Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 148

VICTORIA'S POV...

I sat at the edge of the bed as I watched Aless removing his clothes. We just returned from Dominic's funeral.

It still was like a nightmare for me to recall the yesterday night. Everything was almost ending but it turned upside down with one brave move of Sage.

When he accompanied Aless to Carmella's House, he lost track of the guards and Aless both. Even the house vanished from his sight. Sage was confused and scared. He did not waste his time and rushed back to the hospital.

I was awake by the time and when he described all of it to me from the beginning, I was sure that the dark witch was none other than Carmella. Alessandro's deceased mother who was alive actually.

I left the hospital forthwith and explained everything to Surgeon Ronald. Because at this time, he is the one who could help me. Then he summoned Raeven and the rest we all know.

We rescued Lisa and brought her back to her mother that night. Giana was happy and guilty both. As I have said, she could not escape her punishment and the police took her away with a shred of proper evidence and her own confession.

We also decided to consult a psychiatrist for Lisa as she has been traumatised after that cruel kidnap. And currently, she is staying with us in the Edwards Manor.

But, in all this, one thing happened surprisingly. All of them forgot the magical parts of that night. As if in their memory, it's only a human deed and everything caused by Dominic who chose to end himself in the end.

No one recalled Carmella or the existence of Calvin but me. Yeah, like that first meeting with Raeven, I did not forget anything. I remembered every single detail of that night.

This is really surprising and confusing to me. Why it is like that? Why I don't forget things? Does this have any meaning behind it? I don't really know. And as usual, I could not conclude any answer.

"Penny for your thoughts, Ma'am?" My trance broke with Alessandro's soft but deep tone beside me.

I turned my head to him and find him sitting just beside me. I blinked and pursed my lips, before shaking my head. "It's nothing, just random things. What about you? Are you okay, love?" I tried to turn the channel of our conversation.

He smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I am. I have accepted the hard truths of life now. Nothing can break me anymore." He pinched my nose lightly and chuckled.

And I felt relieved inside. This relaxed Aless is needed so much and I am glad that he forgot the cruellest part of it. I don't know if it's destiny or a deliberate move of someone specific, but I am happy with the turn of events.

I leaned on his shoulder and felt his arm wrapped around me, holding me tight in his arms.

"You know, I can overcome everything with you beside me, Victoria. You are the only person who can convert my anxiety into reassurance."

I smiled hearing him and parted my lips to speak when Alessandro's phone started ringing. I sat straight as he picked up his phone.

"Advocate Davis is calling." He frowned.

"Maybe something important. Just pick up the call." I replied, knowing well that Advocate Davis is their family consultant too.

Aless picked up the call and silently heard him. Then, "Sure, Adv. Davis. Both I and Victoria are in Edwards Manor. You can come... Sure, we'll be waiting for you."

After he hung up the call, I stared at him in curiosity. "What happened? What did he say?"

Aless tossed his phone on the bed and shrugged. "He said he wants to meet us. There is something important he needs to tell us. He will be arriving soon."

I nodded, "Oh, okay."

***********

Half an hour later...

Both I and Aless were sitting in the living room, on the sofa and Adv. Davis was sitting in the opposite one of ours.

"What is it, Mr Davis? Why do you want to meet us urgently?" Aless asked.
