Lena's Point Of View

(From Lena to Gwendolyn Roma)

"Can you please let me eat peacefully? It is hard to eat when you always look at me like I am a criminal, I want you to call me Lena when it is just us, I like my name and it gives me strength to keep fighting."I explained to him hoping that he would understand.

"Calling you your name would be bridging the contract, but to satisfy you I would call you Mrs Roma when we are alone, after all you are Mrs Roma as we are married. Isn't it?" He asked and I nodded.

What a way to turn the tables and still do what you want to do Mr Roma.

"Now that this is done, I will wait for you in my private dinning area."As he said this I nodded and watched him walk out.

I didn't need Irene's help to pick out what to where, I picked a simple dress.

I got clad in the new my clothes then made my way to he dinning area.

Mr Roma was already seated but he wasn't eating. I joined him. I didn't need him to tell me that I was going to serve the food, I served him

    Dante's Point Of View(The counsel.)I do not know how to say it but meeting Lena has changed a lot for me. I have hope of getting what belongs to me back.She isn't anything like Gwen, she just happened to have the face of my wife, there are lots of differences but she still has the face of my wife. Even with that Lena is nothing like my wife, Gwen, she is weak, she doesn't have etiquettes and I know that it's because she didn't grow up in the same environment as Gwen, she is so different from Gwen.I hate the fact that she looks like my wife. The first time I saw her, I thought that I was dreaming but when she told me that her name was Lena, even her accent showed off that she wasn't my wife.I saw her that day in the cafe and I knew it was a chance, a second chance to get all that I was losing, I needed her face if I ever wanted to pull this through.That day, I had carried out an investigation about her. I found out about her sick father and mother, the loan they owed the bank, I

    Lena's Point Of View.(Never cuss!)"Good morning Mrs Roma. Mr Roma has asked me to get you ready in 30 minutes because you have a guest waiting for you." I was barely awake from my slumber and it had already been ruined.I said nothing, I didn't want to say anything that would make Irene suspect that I wasn't the real Mrs Roma else my father would not get the treatment he deserved.After a while of silence, Irene spoke, "Should I get your outfit for the day ready?"I nodded and groaned."Sophia."The moment I nodded, she called out to the other maid and the door was pushed open instantly."Miss Irene, you called me?"She asked."Yes, prepare the bathtub for Mrs Roma." I said nothing.After reading a few things about the Roma family, I realized why I was getting special treatment, not me but Gwen.The bath was soon ready and the maid Sophia was about to help me get off my night robe but I remember what Mr Roma had told me, I shouldn't let them see my naked state."I got this Sophia, than

The moment the man saw us walk in, he stood up and I Mr Roma walked to where he was."Good morning Mr Roma."He greeted and Mr Roma only nodded to his greeting."She's going to be your student and you'll tutor her on Latin and Italian."As Mr Roma said this and the man nodded."Yes sir, I was informed.""Good. Then I will leave you two." I looked at Mr Roma as he spoke to the man who looked a bit older than him.He turned to me and stared at me in the eyes, I felt hate. I saw it in his eyes, I didn't need a seer or a fortune teller to tell me that he hated it."Be good."As he said this I nodded. I didn't want him to get angry.As Mr Roma left, my class with the tutor started and I felt damn hungry, there were a lot of words that I had never heard in my life, I couldn't understand them."Are you getting me Mrs Roma?"I no

I stayed there crying and reading through the notes on what I had learned, I want things to be easy for me. I am trying to do what he has asked me to do. I am trying so hard to leave my old life aside to become this woman that he wants me to be all because of my father but he makes things so hard for me.I was doing this for my father and I should be strong and be ready for whatever he had to do. I was happy that we had the no intimate rule, I don’t know how life would have been if we didn’t.I didn't know what time it was but I knew that I was super hungry.I lay on the chair and curled myself to sleep again for the second time. I didn't know how time went by but I know that I was woken by a stern voice calling out to me.I raised my head up and looked at him, my hair was probably ruffled and I looked a mess. It was Mr. Roma."Mr Roma."I stood to my feet but felt a wave of

He ordered, why wasn't he telling me what I needed to hear."Can you tell me what's wrong with my father?"I asked feigning to be okay."Take a deep breath Lena."I did as he said then looked at him."Is my dad okay?"This time around my voice was low and I wasn't fidgeting like I was before."Take a seat."I did as he said just so I could hear what he said. I was calm and I didn't know how, was it because of his commanding tone."You have the upper hand with whatever and however you feel, do you understand me?"I nodded. I just wanted this man to speak."Your father is okay and as a matter of fact the first surgery was carried out and he is okay. "The moment he said this I heaved a sigh. I was relieved and was super happy that my dad was okay.

