Victoria POV
What 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.

Dominik POV.Taking a deep breath, after that release of anger I just had, I look up, watching as Victoria runs and grabs her things. This makes me blink and feel somewhat confused, as for a moment I expected her to respond to me, to argue with me.But Victoria behaved in a completely different way, surprising me as usual, and practically ran away. So in silence, expectantly waiting to see what she was going to do, I just stood and watched as she grabbed her things and ran out awkwardly, pushing the door of my office hard. Watching her run away, I stand up, hesitating between whether I should follow her or not, starting to reason that the things I said to her maybe went too far.So a few seconds after Victoria runs off, I watch as Lisa peeks inside my office confused, telling me, "Mr. Meyer, you need to go get her."Letting go of my hesitation after hearing Lisa's words, I leave my desk and walk quickly outside down the main hallway, approaching as fast a

I had planned to go home, as I left Dominik's office I just wanted to give up and go back home to my parents and what my life was like before all of this. But when I was in the elevator, thinking about everything that happened, I realized I couldn't do that.Where was I going to get a thousand dollars even if I could? I have no money, I'm broke, my family is broke from my wedding that happened only three weeks ago. If I left Dominik's house and gave up, the contract would be broken because of me and I
