ANA'S POV
"Am not going ", I said.
"And why is that ?", he asked me.
"I just don't feel like going am I supposed to do everything that you say ?", I asked him.
"You're coming end of the discussion ", he said as he walked away to his room.
Six months we had been married and we had never slept in the same bed. It was not that I was complaining but that was not how I had imagined marriage to be.
I had thought it was this beautiful thing but each day that I spent with him I thought otherwise. I know people would think that I was a coward but I had no choice.
He paid for Immaculate's medication, my stepmother without him would be dead. So I would rather be miserable that see her dead.
I stood up from the dining room and went in the direction of his room. Just because he made all the rules didn't mean I had to follow them.
I opened the door without knocking and at that moment I thought about why I had done that. I should never have. If I had just been a good wife and listened to everything he said maybe I wouldn't have to witness another woman in his bed.
"Hey ", the brunette that was lying on his bed said to me.
Her skin was flawless I could not even see one mark. Compared to me we were nothing close. Her smile showed off her perfect teeth and accentuated her asymmetrical face.
"Hey ", I said back.
"Babe you didn't tell me you had a sister we could have hung out a couple of times ", she said and Vincenzo came from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.
I looked at his face but there was no emotion, nothing it was just blank. I had thought that he would feel regret when I saw him with someone else but he just didn't care.
"She isn't my sister ", he said and my heart skipped a beat. At least he had admitted I was not his sister and I waited for him to admit that I was his wife but it never came from his mouth.
How stupid was I to think that he even cared? The only reason that he had married me was for his status but he somehow couldn't admit it to the women he brought to the house.
"Oh, I never thought you let your workers barge into your room without knocking ", she asked him.
If anyone asked me why I was still standing there I wouldn't have answered them. Standing there being humiliated by the man I was married to.
"I don't ", he said without looking at me.
I could not see my face but I sure knew I was not frowning. If I was then tears would already be rolling down my cheeks.
I could not let him see how it affected me, he already controlled a lot I couldn't give it to him just like that.
"Can you please leave we need privacy, I've missed my baby ", the lady said as she touched him and I almost threw up.
"Sure ", I said.
I left the room and locked the door behind me and went to my room. I don't know what I had expected. Maybe he was decent enough not to sleep with other women but again I was wrong.
The fairytale I was looking for did not exist at least not when I was with him.
"Ma'am the people with the dresses for the ball are already here should I call them up to your room ?", asked Aliya the moment I reached my room.
"No, I need a minute to breathe first ", I said as I sat down on my bed and let out a frustrated sigh.
"Are you okay?", she asked me worry all over her face.
They all knew that we were not your typical married couple it was so clear. We did not even sleep in the same room and I could count the number of days that Vicenzo slept at home in a month.
"Were you awake when Vincenzo came in last night ?", I asked her.
"Yes ma'am I was ", she said and I could tell by her face she knew what I was about to ask next.
"Did he come in with her or did she arrive this morning ?", I asked her.
"He came in with her ", she said with a frown on her face.
"Okay, go and tell them to come after twenty minutes", I said as I gave her a sweet smile.
"Okay, "she said as she left.
I wasn't even mad that he was sleeping with her. What were the workers going to think of me? He was embarrassing me in front of the people I lived with every day when he was away.
Even if they didn't say it to my face I knew they talked behind my back and said all kinds of nasty stuff about me.
I had now calmed down and was ready to start trying on the dresses.
The designer was already in the room and had laid out give dresses on my bed waiting for me to wear them.
"I don't think that brings out your figure and it's a little figure ", Armando said as I looked at myself in the mirror and he was right.
After trying out almost fifteen dresses I was pleased with the one I was wearing. It accentuated all my curves and was something that would draw attention to me.
I wanted to look stunning. To enter the room and have everyone's head turning to see who it was. The smile on Armando's face said it all he was pleased with the dress.
"Whoever knew red would make someone look this stunning ?", Armando asked as he pushed my hair back.
"This is my color ", I said smiling.
"Yes love it is now let's do your hair and makeup when am done with you Vincenzo wouldn't be able to keep his hands off you ", he said and I just chuckled.
