Victoria's POV
I rushed to my apartment door, opened it and ran inside the room
''Is everything okay ''? Sonia sat on the bed while she stared at me with curiosity,
''Nothing.'' I murmured and walked into the room, I sat on the bed, pulled off my shoes before getting up from the bed
''Why did you not come to the bar ?'' I asked
''Nothing, I just took a two days sick leave from the club ".she muttered those words still staring at me with curiosity
I released a soft sign before getting up from the bed
"You look tired, are you okay ?".she asked when she noticed my mood
I smiled and noded my head at her before leaving the room
I got to the bathroom and leaned on the door of the bathroom with a big smile on my face
He wanted me, he said he wanted me.
I smiled and pulled off my clothes, I took a quick bath and left the bathroom
I walked into the room and noticed Sonia was already sleeping, I checked the time and noticed it was already 3am in the morning.
I put on my night dress and climbed on the bed with DOM Tim in my head,
I smiled at myself when his words kept ringing in my head, he wanted me, and he was so sincere with it.
I rolled happily on the bed and took in a soft breath, I just can't wait, I just can't wait to see his face.
With the look of his eyes, I knew he was really handsome and wondered why he was hiding his face from me.
I smiled wildly and closed my eyes while I imagined how he will look like, before drifting to sleep.
I woke up the next morning and realized it was already 12 pm noon, quickly I stood up from the bed and rushed to the bathroom
I took a quick bath and came back to the room while I noticed Sonia was already back from the mall
''Why didn't you wake me up.'' I murmured as I searched for clothes in my closet
'"I thought you needed rest.'' she muttered those words while staring at me with a questioning look,
"Where are you going.''
''To the hospital.'' I replied
She nods her head and sat on the bed
I quickly put on my dress, combed my hair and did a light makeup before leaving the room.
I took a taxi and within a few minutes I was at the hospital.
I went to aunt's room and sat beside her bed while I stared at her,
She looks beautiful in her sleep and I wondered what she would have been doing with her life if I wasn't that careless that faithful night.
I took aunt's hand and placed kisses on them with regrets as I remembered what happened that night.
''Aunt, we are already late.'' I murmured angrily when I realized aunt was still doing her makeup upstairs,
I grumbled and hits my foot on the floor while I wait for her.
In a few minutes she came down while beaming at me, I rolled my eyes at her before looking away
''How do I look.'' she asked while staring at me with a big grin on her face
''Terrible.'' I murmured to myself, but I knew she heard me
She chuckled softly before taping me softly on the shoulders
''let's go.'' I muttered those words angrily before walking away.
I got to the car and sat on the driver's seat while aunt took the passenger's seat.
I started the car and drove off,
''Calm down Vicky, we will meet the show.'' Aunt tried assuring me, but I wasn't listening to her.
My favorite show was about starting in few minutes time and I did not want to miss any part of it.
''You are the cause, aunt, if only you prepared earlier.'' I murmured and increased the speed of the car with my mind focused on the show that was about starting
Few minutes to the drive, I grumbled in anger and increased the speed of the car, so I could meet up
'' Slow down.'' aunt muttered those words while staring at me wild eyes
I signed and was about slowing down, when I noticed a little boy in front of me and I didn't know where he came out from.
Quickly I diverted from him, but I wasn't lucky because I was on high speed and I did not look at the direction I took
Before I could know what was happening, all I could hear was my scream and that of aunt's because the car hit the pillar of a building in high speed and somersaulted.
I opened my eyes and stared at aunt, who was still unconscious, and felt a sharp pain pierced my heart.
She was so lively and fun to be with, when she was around me, but I made her stay in this state
I took in a deep breath and wipe off the tears on my cheek when I noticed a doctor walking in.
''You must be Victoria''
''I am.'' I answered
He smiled at me before he took the chair besides me
''We have already done series of test in your aunt and found out the drugs and machine will work on her, and they will not be any complication.'' hearing those words from him, I released a sign of relief
''But we have to run some test on you, to see if you are okay to take the drugs.''he muttered out while staring at me
''That's okay, when do we have the test ''? I asked,
''Right now.'' he stood up from the chair,
''let's go.'' I left aunt and followed him to a laboratory where my blood samples were collected
'” The results will be out in the evening.'' he smiled at me before leading me out of the laboratory
I went back to aunt's room and sat on the chair while I stared at her with a smile on my face
''Don't worry aunt, you will be okay.'" I murmured those words and took her hands and placed kisses on them,
I was still holding her hands when I noticed the door opened and a familiar doctor walked in, I took a better look at him and noticed he was the head physician of the hospital.
''Good day, doctor.'" I greeted
''Good day Victoria.'' he muttered out my name with a smile on his face before moving closer to aunt
He checked her vital signs before writing something on his notepad
''Are you in charge of my aunt's treatment''? I asked
''Yes.'' he nodded his head at me
''We will start her treatment by tomorrow, and when your results are out we can also start yours.''
'"Thank you.'' I beamed at him before looking away
''Victoria''.he called out my name again
I raised my head and met his gaze
''seems you don't recognize me ".he muttered those words, moving closer to me,
I stared at him and tried to remember his face, but I couldn't.
"I can't seem to recognize you ". I muttered out still staring at him,
He flashed me a big smile before speaking up
"I'm a DOM in the club ".he spoke firmly
"A DOM". I asked again so that I would be sure I heard him right,
"Yes, but we've not been talking, actually I traveled and Just came back to the country ".
