ANA'S POV
"We're going to be late, what is taking you so long ?", I heard Vincenzo shouting from the corridor.
"She'll be out in a minute ", said Armando.
I looked at my reflection in the mirror and I had never looked so gorgeous before. The smokey eye makeup that Armando had decided to go with really made the whole outfit pop out.
My hair was in curls and tied up at the top of my head showing off my perfect jaw. I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled.
"I'm ready ", I said as I stood up.
"Okay come on let's go, "said Armando as he opened the door for me.
I made my way down the stairs struggling a bit probably due to the platforms I had decided to wear. I could see Vincenzo on his phone and he looked well like he looked every day.
I had never seen anyone wear a suit better than he did. He looked up from his phone and I could tell by the look on his face that he was shocked.
I tried to hide the smile on his lips but I had already seen it. He put the phone back in his pocket as he came to the end of the stairs and gave me his hand.
"You look amazing ", he said as he looked at me, and those two seconds that he started at my eyes nearly made me fall in love with him.
"Thank you, you clean up well too", I said as I looked at his suit.
"Yeah, I do hear that a lot ", he said chuckling.
You could not even compliment the man and hope to hear the words thank you.
"Thank you Armando ill tell them to send the payment right now, we are getting late we have to rush ", he said as he held my hand and walked me to the door.
What was the point of going to a party if you were not late?
The ride to the party was quiet as no one uttered a word. Vincenzo was on his phone and I was just in my head thinking of impossible stuff.
The car came to a stop and I took it that we had reached our destination. Vincenzo got off the car and came to open my door.
He held my hand and I got off the car to see the most beautiful site I had ever laid my eyes on.
The building looked like a palace and all the lights made it look lively. There were guards on the outside and paparazzi.
I had never attended such kind of event and the moment the lights started flashing I was blinded. Vincenzo noticed this as he held to my arm tightly and managed to get us inside safely.
"Are you okay ?", Vincenzo asked me as I took a glass of champagne from one of the trays that were next to me and drank it in one go.
Everyone's eyes were on us and I could feel my legs giving up. I tried to smile maybe they would stop looking at me but the stares still lingered on me.
", Yeah ", I said smiling at him.
I had never been to such a big party let alone met such important people. Maybe the liquor was going to help me have some courage to talk to them.
"Don't go anywhere I need to talk to someone", said Vincenzo as he left and I was left there stranded given the fact that no one in the party knew me.
He made his way to a group of men. They greeted each other and I took it that they knew each other.
They turned to look at me and I wondered what he had told them about me.
Everyone was talking to someone and I just looked as if I had crashed a party. A server passed by me and I grabbed a second drink. Maybe it would give me the courage to talk to people too.
"That color looks so good in you ", said someone behind me and I turned to see who it was.
He looked like he was in his late twenties. His black jet hair was pulled back. The black tuxedo that he was wearing shone in the lights. I couldn't see his face properly as the dim lights were not making it easy for me.
"Thank you ", I said as I extended my hand to greet him.
"Dylan Harrington, nice to make your acquaintance my lady ", he said as he bowed and a squeal escaped my mouth.
"Is that how people introduce themselves here ?", I asked him.
"No am not a fan of these parties I just figured that is how they do it ", he said shrugging his shoulders.
"Am Anastasia, ", I said to him and I debated if I was to add Morello in front of it but I figured it was not necessary.
"I know you have heard this a thousand times but am just going to say it again, you look amazing ", he said and I could not help but smile.
"Thank you, you look good too", I said to him.
"Where is your date ?"_he asked me and I turned around to see if Vincenzo was with the old men he had gone to greet but he was no longer there.
"Well if he has gone somewhere I would like to steal you for a dance before all these men who are eyeing you come ", he said chuckling as he gave me his hand.
"No one is eyeing me ", I said as I laughed nervously.
"Look around and you'll see it you're the envy of all these women in here ", he said and as I looked around I could see them looking at me.
The men looked at me with lustful eyes as the women gave me disgusted looks. I was just a twenty-two-year-old who had nothing in her name they had no reason to hate me. I wanted to be them.
I saw Vincenzo from the corner of my eye as he talked to a woman who looked way older than him and in a matter of seconds I saw them leave together entering the corridor which I figured led them outside.
"Okay, just one dance ", I said as I took Dylan's hand.
Why would I say no when my husband was leaving the party with a woman I hadn't seen before?
