I felt it was somehow related to me, Dante who had a blank look on his face was now fuming with anger.“Are you fine? Who was that?” We were in the elevator and I held to his arm softly. He turned to me, his eyes filled with furry, it was like he could kill and when he said do not go easy on him. He meant it. Was he going to hurt someone?“I found who threw the mic at you, he’ll never go home the same way.” He gritted his teeth and balled his fist very tight, veins popping on his fist.“No Dante, you don’t have to hurt him. I am okay, aren’t I?” I still found it a bit weird speaking with him after what had occurred yesterday.“You shouldn’t interfere in matters like this, I will deal with him the way I please. I’ll kill him and dump this body if that’s needed.” I took my hand away from him when he said that. He was going to kill him,“You're joking right?” I asked and he turned to me and gave a smirk.“I am not, no one touches you and goes scot free, I’ll make sure next time he’ll neve
The make up artist would be here tomorrow, to get you ready. The party is scheduled for late in the evening but I’ll take over as the president in morning.“Oh.” I mouthed, it was like it was the only word I knew how to say at the moment.“I want you to be early tomorrow.” He informed and I nodded.“Sure.” I nodded, my head hung up as I stared at him, he was so tall and as I sat and he stood, it wasn’t easy.“After this, your schedule is free for the week. You’ll have all the time to rest.” I gave a very little smile and in seconds it was gone.He paused and stared at me for a while, I could tell that he had noticed that someone was wrong because he had expected me to say more than five words today but I’d barely said anything to him. “Can I leave now?” I asked taking a stand and making a move to leave his presence.“Do we have a problem, Lena?” I nodded my head negatively and I walked out of the discussion room.Dante was home today and it was probably because of the swearing in, I h
Lena’s Point Of ViewI didn’t wait for Irene to wake me up today, before her normal waking up knock came, I was already awake and I had taken my bath before Irene knocked on my door.“Come in.” I rolled out and she pushed the door open.I sat in front of my mirror fully dressed. I was waiting for the makeup artist now because I had helped myself in my clothes and was now waiting for her.“Good morning Mrs Roma?” I saw her glance at my bed then at me and I gave a smile.“You are awake already?”“Yes.” I chuckled.“And you’ve had your bath?” Her eyes trailed down my body.“Yes Irene.”“Why?” Her voice was very low, I turned to her and stopped using the reflection of my dressing mirror to stare at her .“I figured it would be nice to get myself ready without your help, you deserve some rest.” A little smile appeared on my face.“You no longer need me? I like to get you ready, it is not a problem. I love to get you ready, it reminds me of the old days when I used to get my daughter ready
Lena’s Point of ViewThe signing in and swearing was done very fast and I had to be there as the fake head of council that I was, I smiled all through and acted like I was happy. Dante suggested we head back home for lunch then get ready for the party. Fuck! I hated parties for the rich. It was no fun and I’ll have to stand all the time smiling and not have a proper dance on the dance floor. It had to be all elegant and sophisticated.We got back home and Irene helped me out of my clothes.“Irene, this dress was a little too tight. If you could pick a simpler dress for me for tonight's dinner party, I'd be happy about it.”“I told you to let me help you pick your dress, I know what suits you so well and what would make you comfortable.”“Yeah you do.”I had expected the signing in to be long and filled with procedures but it wasn’t, it was just two men that exchanged some kind of paperwork in front of many people and after which they shook their hands.I got down for lunch and took
Lena’s Point Of ViewI walked out of the hall and found my way to the restroom. It was just two days ago and things had changed drastically, this kiss didn’t matter anymore, my feelings didn’t matter anymore. I wanted to scream and yell to the world that I was tired of this charade but I couldn’t.Even if his words were hurting me a lot, I wanted to stay with him and see him succeed and see him get back what he had lost yet a part of me still didn’t understand him and wanted to be away from someone this toxic.I cried and felt better, retouched my makeup and wanted to go back in but I didn’t have the strength either, I wanted to breathe fresh hair. I walked out of the restroom just randomly strolling, I took the elevator until I was at the rooftop, I just needed the fresh air.I walked in and leaned on the wall, the breeze was cool and it was somehow able to get into my thick skull.“Tired of the party?” A voice startled me and I turned around to see who it was. It was Adonis, he had
Lena’s Point Of ViewSince the party was thrown because of Dante, we had to stay until the party was almost over.The way he pulled me out of the roof top and into the elevator, I needed no soothsayer to tell me that he was mad at me, he had seen me speaking with Adonis and I am sure that he’s very mad at me.The party was finally over and our drive home was really silent, none of us was ready to speak to each other or try to start a conversation and keep it going . It's been like that since the last two days and I’m pretty sure it’s going to be the same way.I didn’t know why but I was hurting. My head was aching as much as my heart was. Even if I had told myself that the love phase was over it was still there. It was still hurting. I hated finding out that he was sleeping with other women even when he’s married to me.I know that I am not his wife Gwen and I am Lena, the wife he married under a contract. I shouldn’t get hurt, I shouldn’t feel bad but I was. I was hurting because
Dante’s Point Of View I had gone in search of Lena when I noticed she was nowhere to be found in the party, she had wasted too long in the restroom and I felt that something was wrong with her.I searched for her in the restroom and she wasn’t there. I was a bit worried because I knew that she barely knew her way around. I asked the security men by the elevator if they had seen her and they’d affirmed seeing her leave for the rooftop.I got in the elevator to go search for her, I was too mean to her, i shouldn’t have threatened her in that manner“I want to see more. What else do you know about Dante?”I reached the rooftop and I was surprised to see Lena with Adonis, she was listening to him, what was she doing here? And why was she with Adonis of all people.I stayed quiet for a while to listen to whatever lie he was telling Lena.“Now you're speaking, does this mean that we are now a team? We will work together. I’ll gather information about him and tell you. I will protect you m
Dante’s Point Of ViewThe Next Morning It was my first day in King Empire as the president and the new head, a new office, furnished to my taste, my desk and work area in front of the floor to ceiling window which gave a good view.I had a lot of work piled up for me, meetings with other head of departments.My new secretary matched into my office with a few files in her hand.“Mr Roma, these are files that need your signatures urgently.” She placed them on my table where the other files were kept.“What’s your name again?” I looked at her from head to toe, she had a royal blue shirt on and her buttons were barely complete, she had her cleavage showing.“Grace, sir.” I took the pen to my lips and gave a glance at her.She looked so indecent, did my office look like a club?“The next time you come to my office with your buttons half done with a spike of indecency, I’ll take it as you want to work as a stripper and I’ll be helpful to fire you.” The words rolled out of my mouth so sm
