Dominik POV
Victoria and I have a silent walk in the direction of my home, I feel the atmosphere heavy and tense between us, mainly because I think Victoria is angry with me for what happened yesterday. And as much as I would like to apologize to her for what I did, since now being calm and fully conscious, I realize that I really overdid it with her, that I went too far, and that I shouldn't have kissed her or touched her like that. But I can't do that right now, as my driver is with us, and this matter is too delicate to talk about in such a light-hearted manner in front of the servants who attend to me.
In the middle of a road that is not so long, as the hotel where our wedding was in the privileged area of the city, we finally arrived at an area closer to the center of the city, in that area that borders the area of the rich and the center of the city. This place is good to live in my situation since the area where my company building is located is close to the cen
Victoria POVI carefully finish closing the buttons on the sweater I'm currently wearing, finishing dressing that way for school. In the second week of January, as I had been told before vacation, I was to return to school to start my second-semester exams, which undoubtedly made me nervous, as I didn't know if I had studied enough for my school exams.Seeing the time, I decided to hurry, gathering my hair in a ponytail behind my head, and grabbing my last few things for school, I hurry out of my new room. Opening the door and stepping out into the main hallway, for a moment I turn in the direction of the end of the hallway, where all is silent and the doors are closed."Dominik..." I whisper looking in that direction.But I had no more time to waste, and not wanting to be distracted by more inane things, I walk down the stairs to the first floor of the house, where I go straight to the exit of the house."Miss Victoria, wait" Suddenly said a kind
Victoria POVWhat was the main reason I agreed to marry Dominik?Well, besides the fact that I obviously have no money and my family has no money to pay the millionaire sum that meant breaking the contract that obligated me to marry him, there was also another reason.To get my grandfather's company back.Leafing through a gossip magazine during the break, Jenny looks very excited from one minute to the next and says to me: "Did you hear the new rumor about the city's high society?""New rumor?" I asked Jenny blankly."Everyone is talking about it, how the heir to one of the richest families in town had a wedding on the sly a week ago" Jenny explained very excited, putting the magazine in the center of the coffee shop table we were sitting at: "Can you believe that? Dominik Meyer just got married..."At recess, as usual, we find ourselves eating while studying a bit for the exam we would have after lunch. Jenny is eating the food her
Dominik POVSighing, I close my eyes with some exhaustion, leaning back against the back of the seat of my desk chair with some force. The day was very quiet, and amidst the silence of my office, I can hear how through the window behind me, the soothing sound of the street reaches my ears, relaxing me that much more and getting me on the verge of falling asleep.Amid that silence and peace, I am surprised when I hear the sound of my desk phone ringing. So coming out of my relaxed and dreamy state, I reach out one of my hands across the surface of the desk to pick up the phone, which I answer with a serious tone."What's wrong?" I ask my receptionist, who is the only one who can call me on that phone line."Mr. Meyer, the front desk informs me that your wife has come to see you," Lisa answers.Victoria? What the hell is she doing here? After listening to what Lisa tells me, knowing that Victoria is in the building, I remember what the maids who atte
Dominik POVHow could I define my childhood? I think it's a complicated question, something I don't like to talk about too much since I consider it a somewhat obscure time. It should be clarified that there was never a good relationship with my parents at home since my father was a too careless man who gave him all the likes my mother wanted, and my mother... She was always an extremely cold person with everyone, even with her own children.In my childhood I remember all the problems at home, my mother always fighting and obsessed with money, my father always avoiding problems and not wanting to solve anything to do with me or my sister, and my grandfather silently watching everything from a distance. From a young age, I could only rely on my older sister, who played more of a mother role than my own mother.And yet, knowing that my mother was a woman absent from her family who only cared about the company, trying to make us richer than we already were, somethin
Victoria POVCrossing my arms, I look ahead impatiently, as I notice through the windows behind Dominik, the sky darkening and it's already night. How much longer are we going to be here? I have no idea of the answer to that question, but I fear it will be much longer than I expect, and that perhaps Dominik is here just wasting time.Despite several times Dominik asked me to leave, I remained firm, and walking to one of the armchairs in his office, I sat there leaving my backpack next to me and deciding to wait. I wasn't going to give in so easily, it was obvious that I wasn't, I have finally realized that for some reason Dominik is avoiding me, so I have no choice but to force him to agree to give me half of the company, to keep his promise to give me back what is mine and my family.So forcing myself to be patient, I have to put up with staying here, despite how boring it is and the time I am wasting, I must stay in the office until I force Dominik to give me
Victoria POVYawning, I walk out of the classroom next to Jenny to Roy, feeling the stress leave my body after coming off a really difficult exam, which I had studied hard for the night before after returning from Dominik's office.Looking at me yawning, Jenny says, "Are you okay? You've been yawning a lot, didn't you sleep well yesterday?"Jenny was my best friend, and I really would give the whole world to talk to her and tell her the truth of what is going on, wanting to tell her all my sorrows and vent with her about all the things I am going through with Dominik. But I know that neither she nor Roy can know anything, so I have no choice but to lie about what is really going on with me."It's because of the math test today, I stayed up late studying" I lie to Jenny.Sympathetically, she replies, "I understand, I stayed up until three in the morning yesterday memorizing all the formulas, it was horrible. I regret not studying on vacation like Ro
Dominik POVIs she ever going to get tired? Those are the questions that are haunting my head lately, as I see Victoria sitting next to me at my desk, reading one of her school books, looking quite distracted.It's been a week since Victoria started this hellish routine, coming to my office without any invitation, and staying here to bother me, asking me every chance she gets about the issue I least want to talk about: the division of assets. Because of this, I don't know anymore if Victoria is too dumb to understand that I definitely don't want to talk to her about that matter, or if on the contrary, she is a very intelligent and persistent person.Although I would deviate from the second option.Since no matter what I do, how much I try to get her to not come to my office and stay quietly at school, not coming to bother me, she manages to get here. We have gone to the point where I have to hire several cars to drop her off at all the exits of her school
Victoria POVFrowning, I shuffle my feet to Dominik's office, which is now empty, something that makes it look a bit scary, as Dominik's style of furniture and room decor is usually very dark, so his office looks very... Sad and ugly."Would you like me to get you something to drink or eat, Miss Miller?" Dominik's secretary, who is walking behind me, asks me.Going to my usual place in the armchair near one of the walls, I reply, "Not necessary, thank you very much.""Mr. Meyer will finish his meeting soon and come to attend to you" The secretary assures me, smiling kindly at me before leaving the place and closing the door behind her.Setting my things down on the couch, feeling exhausted, I sit down on the couch with a sigh, feeling frustrated. I'm not going to give up on the company thing, but my time is consumed in a silly, miserable way by staying here, waiting for Dominik to talk to me to resolve something that is technically mine by right.
