Victoria POV
"Where's my car?" Dominik's mother says in a loud, demanding tone.
She stops at the entrance of the cottage, next to a frightened and very unfortunate employee of place, that nasty woman is loudly demanding that they bring her car as soon as possible, while the employee apologizes over and over again for the delay and for not being able to give her her car as fast as she demanded. Just the sight of her makes me sick.
Finally approaching her, trying to deal with her temper and clinging to whatever patience I have, I smile and look at my mother-in-law, saying, "Mrs. Meyer."
Hearing my voice, she sounds incredibly frustrated, and distracting her attention from the clerk to see me, she asks, "What are you doing here? I don't want you here, leave now."
"Please Mrs. Meyer, reconsider your decision to leave, you haven't eaten anything from the buffet before you even leave..."
"And why stay, to watch you draw the attention of the other
Dominik POVWith a sigh, I finish arranging the meeting papers, making sure I have with me all the things I need to talk to my main investors and employees today. The meeting we have set up for today is in an hour or even a little more, however as the head of the company, I usually arrive earlier than the rest to the place, as I was supposed to receive the people who would have to come to the meeting to talk to me, and I like to be punctual with that kind of thing.Several days had passed since the lunch we had with the investors in the company of Victoria, and after having received such a good impression from my beloved Victoria, the investors did not refuse my sister's request to have another meeting altogether to discuss the issue of the company's division.Many of the investors were still not convinced that it was a good idea to split the company, worried about losing their investment in the company because of a bad move. But most of them had already met Vic
Victory POVWith a sigh, I watch as Dominik's car pulls up in front of the company building, marking my impending destination."Good luck in there, Miss Victoria" Dominik's friendly driver, who had driven me here, says to me.Smiling somewhat nervously, I reply, "Thank you."I don't know if I'll do well or if on the contrary, it's going to be a complete disaster, but it's too late to back out now, so taking a deep breath trying to calm down, I get out of Dominik's car and enter the building.I think it has all happened too fast now, as it seems like only yesterday when I was as nervous as I am now about going to lunch with Dominik's investors, but it has been over a week, and now I am going to an important meeting that is going to define my future and the future of those I love. This meeting is extremely important, and I have to be focused and calm so I don't screw everything up.Entering the building, just as Dominik had explained to me on
Victoria POVMy palms are sweating, no, actually I'm sweating all over. Standing at the front of that room, next to Aneliss, looking sideways at all those serious investors who look so scary. I don't think I've ever been in such a scary situation in my life, and I hope I won't be in a situation like this again."Good morning, sorry for the delay, but my brother is going through a delicate personal situation right now, so he will be joining us very soon" Greets Aneliss, who is at the front of the table with all the investors around.Snorting with annoyance, one of the investors says, "And what is your brother's boy doing? Does he like to keep us waiting? Without him, the meeting makes no sense at all!"After that man spoke, the other investors start talking among themselves in annoyance, not at all happy to see that Aneliss is taking her brother's place in the meeting. But she manages to remain calm, and clearing her throat says, "Gentlemen, please, this i
Dominik POVThis can't be happening, it really can't be happening. Desperately, I try calling the elevator over and over again, pressing the button that calls the elevators to this floor, but to no avail. What the fuck is going on? Unable to believe that all of this has actually been planned by my ridiculous mother, I am left pacing back and forth in my office and in the hallways outside my office as time continues to pass.This can't be happening, I refuse to think that this damn stupidity is real, because right now... Right now I... I should be with Victoria, damn it, I have to get out of here to go to Victoria!However, it is already too late, as by the time-stamped by the wall clocks in my office, which fortunately has not been affected by the loss of power throughout this floor, I realize that many more minutes have passed than I would expect, and that probably at this very hour, the meeting would have already started, with me or without me, as investors di
Dominik POVSmiling, I watch as Victoria lies down on my bed, looking very happy and content, still smiling as I do."Have I told you yet how proud I am of you for what you just accomplished?" I ask her."Not as many times as you should..." Victoria replies to me, biting one lip appealingly.Laughing a little, I climb on top of her on the bed, as I reach for her lips for a short kiss, replying, "Then I'm going to tell you more... I'm very proud of you, my beautiful wife."Aneliss had already told me the ins and outs of the meeting they had this afternoon, which I was unable to be at because of my mother's nonsense. They had both played an incredible role in the meeting, something that surprises me a lot about my sister since she is not very good at these things, but which in the end ended up with most of the investors in attendance accepting our proposal and ending up signing a document that allowed us to split the company, such an important proces
Victoria POVWith a sigh, I finish putting on my gym clothes, a baggy white t-shirt, and green shorts, both with the school logo painted on the fabric. Fortunately, with this class, third-semester midterms will be over, and with it much of my stress.Every time I think about it, I can't help but be amazed, thinking about how fast the days have gone by, and how I am about to enter my last semester of school before graduation. I can't deny that my life is pretty good now, living with Dominik means living with no pressure about money or my parents' problems, just fixating on relaxing and spending quality time by his side after classes. This is good because, for the first time in my whole life, I only had to focus on school exams, without thinking about my family's problems or bad things about my marriage, these exams were just studying, and that made me incredibly happy, I felt like a normal person for the first time in a long time.After that, other things went on
Victoria POVI always knew that people were cruel, all my life I have been treated like crap by countless people, just because I didn't have the same money as them, or because I was always a bit more shy than others, even now that I have money that hasn't changed, it has even gotten worse if I remember the incidents with Dominik's mother. However, I always believed that I surrounded myself with the right people, not only with my family but also with my small group of friends, whom I adored and still adore with all my heart."It's just that if you think about it carefully... If Victoria and her husband are really in love as the magazines say, it only has to do with the fact that Victoria was a virgin and is young, she has no other value as a person, do you remember the ridiculous thing she did in the play last year because she got nervous on stage?" Comments one of those cruel girls."Victoria must do very well in bed to have caught that man" Commented another on
Dominik POVWith a sigh, I park my car in front of Victoria's school, looking around curiously, does she really study here? It's quite different from the private school I used to attend, which looked more like a campus full of various buildings with medieval decorations and architecture, to this school building which looks like a simple apartment building, and a cheap apartment building at that. I guess it's because I haven't visited many public schools throughout my life, but I can't help but be curious to see this."Maybe... I should have insisted on switching Victoria to a private school earlier" I say in a whisper, somewhat regretful upon seeing the precarious study establishment Victoria was studying in, but it was too late for that, as Victoria would soon graduate from this place, which is a pity.Sighing, I open the driver's door of my car, and quietly walk down the driveway outside the school. Outside the establishment, there are still several students,
