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

Chapter 11 A token of one-sided love

VICTORIA POV

"So? You have made the final decision?" Antonio asked, sipping his morning coffee.

I chewed the sausage in my mouth and gulped it before answering him.

"Yes, I have decided,"I said, sighing and caressing my belly.

"I don’t want my child to grow up in a toxic place like Devonte’s mansion, nor want this innocent child to

face that same cruel fate as mine like… before."

A heavy lump in my throat turned into a drastic sound of anger and emotional damage.I felt a light

touch in my hand, and when I looked up, I met deep blue worried eyes, recalling me of our father.I

shook my head, smiling sadly.

"Don’t worry; I have learned to accept the truth, Ant.Those three years in that family grew me up and

taught me self-love and respect, which I did not care about before," I said as I held his hand in

assurance before caressing my belly once again.

"This child right here will grow up with a confident and loving mother.I promise..."

I gulped the heavy lump away.

"No more weak and emotional fool, mother."

Antonio nodded his head.

"You sure want to hide the baby from Alessandro?" He asked.

I nodded firmly.

"Yes, I am expecting the lawyer to ask the question related to the baby, and I know what to answer.If

the baby is born after our divorce and as much I have learned about him, he will believe it’s not his, and

I am adamant about keeping that info to myself.I hope you are by my side Ant?"

Antonio nodded.

"I am beside you always, doll.We will raise this child together.I will try my best to become an amazing

uncle for this little one."

He smiled, which was a wave of freshness to me.Soon, I reached the Government office.

Even though Antonio wanted to drop me off, I denied it because after last night, lots of eyes were on

me, and I didn’t want any crazy rumors to start about us today.I waited in the office lobby for

Alessandro.I kept waiting and watching my wristwatch.I swear this is hella irritating.

He is always on time and even insulted me a few times for being late.I just don’t understand why he

can not appear today!? Finally, at ten-thirty, he decided to arrive.

Folding my arms above my chest, I kept staring in his direction.

However, he didn’t seem to notice my annoyance at all, or he did not care.

He looked as handsome as a living being could and made his appearance in a lavish style.

Just the same arrogant and proud Alessandro Devonte I knew.

Did I really think he was depressed about the divorce? Yeah, I might have gone crazy for that singular

second.

He walked toward me, and it felt like he was walking slowly just to make me mad! However, just this

once, and I am not going to behave restless and stupid like him.I won’t lose my manner.I roamed my

eyes at the wristwatch and raised my hand before his eyes.

"You are late, sir. And I thought you never liked to be late?"

Sarcasm dripped from my words.

He didn’t exactly reply to my sarcastic comment but frowned.

Though he seemed so prideful at the moment, a dark shadow was lingering all over his face, which

was non-suppressible.

"Are you sure you want a divorce?" He asked instead of replying to me.

Well done, Mr.Devonte.

Are you finally accepting taunts for yourself?

"I am sure, as much as I know, I need food to be alive," I replied with a proud smirk on my face.

"Now, let’s get inside.I don’t have all day to waste here."

I immediately turned around and walked inside the room where we were supposed to confirm our

divorce.

I stood at the entrance for him while he was unimaginably slower today, annoying me even more than I

already was.

"Walk fast, Devonte." I gritted my teeth at him.

He continued doing what he was doing as if he had not heard me.

I was fucking more sure to divorce this man.

Only God knows what the fuck I was thinking to fall in love with him! Maybe, it’s only because of

Dominique, or else I would have never worked as his assistant or fallen for him! Eventually, he came

inside the room, moving like a literal sloth.

When we sat opposite the divorce officer, he went through our signed paper and looked up at us.

"Is there any joint property?" I glanced at Alessandro.

He was silent, as if he was living in another dimension and not hearing anything.

"No," I replied, leaving him alone.

I just want this procedure to finish and go home.

"Do you have any children?"

The officer continued with his question, and this one caught me a little hesitant, I won’t lie.Watching

Alessandro from the corner of my eyes, I felt a little disturbed saying the word, yet I did.

“No."

The divorce officer then directed his whole attention toward me and asked, "Miss Blake, you sure you

don’t want to apply for any settlement money or property?"

The man seemed a bit surprised at my decision.

Well, maybe he has never seen people walk away with divorce only.

My decision was clear, and I shook my head.

"No."

This time, I felt Alessandro looking at me, but I refrained from giving him pleasure by responding to him

in the same manner and instead maintained my attention on the divorce office.I know I could take the

settlement asset if I wanted, but I don’t want anything from him.

All I wanted was his love or at least a little bit of care and trust, but he didn’t give me any of it.

He could never return those three years of sacrifices I made for him.

Those insults of his family? Can he give back? Mmhm.

Never! Those parts where I have been accused wrongly? Never can he return.

Nor could he give back the most precious thing that I have lost, living in that family.

Though it would be a lie if I said 1 am going with empty hands...

Nope, I am not.

I have a broken heart and a token of my one-sided love and his desire.

After suffering all these years, I think I deserve this precious gift inside me.

"You have no complications in this divorce."

The divorce officer nodded, checked the documents, and then signed them.

The procedure was completed quickly, and after it was done, Alessandro stood up on his feet without a

single word and walked out of the office, never looking back.I watched him go away.

Well, I don’t know about his thoughts, but Iam happy.

Finally...

It’s time to shine, Victoria.

I am independent now and on my own.

I have an amazing supportive brother to care for, a few best friends, and this little one growing inside

me! It felt like a heavy stone had just been pulled away over me.I am feeling so lightened and free.I

walked out of the Government office with a smile and a happy mood.I can’t wait to call Antonio and let

him know this good news! No! I won’t call; I will just go directly to the company! I stood at the side to

call for a taxi when...

"Does divorce make you so happy?"

I heard a cold voice behind me.I did not expect Alessandro still be here as I turned to look at him for

once and then smiled, letting him know the answer was yes! I AM happy!

"Mr.Devonte, if there’s nothing else, please don't contact me anymore."

Though I smiled, my tone remained cold.

I steeped a bit more to the roadside, leaving more distance between us, when I heard his voice again,

"fine, don’t you regret it?"

"Oh! I never will!"

I don’t understand how this man has the audacity to say these things to me.But I refrained from

allowing my temper to control me.I don’t want to ruin my mood over his egoistic taunts.I fully came

down the road and started walking away from him.

And suddenly, I heard tire-crushing sounds.Confused, I looked up or tried to because I heard

Alessandro’s shout before I knew what was happening.

"WATCH OUT!!!"

I turned to him in confusion as he rushed toward me and suddenly pushed me back, which forced me

to fall to the ground.

Immediately, a car came out of nowhere, hitting him in full force as I watched his body bounce up and

then fall to the ground! My whole body froze at the scene, and many things flashed before my eyes.

Dominique’s face flashed before my eyes when he died, trying to save me.

"ALESSANDRO!!!"

A full scream slipped my tongue as I rushed to him. I am shaking in full force as blood oozes out of him.

Tears blurred my eyes, and I shook my head.

"No! No! No! Please… Alessandro!"

But he was not in a sense to answer me as I saw his lifeless body before my eyes.My head started

spinning, and I felt nauseous. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

No, I can not face the same situation again! No! I can not be the reason for another death of my loved

ones! No fuck!

"No...no...no! This can not be happening! No, please! He...elp! SOMEBODY HELP!"
