Dominik POV
Sighing, I close my eyes with some exhaustion, leaning back against the back of the seat of my desk chair with some force. The day was very quiet, and amidst the silence of my office, I can hear how through the window behind me, the soothing sound of the street reaches my ears, relaxing me that much more and getting me on the verge of falling asleep.
Amid that silence and peace, I am surprised when I hear the sound of my desk phone ringing. So coming out of my relaxed and dreamy state, I reach out one of my hands across the surface of the desk to pick up the phone, which I answer with a serious tone.
"What's wrong?" I ask my receptionist, who is the only one who can call me on that phone line.
"Mr. Meyer, the front desk informs me that your wife has come to see you," Lisa answers.
Victoria? What the hell is she doing here? After listening to what Lisa tells me, knowing that Victoria is in the building, I remember what the maids who atte
Dominik POVHow could I define my childhood? I think it's a complicated question, something I don't like to talk about too much since I consider it a somewhat obscure time. It should be clarified that there was never a good relationship with my parents at home since my father was a too careless man who gave him all the likes my mother wanted, and my mother... She was always an extremely cold person with everyone, even with her own children.In my childhood I remember all the problems at home, my mother always fighting and obsessed with money, my father always avoiding problems and not wanting to solve anything to do with me or my sister, and my grandfather silently watching everything from a distance. From a young age, I could only rely on my older sister, who played more of a mother role than my own mother.And yet, knowing that my mother was a woman absent from her family who only cared about the company, trying to make us richer than we already were, somethin
Victoria POVCrossing my arms, I look ahead impatiently, as I notice through the windows behind Dominik, the sky darkening and it's already night. How much longer are we going to be here? I have no idea of the answer to that question, but I fear it will be much longer than I expect, and that perhaps Dominik is here just wasting time.Despite several times Dominik asked me to leave, I remained firm, and walking to one of the armchairs in his office, I sat there leaving my backpack next to me and deciding to wait. I wasn't going to give in so easily, it was obvious that I wasn't, I have finally realized that for some reason Dominik is avoiding me, so I have no choice but to force him to agree to give me half of the company, to keep his promise to give me back what is mine and my family.So forcing myself to be patient, I have to put up with staying here, despite how boring it is and the time I am wasting, I must stay in the office until I force Dominik to give me
Victoria POVYawning, I walk out of the classroom next to Jenny to Roy, feeling the stress leave my body after coming off a really difficult exam, which I had studied hard for the night before after returning from Dominik's office.Looking at me yawning, Jenny says, "Are you okay? You've been yawning a lot, didn't you sleep well yesterday?"Jenny was my best friend, and I really would give the whole world to talk to her and tell her the truth of what is going on, wanting to tell her all my sorrows and vent with her about all the things I am going through with Dominik. But I know that neither she nor Roy can know anything, so I have no choice but to lie about what is really going on with me."It's because of the math test today, I stayed up late studying" I lie to Jenny.Sympathetically, she replies, "I understand, I stayed up until three in the morning yesterday memorizing all the formulas, it was horrible. I regret not studying on vacation like Ro
Dominik POVIs she ever going to get tired? Those are the questions that are haunting my head lately, as I see Victoria sitting next to me at my desk, reading one of her school books, looking quite distracted.It's been a week since Victoria started this hellish routine, coming to my office without any invitation, and staying here to bother me, asking me every chance she gets about the issue I least want to talk about: the division of assets. Because of this, I don't know anymore if Victoria is too dumb to understand that I definitely don't want to talk to her about that matter, or if on the contrary, she is a very intelligent and persistent person.Although I would deviate from the second option.Since no matter what I do, how much I try to get her to not come to my office and stay quietly at school, not coming to bother me, she manages to get here. We have gone to the point where I have to hire several cars to drop her off at all the exits of her school
Victoria POVFrowning, I shuffle my feet to Dominik's office, which is now empty, something that makes it look a bit scary, as Dominik's style of furniture and room decor is usually very dark, so his office looks very... Sad and ugly."Would you like me to get you something to drink or eat, Miss Miller?" Dominik's secretary, who is walking behind me, asks me.Going to my usual place in the armchair near one of the walls, I reply, "Not necessary, thank you very much.""Mr. Meyer will finish his meeting soon and come to attend to you" The secretary assures me, smiling kindly at me before leaving the place and closing the door behind her.Setting my things down on the couch, feeling exhausted, I sit down on the couch with a sigh, feeling frustrated. I'm not going to give up on the company thing, but my time is consumed in a silly, miserable way by staying here, waiting for Dominik to talk to me to resolve something that is technically mine by right. A
