Dominik POV
Standing 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
Victoria POVWhile my heart was beating desperately in my chest, I couldn't stop looking at Dominik's eyes, so close to me, so close to my body... I can't help but be so nervous to have him that way next to me.Trying to push the nervousness away I tell him: "Stop playing... This is no fun, let me go..."Cocking his head to one side, Dominik brings his face very close to mine, whispering to me: "I'm not playing, not anymore, are you still playing with me?"Holding his face so close, so close that I can practically feel our lips brushing as we speak, I blush heavily as I feel his breath with the distinct smell of liquor hitting my face. This is the first time in my whole life that I feel like this, so scared but at the same time attracted, as I can't stop shaking and feeling scared, but at the same time, I also wish that Dominik won't stop and keep holding me that close to him...But keeping my sanity, I put my hands on his chest trying to push him
Dominik POVI opened my eyes hearing the knocking on the door in the distance, yawning softly, I sat up on the couch I was on. Taking a little while, I only just realized where I was, the place where I had spent the night, that private suite where the light filtered heavily through the large windows that overlooked the outside of the city.Taking a little while to react, I hear the knocking on the bedroom door again, and yawning I stand up. I was feeling a little more tired and heavy than usual, since the night before after arguing with Victoria I ended up drinking a whole bottle of Whiskey by myself, because of how miserable and damn angry I felt after everything that happened. So after drinking so much alcohol, I ended up losing my mind and falling unconscious on the couch in the middle of the hotel suite, losing even the sense of what had happened and where I was.With the hangover hitting me hard, I slowly walked to the door of the hotel suite, where taking
Dominik POVVictoria and I have a silent walk in the direction of my home, I feel the atmosphere heavy and tense between us, mainly because I think Victoria is angry with me for what happened yesterday. And as much as I would like to apologize to her for what I did, since now being calm and fully conscious, I realize that I really overdid it with her, that I went too far, and that I shouldn't have kissed her or touched her like that. But I can't do that right now, as my driver is with us, and this matter is too delicate to talk about in such a light-hearted manner in front of the servants who attend to me.In the middle of a road that is not so long, as the hotel where our wedding was in the privileged area of the city, we finally arrived at an area closer to the center of the city, in that area that borders the area of the rich and the center of the city. This place is good to live in my situation since the area where my company building is located is close to the cen
Victoria POVI carefully finish closing the buttons on the sweater I'm currently wearing, finishing dressing that way for school. In the second week of January, as I had been told before vacation, I was to return to school to start my second-semester exams, which undoubtedly made me nervous, as I didn't know if I had studied enough for my school exams.Seeing the time, I decided to hurry, gathering my hair in a ponytail behind my head, and grabbing my last few things for school, I hurry out of my new room. Opening the door and stepping out into the main hallway, for a moment I turn in the direction of the end of the hallway, where all is silent and the doors are closed."Dominik..." I whisper looking in that direction.But I had no more time to waste, and not wanting to be distracted by more inane things, I walk down the stairs to the first floor of the house, where I go straight to the exit of the house."Miss Victoria, wait" Suddenly said a kind
Victoria POVWhat was the main reason I agreed to marry Dominik?Well, besides the fact that I obviously have no money and my family has no money to pay the millionaire sum that meant breaking the contract that obligated me to marry him, there was also another reason.To get my grandfather's company back.Leafing through a gossip magazine during the break, Jenny looks very excited from one minute to the next and says to me: "Did you hear the new rumor about the city's high society?""New rumor?" I asked Jenny blankly."Everyone is talking about it, how the heir to one of the richest families in town had a wedding on the sly a week ago" Jenny explained very excited, putting the magazine in the center of the coffee shop table we were sitting at: "Can you believe that? Dominik Meyer just got married..."At recess, as usual, we find ourselves eating while studying a bit for the exam we would have after lunch. Jenny is eating the food her
Dominik POVSighing, I close my eyes with some exhaustion, leaning back against the back of the seat of my desk chair with some force. The day was very quiet, and amidst the silence of my office, I can hear how through the window behind me, the soothing sound of the street reaches my ears, relaxing me that much more and getting me on the verge of falling asleep.Amid that silence and peace, I am surprised when I hear the sound of my desk phone ringing. So coming out of my relaxed and dreamy state, I reach out one of my hands across the surface of the desk to pick up the phone, which I answer with a serious tone."What's wrong?" I ask my receptionist, who is the only one who can call me on that phone line."Mr. Meyer, the front desk informs me that your wife has come to see you," Lisa answers.Victoria? What the hell is she doing here? After listening to what Lisa tells me, knowing that Victoria is in the building, I remember what the maids who atte
