Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 30

ALESSANDRO’S POV

Every vein of mine started throbbing furiously at that assistant of hers. She actually gave a cold shoulder and left with that guy! What could that man possibly offer her?

I just wanted to pack her up and then take her to my home if possible.

But I can’t simply do that! She already hates me enough, and I can’t tolerate more. Now I know how she felt when I loathed her love.

A few days had only passed, and I was losing my sanity, but she endured my entire family and me for three years without a complaint. I sighed, rubbing my face in frustration.

“Sir, why don’t we go back to the office now?”

I heard Calvin, who silently witnessed everything that happened, and I could hear sympathy lingering in his tone for me.

I wanted to snap at him, but I didn’t. I only nodded, agreeing with him. “Let’s go.”

Getting inside the car, I closed my eyes, leaning against the seat.

These days, the more I see Victoria, the more she seems so different. As if something suddenly changed inside her. I just don’t know what it is, but the change is there, and I can feel it.

She is... My thoughts were interrupted by a ring on my mobile, and when I looked at the screen, it was grandma.

At this point, I can guess why she is calling me now. Mrs. White couldn’t degrade Victoria in her workplace and saw me here, taking her support. It is likely that she will report this to grandma.

But they don’t really get it, do they? I am not the same Alessandro from before, who was blinded by a stupid ego.

“What happened?” I said with my usual blank tone, receiving the call.

Grandma was silent for a second; maybe she didn’t expect this tone from me. Next second, she replied, “Come home, Aless. I need to talk to you about a matter.”

I didn’t reply and cut the call.

“Turn the car to the old mansion,” I ordered before closing my eyes once again.

****

Reaching the mansion, Calvin opened the door for me, and I came out of the car.

With a sharp breath, I went inside only to find both grandma and Mrs. White sitting in the huge hall room as Mrs. White was crying her heart out to grandma.

She is complaining about how Victoria insulted her, and I took her support.

My footsteps might get their attention, and grandma glared at me furiously.

“You are finally here, Aless! What is all this I’m hearing?” She said, caressing Mrs White’s back in comfort.

“And what are you hearing?” I arched my brow at her, ignoring that nasty woman completely.

“What is this attitude of yours, Aless? This is very unlike you! Very unacceptable! What that woman did to you that you became like this, huh? What is wrong with you?!” grandma asked with disappointment and anger.

“I am sure that bitch did some black magic on him!” Mrs. White spoke beside grandma. She was trying to use her as the shield against me. “She captived his soul too much that he even lied about the divorce alliance! She made him torture my innocent Camilla! She is playing with him even after their divorce! And she...”

“Shut up!” I growled at her, not gonna have it anymore. I have had enough of this shit.

Both women were stunned, and Mrs. White slightly hid herself behind Grandma.

“Aless!” grandma retorted, half aggressive and half shocked.

“You are the wrong one in the first place and even shouted at her! Stop being stubborn, Aless!” Grandma closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down and then open again. “Say sorry to her, Aless.”

My rage was on the verge of bursting. “For what? Standing for the truth or for not supporting the lie?”

“Aless...” grandma gasped, hurt at my words, but that can’t stop me now. I have lost her enough, and I can’t let it happen again and again.

I raised my hand, stopping her in the middle. “Not a word, grandma. As you get to know many things, then you should also know that Reywalt is going to support the new design auction Victoria will hold.”

“What? Alessandro! How dare you do that?” grandma shouted. “I won’t ever allow that to happen!”

I only smirked a little at her. “That is my final decision. No one gets to talk over it. Not even you, grandma.”

My words fell coldly. I have never talked like this ever with grandma, but this time, her blinded trust in that family surpassed everything.

Tears formed in her eyes, and her weak knees probably couldn’t help her stand anymore. She slumped on the sofa while shaking her head.

I gulped hard, wanting to go to her and comfort her, but my weakness would repeatedly give her power to badmouth Victoria, and I don’t want that.

Sometimes, people need to close their love for the time being to make everything alright. And I did lock mine too.
