ANNA'S POV. The entire week passed by smoothly and I was starting to like working there. Vincenzo ignored me like I was a plague but I was already used to it. He didn't want people to know that we were married and I understood that. To be honest I hated it there. Maybe it was better for me to just stay at home and wait for him to provide everything for me. As I tossed in bed I sighed in frustration thinking of what the day had in store for me. Passing by people talking about my husband had to be the worst thing to hear in the morning. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and I was a mess. I was never really the type of girl who woke up looking like a princess. I winced in pain as I tried to comb my hair which turned out to be an epic fail. After a hundred tries my strawberry hair was perfect. I rushed down the stairs to find Raul waiting for me. At least it was the moment that I enjoyed in the morning. Riding with him to work. "Good morning ma'am", he said bowing down. " G
The ringing in my head was becoming persistent and I couldn't get it to stop. I stumbled as I slid down to the floor trying to catch my breath. It wasn't happening, was it?I was having a panic attack at work. Everything became blurry and I couldn't even differentiate between what was real and what was not. All I need was to try and calm down otherwise I would spirally at work. I didn't want people to think that I was crazy. I wanted them to like me and no one ever liked a psycho bitch before. Deep breaths... One two three... It wasn't working. Maybe it was because I was panicked. "Put your hands over your head and count one, two, and three until you feel you have calmed downed", my mother had said. One two three... I repeated it trying to take slow shallow breaths and my hands stopped shaking. The door of the bathroom suddenly opened revealing a small figure. "Hey you okay"?", the lady asked as she scooted closer to where I was seated.I tried opening my mouth to say wor
I strutted into his office hands behind my back. I didn't know what he was going to say but given the pissed-off face he had, I knew it wasn't going to be a pleasant talk. I shut the for behind me as I stood at a safe distance waiting for him to say something. The man who looked pissed off in the corridor was no longer the man that I was standing in front of. He looked like a different man. I moved closer to his desk so that I could inspect his face but there was nothing. No emotions on his face like he was void. "You wanted to talk to me or just stare at me?", I asked him as I dropped my hands to the side. He looked at me as his jaw ticked and he cracked his knuckles. Was I in trouble? "Now I don't think that is how you talk to your boss is it?", he asked me as he closed the documents that were on his desk. He has to be kidding me. Was there anyone who was watching us that he thought he had to keep the act of not being my husband? I loomed around the room and just as I had t
THIRD POV. Anna left the building fuming as she made her way to the coffee shop. Why wasn't she enough? That was the only question that was in her head. Vincenzo looked at his watch and it felt like time was at a standstill. He was tired and all he wanted was to just leave the office at the end of the day but Anna was not making it easy for him. She was always mad at something and he wondered most of the time what was wrong with her. He looked at her. She wasn't the type of woman that he would go for even on the day that he didn't have a penny to his name. She was attractive he couldn't deny that but it wasn't that just that. There were thousands of attractive women who wanted him. She behaved like a child when she was a grown-up. All she could think about was what Vincenzo was doing and who he was doing. It didn't matter though because their marriage wasn't your everyday marriage. If he could go back in the world wish that he never offered her that contract. He wanted her woma
For a moment she never stopped to think what she was doing to herself . She was just damaging herself for someone who did not care for her at all.At some point she came to the realization that maybe the reason it was not working out was because she had wanted it so much .He was not his knight in shining armor though . He was just a damaged man in her life who only cared about himself and the sooner she came to that realization the better .As she stared outside the window if her room she took in a deep breath and wondered how time few by so fast . It was already a year since she had gotten married to Vincenzo and things couldn't be any worse than they were .She left her room and made her way to Vincenzo's office . She knocked and waited for him to answer until the reply finally came ."Come on in ",he said .She opened the door and let herself in . She saw less of him as he was always locked up in his office or busy with work trips .It was not that she wanted to see him all the t
ANNA'S POV.Sometimes it's funny when people think that you are stupid but fail to realize that you're just a kid .I look back at the things that I did before now and am disgusted by myself . How could I do that to myself .I thought I was a strong woman but I really wasn't I was just a stupid kid who thought things were supposed to be perfect .I walked inside the building with coffee at hand . Everyone was looking at me and I couldn't quite know what made me look at me . Maybe it was because I looked like a goddess or the fact that my heals left clicking sound everytime I walked .Either way I really didn't care they could stare all they wanted . I woke up in a much better mood this morning and I was looking forward to the day .I reached the elevator and saw Vincenzo coming my way and I didn't k ow if I wanted him to ride the same elevator up with me but it really didn't matter because I looked up and he was standing in front of me ."Hello ",he says as he presses the elevator ."
As I looked over the document over and over again I didn't think it would be true . It would b an amazing opportunity for the company but there it lay Infront of my eyes .A small scale farmer who planted apples was looking for a company to help him ship his goods . That was not all that made me happy , he had markets with very important people in the marketing industry that no matter how less they were it would still.I had to tell Vincenzo about it . I stood up from chair and went to his office and entered without knocking . I regretted it the moment I stepped inside .He looked up from his work and looked at me as if all he wanted waz to strangle me ."We do t knock now ?",he asked me ."Am sorry I was a little pre occupied and forgot ",I said sincerely as I pinched the bridge of my nose hoping he would drop it so that I could tell him what I had come to say in the first place ."What is it ?",he finally asked as he sat upright in his chair and for a moment I was lost as I looked
The little girl in me was doing flip kicks but then I reminded myself that maybe this meant nothing to him .It was just dinner and I was thinking too much into it .The ride down the elevator was quite as none of us bothered to say a word . I was excited to say the least but I couldn't show him that ."We'll use my car I'll tell someone to drive your car home for you ",he said and I nodded in agreement . The elevator stopped and he waited for me to get out first as he followed right behind me . His car was already at the front waiting for us and as he opened the door for me to enter . I looked around hoping that no one was watching us but there were people but they seemed to engrossed in their business to notice what was going one and he noticed as it was the first question he asked as he got in the car ."Are you afraid of being seen with me ?",he asked as he started the car ."Afraid of being seen with you no you're hot am sorry my bad I didn't mean that it's just that you didn't
