Violet's POV “Hello, my Dear,” the perky lady rises from her seat, immediately she sets her eyes on me, and opens her arms to hug me.I'm quite taken aback by her strange humor but I manage to hide my discomfort as she engulfs me in a warm hug.“Oh my goodness, YOU. ARE. SO. BEAUTIFUL.” she says with a hint of admiration after disengaging from the hug, her eyes checking me out from head to toe as she holds my upper arm with both hands.Her aura is friendly and welcoming but I can't bring myself to just trust or like her because she's friendly. I guess I've developed trust issues for strangers after the incident with the detective.The lady is like two inches taller than me, she has doll-like green eyes, her round smooth face with faint freckles looks like she goes to the spa every weekend, she is a red-hair blonde, her hair is well trimmed on the edges and they drop equally above her shoulders, she has tan skin, moderate double D’s like me likewise her hips, her short pants gives me a
Chapter 129Violet's POV My left fingers intertwined in Vincenzo's hands as we drove to the event place, Vincenzo had kissed the back of my hand one million times.He does it absentmindedly because his eyes are on the road, my eyes are fixed on him but his eyes are focused somewhere else, looking out the window like he is thinking of something, I wonder what he might be thinking of, I guess it has to do with me because he subconsciously kisses my hand like I'm going to run away.After watching him for a while I decided to break the eerie silence.“Vincenzo,” I called him and he shook slightly, I think I guessed right, he quivered like he was pulled back from a train of intense thoughts. If I'm not mistaken I see an obvious sign of worry in his expression, maybe something else but that's what I think.“Yes….” He muttered in a low and almost inaudible voice, looking into my eyes with his baby gray eyes, for a moment I locked my gaze on him, and I reached to touch his chin, my blue eyes
Vincenzo's POV Violet tugged the hem of my shirt slightly to get my attention and I tilted to look at her. “What is it?” I asked, creasing my brow as I noticed the faint discomfort on her face, the last time I checked she was clapping at the performance of one of the guest artists. “I want to use the restroom,” She says, leaning close to my ear. I used my hands to give the guard behind me a sign to lean forward, he understood the sign and leaned close. “Take her to the convenience,” I say to him with a fixed voice, he nodded and escorted Violet and they followed a close exit. Once Violet and the guards were out of sight I took my gaze back to the lady speaking on stage “So we just have a few things on our list….” She says scanning through the small long card she is holding, she looks back up, “And we will come to a close for today's meeting,” she says looking with a beam. The words she says catches my attention for a moment but after a few minutes they started sounding like dis
Vincenzo's POV “Why do you ask that?” I stop in my tracks, going back to her; I take a seat beside her. “Because I want to be sure you're doing things because you want it, not because you want to please me,” she said, I see tears run down her cheeks. I instinctively used my thumb to wipe them off, “Hey don't say that, I'm pleasing you, yes, but I want this, why wait longer? Why wait for another year? I want to make you mine. I hope you're happy with that. You said you wanted a future with me in it, have you changed your mind now?” I hold up her chin so I can see her face. “No, I still want a future with you, I just get scared sometimes you know,” she gives me a weak smile. I open my arms and embrace her, she still sobs silently, her shoulders shaking beneath my hold. “You don't have to worry about anything, I got you, nothing will happen to you, okay, I'll always protect you,” I assure her, stroking her hair that's balanced under my chin softly. Whenever I assure her that I'll
Violet's POVTwo hands dropped on my table, I raised my eyes from my computer to see who it was.A particular red-haired Daisy, my closest friend in my workplace.“The CEO wants to see you in his office now,” she said, the seriousness in her tone was unmistakable, my brow creased in confusion, as I try to think what I may have done, due to the rumors I heard when I got a job here if the boss calls for you when you don't work directly under him you're fucked.I'm a new employee, I started working here two months ago, I'm a secretary to his chief finance officer, that's why I'm a bit worried.“Now!” She forced the words through gritted teeth and I flinched back in shock, squinting. I snapped out of my daze.“Okay,” I mutter, stepping out of my desk and on my heels to Mr Rogers's office.I knock once and I hear a loud ‘Come in’, I place my hand on my chest to steady my breathing so I don't look like a freak when I enter his office.I enter the office and close the door behind me, Fear doe
Violet's POV Before getting fired from Rogers company, I already had plans to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday after work, but because of the turnout of events, I'm now jobless.The words Roger said to me were still surreal, but it only confirmed the gossip that the staff had been passing around in the office, how he used his workers and dumped them the way children dump their old toys for better or new toys.I've never had sex in my life, and I want to give it to my future husband on our wedding night not some pervert Boss because I want to retain my Job, it's like selling my dignity for coins that's impossible and against my upbringing, my mother won't be happy about that if she hears it.I had spent all last night preparing this cake for my man. His best color is blue, so I used white frosting for coating the cake and blue for the icing with a little touch of red to add spice to the theme.My bag over my shoulder, the cake in my right hand supported by my left hand, if this cake f
Violet's POV I'm staring at the used condom inside the toilet bowl and this only confirms my suspicions.I want to pick it and throw it in James' face to show him my instincts don't lie, but I can't bring myself to pick it.Tears sting my eyes but I let them fall freely, I cry not because James cheated but because of the sacrifices I make for him daily because I make sure to help him in every way I can, sometimes I even steal money from my Dad, he never knows cause he has enough but I do it for James, I do it for love, my first salary at my workplace I give it to him to support him because I felt he loved me back but this is just proof it's one-sided, this is just proof that I'm being used and I have been wasting my time on a man who has been feeding me deep lies.I want to believe this is a dream but it's not and it hurts so much, I just feel like I've been scammed.*Flashback*“Ma, please be here to pick up James' laundry, he won't be coming home early today, he said I should help h
Violet's POV I opened my eyes and after looking around my surroundings, I could tell that I was in the hospital. I tried to move but the IV reminded me that I'm supposed to stay put.I look around the room, from the IV stand to the television and the table underneath it that has a few bags on top.I look at my sides, I tilt my head to the side and I feel a throbbing headache and I instinctively place my free hand on it, as if trying to calm it.The door swivels open and my mum enters.“Oh Good lord, how are you, my dear?” She asks, standing beside me and caressing my hand.“I'm fine,” I say, groaning as I try to sit up carefully again, but my mom urges me not to stress myself.“Don't worry my Dear, just stay that way, the doctor said you didn't sustain any fatal injuries, so we can go home later if she runs a check on you again and see that you can take treatment at home,” I smile at her and she smiles too.“Thank you, Mom, but how do you know I was hit?” I ask.“You're friend, Daisy,
