Victoria POV.
After leaving Dominik's office, I feel incredibly relieved, as if a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Closing the door by myself, I walk back to the elevator by which I had gotten here, remembering the way well. Lisa, Dominik's kind and beautiful receptionist offers to take me to the elevator, but I refuse, as I'm not so dumb as to not remember how to get there. So I just say goodbye and thank her for her kindness and help, continuing on my way to the elevator.
My meeting with Dominik had been very quick, stupidly quick if I have to be honest. Since I had hoped that when we both met, we could talk at length about the matter of our engagement and what it entailed for us, but Dominik didn't seem interested, and ended the matter rather quickly as if he didn't care; which is irritating but reassuring at the same time.
Reaching the elevator, I press the button to call it up to the floor I'm on, while still thinking about everything that happ

Dominik POV.A month passed since I signed the document that obligated me to marry Victoria Miller, and now we are less than two weeks away from our wedding.Just as I promised her, shortly after we signed the contract in my office that same night, I took care of making it legal with my lawyer, and when we finished the process of the stamps and legal validation for the document, I had her copy with all the signatures and stamps delivered to Victoria's house, along with a wedding ring that my assistant bought for her.I didn't want to give her the ring, it seemed like a silly waste of money because the contract that obligated us to get married didn't stipulate anything about a ring or any of that nonsense. But Lisa insisted, pointing out to me how important those silly details are for some women, and that even if I don't love Victoria, I should try to make her happy to have a healthy coexistence by her side when we both get married. So since Lisa insisted so much

Dominik POVAmid my mother's hateful and insistent complaints, which were about to drive me crazy, we made our way back from the outskirts of the city where my family's mansion is located to the city again where on this occasion we headed to the hall where my wedding was to take place.Thanks to the planning of the wedding planners I hired and the efforts of my mother, we had everything almost completely finished organizing, however before we could finish everything, we had to talk and finally confirm everything with Victoria's family, so we only needed to talk to them to finish everything that was left. We had already booked the date of January 4th to have the religious ceremony in one of the biggest and most colorful churches in the city, while the party would take place in the best event hall we could find for the same date, in an auditorium that belonged to a five-star hotel.We couldn't meet at the church, so we decided to have the meeting at the hotel hall

Victoria POV."Why did you do that?" my mother asks me upset, as we walk out of that fancy hotel together to go home.I didn't want to make a fuss right there, not with Dominik and his mother so close still, but my mother was very upset and scared, walking next to me to scold me for what happened at the meeting."Tory, listen to me, I'm asking you, how do you plan on buying those rings, we don't have enough money to afford something like that!" my mother says to me."It's just that I... I'm fed up" I answer truthfully, "Did you see the way she treated us? I couldn't stand her treating us that way, no more..."Stopping my advance through the entrance of that hotel by taking me by one arm, my mother tells me: "Victoria, you can't do this, you can't do something like this to us, we can't buy those rings, we can't afford that money.""I know, believe me I know, even better than you, it's not for nothing I'm marrying Dominik, I'm doing it because

Victoria POV.I always dreamed of a magical wedding because of my mother. When I was younger, my mom always told me about the wedding she had with my dad, the day my mom always called: the most important day of her life.My mom's dream was always to be a family woman, she got to fulfill herself professionally and all those things, but I knew her too well, so I knew that her biggest dream was always to have her own family and find her great love, my mom is that kind of women who dreams of having a great love story with a happy ending.I don't know if her dreams were fulfilled regarding that, to have a great and epic love story, but I do know that my mom fulfilled her dream regarding her family, because even though now with my marriage and all those other things we are in kind of a family panic, my mom was always happy regarding the family we have, her kids and her husband. And following that idea, it's very obvious that for my mother, a very important moment of t

Victoria POVNervously, I bite one of my lips softly, while looking at my reflection in the mirror."Damn... I shouldn't do that" I say to myself, stopping biting my lips immediately.It was very early, almost early morning, but I had been summoned here on the day of the wedding before the ceremony so I could get dressed up properly, doing my makeup and putting on the dress I bought with my mother for the wedding. And while all of that stuff I just mentioned sounds "easy", it really isn't, it takes way too much time and is very stressful.We are in a beauty salon in the southern part of the city, the area where there are wealthy people, and where I guess Dominik's family lives. As arranged, my parents and I arrived at 5:30 am in our car, and it was our big surprise when we saw inside the salon several women already getting ready for the ceremony, among whom I could identify Dominik's mother.If you had asked me, I would have preferred to get ready

Dominik POVStanding at the altar, I let out a sigh, why am I nervous? This is a game, it's silly, but still, I'm standing here, and I can't help but press my fingers against one of my hands with some force because of how nervous I feel, just wanting all this nonsense to end at once so I can stop going through this tense moment.I'm in the church, standing at the altar, which is adorned with ivory-colored flowers. All around me, I have the church full, not only with my relatives or Victoria's relatives but also with my business associates and famous or important people in the country, big groups of people who are here just to see me marry Victoria.The whole place is silent, with the people who are here equally waiting for Victoria to arrive, talking to each other in whispers or staring at me; which only makes me more nervous. And the only people I can focus on, watching them out of the corner of my eye from my position, are my family, who are sitting very close

Dominik POV.The cheers and applause are heard again, and although I see how in front of me Victoria wants to tell me something, I don't make much trouble, and wanting to end all this as soon as possible to leave quickly, I approach her and take her by the chin, kissing her lips. Carefully I join her lips with mine, feeling her warm, soft skin against mine. But it's just a kiss, something unimportant to me, so I soon release her chin and pull away from her face again.And although I expected Victoria to have the same reaction, as something as normal and unimportant as a kiss, when I pull away from her and see her face I realize that she has not taken it as something so simple. Looking very embarrassed, Victoria has her whole face very flushed, as she stares at me and is speechless. Looking at her so surprised, I realize that the kiss hasn't meant as little to her as it has meant to me, so I hesitate if I should apologize for my rash actions.But watch out of the

Victoria POVSilently and with my eyes lowered, I feel the elevator we're in go up all the floors of the building, taking us up to the hotel suite, the one where I'd been told we'd be spending the night. I can't help but feel nervous, my heart pounding wildly in my chest, and all the strange feelings I have for Dominik completely overpowering me, feeling him so close, next to me in this tiny elevator.I can't help but feel nervous, because today even though I don't want to do this, I will have to stay here with him, all night by his side. This made me especially nervous because I understand that Dominik is not an easy person to deal with, plus right now, he looks especially annoyed, so much so that he hasn't spoken to me since we left the party room and headed to the hotel elevator.Amid that tense atmosphere between us, we finally reached one of the top floors of the hotel, where I guess our suite was supposed to be. Exiting the elevator behind Dominik, I follo
