Victoria POV
I felt like I might faint soon because I was so nervous. When I was finally allowed to go see Dominik, the CEO of this huge company, by getting on that big, luxurious elevator that took me up so many floors, I really thought I was going to faint. The emotions were too strong for me, and I was still unprepared for the unknown, fearing what I might find when I got to Dominik's office.
When the elevator finally finished going up, in the middle of long seconds, I realized with surprise that I had reached the top floor of the tower, did Dominik have his office here? As I arrived, just outside the elevator, I was met by a stunning but friendly woman. I think she is Dominik's receptionist, but she really looks like a model, with a slender and well-proportioned body, wearing a beautiful light pink dress that clings to her body.
Next to this beautiful woman, dressed in my most "elegant" clothes, which were just rags compared to her dress, I couldn't help but
Victoria POV.After leaving Dominik's office, I feel incredibly relieved, as if a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Closing the door by myself, I walk back to the elevator by which I had gotten here, remembering the way well. Lisa, Dominik's kind and beautiful receptionist offers to take me to the elevator, but I refuse, as I'm not so dumb as to not remember how to get there. So I just say goodbye and thank her for her kindness and help, continuing on my way to the elevator.My meeting with Dominik had been very quick, stupidly quick if I have to be honest. Since I had hoped that when we both met, we could talk at length about the matter of our engagement and what it entailed for us, but Dominik didn't seem interested, and ended the matter rather quickly as if he didn't care; which is irritating but reassuring at the same time.Reaching the elevator, I press the button to call it up to the floor I'm on, while still thinking about everything that happ
Dominik POV.A month passed since I signed the document that obligated me to marry Victoria Miller, and now we are less than two weeks away from our wedding.Just as I promised her, shortly after we signed the contract in my office that same night, I took care of making it legal with my lawyer, and when we finished the process of the stamps and legal validation for the document, I had her copy with all the signatures and stamps delivered to Victoria's house, along with a wedding ring that my assistant bought for her.I didn't want to give her the ring, it seemed like a silly waste of money because the contract that obligated us to get married didn't stipulate anything about a ring or any of that nonsense. But Lisa insisted, pointing out to me how important those silly details are for some women, and that even if I don't love Victoria, I should try to make her happy to have a healthy coexistence by her side when we both get married. So since Lisa insisted so much
Dominik POVAmid my mother's hateful and insistent complaints, which were about to drive me crazy, we made our way back from the outskirts of the city where my family's mansion is located to the city again where on this occasion we headed to the hall where my wedding was to take place.Thanks to the planning of the wedding planners I hired and the efforts of my mother, we had everything almost completely finished organizing, however before we could finish everything, we had to talk and finally confirm everything with Victoria's family, so we only needed to talk to them to finish everything that was left. We had already booked the date of January 4th to have the religious ceremony in one of the biggest and most colorful churches in the city, while the party would take place in the best event hall we could find for the same date, in an auditorium that belonged to a five-star hotel.We couldn't meet at the church, so we decided to have the meeting at the hotel hall
Victoria POV."Why did you do that?" my mother asks me upset, as we walk out of that fancy hotel together to go home.I didn't want to make a fuss right there, not with Dominik and his mother so close still, but my mother was very upset and scared, walking next to me to scold me for what happened at the meeting."Tory, listen to me, I'm asking you, how do you plan on buying those rings, we don't have enough money to afford something like that!" my mother says to me."It's just that I... I'm fed up" I answer truthfully, "Did you see the way she treated us? I couldn't stand her treating us that way, no more..."Stopping my advance through the entrance of that hotel by taking me by one arm, my mother tells me: "Victoria, you can't do this, you can't do something like this to us, we can't buy those rings, we can't afford that money.""I know, believe me I know, even better than you, it's not for nothing I'm marrying Dominik, I'm doing it because
Victoria POV.I always dreamed of a magical wedding because of my mother. When I was younger, my mom always told me about the wedding she had with my dad, the day my mom always called: the most important day of her life.My mom's dream was always to be a family woman, she got to fulfill herself professionally and all those things, but I knew her too well, so I knew that her biggest dream was always to have her own family and find her great love, my mom is that kind of women who dreams of having a great love story with a happy ending.I don't know if her dreams were fulfilled regarding that, to have a great and epic love story, but I do know that my mom fulfilled her dream regarding her family, because even though now with my marriage and all those other things we are in kind of a family panic, my mom was always happy regarding the family we have, her kids and her husband. And following that idea, it's very obvious that for my mother, a very important moment of t
Victoria POVNervously, I bite one of my lips softly, while looking at my reflection in the mirror."Damn... I shouldn't do that" I say to myself, stopping biting my lips immediately.It was very early, almost early morning, but I had been summoned here on the day of the wedding before the ceremony so I could get dressed up properly, doing my makeup and putting on the dress I bought with my mother for the wedding. And while all of that stuff I just mentioned sounds "easy", it really isn't, it takes way too much time and is very stressful.We are in a beauty salon in the southern part of the city, the area where there are wealthy people, and where I guess Dominik's family lives. As arranged, my parents and I arrived at 5:30 am in our car, and it was our big surprise when we saw inside the salon several women already getting ready for the ceremony, among whom I could identify Dominik's mother.If you had asked me, I would have preferred to get ready
Dominik POVStanding at the altar, I let out a sigh, why am I nervous? This is a game, it's silly, but still, I'm standing here, and I can't help but press my fingers against one of my hands with some force because of how nervous I feel, just wanting all this nonsense to end at once so I can stop going through this tense moment.I'm in the church, standing at the altar, which is adorned with ivory-colored flowers. All around me, I have the church full, not only with my relatives or Victoria's relatives but also with my business associates and famous or important people in the country, big groups of people who are here just to see me marry Victoria.The whole place is silent, with the people who are here equally waiting for Victoria to arrive, talking to each other in whispers or staring at me; which only makes me more nervous. And the only people I can focus on, watching them out of the corner of my eye from my position, are my family, who are sitting very close
Dominik POV.The cheers and applause are heard again, and although I see how in front of me Victoria wants to tell me something, I don't make much trouble, and wanting to end all this as soon as possible to leave quickly, I approach her and take her by the chin, kissing her lips. Carefully I join her lips with mine, feeling her warm, soft skin against mine. But it's just a kiss, something unimportant to me, so I soon release her chin and pull away from her face again.And although I expected Victoria to have the same reaction, as something as normal and unimportant as a kiss, when I pull away from her and see her face I realize that she has not taken it as something so simple. Looking very embarrassed, Victoria has her whole face very flushed, as she stares at me and is speechless. Looking at her so surprised, I realize that the kiss hasn't meant as little to her as it has meant to me, so I hesitate if I should apologize for my rash actions.But watch out of the
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
