Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro)

Chapter 57 a huge threat

VICTORIA’S POV

I stared at him, stunned. What did he say? Back to his life? The way in the past?

I couldn’t help but laugh hard this time. Bitterness rolled out of me in a way I didn’t even feel when I

heard Camilla was out of jail. This man really knows how to send me to the edges of my patience.

Surprised at my reaction, I felt his gaze on me but couldn’t care less. He should have thought deeply

before saying those words.

Who on this earth would lead the life I spent with him those three years? In the hell? And he even NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

dared to say that to me?

I glared at him, pointing at my face. “Does it written fool here? Or did you, in your mind, engrave that

particular expression for me?” My tone came out more rude this time. He straightened and parted his

lips to say something, but I raised my hand.

“You better leave, Alessandro. I can’t believe you are still here, saying you want me back in your life

like in the past. What? Don’t Camilla give you the pleasure of torturing her? Or are none of you still

satiated after kicking me to hell?” I snapped at him, getting hyper as my head started pounding.

I inhaled a sharp breath and closed my eyes. Calm down, Victoria, for the child in your womb. I tried to

relax when my eyes snapped open with a soft touch on my hand.

As fury surged within me, my eyes grew wider at the sight of Alessandro sitting beside me and touching

my hand.

I jerked his hand away from me. “Stay away, Alessandro. Please don’t force me to make any rude

decision that will go against you and your family. If you still insist, I won’t stop this time.”

However, he didn’t move but held my hand tight and said, “I am sorry.”

With all my words spoken, he finally said just three words to me. His blue eyes fixated on mine as his

next words rolled out of his lips.

“I know I did wrong to you, Victoria. Every single moment, I was slapped with the reality of realizing my

mistakes. With my every heartbeat, I knew I had done wrong. And I know an apology won’t give it to

me. Still, I am here before you because I can’t live without you.” Alessandro said, and that somewhat

startled me from inside.

Although my sanity remained unresponsive, my erratic heart responded to his words. I had consumed

poison for the sake of our love, and that venom still inflicted pain on every part of my being. I continue

to suffer the consequences of that momentary lapse of sanity.

Each day I am also reminded of how stupid I was. Then why? Why do I still want to believe his words?

I moved my hand from his and looked away from him.

“Leave Alessandro. Someone may be waiting for you back at home. Don’t waste your time here,

ridiculing me.”

I wanted to mock him for letting Camilla out and then saying those things to me. Yet, I couldn’t as my

throat started getting heavy. I don’t want to be weak before him and let him know I still love him.

“I never let Camilla out of prison, Victoria. Will you believe me?” I heard him saying, and as much as I

didn’t want to, my eyes found their way to him.

His blue eyes were desperate and frustrated as he rubbed his face before focusing on me again.

“Trust me, Victoria. I didn’t let her out. Fuck! I wasn’t even thinking that! I was relieved when I heard

she was in jail. Neither I nor any of my family members had a hand in it. I came all the way from

America solely to find you, Victoria. No Camilla or anyone else in my life can ever take your place...”

I didn’t even notice his last words but was stuck at the point where he claimed that he didn’t let her out.

His impatience and emotions of him were urging me to believe him.

Is he really not involved in it?

“Then who did it?” I blurted out.

Alessandro stopped and stared at me for some time, then shook his head with a frown.

“I don’t know. When I investigated it, I only found that someone hired a high-profile lawyer for her. The

person is still anonymous, and my investigation is still on.” He paused before adding, “but whoever it is

must have some other motive.”

I watched him drown in tension. Half of me believed him, but the question is, if not Alessandro, then

who?

Maybe, I have to investigate in my way.

Dropping this topic aside, I concentrated on the man himself.

“Still, you and I are not possible, Alessandro. I think you should leave.” I stated.

“I didn’t come here to leave alone, Victoria. I will take you back with me.” He stated immediately after.

“You can clearly see that I am not alone anymore.” I retorted.

His eyes fell on my baby bump before he nodded. “I see. If this is about the baby, I don’t care who the

father is. I want you back in my life.”

