Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 137

VICTORIA'S POV ...

In the evening, I went out lying to my family that I am going to meet a client with Sage. Fortunately, they believed me without a doubt. Yeah, they trust me so much that no one asked anything and even wished me luck to be successful.

Well, won't lie. I do need a luck.

But, it felt wrong and I was somewhat guilty. Still, I did it, convincing myself by saying repeatedly, 'It's only for my family's wellbeing'.

I don't know, how much of it is believable for real.

I settled in my car and asked "Did you bring your gun that I asked for?"

"Yes, ma'am." He replied.

"Good." Then I asked him to drive to the hospital garage. I have no other choice but to meet Surgeon Ronald. I need to solve this mystery.

Sage did not ask any questions and drove to the destination. After we reached, I came out of the car and looked around, as Sage stood behind me.

I looked at my wristwatch, two minutes left to be nine. As I stood there, I heard,

"Ma'am, may I ask whom are we waiting for?" Sage finally asked.

I turned to him. He is going to come along so I feel like he deserves to know for both of our protection.

"The day grandma died, her surgeon Ronald has given me ......." I explained everything to him and he nodded in understanding.

"Did he say where he will take us?" He asked again.

I shook my head honestly. "No, he didn't say about it. We will know this now I guess."

His lips parted after a moment of silence as if he is trying to say something more but the headlight of a car, stopped him and our heads turned in that direction.

Surgeon Ronald got out of his car and headed in our direction. He appeared just in time. Okay, that is a tight level of punctuality right there.

"Hello, Surgeon Ronald." I greeted him and felt Sage standing close behind me. He is alert on his toes. After that kidnapping situation, he turned more careful now.

"Only Ronald, Victoria. I will be calling you Victoria starting from now." He said. His tone is friendlier than this morning.

I don't find it too obnoxious, so I nodded. "Sure. And this is my bodyguard and secretary, Sage. He will come with me."

Ronald only nodded and asked us to get in his car. We did. Soon, he started the car and took a highway that kept us leading out of the city and more to the forest area.

"Where are we going, Ronald? We can talk about it now, right?" I said.

I watched the bottle in his hand suspiciously. Trust this man again? I can't! What if there is something mixed in this bottle!? Maybe, poison or something else?

No way I am drinking this!

Maybe Ronald guessed it. He kept the bottle again and then turned to me again, "It's alright, you don't have to drink. There is nothing in the bottle."

He sighed. "Victoria, I never intend to scare you away but I feel you need to at least have a glimpse of the place you are going now, or else, you would be scared more."

"Wh... what is all this!?" My heart is beating faster. "Wh... what Are you!?" My voice is shaking and even though I am trying my best to calm down and don't give away my fear to him, I couldn't!

Ronald sighed again, "You are scared, I know that. Trust me, we also don't want anyone to know of us. But, only because of Nina Devonte, I am taking you there."

I swallowed the lump in my throat and slowly started calming down realising his soft nature. He might not harm me, right?

Moreover, I want to know all of it. And how does it connect us and Grandma?

"How grandma knows all this? I mean, what you just showed a few ago!"

"Nina belongs to a wizardry family. For years, she stayed away from that world, cutting her toes from the magical world. But when she realised that, her family was bound by a deadly dark spell, she had no choice but to once again return to her family for help. But, she had already broken the bond and to reconnect with them she needed to sacrifice something... And she did fulfill the requirement by sacrificing herself..."
