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.
Lena’s Point Of View“You have to know what she’s like, know how she’s been with Gwen, know things that have happened between them. Mother and daughter stuff Lena, you’ll have to know all of them.”“Dante..” He was rushing his words and it felt as though he was scared of what would happen. He held my hand tight and was explaining what I’d have to do.“Dante, Dante!” I called out to him and he stared at me. His eyes full of worry, was not a pleasant thing to see.“Everything will be fine, all will be alright.” I cupped his face, it was the first time I was seeing him freak out and it somehow looked cute and it also looked scary.“You’re freaking out Dante, it’s not going to be so hard. I have done it several times, I have been with a lot of people I don’t know, I have been Mrs Roma to them, I can be Gwen to Mrs Verona.” I calmed him down.“You’re still willing to help me even with everything I have done? Even with how things are?” He asked and I nodded slightly. I would do it and I didn
Lena’s Point Of ViewDante’s hand wrapped my waist and his lips kissing me, from my forehead down to my neck, I stirred in my sleep as I felt his warmth, tossing and turning, I smiled “Good morning Lena.” He kissed me on my forehead and I felt him leave the bed. My eyes opened to see him as he walked out. My nostril filled with his scents, he smelt like cedar wood.My eyes gazed at him, as frown came on my lips he was getting ready for work.I watched him wear his suit, standing in front of the mirror, he arranged his tie.“Your going out again? When did you return?” I asked. He left the mirror to come stand in front of me.“ I returned a few hours ago.” He muttered.“And your leaving now? Let me guess you won’t have breakfast?” He nodded.“I have so much work to do Lena, you also have a lot to do.” As we spoke, he walked to his vanity table and picked a file which was laid on the table.“You have to work on this Lena, I want you reading, cramming, understanding and flowing with every
Dante’s Point Of ViewI know that Lena has so much to say, so many questions to ask me about my wife but I am ignoring them. It is a way of not letting my past out but my past is gradually affecting my present.“Mr Roma. These are the amounts of goods we’d lost to the fire.” My secretary handed me a file, I opened the first page and glanced through it. It was a lot, we’ve made a big loss.“What’s the insurance company saying?I asked.“They are still looking at it Mr Roma.” She explained and I banged the table hard.“For how long ? We are making losses as the day goes by.”“We had lost a lot of things in the fire, machines . The entire factory was burnt down Mr Roma, they are still looking into it.” I calmed down a bit. There was no need for me to yell and raise my voice like a mad person.“What about the police? Do they have any lead on it, the detectors? I need to know how the fire started.”“They are trying their best.” She replied her voice shaking.“Well their best is not enough.”
Lena’s Point ViewHe was back home early today. The minute he walked into the dinning room with a very gloomy and tired look, he saw me and in a blink of an eye it disappeared into thin air and he was grinning from ear to ear.I was happy to see that he was happy because he looked and felt like a mess.I got startled, my heart gave a thud. He was asking for permission to kiss me.His lips clasped mine immediately he said that and I let go of the fork in my hand, Dante pulled me close to him as we both tangled ourselves in a kiss. I could feel the heat emitting from his body and a light and soft moan escaped my lips.He pulled me even further, making me sit on his lap.Dante sucked on my lower lips, his tongue rolled in and out of my lips and I tasted every inch of his lips.I kissed back and he did the same so effortlessly. We stayed entwined in each other's arms, his hand traveling around my body. Slowly pulling away from each other, I gasped for air and watched him stare at my lips
Lena’s Point Of View I dashed out of the dinning leaving Dante speechless.First of all whatever he said did not make any sense. Why would she check if I was a virgin? Because Gwen isn’t? Fuck!! It was a good enough reason.Telling me he’d increase my income only made me feel like I was a slut.No! I am not about to lose my virginity.My door pushed open and he walked into my room, he didn’t give me the chance to let him in.“Lena, let’s talk about this.” He was walking towards the bed where I sat.“Don’t come close to me Dante, what do you take me for?” I was angry.“You have to do this for me Lena, you had promised you’d help me. You promise you’d help me out of this situation.” His voice was calm.“I never had the intention of doing this but it is important Lena and we cannot avoid it.” “No.” I hated to see him in a state where he’d have to ask for something, I hated that it had gotten to this extent. Fuck Lena! What’s in the name of God is wrong with you?I muttered another word.
Lena’s Point Of View(Seduction; what tastes like heaven )It was the next morning and would I say I dreaded breakfast time? Yes.Dante had told me we would sign the new change of contract during breakfast. I was hungry, rather famished but I didn’t want to go down stairs for breakfast because I wasn’t ready to face Dante nor was I ready to sign the godforsaken contract with him.I would never do it. I hated how he made me feel like trash or some kind of thing that he was using, I hated how he treated my feelings like it was nothing.Having sex? I never imagined it, even if countless times I had wondered what it would feel like to have him in me. It was weird but it was the truth. I know I had wanted him a few times. I was willing to willingly give myself to him because I know so much that I have feelings for him and even if he wasn’t the one. It was worth the try but I had to restrict myself because I knew he had a wife who was missing. Finding out Gwen was dead; a few times the tho
Lena’s Point Of ViewDante passed me a file and I hesitated to take it in my hands when I finally took the files in my hand. I dreaded opening it, I placed it on my lap and I ate from my food.“Open the file and read through it.” His tone was back to its commanding tone.“I’ll do it when I’m done eating.” I said and watched him smirk.“Open it now.” I didn’t let him finish his statement.“If you want me to do this for you then you should let me eat. Don’t ruin breakfast for me.” I spat out angrily and watched him crack.“Have your way Lena.” If only I could have my way in everything right now, if only I could control my own life at this time.I made sure to eat slowly, maybe it was because I didn’t want this and I was trying to take so much time and have things done in my way.We were finally done with breakfast and Dante called for the maids to come clear the dinning because apparently this was his new work place and he wanted us to discuss it here. So pathetic.The table was cleared
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
