be strong. “So I’ll ask you the same question I’ve always been asking Why did you go ahead and marry me, knowing how much of a shut I am!” It hurt to victimize myself but that was what he saw me as, and even though I tried to act nonchalant I was badly affected.
He strode towards me with an intimidating gaze that blazed with anger. “To take my revenge and protect you at the same time if it makes any
sense.
