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 just two-piece of bread."His voice was authoritative as always and I hated it."It wouldn't be enough for me."I gestured and he sighed."Just two pieces of bread Gwen. You already have so much weight and you look like you were picked from the gutter, you don't need to eat. Just water would do."He rolled his words out smoothly and I knew he said this to make me feel hurt, his words always made me hurt. Such a weird man."But it wouldn't be enough, it won't satisfy me."I explained."Say that one more time and you'd end up having your breakfast for dinner." His eyes were so cold and he gave me a very harsh tone. I gulped hard and mentally pinched myself. 'You do not want to have to skip breakfast because of him." I bit my lips then placed the other three pieces of bread back into the basket."Take fresh bread, drop the buttered one." As his commanding voice said this I bit my lips again to avoid me from crying. So this is really what I have gotten myself into, this is the only way for me to get my father treated.I placed the bread back and took fresh ones. I sat on the chair and wanted to eat but he had his eyes on me all the time.Mr Roma took a few bites from his bread and other side dishes on his plate then stood up instantly.He walked towards me and stood at my back, I was finding it so hard to have a bite of my food with his eyes on me. I drank from a glass of fresh grape juice."Do not slouch!" He demanded. He wasn't telling me, he was ordering me and I hated it so much.I sat and straightened my back, then took another bite."Do not take big bites. For peace sake you are a lady."He grunted and I mentally took a mental note of that.I kept trying to eat as this was the first lesson but he wasn't helping me. I took another bite and stared at my plate, I didn't want to take my head up, even if he was at my back, he was making me feel so less of myself and I hated it."Do not stare at your food that way, the food isn't running away you fatty."I hated that he was talking to me this way. He reminded me of my childhood and how troublesome my high school days were.I gulped the drink down. "Do not gulp your drink, take a sip."He corrected. I hated this and I was already fed up.I tried to push my chair backward but he was fast and he held me locked there."Where do you think you are going to?" He leaned down on the chair and I could feel him at my back, my heart gave a thud for God knows what he wanted to do to me."I'm done eating.""No you are not.""Eat!" He ordered but I wasn't in the mood for that anymore, my appetite had long gone when he made a comment about me being fat.I sat still and didn't try to touch the food."Do not slouch, Gwen!" I nodded and looked at the plate."Now eat."I nodded.I felt like I was his slave. I felt so pathetic and awful, I hated this feeling but it would stay until a year would be over.It will be a very long year. 364 days more, you got this Lena.Maybe the only time I'd be able to hear that name is when I call myself that.I had the most terrifying and horrible breakfast of my life and the moment he excused me, I scurried to my room.The maid, Irene, wanted to go in with me but I didn't let her, I wanted to be on my own. Maybe I wanted to sit and try my best to adjust to this new life and this new man in my life, this man that I call my husband.I stripped myself and walked into the closet, I mentally screamed when I realized how big the closet was, varieties of clothes filled the closet. I realized, the closet was bigger than my entire room back in America and my new room? The room Is as big as my entire house.I picked a simpler baby pink dress and strapped the cloth around my body.I walked out of the closet and laid on the bed to rest.As iaid on the bed, I realized how much my life had changed in 24 hours. I now lived in a very big and beautiful house and had everything I ever wanted since I was a child but I hated it so much.This was not the life I planned.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
Lena's Point Of View(No food until dinner time)We both left the cinema room and headed to the discussion room.We got into the room and met a man sitting on a sofa. The moment the man saw us walk in, he stood up and I Mr Roma walked to where he was."Good morning Mr Roma."He greeted and Mr Roma only nodded to his greeting."She's going to be your student and you'll tutor her on Latin and Italian."As Mr Roma said this and the man nodded."Yes sir, I was informed.""Good. Then I will leave you two." I looked at Mr Roma as he spoke to the man who looked a bit older than him.He turned to me and stared at me in the eyes, I felt hate. I saw it in his eyes, I didn't need a seer or a fortune teller to tell me that he hated it."Be good."As he said this I nodded. I didn't want him to get angry.As Mr Roma left, my class with the tutor started and I felt damn hungry, there were a lot of words that I had never heard in my life, I couldn't understand them."Are you getting me Mrs Roma?"I no
Lena's Point Of View(Why do you hate me?)Everywhere felt suffocating and I know that I cried myself to sleep. I stayed there crying and reading through the notes on what I had learned, I want things to be easy for me. I am trying to do what he has asked me to do. I am trying so hard to leave my old life aside to become this woman that he wants me to be all because of my father but he makes things so hard for me.I was doing this for my father and I should be strong and be ready for whatever he had to do. I was happy that we had the no intimate rule, I don’t know how life would have been if we didn’t.I didn't know what time it was but I knew that I was super hungry.I lay on the chair and curled myself to sleep again for the second time. I didn't know how time went by but I know that I was woken by a stern voice calling out to me.I raised my head up and looked at him, my hair was probably ruffled and I looked a mess. It was Mr. Roma."Mr Roma."I stood to my feet but felt a wave of