VINCENZO'S POV I was taken aback by how she looked. I had never seen her dressed up or have any makeup on her face. I always thought that she was beautiful but I was just caught off guard.I wanted to tell her how it felt to have the prettiest woman in my arms but I knew she didn't care about that. She did t even want to go to the ball in the first place.She has just agreed to it because she didn't want to fight with me. She had found me with a woman on my head and didn't say a thing. Just stood there when Aurora called her my maid and didn't say anything.How stupid of me to think that she would even want me? She only married me because she was benefiting something from our union.I could see all the men looking at me wishing they were the ones that were with her and not me. She looked anxious as she took a glass of champagne and drank it."Are you okay ?", I asked her."Yeah ", she said as she smiled at me.I saw Arturo with some of the board members and I had to go say hello. It
VINCENZO'S POV"So do you like him?", I asked her as she swayed with the soft rhythm music."Like who ?", she asked.She knew who exactly j was talking about and she still wanted me to say it."Dylan ", I said."Why do you ask it's not like it matters to you ", she said as she looked up at me."You are my wife of course I care ", I said snickering."It didn't seem so when you left with that woman ", she said and I let out a chuckle."So all this is about her ?", I asked her."Can we please dance so that you can go back to her she seems mad, considering am your maid", she said sarcastically.At that moment I felt guilty. Guilty for standing there as I watched Aurora shame her without even uttering a word. I did not think that it was important but as I looked at the sadness in her eyes as she said it I felt like the most horrible person ever."I didn't have sex with her if that is what you are wondering ", I said hoping it would at least make her feel better."I don't care ", she said a
ANNA'S POVWe enter his room and he doesn't bother to turn on the lights. He puts me on the bed and I can see the moonlight outside shining so I was able to see his face.The dress I had been wearing was now nowhere to be seen as I was left in my undies. His eyes raked over my body as he took his suit jacket off and ripped open his shirt. He covered me on the bed and started kissing my calves. "You're so beautiful ", he said and I could stop myself from filling the tingling sensation between my legs. He cupped one of my breasts as his lips started kissing mine ferociously.I moan in his mouth as he bites my lip and squeezes my boob. I was getting impatient as he continued to play with me and he still had his trousers on. He unclipped my brazier and my boobs were bare just staring at him. I could feel his hard member pressing on my stomach and the thought of it was making me even hornier.I want to tell him that this is my first time but what if I ruin it? What if he wouldn't like
ANA'S POVIt had been over a week since I had last seen Vincenzo. I don't know what I had expected to happen. Somewhere inside of me I still thought that fairytales existed.That a prince would come and sweep me off my feet but as days went by I realized that didn't exist. I had gone back to the usual things that I did all the time. Wake up eat and then go back to bed. The days were getting longer as time went by.I could not complain I had the best week with him but once he had gone away from business that was it.Maybe I was acting like some clingy wife but what was I supposed to do in this situation? Was I supposed to forget all the amazing sex that I had?Every time I looked at something g all I got were flashbacks and I couldn't help myself but get wet by the things I thought of.I did t know that once you started doing it was like you carved it all the time. After finishing taking my shower I went downstairs to eat. That was the only activity I did during the day. Maybe he wou
The bright light streaming into my room woke me up and I wondered who had pulled the drapes. I turned to stretch and the bed was empty.I opened my eyes and closed them shut a minute later as all the light was too much. Vincenzo was no longer beside me and I wondered if he had already gone to work.I made my way downstairs and I heard some chatting and I wondered who was talking. I went to the dining room and I found Vincenzo and some man who I had never seen before."Good morning ", I greeted them as I sat down."Good morning ", said the strange man."This is your chauffeur, Raul. He'll drive you to wherever you want to go ", said Vincenzo."Oh thank you ", I said as I served myself some breakfast."Well you're dismissed ", said Vincenzo to Raul and he left."Immaculate wanted to see you ", said Vincenzo without looking at me."Oooh I'll go by the hospital to see her then ", I said and we fell into an uncomfortable silence again."So any plans for today ?", I asked him trying to star
I make my way to the wing where Immaculate was. I knew they were mad at me but I hadn't told them the whole truth. How could I though? How could I tell them that I had sold myself so that Immaculate could get treatment? Someone else would have thought that it was something nice that I had done but it didn't seem like it when I thought about it. Sometimes in life when you don't have a choice you do things that you never thought that you would do so that you can get what you wanted. Beggars were not choosers you just had to take whatever was offered without complaining. I opened the door to Immaculate's rooms and it seemed like Alphonso was not around. I wondered where he had gone as I took the seat next to Immaculate I held her hand. She was fast asleep probably due to the drugs that she has to consume every day. They were the only family that I knew of so even if it meant a lifetime of not being happy so long as they were okay I would do anything for them. I remember how my wor
"Dear when did you get in", I heard Alphonso's voice as he brought me back from my thoughts. "I've just been here for a couple of minutes", I said as I stood up to hug him. "I've missed you so much", he said as he pulled back and inspected me. "You look healthy", he said as he chuckled and we sat on the couch both looking at Immaculate. "You do too, have you been eating?", I asked him. "Yes I have", he said and he looked like he was eating not starving himself. I made sure that they go the best service in the hospital. Why wouldn't they when I was married to the CEO of the hospital? "Am glad Vincenzo told you to come over, is he treating you well?", Alphonso asked me. "Yes he is", I said as I smiled. I didn't know if I was being treated nice or not. When I had signed the contract I was only supposed to be his wife because he needed people to see him as a married man. No one would take a bachelor serious in business if all they saw was him with another woman every time he was
VINCENZO'S POV. I stared at her as I drove and she looked like she was lost somewhere. I wanted to start a conversation but were we supposed to talk about it? Our relationship was just for our gains and I didn't think she even cared about how I was doing. She has been on my mind every single day I woke up. I had wanted to call her so many times but I felt like she wouldn't appreciate it. I could not erase the night of passion that we had together. I could not even look at another woman without picturing her instead. She was like an infested bug in my brain that I couldn't get rid of. She glanced to look at me but the moment I looked at her she looked away quickly. I parked my car and went and opened the door for her. I took her hand in mine and started walking until I noticed her gaze on me and I realized what I had done as I let go of her hand. "I will pick you up in the evening when you're done", I said as I walked away I could hear her muttering something but I could y catc
