Dante’s Point Of View

Manuel 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

    Lena’s Point Of ViewI felt someone's hand going around my waist. Although I was still feeling sleepy, I managed to open my eyes. Suddenly, the familiar cologne of Dante whiffed past my nostrils and I sighed. Dawn was finally here again. After my night's rest, I felt a bit refreshed and rejuvenated for the day, but now I was feeling a bit angry.I moved my waist a bit hoping his hands would slip off it, but that didn't happen instead, he held it more firmly.He only released the pressure when I relaxed in his arms.For more than five minutes, I remained in my lying position as I visualized what I would be doing if I had gotten out of bed. Tired of staying in that position, I tried to climb out of bed, but he tightened his hand around my waist again, thereby preventing me from doing so. “Please, let go of me” I said with a slightly irritated voice. “Come on, that's not an appropriate way to greet. Good morning” he mused before planting a quick kiss on my neck.“Good morning. Are

    Dante's point of viewStopping to stare at Lena who was laughing wholeheartedly my heart felt warm, I don't remember when she had ever been this happy before or when I ever laughed this hard. The past few days had been tough and rough on us both and if a soothsayer had told me some hours ago that we'd be this happy I'd laugh and scoff at such, she looks more beautiful when she's laughing and I couldn't help but stare at such beauty.I was glad that we were fine. We were okay."Why are you staring at me like that?" She asked jokingly."Like what?" I shrugged."Like I'm some piece of treasure." She said."Oh really?" I asked and she nodded her head."And how did you arrive at that conclusion?""Because there's longing in your eyes.""So you're an eye specialist now? Or is that only you catch my eye-tention."I winked at her and she couldn't help but blush and giggle."Look, a spider!" She yelled.I looked back in horror and was frightened when I heard her laugh even louder, I frowned my

    Lena’s Point Of ViewI paced the living room, waiting for Dante to come back, he’d left abruptly without so much as a word. He’d been gone for over four hours now and in that time frame I’d done nothing but worry myself to death and back. I had even tried to use the home phone to call him twice but I had been sent to his voice mail several times. I had left a few messages for him to call me back and for him to let me know he was safe but that was three hours ago and until now there was still no reply from him.I had tried to distract myself by watching a show or something but there was a voice in the back of my head telling me something was wrong. I dialed his number one more time but just like the other times, I was directed to his voicemail instead.I let out a frustrated sigh before marching into the kitchen to get myself a bottle of water. I had only sat down on the sofa for ten minutes when Dante appeared in the door way.I jumped quickly when I noticed him and rushed to him.

    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

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.

    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