Dominik POV.Taking a deep breath, after that release of anger I just had, I look up, watching as Victoria runs and grabs her things. This makes me blink and feel somewhat confused, as for a moment I expected her to respond to me, to argue with me.But Victoria behaved in a completely different way, surprising me as usual, and practically ran away. So in silence, expectantly waiting to see what she was going to do, I just stood and watched as she grabbed her things and ran out awkwardly, pushing the door of my office hard. Watching her run away, I stand up, hesitating between whether I should follow her or not, starting to reason that the things I said to her maybe went too far.So a few seconds after Victoria runs off, I watch as Lisa peeks inside my office confused, telling me, "Mr. Meyer, you need to go get her."Letting go of my hesitation after hearing Lisa's words, I leave my desk and walk quickly outside down the main hallway, approaching as fast a
Victoria POVUnable to stop crying, I held my phone in my hand tightly, so tightly that I thought I was going to break it. It was in my phone book, and I already had my parents' and Jenny's number in hand, seriously thinking about calling them to tell them what had happened and seek their support.After rushing out of Dominik's office, feeling very embarrassed, as I couldn't stop crying and had to come back here like this, I forced myself to think as best I could. I had planned to go home, as I left Dominik's office I just wanted to give up and go back home to my parents and what my life was like before all of this. But when I was in the elevator, thinking about everything that happened, I realized I couldn't do that.Where was I going to get a thousand dollars even if I could? I have no money, I'm broke, my family is broke from my wedding that happened only three weeks ago. If I left Dominik's house and gave up, the contract would be broken because of me and I
Dominik POVWhat should I do? I suppose it's a reasonable doubt, as I'm not quite sure what my next move should be in all of this, in how I can try to fix this whole mess.Watching as Victoria enters the house, I leave the entertainment room and head in her direction, wanting to talk to her."You're home early from school," I tell her waving.On the way to the kitchen, Victoria answers me, "Yes."She still keeps her curt attitude, talking to me in that cold and serious way all the time, so I can't help but worry, not knowing how to approach her again, maybe not to be friends, but at least to try to be friends or something in the time our marriage lasts. And I'm trying to fix it, only if she... Would let me get close.Going to the kitchen, Victoria says a friendly hello to all my employees, and crossing a couple of kind words with them, Victoria finally takes her lunch on a tray and goes back to the dining room, where I'm waiting for her.
Victoria POVTaking a deep breath, I listen as in the distance behind these curtains, the wedding march plays, by that nice band we had hired for our wedding.I didn't have fond memories of my first wedding. I was in a funk, with the news of my arranged marriage and after getting such an impression of Dominik and his family, it was practically impossible for me to enjoy that ceremony. Besides that as such, that was not my wedding, it was Dominik's mother's wedding, that insufferable woman was the one who was in charge of organizing most of the details of my wedding, from the hors d'oeuvres to my dress. So that whole party and ceremony didn't feel like my own thing, it felt like my duty to marry Dominik.But my second wedding... It's something different.For a long time when I regained my memory, I felt extremely regretful and stupid for having signed my divorce with Dominik, for having been so unconscious to sign those documents. For because of my mistake
Dominik POVI open my eyes in the middle of the darkness. After having sex with Victoria in an uncontrolled manner several times, I end up surrendered in bed. Sometimes I think I should improve my physical condition just for my wife, who has become insatiable.Abandoning my thoughts as I turn in bed, I soon wonder where she is right now, as next to me there is no one, there is only the empty bed. With a yawn, having regained some of my energy from that short nap, I stand up and grab my underwear, putting them on and deciding to leave the room to look for her.It didn't take long to find her, seeing her in the main room of the suite, wearing my shirt, and sitting on the floor looking outside through one of the large windows.Smiling at the sight of her, I slowly approach her, sitting behind her and hugging her back, "What are you doing, didn't you rest?" I ask kissing her on the neck.Victoria smiles playfully, and entangles her fingers with mine in
Victoria POVIn the middle of this beautiful room, which made the most beautiful memories flow in me, I couldn't help but melt with Dominik in a passionate and long kiss, while my body stuck to his, and his naughty hands started to slide down my waist, reaching my buttocks and pressing my buttocks."Dominik..." I say in a whisper breaking our kiss when he presses my buttocks on the thin fabric of my dress.Smiling in a somewhat shy way, Dominik says to me, "I'm sorry Tory, I don't think I can control myself right now."Smiling reassuringly at him, I take his face in my hands, saying, "I don't want you to control yourself."Those words coming from my lips are enough to drive my husband crazy, who takes me in his arms, and with quick steps heads to the suite's bedroom, making me laugh. Yes, he is quite impatient...My body bounces on the soft feather bed of the hotel, the same one on which I once lost my virginity to this man I love with all m