After the italian class, I went back to my room but I still had a few more things to do because I was called by Mr Roma.I met Mr Roma in the garden, he was on a call as I walked in and there were a few heels which were lined up as I walked in.What did he want to do with these heels?"Good you are here, take off your shoe and out the pink shoe on."He said."Why do you want me to wear that? I am already wearing a shoe, this suits well." "How many times have I told you not to question me?"He dropped his phone on the side table and gave me a very hard glare, I gulped hard."Why? The heel is too high and I am going to fall." I argued even if I knew that he hated when I argued or questioned him. "Take the shoes and put them on!"He didn't have to tell me for me to know that he was angry. His voice hitched and carried a lot of anger.I nodded and sat on the chair which was right next to him then pic

    Lena’s Point Of View(Bipolar??)“You know, my Gwen used to love being in the garden, she loved to take care of the plants, she loved to water them and I watched her do it all the time. Would I say it was one thing that always made me happy because I was happy to see my Gwen happy.” I could hear the emptiness in his voice. He touched the plant and kept walking further into the garden.“Was she kidnapped? Or did she leave?” I asked “I am still looking for my wife, she went missing, when we were on a vacation and I couldn’t find her one day.” I was surprised that he was explaining further, he was actually talking to me about his wife. He had told me not to bother him or talk to him about private matters.“I am about to lose everything that my father had worked over the years for. I will lose my father’s wealth and all that my wife had worked for before getting married to me and even if I could not find my wife, I cannot allow myself to lose any of that.” “My wife was disowned by her

    EpilogueIt's been five years since I had gotten my life entangled with that of Dante, and now I am his wife and the mother of his children. The lady that had spilled coffee on him is the lady he is married to and is the lady that is his world, the mother of his children and his happy pills.I am happy to have found a man like him, because I know that even in the roughest times I would have someone that has my back.“Earth to Lena.” Gwen snapped me out of the thoughts and I looked at her a bit confused and embarrassed.“What are you thinking of again, Lena?” she asked me and I smiled. I wasn't thinking of anything that would make me anxious or cry, I was thinking about how good things have been, I was thinking of my family and I was happy.“Nothing Gwen, I just remember old times. I remember when I just had Lilly and look at my baby now, she is 3." As I said this, Lilly giggled and she lifted her hands up signaling that she wanted me to her up.I picked her up and hugged her so t

    LENA’S POV“I have told you for the umpteenth time to stop moving around, you are going to spill your head all over the place and take my work back. We wouldn’t want that now, would we?” Gwen rambled while moving around the room, sliding between tables and chairs to get to whatever it was she was meaning to pick.“Sorry,” I mumbled, trying hard not to giggle at her frustration. I find it amusing, to say the least.“Yeah right” She rolled her eyes, finally returning to where she stood at my back. “As if that is going to fix the hair” She brushed back the string of hair that fell out of place and tucked it back to where it belonged before toasting and then combing aside.She went back to her previous task of trying to get my zipper up and getting me all set in the white, floor-sweeping gown she urged me to pick. She was putting in her all to make sure I looked perfect from every angle even going as far as wiping a bit of sweat resting on my forehead. “Okay, okay now take a few steps let

    Dante’s POVI was meant to focus on the work I had to finish that morning but there’s always something about Lena that distracts me. I watched her carefully as she wore her earrings, then her necklace. She was in a smart jumpsuit that highlighted her figure. The warm nude suit made her skin color shine as bright as the sun. It seemed that all the stress we’ve been going s to through has already been wearing off her. She seemed to be in a good mood that morning, as she was humming to a particular song as she got ready. It felt like it would be a good day, I felt quite the opposite way. It seemed like something bad was going to happen, and no, it wasn’t the weather. The sky was bright and the sun smiled gently as well. I don’t know if it’s because I always know how it ends. I would always feel happy and accomplished, but then something would happen and ruin it all. I was used to it. All of a sudden, Lena gave me a cold glare. “Do you want us to be late, Dante?” “I-“ “I don’t want to
