Lena’s Point Of View“There are a lot of things that I don’t want you to understand but I wish for you to understand them.” We were still having dinner and discussing the press conference I’d have tomorrow.“Why are you speaking in riddles?” I asked and he took his eyes to meet me.“A lot of people do not like Gwen.” He said and I frowned.“What do you mean? I mean she’s famous and beautiful and she’s your wife, why wouldn’t they like her?”“Gwen was accused of having an affair with someone.” I was dumb Founded when I heard it.“Gwen was accused of having an affair? With who?”“David Zane.” As he said this I gasped, it couldn’t be who I was thinking about.“Serena’s boyfriend?” I asked and hopped that it was a different person.“Yes.” I was shocked, Serena is Adonis’s younger sister and she’s the same age as Gwen and I. “Is this true, I mean what do you know about it?”“I don’t believe what Serena said, my wife said she didn’t do it and I trust and believe my wife.” Dante had a straig
Lena’s Point Of ViewAs I walked from the backstage, I walked to the podium with different reporters taking pictures, clapping and welcoming me.I gracefully walked to the podium and waited for a few seconds, letting the camera’s do its job.Clicking and flashes of white light filled the room, a few reporters with cameras were standing so they could take clearer pictures while the rest sat in the big conference room.I looked forward and my eyes met with Dante, he’d left the back stage and was now seated in the front roll where I’m very sure was reserved for reporters.“Good day everybody.” I had wanted to use Italian but Dante had advised me not to.“As many of you know, I am Gwendolyn Roma, the head of the council, the council members are the biggest decision making board of King Empire and I represent King Empire today. Your questions can come in.” I smiled, inside of me was trying so hard to be calm, now I understand why Dante was seated in front of me. I watched him nod his head
I and Dante got to the mansion and the first thing he did was get my wound treated, the wound was on my lips but my entire face stung so much.Irene arrived with the first aid box and Dante furiously took the box From her and took out what he needed to get my wounds treated.My lips were stinging so bad and it was bleeding he took the antiseptic and applied it on my lips with the cotton wool.“It’s all my fault, I should have canceled the press conference since I knew it was sabotaged, I never expected this much violence.” As he cleaned the wood on my lips he explained. He was angry but not at me but at himself.I could see veins pop on his forehead because of how hurt he felt.“I should never have let you go on that stage.” I think I’d seen Dante in a lot of his moods but this one I rarely got to see. He was mad, frustrated and angry at himself.“I am fine Dante.”I tried to convince him.“You are not fine. You are hurt Lena and it’s all my fault.” He banged his hand on my side table.
Lena’s Point Of ViewThe incident that had happened today had made me see Dante in a different way, this is not the man that I had gotten married to, Dante was always so commanding and agitating, he never cared about me, if I’d die he’d never care. I remember when he starved me for a whole day, he was always so mean to me but these days he wasn't. He made sure I was taken good care of and my opinion suddenly seemed to matter to him a lot, my safety was now his priority. Even though most of the time he was rude to me he still acted nice, he even changed the contract to allow me contact my parents and to allow physical touch.I was happy about this and I prayed too hard for it to last.We sat opposite each other as we ate in the garden; I barely had an appetite and the wound on my lips kept stinging as I ate.“I’m sorry for whatever happened to you today, I should have been more careful.”“I am okay Dante.”“I hope you are.” He stretched his hand and took my hand in his as we ate.“The
Lena’s Point Of ViewWhat was I thinking kissing Dante, I had gone far and I had broken a rule.He pulled me furiously, cupping my cheeks, he crushed our lips together, his hand slowly left my cheeks, running through my body, his hand grabbed my ass as he slowly pulled me to one of the glass walls in the garden.He takes both of my hands not pulling away from the kiss, he lifts my hand up and presses them to the wall.He kissed my lower lips slowly, his pace increasing slowly, he slid his tongue in mine, his tongue tangled with mine and I felt my entire system melt, my legs were growing very weak and I felt my clit get wet. I moaned when I felt him give me a bit on my lips and his other hand crawl inside my tank top.Dante slowly slid his tongue in mine making me breathless, his lips were soft on mine just like I always imagined.“No, Lena.”“ You don’t want this game Lena.” He slowly pulled away from me just when it was getting hot and intense.“Dante, It was a mistake, I shouldn’t
