Dante’s Point Of View My phone had been ringing for the fifth time now but I decided to ignore whosoever it was. Work was so hectic today like never before and the last thing I wanted was for someone to add to my already choked up day.I shoved aside a folder containing numerous files I had just finished working on and was about to pick another when the buzzing of my phone interrupted me yet again. It was really starting to become a distraction and I had figured out the person had no intention of leaving me alone so I picked.“What!” I yelled out frustratedly immediately after picking without even looking at the caller Id.“I deeply apologize for interrupting your work Mr Roma but I think I should inform you of this” the sound of Irene’s voice, blasted through the phone. An underlying voice of panic lacing in her words.“Whatever is it that you want to inform me?” I inquired with an arched brow.“Yes Mr Roma There is a man in the house who has come to see Mrs Roma. I am not sure who h
Dante’s Point Of ViewI was very much aware of her hand lingering on my back and her soft breath fanning my neck. Her eyes were closed but she was not sleeping, the tapping of her other hand on the bed confirmed that to me. She looked so calm and at peace. For the first time in a long run, I wished I could just stay in bed forever.I did not try to hide the fact that I was openly looking at her even when she cleared her throat and opened her eyes to stare at me. Her hand still clad on my back tighten around my shirt and likewise mine on her’s. We are currently cuddled around each other and the duvet, our feet tangled with each other’s.“Please don’t go back to work” she pleaded, giving me the best puppy eyes she could muster.I have a lot to cover and agreeing to stay in bed with her will probably put me behind schedule but there was no possible way I could say no to her. Not when she was looking at me like that. Like I was her whole world put together. “Okay then. Why don’t I teach y
Lena’s Point Of ViewI changed into a more suitable dress and I went into Dante’s room and picked the file he asked for.He had probably not expected the meeting to be today.Getting out of the house, the guards were outside standing in their positions like always.“Let’s go.” I played with a few hair strands falling by the side of my face as I said.The guard opened the door and I got into the car and he followed suit. I needed to be protec. I am Gwen. I mentally made a jokeDante sure had tightened the security in less than a few hours of Adonis coming uninvited to his house and in the car I felt like a celebrity, guided and protected; practically I was.We finally got to the company after a smooth drive and I alighted from the car after the guard had opened the door for me.Walking into the company, it was a bit empty because it was late and it was a Friday. The employees close early on Friday’s but I couldn’t help but wonder why he’ll have a meeting this late at night.I increased
Lena’s Point Of ViewWe got back home and with the help of the guards we were able to get Dante to his room.He was weak and drowsy and the moment he laid on the bed, he closed his eyes to sleep.He was dressed in his suit and still had his shoes on and it was left to me to take them off so he could be comfortable as he slept.If I didn’t insist to bring Dante the file, what would have happened?I went to his leg, took his feet up and pulled his shoe off his feet.Dante groaned and tossed, my eyes went to his face, Dante looked so peaceful as he slept, I pulled the shoe of his other leg then climbed on the bed and began to undo his shirt, I unbuckled his belt, my hand rubbed against his cock as I tried to unfasten his belt. “Lena..” he mumbled softly.His hand gripped my hair rough as I tried to pull his pants off.His grip on my hair was not so tight, I wanted to scream out but it came out as muffled moans.The hell was Dante doing to me?“Come here.” He muttered, his words we’re rea
Lena’s Point Of ViewIt was just two more days for my five day stay with Mrs Verona and I was getting really anxious. I was tired of reading the file, I was done with everything. I had read, understood and crammed everything in the file, it was not easy but I was able to have more understanding and I will be able to pull off in front of Mrs Verona and act like her daughter for a few days.I closed the book, climbed down my bed , fixed my legs into my flip flop, and walked out of my room.Dante hadn’t gone to work today, he was in his study for the whole day, working. He was quiet and during breakfast he barely said a word to me.I walked to his study. I had wanted to place a knock on the door but I thought it was weird and I pushed the door open. There he was seated in front of his desk, he had buried himself with work and didn’t know that it was time for dinner already.“Working late?” I asked the moment I was inside his study, he took his head up, his gaze meeting mine.The light in
LENA’S POVThe day I had been dreading for the longest of time was finally here and I would have to face reality soon no matter how much I desired not to. I have been trying so hard to not let my thought wondered to the darkness of places, places where I was going to mess this up and blew Dante’s cover up.Even at that thought, I closed my eyes tightly and shook my head negatively, in an attempt to get rid of it. I have all the necessary information needed to deal with this and I am going to go ahead and waltz through this with every bit of confident I could muster. But that’s where the problem lies, I am not sure there is an ounce of confident left in me anymore.“Can you calm down Lena and stop with the overthinking? This is not going to be as bad as you are playing it in your head, I am sure” Dante exclaimed, his calculative gaze fixed on me. I guess he was trying to find out how much of me he needed to fix. “You look pale” he added with an arched brow.I had tried as much as I cou
LENA’S POVNot once in my entire living days have I ever thought I will be in such a situation. Heck I have never thought anyone would be involve in such a crazy scenario let alone myself. If anyone would have told me a few years back that I will be here today, acting into a character I have never met trying to convince her mother into trusting and believing that I am her daughter.Each time I felt like giving up, each time I feel my walls collapsing, each time the thought of how crazy I was start to get to me, I will remind myself of only one thing which was enough reason for me to keep going. I am doing this for my patents.This thought alone is enough to fuel me on and keep me going even when I felt like turning away from everything and running for my dear life.No matter how much I tried to suppress this fact down my heart, this whole situation is hard to deal with there is no denying to that.“Hey Gwen! Look what I made” the screeching voice of Mrs Verona forced me out of my tra
LENA’S POV“All I need you to do is stretch out your hand and relax. The process would be fast but only if you relax” the lab technician uttered, dropping all the needed equipment on the desk in front of me while standing beside me and waiting for me to place my hand on his outstretched ones.I was a nervous wreck but at the same time I am trying my hardest not to let Mrs Verona noticed my nervousness which was practically impossible as she was sitting right opposite of me.I was pathetic to have thought everything will be a smooth ride till the end. The beginning had gone really smoothly which has lead me to terminate any thought of something going wrong along the line.Now that shit is about to go down, I was really taken by an immerse amount of surprise coupled with the nervousness if I might add.Reluctantly and under Mrs Verona’s watchful gaze, I stretched out my hand toward the lab technician. This is the type of moment I could use some type of distraction. Someone to just waltz
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