ANA'S POV"We're going to be late, what is taking you so long ?", I heard Vincenzo shouting from the corridor."She'll be out in a minute ", said Armando.I looked at my reflection in the mirror and I had never looked so gorgeous before. The smokey eye makeup that Armando had decided to go with really made the whole outfit pop out.My hair was in curls and tied up at the top of my head showing off my perfect jaw. I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled."I'm ready ", I said as I stood up."Okay come on let's go, "said Armando as he opened the door for me.I made my way down the stairs struggling a bit probably due to the platforms I had decided to wear. I could see Vincenzo on his phone and he looked well like he looked every day.I had never seen anyone wear a suit better than he did. He looked up from his phone and I could tell by the look on his face that he was shocked. I tried to hide the smile on his lips but I had already seen it. He put the phone back in his pocket as he
VINCENZO'S POV I was taken aback by how she looked. I had never seen her dressed up or have any makeup on her face. I always thought that she was beautiful but I was just caught off guard.I wanted to tell her how it felt to have the prettiest woman in my arms but I knew she didn't care about that. She did t even want to go to the ball in the first place.She has just agreed to it because she didn't want to fight with me. She had found me with a woman on my head and didn't say a thing. Just stood there when Aurora called her my maid and didn't say anything.How stupid of me to think that she would even want me? She only married me because she was benefiting something from our union.I could see all the men looking at me wishing they were the ones that were with her and not me. She looked anxious as she took a glass of champagne and drank it."Are you okay ?", I asked her."Yeah ", she said as she smiled at me.I saw Arturo with some of the board members and I had to go say hello. It
VINCENZO'S POV"So do you like him?", I asked her as she swayed with the soft rhythm music."Like who ?", she asked.She knew who exactly j was talking about and she still wanted me to say it."Dylan ", I said."Why do you ask it's not like it matters to you ", she said as she looked up at me."You are my wife of course I care ", I said snickering."It didn't seem so when you left with that woman ", she said and I let out a chuckle."So all this is about her ?", I asked her."Can we please dance so that you can go back to her she seems mad, considering am your maid", she said sarcastically.At that moment I felt guilty. Guilty for standing there as I watched Aurora shame her without even uttering a word. I did not think that it was important but as I looked at the sadness in her eyes as she said it I felt like the most horrible person ever."I didn't have sex with her if that is what you are wondering ", I said hoping it would at least make her feel better."I don't care ", she said a
ANNA'S POVWe enter his room and he doesn't bother to turn on the lights. He puts me on the bed and I can see the moonlight outside shining so I was able to see his face.The dress I had been wearing was now nowhere to be seen as I was left in my undies. His eyes raked over my body as he took his suit jacket off and ripped open his shirt. He covered me on the bed and started kissing my calves. "You're so beautiful ", he said and I could stop myself from filling the tingling sensation between my legs. He cupped one of my breasts as his lips started kissing mine ferociously.I moan in his mouth as he bites my lip and squeezes my boob. I was getting impatient as he continued to play with me and he still had his trousers on. He unclipped my brazier and my boobs were bare just staring at him. I could feel his hard member pressing on my stomach and the thought of it was making me even hornier.I want to tell him that this is my first time but what if I ruin it? What if he wouldn't like
ANA'S POVIt had been over a week since I had last seen Vincenzo. I don't know what I had expected to happen. Somewhere inside of me I still thought that fairytales existed.That a prince would come and sweep me off my feet but as days went by I realized that didn't exist. I had gone back to the usual things that I did all the time. Wake up eat and then go back to bed. The days were getting longer as time went by.I could not complain I had the best week with him but once he had gone away from business that was it.Maybe I was acting like some clingy wife but what was I supposed to do in this situation? Was I supposed to forget all the amazing sex that I had?Every time I looked at something g all I got were flashbacks and I couldn't help myself but get wet by the things I thought of.I did t know that once you started doing it was like you carved it all the time. After finishing taking my shower I went downstairs to eat. That was the only activity I did during the day. Maybe he wou
The bright light streaming into my room woke me up and I wondered who had pulled the drapes. I turned to stretch and the bed was empty.I opened my eyes and closed them shut a minute later as all the light was too much. Vincenzo was no longer beside me and I wondered if he had already gone to work.I made my way downstairs and I heard some chatting and I wondered who was talking. I went to the dining room and I found Vincenzo and some man who I had never seen before."Good morning ", I greeted them as I sat down."Good morning ", said the strange man."This is your chauffeur, Raul. He'll drive you to wherever you want to go ", said Vincenzo."Oh thank you ", I said as I served myself some breakfast."Well you're dismissed ", said Vincenzo to Raul and he left."Immaculate wanted to see you ", said Vincenzo without looking at me."Oooh I'll go by the hospital to see her then ", I said and we fell into an uncomfortable silence again."So any plans for today ?", I asked him trying to star
I make my way to the wing where Immaculate was. I knew they were mad at me but I hadn't told them the whole truth. How could I though? How could I tell them that I had sold myself so that Immaculate could get treatment? Someone else would have thought that it was something nice that I had done but it didn't seem like it when I thought about it. Sometimes in life when you don't have a choice you do things that you never thought that you would do so that you can get what you wanted. Beggars were not choosers you just had to take whatever was offered without complaining. I opened the door to Immaculate's rooms and it seemed like Alphonso was not around. I wondered where he had gone as I took the seat next to Immaculate I held her hand. She was fast asleep probably due to the drugs that she has to consume every day. They were the only family that I knew of so even if it meant a lifetime of not being happy so long as they were okay I would do anything for them. I remember how my wor
"Dear when did you get in", I heard Alphonso's voice as he brought me back from my thoughts. "I've just been here for a couple of minutes", I said as I stood up to hug him. "I've missed you so much", he said as he pulled back and inspected me. "You look healthy", he said as he chuckled and we sat on the couch both looking at Immaculate. "You do too, have you been eating?", I asked him. "Yes I have", he said and he looked like he was eating not starving himself. I made sure that they go the best service in the hospital. Why wouldn't they when I was married to the CEO of the hospital? "Am glad Vincenzo told you to come over, is he treating you well?", Alphonso asked me. "Yes he is", I said as I smiled. I didn't know if I was being treated nice or not. When I had signed the contract I was only supposed to be his wife because he needed people to see him as a married man. No one would take a bachelor serious in business if all they saw was him with another woman every time he was
