Lena’s Point Of View

(Mr. and Mrs. Roma)

My eyes fluttered and the ray of sun perched on my face and I sighed. I heard the curtain open and I grunted. What was happening? I was too tired to open my eyes, I was used to it, it was mom trying to wake me up for a new day of work.

"Good Morning Gwen!" I suddenly heard and was so shocked

I was forced to open my eyes when I heard a very unfamiliar voice.

There were a few women in my room, some of them cleaned the room while a few of them stood by my bedside.

"Good Morning Ma'am." They all beamed with smiles.

"Mr. Roma has asked you to join him in his private dining for breakfast."The woman who seemed to be the oldest and the head of all the maids in the room said…

I dazed out for a while thinking back, what the hell happened?

"Mrs. Roma?"Another maid tapped me softly.

What the hell! Gwen, Mr. Roma, Mrs. Roma, crazy beautiful room, Italian accent, private dining?

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"I screamed my lungs out.

It was all a joke until this morning, I woke up and found myself in a different world.

"Are you okay Ma'am, Mrs Roma?"I kept screaming and shaking on the bed until the white door in the room was pushed open and he came walking in.

I shut my mouth immediately, he walked in, I did not just see him walk in, I felt him walk in, the atmosphere became very calm and I couldn't even find the voice to scream again.

"Everyone leave." He said and instantly they all rushed out of the room without making any noise, they all bowed before leaving.

Who the fuck is this man?

I sat on the bed and the door closed, leaving the both of us in this large room.

He said nothing while I batted my lashes like a fool. It was all a joke until this morning.

"Do you know the consequences of this little stunt?

"He took a step towards the bed. It was a million bass in one man's voice, it was so thick and it sent shivers down my spine.

Dante donned a white shirt and black pants and he looked like he was about to head to work or something, he looked too hot and abnormally huge. Damn! Such a hot aggressive man.

"Why were you screaming Gwen?"He asked and I frowned, I am not Gwen.

"My name is Lena, not Gwen."I fired back. I heard him give a terrible sigh before he walked closer to me.

"Do I have to remind you that you can never go with that godforsaken name? "

"But it's my name."

"You signed a contract, Gwen and this would be the last time we would talk about the contract."

"Did you kidnap me, where am I? " He took deep breaths.

"I did not kidnap you, and you are in Italy. Now get this into your head. You have signed a contract with me and for this one full year, you have to be Gwen, you might as well kill Lena, I don't give a fuck. You are Gwen and you will have to be her. Fix your act together and be ready now."

"Huh. Why should I kill me, I am Lena."

"Your father, Helena Brooks, think about your father."As he said this my face crumbled. No!

"This will be the last time I would ever say that name." He took another step forward and was now standing right In front of me.

"Do you understand me?" I stayed quiet, I was thinking about my father, I did this for him.

"When I ask you a question you better reply. Do you understand me Gwen?"He threatened, calling me by a fake name.

"I understand." I batted my lashes.

"Good Mrs Roma. and I want you in my private dining room in the next 30 minutes." The moment he uttered these words, he turned around and began to walk out of the room.

"Irene." He called the moment he got to the door. He walked out and immediately the maid were back in

"Mrs Roma, it is time for your bath." I nodded, this was my new life now.

"Go ahead and run the bathtub, Sophia."She Instructed a maid.

I had my bath and my hair was washed thoroughly with some very good shampoo and it made my hair smell like strawberry. It was the nicest bath I had in my life and even if I didn't want this woman, she was there and helped me. I felt like a princess treatment or more because this was more than princess treatment, my hair smelt so good and the water and scrub was so good.

I was done having my bath and my hair was wrapped in a towel. I noticed that the bed was made and the room smelt so different, a dress was kept on the bed and my underwear too. I donned the clothes and two ladies went ahead to help me with my hair.

I sat in front of the mirror, unable to recognize myself. I had donned a white fitted dress and my hair was curled. The woman who I believe is Irene and is the head of them all, hung a very beautiful pendant on my neck.

I looked at myself and was unable to recognize myself. I looked more beautiful than I did on my wedding day and I only had light makeup on.

"We are done Mrs Roma."I looked at myself and I smiled, I didn't look like myself or smell like coffee or sweat. I smelt like a princess.

"Thank you."I smiled at them, I had a not so high heel on and it matched the outfit so well.

"Mr. Roma awaits you. You shouldn't keep him waiting." I nodded and walked out, Irene followed me and I guess she was taking me to meet him.

I said nothing to her as we walked to Mr Roma's private dining.

She showed me a large door, did I forget to say that this house or mansion is so big and all the doors looked alike.

"I'll stop here."She pointed at the door and I nodded.

My heart gave a thud, I swallowed hard and got ready to see his face. Pushing the door open I met him seated on a sofa at the side and he was on his iPad and the dining table in the middle of the room was filled with food, was he having a feast.

I shut the door softly, he didn't look in my direction but he spoke.

"You are late Gwen."The name disgusted me. I hated every ounce of it. He stood from the sofa, dropped his iPad and walked slowly towards me.

"You are five minutes late and Gwen is not a tardy person." I stood straight and when he came to me, I averted my eyes from his.

"I.. I am sorry, Dante."

"It's Mr. Roma."He corrected and I nodded repeating after him

"I am sorry Mr Roma."

"Good girl."He had a sly smirk on his face. As I shaked in fear.

"Now let's have breakfast." He took my hand softly and walked me towards the table filled with food.

Mr Roma pulled the chair open for me and I sat down.

"Lesson number one. How to act during breakfast."This was it. My life had changed.