“What? Like the past?” I couldn’t stop myself from mocking this part. He froze for a second before

shaking his head vigorously.

“No! Don’t get me wrong, Victoria. I didn’t think about my words before saying them. I meant you as my

wife.” He sighed. “I am so dumb.”

I was silent, listening to him. Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind.

“You don’t care if this baby is someone else’s? You are still willing to accept?”

And to prove my doubt right, he nodded his head. “I am willing to do anything to get you back in my

life.”

My heart churned. I still don’t want to believe that the doubt dancing around my head is true.

“And what about your family? Will they accept?”

“I don’t care what they think anymore. I just want you, and that’s it. I will give my name to this baby and

love as my child.”

And that’s it. This is the end of my patience level. So, he wants me back now and is willing to accept if

this baby belongs to someone else?

This only happens because of my identity, right? Only because I am Victoria Edwards and not just a

simple Blake. Would he accept me alone if I was the simple Blake, forgetting about the baby?

The thought once again turned my mind bitter and filled with ridicule. He really thinks I am stupid,

doesn’t he? I never even bothered to glance when I was beside him.

Not just one or two days but for three years, he ignored and used me like a plague, and now, when I

gained my real identity, he turned to me and asked me to return to his life?

He thinks as the heiress of E Shine, I can be useful other than the bed, doesn’t he?

Well, he could only dream of that.

I removed my eyes from him. This time didn’t feel guilty for not telling him the baby belonged to him.

“Leave, Alessandro. I don’t want to see your face again.”

My tone turned colder, and I could feel his surprised gaze on me.

“Victoria, I...”

“Just leave,” I screamed, bringing Jayden inside as he opened the door and peeked.

“Is everything alright, Victoria?” His worried voice came.

Alessandro said nothing but stood up quietly and walked towards the door. Though I was not watching

him directly, I was looking at him from the corner of my eye.

He stopped and turned back to me.

“I may be leaving now, but that doesn’t mean I will stop chasing you, Victoria. I have said once and said

again, I didn’t come here to leave alone.” With that, he walked away.

I let out a shaky breath this time. My whole body just let go as I leaned back on the bed-stand.

Jayden walked inside with a tray filled with fruits. He set the bed table and placed it before me.

“Here, eat some fruits.”

“I don...” He stopped me with his next words. “Doctor’s order.”

I stopped heaving a breath. And then he sat beside me and started talking about some random funny

things.

I am grateful he didn’t ask about me and Alessandro’s conversations. As I was hearing him, Sage

knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

He walked in and nodded slightly at Jayden before speaking, “bad news, ma’am, those men take their

lives.”

“What? When did this happen?” I dropped the piece of apple that I had just picked up to eat.

Jayden, too, turned to him in a daze.

“When they were handed over to police, in the middle of the investigation, they gulped the pin in their

mouth.”

They commit suicide? For what reason would they do it? At first, I thought it was a normal kidnapping

only for money as my identity was revealed to the world. But now, this seems more dangerous and with

an ulterior motive.

“Did you search their profiles? What’s in there?” I asked.

Sage seemed a little worried about this question.

“None of them has any previous criminal record. They are lower middle-class people but with respect

and no bad reputation. They seem like regular hard workers, but...”

“But what?” Jayden asked this time.

“They seemed to have to go through a serious financial crisis these days. So, police were guessing,

because of that, they chose this way as a shortcut.”

Jayden nodded. “This could happen, I guess.”

But I don’t know why I didn’t feel that way. There is more to it, and my intuition is alerting me.

“Or maybe not. This is just only for the show that has been prepared for us. There is more to that story,

especially their suicide.” I shook my head. “Not something believable to me.”

I looked up at Sage. “Dig more. I am sure you will get more from it. And also investigate who helped

Camilla out of prison. Was it Alessandro? Or someone else?”

“Yes, ma’am.” With a nod, Sage walked out, leaving me with new thoughts and an unknown fear, slowly

making its appearance with a huge threat.
