Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 11

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.
