Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 132

VICTORIA'S POV ...

Soon, we entered the apartment David lives. He stays on the fifth floor by Sage's information. I rang the doorbell and a few seconds later, a young woman around my age opened the door.

She has brown hair and soft brown eyes and a sweet smile. She at first was surprised and then smiled, "Yes?"

"Hi, I am Victoria Edwards. I am here to meet David Barron. Is he home?" I asked.

She blinked once and then nodded. "Yes, he..." But before she could speak, we heard,

"Who is it, Adele?" A male tone appeared. It was David. However, he paused and his jaw almost hit the ground when his eyes dropped on us. "Miss Edwards..."

"Yeah," His wife smiled Turing to him. "She is looking for you, love." His wife said before stepping away to let her husband come forward.

My eyes fell on his dark one and I could sense the nervousness that he kept failing to hide. "Ah... Miss Edwards. How can I help you, ma'am? Is everything alright?"

"Well, just here to ask if my brother is fine? I heard that, he faced an accident?" I raised my brow at him and his eyes dimmed a little. Of course, he understood the meaning behind my words.

"Huh? Who faced an accident?" Adele turned to her husband. "Honey, what happened?"

David kept his eyes on me, now alarmed of the situation. He pulled his wife closer and kissed her head. "Nothing happened, baby. She is President Antonio's sister."

"Oh!" Adele gasped before turning toward me. "I am really sorry. I didn't know you were President Antonio's sister. I..."

"It's alright. I just need to talk a little to your husband. Is that okay?" I asked. She is a sweet lady and very much devoted to her husband surely. I guess, her innocence brings him out of the dark world but how it connects me in all this?

Adele immediately nodded her head. "Oh please, please come inside. I will bring something for you."

"It's alright. Just a few minutes if David wants. We will talk outside. David?" I raised my brow at him and he didn't reply to me, only turned to his wife and informed her that he will be back soon...

*******

I watched the man before me, trying to suppress his fear and nervousness. The man who worked with Mafias for years surely isn't afraid of me but his family of course. Well, it's my guess.

Both Sage and John are standing beside him, alert on their toes and their blank mode has activated. Especially, Sage.

I inserted my hands in the pocket and stared at David. "Do you know why you are here now?" I asked and he shook his head. Trying to maintain his cool. "Something you are here for, surely not related to President Antonio."

I smiled and nodded, "Smart enough, aren't we? But, your smart mouth is not gonna work with me, David. You also know exactly why I am here. And before you try to play around, let me inform you that, I have proof and without an exact one, I really don't take any step."

David was still blank, as those dark eyes stared at me.

I gasped in silence and both Sage and John also stared at me in surprise.

David shook his head. "My one mistake has brought me down to this situation today." His tone heaved up. "I should have known that the past never can be erased and no matter how much you ignore it, it would never stop haunting you."

He rubbed his face, as I watched him carefully. "What do you mean?"

David looked up at me, his eyes are red and dull. "Roberto Manchini is one of the infamous Mafia leaders of Italy. His gang Scorpio has the ugliest reputation and I was one of them once in my life."

"I left them when Adele came into my life. She showed me the true light in life and brought me out of the darkness. I left the gang and hide away from them and came to America with a new identity. Soon, started working with President Antonio. I thought I left the past behind but, I was wrong..." He sighed.

"He came to my door again, Roberto Manchini. He threatened to take my wife and daughter if I don't do his work and I had no other choice but to give in, ma'am."

"Why he wants to kidnap me? I never had any relationship with any Mafias!" I spoke, shocked and somewhat terrified. The uncertain guess started to come forward as the truth!

David shook his head, "he didn't want to kidnap you." He denied.

Was I wrong to connect it all together? I thought but in the next second, I felt my world just shake under my feet, when he said the next line,

"He wants to kill you ..."
