Lena’s Point Of ViewSince the party was thrown because of Dante, we had to stay until the party was almost over.The way he pulled me out of the roof top and into the elevator, I needed no soothsayer to tell me that he was mad at me, he had seen me speaking with Adonis and I am sure that he’s very mad at me.The party was finally over and our drive home was really silent, none of us was ready to speak to each other or try to start a conversation and keep it going . It's been like that since the last two days and I’m pretty sure it’s going to be the same way.I didn’t know why but I was hurting. My head was aching as much as my heart was. Even if I had told myself that the love phase was over it was still there. It was still hurting. I hated finding out that he was sleeping with other women even when he’s married to me.I know that I am not his wife Gwen and I am Lena, the wife he married under a contract. I shouldn’t get hurt, I shouldn’t feel bad but I was. I was hurting because
Dante’s Point Of View I had gone in search of Lena when I noticed she was nowhere to be found in the party, she had wasted too long in the restroom and I felt that something was wrong with her.I searched for her in the restroom and she wasn’t there. I was a bit worried because I knew that she barely knew her way around. I asked the security men by the elevator if they had seen her and they’d affirmed seeing her leave for the rooftop.I got in the elevator to go search for her, I was too mean to her, i shouldn’t have threatened her in that manner“I want to see more. What else do you know about Dante?”I reached the rooftop and I was surprised to see Lena with Adonis, she was listening to him, what was she doing here? And why was she with Adonis of all people.I stayed quiet for a while to listen to whatever lie he was telling Lena.“Now you're speaking, does this mean that we are now a team? We will work together. I’ll gather information about him and tell you. I will protect you m
Dante’s Point Of ViewThe Next Morning It was my first day in King Empire as the president and the new head, a new office, furnished to my taste, my desk and work area in front of the floor to ceiling window which gave a good view.I had a lot of work piled up for me, meetings with other head of departments.My new secretary matched into my office with a few files in her hand.“Mr Roma, these are files that need your signatures urgently.” She placed them on my table where the other files were kept.“What’s your name again?” I looked at her from head to toe, she had a royal blue shirt on and her buttons were barely complete, she had her cleavage showing.“Grace, sir.” I took the pen to my lips and gave a glance at her.She looked so indecent, did my office look like a club?“The next time you come to my office with your buttons half done with a spike of indecency, I’ll take it as you want to work as a stripper and I’ll be helpful to fire you.” The words rolled out of my mouth so sm
Dante’s Point Of ViewManuel was here to see Lena?I pushed her room door open and met Lena lying tiredly on the bed.I walked up to her and pulled the duvet off her body.“Lena, we have an unplanned visitor.” She sighed the moment the duvet left her body.There was not an excuse I would give to Manuel that would make him believe that Lena couldn’t see him.She yawned tired and we had no time for her yawning. I pulled her leg from the bed and made her stand on her feet.“I feel very dizzy.” Her eyes were barely open and her body was a bit hot, fuck! She was not in a good condition, what did I do to her? I have hurt her so much. I should have listened and brought her out of the room earlier.“I can’t stand Dante, I am dizzy.” She seemed very weak.I held her strongly and spoke to her.“After seeing him, we’ll head to dinner, he'll be here for a few minutes okay.” I explained to her.“Can I have dinner first?”“No Lena, you cannot keep him waiting. It will be for 10 minutes.” I urged her
Lena’s Point Of View“ I have told you before that Gwen is missing.” His voice was very low and he gave me a dirty glare.“How do I believe that your wife is missing, if you could know everything about me in just a few hours because of your connection, why then can you not find your wife. Can you tell me the full story, how she went missing.” I was trying to give him a reason why I was doubtful about his wife.“May I remind you that my wife is very rich and influential too, she’s hiding too well and she doesn’t want me to find her.” He licked his Lower lips after taking a sip from the wine.“Why would she run away? She was helping you get your Empire back, right? Why would she hide from you? Did she find out that you were using her?” I asked and I watched him give a very light smirk.“Oh Lena, you are so inquisitive and it is very cute to see you in this way but I have told you about my wife. She is missing.” He huffed at the bed and looked at me in the sly manner he always did.“What
Lena’s Point Of ViewAgain, would I say I was having fun? Definitely not, this was not fun and I was thinking instead of being focused on the movie I was seeing.Dante has my entire brain messed up! I am too gullible and credulous, I’d believe whatever lie he tells me. The movie was going on, although I was there, I was almost oblivious to what was going on in the movie.I dipped my hand in the bowl which was on my lap but it was empty. I sighed, deaf and tiredly, I’d have to go down to the kitchen to get popcorn.I walked out of the theater room, normally I’d take the elevator but I wanted to take the stairs. Maybe while walking on the stairs, I’ll get bored and want to watch a movie. As I walked down the hallway to the stairs side which seemed so new to me, it was like it was not part of my house because I barely used this area. I had seen Dante coming from one of the rooms by the left before and I wondered what he was doing. This was another wing of the mansion that I had barely
Lena’s Point Of View.I watched as his face fell. He took a step away from me and I did the same.“You found the room didn’t you?”My legs were growing weak and I was unable to stand.We both stayed silent for a while and I decided to speak up. “You’ve been making me be someone that I am not, someone that’s dead. Your wife is dead and you told me she’s missing. You could hide her death from the world but why me? Maybe I should have known my stand. Maybe if you had told me the entire truth I would have fought for you even harder to help you and not build up crazy stories in my head.”“Stories like what? That I killed her?”“You don’t think I killed my own wife do you?” He folded his hand on his chest, he was on a white shirt and the navy blue jacket he’d worn to the office today. The sleeves of his shirt were folded to his elbow.He cracked. “Tell me you're joking, Lena?” I took another step away from him.“Tell me you do not think that I would kill my own wife.”“Did you ever love h
Lena’s Point Of ViewI couldn’t move. The only thing I could do as I sat on the toilet was to stare at the marbled floor. I looked calm but my mind was everywhere, thinking about what has been happening these past few days. I wanted to scream out and cry in frustration, but I just had no strength to do that. It was like there were no tears left in my body. I cleaned up myself after I was done using the toilet and washed my hands. Before I left, I sighted the bathtub at the other side of the room. I began to think of doing the craziest thing ever as I left the door ajar. Maybe if I do this, I’ll not feel the pain anymore, I’ll no longer have to bare everything.“Maybe in the after life, I will be happy.”I thought to myself as I took a few steps closer to the bathtub. My body began to shiver in fear as I entered the tub, turning the faucet on. The water was cold which was perfect for this sunny day. I watched as the water began to soak my dress. As the bathtub was being filled with the
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