I smiled at him and looked away
So many man Doms were showing me their face and even telling me their identity apart from DOM Tim, he was the only keeping his identity from me.
""Nice meeting you ". I brought forth my hand to him for a handshake, but he took it and placed gentle kisses on them,
"You are amazingly beautiful" .he expressed those words like he meant it before letting go of my hand.
I smiled at him and kept back my hand
"I will have to go now ".he flashed me a big smile before leaving the room
I stayed with Aunt for a while before leaving the room.
I left the hospital, boarded a taxi and went back home
I got home and noticed Sonia was watching a TV show on the TV
''You are back, how is she ".she asked with concern
"She is fine". I smiled at Sonia before seating on the bed.
""I need to sleep, I feel so weak ". I murmured tiredly before drifting to sleep.
Eric's POV
I took a sip of my drink as I stared at the documents in front of me, while my secretary stood before me,
"Can we cancel the trip ". I murmured and kept the file on the table
"I'm so sorry sir, but we can't cancel this trip ".my secretary whispered softly
"I know ". I murmured and signaled for him to leave the office with my fingers,
He left the office and shut the door, leaving me alone in my office.
I stood up from the chair and walked aimlessly in the room as Victoria's words rang in my head,
"Show me your face, and then you can have me". Those words have been ringing in my head since last night.
I groaned in frustration and walked to the mini bar in my office, I brought about a bottle of wine and a glass before sitting on the couch
I poured some wine in the glass before taking a sip of it.
I can't show her my face, neither can I revel my identity to her, she hates me, she hates Eric and will have nothing to do with me if she finds out I'm Eric.
I roughly ran my fingers through my hair and took another sip of my drink as her words kept ringing in my head.
I was confused, really confused and did not know what to do
She was my mate, and yet, I hated her, I never showed love or care for her, I always told her how much I hated her and wanted her to be far from me, but I never knew a day like this will come when I would fall in love with the lady I was supposed to hate and throw out of my life.
I picked up my phone and dialed her number, it rang a few times before it was picked
"Hello ".came the tired sleepy voice
I checked the time and noticed it was already 2pm in the afternoon and I wondered why she was still sleeping
"Hello ". I spoke up
"Yes".she murmured,
Hearing her speak this way I knew she did not know I was the one calling
"I wanted to know how you are doing". I spoke up
The line was silent for a while before she spoke up
"Eric, why are you calling".she spoke in an irritated tune
I murmured softly before speaking up
"I just called to check on you ".she did not let those words finished from my mouth before she cut me off
"I'm fine, and please stop calling".she spoke angrily and ended the call on me,
I groaned angrily and stood up from the couch while I walked around the room with anger and pain.
I went back to my chair and tried to concentrate on work, but I couldn't, my thought were filled of her and I couldn't get her off my mind.
I picked-up another phone on my table and dialed her number, it kept ringing for a while before she picked up
"Hello ".she spoke tiredly, but I could notice the excitement in her voice.
I smiled to myself and cleared my throat, so my voice won't sound the same,
"How are you". I spoke calmly
"I'm fine, just tired ".she whispered in a low voice
"Are you okay?" I asked with concern
"Yeah, I'm just a bit weak, but I'm fine ".she murmured tiredly
"Do you want to go out for dinner". I did not know when that left my mouth,
"Dinner?" She asked shocked,
"Yeah ". I spoke nervously as I ran my fingers through my hair,
"Yes, I would like to take you out for dinner if you are chanced". I muttered those words hoping she would agree to go out with me,
The line was silent for a while before she spoke up
"Alright,7pm, I'll be waiting for you". Hearing those words from her, I smiled wildly at myself like a kid
"Thanks, I'll pick you up "
"Alright bye".she muttered those words and ended the call.
I smiled at myself and kept back the phone on the table
I picked a file and tried working on it, but I couldn't concentrate, all I wanted was the time to come quickly
I stood up the chair, picked up my phones and left the office.
I walked up to my secretary's office
"Cancel every meeting ". I declared those words, and walked away.
I left the company and entered my car while my driver drove off.
In a few minutes I was home, I went straight to my room, took a cold a bath and sat on my bed with Just my underwear on.
I checked the time and noticed it was just pass 5am.
I laid on the bed with my eyes closed as her words kept ringing in my head,
I just can't show her my face, at least not now.
I need to make her love me not as DOM Tim but as Eric, her mate.
I picked up my phone and dialed a number, it rang a few times before it was picked
"Good evening alpha ". He greeted,
"Evening, I need your help ". I muttered out.
''Yes alpha, I'm listening".
I stood up from the bed and thought for a while before speaking up
'' I need you to get me some information about my mate''.he did not let me finish before he cut me off
"You've found your mate ?" He exclaims happily.
I groaned when I realized I haven't told him anything about Victoria because I don't even know anything about her.
"It's a secret for now, I will forward you her details while you find out everything about her and send it back to me.'' I spoke firmly.
"I will do just that "
"Very well then, I will be waiting for you". I muttered those words and ended the call.
I kept the phone and thought to myself
If I really wanted Victoria to like me as Eric, then I will have to know a few things about her.
I walked up to my closet, picked up a simple black jean and jacket before bringing out a white shirt and kept them on the bed.
I opened my drawer and brought out a black mask, I took the mask in my hands and stared at it
I knew how badly she wanted to see my face and know my identity
But I just can't show my face to her, at least not for now.
