Dominik POV
Is 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.
Victory POVStretching my back, I successfully finished another week of exams, bringing me closer and closer to the end of this tedious exam time at school. But this instead of giving me relief, gave me a new worry, for with each day that we were closer to the end of exams, we were each day closer to my honeymoon trip with Dominik, and that to me does not excite me at all."One more week... One more week!" said Jenny, looking extremely tired, "I don't know if I'm going to survive one more week.""Relax, we could do it so far, I'm sure we'll do well until the end" Roy reassures her, as we slowly walk out of gym class."Besides... It's Friday, so you have the whole weekend to rest easy" I remind Jenny."I don't think I can... I have to help Andy study for his math test" Jenny said somewhat angrily.And when we leave the gym, without being able to tell her anything else, Roy and I are surprised, s
Victoria POVQuietly, I look around that office in silence, surprised to be in such a warm place. The walls are painted white, and on its clear surface, there are several paintings of landscapes or animals, all in different colors, but done in a very surrealistic technique. While the rest of the office decor was also in white, with sofas and tables in the same color, as well as carpets and other decorations of the very pure color."Would you like me to offer you something to drink?" Aneliss asks me suddenly, surprising me, "I can bring you water, or a soda, whatever you want, except coffee since for a while I think we won't have access to the coffee maker in the company...""No need, thank you very much" I immediately replied.I don't understand what is happening, as in front of me I have Dominik's sister, his real sister, who is a beautiful and very impressive woman, who is typing quickly on the computer after asking me for some personal information. Dom
Dominik POVIn silence, I waited nervously sitting at my desk for Victoria to arrive.Today was going to be a very important day, for I had finally dared to give Victoria what she deserved, namely her share of the company. Talking to my sister, I initiated the process of dividing my assets to put them in my wife's name. And although I hesitated a bit at first I finally remembered that I must do the right thing to win back Victoria's friendship, so I simply decided to do it without caring about anything else.When I officially started the legal process with my sister a couple of days ago, she said, "Mom is going to be furious about this.""Did she forbid you to split the company too?" I asked Aneliss."You know Mom and I haven't talked in years, because she's crazy, but I figured she'd tell you something like that... But don't worry, even if Mom yells, you know what you're doing is right, so you shouldn't feel bad about it."Feel bad?" I aske
Victoria POVWith a sigh, I walked out of the school with a smile I finally gave my last exam, the last exam of this exam period at school, and I can't help but feel very satisfied and pleased with myself."We did it!" said Jenny hugging me by the shoulders, "We survived! We made it through the exams!"Laughing, I hug her gently as we walk out of the school, "Don't be so dramatic...""But it's great! We made it through our exams!" Jenny insisted again."I know, I know, we should celebrate..."It was a wonderful sunny afternoon, winter was passing, and it was starting to get warm again, so the nice weather would not belong in returning. Of course, we still had to be cautious and walk around in warm clothes for a little while longer, but I was already excited to be able to wear warm-weather clothes, a little lighter and barer, as I'm not too thrilled about having to wear winter clothes.Walking up behind us, Roy says, "To celebrate, do
