Victoria POV
Sighing, I lay on my bed with my eyes closed. Like every Saturday, while Dominik is at the office or at his private gym inside the apartment, I stay in my room studying. I'm going to graduate soon, which means I'll have to apply to get into a good university and get a scholarship, something that's quite difficult for me since it's quite competitive to achieve something like that.
Having a good GPA in school is half the way, I also have to study to take the entrance exam to the university I'm applying to, which will probably be the hardest and most important exam of my whole life. I know I can repeat the exam, but if I take it next year or next semester, I will not be eligible for a scholarship, so I only have one chance, just one chance to pass that exam and get into a good college.
This effort is necessary to fulfill my dreams.
So even though it is a bit heavy, I am studying all the free time I have available, to prepare myself for that very
Dominik POVWith a sigh, I stopped my car in front of Victoria's parents' house. On the other side of the front door, I could see a light smoke in the air, as well as a rather pleasant smoky smell wafting up to my car, which meant only one thing: The barbecue for Victoria's grandmother had already begun.I divert my attention from what seemed to be happening in the backyard of the house to Victoria when I hear her sigh. She doesn't seem too happy that she came, looking at her house with some suspicion, she even seemed annoyed that she had to come here, something that makes me feel guilty. I know I asked her to come here but maybe I pushed her too hard, maybe I went too far with her asking for something like this, and it worries me since if this meeting goes wrong, I will be the one to blame for asking to come to this place."If you want we can stay in the car for a while longer before we go to the party" I propose to Victoria.She hesitates for a moment b
Victoria POVI knew perfectly well that this was going to happen, so that's why I refused to come here at first because I... I didn't want to see my mother.But still, I'm here now, there's no way I can leave, so I have to at least put on the best attitude I can until I get a chance to go back home with Dominik. And of course, I'm calm now, but when I get home, I'm going to kill Dominik, definitely, because he lied to me by telling me that we were only going to stay for a moment because watching him cook outside with my dad and committing to staying for lunch is not a moment, Dominik made us stay for a long time.I'm going to kill him for lying to me by coming here."So how's school going, Tory?" my mom asks me suddenly.Me standing in front of the open refrigerator, putting in some of the meat sauces Dominik had bought, trying to refrigerate them so they don't spoil, I reply to my mother, "How am I doing? You came to my school two days ago, I gues
Victoria POVWith a sigh, I lower my gaze, as I stand with my arms crossed in front of the refrigerator. Seriously, very seriously, what am I supposed to do now? I still feel upset, my mind and my heart are furious about what happened in my house so many days ago already, but I just... I... I don't know what else I should feel...I love my family, I really love them very much, not for nothing I practically risked my whole life and my future for them by marrying Dominik, I'm not kidding when I say I love them all very much. However I think it still hurts me a lot, what happened hurts, and I don't know if it's something I can forget... But it's something that maybe I can forgive.I know we are not perfect beings, as humans, we all definitely make mistakes, many mistakes, but that is not why we deserve to be judged and suffer as much as my younger brother is doing. Why now I understand that he didn't do this as an act of hate, he is just a kid, and without realizin
Victoria POVAnd just like that... The last school year of my life is ending, as I close this book on the last class I will have for the semester.Several weeks had passed since I met again, weeks that turned into months, and ended with the end of my last school year, in what is probably the best time of my life.My relationship with Dominik is practically perfect, with slight ups and downs because of the fights we sometimes have, but without ever getting to be anything too serious, and only ending in just that, normal little fights that all couples have. It's strange, but in all this time that we've been together as a romantic couple, Dominik and I have practically never fought, or at least we haven't had a fight so serious that I could fear and think that we would break up. Dominik and I ended up getting along better than expected, and now I don't hesitate to say that I love him more and more every day, while still being by his side.On the other hand,
Dominik POVSighing softly, I look at the envelope with Victoria's graduation invitations sitting on my desk. After arriving from the restaurant where we went to celebrate together for the completion of Victoria's classes, I decided to work a bit, since I had to go out with Victoria to celebrate the completion of her classes, I didn't finish all my corresponding work for today.So after arriving home, leaving Victoria to take a bath, I went to my private office, ready to work and do all the work I could not finish today in the afternoon. But something strange happened, for when I got to my office and stood in front of my desk ready to work, I couldn't do it. My mind kept wandering, as I looked at the envelope I had taken from Victoria in my car this afternoon, thinking about her graduation and... Prom.I know Victoria has all her reasons and right to not want to go to that prom, her time at school hasn't been very good, especially now after the news of our marri
Victoria POVSmiling as I feel all the cameras in the audience focus on us and take various pictures of us, I continue to hold my diploma open, as well as my other classmates, letting our parents and the various photographers capture this exciting and supposedly important moment.And here we were, at the end of the road. Before I knew it, in what had possibly been the shortest week of my entire life, the long-awaited day finally arrived, my freaking graduation. I know it's no big deal, but I can't help but feel nervous now, that I'm already in the middle of the ceremony, with my diploma and my gown, it feels so unreal...As with all graduations at the school, the weekend morning was set up in the school auditorium, which is near the gymnasium, where there was restricted passage only for family members and special guests of the graduates, since the auditorium is much smaller than anyone would think, and there is no room for too many people inside.And bein
Victoria POVFeeling very tired, after a day full of so many emotions, I feel relieved when we finally arrive at our apartment. I don't want to lie, today after so much I just want to take off this stupid graduation gown, take a bath next to Dominik, and then sleep the rest of the night."I'm dead" I complain after a sigh, approaching the living room, where I throw my cap wearily.Following me a short distance behind, Dominik replies, "Very tired?""Very tired..."Sighing again, I walk over to one of the larger sofas in the house, where I lazily lie down, feeling very comfortable after such a hectic day. Dominik carefully crouches down next to me, stroking my head, making me smile at his sweet caresses."It's a hot day..." I say to Dominik, looking into his eyes."Summer is coming, and it's already starting to show in the weather.""I know, it's nice. Let's take a bath and order something delicious to eat, some burgers..."
Dominik POVAfter finishing getting my outfit ready, I leave my private room. For this "special" occasion, I had bought a tuxedo to match the dress I bought for Victoria, in a navy blue shade similar to her dress, and which was elegant, but not overly formal. After all, I am not going to a high society event, so I don't have to wear my best clothes, but it is an important enough event to have bought a suit for it.I planned this event very carefully behind Victoria's back since a week ago, when we had that little discussion in my office, as I did plan to take her to that ball at any cost. It wasn't difficult to buy a dress for her, it's the kind of thing she likes and also her size, so the only complicated thing for me in this situation was to find the perfect design, for which I went to my sister, who gladly helped me to find an elegant but modern design, perfect for someone like Victoria.After that, the rest was pretty simple, since I sent one of my messenger
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
