Lena’s Point Of View
(Married)It was finally the day, it was my wedding day to a man that I didn’t known.We were at the court and the wedding proceedings were about to start but I need to be with my mother at the moment.She held me like her baby, I am her baby.“Mom I cannot do this, I will not be able to.” I tried to wipe my eyes but the more I did that the more I cried, Mom pulled me into a hug and I stayed in her arms for a while, I didn’t want to let go.“Go with him, Lena.” She cried. I watched my mother cry for me and I felt weak.“I am sorry that I couldn’t have found a better way to save your father, my dear. I am so sorry.” Mom cried as she wiped my eyes.“This is for your fathers sake, you are doing it for him, for us.”“Go with him.” She let go of my hand. We were outside the courtroom and Mr Dante stood waiting for us.“I love you baby.” She kissed my forehead and I looked at her. As I tried to hold her, Mr Dante stepped forward. “We do not have this time.” He stood tall and as I looked at him, I got a bit scared. Was this how my new life would be?I wiped my eyes and smiled; the worst smile I had given.“I love you mom.” I hugged her one more time as I could not help it, after which Mr Dante took my hands in his and we walked into the courtroom for the joining.Joining us didn’t take much time and I hated it because I did not have the time to look at my mother’s face because it would take me a year to see her and I will miss her so much.I had dreamt that I would say my vows with someone I loved and my father would walk me down the aisleThe court and wedding proceedings were over and I was now married to this man that I barely knew. As we walked out of the room, I saw mom and wanted to go to her but he pulled my hand back.“You have just 3 minutes.” He said and I looked at him, his eyes were void of emotions I nodded and he released my hand then I walked to meet my mother.“You will be okay.” She smiled, I didn’t feel like I was going to be okay, the rules I had read yesterday had scared me to death, but I smiled anyway; I didn’t want to get her scared.“Take good care of yourself mom, please make sure you eat.” I hugged her and kissed her on her head.My mom looked at me and I looked at her. She donned a simple red dress and had her hair wrapped in a low bond her black hooded eyes were teary and I wanted to hug her tight and not let her go.She stared at me. “You are beautiful my daughter” she smiled at me. She could say that over and over again and I would not doubt her because I know that I was and today I had donned a white dress and I had a glass block heel on and my brown hair was packed in a low ponytail, I looked like my mom and I knew it.“I will be fine, mom. Take care..” I pulled her into another hug, she knew that it would take a year to see her but what she didn’t know was that I wasn’t going to be able to contact her for that one year.“Lena.” He called and I pulled out of the hug and kissed my mom.“Bye.” I said this and Dante took my hand in his.“Mrs Theresa, thank you and goodbye.” Dante tried to pull me away but mom stopped him with her words.“Please take care of my baby. She is my only child and I love her so much.” He nodded and we both walked out. I turned back and watched my mom wave at me. I will miss her.We walked to where his many cars were packed outside the court and we got into one.We were silent as we sat in the car. I looked out the window of the car, I sat at the other end because I didn’t want to have any contact with him. The contract had started and I had to make sure I was following all the rules.I noticed we we’re about to pass by the hospital my father was being treated at and I wanted to tell him bye. I wanted to tell him I had fulfilled my promise by making sure he was going to get treated, I turned to Dante who sat scrolling through his iPad.“I’d like to bid my father goodbye before we leave. It would be the last time that I would see him.” As I said this, he gave me a hard glare but I insisted.“I want to see my father!” I didn’t raise my voice but I made sure he heard me.“Stop the car. Follow her Christian, you have five minutes.” As he said this I smiled. At least I will see my father.The guard named Christian climbed down the car and opened the door for me, I climbed down the car and walked into the hospital, as I walked through the entrance of the hospital, I noticed that they were wheeling a patient out, I looked and noticed that it was my father, he laid there and was being rolled out.“Lena, good your hear.” It was doctor free.Hey doctor, where are you taking my father to?”“The helicopter will be arriving in a few minutes we will be flying your father out. Payment has been made and your mother has signed the papers, your father will get treated.” Doctor Fred said. I was happy to hear this.This was Dante working, he was keeping to his words.“Okay, I’d like to say bye to my father please.”“Do not be long.” He instructed.“Dad, you are getting treated, I am so happy. Our prayers has finally been heard. Get better and I will see you soon.” I kissed him on his cheeks and pulled back.“I love you.”I watched the doctor’s and the nurses roll him out and I heard the sound of the helicopter.“This is for you dad.” I sighed.“I am doing this for you.”Chapter 5Lena’s Point Of View(Mr. and Mrs. Roma)My eyes fluttered and the ray of sun perched on my face and I sighed. I heard the curtain open and I grunted. What was happening? I was too tired to open my eyes, I was used to it, it was mom trying to wake me up for a new day of work."Good Morning Gwen!" I suddenly heard and was so shockedI was forced to open my eyes when I heard a very unfamiliar voice.There were a few women in my room, some of them cleaned the room while a few of them stood by my bedside."Good Morning Ma'am." They all beamed with smiles."Mr. Roma has asked you to join him in his private dining for breakfast."The woman who seemed to be the oldest and the head of all the maids in the room said…I dazed out for a while thinking back, what the hell happened?"Mrs. Roma?"Another maid tapped me softly.What the hell! Gwen, Mr. Roma, Mrs. Roma, crazy beautiful room, Italian accent, private dining?"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"I screamed my lungs out.It was all a joke until t
