Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 20

VICTORIA’S POV

I don’t understand what is happening in my life. When I wanted Alessandro in my life, he despised me. And now, when I am trying to leave, he is pestering me in every way to annoy me.

I won’t deny it; I am not worried about him. I have loved him for three years, and somewhere in my heart, I still have a soft corner for him. Yet, my determination is not something I would give up after what he did to me.

I have had enough of his ignorance.

I also can’t ignore him; he is in the hospital bed because of me. I was ready to take care of him, and I tried to until Camilla walked in.

I just don’t want her anywhere near my unborn infant or me. The drama of that family is too much to accept. That’s why I walked away.

“But now...” A helpless sigh left my lips as I stared at my phone screen.

He sounded so weak and... sick. Maybe, I will consider visiting him this time; for the last time? Then I will warn him not to call me ever.

Yeah, I can do that.

I just don’t want anything bad to happen when I am a part of it.

However...

I turned to my parents, who were sharing their future plans with James and Maria happily.

How can I let them know about my visit to Alessandro? They will be very upset, and I don’t want to hurt them at any cost. Not again.

Oh, Lord! Such a tough situation! All because of that man!

I stepped toward the dining table with hesitating steps. I was thinking about what to tell them when mama asked with a slight frown.

“What happened, Victoria? Everything alright? You look worried, baby.” She stood up and came beside me.

With her words, all the eyes are on me now. It felt like everyone was worried about me, making me guiltier for doing this.

“Umm... Everything is fine, mama. I just need to go out for some time... If you agree,” I said, ignoring her eye contact.

“Oh, where to?” She asked softly.

“Tell us, doll; we can help you if there is any problem” Papa said immediately after mama.

I felt like tearing up at the continuous concern. Oh, Lord, how much I have missed these people.

But, I suppressed myself from bursting into tears before them and shook my head with a smile.

“No papa, there is no problem. It’s just... my one friend needs me with her now; a little urgent. So, I am hoping you guys won’t mind if I go there.”

I tried my best not to look suspicious of my lie, and fortunately, it worked as they both agreed without doubting me.

It was nighttime, so papa warned me to take a car and a chauffeur. I had no other choice but to do it.

I was grateful to God that he didn’t send James or Mario, his loyal assistant, behind me. I would have been caught in no time.

Soon, I reached the hospital and found Calvin standing before Alessandro’s room. Seeing me, Calvin smiled immediately.

“Oh, I am so glad you are here, Miss Blake” He sounded so relieved from a heavy burden.

“How is he?” I asked, looking at the closed door.

His head hung lower as he shook his head.“Go inside, ma’am. See by yourself,” He sighed.“Oh, my poor boss.”

His words send a cold shiver in my heart as if someone clenched it with a cold hand. I just hope he is okay.

Slowly, I stepped inside. The whole room is annoyingly quiet; only the beeping of machines is coming to my ears. In the middle of it, there he is, laying on the hospital bed, looking weak and brittle.

My heart clenched again; seeing him like this broke my heart. I could be laying down there in his place if he didn’t rush to save me.

I once lost my love and still, that hurts. I didn’t want the same thing to happen to me. Although I divorced him, that never meant it wouldn’t affect me when he was hurt.

Slowly, I went beside his sleeping figure. I guess I did the right thing by coming here. I must have to say, even in the sick bed, he is gorgeous.
