Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 14

ALESSANDRO POV

“Hey... Wake up, please!” A desperate tone rang in my head. I opened my eyes only to be greeted by darkness.

I could sense myself but could see nothing.

Where am I? The last thing I remember, I was in the Government office for divorce. Victoria was waiting for me when I arrived there.

I only saw coldness and no regret in those green eyes. She turned into a whole different person since she left me. She was sarcastic about my late arrival.

Did she not get it? I don’t want to divorce her! I was late, wilfully, hoping she would change her mind, which never happened.

She was so desperate to get rid of me. Is she so tired of me? Was I that irritating to be with? I wanted to ask, but I didn’t.

When we were sitting before the divorce officer, and he was asking questions, she did not hesitate to reply once. She knew what she was doing. It seemed I had never met this Victoria before.

She was so desperate to leave that she didn’t bother about the divorce price. In other words, everything she claimed was true; Victoria never mentioned once about my assets.

I was so mad over everything at myself that I did not wait until after we were officially divorced. I just asked out of the place. Even though it was a huge hall but I was feeling suffocated.

If I didn’t walk out at that moment, I might have done something I would regret later. For once, I still hoped her coming after me. Yet, she didn’t.

I wanted to leave that place, but I couldn’t and waited for her. When she came out, she was smiling happily. And it broke my heart.

She is so happy in this divorce; then why has everything fallen apart for me? Why can’t I feel happiness as she does? For three years, I have avoided her. I never cared for her much and ignored her tears, then why can’t I ignore her now? Why does it feel like everything has just ended for me? Why?

I am so mad. I don’t really know anymore on whom or why? I couldn’t stop myself from being sarcastic.

We argued, which started with me, though. Then I saw a car coming toward her as if it had lost its control. Everything disappeared before my eyes, and I didn’t think before jumping in to save her.

Suddenly I felt like I was flying in the sky, and in the next second, I was thrown to the ground roughly. Everything turned black before my eyes, and I woke up in this dark hole.

Am I dead? Am I in heaven or hell? Where is Victoria? Is she safe? Oh God, I just hope she is okay.

“Hey, wake up!” The voice rang in my head again.

I looked around to find the source. I know this voice. “VICTORIA?” I called for her.

And suddenly, I smelled burning fuels and smoke as if I was surrounded by fire, Suffocating. And suddenly, I was thrown back into the same situation of years ago: accident, fire, and a savior.

My whole body is paining. The heart is drumming in its cage.

“Please...” I heard her again and against all odds. Her tone cleared like water.

“Vi...Victoria... Is that you?” My heart was racing faster, and suddenly I could see a ray of light far away.

“Victoria? Are you there?” I slowly walked in that direction. I don’t know what awaits me or if Victoria is there. I don’t even know if her voice is just my hallucination.

I followed my instinct and kept walking to that light. The more I got close, the more I could feel the bright light, and soon it consumed me whole as my eyes ached at the sudden brightness.

I blinked slowly and opened my eyes to find all white before me.

My head is pounding, and my eyes are still hurting for the light. Slowly, I realized the beeping sounds of the machine.

This is... Wait... Am I in the hospital? Am I alive? Victoria? Where is she, then?

My heart churned tightly when I felt something soft tickling my right hand.

I tilted my head, and it was her! Victoria is lying beside me! Her head was down on her hands, and she was sitting on the stool next to my bed.

I swear, at this moment, I felt like I am on top of the world. With her by my side, all my worries and sorrows were gone. I am not sure when I felt this relieved as I am now after seeing her healthy and safe.

It felt like we were not divorced, and everything was like before. Oh, how I wish that to happen.

I sighed and lowered my head more to see her beautiful face. She has a face that you would feel stunning the more you look at her. Her beauty grows with time, and there is no going back.

Her brows are furrowed slightly. Big lashes are almost touching her face, and rosy lips are parted.