Dominik POVShortly after Derick's nanny arrives, Victoria and I leave our house for the city. Unlike our short married life without children, Victoria and I no longer had as many freedoms now, as we could stay out all night at a party and return at dawn, Derick was still a small baby, and he needed Victoria by his side. Still, we could definitely do something in the little free time we had.I love my son with all my heart, but secretly, if only I had wished my time alone with Victoria as a slightly freer couple had lasted longer.But there is no time for regrets now, and enjoying my young son and my now stable family, I can only long for my times with fewer responsibilities in the past."Wow... We haven't been here in a while" Victoria says, as we approach the most luxurious hotel on the island."I know, when we arrived I had planned to come here often, but I think we only came here for the first few days of our arrival," I say unable to hold in s
Dominik POVFeeling loving kisses on my face, I barely open my eyes and see Victoria's smiling face next to me, something that immediately makes me smile too, as I love to see her so happy and next to me."Hi," I say looking at her."Hi..." She answers me, lowering her gaze immediately to our son, "Were you guys taking a nap?""The baby was taking it, and I... I foolishly fell asleep too.""It's okay, don't worry, you've worked hard these days, you deserve to rest too."Holding her things better, Victoria stands up, walking to one of the furniture nearby to put her phone on charge.After all, getting back to my life with Victoria wasn't difficult at all.I was able to enjoy her last few months of pregnancy when she was in such a delicate state after all the horrible things that happened to her because of me. I still didn't mind taking care of her at all, and I kept her like a princess at home during that time.My mother
Victoria POVWith a sigh, I take off my sunglasses, listening as my phone alarm beeps steadily, signaling to me that my relaxing time on the beach is finally over.Honestly, I wanted to enjoy however I could these last days I have in this paradisiacal place with my family, since after almost 6 months I was going back home for my wedding, and I wanted to enjoy a natural tan for that. So looking at the sunset sun over my head, already practically disappearing on the horizon to give way to the night. I understand that it's the right time to head back home. I still have a couple of days to come to the beach to soak up some sun before returning home.Almost a year has passed since my accident and my reunion with Dominik, and during all this time... My life has been perfect, better than a dream.Just as I had anticipated, in the month of March, my little boy was born without a hitch. My beautiful Deric Evian Meyer was my greatest love next to his father, and al
Victoria POVI felt like I was in heaven, having just woken up from a long dream, a nightmare. But now I had all my memories, my memories preserved, I finally knew who I was and I could return to the arms of my beloved husband.I know our relationship is not perfect, I'll be damned if I ever suggest that it is. However, amid its imperfection, I was happy with Dominik, as I believe we both compliment each other and have the ability to make it all work thanks to being able to do that, thanks to being able to be ourselves and find understanding and affection in each other. I don't see myself next to anyone other than Dominik Meyer.So when I feel his arms around my waist, touching my bulging belly, I can't help but get a little emotional and just want to cry. Since I signed the divorce petition foolishly, and for a moment, just a moment, I feared I was going to lose Dominik. Even more so tonight, when for just a couple of seconds, he almost left me again.Tu
Dominik POVAfter thinking about it... I decided that I was definitely not going to give up. I know what Victoria had told me, I know the desperate way she begged me to get out of her life... And even though I was really considering doing it so as not to upset her and not to make the situation even worse... I understood that I couldn't do it.I couldn't disappear from her life and from my son's life like that, I couldn't be a coward and abandon the only family I truly love in this world. For my son and for Victoria, I had to keep fighting for them until the end.So, apologizing to all my employees, whom I had made come to work in vain on such an important date as Christmas Eve, I suspended my trip and asked them to keep the plane. I was not planning to go anywhere.I was determined, I was going to get my family back at any cost, and I planned to start doing that right now if necessary. So grabbing my little luggage and my phone, I was already calling a ca
Victoria POVI felt like I was in some kind of loop, some kind of replay of time and events, as in the middle of a snowy night and so much hustle and bustle, I was running through the streets heading for the airport, to find the man I love and the father of my children.Praying it's not too late.After leaving Dominik's building, the one in which we once had our apartment, one thing became clear to me: Dominik was planning to leave, and that was something I could not allow. So taking all my courage, adjusting the scarf around my neck, and getting very serious, I decided to get to that airport to stop him, even if I had to walk in the snow with my pregnancy, I was determined not to lose Dominik for a second time.But fortunately, when I was arriving at the center of the city, in the middle of the strong gales hitting my face and the snowflakes that had started to fall from the sky, I met the least expected person."Miss Victoria?" I hear as a very f