Lena's Point Of View.(364 days more)"You walk this way to the dining."He said and I nodded"Serve the food." He said and I nodded, there were different varieties of food on the table. So I took what I wanted to eat.I took the basket filled with soft bread and he muttered, I heard his voice but I couldn't understand what he said."Do not take the basket up. Start over."He had this demanding tone and damn I hated it.I picked a few slices and placed them on my plate."Guest first, Gwen." I should get myself ready, this would be my name for a month. I nodded and placed five pieces on his plate."Two. Not five, do you even know how to eat properly? "He asked ."Yes I do."I had experience in serving in restaurants. Maybe that experience was not enough.I had served him his food and he seemed to be impressed as he said nothing.I placed some bread on my plate and used the butter knife to cut it open before rubbing a good amount of garlic butter in it."Gwen, that food is too much, take
Lena's Point Of View(The wife of a Billionaire)A knock was placed on my door and before I could wake up from my slumber to tell the person to come in, my door was thrown open and the person walked into my room.“Good afternoon Mrs Roma, Brunch is served and Mr Roma wants you in the garden now.” It was Irene.“I am not hungry Irene, tell Mr Roma..”“Hmm?,” her eyebrows raised like I had said something stupid.“Tell Dante that I am not hungry and I will not have brunch thank you.” I laid back on my bed.“I am sorry, Mrs Roma, you cannot skip brunch, it is not optional. Mr Roma wants you down in 10 Minutes.” She further explained and gave reasons why I could not skip brunch.I hate this man so much and I wish that he would rot in hell, I cussed him mentally.I stood from the bed and wore my flip flops.“You cannot dress this way Mrs Roma, what’s happening with you?” She asked and it dawned on me that she thought that something was off with me and this is not what I want happening.“I k
Lena’s Point Of View (She Is My Wife)“Pull your dress up,” his voice was stained with authority and I hated it so much, I hated how he could say a thing and I had no other choice but to listen.“Why?” my legs grew weak.“Just do as I say.” I didn’t have to look at the mirror to know that I had a very despicable look on my face. He pulled me out of the dining room and made me stand staring at him.“Do not think that I want to see your fat body.” His voice carried hate, I watched him stoop to the ground then slowly pull the left side of my dress up.“This is the reason why she stared at you that way and until I get this fixed, you shouldn’t have your bath or go naked in front of anyone.” He stood up as he said that.What was he talking about? I opened my mouth to say something but shut it, and he nodded.“Good. Keep the trash to yourself.” I nodded.The man had such great demeanor and it made me scared of him.“During dinner, I’ll tell you what your schedule would look like,” “What
Lena's Point Of View(Bad Anxiety.)"How many times would I tell you that you are freaking me out! I have very bad anxiety."I stayed on the ground for a while trying to get myself to relax.This was what I faced all the time and as much as I hated him to see me in such a state I couldn't stop myself. I was shaking and needed to calm my nerves down"This is bad!" I heard him mutter before turning to look back at the picture. Dante dipped his hand into his hair, ruffling it, while I tried to stay calm. All this was happening because of him, how would he want me to be someone else?I was not comfortable with it as I felt that there was more to his cold and silence than neath the eyes." This is bad. You cannot have anxiety, this will not work." He banged the table that was pushed to the wall and had some cases on them. He turned to the picture of his wife and looked at it. He stared at the picture for a while before turning time."Get up from there."His voice was more authoritative.I ma
Lena's Point Of View(From Lena to Gwendolyn Roma)"Can you please let me eat peacefully? It is hard to eat when you always look at me like I am a criminal, I want you to call me Lena when it is just us, I like my name and it gives me strength to keep fighting."I explained to him hoping that he would understand."Calling you your name would be bridging the contract, but to satisfy you I would call you Mrs Roma when we are alone, after all you are Mrs Roma as we are married. Isn't it?" He asked and I nodded.What a way to turn the tables and still do what you want to do Mr Roma."Now that this is done, I will wait for you in my private dinning area."As he said this I nodded and watched him walk out.I didn't need Irene's help to pick out what to where, I picked a simple dress.I got clad in the new my clothes then made my way to he dinning area.Mr Roma was already seated but he wasn't eating. I joined him. I didn't need him to tell me that I was going to serve the food, I served him
Dante's Point Of View(The counsel.)I do not know how to say it but meeting Lena has changed a lot for me. I have hope of getting what belongs to me back.She isn't anything like Gwen, she just happened to have the face of my wife, there are lots of differences but she still has the face of my wife. Even with that Lena is nothing like my wife, Gwen, she is weak, she doesn't have etiquettes and I know that it's because she didn't grow up in the same environment as Gwen, she is so different from Gwen.I hate the fact that she looks like my wife. The first time I saw her, I thought that I was dreaming but when she told me that her name was Lena, even her accent showed off that she wasn't my wife.I saw her that day in the cafe and I knew it was a chance, a second chance to get all that I was losing, I needed her face if I ever wanted to pull this through.That day, I had carried out an investigation about her. I found out about her sick father and mother, the loan they owed the bank, I
Lena's Point Of View.(Never cuss!)"Good morning Mrs Roma. Mr Roma has asked me to get you ready in 30 minutes because you have a guest waiting for you." I was barely awake from my slumber and it had already been ruined.I said nothing, I didn't want to say anything that would make Irene suspect that I wasn't the real Mrs Roma else my father would not get the treatment he deserved.After a while of silence, Irene spoke, "Should I get your outfit for the day ready?"I nodded and groaned."Sophia."The moment I nodded, she called out to the other maid and the door was pushed open instantly."Miss Irene, you called me?"She asked."Yes, prepare the bathtub for Mrs Roma." I said nothing.After reading a few things about the Roma family, I realized why I was getting special treatment, not me but Gwen.The bath was soon ready and the maid Sophia was about to help me get off my night robe but I remember what Mr Roma had told me, I shouldn't let them see my naked state."I got this Sophia, than
