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
Dante’s Point Of View“Mr. Roma! Mr. Roma!” I heard Irene’s voice as I was about to take a sip of my coffee. I quickly dropped the coffee as she continued shouting my name. It was like she had seen a ghost or something. “Mr. Roma!” I followed the sound of her voice as I met myself in Lena’s room. I noticed that her bathroom door was left opened as I went over to see what was going on. Her room seemed messy when I walked in. I wondered what had gone wrong. “Sir! She’s not waking up.” Irene said to me as she was beginning to cry. “What?” I said in confusion before I noticed Lena in the bathtub with her eyes closed. I felt a sense of terror overcome me as I walked closer to her. She was unconscious and it seemed like she had drowned in the water. She didn’t move as I shook her aggresively. “Gwen! Gwen Gwen! wake up!” I shouted on panick. I noticed that she was still breathing which made me a little bit calmer but I was still scared. I wondered what had happened. I wondered if she tried
