VICTORIA’S POVI 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 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 y
AN IINNOMINATE POVAgain... Again, I have failed to get her. Those two men get caught. Even though I am not worried because their families are bound to me, they wouldn’t dare speak out even if they wanted to. Still, it’s pinching me badly that I failed once again!Aaagh...I discarded everything on my desk, including the files that exclusively held her pictures, and scattered them across the floorVictoria... My love, my only possession. With her introverted personality and kind nature, she embodied beauty and talent. When all the other boys were behind her, she was my girlfriend.Everyone used to be jealous whenever I walked her by my side. No one knew her real identity then, not even me. That simple girl suddenly turned into the heiress of Edwards—the second large shareholder of E Shine.But that doesn’t matter to me. I don’t care if she is only that simple Victoria or The heiress of Edwards. I want her back again in my life, at any cost.When everyone thought I had died, I was fight
ALESSANDRO’S POVI dragged myself out of Victoria’s beautiful Villa, broken and devastated. The hate I saw on her face for me was something I deserved, but my mind was not ready to accept it.Heck! It would never be ready!I knew something had changed in her when I saw her in front of the super mall, and when she was taken home unconscious and that middle-aged lady, Maria started crying and caring for her and the baby.Every inch of me crumbled when I realized she was pregnant. She is fucking pregnant for five-six months!A part of me really wanted to know who the baby belonged to. And another part of me believes that the baby is mine. She was my wife five months ago, and our marriage was not sexless.Did she get pregnant at that time? Then why she never told me? Wait...I stopped on my track with a thought in mind. Was she pregnant before our divorce?Fuck! Then why didn’t she tell me? Had I known, I would not have agreed to the divorce proposal.But then again, my mood plummeted, as
VICTORIA’S POVI sat on the sofa in a daze. Anyone who sees me right now would think I have been presented with bad news. Alessandro’s unannounced presence and forced settlement in my home is nothing less than bad news!And he did not only stop there, but he immediately walked inside my room along with the suitcase he carried after declaring his demand to stay.What the fuck is happening in my life?! Am I going mad, or is he acting insanely? I left my home just to live in peace, but I don’t seem to get it here too!Well, the past three months were amazing, but Alessandro appears to be constantly disrupting my peaceful life!“Hi... Is he going to stay here? In your room?” Maria gasped, her eyes still wide open because of the sudden news that walked through the door.I shrugged, not knowing what to reply. I really don’t want to argue with this man in my life anymore, especially during my pregnancy.I don’t want to cause any more trouble for the baby. Though his behavior excites me, I nee
VICTORIA’S POVSigh...At this point, life appeared so helpless, and I don’t have any freaking way to look for some liberty from this mess.Alessandro Devonte once again started crawling into my life; this time, I don’t know how to stop him. No matter what I say, this man seems to not mind any of it.Did he sell all his shame in wholesale before entering here? Maybe, because the Ince egoistic, arrogant, and proud man seems so easygoing and ignorant from every insult that is coming on his way!I repeatedly sighed while shifting my gaze toward Maria and James, as his presence already freaked them out, and from time to time, Maria glanced toward the kitchen and then shook her head. She is worried and nervous.To be honest, I must admit that I am also guilty of this behavior. The man who never set foot in the kitchen has now taken control of it and insists on preparing meals for ‘his wife.’I mean, did he just lose his memory at the part when we got divorced? Do I need to remind him about
VICTORIA’S POVI didn’t wait for anything else as I ran into the washroom. I went to the bathroom pan and vomited everything inside me. And practically, there was nothing much.I can’t believe he fed me pork! I am crazily allergic to pork and shrimp! Fuck!I felt so drained, and my heart sank at the thought that the man who used to be my husband for three long years didn’t even know what I am allergic to!The effect was so heavy that my stomach suddenly started aching, and my heart was clenched tight in fear of losing my baby!He fed me pork… Pork… Pork… Pork… Pork...That was the only thing that was roaming in my head. More than the pain, I was scared to lose my baby as I heard gasps and footsteps behind me.“Oh, God!” I heard Maria’s squeal as she ran toward me.She held me in her arms, and I am glad she did. I almost lose all my energy; I felt like tearing apart. A painful sob came out of me.“Oh, don’t be afraid, sweet; James called the doctor!”“I...” I couldn’t speak anything but
Hearing what the host said, I was stunned in my seat. With the claps, cheers, and Daniel’s over-excited encouragement, nothing is settling in my mind, and I was in a daze.I mean, how did this happen? I never aimed for it. Fuck! I didn’t even think that writing my name on it and submitting it with other papers could cause a problem like this!Wait a second... Didn’t they check it beforehand? They did, right? Then why didn’t they remove my paper, which was empty?I was confused and drowned in my thoughts when I heard a male voice say, “Miss Edwards, please join us on the stage.”I blinked, and for a certain time, I felt it was all just a mistake. But it was not, and I realized that when my overexcited assistant pulled my hand up in the air.“Here, this is Victoria Edwards!” He was too excited as if he had just won the lottery!“Ladies and gentlemen, please round of applause for the lady herself.” The host announced, prompting everyone to applaud, and I overheard some individuals offeri
VICTORIA’S POVI heard Sage’s deep tone as I looked out through the window; he was right. We have reached the destination.Sage opened the car door for me, and I came out carefully, not hurting my baby in the process.I looked before me; we were standing before a huge yacht in the beach area. The weather today is a bit warmer than on other days, and I liked it.As I was out of the car, the car started again and went away, while a woman in a formal suit walked toward us with a smile on her face.“Miss Edwards?” She asked, and I nodded.“Yes, that’s me.”“Welcome to our love yacht. We are happy for you. Please follow me, ma’am; I will lead you the way.”With a nod, I followed her while my eyes kept roaming the huge yacht. This is not the first time I am watching a luxurious yacht. But, it’s a little different feeling I am having now.I can’t exactly tell what it is that makes me so tense, but it feels like my stomach is clenching with a cold fist, and some butterflies are tingling around
