Victoria POV
From a very young age, I lived in different tensions in my house, I was the older sister, so I was the most aware of my parents' problems and I also felt more responsible for my siblings. From a very young age, I put pressure on myself, as I always dreamed of restoring my family to its glory, to have businesses like my grandfather had, and being rich; so my parents would never have to worry about money again.
And since my dream was possibly difficult to achieve, as I was a girl of average means, who dreamed of owning her own company and becoming rich, I remember that I lived much of my life in stress. My mother knew that I was stressed, that from the middle of middle school or the beginning of high school, I was under a lot of pressure in my studies and in my behavior to achieve my dreams, and although she talked to me to ask me to relax because I could hurt myself if I kept pushing myself so hard, I did not listen to her and went on with my own thing. I g
Dominik POVWalking quickly throughout the living room of my apartment, I think I'm going to go into a meltdown at any moment, as I can't stop moving back and forth in the room, only able to wait for Victoria."Will you calm down? You're making me nervous" Complains Aneliss, sitting on one of the couches in my house, who came with me from the office after telling me that she had confessed to Victoria about the whole business and my mother, without my consent or my being present to try to explain things.Turning in her direction, very seriously I say, "Do you really expect me to calm down after what you did?""I didn't know you didn't tell him!""I never told you I did! You must have guessed!""Oops excuse you, Mr. Protector, you don't want to upset your wife" She scoffs."I'm one step away from calling my guards and taking you out of the house" I threaten her.Sometimes when I'm with Aneliss like this, even when we both argue i
Dominik POV"This is the first time I've seen you drive," Victoria says to me, with a smile.Smiling at her too, as we stop at a traffic light, "I told you I knew how to do it.""Yeah, but I've always seen you with chauffeurs, so it's a little weird for me to see you driving now, I don't know... I like it."This is what I mean, Victoria is weird, she's not angry... Why isn't she angry?I know Victoria pretty well, since we started our relationship in a more normal way, I thought I knew all her facets and character, and that's why I know she gets upset easily, she doesn't like to be lied to or kept secrets, and she doesn't like to be taken as a child either; and I did all that by keeping the current company issue from her.That's why I expected Victoria to be furious with me because in similar situations we have been through together, Victoria would always get furious when I would do things like this, hide things from her or underestimate her
Victoria POV.Remaining silent, I keep looking Dominik in the eyes, in the middle of the semi-darkness of the hallway on the second floor of his apartment, where the moonlight filters through the upper windows. Maybe I went too far in telling him all those things? I don't think so, maybe I said it all too fast, but it's all things I've thought about during the afternoon while walking everywhere in the city, and it's something I had to tell Dominik to move on."Of course not, I know you're not a girl" Dominik replies to me, after a couple of seconds in silence.Unable to help but doubt his words, he asks, "Are you sure?"I know Dominik is very protective of me, but that's okay, it's nice under a certain kind of approach, and I love him being that way. But I think Dominik doesn't know the boundary between being protective in a nice way and something that can become annoying and even harmful to me. And I think it's good that Dominik understands what the limi
Victoria POV"I want to stay" I whisper, looking into Dominik's eyes."Good girl..." Dominik answers me with a smile on his face.Pulling me closer, he again kisses my lips, bringing our faces together. I don't think either of us can or want to wait much longer, so Dominik impatiently unbuttons my pants and taking them from my hips, begins to pull them down along with my underwear. Caressing his back and shoulders, I bring my hands to his chest, where I carefully start to remove his suit jacket, and undo the buttons of his shirt, being able to touch with my fingers the skin of his chest, so muscular and well-shaped... I love listening to Dominik.Breaking the kiss, finally removing my pants, Dominik whispers against my lips, "Victoria..."Rising off my body and without warning, Dominik grabs my hips and rolls me over on the bed, leaving me on his abdomen as he makes me laugh. Dominik is very muscular and very strong, so he can arrange my bed any wa
Dominik POVSighing, I finished putting on that white t-shirt, which matched my somewhat dark-colored pants. I know it's kind of a relaxed outfit, but since we're going to a high society event with casual etiquette, I guess it's the right attire. Finishing dressing as well, putting on those blue sandals to match her dress, Victoria walks over to me smiling."What do you think?" she asks me, turning to let me see her pretty dress.She was wearing a thin and light dress, the kind we used to wear on the island, with soft and light fabrics as it is the outfit she chose for this specific meeting. Smiling at the sight of her, I reply, "You look beautiful, as always.""But do you think it's appropriate? I don't want to make a bad impression with your associates..." Victoria replies to me, noticing herself somewhat nervous."You won't make a bad impression, you look wonderful, as always baby."Moving closer to her, I give her a hug around the waist,
Dominik POVSmiling softly, I stand by Victoria's side, holding her hand gently, as I let her speak. While she, very loosely, talks in a friendly and very interesting way with another of the investors, a young man who was interested in the robotic advances that my company could make, although I honestly would never be interested in it, as it seems to me too risky an investment in an area that we do not master and that could end catastrophically."... And that's the future, medical nanotechnology is the future of the market and of the country," Said the animated investor, speaking at length with Victoria.Even though I'm sure Victoria didn't understand much of what that man wanted to tell her, she still smiles and nods her head, as she takes some more of her drink and then replies, "According to what you've told me, it's a technological breakthrough, which can be beneficial to many people...""It is!" Says the animated investor, "You should think about inv
Victoria POVTake a deep breath and not let her nonsense get to me. That's what I had set out to do from the first moment I arrived at this party and met Dominik's mother, focus on my business and not let her get me out of control. I am not here to befriend or treat Dominik's mother well, I think I am past the resignation stage of knowing that this woman is not going to like me no matter what I do, so I am here with a clear intention, and that is something that she cannot take away from me or that I must stop her from taking away from me. I am here for and for the company that rightfully belongs to me.And so even though I'm scared, sitting next to her in a cramped place like this around the people who can define my destiny in the company and in my life in general, with a woman who hates me as much as Dominik's mother here, I'm focused on making things right and not letting her intimidate me. I'm going to be the one walking out of this meeting smiling, not her.
Victoria POV"Where's my car?" Dominik's mother says in a loud, demanding tone.She stops at the entrance of the cottage, next to a frightened and very unfortunate employee of place, that nasty woman is loudly demanding that they bring her car as soon as possible, while the employee apologizes over and over again for the delay and for not being able to give her her car as fast as she demanded. Just the sight of her makes me sick.Finally approaching her, trying to deal with her temper and clinging to whatever patience I have, I smile and look at my mother-in-law, saying, "Mrs. Meyer."Hearing my voice, she sounds incredibly frustrated, and distracting her attention from the clerk to see me, she asks, "What are you doing here? I don't want you here, leave now.""Please Mrs. Meyer, reconsider your decision to leave, you haven't eaten anything from the buffet before you even leave...""And why stay, to watch you draw the attention of the other
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