I felt it was somehow related to me, Dante who had a blank look on his face was now fuming with anger.“Are you fine? Who was that?” We were in the elevator and I held to his arm softly. He turned to me, his eyes filled with furry, it was like he could kill and when he said do not go easy on him. He meant it. Was he going to hurt someone?“I found who threw the mic at you, he’ll never go home the same way.” He gritted his teeth and balled his fist very tight, veins popping on his fist.“No Dante, you don’t have to hurt him. I am okay, aren’t I?” I still found it a bit weird speaking with him after what had occurred yesterday.“You shouldn’t interfere in matters like this, I will deal with him the way I please. I’ll kill him and dump this body if that’s needed.” I took my hand away from him when he said that. He was going to kill him,“You're joking right?” I asked and he turned to me and gave a smirk.“I am not, no one touches you and goes scot free, I’ll make sure next time he’ll neve
The make up artist would be here tomorrow, to get you ready. The party is scheduled for late in the evening but I’ll take over as the president in morning.“Oh.” I mouthed, it was like it was the only word I knew how to say at the moment.“I want you to be early tomorrow.” He informed and I nodded.“Sure.” I nodded, my head hung up as I stared at him, he was so tall and as I sat and he stood, it wasn’t easy.“After this, your schedule is free for the week. You’ll have all the time to rest.” I gave a very little smile and in seconds it was gone.He paused and stared at me for a while, I could tell that he had noticed that someone was wrong because he had expected me to say more than five words today but I’d barely said anything to him. “Can I leave now?” I asked taking a stand and making a move to leave his presence.“Do we have a problem, Lena?” I nodded my head negatively and I walked out of the discussion room.Dante was home today and it was probably because of the swearing in, I h
Lena’s Point Of ViewI didn’t wait for Irene to wake me up today, before her normal waking up knock came, I was already awake and I had taken my bath before Irene knocked on my door.“Come in.” I rolled out and she pushed the door open.I sat in front of my mirror fully dressed. I was waiting for the makeup artist now because I had helped myself in my clothes and was now waiting for her.“Good morning Mrs Roma?” I saw her glance at my bed then at me and I gave a smile.“You are awake already?”“Yes.” I chuckled.“And you’ve had your bath?” Her eyes trailed down my body.“Yes Irene.”“Why?” Her voice was very low, I turned to her and stopped using the reflection of my dressing mirror to stare at her .“I figured it would be nice to get myself ready without your help, you deserve some rest.” A little smile appeared on my face.“You no longer need me? I like to get you ready, it is not a problem. I love to get you ready, it reminds me of the old days when I used to get my daughter ready
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
LENA’S POVDinner was a success.It has not been long since I found out everything about my life and all, but I felt this surging, out-of-the-world love for Gwen. I would do everything for her without a second thought. Blood is indeed thicker than water.They left a few hours after dinner, not because they wanted to but because it was getting late and Gwen needed to rest for tomorrow. The duo are really in love with each other. It was really beautiful watching them bicker and giggle while they made their way to their car.Seeing her happy stirs this overwhelming feeling of happiness within me and it’s all strange cause this was not something I was used to feeling. Having a sibling is a beautiful feeling and I would love to feel it over and over again.After they left, all we did was clear out the table and set the dishes in the dishwasher before heading straight to bed. We too, will need to rest as tomorrow is sure as heck going to come with a lot of energy-draining moments, and just
GWEN’S POVThe universe can be cruel sometimes, sometimes a bit unfair and sometimes offering you what you fully deserve. I personally think the most important factor here is time. I am the kind of person who loves to organize every single moment of her life and then follow that plan right till the very end. I hate being taken by surprise. I want to be in perfect control of the path my life goes at all time.But I guess I learnt the hard way that life is unpredictable. One moment you are having a smooth ride, living the perfect life there is, and then the next, life send you down a path you have no idea how to walk on. With that a few twists and turns in your life, Viola! You have moved from the list of people who have their life figured out to someone helpless.What mattered the most at the end is how you react to that change. Some people will just give in and accept their fate and maybe pickup from scratch again but I sure as heck wasn’t some people or any other person at that. I a
Lena’s POV“Gwen is this really you?” Dante’s voice was really low and I knew that it was because of the way he felt about losing her. Everyday seeing my face was a constant reminder that he had caused her death but now she stands in front of him alive and well.Dante turned around, he had tears in his eyes, as much as he was a strong guy, I could see the tears in his eyes.He tried to hide it, so no one could see the tears. He was very emotional after a long while he was seeing his best friend. He’d only felt like he had cause majorly all the pain in her life.“Come here.” She pulled him into a hug and Dante wrapped his hand around her. “I’m sorry Gwen, I so sorry. I was a bad friend, I didn’t treat you the way you expected.” Dante tried to explain himself but Gwen wanted no explanation.“It’s okay Dante, let by gone be by gone, you should have a very happy life, I’ll do same. Your happy with her and I’m happy with him.” She narrated.It was all full of hug and kisses from each membe
Lena’s POVThe moment the other men tried to shoot, Zane stormed in with heavy fires inside the house and shut them it was now the entire family and Adonis.Dad was so disappointed, but first he was sad. I saw the look on his face, his only daughter was dead and he was about to hand his properties to some imposter.I watched Adonis struggle to get up and the moment Dante saw this, he took his gun and shot him on his other leg and immediately he fell to the ground.Dante rushed him and began to throw punches at his face, you dare touch my wife. How dare you.He kept punching until Adonis was cover in blood it was a terrifying sight to behold and it the moment he was satisfied he turned to me and pulled me into a hug.I was so scared, my legs were shaking of fear and I wanted to be out of here immediately. I wanted to be away from all this mess. I was still holding Dante in a hug when I felt someone pull me, the moment I turned to the person who pulled me, a slap raised at my face.“Ca
Lena’s POVI was scared to death, Dante had made me hide under the table, it seemed like I didn’t know this man in front of me, my husband had a gun in his hand and he was shooting like he was some kind of boss. at the man who had invaded Dad’s house, they were all in a mask and had proven to be stubborn but Dante was not going to let them get away. He was shooting at them, dodging bullets like he was in some kind of blockbuster.Maybe my husband was a mafia boss because thinking of it, how the hell did he have so much contact and influence.I was suddenly pulled from my hiding spot, the hand pulling me was very strong and the scent of the person was very familiar.“Drop all weapons or i blow her up.” I tried to turn to see the person but I felt a sharp pain on my head, the person had hit me on my head.“Let her go.” Dad yelled from behind me and I tried to make him let me go but he tightened his grip on my neck and I gasped for air. “Dante.” I called as tears filled my eyes, I felt t
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
Lena's POVAfter the little conversational section with Zane and Dante the questions in my heart...the unanswered questions finally had their answers.The questions throbbing in my head,the questions I wasn't sure I was going to be able to bring myself to ask him was finally answered indirectly even if the two men who answered it didn't even know of the questions.I'm just glad I finally understand things properly and I have no one to blame.I was no longer troubled or filled with deep pain considering the hurt that Dante must have gone through all the while he tried to hide it. I'm just glad that finally I know what he has been hiding all this while. what has made him put on a strong facade even when he was vulnerable inside.No one knew about it.And literally no one caredMaybe that's why he wanted me to act like his ex-wife because maybe she was only one who showed him love because she was his best friend.People try to act all strong and fierce but forget that sometimes you need
